TEL AVIV, Israel and RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RedHill Biopharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDHL) (“RedHill” or the “Company”), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, today reported its financial results and operational highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Dror Ben-Asher, RedHill’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Despite the challenging pandemic environment, we have shown the strength of our commercial organization. Our extensive promotional efforts for Talicia delivered 300% quarter-over-quarter prescription growth, as well as rapid expansion of the prescriber base alongside national payor coverage for 167 million Americans. Movantik prescriptions grew for a second consecutive quarter - reversing the trend of prescription decline prior to its acquisition by RedHill.” Mr. Ben-Asher continued: “Our global Phase 2/3 and U.S. Phase 2 studies with opaganib for COVID-19 are quickly approaching completion and are supplemented by data demonstrating opaganib’s complete inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 viral replication. We have also initiated manufacturing ramp-up in preparation for potential emergency use applications for opaganib in the first quarter of 2021. We are initiating the Phase 3 study of RHB-204 as an oral first-line therapy for pulmonary NTM infections, a disease with a significant unmet need and no FDA-approved first-line treatment.”

Micha Ben Chorin, Chief Financial Officer at RedHill, added: “This has been another positive quarter for the Company. We have significantly increased gross profit from 32% in the second quarter to 51% thanks to our new agreement with Daiichi Sankyo Inc. We expect the trend of increasing Movantik prescriptions to continue. We are pleased with the successful transition of Movantik from AstraZeneca and expect savings in operating expenses, as well as higher distribution service agreement fees to apply. We continue to effectively manage our cash position and continue to work toward operational break-even next year.”

Financial highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020¹

Net Revenues of $20.9 million, continuing at a similar level to that in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in gross revenues, as well as in the number of scripts for Talicia and Movantik, were partially offset by the voluntary discontinuation of our legacy products.

Cost of Revenues of $10.3 million, compared to $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was attributable to the reduced royalty rate payable to Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. for Movantik following the new agreement between the companies.

Gross Profit of $10.6 million, compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2020. Gross profit of 51%, up from 32% in the second quarter, is attributable to the lower royalties payable.

Research and Development Expenses were $4.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the progression of the opaganib COVID-19 studies and to initiation activities for the Phase 3 study with RHB-204 for NTM infections.

Selling, Marketing and Business Development Expenses were $13.4 million, compared to $10 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of commercialization activities related to Talicia and Movantik, as well as to the payment received in the second quarter under the U.S. Small Business Administration Payroll Protection Program (PPP) which was recorded as a reduction in expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses were $7.3 million, compared to $6 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the payment received in the second quarter under the PPP which was recorded as a reduction from expenses.

Operating Loss was $14.5 million, compared to $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of commercialization activities related to Talicia and Movantik and investment in the studies with opaganib and RHB-204, partially offset by the increase in gross profit, as described above.

Net Loss was $18.6 million, compared to $16 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in operating loss, as detailed above, and the increase in financing expenses due to the financial liability related to the new agreement with Daiichi Sankyo.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $9.2 million, compared to $15 million in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to positive changes in working capital.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities was $12 million, compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in proceeds from the Company’s “at-the-market” (ATM) facility and a reduction in restricted cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Balance² as of September 30, 2020, was $50.9 million, compared to $53.1 million as of June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the net cash used in operating activities, as detailed above, partially offset by proceeds of $9.1 million from the Company’s ATM in the third quarter of 2020.

Subsequent to September 30, 2020, and through November 11, 2020, 240,614 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) of the Company were issued under the Company’s ATM facility, generating additional net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million.

Commercial Highlights:

Movantik^® (naloxegol)³
The Company has completed the transition of Movantik from AstraZeneca and achieved two consecutive full quarters of RedHill-led prescription. Additionally, the Company has targeted a larger prescriber base that has driven a 2.1% increase in unique prescribers of Movantik. This growth reverses a steady decline in prescriptions prior to RedHill acquiring the rights to Movantik, representing a shift in the trend and pointing to both a successful transition by RedHill and the prospects for continuing growth for Movantik.

RedHill acquired the global rights to Movantik from AstraZeneca, excluding Europe and Canada, and has, this quarter, replaced a co-commercialization agreement with Daiichi Sankyo (assigned under the agreement with AstraZeneca), with a new royalty-bearing agreement that resulted in RedHill assuming full control over brand strategy and commercialization activities for Movantik in the U.S. and increasing gross margin.

Talicia^® (omeprazole magnesium, amoxicillin and rifabutin)⁴
Since RedHill launched Talicia in the U.S. in March 2020, the Company has focused its efforts on the groundwork needed for ongoing and rapid growth, including expansion of the prescriber base. This has resulted in a 300% quarter-on-quarter increase in Talicia prescriptions. This growth is supported by major additions of Talicia as a preferred brand on leading national formularies - achieving coverage for 167 million lives in the commercial and governmental segments. Further formulary additions are expected in the near future, in addition to the previously announced listings of Talicia on the national formularies of Prime Therapeutics, EnvisionRx, and Express Scripts.

