Positive
  • Achieved $4.5 million in milestones from Lilly partnership in H1 2024
  • Strong cash position of €96.2 million, providing runway into mid-2026
  • Reduced net loss to €2.7 million in Q2 2024 from €8.0 million in Q2 2023
  • Decreased general and administrative costs to €3.0 million in Q2 2024 from €4.1 million in Q2 2023
  • Potential for additional milestone income and $50 million opt-in payment from Lilly partnership
Negative
  • Increased R&D costs to €7.1 million in Q2 2024 from €5.9 million in Q2 2023
  • Cash and cash equivalents decreased to €96.2 million from €118.9 million at end of 2023

ProQR's Q2 2024 results show a mixed financial picture. The company's cash position of €96.2 million provides runway into mid-2026, which is positive for long-term stability. However, the net loss of €2.7 million for Q2, while improved from €8.0 million last year, indicates ongoing financial challenges. The 20.3% increase in R&D costs to €7.1 million suggests continued investment in pipeline development, which could be promising for future growth. The $4.5 million in milestones from the Lilly partnership is encouraging, but it's important to monitor if this can offset increased R&D expenses. The potential $50 million opt-in payment from Lilly could significantly bolster ProQR's financial position if realized.

ProQR's pipeline progress is noteworthy, with two lead candidates, AX-0810 and AX-1412, advancing to clinical trials in late 2024/early 2025. The in vivo proof of target engagement for AX-0810 in non-human primates is particularly significant, as it demonstrates the potential of their Axiomer™ RNA editing technology. However, it's important to note that these are still early-stage developments. The focus on cholestatic diseases and cardiovascular diseases targets large markets with unmet needs, which could be lucrative if successful. The partnership with Lilly adds credibility to ProQR's platform, but investors should remain cautious until human clinical data is available to truly assess the technology's potential.

ProQR's strategic focus on RNA editing technology positions it in a cutting-edge area of biotechnology. The Axiomer™ platform's potential to address multiple diseases could be a significant advantage. The Lilly partnership validates the technology's promise and provides important financial support. However, the RNA editing field is highly competitive, with several players vying for dominance. ProQR's success will depend on translating preclinical results into clinical efficacy. The company's IP portfolio strength is a key asset, but the timeline to market remains long. Investors should closely monitor upcoming clinical trial initiations and data readouts as critical inflection points for assessing ProQR's long-term potential in this rapidly evolving sector.

  • AX-0810 program targeting NTCP for cholestatic diseases and AX-1412 program targeting B4GALT1 for cardiovascular diseases advancing to the clinic in late 2024/early 2025 with translational data and trial design details to be announced in H2 2024
  • $4.5 million in milestones achieved in H1 related to progress in the Lilly partnership
  • €96.2 million cash position as of end of Q2 providing runway into mid-2026, plus additional potential milestones from Lilly partnership

LEIDEN, Netherlands & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  ProQR Therapeutics NV. (Nasdaq: PRQR) (ProQR), a company dedicated to changing lives through transformative RNA therapies based on its proprietary Axiomer RNA editing technology platform, today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and provided a business update.

About Axiomer

ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA base editing technology called Axiomer, which could potentially yield a new class of medicines for diverse types of diseases. Axiomer “Editing Oligonucleotides”, or EONs, mediate single nucleotide changes to RNA in a highly specific and targeted way using molecular machinery that is present in human cells called ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA). Axiomer EONs are designed to recruit and direct endogenously expressed ADARs to change an Adenosine (A) to an Inosine (I) in the RNA – an Inosine is translated as a Guanosine (G) – correcting an RNA with a disease-causing mutation back to a normal (wild type) RNA, modulating protein expression, or altering a protein so that it will have a new function that helps prevent or treat disease.

About Biliary Atresia (BA) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)

Cholestatic disorders refer to a group of diseases presenting excessive and toxic buildup of bile acids in the liver due to bile ducts dysfunction. This leads to liver damage and a range of debilitating symptoms. Without treatment, liver damage can progress through various stages, ultimately leading to liver failure and elevated risk of liver malignancy, affecting life expectancy. Cholestatic diseases remain leading causes of liver transplantation. There are no approved therapies for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) for adults and biliary atresia (BA) for pediatrics It is estimated that 80,000 and 20,000 individuals have PSC and BA, respectively, in North America and in Europe.

About AX-0810 targeting NTCP

The majority of the bile acids present in the liver cells originate from the enterohepatic reuptake cycle. The key transporter responsible for hepatic uptake of bile acids from portal circulation is the sodium (Na+)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP, SLC10A1 gene) expressed in the liver. AX-0810 is designed to introduce a loss of function variant in SLC10A1 RNA that has been found in human genetics to prevent re-uptake of bile acids in liver via NTCP. Based on its mechanism of action, AX-0810 has the potential to become a disease modifying treatment for PSC and BA primarily among other cholestatic diseases.

About Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of health conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as atherosclerosis which can lead to severe problems like heart attacks, heart failure, and stroke. CVDs represent the leading cause of disability and death in the world. Approximately 18 million people die every year from CVDs representing one third of all the global deaths. Despite available lipid lowering therapies and hypertension medications, the risk of CVDs is still projected to increase rapidly over the coming years.

About AX-1412 targeting B4GALT1

Gene–based analysis of rare beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 (B4GALT1) missense variant (p.Asn352Ser) is known to lead to B4GALT1 protein loss of function and showed an association with decreased coronary artery disease. These beneficial effects are mediated by hypo-galactosylation of the apolipoprotein B100 and fibrinogen, known – independent – drivers of increased risk of CVDs. AX-1412 introduces a protective variant into B4GALT1 RNA to address the remaining residual risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. ProQR intends to advance AX-1412 targeting B4GALT1 to early clinical proof of concept stage, then would seek to partner this program.

About ProQR

ProQR Therapeutics is dedicated to changing lives through the creation of transformative RNA therapies. ProQR is pioneering a next-generation RNA technology called Axiomer, which uses a cell’s own editing machinery called ADAR to make specific single nucleotide edits in RNA to reverse a mutation or modulate protein expression and could potentially yield a new class of medicines for both rare and prevalent diseases with unmet need. Based on our unique proprietary RNA repair platform technologies we are growing our pipeline with patients and loved ones in mind.
