Full transcript – Addex Therapeutics Ltd DRC (ADXN) Q3 2023:
Operator: Good day and thanks for standing by. Welcome to the Addex Therapeutics Third Quarter 2023 Monetary Outcomes and Company Replace Convention Name. Right now, all members are in a listen-only mode. After the audio system’ presentation, there would be the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Please be suggested that right now’s convention is being recorded. I’d now like handy the convention over to your speaker right now, Tim Dyer. Please go forward.
Tim Dyer: Thanks. Hi there everybody. I wish to thanks all for attending our Q3 2023 monetary outcomes convention name. I am right here with Robert Lutjens, our Head of Discovery-Biology and Mikhail Kalinichev, our Head of Translational Science. I draw your consideration to the press launch and the monetary statements issued earlier right now, which can be found on our web site. I additionally draw your consideration to our disclaimer. We will likely be ensuring forward-looking statements which might be primarily based on the data we’ve got right now. I’ll begin this convention name by giving a fast overview of our current achievements earlier than handing over to Robert and Mikhail, who will assessment our medical and preclinical pipeline. I’ll then assessment our Q3 2023 monetary outcomes. Following that, we are going to open the decision for Q&A. So beginning with the highlights, our accomplice Janssen accomplished recruitment of the ADX71149 Part 2 epilepsy research earlier this month and we have confirmed that knowledge is predicted in Q2 2024. I would wish to remind you that an unbiased interim assessment committee established by Janssen to assessment the unblinded knowledge from Half 1 of Cohort 1 made its suggestion to proceed the research. This suggestion and the choice of Janssen to proceed the research could be very encouraging and means that 149 is protected and well-tolerated and could also be having a optimistic affect on this affected person inhabitants. Now we have made substantial progress in our collaboration with our accomplice Indivior and advancing a number of novel GABAB compounds coming by your candidate choice. As a reminder, Indivior main curiosity is in substance use dysfunction and beneath the settlement, we’ve got retained the correct to pick drug candidates for growth in sure unique preserved indications. We’re focusing our unbiased program on cough. Throughout Q3, we’ve got continued to advance compounds by medical candidate choice, a number of compounds displaying wonderful efficacy and a number of preclinical cough. In Q3, we introduced the extension of our collaboration by June 2024 with CHF2.7 million of extra analysis funding dedicated by Indivior. We anticipate Indivior and ourselves to pick compounds to advance into ING-enabling research in 2024. We lead a consortium, we led a consortium which has secured €4 million grant to advance our mGlu2N unfavorable modulator cognition program by lead optimization to medical candidate choice part. We additionally proceed to imagine there may be worth in Dipraglurant, our Part 2 prepared compound and have considerably accomplished our analysis of the long run growth. We’re constructing post-stroke restoration as an fascinating space for future growth and are at present profiling Dipraglurant preclinical fashions of post-stroke restoration. Moreover, preclinical knowledge was lately revealed within the journal Mind which strongly helps the rationale for the inhibition of mGlu5 [Ph] receptors as a therapy for post-stroke restoration and the event of Dipraglurant on this vital medical want. We’re in parallel pursuing discussions with potential companions to advance future growth of Dipraglurant. And final however not least, our M4 PAM program for schizophrenia which is now a precedence program for us continues to make speedy progress by medical candidate choice part and is on observe to start out ING-enabling research within the second half of subsequent 12 months. From a monetary perspective, we proceed to pursue discussions with potential companions throughout the portfolio and extremely managed prices. As of right now, we estimate that our money reserve offers us with a runway by Q1 2024. Now I’ll hand over to Robert who provides you with some extra particulars about our current pipeline.
