(Nasdaq: GTHX), a commercial-stage oncology company, today provided a corporate and financial update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. “Despite the impact of the ongoing platinum-based chemotherapy shortage, we continue to be encouraged by the mounting real-world evidence confirming the benefit of COSELA and the support of organizations like ASCO through their recent SCLC guideline update recommending its use; we believe these are indicative of the potential of COSELA,” said Jack Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of G1 Therapeutics. “Beyond that, our focus remains on establishing our leadership position in TNBC. As we approach OS readouts from our ongoing trials, including most importantly the interim OS analysis of our pivotal Phase 3 TNBC trial, there is palpable excitement among clinicians regarding the potential for trilaciclib to improve survival. If successful in the interim analysis, we look forward to working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expand the indication of this important drug." Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights Financial Recognized $10.8 Million in Net COSELA Revenue: G1 recognized total revenues of $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Vial volume grew 3% over the second quarter of 2023 despite the impact of an ongoing platinum-based chemotherapy shortage. Ended the Third Quarter of 2023 with Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities of $94.4 Million. The Company’s current financial position is now expected to be sufficient to fund G1’s operations and capital expenditures beyond the third quarter of 2024. Clinical Confirmed Expectation of Interim OS Analysis of Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trial (PRESERVE 2) in Patients with mTNBC in the First Quarter of 2024: G1 expects the interim OS analysis to be conducted by its data monitoring committee in the first quarter of 2024. If the trial meets the interim analysis stopping rule, it will be unblinded and G1 will report the top line results. If it does not, the trial will continue to the final analysis, expected later in 2024. If the results of the interim OS analysis are positive, the Company intends to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to discuss filing a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) as soon as possible in 2024. Reiterated Expectation of Timing for Initial OS Results from Phase 2 Trial of Trilaciclib in Combination with the ADC Sacituzumab Govitecan-Hziy: The Company expects to report these results in the first quarter of 2024. Phase 2 Bladder Cancer Trial (PRESERVE 3) To Be Concluded in the Fourth Quarter of 2023; OS Trend Favoring Trilaciclib Observed in Maintenance Phase: G1 intends to conclude the trial this quarter following the next protocol defined analyses of survival and report the results at a future medical meeting. PRESERVE 3 is a signal finding study designed to assess the potential additive contribution of trilaciclib to anti-cancer therapy, including in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor avelumab alone without chemotherapy during the maintenance part of the study. To date, an overall survival trend in favor of the trilaciclib plus avelumab arm in the maintenance phase was observed, suggesting a potential additive benefit when used in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor, which will inform future studies in G1's core areas of focus. Medical COSELA Recommended as a Myeloid Supportive Agent in the Updated ASCO SCLC Guidelines: Multidisciplinary panels of experts, including patient advocates, develop ASCO’s clinical practice guidelines. The SCLC guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations to practicing clinicians on the management of patients with SCLC. (press release here) Presented Four Posters During the 2023 ASCO Quality Care Symposium: These posters provide new real-world evidence indicating that trilaciclib administered prior to chemotherapy in patients with ES-SCLC lowers the rate of hospitalization and cytopenia events and may improve survival. In addition, multiple analyses indicate the consistent impact of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppressive events, including severe neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia, on patients with ES-SCLC being treated with chemotherapy as well as the resulting impact on healthcare resource utilization. The posters are available on the G1 Therapeutics website. (press release here) Announced New Publication Highlighting the Real-World Impact of Trilaciclib on Myelosuppressive Events in Patient with ES-SCLC: Real-world outcomes data from published and new unpublished studies indicate the potential of trilaciclib to reduce single and multilineage myelosuppressive events associated with chemotherapy, cytopenia-related healthcare utilization, and hospitalizations. This review of real-world experience with trilaciclib was published in Advanced Therapy. (press release here) Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $94.4 million, compared to $145.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Total revenues for the third quarter of 2023 were $12.3 million, including $10.8 million in net product sales of COSELA and license revenue of $1.5 million, primarily related to supply and manufacturing services from Simcere and patent and clinical trial costs reimbursed primarily by EQRx and Simcere, compared to $23.6 million in total revenues in the third quarter of 2022. On August 1, 2023, the Company received formal notice from EQRx of their intent to terminate the lerociclib license agreement as part of their proposed acquisition by Revolution Medicines, Inc. G1 received a payment of $1.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 for the remainder of the costs to wind down the lerociclib study. No milestones have been achieved through September 30, 2023, and as a result of the termination, the Company will not receive any further milestone payments or future royalties from EQRx. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $28.7 million, compared to $45.1 million for the third quarter of 2022. GAAP operating expenses include stock-based compensation expense of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. Cost of goods sold expense for the third quarter of 2023 was $3.1 million, compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in sales volume and a one-time inventory reserve for potential product obsolescence. Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $8.8 million, compared to $19.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily due to a decrease in the Company's clinical program costs. Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were $16.8 million, compared to $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to decreases in commercialization activities, personnel costs, and medical affairs. The net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was $18.2 million, compared to $25.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. The basic and diluted net loss per share for the third quarter of 2023 was $(0.35), compared to $(0.59) for the third quarter of 2022. 2023 Financial Guidance As a result of the ongoing shortage of platinum-based chemotherapy, G1 today lowered its full year 2023 net revenue guidance. The Company expects to generate between $44 million and $47 million in COSELA net revenue in 2023. G1's product revenue guidance is based on expectations for continued acceleration of sales performance of COSELA in the U.S. Webcast and Conference Call G1 will host a webcast and conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET today to provide a corporate and financial update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
