Financial GuidanceBased on its current operating plan, Arvinas believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2024, is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2027. Third Quarter Financial Results Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities Position: As of September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1,121.6 million as compared with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $1,266.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $144.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to cash used in operations of $158.1 million (net of $150.0 million received from the Novartis agreements), inclusive of a one-time cash termination fee in the amount of $41.5 million related to the termination of our laboratory and office space lease with 101 College Street LLC in August 2024 and the purchase of lab equipment and leasehold improvements of $1.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $7.7 million and unrealized gains on marketable securities of $7.2 million. Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $86.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared with $85.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase in research and development expenses of $1.0 million for the quarter was primarily due to an increase in compensation and related personnel expenses of $2.8 million, which are not allocated by program, partially offset by a decrease in external expenses of $2.2 million. External expenses include program-specific expenses, which decreased by $1.1 million, primarily driven by decreases in our ARV-766 and ARV-110 programs of $3.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in our ARV-102 and ARV-393 programs of $2.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and our non-program specific expenses, which decreased by $1.1 million. General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $75.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared with $22.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $53.2 million for the quarter was primarily due to a loss on the termination of our laboratory and office space lease with 101 College Street LLC of $43.4 million as well as increases in personnel and infrastructure related costs of $5.0 million, professional fees of $3.4 million and in developing our commercial operations of $1.2 million. Revenue: Revenue was $102.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 as compared with $34.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Revenue for the quarter is related to the license agreement with Novartis, the Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer, the collaboration and license agreement with Bayer and the collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer. The increase in revenue of $67.8 million was primarily due to revenue from the Novartis license agreement of $76.7 million, offset by a decrease in revenue from the Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer of $7.6 million related to timing differences in clinical trials and program expenses and a decrease in revenue from Bayer of $1.1 million related to the termination of the Bayer Collaboration Agreement in August 2024.

Investigational agent in development as a one dose treatment or prevention of seasonal and pandemic influenza A dose ranging, Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers demonstrated positive tolerability results and plasma levels in the predicted therapeutic window, enabling selection of Phase 2 dose Preclinical data showed potent inhibition of drug-resistant and bird influenza viruses Phase 2 study expected to begin in H1 2025 Improved therapy is an important need for both seasonal and pandemic flu Oct. 08, 2024 -- Traws Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRAW) (“Traws Pharma”, “Traws” or “the Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of respiratory viral diseases, today announced positive topline Phase 1 safety and pharmacokinetic results for its investigational one-dose influenza (flu) therapy, tivoxavir marboxil (tivoxavir). Tivoxavir was designed as a potential best-in-class inhibitor of the highly-conserved influenza protein, CAP-dependent endonuclease (CEN), intended for use across a broad range of flu viruses. “Topline data from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer study showed good overall tolerability and a pharmacokinetic profile that appears to support tivoxavir’s potential use as a one-time treatment for flu, including pandemic flu. We are especially pleased with data showing that a single dose of tivoxavir maintained plasma drug levels above the EC90 for greater than 5 days1,” said Werner Cautreels, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Traws Pharma. “In addition, preclinical data show that tivoxavir is a potent inhibitor of drug-resistant influenza and bird flu viruses1. Together, these initial results suggest that tivoxavir has the potential to be developed as a best-in-class agent for influenza. With these data, we plan to advance the program to a Phase 2 study in H1 2025.” “Influenza is a substantial public health burden in the US2, with a disproportionate impact on older adults and vulnerable populations. Data from the last influenza season showed that flu-related hospitalizations3 and mortality4 were highest, by approximately three times, among people 65 years of age or older5. Recent bird flu outbreaks, and the risk that this highly pathogenic virus (H5N1) poses for evolving into a pandemic outbreak6, also signal the need for new antiviral treatments,” said Robert R. Redfield, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Traws Pharma and former Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Our enthusiasm for tivoxavir is based on the data announced today and the need for novel therapeutics, especially as valuable resources in case of an avian flu outbreak or a pandemic, and for potential use to prevent virus spread in households and congregant settings.” “We selected CEN as the target for our flu program because it is conserved among human and avian influenza viruses, including the highly pathogenic H5N1. As a result, we believe tivoxavir has the potential to suppress a wide range of viruses. We are very pleased that tivoxavir demonstrated broad activity in laboratory studies against drug-resistant viruses and highly pathogenic strains such as avian flu1. In addition, we believe that preferential uptake in the lung is another important feature of a candidate agent. Preclinical data indicate that a single dose of tivoxavir has more than 15X higher accumulation in the lung compared to plasma1,” said C. David Pauza, PhD, Chief Science Officer for Traws Pharma. “Positive Phase 1 data showing that tivoxavir achieved plasma blood levels in healthy subjects that are consistently above the EC90 and within the predicted therapeutic window for more than five days lead to the identification of our Phase 2 dose, supporting further development of the program.” The Phase 1 trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ascending doses of one-time tivoxavir marboxil treatment in healthy, influenza-negative, adult volunteers. At the identified Phase 2 dose, no treatment related adverse events were reported during the Phase 1 study. Topline data from this study showed that a single dose of tivoxavir marboxil maintained plasma drug levels consistently above the EC90 for more than five days and within the predicted therapeutic window. Preclinical studies showed that tivoxavir marboxil demonstrated potent inhibition of drug-resistant influenza viruses, as well as potent inhibition of highly pathogenic bird flu viruses1. Seasonal influenza is estimated to represent a multi-billion antiviral market opportunity, largely driven by global health organizations, practice guidelines and government tenders1, with upside potential from pandemic flu outbreaks. Tivoxavir marboxil (also known as 27-5116 or TRX-100) was designed as an inhibitor of the highly conserved influenza protein, CAP-dependent endonuclease (CEN). It has demonstrated potent in vitro activity against a range of influenza strains, including the highly pathogenic avian flu, in preclinical studies. The drug candidate’s Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in healthy subjects, including the ability to achieve plasma levels that are consistently above the EC90 (as determined in laboratory studies), for more than five days and within the predicted therapeutic window, may enable a single dose treatment regimen. These data, combined with good overall tolerability results in healthy subjects, support further development of tivoxavir marboxil as a one-time treatment for influenza. Traws Pharma is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing potential oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of respiratory viral diseases and cancer. The viral respiratory disease program includes two oral, novel, Phase 1, potentially best-in-class, small molecule drug candidates: tivoxavir marboxil, in development for flu and pandemic flu, targeting the influenza cap-dependent endonuclease (CEN); and ratutrelvir, in development as a COVID treatment, targeting the Mpro (3CL protease), without the need for co-administration of ritonavir. In the cancer program, Traws is utilizing a partnering strategy, supported by investigator sponsored studies, to advance two novel proprietary multi-kinase inhibitors, narazaciclib, targeting CDK4+, and rigosertib, targeting cell cycle proteins including PLK-1. Traws is committed to delivering novel compounds for unmet medical needs using state-of-the-art drug development technology. With a focus on product safety and a commitment to patients in need or that are specifically vulnerable, we aim to build solutions for important medical challenges and alleviate the burden of viral infections.
