BOSTON, Nov. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRTK), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel life-saving therapies for life-threatening diseases or other public health threats for civilian, government and military use, today reported financial results and provided an update on corporate activities for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter 2020 NUZYRA Commercial Highlights and Update
- NUZYRA generated
$10.9 million in net revenue in the third quarter of 2020, a35% increase over the prior quarter and a252% increase over the third quarter of 2019. - NUZYRA revenue growth reflects continued commitment to strong execution and NUZYRA’s attributes that address unmet needs in the marketplace despite the reductions in patient traffic to physician offices and institutions of approximately
25% compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. In today’s COVID-19 environment, NUZYRA’s ability to minimize hospital stays with the oral formulation is especially relevant for many prescribers and a potentially meaningful benefit for patients.
Other Recent Highlights
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of the pre-Emergency Use Authorization (pre-EUA) application, which was submitted in February, remains ongoing. As part of the ongoing review, the supplemental mouse pharmacokinetic data requested by FDA are in the final stages of publishing at BARDA and will be submitted to FDA imminently. Based on agency discussions, we believe FDA will complete their review in a timely fashion.
- Seven posters from the NUZYRA clinical and microbiology programs were presented at the IDWeek 2020 virtual meeting in October 2020.
° In a multicenter real-world study evaluating NUZYRA, the authors concluded that NUZYRA was effective and well-tolerated in this small sample for a variety of infections, including pulmonary M. abscessus (11 patients; average treatment duration 6.4 months) and MDR/XDR A. baumannii and Enterobacteriaceae (7 patients; average duration 14 days). These data continue to reinforce the importance of additional studies to expand these encouraging clinical findings.
° Additional data presented also highlighted that the substitution of NUZYRA in place of standard of care, such as quinolones, for the treatment of patients with Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP), has the potential to reduce Clostridioides difficile infection and deliver cost savings in the acute care setting.

Financial Guidance
Paratek now anticipates its full year 2020 total revenue to be at the higher end of the previously communicated range of
- This revenue guidance assumes that the initial BARDA procurement of NUZYRA, valued at approximately
$38 million , will occur by the end of 2020. The FDA review could be completed as early as the end of this year but may slip into the first quarter of 2021. The first procurement is expected soon after completion of the FDA review. Accordingly, revenue from the first procurement will be recognized as early as late 2020 or in the first quarter of 2021. - 2020 R&D and SG&A expenses are now expected to be approximately
$120 million compared to the prior guidance of$135 million , driven by a continued focus on operational efficiencies, and the timing of certain expenses driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, some of which will now occur in 2021. - Based upon our current operating plan, which includes estimated NUZYRA U.S. product revenue, BARDA procurements of NUZYRA for the SNS, and cost reimbursement under the BARDA contract, we anticipate that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of
$149.5 million , as of September 30, 2020, will provide for a cash runway through the end of 2023 with a pathway to cash flow break even. This anticipated pathway assumes the Company will be able to fund all company operating expenses, anticipated capital expenditures, and debt service, including repayment in full of the Hercules Loan and Security Agreement.
Company performance and unanticipated events could cause actual results to vary from this forward-looking guidance.
