CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRPT), the leader in precision genetic medicine for rare diseases, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2021.
“In the first quarter, we obtained FDA approval for and launched our third RNA therapy for Duchenne, AMONDYS 45™ (casimersen). The first AMONDYS 45 patient was treated within the first week of approval. Serving the community with EXONDYS 51, VYONDYS 53, and AMONDYS 45, we achieved net product revenue of
Mr. Ingram continued, “Also in the first quarter we reported positive data from our ongoing study of SRP-9003, our investigational gene therapy for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy Type 2E at the 2021 Muscular Dystrophy Association Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference, reporting robust expression, a good safety profile, good durability to two years, and significantly better functional results than age-matched natural history. For SRP-9001, our investigational gene therapy for Duchenne, we have gained invaluable and proprietary insight from the read out of Part 1 of Study 102 which we have used to refine the protocol of our next trial, Study 301. We remain on track to report data in the second quarter from Study 103 (ENDEAVOR), our open-label study evaluating the performance of our commercially representative SRP-9001 material.”
First Quarter 2021 and Recent Corporate Developments:
- Reported positive clinical results from Phase 2 MOMENTUM study of SRP-5051 in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy amenable to skipping exon 51: These results were from the 30 mg/kg arm of Part A of the MOMENTUM study (Study 5051-201), a global, Phase 2, multi-ascending dose clinical trial of SRP-5051, Sarepta’s next-generation peptide phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PPMO) treatment for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy amenable to skipping exon 51. Strong, dose-dependent exon-skipping and dystrophin expression results with monthly dosing of SRP-5051 were observed in ambulant and non-ambulant Duchenne patients when compared to earlier dosing cohorts in Part A and a control group who received weekly dosing of eteplirsen. Hypomagnesemia was identified in patients taking SRP-5051. Cases have resolved with oral magnesium supplementation and an analysis of all available data indicate that the hypomagnesemia is monitorable and manageable. Part A of MOMENTUM is now complete, and the Company is engaging regulatory agencies to outline next steps for the program. Part B of MOMENTUM is intended to be a pivotal trial supporting an accelerated approval in the United States. The full results will be presented at a future medical meeting.
Results from the 30 mg/kg dose cohort:
- In biopsies taken at week 12, 30 mg/kg of SRP-5051 dosed monthly resulted in mean exon skipping of
10.79% (n=4). Exon skipping was measured by digital drop polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR).- This correlates to a >4x increase in exon skipping compared to the 20 mg/kg cohort of SRP-5051 at 12 weeks (mean exon skipping of
2.57% , n=2) and an 18x increase in exon skipping compared a weekly 30 mg/kg dose of eteplirsen at 24 weeks (mean exon skipping of0.59% , n=16).
- This correlates to a >4x increase in exon skipping compared to the 20 mg/kg cohort of SRP-5051 at 12 weeks (mean exon skipping of
- At week 12, 30 mg/kg of SRP-5051 resulted in mean dystrophin production of
6.55% of normal. Dystrophin expression was measured by western blot.- This is twice the dystrophin expression compared to the 20 mg/kg cohort at week 12 (mean expression of
3.06% ) and eight times that of the eteplirsen comparison group (mean expression of0.82% ).
- This is twice the dystrophin expression compared to the 20 mg/kg cohort at week 12 (mean expression of
- Sarepta’s investigational gene therapy, SRP-9003 being developed for the treatment of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy Type 2E (LGMD2E/R4), showed sustained expression and functional improvements at two years after administration: At the 2021 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference held in March, the Company presented the first expression data from biopsies of participants in Cohort 1 (low-dose cohort) taken two years after a single administration of SRP-9003. The results showed sustained protein expression in muscle tissue. In functional outcomes assessments taken two years following treatment in Cohort 1 and one year after treatment in Cohort 2 (high-dose cohort), patients continued to demonstrate stability in their NSAD (North Star Assessment for Dysferlinopathies) total score and improvements on timed function tests. The results from both cohorts reinforce the safety and tolerability profile of SRP-9003.
Cohort 1 (Dosed at 1.85×1013 vg/kg), 24 months following treatment:
- As measured by western blot, mean beta-SG of
54% at 24 months of normal control, compared to36% measured at Day 60. - Percent immunofluorescent (IF) positive fibers was
48% compared to normal control, compared to51% at Day 60. - Participants showed a mean intensity of
35% of transduced beta-SG, properly localized to the muscle sarcolemma, as measured by IF, compared to47% at Day 60. - The mean NSAD improvement from baseline of 5.7 points at 18 months was sustained through 24 months.
