Insights

BridgeBio Pharma's Q2 2024 results reveal significant progress in their pipeline, particularly with their lead candidate acoramidis for ATTR-CM. The company reported $587.2 million in cash and equivalents, a substantial increase from $392.6 million at the end of 2023. This boost was primarily due to $434 million in net proceeds from a term loan and $314.8 million from equity financings.

Revenue for the first half of 2024 surged to $213.3 million, up from $3.5 million in the same period last year. This dramatic increase was largely attributed to $202.9 million from upfront payments and service revenue from licensing agreements with Bayer and Kyowa Kirin.

However, operating expenses also rose significantly to $388.5 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $275.7 million in the previous year. This increase was driven by higher R&D expenses to advance their pipeline and increased SG&A expenses for commercialization readiness.

The net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $108.7 million for the first half of 2024, compared to $298.1 million in the same period last year. This improvement was largely due to the increased revenue and a $126.3 million gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary.

Overall, while BridgeBio is still operating at a loss, the company's financial position has improved significantly, with increased cash reserves and revenue. The focus now shifts to the potential approval and launch of acoramidis, which could be a game-changer for the company's financial outlook.

BridgeBio's Q2 2024 update showcases promising advancements across their pipeline, particularly for their lead candidate acoramidis. The drug demonstrated significant benefits in ATTR-CM patients, including a 42% reduction in composite cardiovascular hospitalization (CVH) and all-cause mortality (ACM) events by Month 30. Importantly, benefits were observed as early as Month 3, suggesting rapid onset of action.

The company also reported positive data for infigratinib in achondroplasia, with a statistically significant +2.50 cm/yr annualized height velocity at Month 18 in the Phase 2 PROPEL 2 study. This was accompanied by the first-ever reported statistically significant improvement in body proportionality, a important outcome for patients.

BridgeBio is advancing multiple late-stage programs, including Phase 3 trials for encaleret in ADH1, BBP-418 in LGMD2I/R9 and infigratinib in achondroplasia. The company has also initiated an observational study for infigratinib in hypochondroplasia, expanding its potential indications.

The breadth and progress of BridgeBio's pipeline, particularly in rare genetic diseases, is impressive. With potential readouts from three Phase 3 programs in 2025, the company is positioned for significant clinical milestones in the near future. The focus on genetic diseases with high unmet needs could lead to transformative therapies for patients and potentially lucrative market opportunities.

BridgeBio's Q2 2024 results and pipeline updates position the company favorably in the competitive landscape of rare disease therapeutics. The standout performer, acoramidis for ATTR-CM, has shown compelling efficacy data that could potentially differentiate it in the market. With a PDUFA date set for November 29, 2024, acoramidis could soon transition from a development-stage asset to a commercial product, marking a significant milestone for BridgeBio.

The company's diversified pipeline, spanning multiple rare genetic diseases, provides a hedge against clinical and regulatory risks. The advancement of three programs to Phase 3 trials (encaleret, BBP-418 and infigratinib) demonstrates the company's ability to progress candidates through the development pipeline efficiently.

Infigratinib's potential in both achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia is particularly noteworthy. The statistically significant improvement in body proportionality could be a key differentiator in the market, potentially addressing an unmet need in skeletal dysplasia treatment.

BridgeBio's focus on genetic diseases aligns with current trends in precision medicine and targeted therapies. The potential for Priority Review Vouchers for multiple programs adds another layer of value, either for accelerating future BridgeBio programs or as assets for potential sale.

While the company is still operating at a loss, the significant increase in revenue and cash reserves provides a stronger financial foundation for upcoming commercial activities and continued R&D efforts. The next 12-18 months will be important for BridgeBio as it transitions towards becoming a commercial-stage company with the potential launch of acoramidis.

