Fortress Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBIO) (“Fortress”), an innovative
biopharmaceutical company focused on efficiently acquiring,
developing and commercializing or monetizing promising therapeutic
products and product candidates, today announced financial results
and recent corporate highlights for the first quarter ended March
31, 2023.
Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D., Fortress’ Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fortress and our
subsidiaries and partner companies continued advancing our
promising clinical-stage drug candidates for a wide range of
diseases during the first quarter of 2023. We expect data updates
from multiple clinical programs in the coming months, including
Phase 3 topline results for DFD-29 to treat papulopustular rosacea
(“PPR”) in June of 2023. We also expect to report dose escalation
and response data for MB-106, a CD20-targeted, autologous CAR T
cell therapy to treat relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin
lymphomas (“B-NHL”) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”),
throughout the year. Dotinurad for the treatment of gout and
Triplex for the treatment of cytomegalovirus continue to advance in
clinical trials and we anticipate a dotinurad Phase 1 topline data
readout in U.S. healthy volunteers in the second quarter of this
year.”
Dr. Rosenwald continued, “On the regulatory
front, we expect the rolling New Drug Application (“NDA”)
submission for CUTX-101 to treat Menkes disease to be complete by
the end of 2023. We also anticipate filing an NDA for DFD-29 in the
second half of 2023 and look forward to the January 3, 2024,
Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) goal date for cosibelimab
to treat patients with metastatic or locally advanced cutaneous
squamous cell carcinoma (“cSCC”). Overall, it is an exciting time
for Fortress as we advance potential treatments for patients in
need while focusing on increasing shareholder value.”
Recent Corporate
Highlights1:
Cosibelimab (Anti PD-L1
antibody)
- Our partner company, Checkpoint
Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CKPT) (“Checkpoint”), submitted a
Biologics License Application (“BLA”) to the FDA for cosibelimab,
its investigational anti-PD-L1 antibody, as a treatment for
patients with metastatic or locally advanced cSCC who are not
candidates for curative surgery or radiation, in January 2023. In
March 2023, the FDA accepted the BLA filing for cosibelimab and set
a PDUFA goal date of January 3, 2024. In its BLA filing acceptance
letter, the FDA indicated that no potential filing review issues
have been identified, and that an advisory committee meeting to
discuss the application is not currently planned. According to U.S.
prescription claims data, in 2021, approximately 11,000 cSCC
patients were treated with systemic therapies. As PD-1 inhibitors
comprised less than half of patient prescriptions, cSCC remains a
disease with a need for more effective and tolerable treatment
options, particularly for the significant number of cSCC patients
with immunosuppressive conditions or autoimmune diseases. With its
unique mechanism of action and compelling safety profile, we
believe cosibelimab, if approved, would be uniquely positioned to
provide an important new treatment option for cSCC patients that
are currently underserved by available therapies.
- Cosibelimab was sourced by Fortress
and is currently in development at Checkpoint.
Dotinurad (Urate Transporter (URAT1)
Inhibitor)
- Dotinurad is in development for the
treatment of gout. We anticipate topline data from the Phase 1
trial to evaluate dotinurad in healthy volunteers in the United
States in the second quarter of 2023 and expect to begin pivotal
clinical trials in early 2024.
- Dotinurad (URECE® tablet) was
approved in Japan in 2020 as a once-daily oral therapy for gout and
hyperuricemia. Dotinurad was efficacious and well-tolerated in more
than 500 Japanese patients treated for up to 58 weeks in Phase 3
clinical trials. The clinical program supporting approval included
over 1,000 patients.
- Dotinurad was sourced by Fortress
and is currently in development at Urica.
