RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G1 Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTHX), a commercial-stage oncology company, today provided a corporate and financial update for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“Since the start of 2023, we've focused efforts on our three core priorities of driving significant growth in sales of COSELA, executing on our four ongoing clinical trials of trilaciclib, and efficiently managing our cash runway through each of our data readouts,” said Jack Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of G1 Therapeutics. “We made good progress on all fronts during the first quarter of this year. The commercial team executed well, driving net COSELA sales growth of 18% quarter-over-quarter, and vial volume growth of 21%, as we work towards our guidance of between $50 million and $60 million in product revenue this year. Regarding the clinical pipeline, we've continued to move each of our trials forward, including our two Phase 2 trials in TNBC from which data are expected later this quarter, followed by results from our pivotal Phase 3 trial in TNBC which are now expected in the first quarter of next year."

First Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights

Financial

  • Recognized $10.5 million in Net COSELA Revenue: Results represent an 18% increase in net sales over the fourth quarter of 2022. G1 recognized total revenues of $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2023.

  • Achieved 21% COSELA Vial Volume Growth Over the Fourth Quarter of 2022.

  • Ended the First Quarter 2023 with Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities of $116.3 million.

  • Strengthened Balance Sheet Through Non-Equity Dilutive Monetization of Simcere Milestones and Royalties: In the second quarter of 2023, G1 and Simcere reached agreement whereby Simcere will buy out the remaining milestones and royalties on sales of COSELA (trilaciclib hydrochloride for injection) in Greater China for up to $48 million, with $30 million received within the second quarter of 2023, providing additional non-equity dilutive financing that secures G1’s cash runway beyond its clinical trial readouts. All other aspects of the strategic collaboration remain in place including participation and cost-sharing in global clinical trials. G1 retains the rights to trilaciclib throughout the rest of the world, other than Greater China.

Clinical

  • Provided Updated Timing for Initial Results from Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Trilaciclib in Patients with mTNBC; Interim OS Analysis Now Expected in the First Quarter of 2024: The primary endpoint of PRESERVE 2 is to evaluate the effect of trilaciclib on OS compared with placebo in patients receiving first-line gemcitabine/carboplatin. G1 now expects the interim OS analysis to be conducted by its data monitoring committee at 70% of events in the first quarter of 2024. If the trial meets the interim analysis stopping rule, it will terminate, and G1 will report the top line results. If it does not, the trial will continue to the final analysis.

  • Completed Enrollment in Phase 2 Trial of Trilaciclib in Combination with the ADC Sacituzumab Govitecan-Hziy: Enrollment is complete at 30 patients in this exploratory Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single arm study evaluating the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib administered prior to sacituzumab in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic TNBC.

  • Announced Upcoming Poster Presentation of Results from Trilaciclib Phase 2 ADC Combination Trial: Additional results from this trial in metastatic TNBC have been accepted for poster presentation during the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Breast Cancer 2023 Annual Congress. The abstract (201P) will be presented during the poster session on May 12, 2023 from 12:15PM to 1:00PM Central European Summer Time (CEST). G1 currently expects to reach the OS endpoints for this study in the first quarter of 2024. Initial Phase 2 safety data presented in November 2022 suggested an on-target effect of trilaciclib to reduce the rates of adverse events associated with sacituzumab govitecan (SG), including myelosuppression and diarrhea, relative to the previously published SG single agent safety profile.

  • Announced Upcoming Poster Presentation of Results from Phase 2 Mechanism of Action Trial of Trilaciclib in Patients with Neoadjuvant TNBC: Additional results from this trial have been accepted for poster presentation during the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Meeting. The abstract (603) will be presented during the poster session on June 4, 2023 from 8:00AM to 11:00AM CDT. Initial Phase 2 safety data showed favorable alterations in the tumor microenvironment from a single dose of trilaciclib monotherapy as measured by increases in the proportions of CD8+ T cells compared to T regulatory cells (Tregs) in patients with early-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). (Press release here)

  • Confirmed that Initial Results Including the Primary Endpoint of Progression Free Survival from the Phase 2 Bladder Cancer Trial of Trilaciclib (PRESERVE 3) Are Anticipated Midyear 2023: G1 has reiterated that additional safety and efficacy results, including results from the primary endpoint of Progression Free Survival, are expected from PRESERVE 3 midyear 2023. The Company currently expects to reach the OS endpoints for this study in the first quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $116.3 million, compared to $145.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

Cowen and Raymond James acted as joint book-running managers for the offering. Needham & Company and Wedbush PacGrow acted as lead managers for the offering.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2023 were $12.9 million, including $10.5 million in net product sales of COSELA and license revenue of $2.5 million, related to supply and manufacturing services with Simcere, royalty revenue from Simcere, and clinical trial reimbursements from EQRx and Simcere, compared to $6.9 million in total revenues in the first quarter of 2022.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $38.7 million, compared to $53.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. GAAP operating expenses include stock-based compensation expense of $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Cost of goods sold expense for the first quarter of 2023 was $1.5 million compared to $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in product sales.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $15.5 million, compared to $26.3 million for the first 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 first quarter of 2023 were $21.8 million, compared to $26.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to decreases in commercialization activities, personnel costs, and professional fees.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $27.6 million, compared to $49.2 million for the first quarter of 2022. The basic and diluted net loss per share for the first quarter of 2023 was $(0.53) compared to $(1.15) for the first quarter of 2022.
