Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation Reports Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results and Operational Highlights
51 minutes ago - DJNF
LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2017--
Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ:ITEK), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapies for ocular diseases, today reported financial results and operational highlights for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
"In 2016, Inotek completed the Phase 3 MATrX-1 clinical trial of trabodenoson for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension and also initiated a Phase 2 trial to identify a potential fixed-dose combination of trabodenoson and latanoprost for the same indications," said David P. Southwell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Inotek. "While MATrX-1 did not achieve its primary endpoint, superiority in reduction of mean intraocular pressure (IOP) compared to placebo, we believe this result was driven by placebo outliers at a few trial sites."
"We intend to discuss the full MATrX-1 data set with the US Food and Drug Administration in the first half of 2017 to determine next steps for the clinical development of the monotherapy program," added Mr. Southwell. "In addition, the Phase 2 fixed-dose combination study of trabodenoson with latanoprost, addressing a considerably larger market opportunity than monotherapy, is fully enrolled and we expect to report top-line data in mid-2017. Based on the results of this trial, we will determine next steps for the clinical development of this combination therapy."
Upcoming Events:
-- Report top-line Phase 2 fixed-dose combination dose-ranging trial data in
mid-2017.
-- Complete analysis of MATrX-1 study results and determine next steps.
Recent Trabodenoson Development Program Highlights:
-- In January 2017, Inotek announced top-line results of MATrX-1, a Phase 3
randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial of trabodenoson for
the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The
trial did not achieve its primary endpoint, which was superiority in
reduction of IOP compared with placebo at every single one of the 12 time
points.
-- In July 2016, Inotek initiated a Phase 2 dose-ranging trial of a
fixed-dose combination of trabodenoson and latanoprost in patients with
ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma. Top-line results from
this study are expected in mid-2017.
-- In July 2016, Inotek announced the issuance of a U.S. composition of
matter patent for the combination of trabodenoson with a prostaglandin
analog for the treatment of IOP in patients with glaucoma.
Full Year 2016 Financing Highlights:
-- In August 2016, Inotek closed an underwritten public offering of $52.0
million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due
2021 and received net proceeds of approximately $48.7 million after
deducting underwriting discounts and offering-related costs.
Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results:
-- Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31,
2016 were $126.5 million.
-- Research and development expenses were $32.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2016, compared to $12.6 million for the year ended December
31, 2015.
-- General and administrative expenses were $9.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2016, compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2015.
-- Loss from operations was $41.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2016, compared to $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
-- Net loss was $42.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared
to $68.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, which included
$42.8 million in non-cash expenses associated with marking the 2020
Convertible Notes derivative liability to market value at the time of the
note conversions.
-- Approximately 27.0 million shares of common stock were outstanding at
December 31, 2016.