R&D Highlights

COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Program: Opaganib (ABC294640, Yeliva^®)⁵
Following encouraging compassionate use results published⁶ last quarter, the late-stage development program for opaganib in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia has progressed rapidly. The Company is currently enrolling patients in two randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm, placebo-controlled studies with opaganib in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia requiring hospitalization and treatment with supplemental oxygen:

• Enrollment in the U.S. Phase 2 study (NCT04414618) is over 90% complete and top-line data is expected before the end of this year, subject to recruitment completion. The study has passed two pre-scheduled safety reviews by an independent Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) with unanimous recommendations to continue the study without change.
  
  
• A global Phase 2/3 study (NCT04467840) is advancing rapidly and is approaching 50% enrollment. Approved in six countries and active across 20 clinical sites to date, the study is on track to enroll up to 270 patients.
  
  
• The studies are intended to support potential emergency use applications as early as the first quarter of 2021, subject to positive results.
  

On September 8, 2020, RedHill announced that opaganib demonstrated potent inhibition of SARS-CoV-2, achieving complete blockage of viral replication, as measured after three days incubation, in an in vitro model of human bronchial tissue, comparing favorably with remdesivir, the positive control in the study. Furthermore, treatment of cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 with opaganib did not compromise cell membrane integrity, a measure of cell viability and drug safety, further demonstrating opaganib’s promising potential for treating patients with COVID-19.

The Company also entered into collaborations with European and Canadian suppliers for large-scale ramp-up of opaganib manufacturing in preparation for potential emergency use authorizations, further strengthening manufacturing capabilities and capacity for opaganib. RedHill continues to expand manufacturing capacity with additional supply agreements expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.

The Company continues its discussions with U.S. and other government agencies and non-governmental organizations around potential funding to support the rapid advancement of opaganib toward potential emergency use applications and manufacturing scale-up. In September 2020, opaganib was awarded a grant from Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 Vaccines, Treatments and Therapies Program, which supports the rapid advancement of promising novel COVID-19 therapies.
   
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Program: RHB-107 (upamostat)⁷
In recently released in vitro results, RedHill’s second COVID-19 drug candidate, RHB-107, a novel, orally-administered serine protease inhibitor, strongly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 viral replication. The Company has submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA for a U.S. Phase 2/3 study with RHB-107 in moderate COVID-19 patients treated in an outpatient setting, a different population to opaganib which is being evaluated in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease. The study is planned to be initiated early in 2021.

RHB-204 - Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) Infections
RedHill announced in July 2020 that the U.S. FDA had cleared its IND application for a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RHB-204 in adults with pulmonary NTM disease caused by Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) infection. RedHill is currently initiating the Phase 3 study of RHB-204 in the U.S. The study aims to enroll 125 patients in up to 40 sites across the U.S.

The Company recently announced that RHB-204 had been granted FDA Orphan Drug Designation. This, along with RHB-204’s previously granted QIDP designation, extends U.S. market exclusivity for RHB-204 to a potential total of 12 years upon FDA approval.

Opaganib - Cholangiocarcinoma and prostate cancer
The Phase 2a study evaluating the activity of opaganib in advanced cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) is ongoing. Enrollment has been completed for the first cohort of 39 patients, evaluating the activity of orally-administered opaganib as a stand-alone treatment. Preliminary data from this cohort indicated a signal of activity in a number of subjects with advanced cholangiocarcinoma, and in light of these data, input from key opinion leaders and preclinical research that had been conducted at Mayo Clinic, RedHill initiated enrollment for a second cohort, evaluating opaganib in combination with hydroxychloroquine, an anti-autophagy agent.

In light of preclinical findings demonstrating that treatment with opaganib and RHB-107 (upamostat, WX-671) in combination resulted in tumor regression, RedHill plans to add an additional cohort to the ongoing Phase 2a study, evaluating opaganib in combination with RHB-107, subject to discussions with the FDA.

RedHill recently announced that it had received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a new patent application related to the use of opaganib and RHB-107 for the treatment of solid tumor cancers. The patent is expected to extend IP protection for the combination until 2036.

An additional Phase 2 study with opaganib in prostate cancer is ongoing at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). The study is supported by a National Cancer Institute grant awarded to MUSC with additional support from RedHill.

Exclusive Licensing and Manufacturing Agreement with Cosmo Pharmaceuticals
RedHill announced in August 2020 that it had entered into a binding term sheet with Cosmo Pharmaceuticals N.V. (SIX: COPN) (Cosmo) for an exclusive licensing and manufacturing agreement for multiple products.

COVID-19 Impact Update

RedHill’s primary concern during the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be the safety and protection of its employees, patients, colleagues, and the communities to which we belong.

Operationally, the actions the Company took to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to serve us well, with minimal effect on our ongoing operational and supply chain activities. Promotional activity has now been largely re-instated where safe to do so, and in adherence to social distancing and other public health guidelines. RedHill will continue to assess the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business and operations.
