Positive
  • FILSPARI net product sales grew 37% quarter-over-quarter to $27.1 million
  • Received 521 new patient start forms for FILSPARI, sixth consecutive quarter of growth
  • Total revenue increased to $54.1 million in Q2 2024
  • Strong cash position of $325.4 million as of June 30, 2024
  • European Commission granted conditional marketing authorization for FILSPARI
  • First patient dosed in Japanese Phase 3 trial for FILSPARI in IgAN
Negative
  • Net loss of $70.4 million in Q2 2024, or $0.91 per basic share
  • R&D expenses of $54.3 million in Q2 2024
  • SG&A expenses of $64.8 million in Q2 2024

Travere Therapeutics' Q2 2024 results demonstrate strong momentum in the FILSPARI launch, with net product sales reaching $27.1 million, a 37% increase from the previous quarter. The company received 521 new patient start forms (PSFs) for FILSPARI, marking the sixth consecutive quarter of PSF growth. This performance is particularly significant as Travere approaches the September 5, 2024 PDUFA date for potential full approval of FILSPARI in IgAN.

Total revenue for Q2 2024 was $54.1 million, with net product sales of $52.2 million. The company's cash position remains strong, with $325.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2024. This provides a solid financial foundation for continued growth and development efforts.

On the expense side, R&D costs decreased to $54.3 million from $66.5 million in the same period last year, reflecting the company's restructuring initiatives and the progression of clinical programs. SG&A expenses also decreased slightly to $64.8 million from $68.2 million, indicating improved operational efficiency.

The net loss for Q2 2024 was $70.4 million, or $0.91 per basic share, an improvement from the $85.6 million loss in Q2 2023. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, the net loss was $50.1 million, or $0.65 per basic share, showing progress in financial performance.

Overall, Travere's financial results reflect a company in transition, with growing product revenues balanced against ongoing R&D investments. The success of FILSPARI's launch and potential full approval could be pivotal for the company's future financial trajectory.

Travere Therapeutics' Q2 2024 results highlight significant progress in their clinical programs, particularly for FILSPARI (sparsentan) in IgA Nephropathy (IgAN). The FDA's granting of Priority Review for the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to convert FILSPARI from accelerated to full approval is a important milestone, with a PDUFA target action date of September 5, 2024. This could potentially solidify FILSPARI's position in the IgAN treatment landscape.

The European Commission's conditional marketing authorization for FILSPARI in IgAN patients with significant proteinuria expands the drug's reach. The impending launch in Europe by CSL Vifor could open new revenue streams and benefit more patients globally. Additionally, the initiation of a registrational Phase 3 trial in Japan by partner Renalys Pharma further extends FILSPARI's potential market.

Recent data presentations at major nephrology conferences have strengthened FILSPARI's clinical profile. Key findings include:

  • FILSPARI demonstrated a slower rate of kidney function decline compared to irbesartan
  • Patients treated with FILSPARI over two years showed one of the slowest annual rates of kidney function decline seen in Phase 3 IgAN trials
  • FILSPARI's effectiveness as a first-line treatment in newly diagnosed IgAN patients

For the pegtibatinase program in classical homocystinuria (HCU), the initiation of the pivotal Phase 3 HARMONY Study and the Phase 3b ENSEMBLE Study represent significant steps towards potentially delivering the first disease-modifying therapy for HCU.

These clinical advancements, coupled with the strong commercial performance of FILSPARI, position Travere well in the rare kidney disease space. The anticipated inclusion of FILSPARI in the KDIGO guidelines could further boost its adoption and solidify its place in IgAN treatment protocols.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Travere Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TVTX) today reported its second quarter 2024 financial results and provided a corporate update.

“The second quarter represents our most successful quarter to date for the FILSPARI launch in the U.S. We again achieved new highs in patient start forms and revenue driven by more nephrologists upgrading the standard of care to FILSPARI for their patients. This strong performance is particularly timely as we finalize our preparations to be ready for full approval in IgAN with the upcoming PDUFA target action date next month,” said Eric Dube, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Travere Therapeutics. “Additionally, we are continuing to make progress in bringing FILSPARI to patients globally. Our partner CSL Vifor remains on track to initiate the launch of FILSPARI in Europe shortly, and Renalys Pharma recently dosed the first patient in their registrational trial to support regulatory submissions in Japan. We also continue our work to identify a potential regulatory pathway for sparsentan in FSGS, and we are advancing the Phase 3 program for pegtibatinase with the goal of delivering the first disease modifying therapy for classical homocystinuria.”

