(Tourmaline) (NASDAQ: TRML), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company developing transformative medicines to dramatically improve the lives of patients with life-altering immune and inflammatory diseases, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 and outlined recent business highlights. “We continue to see growing evidence and enthusiasm for the potential of addressing IL-6-driven cardiovascular inflammation through our discussions with cardiovascular disease experts, attendance at major medical conferences, and review of constantly emerging scientific literature,” said Sandeep Kulkarni, MD, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tourmaline. “We look forward to the expected presentation of topline data from our Phase 2 TRANQUILITY trial of pacibekitug later in the second quarter. This readout has the potential to advance pacibekitug into the next stage of development within atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and potentially other cardiovascular diseases.” Clinical Highlights and Upcoming Milestones: Cardiovascular Inflammation In December 2024, Tourmaline announced the over-enrollment of its Phase 2 TRANQUILITY trial, which evaluates quarterly and monthly subcutaneous dosing of pacibekitug in patients with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and chronic kidney disease. A total of 143 participants have been enrolled in the TRANQUILITY trial, as compared to 120 participants originally anticipated. Tourmaline remains on track to report topline data from the TRANQUILITY trial in the second quarter of 2025.The TRANQUILITY trial is the starting point of Tourmaline’s clinical development program for pacibekitug for the potential treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and other cardiovascular diseases. If successful, results from the TRANQUILITY trial are expected to position pacibekitug to be Phase 3-ready for ASCVD.At its Investor Day in December 2024, Tourmaline announced the nomination of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) as an additional indication within its cardiovascular inflammation disease focus for pacibekitug. Tourmaline expects to provide additional details on a planned Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in AAA in conjunction with the reporting of topline data from the TRANQUILITY trial. Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) The Phase 2b spiriTED trial remains ongoing, and Tourmaline expects to report topline data from this trial in the second half of 2025.Tourmaline expects to provide additional information on its future development plans in TED after review of data from the Phase 2b spiriTED trial. Publications and Presentations: Emil deGoma, MD, Tourmaline’s SVP of Medical Research was a contributing author and Dipender Gill, MD, PhD, a member of Tourmaline’s Cardiovascular Scientific Advisory Board, was the senior author on an original research manuscript entitled “Human Genetic Evidence to Inform Clinical Development of IL-6 Signaling Inhibition for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm” that was published in the February 2025 issue of the American Heart Association’s Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology journal.In March 2025, representatives from Tourmaline presented a poster entitled “Real World Management Patterns and Outcomes in Thyroid Eye Disease: A Claims Analysis” at the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society 2025 Annual Meeting held in Tucson, Arizona.John Walsh, MD, Tourmaline’s Vice President, Head of Medical Affairs, Kristine Erickson, OD, PhD, Tourmaline’s Vice President and TA Head, Ophthalmology, Medical Research, and other representatives from Tourmaline were contributing authors to a publication entitled “The role of IL-6 in thyroid eye disease: An update on emerging treatments” that was published in the April 2025 issue of Frontiers in Ophthalmology. First Quarter 2025 Financial Results: Cash Position Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $275.3 million as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $294.9 million as of December 31, 2024. Tourmaline anticipates that its current cash, cash equivalents, and investments will provide cash runway into the second half of 2027, funding its operations through key pacibekitug data readouts in cardiovascular inflammation and TED as well as other pacibekitug development activities. Operating Expenses Research and development expenses were $20.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily driven by increased clinical trial expenses directly related to the TRANQUILITY and spiriTED trials, increased employee compensation costs attributable to additional headcount, increased routine toxicology study expenses, and increased consulting expenses.General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by decreased consulting expenses. Net Loss Net loss was $23.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, resulting in a basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.89. Net loss was $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, resulting in basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.55.The increase in both net loss and net loss per share was attributable to increased operating expenses and Tourmaline’s overall growth from 2024 to 2025.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2025. "Demand for our products was strong globally in the first quarter. Ongoing new product launches and successful Phase 3 trial results for several products make us feel confident in our long-term growth prospects," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. Key results include: For the first quarter, total revenues increased 9% to $8.1 billion in comparison to the first quarter of 2024. Product sales grew 11%, primarily driven by 14% volume growth, partially offset by 6% lower net selling price. U.S. sales grew 14%. Fourteen products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the first quarter, including Repatha® (evolocumab), BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab), TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko), EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg), TAVNEOS® (avacopan) and UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon). Our launch of IMDELLTRA ® (tarlatamab-dlle) generated $81 million of sales in the quarter and the Phase 3 confirmatory study demonstrated improved overall survival compared to chemotherapy. IMDELLTRA ® launched in Japan in April 2025. