BASEL, Switzerland and LONDON and NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roivant (Nasdaq: ROIV) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, and provided an update on the business.
“This was an incredibly busy quarter with multiple clinical readouts and trial initiations. We reported positive data from the chronic period of the Phase 2b study of RVT-3101 in ulcerative colitis, in addition to positive data from the ADORING 1 trial evaluating VTAMA in patients as young as 2 years old with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. We also initiated two separate trials, the TAHOE Phase 2 study of RVT-3101 in Crohn’s disease and the Phase 1 study of IMVT-1402 in healthy volunteers. We’re incredibly excited about the progress we’ve made in this quarter alone and look forward to announcing additional clinical results in the upcoming months,” said Matt Gline, CEO of Roivant. “On the commercial side, we saw another three months of continued product revenue growth for the company from VTAMA sales.”
Recent Developments
- Telavant: In June 2023, Telavant reported positive data from the chronic period of TUSCANY-2, a large, global Phase 2b study evaluating RVT-3101 for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Outcomes were measured at week 56 for the chronic period (vs. week 14 from the previously reported induction period). At the expected Phase 3 dose in the overall population and in the biomarker positive populations, RVT-3101 treatment produced clinically meaningful efficacy results with improved Clinical Remission, Endoscopic Improvement, and Endoscopic Remission at week 56. In July 2023, Telavant announced the first patient was dosed in the TAHOE study, a global Phase 2 trial of RVT-3101 in patients with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease.
- Immunovant: In August 2023, Immunovant reported that initial data from the Phase 1 clinical trial of IMVT-1402 remains on track for September 2023 (single-ascending dose) and October / November 2023 (multiple-ascending dose).
- Dermavant: For the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, Roivant reported VTAMA net product revenue of
$16.7M , representing a26% gross-to-net yield for the quarter. As of August 2023, nearly 200,000 VTAMA prescriptions have been written by approximately 11,500 unique prescribers for psoriasis, based on IQVIA data. Coverage has been expanded to 129 million US commercial lives and 87 million government lives and includes coverage by all three of the top pharmacy benefit managers. In May 2023, VTAMA met the primary and all secondary endpoints in ADORING 1, the second of two replicate Phase 3 studies in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Importantly, no new safety or tolerability signals were observed in this population, which included children as young as 2 years old. - Priovant: In August 2023, Priovant announced the sixth positive Phase 2 study of oral brepocitinib, out of six conducted, with statistically significant, positive results from the 12-week induction period of Pfizer’s Phase 2 study of brepocitinib in adult patients with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. The primary and key secondary endpoints were met with safety and tolerability generally consistent with prior brepocitinib studies, further validating TYK2/JAK1 inhibition activity in highly inflammatory autoimmune diseases.
- Roivant: Roivant reported its consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of
$1.4B at June 30, 2023, supporting cash runway into the second half of calendar year 2025.