Robert Lutjens: Thanks, Tim. Hi there everybody. I’ll begin by talking about our Part 2 epilepsy research with ADX71149 which is being executed by Janssen. Janssen is making wonderful progress and has lately accomplished recruitment of 110 sufferers throughout two cohorts. Epilepsy is a big multi-billion greenback market alternative the place regardless of a number of obtainable remedies [Ph], many sufferers are nonetheless in want of improved therapies to deal with the illness. As a reminder, ADX71149 is a metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 or mGluR2 optimistic allosteric modulator found in partnership with Janssen utilizing ADX’s proprietary allosteric modulation platform. ADX71149 has demonstrated each thermal and efficacy and a robust synergistic impact together with inhibitors of SV2A corresponding to Keppra and Briviact. 149 has additionally been completely profiled in preclinical and medical research by Janssen demonstrating its good security and tolerability profile in wholesome volunteers and sufferers. Janssen is answerable for growth and are at present operationally executing each the Part 2 research and an open label extension research in epilepsy sufferers. Now we have important economics in our take care of Janssen with prelaunch milestones of €109 million, low double digit royalties on web gross sales and Janssen is answerable for all growth prices. As an example the synergistic impact seen with the mix of 149 and levetiracetam, the energetic molecule in Keppra, right here is the information obtained within the six hertz psychomotor seizure mannequin well known as having excessive translational worth to characterize the efficacy of anti-epileptic medication. As a reminder, ADX71149 given alone on this mannequin produces a sturdy safety in opposition to six hertz indecencies with an ED50 decided to be roughly 20 milligrams per kilo. Together research with various doses of levetiracetam, a hard and fast dose of 149 elevated the efficiency of levetiracetam resulting in an approximate 35 fold shift in ED50. Conversely, utilizing a hard and fast dose of levetiracetam with various doses of ADX71149, levetiracetam elevated the efficiency of 149 resulting in an approximate 14 fold shift in its ED50, suggesting a optimistic pharmacodynamic relationship or sturdy synergistic results for the 2 molecules when given together. This extraordinary impact of a mixture of an mGlu2-PAM with an SV2A antagonist has been patented, providing a robust safety for this program till 2035 with out extra extensions. That is the Part 2 research design. The research is a double-blind placebo-controlled proof-of-concept research enrolling sufferers with focal onset seizures who’ve suboptimal response to therapy with Keppra or Briviact. As talked about, the research has accomplished recruitment of 110 sufferers throughout two cohorts evaluating two doses. On this Part 2 research design, sufferers set up a 28-day seizure depend over a 56-day baseline interval previous to being randomized to obtain both non-affirmative or matching placebo. The first endpoint is the time taken to return to their month-to-month baseline seizure depend. The research has two components, half one being the four-week acute efficacy part and the half two being an eight-week upkeep of efficacy part. Half 2 consists of sufferers who didn’t attain their baseline seizure depend throughout Half 1 of research and proceed on their randomized drug or placebo. An open label extension research is ongoing in parallel, providing all sufferers the chance to get handled with 71149 together with levetiracetam or brivaracetam. As beforehand introduced in Might, an unbiased interim assessment committee convened by our collaboration accomplice rendered to proceed the research following assessment of unblinded knowledge from Half 1, affected person Cohort 1. This was encouraging information, suggesting 149 is protected and well-tolerated and doubtlessly providing advantages to epilepsy sufferers. We stay up for sharing the highest line outcomes of Cohort 1 and a pair of in Q2 of 2024. I now cross it over to Mikhail, who will replace you on the Dipraglurant and GABAB PAM program.