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) were $3.20 for the first quarter of 2025 compared with a GAAP loss per share of $0.21 for the first quarter of 2024, resulting from an unrealized gain on our BeiGene, Ltd. equity investment during the first quarter of 2025 compared to an unrealized loss during the prior year period, partially offset by an Otezla® intangible asset impairment charge of $800 million recorded during the first quarter of 2025. GAAP operating income increased from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 1.1 percentage points to 15.0%. Non-GAAP EPS increased 24% from $3.96 to $4.90, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.1 billion to $3.6 billion and non-GAAP operating margin increased 2.5 percentage points to 45.7%. The Company generated $1.0 billion of free cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 versus $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024. This increase reflects an $800 million tax deposit made in the first quarter of 2024 and current quarter business performance, partially offset by timing of working capital items and higher capital expenditures. References in this release to "non-GAAP" measures, measures presented "on a non-GAAP basis," and "free cash flow" (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other items are presented in the attached reconciliations. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion.

XGEVA® (denosumab) sales increased 1% year-over-year to $566 million in the first quarter. For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition, particularly in the second half of the year. Nplate® (romiplostim) sales decreased 1% year-over-year to $313 million in the first quarter as volume growth was more than offset by unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions and foreign exchange impact. IMDELLTRA® (tarlatamab-dlle)/IMDYLLTRA™ (tarlatamab) generated $81 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales increased 21% quarter-over-quarter driven by volume growth. MVASI® (bevacizumab-awwb) sales decreased 11% year-over-year to $179 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by lower volume. Going forward, we expect continued sales erosion driven by competition. Established Products Our established products, which consist of Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa), Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide) and Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), generated $557 million of sales in the first quarter. Sales decreased 3% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 10% lower net selling price and 3% unfavorable foreign exchange impact, partially offset by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Product Sales Detail by Product and Geographic Region Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis On a GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses increased 8% year-over-year for the first quarter. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 7.3 percentage points driven by lower amortization expense from the fair value step-up of inventory acquired from Horizon and lower manufacturing costs, partially offset by changes in our sales mix.

Enrollment is now complete in seven studies. In March, detailed data were presented from the ROCKET HORIZON Phase 3 study, which met its co-primary and all key secondary endpoints. In March, data were announced from three additional ROCKET program Phase 3 studies: The IGNITE study, which evaluated two dose strengths of rocatinlimab, met its co-primary endpoints and all key secondary endpoints at week 24: 42.3% of patients in the higher dose group achieved ≥75% reduction from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index score (EASI-75), a 29.5% difference vs. placebo. In the lower dose group, 36.3% of patients achieved EASI-75, a 23.4% difference vs. placebo. 23.6% of patients in the higher dose group achieved a validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD™) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a ≥2-point reduction from baseline (vIGA-AD 0/1), a 14.9% difference vs. placebo. In the lower dose group, 19.1% of patients achieved this endpoint, a 10.3% difference vs. placebo. 22.7% of patients in the higher dose group achieved a revised Investigator's Global Assessment (rIGA™) score of 0/1 with a ≥2-point reduction from baseline (a more stringent measure of efficacy than vIGA-AD 0/1), a 14.4% difference vs. placebo. In the lower dose group, 16.3% of patients achieved this endpoint, an 8.0% difference vs. placebo. The SHUTTLE study, which evaluated two dose strengths of rocatinlimab in combination with topical corticosteroids (TCS) and/or topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI), met its co-primary endpoints and all key secondary endpoints at week 24. The VOYAGER study, which successfully demonstrated that rocatinlimab does not interfere with responses to tetanus and meningococcal vaccinations. Across ROCKET program results to date, safety findings were generally consistent with the previously observed safety profile of rocatinlimab. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events (≥5%) with higher observed proportion in rocatinlimab groups were pyrexia, chills and headache. A higher number of patients receiving rocatinlimab vs. placebo experienced gastrointestinal ulceration events, with an overall incidence of less than 1%. Key upcoming milestones from the ROCKET Phase 3 program: ROCKET ASCEND is a study evaluating rocatinlimab maintenance therapy in adult and adolescent patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Data readout is anticipated in H2 2025. ROCKET ASTRO is a 52-week study evaluating rocatinlimab in adolescent patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Data readout is anticipated in H2 2025.

