Fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-NXKI

First and only next-generation oral SERD and complete ER antagonist to demonstrate 1st-line benefit in combination with widely approved CDK4/6 inhibitors LONDON, UK I February 26, 2025 I Positive high-level results from a planned interim analysis of the SERENA-6 Phase III trial showed that AstraZeneca’s camizestrant in combination with a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib) demonstrated a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). The trial evaluated switching to the camizestrant combination versus continuing standard-of-care treatment with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) (anastrozole or letrozole) in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in the 1st-line treatment of patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer whose tumours have an emergent ESR1 mutation. The key secondary endpoints of time to second disease progression (PFS2) and overall survival (OS) were immature at the time of this interim analysis. However, the camizestrant combination demonstrated a trend toward improvement in PFS2. The trial will continue as planned to further assess key secondary endpoints. SERENA-6 is the first global, double-blind, registrational Phase III trial to use a circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA)-guided approach to detect the emergence of endocrine resistance and inform a switch in therapy before disease progression. The novel trial design used ctDNA monitoring at the time of routine tumour scan visits to identify patients for early signs of endocrine resistance and the emergence of ESR1 mutations. Following detection of an ESR1 mutation without disease progression, the endocrine therapy of patients was switched to camizestrant from ongoing treatment with an AI, while continuing combination with the same CDK4/6 inhibitor. François-Clément Bidard, MD, PhD, Professor of Medical Oncology at Institut Curie & UVSQ/Université Paris-Saclay, France, and co-principal investigator for the trial, said: “Patients have an urgent need for new treatments that delay disease progression on 1st-line endocrine-based therapies. The results from SERENA-6 show that switching from an aromatase inhibitor to camizestrant in combination with any of the three CDK4/6 inhibitors after emergence of an ESR1 mutation delays progression of disease and extends the benefit of 1st-line treatment, representing an important step forward for patients, and a potential shift in clinical practice.” Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology Haematology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “These impressive results demonstrate the versatility of camizestrant in combination with all the widely approved CDK4/6 inhibitors to provide a well-tolerated new potential treatment option in the first-line setting for the one in three patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer whose tumours develop ESR1 mutations during treatment with an aromatase inhibitor in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. This critical read-out moves us one step closer to realising the potential of camizestrant to become a new standard-of-care as we look to shift the treatment paradigm and establish this new endocrine therapy backbone in HR-positive breast cancer.” The safety profile of camizestrant in combination with palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib in SERENA-6 was consistent with the known safety profile of each medicine. No new safety concerns were identified and discontinuations were very low and similar in both arms. Globally, approximately 200,000 patients with HR-positive breast cancer are treated with a medicine in the 1st-line setting; most frequently with endocrine therapies that target estrogen receptor (ER)-driven disease, which are often paired with CDK4/6 inhibitors. 1-3 However, resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors and current endocrine therapies develops in many patients with advanced disease. 3 Mutations in the ESR1 gene are a key driver of endocrine resistance and are widely tested for in clinical practice. 4,5 Thesemutations develop during treatment of the disease, becoming more prevalent as the disease progresses and are associated with poor outcomes. 4,5 Approximately 30% of patients with endocrine sensitive HR-positive disease develop ESR1 mutations during 1st-line treatment without disease progression. 1 Data will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting and shared with global regulatory authorities. Notes HR-positive breast cancer Breast cancer is the second most common cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. 6 More than two million patients were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, with more than 665,000 deaths globally. 6 While survival rates are high for those diagnosed with early breast cancer, only about 30% of patients diagnosed with or who progress to metastatic disease are expected to live five years following diagnosis. 7 HR-positive breast cancer, characterised by the expression of estrogen or progesterone receptors, or both, is the most common subtype of breast cancer with 70% of tumours considered HR-positive and HER2-negative. 