Mikhail Kalinichev: Thanks, Robert. Following termination of the event of Dipraglurant in PD-LID, we launched into the detailed analysis of a variety of potential indications of curiosity for future growth, together with substance use dysfunction, migraine and the opposite types of pay. Now we have accomplished this train and have recognized put up sturdy restoration as an fascinating indication for the gasoline growth of dipraglurant. We imagine the differentiated profile of Dipraglurant makes it notably appropriate for post-stroke restoration. There’s a massive unmet medical want in post-stroke restoration and rehabilitation. Stroke is amongst main causes of continual, usually lifelong incapacity because it results in motor, sensory, cognitive impairments and a number of comorbidities. There are over 100 million stroke survivors worldwide and the quantity is rising on the annual fee of 12 million. A wide range of rehabilitation therapies are used with post-stroke sufferers, however the restoration is sluggish and insufficient. There may be an pressing want for pharmacological brokers that may facilitate the restoration stimulated by rehabilitation therapies. mGlu5 receptor is an appropriate goal to deal with post-stroke restoration as it’s densely expressed within the mind, concerned in neuroplasticity and modulates excitatory-inhibitory equilibrium. In reality, activation of mGlu5 receptor has been noticed in a variety of neurological issues, together with stroke, the place it performs a job in maladaptive rewiring of the mind following stroke. Inhibition of mGlu5, however, can facilitate adaptive rewiring of the mind, selling neuroplasticity and creating of latest useful pathways shifting the neural community in direction of a pre-lesion state. Thrilling new proof lately revealed within the Journal Mind means that unfavorable allosteric modulator of mGlu5 receptor, MTEP, addressed day by day in rats following stroke ends in a sustained and rising enchancment in sensory motor operate compared to car therapy. Related enchancment in sensory motor operate was noticed in animals handled with our mGlu5 NAM Dipraglurant. MRI imaging of the resting state useful connectivity in post-stroke rodents exhibits that day by day administration of MTEP additionally stimulates intra-and inter-hemispheric connectivity within the mind disrupted by stroke. You will need to word that the advance in mind connectivity after stroke is thought to correlate with useful restoration and is noticed throughout species. Dipraglurant is ideally suited for use in tandem with rehabilitation therapies in post-stroke sufferers, and because it has a quick onset of motion and brief half-life. It has proven good tolerability in wholesome topics and in Parkinsonian sufferers displaying solely delicate to average CNS-related antagonistic results. Now we have drug product prepared, stroke patent place, and imagine Dipraglurant can develop into a first-in-class drug to facilitate post-stroke restoration. Let me now swap to our preclinical applications, beginning with our GABAB-positive allosteric modular which is partnered with Indivior. The intention of this collaboration is to ship a brand new therapy for substance use issues. Indivior is supporting the analysis at Addex and have lately dedicated a further CHF2.7 million, funding for us to finish medical candidate choice actions, along with CHF13.8 million complete funded to this point. As a reminder, GABAB receptor activation has been clinically validated in a variety of illness areas utilizing baclofen, a GABAB orthosteric agonist. Baclofen is an FDA accepted drug for therapy of spasticity and is extensively used off-label to deal with quite a few illnesses, together with substance use issues. Nevertheless, baclofen has a brief half-life and comes with important unwanted side effects hampering its wider use. Thus, there’s a sturdy want for a baclofen. We imagine this may be achieved with optimistic modulator strategy and their differentiated pharmacology having the efficacy of baclofen however longer half-life and improved facet impact profile. We’re properly on our solution to assembly this goal with a number of novel drug candidates quickly advancing by medical candidate choice part with the intention to appoint drug candidate able to enter IND-enabling research in 2024. As a part of our settlement with Indivior, we’ve got the correct to pick drug candidates from the funded analysis actions for our personal unbiased GABAB PAM program. Now we have chosen to focus our unbiased program on COVID. Subsequently, I’ll current this thrilling alternative. There’s a sturdy rationale for growing GABAB PAM for continual cough. Power cough is a persistent cough that lasts for greater than eight weeks and might be attributable to quite a lot of components, together with respiratory infections, bronchial asthma, allergic reactions, and acid reflux disease, but in addition presumably by an overactive cough reflex. There’s a massive unmet medical want in novel antacids medication as present requirements of care are ineffective in 30% of sufferers and solely reasonably efficient in as much as 60% of sufferers. As well as, the present remedies carry dangers of great unwanted side effects. Assist for utilizing GABAB PAMs in therapy of continual cough comes from the medical proof {that a} GABAB agonist is used off-label in cough sufferers and from the anatomical proof that GABAB receptors are strongly expressed in airways and within the neural pathway regulating cough. Subsequently, we imagine that GABAB PAMs may provide superior efficacy in cough sufferers. On the subsequent slide, we present that GABAB PAMs are more likely to have a superior irritability profile compared to the present requirements of care and present no taste-related unwanted side effects, as seen with a newly accepted P2X3 inhibitor GABAB PAM. Subsequently, we imagine that GABAB PAMs may very well be an modern new therapy of continual cough administered as soon as day by day through oral dosing and providing improved efficacy and tolerability with fewer non-responder sufferers appropriate for continual dosing, subsequently considerably enhancing affected person high quality. We’re working with a number of compounds progressing in late medical candidate choice part, and we anticipate to maneuver into IND-enabling research in 2024 in parallel to delivering compounds to our accomplice Indivior. I’ll now cross it again to Robert for an replace on our different preclinical applications.
