SAN DIEGO, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AnaptysBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on delivering innovative immunology therapeutics, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and provided a business update.

“This quarter, we continued to enroll patients globally across three Phase 2 trials for our two best-in-class checkpoint agonists: ANB032, our BTLA agonist, and rosnilimab, our PD-1 agonist. By year end, we anticipate sharing top-line data from ANB032's Phase 2b trial in atopic dermatitis, as well as moving our two preclinical immune cell modulators, ANB033 and ANB101, into clinical development,” said Daniel Faga, president and chief executive officer of Anaptys. “Additionally, we are excited to further strengthen our balance sheet by adding $50 million through a capped non-recourse monetization of Jemperli royalties as well as share incremental data from the imsidolimab Phase 3 program.”

      • Rosnilimab and placebo-treated patients who achieved clinical response on mMS are eligible to continue on their assigned treatment for an additional 12 weeks, while patients on placebo who are non-responders will be crossed over to the high-dose rosnilimab treatment arm, in an all-active treatment period and then followed for a three-month off-drug follow-up period
    • Reiterating top-line Week 12 data anticipated by H1 2026
  • Presented poster on previously reported rosnilimab Phase 1 data and membrane proximal binding epitope to optimize PD-1 agonist signaling at the 19th Congress of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) in February 2024

First Quarter Financial Results and Cash Runway

  • Excluding the $50 million in proceeds from the capped non-recourse monetization of Jemperli royalties by Sagard, cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $370.1 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $417.9 million as of December 31, 2023, for a decrease of $36.9 million relating primarily to cash used for operating activities as well as a one-time non-operating cash payment of $10.9 million during the quarter.
    • Reiterating cash runway through year-end 2026
  • Collaboration revenue was $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change is due primarily to increased royalties recognized for sales of Jemperli.
  • Research and development expenses were $37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due primarily to development costs for rosnilimab, ANB032 and ANB033 offset by a decrease in development costs for imsidolimab. The R&D non-cash, stock-based compensation expense was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $2.8 million in the same period in 2023.
  • General and administrative expenses were $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The G&A non-cash, stock-based compensation expense was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $6.1 million in the same period in 2023.
  • Net loss was $43.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, or a net loss per share of $1.64, compared to a net loss of $44.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, or a net loss per share of $1.58.