IMDELLTRA / tarlatamab IMDELLTRA is the first and only FDA-approved delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) targeting BiTE® molecule. In April, the Company announced that the global Phase 3 DeLLphi-304 study met its primary endpoint of improved overall survival at a planned interim analysis. This study evaluated IMDELLTRA compared to local standard-of-care chemotherapy as a treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who progressed on or after a single line of platinum-based chemotherapy. The safety profile for IMDELLTRA was consistent with its known profile. Together these randomized data have the potential to establish IMDELLTRA as a new standard of care in second-line SCLC. Detailed data from DeLLphi-304 will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting (ASCO) in June. The Company is advancing a comprehensive, global clinical development program across extensive-stage and limited-stage SCLC: DeLLphi-303, a Phase 1b study of IMDELLTRA in combination with a programmed cell death protein ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitor, carboplatin and etoposide or separately in combination with PD-L1 alone, is ongoing in patients with first-line ES-SCLC. DeLLphi-305, a Phase 3 study of IMDELLTRA and durvalumab, is enrolling patients with first-line ES-SCLC in the maintenance setting. DeLLphi-306, a Phase 3 study of IMDELLTRA following concurrent chemoradiation therapy, is enrolling patients with limited-stage SCLC. DeLLphi-308, a Phase 1b study evaluating subcutaneous tarlatamab, is enrolling patients with second line or later ES-SCLC. DeLLphi-309, a Phase 2 study evaluating alternative intravenous dosing regimens in second-line ES-SCLC, is enrolling patients. DeLLphi-310, a Phase 1b study, was initiated in patients with ES-SCLC evaluating IMDELLTRA in combination with YL201, a B7-H3 targeting antibody-drug conjugate, with or without anti-PD-L1. DeLLphi-312, a Phase 3 study of first-line IMDELLTRA with carboplatin, etoposide and durvalumab is planned to initiate in patients with ES-SCLC by mid-2025.