Robert Lutjens: Thanks, Mikhail. Let me begin with an replace on our M4 PAM program as a possible novel therapy of schizophrenia and different psychosis. Schizophrenia impacts roughly 1% of the world inhabitants, and sufferers have been handled with the identical mechanism of motion for the final 50 years with restricted efficacy and important tolerability points usually resulting in therapy discontinuation and relapse. This house is seeing a serious breakthrough with the arrival of a totally novel strategy primarily based on activation of muscarinic M4 acetylcholine receptors. The current submitting of an NDA and acceptance by FDA to a drug-type xenominine, a nonselective M1/M4 agonist, and a peripherally restricted pan-muscarinic antagonist strongly validates the M4 receptor activation strategy. As well as, a Part 1b testing of emraclidine an M4 PAM optimistic allosteric modulator developed by Cerevel and schizophrenia sufferers confirmed an antipsychotic impact paving the way in which for our M4 optimistic allosteric modulator program. With out going into an excessive amount of element, the mechanism of motion of muscarinic M4 acetylcholine receptors permit us to scale back striatal dopamine tone with out straight blocking the dopamine receptors. The technique utilized by present antipsychotic brokers. This permits to retain a therapeutic impact with out the unwanted side effects of typical and atypical antipsychotics. Customary of care antipsychotics in addition to non-selective muscarinic brokers endure from important unwanted side effects, resulting in excessive therapy discontinuation fee. CAR XT represents a major step in offering a brand new therapy of schizophrenia sufferers, earlier than selectivity points should end in suboptimal tolerability. Our allosteric modulation strategy is offering many benefits over an agonist strategy, specifically with absolute receptor subtype selectivity, and with out the potential unwanted side effects linked to fixed receptor activation, corresponding to receptor desensitization and lowered efficacy attributable to tolerance. The intention of our M4-positive modulation program is to determine extremely selective and brain-penetrant molecules, providing potential best-in-class efficacy and tolerability. We’re at present engaged on extremely differentiated and novel chemical sequence recognized from our proprietary chemical library of small molecules with our particular allosteric modulation organic assays. Now we have made nice progress in optimizing compounds, figuring out extremely M4 selective compounds, demonstrating an impact in preclinical fashions of schizophrenia for a number of lead compounds and have now entered into medical candidate choice part, aiming to determine drug candidates able to enter IND-enabling research in 2024. On to our mGlu2 unfavorable allosteric modulator program for delicate neurocognitive issues related to Alzheimer’s illness, Parkinson’s illness and melancholy. This system has been awarded a €4 million grant to permit identification of a number of drug candidates to advance into IND-enabling research. Delicate neurocognitive dysfunction, or mNCD, is the stage between anticipated cognitive decline of regular getting older and the extra critical decline of dementia. Apart from being doubtlessly the early indicators of Alzheimer’s illness, mNCD can also be usually skilled by sufferers affected by — melancholy. Total prevalence is roughly 15%, and augments considerably with age affecting as much as 25% of individuals aged 80 or extra. Curiously, mNCD is at present seen as an intervention window for delaying the onset of dementia. There may be at present no public drug to deal with delicate neurocognitive issues. Some medication corresponding to acetylcholinesterase [Ph] inhibitors are being prescribed, however present restricted efficacy and include important unwanted side effects. There may be subsequently a robust unmet medical want for higher therapy choices. With out the main points, by inhibiting prenaptic mGlu2 receptors, our unfavorable allosteric modulators will counteract the synaptic deficits noticed in mNCD by rising the excitability of neural circuits concerned in cognition. This goal was additionally adopted with optimistic allosteric modulators of AMPA or AMPAKines, which a number of pharmaceutical corporations tried to develop with out success. AMPAKines appeared to induce class-related unwanted side effects, and we strongly imagine our mGlu2 NAM strategy will efficiently tackle mNCD with out having these unwanted side