Program updates:

  • Acoramidis (AG10) – Transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM):
    • During the 2024 International Symposium of Amyloidosis (ISA), five new analyses were disclosed through oral presentations and posters, discussing the following:
      • Acoramidis treatment resulted in increased serum transthyretin (TTR) levels by Day 28 that were sustained and were correlated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular mortality (CVM), and cardiovascular hospitalization (CVH) in ATTR-CM participants through Month 30.
      • Acoramidis treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the composite endpoint of ACM and CVH in ATTR-CM participants, with benefit evident as early as Month 3.
      • In ATTRibute-CM, participants with at least one CVH had a significantly higher risk of mortality, highlighting the need for ATTR-CM treatments that reduce the risk of CVH.
      • BridgeBio also shared the rationale and design of ACT-EARLY, the acoramidis ATTR amyloidosis prevention trial, which it expects to initiate later this year.
    • At this year’s European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure (ESC-HF) Congress 2024, BridgeBio shared four positive analyses, which included the following data:
      • In a pre-specified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel sensitivity analysis applied to the entire ITT population of the study (N=632), acoramidis significantly reduced ACM (p=0.04), with no safety signals of potential clinical concern.
      • Among ATTRibute-CM participants enrolled with Stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) (N=21), acoramidis treatment was associated with proportionally fewer deaths compared with placebo, with no safety signals of potential clinical concern.
      • At Month 30 of the ATTRibute-CM study, acoramidis treatment resulted in a statistically significant and clinically important reduction in the progressive decline in health-related quality of life as assessed by the EuroQoL Health Outcomes Assessment tool, EQ-5D-5L.
      • Acoramidis treatment also reduced the decline in health status and quality of life as shown by statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefits in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) overall summary score and supported by numerical and consistent benefits in individual KCCQ domains.
      • In ATTRibute-CM, acoramidis significantly improved NT-proBNP indices that can be a signal of ATTR-CM disease progression and be predictive of subsequent mortality risk.
    • During the 2024 American College of Cardiology (ACC), BridgeBio presented cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging evidence consistent with clinical improvement observed in the ATTRibute-CM. The data demonstrate that targeting near-complete TTR stabilization with acoramidis may enable cardiac remodeling and functional recovery in patients with ATTR-CM.
  • Encaleret – Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) inhibitor for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1):
    • CALIBRATE, the Phase 3 clinical trial of encaleret in ADH1, continues to enroll; the Company anticipates sharing topline data from CALIBRATE in 2025.
  • BBP-418 – Glycosylation substrate for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9):
    • BridgeBio has surpassed its interim analysis enrollment target for its Phase 3 FORTIFY study of BBP-418 in individuals living with LGMD2I/R9, with top-line results from the interim analysis expected in 2025.
    • Recent Type C interactions with U.S. FDA focused on the validated glycosylated alpha-dystroglycan (αDG) bioassay and our interim analysis plans reinforce BridgeBio’s belief that there is potential to pursue Accelerated Approval for BBP-418.
    • Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for BBP-418 highlights that LGMD2I/R9 is a rare disease with serious manifestations, which primarily impacts children. If BBP-418 is approved, BridgeBio may qualify for a Priority Review Voucher, which can be applied to another therapy in the Company’s pipeline for a shorter timeline during the review process of a NDA or can be sold to another company looking to receive priority review for one of its applications.
  • Low-dose infigratinib – FGFR1-3 inhibitor for achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia:
    • BridgeBio shared data from Month 12 and 18 for Cohort 5 of PROPEL 2 (0.25 mg/kg/day), its Phase 2 trial in achondroplasia with the oral treatment, infigratinib, with results including:
      • A statistically significant and sustained increase in AHV, with a mean change from baseline of +2.51cm/yr at Month 12, and +2.50 cm/yr at Month 18 (p=0.0015).
      • At Month 18, there was a statistically significant improvement in body proportionality (p-value of 0.001). The mean upper to lower body segment ratio was 1.88 at Month 18, as compared to 2.02 at baseline.
      • Infigratinib continues to be well-tolerated as a single daily oral therapy with no adverse events (AEs) assessed as treatment-related in any participant in Cohort 5.
    • Infigratinib for achondroplasia was granted Fast Track Designation and Rare Pediatric Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA. If infigratinib is approved, BridgeBio may qualify for a Priority Review Voucher.
    • In May 2024, the first participant consented to be part of ACCEL, the observational run-in study for infigratinib in children living with hypochondroplasia.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results:

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Short-term Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term restricted cash, totaled $587.2 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $392.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term restricted cash as of December 31, 2023. The $194.6 million net increase in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term restricted cash was primarily attributable to net proceeds received from the term loan under the credit facility with Blue Owl of $434.0 million, net proceeds received from various equity financings of $314.8 million, proceeds from the sale of investments in equity securities of $63.2 million, and special cash dividends received from investments in equity securities of $25.7 million.
