SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWTX), a commercial-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on severe rare diseases and
cancer, today reported financial results for the third quarter of
2024 and provided an update on recent company developments.
"In the third quarter, we continued to see robust growth in the
U.S. launch of OGSIVEO for adults with desmoid tumors. As we
approach nearly one full year on market, we are very encouraged by
the metrics we are seeing regarding the breadth of physician
prescribing, the number of patients on OGSIVEO, and the number of
patients identified who may stand to benefit in the future from our
medicine. We were also very pleased to receive Priority Review on
our NDA for mirdametinib in NF1-PN this quarter, which positions us
to potentially have a second approved medicine in early 2025," said
Saqib Islam, Chief Executive Officer of SpringWorks. "Our focus for
the remainder of the year is to continue building on OGSIVEO’s
momentum in the U.S. while working to also bring it to patients in
Europe, to advance our commercial preparations for mirdametinib in
anticipation of serving patients with NF1-PN in the U.S. and
Europe, and to progress our emerging portfolio."
Recent Business Highlights and Upcoming
Milestones
OGSIVEO®
(Nirogacestat)
- Continued strong commercial execution of the OGSIVEO launch,
with net product revenue of $49.3 million in the third quarter of
2024, representing a 23% increase over the second quarter of
2024.
- In September, more than 800 unique desmoid tumor patients
filled an OGSIVEO script. As of the end of the third quarter of
2024, approximately 420 treatment centers have ordered OGSIVEO
since approval and approximately 65 percent of OGSIVEO patients on
OGSIVEO are receiving the product in the 150 mg or 100 mg tablets
blister packages. SpringWorks expects to complete the full
transition to blister packages by the end of the year. In addition,
through August 2024, approximately 10,000 unique desmoid tumor
patients have been identified through the new desmoid tumor ICD-10
diagnostic code since the introduction of the code in October
2023.
- 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).
- Long-term follow-up data from the Phase 3 DeFi trial of
nirogacestat in adults with progressing desmoid tumors will be
presented as a late-breaking oral presentation at the upcoming
Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) 2024 Annual Meeting.
These results, utilizing an August 2024 data cutoff date, showed
that longer-term treatment with nirogacestat (median duration of
treatment: 34 months) was associated with further reductions in
tumor size, increase in objective response rate with additional
partial responses and complete responses, sustained improvements in
desmoid tumor symptoms including pain, and a consistent safety
profile compared to the April 2022 data cutoff date for the primary
results of the trial.
- 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 first half of
2025.
- 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' New Drug Application (NDA) for mirdametinib for
the treatment of children and adults with NF1-PN was granted
Priority Review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of
February 28, 2025.
- SpringWorks’ MAA for mirdametinib for the treatment of children
and adults with NF1-PN was validated by the EMA and is currently
under review.
- Results from the Phase 2b ReNeu trial were published in the
Journal of Clinical Oncology.
- Additional data from the pediatric and adult cohorts of the
Phase 2b ReNeu trial will be presented in oral and poster
presentations at the 2024 Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) meeting.
Data demonstrate that the deep responses in tumor volume reduction
seen in ReNeu were achieved regardless of age, sex, target PN
volume at baseline, tumor location, or progression status at
baseline and suggest a trend between deep response and earlier
achievement of a first confirmed response. Patients with deep
responses also had a trend of longer treatment duration. In
addition, adults and children with NF1-PN had clinically
meaningful, early, and sustained improvement in health-related
quality of life over the course of mirdametinib treatment.
- Data from the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating mirdametinib in
pediatric and young adult patients with low-grade gliomas (LGG) are
being presented in an oral presentation at the 2024 SNO meeting.
Results from 23 patients enrolled in the Phase 1 portion of the
study suggested that mirdametinib, which has shown high blood brain
barrier penetration, has encouraging clinical activity in patients
with recurrent/progressive LGG across a variety of MAPK pathway
aberrations. Twelve (63%) of the 19 patients with measurable tumors
achieved an objective response (one major, six partial, and five
minor responses). 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 second half of 2025. Brimarafenib is an
investigational, selective RAF dimer inhibitor being developed by
MapKure, LLC, a joint venture between SpringWorks and BeiGene,
Ltd.
- Several combination therapy oncology programs are ongoing: 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.
- In October, SpringWorks presented preclinical data at the
EORTC-NCI-AACR symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer
therapeutics demonstrating the utility of SW-682 as a monotherapy
and in combination with mirdametinib in subsets of head and neck
cancer as well as in combination with KRAS G12C inhibitors in KRAS
G12C mutant NSCLC. SW-682 is an investigational novel, oral,
potent, and selective pan-TEAD inhibitor and patients are being
enrolled in a Phase 1a trial in Hippo-mutant solid tumors.
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.
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Product Revenue: OGSIVEO net product revenue
was $49.3 million in the third quarter of 2024.
- Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A)
Expenses: SG&A expenses were $61.6 million for the
third quarter of 2024, compared to $46.5 million for the comparable
period of 2023. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily
attributable to commercial readiness activities to support the U.S.
launch of mirdametinib, if approved.
- Research and Development (R&D) Expenses:
R&D expenses were $42.3 million for the third quarter of 2024,
compared to $37.5 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.
- Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders:
SpringWorks reported a net loss of $53.5 million, or $0.72 per
share, for the third quarter of 2024. This compares to a net loss
of $79.4 million, or $1.27 per share, for the comparable period of
2023.
- Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable
Securities: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities were $498.1 million as of September 30, 2024.
SpringWorks expects this cash position to fund the Company through
profitability, which is expected in the first half of 2026.