effects. Apart from being doubtlessly the early signal of Alzheimer’s illness, mNCD can also be usually skilled by sufferers affected by melancholy. Creating mGlu2 NAM provides the thrilling alternative to deal with cognitive impairment whereas additionally addressing signs of melancholy. Each pro-cognitive and antidepressant results have been demonstrated in related preclinical fashions with our mGlu2 NAM candidate compound. Our venture has been awarded a €4 million grant and has a number of drug candidates to enter [Indiscernible]-enabling research. Eurostars funds extremely modern initiatives to deal with unmet wants. Subsequently, we see this as a major validation of our venture whereas offering us with funds for 3 years. Addex will lead a consortium of extremely skilled groups with complementary experience to totally implement medical sequence, medical candidate choice part earlier than figuring out medical drug candidates to enter IND-enabling research by finish of 2025. In abstract, our drug discovery engine has made nice progress with a number of drug candidates advancing in direction of IND-enabling research. The renewed dedication of our accomplice, Indivior and the current award of a €4 million grant are additional validation of the standard and productiveness of our allosteric modulation platform. This concludes our ready remarks on the progress of our R&D applications. And now I hand it again to Tim.
Tim Dyer: Thanks, Robert. I will now swap to an summary of the financials. Beginning with the revenue assertion, we acknowledged CHF0.3 million of revenue in Q3 in comparison with CHF0.4 million in Q3 of 2022. Major income is analysis funding from our collaboration with Indivior. By way of bills, R&D bills had been CHF1.8 million in Q3 2023 in comparison with CHF2.8 million in Q3 2022. The lower of CHF1 million is primarily as a result of dedication of Dipraglurant growth in PD-LID in June of 2022. G&A bills had been CHF1.2 million in Q3 in comparison with CHF1.8 million in the identical interval as 2022. The lower of CHF0.6 million is primarily attributable to lowered share-based service prices and decreased D&O insurance coverage. The finance result’s primarily associated to overseas trade features on U.S. greenback money deposits and to a lesser extent to curiosity revenue. Out of the stability sheet, our property are primarily held in money and we accomplished Q3 with CHF4.8 million of money held in Swiss francs and U.S. {dollars}. Different present property quantity to CHF1 million and primarily relate to pay as you go D&O insurance coverage and retire advantages – associated to our settlement with Indivior. Present liabilities CHF1.9 million decreased by CHF1.4 million in comparison with December 31, 2022 and primarily relate to our R&D payables and accruals. Non-current liabilities of CHF0.3 million decreased by CHF2 million in comparison with December thirty first, 2022 and primarily relate to retirement profit purposes. Now to summarize, the ADX 71149 Part II Epilepsy Scientific Research accomplished recruitment of sufferers and high line outcomes are anticipated in Q2 of subsequent 12 months. We imagine the advice of the Impartial Evaluation Committee to proceed the research could be very encouraging and means that 149 may very well be having optimistic affect on sufferers. We proceed to imagine within the worth of Dipraglurant and are finishing preclinical profiling and post-stroke restoration. In parallel, we’re pursuing collaborative preparations to advance growth and stay up for sharing extra data sooner or later. Our preclinical applications proceed to make stable progress in direction of delivering drug candidates for future medical growth and vital therapeutic areas in stress-related issues, continual cough, cognition, schizophrenia. As a reminder, our portfolio was found in-house from our pioneering allosteric modulator drug discovery platform. And at present, we’ve got important mental property in all applications. Now we have a observe file of securing partnerships on the preclinical stage and supported top-tier traders. We acknowledge the 2023 inventory efficiency and present market capitalization could be very disappointing. Nevertheless, we’re having a number of enterprise discussions throughout our portfolio and strongly imagine that if we’re profitable in executing our near-term partnering technique, then our inventory worth ought to transfer to acknowledge the worth of our portfolio. This concludes the presentation and we are going to now open the decision for questions.
