WATERTOWN, Mass., March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYPT), a company committed to developing and commercializing therapeutics to improve the lives of patients with serious retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, and highlighted recent corporate developments.
“2023 was an exceptional year of execution and results for EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. The highlights include positive data from our Phase 2 DAVIO 2 trial of EYP-1901 in wet AMDAMD, the continued advancement of our ongoing Phase 2 trials in NPDR and DME and the strengthening of our balance sheet with a $230 million oversubscribed financing in December along with the sale of rights to YUTIQ® for $82.5 million plus future royalties last May,” said Jay Duker, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. “The DAVIO 2 clinical trial for EYP-1901 achieved all primary and secondary endpoints, highlighting its potential to become a paradigm-altering maintenance treatment for patients with wet AMDAMD. We look forward to discussing our Phase 3 plans with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at a planned end of Phase 2 meeting this April and initiating the first pivotal trial in the second half of this year.”
Dr. Duker continued, “We anticipate topline data for the Phase 2 PAVIA clinical trial of EYP-1901 in moderately severe-to-severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in the second quarter of 2024. We are excited about the potential of EYP-1901 in NPDR, a chronic disease where over 90% of patients currently receive no course of treatment until they develop sight-threatening complications. 2024 promises to be another transformative year as we continue to advance EYP-1901 through clinical development across these three very significant indications.”
R&D Highlights and Updates
Announced positive topline efficacy and safety data from the Phase 2 DAVIO 2 clinical trial of EYP-1901 in wet AMDAMD in December 2023. DAVIO 2 met all primary and secondary endpoints with both EYP-1901 doses demonstrating a statistically non-inferior change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) compared to aflibercept control and a favorable safety profile with no EYP-1901-related ocular or systemic serious adverse events (SAEs).
DAVIO 2 Phase 2 data and sub-group analyses which underscore the favorable clinical profile of EYP-1901, were presented at Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2024 Meeting and at the 47th Annual Meeting of the Macula Society in February 2024.
The Company plans to conduct an end of Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2024, with the initiation of the first Phase 3 pivotal trial in wet AMDAMD expected in the second half of 2024.
Announced first patient dosed in the Phase 2 VERONA clinical trial of EYP-1901 for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). Topline data are expected in the first quarter of 2025.
Accepted to present at the upcoming 2024 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting in May. The Company will be presenting an encore presentation of the DAVIO 2 clinical trial results, the design and function of EYP-1901, plasma PK data of EYP-1901, and the mechanism of action (MOA) of vorolanib and differentiation from other anti-VEGF TKIs.
Recent Corporate Highlights
Announced the appointment of Ramiro Ribeiro, M.D., Ph.D. as Chief Medical Officer in March. Dr. Ribeiro joins EyePoint from Apellis Pharmaceuticals, where he served as Vice President, Head of Clinical Development.
Completed an upsized underwritten public offering with gross proceeds of $230.0 million in December. The Company sold 13,529,411 shares of its common stock, which included the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 1,764,705 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock were sold at a public offering price of $17.00 per share.
Review of Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2023
For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, total net revenue was $14.0 million compared to $10.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Net product revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was $0.7 million, compared to net product revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, of $9.9 million. The decrease in net product revenue resulted from the strategic exit from our commercial business in 1H 2023.
Net revenue from royalties and collaborations for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, totaled $13.3 million compared to $0.7 million in the corresponding period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to partial recognition of deferred revenue from the license of the YUTIQ franchise, which beginning in 2Q 2023 will be recognized over a 2-year period in connection with the delivery of YUTIQ supply units.
Operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, totaled $30.4 million compared to $54.3 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by the strategic exit from our commercial business in 1H 2023 and a one-time intangible asset impairment charge in 4Q 2022.
Net non-operating income totaled $2.3 million and net loss was $14.1 million, or ($0.33) per share, compared to a net loss of $43.5 million, or ($1.16) per share, for the prior year period.
Review of Results for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2023
For the full year ended December 31, 2023, total net revenue was $46.0 million compared to $41.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net product revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2023, was $14.2 million, compared to net product revenues for the full year ended December 31, 2022, of $39.9 million. The decrease in net product revenue resulted from the Company’s strategic exit from its commercial business in 1H 2023.
Net revenue from royalties and collaborations for the full year ended December 31, 2023, totaled $31.8 million compared to $1.5 million in the corresponding period in 2022.
Operating expenses for the full year ended December 31, 2023, totaled $121.1 million versus $141.0 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by the strategic exit from our commercial business in 1H 2023 and a one-time intangible asset impairment charge in 4Q 2022.
Net non-operating expense totaled $4.4 million and net loss was $70.8 million, or ($1.82) per share, compared to a net loss of $102.3 million, or ($2.74) per share, for the prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities on December 31, 2023, totaled $331.1 million compared to $144.6 million as of December 31, 2022.