- All three participants demonstrated continued improvements from baseline across all functional measures, including time-to-rise, four-stair climb, 100-meter walk test and 10-meter walk test.
Cohort 2 (Dosed at 7.41×1013 vg/kg), 12 months following treatment:
- At Day 60, the expression of beta-SG (
72% mean positive fibers and73% mean intensity) resulted in increased expression of delta-sarcoglycan, with65% mean positive fibers and103% intensity, and gamma-sarcoglycan,60% mean positive fibers and97% intensity. These results suggest treatment with SRP-9003 demonstrates reconstitution of the dystrophin-associated protein complex, which could lead to improved membrane integrity and thus improved clinical motor outcomes measures. - All three participants demonstrated improvements from baseline across all functional measures, including the NSAD, time-to-rise, four-stair climb, 100-meter walk test and 10-meter walk test.
- The mean NSAD improvement from baseline was 4.0 points at one year, compared to 3.7 at 6 months.
- Presented results from gene therapy and RNA platforms at the 2021 MDA Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference: Sarepta held two symposia and presented four podium presentations and six posters at MDA. In addition to the new two- and one-year data for SRP-9003, the three other podium presentations covered data from Part 1 of Study 9001-102, an ongoing clinical trial of SRP-9001, Sarepta’s investigational gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and pre-clinical approaches to the challenge of pre-existing antibodies. An analysis of time to loss of ambulation in patients taking eteplirsen compared to standard of care was also presented.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP measurements. The non-GAAP loss is defined by the Company as GAAP net loss excluding interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and other items. Non-GAAP research and development expenses are defined by the Company as GAAP research and development expenses excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and other items. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses are defined by the Company as GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses excluding depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense and other items.
1. Interest, tax, depreciation and amortization
Interest expense, net amounts can vary substantially from period to period due to changes in cash and debt balances and interest rates driven by market conditions outside of the Company’s operations. Tax amounts can vary substantially from period to period due to tax adjustments that are not directly related to underlying operating performance. Depreciation expense can vary substantially from period to period as the purchases of property and equipment may vary significantly from period to period and without any direct correlation to the Company’s operating performance. Amortization expense primarily associated with in-licensed rights as well as patent costs are amortized over a period of several years after acquisition or patent application or renewal and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management.
2. Stock-based compensation expenses
Stock-based compensation expenses represent non-cash charges related to equity awards granted by the Company. Although these are recurring charges to operations, the Company believes the measurement of these amounts can vary substantially from period to period and depend significantly on factors that are not a direct consequence of operating performance that is within the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company believes that excluding these charges facilitates comparisons of the Company’s operational performance in different periods.
3. Other items
The Company evaluates other items of expense and income on an individual basis. It takes into consideration quantitative and qualitative characteristics of each item, including (a) nature, (b) whether the items relate to the Company’s ongoing business operations, and (c) whether the Company expects the items to continue on a regular basis. These other items include collaboration revenue and transaction cost related to the Roche transaction, up-front and milestone payments, acquired in-process research and development expense, gain from sale of PRV and loss on contingent consideration.
The Company excludes collaboration revenue and transaction cost associated with the Roche transaction from its non-GAAP results. While collaboration revenue is recurring, as the Company’s ordinary activities do not include contracting with third parties to provide them with research and development services, collaboration revenue is treated as a non-GAAP adjustment item. Additionally, the transaction fee related to the Roche transaction is non-recurring and is excluded from its non-GAAP results. However, the Company does not exclude reimbursement of costs by Roche from its non-GAAP results.
The Company excludes up-front and milestone payments associated with its license and collaboration agreements from its non-GAAP results and research and development expenses because the Company does not consider them to be normal operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts, and lack of predictability as to occurrence and/or timing. Up-front payments are made at the commencement of a collaborative relationship or a license agreement anticipated to continue for a multi-year period and provide the Company with intellectual property rights, option rights and other rights with respect to particular programs. Milestone payments are made when certain development, regulatory and sales milestone events are achieved. The variability of amounts and lack of predictability of collaboration- and license-related up-front and milestone payment makes the identification of trends in the Company’s ongoing research and development activities more difficult.
