Insights
Analyzing Zymeworks Inc.'s reported cash resources of $456.3 million, the company appears to have a robust financial position with a cash runway extending into the second half of 2027. This projection is buoyed by anticipated regulatory milestone payments, which are critical in sustaining operations for clinical-stage biotech companies. The initiation of a rolling BLA for zanidatamab indicates a strategic move forward in the regulatory process, potentially enhancing the company's valuation upon approval. Furthermore, the increased enrollment in the HERIZON-GEA-01 trial to improve statistical power for the OS endpoint demonstrates a commitment to solidifying the drug's clinical evidence base, which could positively influence investor confidence and the company's stock performance.
The advancement of zanidatamab, a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, into the rolling BLA phase for biliary tract cancers signifies a pivotal step in the drug's development pathway. The increased patient enrollment for the HERIZON-GEA-01 trial underscores the company's efforts to ensure robust clinical trial outcomes, particularly for overall survival, a key metric for oncology treatments. Additionally, the presentation of favorable data at international conferences, such as durable tumor responses and manageable safety profiles, is indicative of zanidatamab's therapeutic potential. The progression of Zymeworks' R&D programs, including two planned IND submissions, reflects a strategic pipeline expansion that could address unmet medical needs and drive long-term growth.
The strategic research collaboration with Jazz Pharmaceuticals and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, along with the anticipated regulatory submissions in both the US and China, positions Zymeworks well within the global oncology market. The focus on HER2-expressing cancers, a domain with significant competitive interest, suggests potential for market penetration and future revenue streams, contingent upon successful clinical outcomes and regulatory approvals. Moreover, the company's presentation of five abstracts at the AACR Annual Meeting is expected to enhance its scientific credibility and visibility among potential collaborators and investors, potentially influencing market dynamics in the biotech sector.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zymeworks Inc. (Nasdaq: ZYME), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a diverse pipeline of novel, multifunctional biotherapeutics to improve the standard of care for difficult-to-treat diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, and provided a summary of recent business highlights.
“We begin 2024 in a very strong position, with the initiation of the rolling BLA submission for zanidatamab in second-line BTC in the United States, and a projected cash runway to support the development of our expanded portfolio of clinical and preclinical product candidates into the second half of 2027,” said Kenneth Galbraith, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Zymeworks. “We look ahead to a potentially transformative year for Zymeworks; both through potential upcoming regulatory approvals, and more broadly through executing on our development strategy for our early-stage product pipeline of antibody-drug conjugates and multispecific antibodies.”
Galbraith continued, “We remain on track with our goal of completing two IND submissions this year, with multiple data catalysts highlighting the innovation within our pipeline. These IND submissions, along with additional planned submissions over the next two years, provide multiple opportunities for business development and collaborations. We remain committed to executing on our development strategy for our pipeline of unencumbered product candidates, all of which have the potential to improve the standard of care for patients in disease areas with high unmet need, and commercially attractive targets.”
Recent Highlights and Current Developments
Zanidatamab Continues to Advance with Multiple Catalysts
- In November 2023, our partner Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (“Jazz”) and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center announced a five-year strategic research collaboration agreement to evaluate zanidatamab, an investigational human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted bispecific antibody, in multiple HER2-expressing cancers.
- In December 2023, response rates in the HERIZON-BTC-01 Asian subgroup cohort were presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology Asia Conference, highlighting consistency across subgroups with durable tumor responses (overall response rate of
42% [95% CI: 28, 57], median duration of response 7.4 [3.9- Not Estimable] months) and a tolerable safety profile (no patients in the Asia subgroup experienced grade 4 or 5 treatment related adverse events). - In December 2023, progression free survival (PFS) for zanidatamab in combination as chemotherapy-free regime was presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Data from 51 patients with heavily pretreated HER2+/HR+ metastatic breast cancer who were treated with zanidatamab plus palbociclib and fulvestrant demonstrated a PFS at six months of
67% (n=34) [95% CI: 52, 79]. Secondary endpoint findings included a median PFS of 12 months [95% CI: 8, 15] and a confirmed objective response rate of35% [95% CI: 21, 50] with a median duration of response of 15 months. The combination regimen was well tolerated with a manageable safety profile. - In January 2024 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal (GI) Symposium, Patient-Reported Outcomes from HERIZON-BTC-01 demonstrate patients who responded to zanidatamab had less pain and pain interference compared to their baseline levels.
- In January 2024, our partner Jazz highlighted that for the HERIZON-GEA-01 trial, enrollment will be increased from 714 to 918 patients to improve the statistical power, for the OS endpoint only. This update allows Jazz to maintain the previously guided top-line readout, targeted for late 2024, which will continue to be based on the original enrollment numbers. Discussions with FDA and other regulatory agencies were held in advance of the decision to increase enrollment for the OS endpoint analysis. Jazz also announced that the rolling submission of the BLA submission for zanidatamab in second-line BTC has been initiated, with the intention of completing the BLA submission in the first half of 2024.
