GHENT, Belgium, April 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sequana Medical NV (Euronext Brussels: SEQUA) (the “Company” or “SequanaMedical”), an innovator in the treatment of diuretic-resistant fluid overload in liver disease, malignant ascites and heart failure, today announces its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2021, and provides a business update and an outlook for the remainder of 2022.
Ian Crosbie, Chief Executive Officer of Sequana Medical, commented:“We have made strong clinical progress throughout 2021, demonstrating the power and versatility of our alfapump and DSR technologies to improve the treatments for patients suffering from diuretic-resistant fluid overload in liver disease, cancer and heart failure.
“We reported further positive interim results in our pivotal POSEIDON study, and recently added the 12-month survival data. Together these indicate that the alfapump can not only dramatically reduce the need for therapeutic paracentesis and improve the quality of life for patients with recurrent or refractory liver ascites, but also the twelve-month survival compares favourably with the published literature. Having completed patient enrolment and implants, we are on track to report the study primary endpoint towards year-end. This study is an important step in bringing the alfapump to North American patients, our key growth market, and we currently foresee Premarket Approval submission to the FDA in mid-2023.
“The clinical story for DSR as a heart failure therapy continues to build. Topline data from RED DESERT demonstrated that repeated DSR therapy can safely manage the fluid and sodium balance in diuretic-resistant heart failure patients, as well as improve their cardio-renal status and durably restore their diuretic response. With this evidence, we progressed into decompensated heart failure patients in our SAHARA DESERT study, and the interim results show the ability of DSR to rapidly eliminate persistent congestion, in addition to the benefits shown in RED DESERT.
“We are making good progress with our proprietary DSR Infusate 2.0, a sodium-free dextrose / icodextrin solution that we anticipate to have a superior therapeutic and safety profile as well as robust Intellectual Property protection. Pre-clinical activities are underway to support its use in MOJAVE DESERT, a phase 1b/2a study in the U.S. evaluating short-term DSR therapy in decompensated heart failure patients anticipated to start in the second half of this year.”
2021 Highlights
alfapump in liver disease
- POSEIDON – Strong progress and derisking of North American pivotal study of the alfapump in recurrent and refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis
- Completed patient enrolment in December 2021, with 71 patients enrolled in the Pivotal Cohort.
- Reported a second interim analysis in July 2021 on 26 patients from the Roll-In Cohort, reaffirming the previous positive efficacy results and providing longer-term evidence of the reduction in therapeutic paracentesis (TP) and continued improvements in quality of life. Data from this Roll-In Cohort substantially exceeded the primary endpoints as defined for the Pivotal Cohort in the study1, demonstrating:
- over 90% reduction in mean frequency of TP versus baseline (versus primary endpoint of at least 50% reduction),
- all patients having at least a 50% reduction in mean frequency of TP per month versus baseline (versus primary endpoint of at least 50% of patients),
- clinically important improvement in quality of life maintained even up to 12 months post-implantation, and
- safety profile in line with expectations.
- Key Opinion Leader (KOL) event endorsed alfapump market potential
- Hosted a KOL event in July 2021 with two leading KOLs from the Mayo Clinic Arizona, Hugo E. Vargas, M.D. and Grace Knuttinen, M.D., Ph.D., who discussed the impact of ascites on patients’ quality of life and the limitations of current treatment options, along with their experience of alfapump implantation.
DSR in heart failure
- RED DESERT – Clinical proof-of-concept of repeated alfapump DSR therapy in diuretic-resistant heart failure patients
- Reported strong top-line results in May 2021 in eight euvolemic heart failure patients on high dose diuretics, demonstrating that alfapump DSR (i) is highly effective at safely managing fluid and sodium balance, (ii) dramatically improved diuretic response and the benefit was maintained in long-term follow-up, and (iii) significantly improved cardio-renal function.
- Following the six-week study, patients continued to be followed for up to 19 months2. All patients had a reduction in their oral loop diuretic dose ranging from 40% to 96% at their last visit within the follow-up period (9-19 months after last DSR treatment in the study), showing significant durability to the improvement in diuretic responsiveness following alfapump DSR therapy.
- Dr. Testani presented these results as a late-breaker at the European Society of Cardiology’s Heart Failure 2021 Online Congress and they were selected as one of the highlights of the Congress.
- SAHARA DESERT – Strong interim results of ongoing safety and feasibility study of alfapump DSR in decompensated diuretic-resistant heart failure patients with persistent congestion
- Reported positive interim results from six patients in December 2021. This analysis showed that alfapump DSR can (i) safely, effectively and rapidly eliminate persistent congestion and restore euvolemia in diuretic-resistant heart failure patients, (ii) considerably benefit their cardio-renal status, and (iii) dramatically improve their diuretic responsiveness for months post-treatment.