MB-106 (CD20-targeted CAR T Cell
Therapy)
- Mustang Bio, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: MBIO)
(“Mustang Bio”) lead clinical candidate is MB-106, a CD20-targeted,
autologous CAR T cell therapy to treat relapsed or refractory B-NHL
and CLL. MB-106 data to date include an overall response rate of
96% and complete response rate of 75% in a wide range of
hematologic malignancies, including Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
(“WM”), in a clinical trial conducted by Mustang Bio’s
collaborators at Fred Hutch. In parallel, Mustang Bio’s
multicenter, open-label, non-randomized Phase 1/2 clinical trial
evaluating the safety and efficacy of MB-106 continues to accrue,
and Mustang Bio anticipates escalation to the final dose level in
the Phase 1 indolent lymphoma arm in the third quarter of this
year. The FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to MB-106 for the
treatment of WM, and Mustang Bio has treated the first WM patient
in the indolent lymphoma arm of the trial. Results from this arm
are expected to support an accelerated Phase 2 registration
strategy for WM, with the first pivotal Phase 2 WM patient
potentially to be treated in the first quarter of 2024. In the
second quarter of this year, Mustang Bio plans to report safety and
efficacy data from the indolent lymphoma arm.
- Phase 1/2 data from the Fred Hutch
clinical trial on MB-106, a CD20-targeted, autologous CAR T cell
therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory B-NHL and CLL,
will be presented at the European Hematology Association Hybrid
Congress (“EHA2023”) taking place June 8-11, 2023, in Frankfurt,
Germany and at the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma
(“ICML”) taking place June 13-17, 2023, in Lugano, Switzerland.
Data from the WM cohort were selected for poster presentation at
EHA2023 and outpatient treatment of follicular lymphoma was
selected for oral presentation at ICML.
- MB-106 was sourced by Fortress and
is currently in development at Mustang Bio.
CUTX-101 (Copper Histidinate for Menkes
disease)
- Our subsidiary, Cyprium
Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cyprium”) has completed two pivotal studies in
patients with Menkes disease treated with CUTX-101, copper
histidinate (CuHis). In a pre-specified analysis of the studies, a
79% reduction in the risk of death was observed in patients treated
within four weeks of birth, compared with a historical control
cohort of untreated patients, and median overall survival (OS) was
177.1 months for CUTX-101 compared to 16.1 months for historical
control, with a hazard ratio (HR) of (95% CI) = 0.208 (0.094,
0.463) p<0.0001. A 75% reduction in the risk of death was
observed in patients treated after four weeks of birth, compared
with untreated historical control subjects, and median OS was 62.4
and 17.6 months, respectively; HR (95% CI) = 0.253 (0.119, 0.537);
p<0.0001.
- In 2021, Cyprium signed a
Development and Asset Purchase Agreement with Sentynl Therapeutics,
Inc. (“Sentynl”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences
Ltd., for CUTX-101 to treat Menkes disease. Cyprium is responsible
for the development of CUTX-101, and Sentynl will be responsible
for commercialization of CUTX-101, as well as progressing newborn
screening activities.
- In December 2021, Cyprium initiated
the rolling submission of an NDA to the FDA for CUTX-101, which is
ongoing and expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
- Cyprium will retain 100% ownership
over any FDA priority review voucher that may be issued at NDA
approval of CUTX-101.
- CUTX-101 was sourced by Fortress
and is currently in development at Cyprium.
CAEL-101 (Light Chain Fibril-reactive
Monoclonal Antibody for AL Amyloidosis)
- On October 5, 2021, AstraZeneca plc
(“AstraZeneca”) acquired Caelum Biosciences, Inc. (“Caelum”) for an
upfront payment of approximately $150 million paid to Caelum
shareholders, of which approximately $56.9 million was paid to
Fortress, net of Fortress’ $6.4 million portion of the $15 million,
24-month escrow holdback amount and other miscellaneous transaction
expenses. The agreement also provides for additional potential
payments to Caelum shareholders totaling up to $350 million,
payable upon the achievement of regulatory and commercial
milestones. Fortress is eligible to receive 42.4% of all potential
milestone payments, which, together with the upfront payment, would
total up to approximately $212 million.
- There are two ongoing Phase 3
studies of CAEL-101 for AL amyloidosis. (ClinicalTrials.gov
identifiers: NCT04512235 and NCT04504825).2
- AstraZeneca has estimated that it
expects the FDA to accept its BLA submission for review during
calendar year 2024.
- CAEL-101 (anselamimab) was sourced
by Fortress and was developed by Caelum (founded by Fortress) until
its acquisition by AstraZeneca in October 2021.