7 ERs often drive the growth of HR-positive breast cancer cells. 8 Once resistance to the treatment of HR-positive breast cancer with CDK4/6 inhibitors and current endocrine therapies occurs, treatment options are limited and survival rates are low with 35% of patients anticipated to live beyond five years after diagnosis. 3,7,9 The optimisation of endocrine therapy and overcoming resistance to enable patients to continue benefiting from these treatments, as well as identifying new therapies for those who are less likely to benefit, are active areas of focus for breast cancer research. SERENA-6 SERENA-6 is a Phase III, double-blind, randomised trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of camizestrant in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib ) versus treatment with an AI (anastrozole or letrozole) in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib) in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer (patients with either locally advanced disease, or metastatic disease) whose tumours have an emergent ESR1 mutation. The global trial enrolled 315 adult patients with histologically confirmed HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, undergoing treatment with an AI in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor as 1st-line treatment. The primary endpoint of the SERENA-6 trial is PFS as assessed by investigator, with secondary endpoints including OS, and PFS2 by investigator assessment. Camizestrant Camizestrant is an investigational, potent, next-generation oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) and complete ER antagonist that is currently in Phase III trials for the treatment of HR-positive breast cancer. AstraZeneca’s broad, robust and innovative clinical development programme, including the SERENA-6, SERENA-4, CAMBRIA-1 and CAMBRIA-2 trials, is evaluating the safety and efficacy of camizestrant when used as a monotherapy or in combination with other agents to address a number of areas of unmet need in this specific type of breast cancer. Camizestrant has demonstrated anti-cancer activity across a range of preclinical models, including those with ER-activating mutations. In the SERENA-2 Phase II trial, camizestrant demonstrated PFS benefit versus Faslodex (fulvestrant) irrespective of ESR1 mutation status or prior treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors in patients with ER-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, previously treated with endocrine therapy. The SERENA-1 Phase I trial demonstrated that camizestrant is well tolerated and has a promising anti-tumour profile when administered alone or in combination with palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib; three widely used CDK4/6 inhibitors. Combinations with other agents are ongoing in SERENA-1. AstraZeneca in breast cancer Driven by a growing understanding of breast cancer biology, AstraZeneca is challenging, and redefining, the current clinical paradigm for how breast cancer is classified and treated to deliver even more effective treatments to patients in need – with the bold ambition to one day eliminate breast cancer as a cause of death. AstraZeneca has a comprehensive portfolio of approved and promising compounds in development that leverage different mechanisms of action to address the biologically diverse breast cancer tumour environment. With Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan), a HER2-directed ADC, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo are aiming to improve outcomes in previously treated HER2-positive, HER2-low and HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer, and are exploring its potential in earlier lines of treatment and in new breast cancer settings. In HR-positive breast cancer, AstraZeneca continues to improve outcomes with foundational medicines Faslodex and Zoladex (goserelin) and aims to reshape the HR-positive space with first-in-class AKT inhibitor, Truqap (capivasertib), the TROP-2-directed ADC, Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan) and next-generation oral SERD and potential new medicine camizestrant. PARP inhibitor Lynparza (olaparib) is a targeted treatment option that has been studied in early and metastatic breast cancer patients with an inherited BRCA mutation. AstraZeneca with MSD (Merck & Co., Inc. in the US and Canada) continue to research Lynparza in these settings and to explore its potential in earlier disease. AstraZeneca is also exploring the efficacy and safety of saruparib, a potent and selective inhibitor of PARP1, in combination with camizestrant in BRCA-mutated, HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. To bring much-needed treatment options to patients with triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of breast cancer, AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo to evaluate the potential of Datroway alone and in combination with immunotherapy Imfinzi (durvalumab). AstraZeneca in oncology AstraZeneca is leading a revolution in oncology with the ambition to provide cures for cancer in every form, following the science to understand cancer and all its complexities to discover, develop and deliver life-changing medicines to patients.