Operator: [Operator Instructions] Now we will take our first query over the cellphone and it comes from Leonel Delgado from [Indiscernible]. Your line is open. Please ask your query.
Unidentified Analyst: Hello, thanks for taking my query. So the query is, what can we anticipate if the epilepsy readout in 2Q 2024 is optimistic? So the query is mainly, what’s the fast implication for Addex in 2024? Thanks.
Tim Dyer: Sure, so thanks for the query. Effectively, the fast implications for Addex, properly, as you already know, Janssen is operationally executing the research. They’re answerable for financing the research. So Addex has little or no, properly, no management over the long run growth. And we’ve got very restricted visibility. Nevertheless, we imagine that the information that is been generated is obtained as a result of they’ve checked out two doses. So ought to the research be optimistic, then we’d anticipate this system to be moved ahead right into a pivotal research. However once more, we do not have visibility precisely what the plans of Janssen are with respect to future growth.
Unidentified Analyst: Thanks.
Operator: Thanks. [Operator Instructions] At this second, there are not any additional questions over audio traces, and we are going to proceed to any written questions. And so the primary query comes from the road of Peter Alick [Ph]. And the query is, €4 million, Eurostar’s grant, when will the cash be paid?
Tim Dyer: Sure, so sure, a few of that cash involves Addex, and a few of that cash goes to consortium companions. And we predict that cash to be, or a major a part of the cash that is allotted to Addex to be obtained by Addex fairly quickly. However we aren’t offering the main points of how that cash is cut up on the present time.
Operator: Thanks. The subsequent query comes from the land of Jesse Brodkin [Ph]. Within the IRB assessment of unblinded knowledge from 149, had been efficacy measures unblinded? Additionally, had been any adjustments in dosage made between Cohort 1 and Cohort 2?
Tim Dyer: Sure, so thanks for the query. Sure, so the unbiased interim assessment committee had some very clear steering from Janssen. And so they got clear steering that they need to advocate to cease the research if there’s a sure degree of cut up between energetic dose and placebo. And the truth that they, and likewise, in fact, in the event that they noticed any important questions of safety, then they needed to advocate cease. Now, the advice to proceed signifies that they will need to have seen at the least a sign of efficacy and no security, important security issues. Now, and that was Cohort 1. Now, what we all know is that Cohort 2 is the next dose than Cohort 1. And for this reason we’re very inspired by the mix of the advice to Janssen to proceed and the truth that Cohort 2 is the next dose. And now that they’ve accomplished recruitment, we’re assured of knowledge. I hope that solutions your query.
Operator: Thanks. [Operator Instructions] The audio system will simply give a second for the final entries. Thanks, women and gents. This brings the primary a part of our convention for a detailed. And I’d now like handy it again to Tim Dyer for any closing remarks.
Tim Dyer: Sure, properly, thanks everybody for attending the Q3 convention name and the company updates. We stay up for talking to you once more quickly and simply want you a pleasant finish of your day. Thanks, bye-bye.
Operator: That does conclude our convention for right now. Thanks for collaborating. It’s possible you’ll now all disconnect. Have a pleasant day.