- In February 2024, our partner Jazz disclosed that they have initiated a Phase 3 confirmatory trial to evaluate zanidatamab as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic BTC.
- In February 2024, our partner BeiGene updated guidance on the expected timing of the BLA filing for zanidatamab with the NMPA for treatment of HER2-amplified inoperable and advanced or metastatic BTC in China during the second half of 2024.
Progression of Research & Development Programs
- In February 2024, we published a manuscript in the American Association for Cancer Research Molecular Cancer Therapeutics Journal on the screening and selection process for our novel topoisomerase-1 inhibitor (“TOPO1i”) payload known as ZD06519. Our novel camptothecin analogue ZD06519 was selected based on its favorable properties as a free molecule and as an antibody conjugate, which include moderate free payload potency (~1 nM), low hydrophobicity, strong bystander activity, robust plasma stability, and high-monomeric antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) content. When conjugated to different antibodies using a clinically validated MC-GGFG-based linker, ZD06519 demonstrated impressive efficacy in multiple CDX models and noteworthy tolerability in healthy mice, rats, and non-human primates.
- Five abstracts accepted for presentation at the AACR Annual Meeting taking place April 5-10 in San Diego, CA. Abstracts accepted include two presentations from our multispecific antibody therapeutics (MSAT) program:
- DLL3 TriTCE Co-Stim: A next generation trispecific T-cell engager with integrated CD28 costimulation for the treatment of DLL3-expressing cancers (Abstract #6716)
- TriTCE Co-Stim: A next generation trispecific T-cell engager platform with integrated CD28 costimulation, engineered to improve responses in the treatment of solid tumors (Abstract #6719)
- ZW191 – a FRα-targeting antibody drug conjugate with strong preclinical activity across multiple FRα-expressing indications (Abstract #1862)
- Screening novel format antibodies to design bispecific ADCs that address target heterogeneity (Abstract #2052)
- Development of three-dimensional cancer cell line spheroid models for the in vitro functional characterization of cytotoxic antibody-drug conjugates (Abstract #3127)
- Zanidatamab zovodotin (ZW49) remains ready for a Phase 2 clinical trial, in combination with pembrolizumab, with the recommended Phase 2 dose of 2.5 mg/kg every three weeks. However, the initiation of the planned Phase 2 study has been deprioritized, pending more clarity from the evolving clinical landscape. We continue to explore potential development and commercial collaborations for zanidatamab zovodotin.
- On track to submit two IND or foreign equivalent submissions for ZW191 and ZW171 in 2024.
“We have significantly accelerated the development timeline for our early stage ‘5 by 5’ programs, with four of the five IND candidates now nominated, the most recent being ZW251, our GPC3 targeting ADC being developed for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas,” stated Paul Moore, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Zymeworks. “We remain on track to accomplish our goal of submitting IND or foreign equivalent submissions in 2024 for both ZW191 and ZW171, in 2025 for ZW220 and ZW251, and to nominate our fifth IND candidate during 2024, with a planned IND filing in 1H 2026. We are also working on the next generation of ADC and MSATs beyond the ‘5 by 5’ portfolio, which we look forward to talking about in more detail later this year.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with GAAP in this press release, Zymeworks is also reporting selected non-GAAP, or adjusted, financial measures, including adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted net loss per share (basic and diluted) and net operating cash burn. These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss, net loss per share or any other indicator of Zymeworks’ performance required to be reported under GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP or adjusted measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our adjusted measures as tools for comparison. Investors and others are encouraged to review Zymeworks’ financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. As defined by Zymeworks, adjusted expenses represent total research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses for equity and liability classified equity instruments as well as expenses incurred in relation to the restructuring program completed in 2022. As defined by Zymeworks, adjusted net loss per share – Basic represents net loss per share – Basic adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses for equity and liability classified equity instruments on a per share basis as well as restructuring expenses incurred in relation to the restructuring program completed in 2022 on a per share basis, and adjusted net loss per share – Diluted represents net loss per share – Diluted adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses for equity and liability classified equity instruments on a per share basis as well as restructuring expenses incurred in relation to the restructuring program implemented in 2022 on a per share basis. As defined by Zymeworks, net operating cash burn represents net operating loss less cash used in the acquisition of property, equipment and intangible assets.
Adjusted expenses and adjusted net loss per share (basic and diluted) are non-GAAP measures that Zymeworks believes may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. Net operating cash burn is a non-GAAP measure that Zymeworks believes has been helpful to investors because it provided information about the cash resources used in funding our operations. As previously announced in our August 2023 earnings release, we are focused on our long-term cash resource plan to fund our operations, and due to available GAAP measures that convey similar information, we intend that the disclosure of our non-GAAP net operating cash burn included in this press release will be our last time reporting this information and will discontinue reporting of our non-GAAP net operating cash burn beginning with our results for the first quarter of 2024.