- Key DSR and alfapump DSR patents granted in U.S. and Europe
- Key patents were granted in the U.S. and European Union in January 2021, covering the alfapump DSR and its method of operation.
- DSR development programme on track
- Made strong progress in the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) and pre-clinical development work of Sequana Medical’s proprietary DSR Infusate 2.0, a second generation infusate with a superior therapeutic and safety profile as well as robust Intellectual Property (IP) protection to drive a high margin recurring revenue stream to accompany alfapump DSR sales.
- Expanded the DSR development programme with short-term DSR therapy (without the alfapump) to derisk the regulatory process, support faster adoption of the DSR therapy in the clinical community, expand potential market opportunity and target earlier entry into the U.S. market.
Corporate
- Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) certification
- Received MDSAP certification from Sequana Medical’s auditing organisation British Standards Institution (BSI) in November 2021, thereby expanding the Company’s Quality Management System (QMS) towards the U.S. and Canada within the scope of design, development, production and distribution of active implantable pump systems to transport fluids within the body.
- Jackie Fielding appointed as independent Non-Executive Director
- Appointed Jackie Fielding as independent Non-Executive Director of the Company, a former Vice President of medical technology company Medtronic and ex-head of their UK and Ireland business, effective as of 1 September 2021.
- €22.5 million raised in an equity placement
- Raised €22.5 million in February 2021 in an equity placement via an accelerated book building offering from existing investors and new local and international life sciences investors and industry experts.
- Cash position of €9.6 million at the end of December 2021, compared to €11.0 million at the end of December 2020.
Post-period events
- European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) certification
- Received MDR certification from the Company’s Notified Body, BSI, in February 2022, confirming that its QMS and alfapump system are compliant with the latest regulatory standards required for medical devices in Europe. alfapump is one of the first novel Class III active implantable medical devices to be certified.
- €28.4 million raised in an equity placement
- Raised €28.4 million in March 2022 in an equity placement via an accelerated book building offering from a new investor, Partners in Equity V B.V. and existing shareholders, extending the cash runway into Q2 2023.
- Completion of alfapump implantations in POSEIDON and encouraging survival data at 12 months vs. published literature
- Announced completion of alfapump implantations in the POSEIDON pivotal study in April 2022 and reported a preliminary interim analysis3 of patient survival in the Roll-In cohort indicating a 70% survival rate at one year post-implantation, comparing favourably to published literature of only 50% survival for refractory ascites patients after one year.4
Outlook for 2022
2022 is on track to be a landmark year for Sequana Medical with the primary endpoint read-out of POSEIDON, the North American pivotal study of the alfapump expected in Q4 2022 and the start of MOJAVE DESERT, the first U.S. study with the Company’s proprietary DSR Infusate 2.0 in decompensated heart failure patients, as well as other key value drivers throughout the year.

Consolidated statements of profit and loss
Revenue
Revenue decreased from €0.96 million in 2020 to €0.37 million in 2021 as a result of reduced supply of the alfapump for the European commercial activities due to lower manufacturing yield and the prioritization of the product supply for the POSEIDON and RED DESERT clinical trials in H1 2021, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on alfapump procedures in France and Germany.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold decreased from €0.20 million in 2020 to €0.08 million in 2021 which is in line with the decrease in revenue.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses increased from €18.53 million in 2020 to €22.91 million in 2021 mainly due to i) the preparations for the submissions for marketing approval of the alfapump in the U.S. and Canada, and ii) pre-clinical and clinical development work for Sequana Medical’s proprietary DSR therapy.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased from €2.32 million in 2020 to €2.08 million in 2021 due to the reduced European commercial activities.
Clinical expenses increased from €6.11 million in 2020 to €7.79 million in 2021 mainly as a result of costs related to the North American pivotal POSEIDON study of the alfapump, the RED DESERT and SAHARA DESERT feasibility studies of the alfapump DSR and pre-clinical development of the Company’s proprietary DSR Infusate.
Quality and Regulatory expenses increased from €2.23 million in 2020 to €3.22 million in 2021, mainly driven by costs related to the new Medical Devices Regulation (Regulation 2017/145) and Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) certifications as well as external advice costs for the preparation of the submissions for marketing approval of the alfapump in the U.S. and Canada.
Supply chain expenses increased from €1.64 million in 2020 to €2.72 million in 2021 largely driven by additional staffing for the preparation of the submissions for marketing approval of the alfapump in the U.S. and Canada.
