Eidos Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eidos Therapeutics, Inc. (Eidos) (Nasdaq:), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on addressing the large and growing unmet need in diseases caused by transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis (ATTR), today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and provided an update on the Company’s recent achievements.

“With the proceeds from our IPO and Series B financing, we are well positioned to continue the momentum of developing AG10 as a disease-modifying therapy for ATTR,” said Neil Kumar, PhD, chief executive officer of Eidos. “Specifically, we plan to complete our ongoing Phase 2 trial in ATTR-CM patients by the end of 2018 and initiate Phase 3 studies in ATTR-CM and ATTR-PN patients in 2019.” 

Recent Achievements and Upcoming Milestones

  • Initiated and completed enrollment in the ongoing Phase 2 trial in ATTR-CM patients.
  • Completed Series B preferred stock financing raising $64 million.
  • Completed initial public offering, with total gross proceeds of $122.2 million including exercise of underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, from the sale of 7.2 million shares of common stock.
  • Complete data from Phase 1 study of AG10 in healthy volunteers to be presented at poster presentation at Heart Failure Society of America 22nd Annual Scientific Meeting (September 15-18).
  • Top-line results from ongoing Phase 2 study of AG10 in symptomatic ATTR-CM patients to be announced by the end of 2018.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2018

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $176.7 million at June 30, 2018 compared with $5.5 million at December 31, 2017, reflecting the $112.2 million of net proceeds from our initial public offering in June 2018 and $64.0 million related to the Series B preferred stock financing.

Research and development expenses were $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2017, an increase of $6.1 million. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses for contract consultants, contract manufacturing and other activities for AG10 clinical trials and increases in headcount and related salaries and expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $1.4 million. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and employee-related expenses and increases in professional fees and services in connection with becoming a public company.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $10.6 million or $1.38 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million or $0.49 per common share for the same period in 2017.

About AG10

AG10 is an orally-administered small molecule designed to potently stabilize tetrameric transthyretin, or TTR, thereby halting at its outset the series of molecular events that give rise to amyloidosis, or ATTR. AG10 is currently being examined in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with ATTR cardiomyopathy. Top-line results from this trial are expected to be reported by the end of 2018.

AG10 was designed to mimic a naturally-occurring variant of the TTR gene (T119M) that is considered a “rescue mutation” because it has been shown to prevent ATTR in individuals carrying pathogenic, or disease-causing, mutations in the TTR gene. To our knowledge, AG10 is the only TTR stabilizer in development that has been observed to mimic the “super-stabilizing” properties of this rescue mutation.