Triplex (Cytomegalovirus (“CMV”)
vaccine)
- We expect that the Phase 2 clinical
trial of Triplex for adults co-infected with HIV and CMV will
complete enrollment in the second half of 2023 with topline data
anticipated in 2024. The study aims to show potential reduction in
intensity of highly active antiretroviral therapy treatment, which
is used in up to 1.7 million treated HIV patients.
- Triplex received a grant from the
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases that could
provide over $20 million in non-dilutive funding. This will fund a
420 patient multi-center, placebo-controlled, randomized Phase 2
study of Triplex for control of CMV in patients undergoing liver
transplantation and is expected to begin enrollment this year. We
believe this data set could ultimately be used to support approval
of Triplex in this setting.
- Triplex is currently the subject of
three ongoing clinical trials including: pediatric patients
undergoing stem cell transplant; adults co-infected with CMV and
HIV; and in combination with a CAR T cell therapy for adults with
NHL.
- Triplex was sourced by Fortress and
is currently in development at our subsidiary, Helocyte, Inc.
AJ201
- In March 2023, we announced that
our partner company, Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATXI)
(“Avenue”), entered into an exclusive license agreement with AnnJi
Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for intellectual property related to
AJ201, a first-in-class clinical asset currently in a Phase 1b/2a
study in the U.S. for the treatment of spinal and bulbar muscular
atrophy, also known as Kennedy's Disease. Kennedy’s Disease is a
debilitating rare genetic neuromuscular disease primarily affecting
men. Although there is a range of cited prevalence rates in the
literature, a recent study used genetic analysis to estimate
disease prevalence of 1:6,887 males3.
- AJ201 was sourced by Fortress and
is currently in development at Avenue.
IV Tramadol
- In March 2023, Avenue participated
in a Type C meeting with the FDA to discuss the proposed study
protocol to assess the risk of respiratory depression related to
opioid stacking on IV Tramadol compared to IV morphine. The Type C
meeting minutes from the FDA indicate that the FDA and Avenue are
in agreement with a majority of the proposed protocol items and are
in active discussion about remaining open items. The minutes
indicate that the FDA also agrees that a successful study will
support the submission of a complete response to the second
Complete Response Letter for IV Tramadol pending final agreement on
a statistical analysis plan and a full review of the submitted data
in the complete response as well as concurrence from the Division
of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Addiction Products.
- IV Tramadol was
sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at Avenue.
In vivo CAR T Platform
Technology
- We continue to collaborate with the
Mayo Clinic to potentially revolutionize the delivery of CAR T in
patients. The technology has the potential to generate CAR T cells
within the patient’s body after two outpatient injections, without
the need for traditional ex vivo allogeneic or autologous CAR T
cell processing wait time and expense.
- We anticipate the publication of
proof-of-concept research from in vivo animal studies in 2023.
- The novel CAR T technology was
sourced by Fortress and is currently in development at Mustang
Bio.
Marketed Dermatology Products and
Product Candidates
- Journey Medical Corporation
(Nasdaq: DERM) (“Journey Medical”), our partner company, markets
prescription dermatology products.
- In January 2023, Journey Medical
completed enrollment in its DFD-29 Phase 3 clinical program for the
treatment of papulopustular rosacea and achieved the “Last Patient
Out” milestone in May 2023. Topline data from the DFD-29 Phase 3
clinical studies are expected in June of 2023. Journey Medical
plans to submit its NDA for DFD-29 in the second half of 2023, and
an FDA approval decision is anticipated in the second half of 2024.
- In the Phase 2 clinical trials,
DFD-29 (40mg) demonstrated nearly double the efficacy when compared
to Oraycea® (European equivalent of Oracea®) on both co-primary
endpoints. For the first co-primary endpoint, Investigator’s Global
Assessment (“IGA”) treatment success, Oraycea had a 33.33% IGA
treatment success rate, while DFD-29 achieved a 66.04% IGA
treatment success rate. For the second co-primary endpoint, the
change in total inflammatory lesion count, Oraycea had a 10.5
reduction in inflammatory lesions, while DFD-29 achieved a 19.2
reduction in inflammatory lesions.
- Journey Medical’s total product net
revenues were $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared
to first quarter 2022 total product net revenues of $20.8 million.
