- Reports continued progress in the evaluation of assets for potential pipeline expansion in the areas of oncology and rare disease; transaction targeted for 2025 -- Provides updated and extended cash runway guidance into H1 2027 -- Management to host conference call today, August 14th , at 8:30 am EDT -
TEL AVIV, Israel , Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BioLineRx Ltd. (NASDAQ: BLRX) (TASE: BLRX), a development stage biopharmaceutical company pursuing life-changing therapies in oncology and rare diseases, today reported its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 , and provided a corporate update.
"Since our last quarterly update, we have been acutely focused on evaluating a broad range of potential pipeline expansion opportunities where we can leverage our clinical and regulatory expertise, and track record of drug approval success, to drive new innovation in areas of need," said Philip Serlin , Chief Executive Officer of BioLineRx . "Today, I am pleased to report that discussions with potential partners continue to progress. Our balance sheet is strong, our organization is lean, and we are seeing promising opportunities that fit well within our criteria - most notably a clear and efficient development pathway. I remain confident that we could potentially execute a transaction this year that will expand our pipeline and provide fresh opportunities for clinical success and long-term value creation."
Financial Updates
With $28.2 million on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 , BioLineRx is guiding to a cash runway into the first half of 2027. This represents an improvement as compared to the Company's previous cash runway guidance into the second half of 2026.
Clinical Updates Motixafortide Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (mPDAC)
Enrollment activities continue in the CheMo4METPANC Phase 2b clinical trial, which is being led by Columbia University , and supported by both Regeneron and BioLineRx . The CheMo4METPANC trial is evaluating motixafortide in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab and standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel). A prespecified interim analysis is planned when 40% of progression-free survival (PFS) events are observed. An abstract featuring updated data from the pilot phase of the ongoing CheMo4METPANC clinical trial was presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting in May. Key highlights include: - Four of 11 patients remained progression-free after more than one year.- Two patients underwent definitive treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer: one had complete resolution of all radiologically detected liver lesions and underwent radiation to the primary pancreatic tumor, and one had a sustained partial response and underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with pathology demonstrating a complete response.- An analysis of pre- and on-treatment biopsies revealed that CD8+ T-cell tumor infiltration increased across all eleven patients treated with the motixafortide combination.
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) & Gene Therapy
Ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating motixafortide as monotherapy and in combination with natalizumab for stem cell mobilization for gene therapies in sickle cell disease continues to progress. The trial is sponsored by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis , and results are anticipated in the second half of 2025. A second study, sponsored by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital , continues to enroll patients. The study is a multi-center Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating motixafortide for the mobilization of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) used in the development of gene therapies for patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
APHEXDA Performance Update
APHEXDA generated sales of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, providing royalty revenue to the Company of $0.3 million .
Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $0.3 million , reflecting the royalties paid by Ayrmid from the commercialization of APHEXDA in stem cell mobilization in the U.S. Total revenues in 2025 are not comparable to the same period in 2024, which included direct commercial sales by BioLineRx prior to the Ayrmid transaction in November 2024 . Cost of revenues for the second quarter of 2025 was immaterial, compared to cost of revenues of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. Cost of revenues in 2025 are not comparable to the same period in 2024, which included cost of sales from direct commercial sales by BioLineRx prior to the Ayrmid transaction in November 2024 . Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $2.3 million , compared to $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase resulted primarily from certain one-time costs associated with the PDAC study at Columbia University , offset by lower expenses related to motixafortide due to the out-licensing of U.S. rights to Ayrmid, as well as a decrease in payroll and share-based compensation, primarily due to a decrease in headcount. There were no sales and marketing expenses for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from the shutdown of U.S. commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 following the Ayrmid transaction. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $0.2 million , compared to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from the reversal of a provision for doubtful accounts following receipt of an overdue milestone payment from Gloria, a decrease in payroll and share-based compensation, primarily due to a decrease in headcount, as well as small decreases in a number of general and administrative expenses. Net non-operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $1.9 million , compared to net non-operating income of $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Non-operating income (expenses) for both periods primarily relate to fair-value adjustments of warrant liabilities on the balance sheet, as a result of changes in the Company's share price Net financial income for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.2 million , compared to net financial expenses of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. Net financial income (expenses) for both periods primarily relate to loan interest paid, partially offset by investment income earned on bank deposits and gains on foreign currency (primarily NIS) cash balances due to the strengthening of the NIS during the period. The significant decrease in financial expenses in the 2025 period results from a substantial paydown of the BlackRock loan balance in November 2024 , following the transaction with Ayrmid. Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $3.9 million , compared to net income of $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2025 , the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term bank deposits of $28.2 million , sufficient to fund operations, as currently planned, into the first half of 2027.