Financial Results for Continuing Operations for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

The following financial results discussion compares Travere’s continuing operations. All periods unless otherwise specified have been adjusted to exclude discontinued operations related to the divestiture of the bile acid product portfolio completed on August 31, 2023.

Net product sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $52.2 million, compared to $29.5 million for the same period in 2023. The change is primarily attributable to increased sales from the ongoing commercial launch of FILSPARI.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $54.3 million, compared to $66.5 million for the same period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, R&D expenses were $103.8 million, compared to $124.7 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease is largely attributable to our previously announced restructuring initiatives and a decline in costs associated with the development of sparsentan as our Phase 3 programs advance towards completion. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, R&D expenses were $50.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $59.5 million for the same period in 2023.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $64.8 million, compared to $68.2 million for the same period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, SG&A expenses were $129.0 million, compared to $134.2 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily driven by our restructuring and other cost saving initiatives. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, SG&A expenses were $48.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $49.7 million for the same period in 2023.

Total other expense, net, for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.9 million, compared to total other income, net, of $2.1 million for the same period in 2023. The difference is primarily attributable to a non-cash charge to other expense during the second quarter related to the Renalys Pharma collaboration announced earlier in 2024.

Net loss including discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2024 was $70.4 million, or $0.91 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $85.6 million, or $1.13 per basic share for the same period in 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net loss including discontinued operations was $206.5 million, compared to $172.0 million for the same period in 2023. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, net loss including discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2024 was $50.1 million, or $0.65 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $60.1 million, or $0.79 per basic share for the same period in 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $325.4 million.

Program Updates

FILSPARI® (sparsentan) – IgAN

  • On February 17, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to FILSPARI to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary IgAN at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥1.5 g/g. FILSPARI became commercially available the week of February 27, 2023. Commercial progress in the ongoing launch has resulted in:
    • 521 new patient start forms (PSFs) received in the second quarter of 2024; a total of 2,484 PSFs have been received since the accelerated approval of FILSPARI.
    • Net product sales of $27.1 million during the second quarter, totaling $76.2 million in net product sales since the beginning of the launch.

  • In May 2024 the FDA granted Priority Review of the Company’s supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to convert FILSPARI from accelerated approval to full approval for the treatment of IgAN in the U.S. The FDA assigned a PDUFA target action date of September 5, 2024.

  • In the second quarter, the European Commission granted conditional marketing authorization (CMA) to FILSPARI for the treatment of adults with primary IgAN with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g). The CMA is granted for all member states of the European Union, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The first launch of FILSPARI in Europe by its commercial partner, CSL Vifor, is expected soon. The Company expects to receive a $17.5 million milestone payment from CSL Vifor upon conversion of the CMA to full approval, as well as an additional milestone payment in 2025 upon achievement of market access milestones in certain countries.

  • In July 2024, the Company’s partner Renalys Pharma announced the first patient was dosed in its registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of sparsentan for the treatment of IgAN in Japan. Topline results are expected in the second half of 2025 to support a submission for approval to Japanese regulators.

  • At the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Spring Clinical Meetings and the 61st European Renal Association (ERA) Congress in the second quarter, the Company presented abstracts including data demonstrating:

    • Treatment with FILSPARI resulted in a slower rate of kidney function decline compared to irbesartan, despite irbesartan being associated with a slower rate of kidney function decline than real world standard of care treatment in the RaDaR or NefIgArd studies in IgAN
    • Patients with IgAN treated with FILSPARI over two years had one of the slowest annual rates of kidney function decline seen in Phase 3 clinical trials in IgAN
    • FILSPARI as a first-line treatment in patients newly diagnosed with IgAN was effective in reducing proteinuria and controlling blood pressure

  • In 2024, the Company anticipates inclusion of FILSPARI into the draft Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Glomerular Diseases.

FILSPARI® (sparsentan) – FSGS

  • In 2024, the Company is conducting additional analyses of FSGS data with plans to engage with regulators to evaluate potential regulatory pathways for a sparsentan FSGS indication.

Pegtibatinase (TVT-058) – Classical HCU

  • In December 2023, the Company initiated the pivotal Phase 3 HARMONY Study to support the potential approval of pegtibatinase for the treatment of HCU. The HARMONY Study is a global, randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegtibatinase as a novel treatment to reduce total homocysteine (tHcy) levels. In the beginning of 2024, the first patients were dosed in the HARMONY Study and topline results are expected in 2026.

  • During the second quarter of 2024, the Company initiated the ENSEMBLE Study, a Phase 3b, open-label, long-term extension, that will evaluate the ongoing efficacy and long-term safety of pegtibatinase in participants with HCU following their completion of the Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study or the HARMONY Study. ENSEMBLE includes an optional protein tolerance modification sub-study that will evaluate if eligible participants can increase their natural dietary protein intake and maintain an acceptable level of metabolic control while receiving pegtibatinase.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Travere’s financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding its past financial performance and potential future results. They are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Travere’s management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Travere believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures enhances the ability of investors to compare its results from period to period and allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in making operating decisions.

Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future the Company may exclude other items, or cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded, for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; because of the non-standardized definitions, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by the Company’s competitors and other companies.

As used in this press release, (i) the historical non-GAAP net loss measures exclude from GAAP net loss, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, amortization and depreciation expense, and income tax; (ii) the historical non-GAAP SG&A expense measures exclude from GAAP SG&A expenses, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization and depreciation expense; (iii) the historical non-GAAP R&D expense measures exclude from GAAP R&D expenses, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization and depreciation expense.

About FILSPARI (sparsentan)

FILSPARI (sparsentan) is a once-daily, oral medication designed to selectively target two critical pathways in the disease progression of IgAN (endothelin-1 and angiotensin II) and is the first and only non-immunosuppressive therapy approved for the treatment of this condition. FILSPARI is a prescription medicine indicated to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary IgAN at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a UPCR ≥1.5 g/g.

FILSPARI (sparsentan) U.S. Indication

FILSPARI is an endothelin and angiotensin II receptor antagonist indicated to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a UPCR ≥1.5 g/g.

This indication is granted under accelerated approval based on reduction in proteinuria. It has not been established whether FILSPARI slows kidney function decline in patients with IgAN. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial.

FILSPARI (sparsentan) Important Safety Information

BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY AND EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY

Because of the risks of hepatotoxicity and birth defects, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Under the FILSPARI REMS, prescribers, patients and pharmacies must enroll in the program.

Hepatotoxicity

Some Endothelin Receptor Antagonists (ERAs) have caused elevations of aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. In clinical studies, elevations in aminotransferases (ALT or AST) of at least 3-times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) have been observed in up to 2.5% of FILSPARI-treated patients, including cases confirmed with rechallenge.

Measure transaminases and bilirubin before initiating treatment and monthly for the first 12 months, and then every 3 months during treatment. Interrupt treatment and closely monitor patients who develop aminotransferase elevations more than 3x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN).

FILSPARI should generally be avoided in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3x ULN) at baseline because monitoring for hepatotoxicity may be more difficult and these patients may be at increased risk for serious hepatotoxicity.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

FILSPARI can cause major birth defects if used by pregnant patients based on animal data. Therefore, pregnancy testing is required before the initiation of treatment, during treatment and one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI. Patients who can become pregnant must use effective contraception before the initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI.

Contraindications: FILSPARI is contraindicated in patients who are pregnant. Do not coadminister FILSPARI with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs), or aliskiren.

Warnings and Precautions

Hepatotoxicity:

Hepatotoxicity: Elevations in ALT or AST of at least 3-fold ULN have been observed. To reduce the risk of potential serious hepatotoxicity, measure serum aminotransferase levels and total bilirubin prior to initiation of treatment, monthly for the first 12 months, then every 3 months during treatment.

Advise patients with symptoms suggesting hepatotoxicity (nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain, fatigue, anorexia, jaundice, dark urine, fever, or itching) to immediately stop treatment with FILSPARI and seek medical attention. If aminotransferase levels are abnormal at any time during treatment, interrupt FILSPARI and monitor as recommended.

Consider re-initiation of FILSPARI only when hepatic enzyme levels and bilirubin return to pretreatment values and only in patients who have not experienced clinical symptoms of hepatotoxicity.

Avoid initiation of FILSPARI in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3x ULN) prior to drug initiation.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: FILSPARI can cause fetal harm. Advise patients who can become pregnant of the potential risk to a fetus. Obtain a pregnancy test and advise patients who can become pregnant to use effective contraception prior to, during, and one month after discontinuation of FILSPARI treatment.

FILSPARI REMS: FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the FILSPARI REMS.

Important requirements include:

  • Prescribers must be certified with the FILSPARI REMS by enrolling and completing training.

  • All patients must enroll in the FILSPARI REMS prior to initiating treatment and comply with monitoring requirements.

  • Pharmacies that dispense FILSPARI must be certified with the FILSPARI REMS and must dispense only to patients who are authorized to receive FILSPARI.

Further information is available at www.filsparirems.com or 1-833-513-1325.