Compared to the prior year period, net sales were primarily
impacted by Targadox® generic competition and gross-to-net
deductions for Targadox and Ximino®, including returns and managed
care rebates. Higher unit sales were seen in Accutane®, Amzeeq®,
Zilxi® and Exelderm®, while Qbrexza® volume decreased but was
offset by pricing increases.
General Corporate:
Fortress
- In February 2023, Fortress
completed a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under
Nasdaq rules for total gross proceeds of approximately $13.9
million, and a concurrent private placement with investors in the
registered direct offering for the pro rata rights to acquire, in
the aggregate, securities exercisable into common stock in certain
future operating subsidiaries that consummate a specified corporate
development transaction within the next five years.
Financial Results:
To assist our stockholders in understanding our
company, we have prepared non-GAAP financial metrics for the three
months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. These metrics exclude the
operations of our four public partner companies: Avenue,
Checkpoint, Journey Medical and Mustang Bio, as well as any
one-time, non-recurring, non-cash transactions. The goal in
providing these non-GAAP financial metrics is to highlight the
financial results of Fortress’ core operations, which comprise our
privately held development-stage entities, as well as our business
development and finance functions.
- As of March 31, 2023, Fortress’
consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled
$154.9 million, compared to $181.0 million as of December 31, 2022,
a decrease of $26.1 million during the quarter.
- On a GAAP basis, Fortress’ net
revenue totaled $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, which
included $12.2 million in net revenue generated from our marketed
dermatology products. This compares to net revenue totaling $23.9
million for the first quarter of 2022, which included $20.8 million
in net revenue generated from our marketed dermatology
products.
- On a GAAP basis, consolidated
research and development expenses including license acquisitions
were $39.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $36.7
million for the first quarter of 2022. On a non-GAAP basis,
Fortress research and development expenses were $2.3 million for
the first quarter of 2023, compared to $2.8 million for first
quarter of 2022.
- On a GAAP basis, consolidated
selling, general and administrative expenses were $25.3 million for
the first quarter of 2023, compared to $26.3 million for the first
quarter of 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, Fortress selling, general and
administrative expenses were $7.0 million, for the first quarter of
2023, compared to $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2022.
- On a GAAP basis, consolidated net
loss attributable to common stockholders was $21.5 million, or
$0.21 per share, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to
consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders of $15.8
million, or $0.18 per share for the first quarter of 2022.
- Fortress’ non-GAAP loss
attributable to common stockholders was $6.5 million, or $0.06 per
share, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to Fortress’
non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.7 million,
or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter of 2022.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures:In
addition to the GAAP financial measures as presented in our filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our
Form 10-Q to be filed on May 15, 2023, the Company, in this press
release, has included certain non-GAAP measurements. The non-GAAP
net loss attributable to common stockholders is defined by the
Company as GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders, less
net losses attributable to common stockholders from our public
partner companies Avenue, Checkpoint, Journey Medical and Mustang
Bio (“public partner companies”), as well as our former subsidiary,
Caelum. In addition, the Company has also provided a Fortress
non-GAAP loss attributable to common stockholders which is a
modified EBITDA calculation that starts with the non-GAAP loss
attributable to common stockholders and removes stock-based
compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, amortization of
licenses and debt discount, changes in fair values of investment,
changes in fair value of derivative liability, and depreciation
expense. The Company also provides non-GAAP research and
development costs, defined as GAAP research and development costs,
less research and development costs of our public partner companies
and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative costs, defined as
GAAP selling, general and administrative costs, less selling,
general and administrative costs of our public partner
companies.
Management believes each of these non-GAAP
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the
Company's performance because (i) it allows for greater
transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its
financial and operational decision-making; (ii) it excludes the
impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are
not directly attributable to the Company's core operating
performance and that may obscure trends in the Company's core
operating performance; and (iii) it is used by institutional
investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's
standalone results separate from the results of its public partner
companies. However, non-GAAP loss attributable to common
stockholders and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be
considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or
superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance
with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company
and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the
non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the
Company's competitors.

GAAP to non-GAAP measures:
