Insights

Financial Analyst

Aadi Bioscience's Q2 2024 results show mixed signals. The $6.2 million in FYARRO sales represents a 15% quarter-over-quarter growth, indicating positive momentum. However, it's flat year-over-year, suggesting potential market saturation. The $78.6 million cash position, while down from year-end 2023, provides runway into Q4 2025, offering financial stability.

The narrowing net loss to $14.6 million from $18.0 million year-over-year is encouraging, potentially signaling improved operational efficiency. The upcoming PRECISION1 trial interim analysis in Q3 2024 could be a significant catalyst for the stock, especially if it demonstrates efficacy across multiple tumor types with TSC1 or TSC2 alterations.

Oncology Doctor

The FYARRO sales growth suggests increasing adoption in the malignant PEComa patient population, a rare and challenging cancer type. The 80% of accounts with multiple orders indicates positive clinical experiences and potential for sustained use.

The PRECISION1 trial is particularly intriguing. Its tumor-agnostic approach targeting TSC1 or TSC2 alterations could significantly expand FYARRO's market potential beyond PEComa. The additional Phase 2 trials in endometrial cancer and neuroendocrine tumors further broaden the potential applications, targeting areas of high unmet need in oncology. If successful, these trials could position nab-sirolimus as a versatile mTOR pathway inhibitor across multiple cancer types.

Market Research Analyst

Aadi's focus on precision oncology targeting mTOR pathway alterations positions it in a growing market segment. The company's strategy of expanding FYARRO's indications beyond PEComa could significantly increase its total addressable market.

The multiple ordering from 80% of accounts suggests strong product loyalty and potential for revenue growth. However, the flat year-over-year sales indicate challenges in market expansion. The upcoming trial results will be important for investor sentiment. Positive outcomes could drive substantial stock appreciation, while negative results might lead to a significant downturn. Investors should closely monitor the PRECISION1 interim analysis and Phase 2 trial results as key inflection points for Aadi's market potential.

Conference call to be held today at 8:30 am EDT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aadi Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: AADI), a commercial-stage, precision oncology company focused on developing and commercializing therapies for cancers with alterations in the mTOR pathway, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and highlighted recent corporate progress.

"The second quarter saw quarter over quarter sales growth for FYARRO, as anticipated, and an increase in demand across both new and existing accounts, including from major oncology centers. Approximately 80 percent of accounts have ordered multiple times already this year, reflecting the clinical value of FYARRO for patients with advanced malignant PEComa," said Dave Lennon, President and CEO of Aadi Bioscience. "Looking ahead, we will provide the next interim update from PRECISION1, a tumor-agnostic study that enrolled any tumor type presenting with qualifying TSC1 or TSC2 inactivating alterations, later in the third quarter. With this study, nab-sirolimus has the potential to demonstrate a meaningful impact on the lives of patients who have already received standard therapies appropriate for their tumor type and stage of disease."

Recent Operational Highlights

• FYARRO net product sales were $6.2 million in the second quarter, an increase of 15 percent from Q1 2024 and in line with the prior year period.
• Two-thirds interim analysis of registration-intended PRECISION1 trial is planned for Q3 2024. PRECISION1 is exploring nab-sirolimus in solid tumors with TSC1 or TSC2 inactivating alterations. The trial is fully enrolled, and study completion is expected by year-end.
• Enrollment into two additional Phase 2 trials is ongoing, with initial data expected by the end of the year. These tumor specific, open-label trials are investigating the potential of nab-sirolimus for difficult-to-treat mTOR-driven cancers: advanced or recurrent endometrioid-type endometrial cancer (EEC) in combination with letrozole, and neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the lung, gastrointestinal tract and pancreas.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2024, were $78.6 million as compared to $108.8 million as of December 31, 2023, which is expected to fund operations into Q4 2025 based on current plans.
• Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $6.2 million, resulting from sales of FYARRO.
• Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $14.6 million as compared to $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
