NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 9, 2023 -- BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTAI), a biopharmaceutical company utilizing artificial intelligence approaches to develop transformative medicines in neuroscience and immuno-oncology, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2022 and provided an update on key strategic initiatives.

 

“Last year was a transformational period for the Company, highlighted by the launch of our first AI-discovered commercial product, IGALMI, in under four years since initiating human trials. A new treatment option is now available for patients suffering from agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder,” said Vimal Mehta, Ph.D., CEO of BioXcel Therapeutics. “We are building on these achievements in 2023 and look to accelerate our growth through commercial execution of IGALMI. We are also on track for significant data readouts for our overall neuropsychiatric program that has potential to address an estimated 139 million agitation episodes in the U.S.1-3* We have two pivotal study readouts for BXCL501 expected in the second quarter of 2023. Lastly, we plan to advance our lead immuno-oncology program, BXCL701, into a Phase 2b registrational trial, pending further discussion with the FDA, in conjunction with exploring strategic options for our OnkosXcel subsidiary. These upcoming milestones, along with our strong financial foundation and late-stage programs, position BioXcel Therapeutics to deliver significant value to our shareholders while helping treat millions of patients.

Development Pipeline

 

BXCL501, a proprietary, sublingual film formulation of dexmedetomidine, has received Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designation for the acute treatment of agitation associated with dementia.

 

2

 

 

·Alzheimer’s Disease-related Agitation: TRANQUILITY program is designed to evaluate BXCL501 for the acute treatment of Alzheimer’s-related agitation, where up to 100 million agitation episodes are estimated to occur in the U.S. annually.1*

oTRANQUILITY II: Trial is fully enrolled; nearing completion of three-month observation period in a few patients in assisted living facilities (ALFs) and residential settings.

·Data cleaning and verification in progress.

·Top-line data from pivotal trial expected in Q2 2023.

oTRANQUILITY III: Continuing enrollment of patients with moderate to severe dementia in nursing homes.

 

·Bipolar or Schizophrenia-related Agitation (At-Home Use): SERENITY III program is designed to evaluate BXCL501 for use at home, where up to 23 million agitation episodes are estimated to occur in the U.S. annually.1-3*

 

SERENITY III consists of two parts:

 

oPart 1: Assessing the efficacy and safety of 60mcg dose in acutely agitated patients with bipolar I or II disorder or schizophrenia in a supervised setting, similar to SERENITY I and II.

·More than 90% of patients enrolled and complete enrollment is imminent.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

 

Net Revenue: Net revenue was approximately $238,000 for the quarter and $375,000 for the full year 2022, which resulted from early product trials and reflects limited market access. Due to the Company’s direct shipping model to hospitals, wholesaler stocking was neither expected nor occurred.

 

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $32.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2021.

 

R&D expenses were $91.2 million for the full year 2022, compared to $52.7 million for the same period in 2021. The increased expenses for both the fourth quarter and the full year were primarily attributable to an increase in clinical trial costs related to multiple major pivotal BXCL501 clinical programs.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses were $20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2021.

 

SG&A expenses were $68.8 million for the full year 2022, as compared to $54.2 million for 2021. The increased costs for both the fourth quarter and full year were primarily due to personnel and costs related to the launch of IGALMI in the U.S.

 

Net Loss: BioXcel Therapeutics had a net loss of $54.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $26.1 million for the same period in 2021. For the full year, BioXcel Therapeutics reported a net loss of $165.8 million, compared to a net loss of $106.9 million for the same period in 2021. The loss for the year includes approximately $17.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation. Total cash expenditures for 2022 totaled approximately $135.3 million.

 

5

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $193.7 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $233.0 million at December 31, 2021. To date in the first quarter of 2023, the Company utilized its existing at-the-market equity facility and received net proceeds of approximately $24 million.

 

The Company believes that full execution of our strategic financing with Oaktree and Qatar Investment Authority would result in a cash runway into 2025 for the Company.

 

Anticipated Milestones

 

·Clinical Trial Readouts

oTop-line data from pivotal TRANQUILITY II trial in Q2 2023

oTop-line efficacy data from pivotal SERENITY III trial in Q2 2023

oTop-line results from Phase 1b MAD trial for MDD program in Q2 2023

·Clinical Trial Initiations

About IGALMI™ (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film

 

INDICATION

 

IGALMI is indicated for the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults. Limitations of Use: The safety and effectiveness of IGALMI have not been established beyond 24 hours from the first dose.

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

 

IGALMI can cause serious side effects, including:

 

·Decreased blood pressure, low blood pressure upon standing, and slower than normal heart rate, which may be more likely in patients with low blood volume, diabetes, chronic high blood pressure, and older patients. IGALMI is taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider who will monitor vital signs (like blood pressure and heart rate) and alertness after IGALMI is administered to help prevent falling or fainting. Patients should be adequately hydrated and sit or lie down after taking IGALMI and instructed to tell their healthcare provider if they feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint.

 

6

 

 

·Heart rhythm changes (QT interval prolongation). IGALMI should not be given to patients with an abnormal heart rhythm, a history of an irregular heartbeat, slow heart rate, low potassium, low magnesium, or taking other drugs that could affect heart rhythm. Taking IGALMI with a history of abnormal heart rhythm can increase the risk of torsades de pointes and sudden death. Patients should be instructed to tell their healthcare provider immediately if they feel faint or have heart palpitations.

·Sleepiness/drowsiness. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating hazardous machinery, for at least 8 hours after taking IGALMI.

·Withdrawal reactions, tolerance, and decreased response/efficacy. IGALMI was not studied for longer than 24 hours after the first dose. Physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, agitation), and decreased response to IGALMI may occur if IGALMI is used longer than 24 hours.

 

The most common side effects of IGALMI in clinical studies were sleepiness or drowsiness, a prickling or tingling sensation or numbness of the mouth, dizziness, dry mouth, low blood pressure, and low blood pressure upon standing.

 

These are not all the possible side effects of IGALMI. Patients should speak with their healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects.

 

Patients should tell their healthcare provider about their medical history, including if they suffer from any known heart problems, low potassium, low magnesium, low blood pressure, low heart rate, diabetes, high blood pressure, history of fainting, or liver impairment. They should also tell their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or breastfeeding or take any medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Patients should especially tell their healthcare provider if they take any drugs that lower blood pressure, change heart rate, or take anesthetics, sedatives, hypnotics, and opioids.

 

Everyone is encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You can also contact BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. at 1-833-201-1088 or medinfo@bioxceltherapeutics.com.