The sale of the PRV obtained as a result of the FDA approval of VYONDYS 53 in December 2019 is a non-recurring event and excluded from the Company’s non-GAAP results.
The Company excludes from its non-GAAP results loss on contingent consideration related to the Company’s acquisition of Myonexus in 2019 as it is a non-cash item and is not considered to be normal operating expenses due to its variability of amounts and lack of predictability as to occurrence and/or timing.
The Company uses these non-GAAP measures as key performance measures for the purpose of evaluating operational performance and cash requirements internally. The Company also believes these non-GAAP measures increase comparability of period-to-period results and are useful to investors as they provide a similar basis for evaluating the Company’s performance as is applied by management. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or to replace the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Use of the terms non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP other income and loss adjustments, non-GAAP income tax (benefit) expense, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share may differ from similar measures reported by other companies, which may limit comparability, and are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. All relevant non-GAAP measures are reconciled from their respective GAAP measures in the attached table "Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
About EXONDYS 51
EXONDYS 51 uses Sarepta’s proprietary phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) chemistry and exon-skipping technology to bind to exon 51 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, resulting in “skipping” of this exon during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to exon 51 skipping. Exon skipping is intended to allow for production of an internally truncated dystrophin protein.
EXONDYS 51 is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in some patients treated with EXONDYS 51. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
EXONDYS 51 has met the full statutory standards for safety and effectiveness and as such is not considered investigational or experimental.
Important Safety Information About EXONDYS 51
Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash and urticaria, pyrexia, flushing, cough, dyspnea, bronchospasm, and hypotension, have occurred in patients who were treated with EXONDYS 51. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate medical treatment and consider slowing the infusion or interrupting the EXONDYS 51 therapy.
Adverse reactions in DMD patients (N=8) treated with EXONDYS 51 30 mg or 50 mg/kg/week by intravenous (IV) infusion with an incidence of at least
In the 88 patients who received ≥30 mg/kg/week of EXONDYS 51 for up to 208 weeks in clinical studies, the following events were reported in ≥

About VYONDYS 53
VYONDYS 53 uses Sarepta’s proprietary phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) chemistry and exon-skipping technology to bind to exon 53 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, resulting in exclusion, or “skipping,” of this exon during mRNA processing in patients with genetic mutations that are amenable to exon 53 skipping. Exon skipping is intended to allow for production of an internally truncated dystrophin protein.
VYONDYS 53 is indicated for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in patients who have a confirmed mutation of the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on an increase in dystrophin production in skeletal muscle observed in patients treated with VYONDYS 53. Continued approval may be contingent upon verification of a clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
VYONDYS 53 has met the full statutory standards for safety and effectiveness and as such is not considered investigational or experimental.
Important Safety Information for VYONDYS 53
Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, pyrexia, pruritus, urticaria, dermatitis, and skin exfoliation have occurred in VYONDYS 53-treated patients, some requiring treatment. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate medical treatment and consider slowing the infusion or interrupting the VYONDYS 53 therapy.
Kidney toxicity was observed in animals who received golodirsen. Although kidney toxicity was not observed in the clinical studies with VYONDYS 53, the clinical experience with VYONDYS 53 is limited, and kidney toxicity, including potentially fatal glomerulonephritis, has been observed after administration of some antisense oligonucleotides. Kidney function should be monitored in patients taking VYONDYS 53. Because of the effect of reduced skeletal muscle mass on creatinine measurements, creatinine may not be a reliable measure of kidney function in DMD patients. Serum cystatin C, urine dipstick, and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio should be measured before starting VYONDYS 53. Consider also measuring glomerular filtration rate using an exogenous filtration marker before starting VYONDYS 53. During treatment, monitor urine dipstick every month, and serum cystatin C and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio every three months. Only urine expected to be free of excreted VYONDYS 53 should be used for monitoring of urine protein. Urine obtained on the day of VYONDYS 53 infusion prior to the infusion, or urine obtained at least 48 hours after the most recent infusion, may be used. Alternatively, use a laboratory test that does not use the reagent pyrogallol red, as this reagent has the potential to cross react with any VYONDYS 53 that is excreted in the urine and thus lead to a false positive result for urine protein.
If a persistent increase in serum cystatin C or proteinuria is detected, refer to a pediatric nephrologist for further evaluation.