Engineering expenses increased from €1.86 million in 2020 to €3.21 million in 2021, largely driven by external advice and staffing for the preparations of the submissions for marketing approval of the alfapump in the U.S. and Canada.
General and administration expenses increased from €4.42 million in 2020 to € 5.10 million in 2021 mainly due to costs relating to the equity placement in H1 2021 and additional staffing.
Other income increased from €0.04 million in 2020 to €1.21 million in 2021 largely driven by i) the termination of a distribution agreement by mutual agreement and ii) recognized income from Belgian Research & Development (R&D) incentives with regards to incurred R&D expenses.
EBIT6
As a result of the above, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) evolved from a loss of €17.77 million in 2020 to a loss of €22.61 million in 2021.
Total net finance expenses
Net finance cost decreased from €1.18 million in 2020 to €0.61 million in 2021, mainly resulting from the repayment of the Bootstrap loan in 2020.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increased from €0.16 million in 2020 to €0.39 million in 2021 largely caused by the increased activities in Switzerland.
Net loss for the period
As a result of the above, the net loss increased from €19.11 million in 2020 to €23.62 million in 2021.
Basic losses per share (LPS)
Basic losses per share increased from €1.25 in 2020 to €1.30 in 2021.
Consolidated balance sheet
Net debt
Net debt7 at 31 December 2021 improved by €1.64 million mainly as a result of the proceeds from the February 2021 equity placement.
Working Capital
Working capital8 improved by €0.33 million in 2021 compared to 2020, mainly as a result of an increase in accrued liabilities as well as other payables, partially compensated by an increase in inventory and other receivables and prepaid expenses.
Consolidated statement of cash flows
Net cash outflow from operating activities was €23.62 million in 2021 compared to €17.01 million in 2020. The outflow was mainly driven by higher net loss of the period.
Cash flow from investing activities resulted in a net outflow of €0.35 million in 2021, slightly higher than the net outflow of €0.14 million in 2020.
Cash flow from financing activities resulted in a net inflow of €22.44 million in 2021, mainly as a result of the proceeds from the February 2021 equity placement. In 2020, the net inflow of €22.63 million was mainly a result of the January 2020 equity placement and the new subordinated loan agreements concluded at the end of July 2020, partially offset by the repayment of the Bootstrap loan (on 16 July 2020).
The Company ended 2021 with a total liquidity position of €9.60 million (2020: €11.02 million).

About Sequana Medical
Sequana Medical is a commercial stage medical device company utilizing its proprietary alfapump® and DSR® (Direct Sodium Removal) technologies to develop innovative treatments for fluid overload in liver disease, malignant ascites and heart failure where diuretics are no longer effective. Fluid overload is a frequent complication of many large diseases – including advanced liver disease driven by NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis)-related cirrhosis and heart failure – with diuretic resistance being widespread. The U.S. market for the alfapump resulting from NASH-related cirrhosis is forecast to exceed €3 billion annually within the next 10-20 years. The heart failure market for DSR and the alfapump DSR® is estimated to be over €5 billion annually in the U.S. and EU5 by 2026.
The alfapump is Sequana Medical’s unique, fully implanted wireless device that automatically pumps fluid from the abdominal cavity into the bladder, where it is naturally eliminated through urination. DSR is Sequana Medical’s proprietary approach to managing sodium and fluid overload (congestion) through use of a sodium-free infusate administered into the abdominal cavity.
In the U.S., the Company’s key growth market, the alfapump has been granted breakthrough device designation by the FDA for recurrent or refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis. Interim data from the ongoing North American pivotal study (POSEIDON) showed positive outcomes against all primary endpoints, rapid and persistent clinically important improvement in quality of life as well as a mean survival probability of 70% at 12 months post-implantation (compared to 50% survival rate for refractory ascites patients in the published literature). All patients have been implanted with the alfapump and primary endpoint reporting is planned for Q4 2022. This study is intended to support a future marketing application of the alfapump in the U.S. and Canada. In Europe, the alfapump is CE-marked for the management of refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis and malignant ascites and is included in key clinical practice guidelines. Over 900 alfapump systems have been implanted to date.
Sequana Medical has combined its proven alfapump and proprietary DSR therapy, and is developing the alfapump DSR, a breakthrough approach to fluid overload due to heart failure. Top-line results of the RED DESERT study and interim results of the SAHARA DESERT study indicate that repeated DSR therapy in diuretic-resistant heart failure patients is able to safely, effectively and rapidly eliminate persistent congestion and restore euvolemia, improve cardio-renal status and restore diuretic response for months post-treatment. Reporting of top-line data for SAHARA DESERT is planned for H2 2022.
Sequana Medical is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium. For further information, please visit www.sequanamedical.com.
