SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWTX), a commercial-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on severe rare diseases and
cancer, today reported financial results for the second quarter of
2024 and provided an update on recent company developments.
"We are very pleased with the continued strong momentum of our
U.S. launch of OGSIVEO for adults with desmoid tumors. In the
second quarter, we also completed the submission of our NDA for
mirdametinib in NF1-PN, which positions us to potentially have our
second medicine available for patients in 2025," said Saqib Islam,
Chief Executive Officer of SpringWorks. "Our focus for the second
half of 2024 will be to drive broader adoption of OGSIVEO, to
advance our commercial preparations for the launch of mirdametinib
for children and adults with NF1-PN, to continue advancing OGSIVEO
and mirdametinib through the European regulatory process, and to
progress our emerging portfolio for patient populations with high
unmet needs."
Recent Business Highlights and Upcoming
Milestones
OGSIVEO®
(Nirogacestat)
- Strong commercial execution of the OGSIVEO launch, with net
product revenue of $40.2 million in the second quarter of
2024.
- In May 2024, SpringWorks introduced OGSIVEO 150 mg and 100 mg
tablets in blister packaging, which was developed to enhance
patient convenience with OGSIVEO.
- A Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for nirogacestat
for the treatment of adult patients with desmoid tumors is under
review with the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
- Additional data from the Phase 3 DeFi trial of nirogacestat in
adults with desmoid tumors highlighting consistent safety and
efficacy across subgroups of high-risk patient populations and
updated ovarian toxicity resolution data supporting the transience
of ovarian toxicity were presented at the 2024 American Society of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
- SpringWorks expects to present long-term follow-up data from
the Phase 3 DeFi trial at a medical conference in the second half
of 2024.
- SpringWorks expects to report initial data from the Phase 2
trial evaluating nirogacestat as a monotherapy in patients with
recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors in the second half of
2024.
- SpringWorks is continuing to support several industry and
academic collaborator studies evaluating nirogacestat as part of
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) combination therapy regimens
across treatment lines in patients with multiple myeloma.
Mirdametinib
- SpringWorks completed the submission of a New Drug Application
(NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
mirdametinib for the treatment of children and adults with
NF1-PN.
- The Company expects to complete the submission of an MAA for
mirdametinib for the treatment of children and adults with NF1-PN
in the European Union in the second half of 2024.
- Data from the pediatric and adult cohorts of the Phase 2b ReNeu
trial were presented in an oral presentation at the 2024 ASCO
Annual Meeting and were also featured at the 2024 Global NF
Conference and at the International Symposium on Pediatric
Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO) 2024 meeting. Results showed robust
objective response rates confirmed by blinded independent central
review, deep responses, significant reductions in pain, improvement
in other quality of life measures, and a manageable and tolerable
safety profile were achieved across both the pediatric and adult
cohorts. SpringWorks expects to publish the ReNeu trial results in
a peer-reviewed journal in the second half of 2024.
- A poster evaluating the dispersible tablet of mirdametinib in
children with NF1-PN in the ReNeu trial was presented at the ISPNO
2024 meeting. Patients and caregivers reported high acceptability
scores for ease of swallowing and willingness to take the
dispersible tablet formulation, indicating that this formulation
provides an acceptable option for children or adults with
swallowing difficulties.
- Initial data from the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating mirdametinib
in patients with pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGG) were presented
at the ISPNO 2024 meeting. Results from 23 patients enrolled in the
Phase 1 portion of the study suggested that mirdametinib, which has
high blood brain barrier penetration, has encouraging clinical
activity in patients with recurrent/progressive pLGG across a
variety of MAPK pathway aberrations. The Phase 2 portion of the
study is ongoing and recruiting patients.
Emerging Pipeline
- A Phase 1b trial evaluating brimarafenib (BGB-3245) in adult
patients with RAF mutant solid tumors is ongoing; additional data
from the dose expansion portion of the study is expected to be
presented in the first half of 2025. Brimarafenib is an
investigational, selective RAF dimer inhibitor being developed by
MapKure, LLC, a joint venture between SpringWorks and BeiGene,
Ltd.
- Patients continue to be enrolled in several combination therapy
oncology programs: a Phase 1/2a study of brimarafenib and
mirdametinib in MAPK mutant solid tumors, a Phase 1b trial of
brimarafenib and Amgen’s EGFR inhibitor, panitumumab, in colorectal
and pancreatic cancer patients with known MAPK pathway mutations,
and a Phase 1b trial of mirdametinib with BeiGene’s RAF dimer
inhibitor, lifirafenib, in adult patients with NRAS mutant solid
tumors.
- SpringWorks initiated a Phase 1a trial of SW-682, an
investigational novel, oral, potent, and selective pan-TEAD
inhibitor, in Hippo-mutant solid tumors in the second quarter of
2024.
General Corporate
- In July, SpringWorks appointed Martin Mackay, Ph.D. to the
Company’s Board of Directors. Dr. Mackay is a highly accomplished
R&D executive with more than 30 years of pharmaceutical and
biotech R&D experience, including leadership roles at Pfizer,
AstraZeneca and Alexion.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Product Revenue: OGSIVEO net product revenue
was $40.2 million in the second quarter of 2024.
- Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
Expenses: SG&A expenses were $57.8 million for the
second quarter of 2024, compared to $47.0 million for the
comparable period of 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was
primarily attributable to commercial activities supporting the U.S.
launch of OGSIVEO, as well as commercial readiness activities to
support the U.S. launch of mirdametinib, if approved.
- Research and Development (R&D) Expenses:
R&D expenses were $44.4 million for the second quarter of 2024,
compared to $35.9 million for the comparable period of 2023. The
increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to an
increase in costs related to drug manufacturing, clinical trials,
other research, consulting and professional services, and an
increase in employee costs associated with headcount growth.
- Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders:
SpringWorks reported a net loss of $39.9 million, or $0.54 per
share, for the second quarter of 2024. This compares to a net loss
of $77.9 million, or $1.25 per share, for the comparable period of
2023.
- Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable
Securities: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities were $521.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
