“We started 2025 with tremendous momentum based on our 2024 achievements and are well positioned to further our mission,” said Jeremy Bender, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Day One. “Our priorities this year are to drive OJEMDA revenue, to continue investing in programs that leverage our expertise in development and commercialization, and to maintain a strong and durable financial position that allows us to operate independently from capital markets.”

Preliminary 2024 Financial Highlights

OJEMDA net product revenues were approximately $29.0 million for the fourth quarter, bringing 2024 full-year revenue to approximately $57.2 million (unaudited).

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled approximately $531.7 million as of December 31, 2024 (unaudited), as compared to $366.3 million on December 31, 2023.

2024 Highlights

• OJEMDA received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accelerated approval in April 2024. It is the first and only FDA-approved therapy for the treatment of patients 6 months of age and older with relapsed or refractory pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG) harboring a BRAF fusion or rearrangement, or BRAF V600 mutation.
  
  
  
  
  • In December 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services agreed that OJEMDA is approved exclusively for pediatric indications, reducing its Medicaid and 340B minimum rebate percentage from 23.1% to 17.1%.
    
    
    
    
• Progressed enrollment in the pivotal Phase 3 FIREFLY-2 clinical trial evaluating tovorafenib as a front-line therapy in patients aged 6 months to 25 years with pLGG with more than 100 sites activated in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia.
  
  
  
  
  • The Company expects to complete enrollment of FIREFLY-2 in the first half of 2026.
    
    
    
    
• Expanded the pipeline with the in-licensing of DAY301 and cleared the first cohort (a single-patient accelerated titration cohort) in the Phase 1a portion of the DAY301 Phase 1a/b clinical trial. DAY301 is a potential first-in-class Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) targeting PTK7.
  
  
  
  
• Entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Ipsen to commercialize tovorafenib outside of the U.S.
  
  

2025 Upcoming Priorities and Milestones

• Continue to grow OJEMDA revenue in relapsed or refractory pLGG.
  
  
  
  
• Advance the existing pipeline, including the FIREFLY-2 Phase 3 clinical trial with tovorafenib in the front-line setting, and DAY301 in the Phase 1a/b trial.
  
  
  
  
• Pursue business development opportunities to expand the pipeline.
  
  
  
  
• Maintain a self-sustaining financial position for investing in durable growth.
  
  

The 2024 net product revenues and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments position included in this release are preliminary and are therefore subject to adjustment. The preliminary net product revenue results are based on management’s initial analysis of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company expects to issue full financial results for the fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 in February 2025.
