Business Update

• In the fourth quarter of 2022, a total of 2,417 bottles of TAVALISSE were sold in the U.S., 2,196 of which were shipped directly to patients and clinics, representing the highest number of daily bottles shipped to patients and clinics in a quarter since launch. For the full year ended December 31, 2022, 8,112 bottles of TAVALISSE were shipped directly to patients and clinics, representing an increase of 20% compared to 2021.
• On December 1, 2022, REZLIDHIA was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with R/R AML with a susceptible IDH1 mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test. From December 22, 2022, when REZLIDHIA became commercially available in the U.S., to December 31, 2022, a total of 64 bottles of REZLIDHIA were sold in the U.S. to fill initial orders from our distributors, 2 of which were shipped to patients and clinics.
• REZLIDHIA was added by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network^® (NCCN^®) to the latest NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines^®) for AML in January 2023. REZLIDHIA is included as a recommended targeted therapy for adult patients with R/R AML with IDH1 mutation.
• Rigel announced a peer-reviewed publication of data in Blood Advances in February 2023, which summarizes clinical results from the Phase 2 registrational trial of REZLIDHIA in patients with mIDH1 R/R AML. The published data demonstrate that REZLIDHIA induced durable remissions and transfusion independence with a well-characterized safety profile.
• In December 2022, Rigel's partner Kissei announced Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) approval of TAVALISSE for the treatment of chronic ITP. During the fourth quarter, Rigel recognized a $20.0 million regulatory milestone earned from Kissei in connection with the approval. The payment was received during the first quarter of 2023.
• Rigel continues to advance the open-label, Phase 1b clinical trial of R289¹, an investigational, potent, and selective IRAK1/4 inhibitor, in patients with lower-risk myeloid dysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS) who are refractory/resistant to prior therapies. The first patients have been dosed and enrollment is underway.
• R552, an investigational, potent, and selective RIPK1 inhibitor, is being advanced by Rigel's partner Eli Lilly (Lilly). The initial Phase 2a trial in approximately 100 patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is anticipated to begin in the first half of 2023 and will involve global recruitment. The Phase 2a trial analysis is expected by the end of 2024.
• Data was published in Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, which summarizes the results of an investigational Phase 1 clinical trial of fostamatinib, Rigel's oral spleen tyrosine kinase, for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD). Highlights included a promising overall response rate of 77% for fostamatinib in steroid-refractory cGvHD patients with 70% of responses lasting >1 year and a manageable safety profile in the post-transplant setting.

Financial Update

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Rigel reported a net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $22.6 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of 2021.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, total revenues were $51.3 million, consisting of $21.9 million in TAVALISSE net product sales, $0.9 million in REZLIDHIA net product sales, $26.5 million in contract revenues from collaborations and $2.0 million in government contract revenue. TAVALISSE net product sales of $21.9 million represents an increase of 25% from $17.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Following the approval of REZLIDHIA in December 2022, Rigel initiated the commercialization of REZLIDHIA in the U.S. and recognized net product sales of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Contract revenues from collaborations for the fourth quarter of 2022 consisted of $20.0 million in revenue from Kissei related to a milestone payment earned upon Japan's PMDA approval of TAVALISSE for the treatment of chronic ITP, $5.7 million in non-cash revenue from the collaboration agreement with Medison Pharma Trading AG (Medison), $0.6 million in royalty revenue from Grifols S.A. (Grifols), and $0.2 million in revenue related to its license agreement with Lilly. Government contract revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was related to the income recognized pursuant to the agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to support Rigel's ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial of fostamatinib in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, total costs and expenses were $49.2 million, compared to $41.8 million for the same period of 2021. The increase in costs and expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs and commercial expenses, and higher research and development costs related to the IRAK 1/4 inhibitor program. These increases were partially offset by decreased research and development costs related to the Phase 3 clinical trial for wAIHA and the Phase 3 clinical trial in high-risk hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

For the full year 2022, Rigel reported a net loss of $58.6 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17.9 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, for the same period of 2021.

For the full year 2022, total revenues were $120.2 million, consisting of $75.8 million in TAVALISSE net product sales, $0.9 million in REZLIDHIA net product sales, $39.0 million in contract revenues from collaborations and $4.5 million in government contract revenue. TAVALISSE net product sales of $75.8 million increased by 20% compared to $63.0 million in the same period of 2021. REZLIDHIA net product sales were related to shipments of products to customers following the FDA approval after commercial launch in December 2022. Contract revenues from collaborations for the full year 2022 consisted of $27.6 million in revenue from Kissei primarily related to milestones earned and delivery of fostamatinib supply, $5.7 million in non-cash revenue from the collaboration agreement with Medison, $3.0 million in revenue from Grifols related to the delivery of fostamatinib supply, performance of certain research and development services pursuant to the collaboration agreement and royalty revenue, $2.0 million in revenue related to the license agreement with Knight, and $0.7 million in revenue related to the license agreement with Lilly. Government contract revenue for the full year 2022 was related to the income recognized pursuant to the agreement with DOD.

For the full year 2022, total costs and expenses were $175.8 million, compared to $161.7 million for the same period of 2021. The increase in costs and expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs and commercial expenses, and higher research and development costs related to the IRAK 1/4 inhibitor program. These increases were partially offset by decreased research and development costs related to the Phase 3 clinical trial for wAIHA and Phase 3 clinical trial in high-risk hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

As of December 31, 2022, Rigel had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $58.2 million, compared to $125.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

About ITP
In patients with ITP (immune thrombocytopenia), the immune system attacks and destroys the body's own blood platelets, which play an active role in blood clotting and healing. Common symptoms of ITP are excessive bruising and bleeding. People suffering with chronic ITP may live with an increased risk of severe bleeding events that can result in serious medical complications or even death. Current therapies for ITP include steroids, blood platelet production boosters (TPO-RAs), and splenectomy. However, not all patients respond to existing therapies. As a result, there remains a significant medical need for additional treatment options for patients with ITP.

About AML
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects myeloid cells, which normally develop into various types of mature blood cells. AML occurs primarily in adults and accounts for about 1 percent of all adult cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that in the United States alone, there will be about 20,380 new cases, most in adults, in 2023.²

Relapsed AML affects about half of all patients who, following treatment and remission, experience a return of leukemia cells in the bone marrow.³ Refractory AML, which affects between 10 and 40 percent of newly diagnosed patients, occurs when a patient fails to achieve remission even after intensive treatment.⁴ Quality of life declines for patients with each successive line of treatment for AML, and well-tolerated treatments in relapsed or refractory disease remain an unmet need.

About TAVALISSE^®

Indication
TAVALISSE (fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate) tablets is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment.

Important Safety Information

Warnings and Precautions

• Hypertension can occur with TAVALISSE treatment. Patients with pre-existing hypertension may be more susceptible to the hypertensive effects. Monitor blood pressure every 2 weeks until stable, then monthly, and adjust or initiate antihypertensive therapy for blood pressure control maintenance during therapy. If increased blood pressure persists, TAVALISSE interruption, reduction, or discontinuation may be required.
• Elevated liver function tests (LFTs), mainly ALT and AST, can occur with TAVALISSE. Monitor LFTs monthly during treatment. If ALT or AST increase to ≥3 x upper limit of normal, manage hepatotoxicity using TAVALISSE interruption, reduction, or discontinuation.
• Diarrhea occurred in 31% of patients and severe diarrhea occurred in 1% of patients treated with TAVALISSE. Monitor patients for the development of diarrhea and manage using supportive care measures early after the onset of symptoms. If diarrhea becomes severe (≥Grade 3), interrupt, reduce dose or discontinue TAVALISSE.
• Neutropenia occurred in 6% of patients treated with TAVALISSE; febrile neutropenia occurred in 1% of patients. Monitor the ANC monthly and for infection during treatment. Manage toxicity with TAVALISSE interruption, reduction, or discontinuation.
• TAVALISSE can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Advise pregnant women the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose. Verify pregnancy status prior to initiating TAVALISSE. It is unknown if TAVALISSE or its metabolite is present in human milk. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during TAVALISSE treatment and for at least 1 month after the last dose.