Financial Highlights GAAP net income for 2024 was $560.1 million, or $8.65 per diluted share, compared to $414.8 million, or $6.10 per diluted share, for 2023. GAAP net income for 4Q24 was $191.1 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net income of $94.2 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for 4Q23. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for 2024 was $1,369.7 million, or $20.90 per diluted share, compared to $1,295.8 million, or $18.29 per diluted share, for 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for 4Q24 was $405.9 million, or $6.60 per diluted share, compared to $345.3 million, or $5.02 per diluted share, for 4Q23. Reconciliations of applicable GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information are included at the end of this press release. Total Revenues Total revenues increased 6% in 2024 and 8% in 4Q24 compared to the same periods in 2023. Total neuroscience revenue, including high-sodium oxybate AG royalty revenue, was $2,915.9 million in 2024, an increase of 5% compared to $2,783.8 million in 2023 and $785.8 million in 4Q24, an increase of 8% compared to $728.9 million in 4Q23. The increase in 2024 and 4Q24 was due to higher Xywav and Epidiolex/Epidyolex net product sales together with increased high-sodium oxybate AG royalty revenue, partially offset by decreased Xyrem net product sales. Oncology net product sales were $1,111.4 million in 2024, an increase of 9% compared to $1,015.3 million in 2023 and $291.8 million in 4Q24, an increase of 7% compared to $273.8 million in 2023, and included higher net product sales from Defitelio/defibrotide which increased 18% in 2024 and 13% in 4Q24 and Zepzelca which increased 11% in 2024 and 6% in 4Q24. In 4Q24, Rylaze net product sales were negatively impacted due to an update to the COG pediatric treatment protocols for ALL, which impacts the timing of asparaginase administration. Operating Expenses and Effective Tax Rate Changes in operating expenses in 2024 and 4Q24 over the prior year periods are primarily due to the following: Cost of product sales, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 2024 and 4Q24, compared to the same periods in 2023, primarily due to higher inventory provisions and changes in product mix. Cost of product sales, on a GAAP basis, included lower acquisition accounting inventory fair value step up expense in 2024 as compared to the previous period. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, increased investment in sales and marketing and increased litigation costs, partially offset, on a GAAP basis, by costs related to impairment of facility assets and program terminations in 2023. SG&A expenses, on a GAAP basis, decreased in 4Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the impairment of facility assets in 4Q23, partially offset by higher compensation related expenses. SG&A expenses, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 4Q24 primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses. Research and development (R&D) expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 2024 and 4Q24, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased compensation related expenses and clinical study costs primarily related to zanidatamab, partially offset by reduced costs related to JZP150 and JZP385. Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense in 2024, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, related to an upfront payment made in connection with our asset purchase and collaboration agreement with Redx Pharma plc. Acquired IPR&D expense in 2023, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, primarily related to an upfront payment made in connection with our licensing and collaboration agreement with Autifony Therapeutics Limited. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet As of December 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and investments were $3.0 billion, and the outstanding principal balance of the Company's long-term debt was $6.2 billion. In addition, the Company had undrawn borrowing capacity under a revolving credit facility of $885.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated $1.4 billion of cash from operations reflecting strong business performance and continued financial discipline.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. In particular, the Company presents non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components, as well as certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures derived therefrom, including non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage and non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components exclude from GAAP reported net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components certain items, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, and in the case of non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income, including non-GAAP adjusted cost of product sales, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses, are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall non-GAAP adjusted net income measure. The Company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts and that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the Company's results from period to period, to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the Company's business. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are regularly used by investors and analysts to model and track the Company's financial performance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management, the Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles in the reconciliation tables that follow. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. In this regard, the company has determined that, beginning with the 2025 financial guidance presented in this press release, it will no longer include an adjustment for non-cash interest expense in its non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. Accordingly, any historical non-GAAP adjusted financial measures presented by the company in the future, beginning with the company's earnings press release for the first quarter of 2025, will not include an adjustment for non-cash interest expense. Any comparative historical periods presented will also be updated to reflect this change beginning with the company's earnings press release for the first quarter of 2025. However, for purposes of comparability with the company's prior presentations of non-GAAP financial measures, the historical non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release include an adjustment for non-cash interest expense. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