Atzumi™ (dihydroergotamine(DHE)) nasal powder is the first and only DHE nasal powder for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults in an easy-to-use, easy-to-carry device. Atzumi is the first and only product utilizing the SMART (Simple MucoAdhesive Release Technology) platform which combines a proprietary advanced powder and device technology to simplify delivery of DHE. In clinical studies, Atzumi administration provided rapid and sustained DHE concentrations with low variability. DURHAM, N.C., April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Satsuma Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to bringing novel treatments to people who suffer from migraine and other debilitating conditions, and its corporate parent, Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories, Ltd. (TSE:2395), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) for Atzumi™(dihydroergotamine (DHE)) nasal powder for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Atzumi was previously known as STS101. Migraine is a neurological disorder that is thought to be the result of temporary changes in the chemicals, nerves and blood vessels in the brain, with symptoms that are often incapacitating. According to the American Migraine Foundation, approximately 40 million Americans live with migraine. It is the second leading cause of disability worldwide in terms of time lost to disability and most common cause of disability among young women. "The approval of Atzumi is a milestone to celebrate, providing a new option for the acute treatment of migraine combining long-proven benefits of DHE with a patient-friendly and easy-to-use delivery system developed based on SNBL's novel intranasal drug delivery platform technology," said Dr. Ryoichi Nagata, President and CEO of Satsuma. "We believe that Atzumi will contribute to improving the quality of life of patients struggling for relief from these highly disabling problems." "DHE plays a unique clinical role in the acute treatment of migraine, providing patients long lasting effects and the unique ability to provide benefit even when taken late in a migraine attack. The convenience of Atzumi, the only DHE nasal powder, will offer patients ease of use combined with the important known DHE clinical advantages", said Dr. Stewart J. Tepper, M.D., Vice President of the New England Institute for Neurology and Headache in Stamford, Connecticut. About Atzumi Atzumi is a proprietary drug device product incorporating both Satsuma's advanced nasal powder formulation of dihydroergotamine (DHE) administered via its unique nasal delivery device. The product is designed to provide patients an easy-to-use and easy-to-carry treatment option. The FDA approval for Atzumi is based on two clinical studies (Phase 1 PK trial and ASCEND Phase 3 open-label, long-term safety trial), which demonstrated fast absorption, rapid achievement of high DHE plasma concentrations, and sustained DHE plasma levels over time as well as safety and tolerability in subjects with migraine. About Dihydroergotamine (DHE) Since its approval in 1946, DHE has long been recommended in published migraine treatment guidelines as a first-line acute treatment option for migraine and has significant advantages versus other anti-migraine treatments for many patients. However, disadvantages of current DHE liquid nasal spray and injectable products, including invasive and burdensome administration and/or sub-optimal clinical performance, have limited the widespread use of DHE. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: PERIPHERAL ISCHEMIA FOLLOWING COADMINISTRATION WITH STRONG CYP3A4 INHIBITORS Serious and/or life-threatening peripheral ischemia has been associated with the coadministration of dihydroergotamine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Because CYP3A4 inhibition elevates the serum levels of dihydroergotamine, the risk for vasospasm leading to cerebral ischemia and/or ischemia of the extremities is increased. Hence, concomitant use of Atzumi with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is contraindicated. Indication Atzumi is an ergotamine derivative indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Limitations of Use Atzumi is not indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine or for the management of hemiplegic migraine or migraine with brainstem aura. Contraindications Atzumi is not recommended in patients with: Concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors Ischemic heart disease or coronary artery vasospasm Uncontrolled hypertension, peripheral arterial diseases, sepsis, following vascular surgery, or severe hepatic or renal impairment Hypersensitivity to ergot alkaloids Concomitant use of other 5-HT₁ agonists or ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medication within 24 hours Concomitant use of peripheral and central vasoconstrictors Warnings and Precautions Atzumi may cause: Cardiac events: Cardiac events in patients with risk factors of coronary artery diseases: Consider administration of the first dose of Atzumi under medical supervision (including the use of an electrocardiogram) Cerebrovascular events: Cerebrovascular events (eg, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke) have been reported, particularly with dihydroergotamine mesylate injection Vasospasm/elevated blood pressure: Dihydroergotamine may cause vasospasm or elevation in blood pressure Medication overuse headache: Detoxification may be necessary Preterm labor: Advise pregnant women of the risk Fibrotic complications: Rare cases have been reported following prolonged daily use of dihydroergotamine mesylate. Administration of Atzumi should not exceed the dosing guidelines or be used for chronic daily administration Local irritation: Local irritation has been reported following administration of Atzumi Most Common Adverse Reactions Most common adverse reactions (incidence >1%) were rhinitis, nausea, altered sense of taste, application site reaction, dizziness, vomiting, somnolence, pharyngitis, and diarrhea. Use in Special Populations Pregnancy: Available data from published literature indicate an increased risk of preterm delivery with Atzumi us during pregnancy. Lactation: Patients should not breastfeed during treatment with Atzumi and for 3 days after the last dose.