Drug Interactions

• Concomitant use of TAVALISSE with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increases exposure to the major active metabolite of TAVALISSE (R406), which may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Monitor for toxicities that may require a reduction in TAVALISSE dose.
• It is not recommended to use TAVALISSE with strong CYP3A4 inducers, as concomitant use reduces exposure to R406.
• Concomitant use of TAVALISSE may increase concentrations of some CYP3A4 substrate drugs and may require a dose reduction of the CYP3A4 substrate drug.
• Concomitant use of TAVALISSE may increase concentrations of BCRP substrate drugs (eg, rosuvastatin) and P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate drugs (eg, digoxin), which may require a dose reduction of the BCRP and P-gp substrate drug.

Adverse Reactions

• Serious adverse drug reactions in the ITP double-blind studies were febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, pneumonia, and hypertensive crisis, which occurred in 1% of TAVALISSE patients. In addition, severe adverse reactions occurred including dyspnea and hypertension (both 2%), neutropenia, arthralgia, chest pain, diarrhea, dizziness, nephrolithiasis, pain in extremity, toothache, syncope, and hypoxia (all 1%).
• Common adverse reactions (≥5% and more common than placebo) from FIT-1 and FIT-2 included: diarrhea, hypertension, nausea, dizziness, ALT and AST increased, respiratory infection, rash, abdominal pain, fatigue, chest pain, and neutropenia.

About REZLIDHIA^™

INDICATION
REZLIDHIA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME Differentiation syndrome, which can be fatal, can occur with REZLIDHIA treatment. Symptoms may include dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, hypotension, fever, and weight gain. If differentiation syndrome is suspected, withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate treatment with corticosteroids and hemodynamic monitoring until symptom resolution.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Differentiation Syndrome
REZLIDHIA can cause differentiation syndrome. In the clinical trial of REZLIDHIA in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, differentiation syndrome occurred in 16% of patients, with grade 3 or 4 differentiation syndrome occurring in 8% of patients treated, and fatalities in 1% of patients. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with REZLIDHIA included leukocytosis, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, fever, edema, pyrexia, and weight gain. Of the 25 patients who experienced differentiation syndrome, 19 (76%) recovered after treatment or after dose interruption of REZLIDHIA. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 18 months after REZLIDHIA initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis.

If differentiation syndrome is suspected, temporarily withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms.  If concomitant leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as clinically indicated. Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea after resolution of symptoms. Differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroids and/or hydroxyurea treatment. Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement; withhold dose of REZLIDHIA and consider dose reduction based on recurrence.

Hepatotoxicity
REZLIDHIA can cause hepatotoxicity, presenting as increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased blood alkaline phosphatase, and/or elevated bilirubin. Of 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who received REZLIDHIA, hepatotoxicity occurred in 23% of patients; 13% experienced grade 3 or 4 hepatotoxicity. One patient treated with REZLIDHIA in combination with azacitidine in the clinical trial, a combination for which REZLIDHIA is not indicated, died from complications of drug-induced liver injury. The median time to onset of hepatotoxicity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with REZLIDHIA was 1.2 months (range: 1 day to 17.5 months) after REZLIDHIA initiation, and the median time to resolution was 12 days (range: 1 day to 17 months). The most common hepatotoxicities were elevations of ALT, AST, blood alkaline phosphatase, and blood bilirubin.

Monitor patients frequently for clinical symptoms of hepatic dysfunction such as fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. Obtain baseline liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months, once every other week for the third month, once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. If hepatic dysfunction occurs, withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue REZLIDHIA based on recurrence/severity.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were aspartate aminotransferase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, potassium decreased, sodium decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, nausea, creatinine increased, fatigue/malaise, arthralgia, constipation, lymphocytes increased, bilirubin increased, leukocytosis, uric acid increased, dyspnea, pyrexia, rash, lipase increased, mucositis, diarrhea and transaminitis.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers.
• Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with sensitive CYP3A substrates unless otherwise instructed in the substrates prescribing information. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients for loss of therapeutic effect of these drugs.

LACTATION
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with REZLIDHIA and for 2 weeks after the last dose.

GERIATRIC USE
No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients 65 years and older and younger patients. Compared to patients younger than 65 years of age, an increase in incidence of hepatotoxicity and hypertension was observed in patients ≥65 years of age.

HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT
In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, closely monitor for increased probability of differentiation syndrome.
