CRANBURY, N.J., Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PMV Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: PMVP), a precision oncology company pioneering the discovery and development of small molecule, tumor-agnostic therapies targeting p53 mutants, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, and provided corporate highlights.
“PMV Pharma has achieved important scientific, clinical, and operational milestones over the past quarter,” said David Mack, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Investigational New Drug (IND) application for our lead product candidate PC14586 was cleared by the U.S. FDA in September. We believe the capital raised to date will enable us to execute on the clinical development of PC14586, while also continuing to invest in our discovery pipeline of small molecule, tumor-agnostic precision medicine products.”
Corporate Highlights
- Received IND clearance from the FDA to initiate a Phase 1/2 study of PC14586 in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation. The Phase 1/2 study will enroll patients with a p53 Y220C mutation as determined by next generation sequencing. Phase 1 will evaluate escalating doses of PC14586 to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose and to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Phase 2 will determine the overall response rate and duration of response. For more information, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT study identifier NCT04585750).
- In October, the U.S. FDA granted PMV Pharma Fast Track designation to PC14586 for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have a p53 Y220C mutation.
- Expanded PMV Pharma’s management team and Board of Directors by adding Robert Ticktin as General Counsel, along with Rich Heyman, Ph.D. as Chair of the Board of Directors, and Laurie Stelzer, as Audit Chair of the Board of Directors.
- Advanced its R273H program, targeting a second p53 hot spot mutant, toward lead optimization, and progressed the Company’s pipeline derived from its proprietary discovery platform.
- Raised $70.0 million in a Series D financing round in July 2020 with Avoro Capital, RA Capital Management, and Wellington Management Company joining existing investors OrbiMed Advisors, Nextech Invest, Viking Global Investors, and Boxer Capital of Tavistock Group.
- Successfully completed an IPO at a public offering price of $18 per share, with gross proceeds totaling approximately $243.5 million.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
- PMV Pharma ended the third quarter with $373.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities compared to $101.5 million as of December 31, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $294.3 million compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Net cash used in operations was $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
- Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $8.8 million compared to $6.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
- Research and development (R&D) expenses were $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily related to increase in personnel, preclinical development, and IND filing of PC14586.
- General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
