ROCE Insights For Arbutus Biopharma
- Arbutus Biopharma (NASDAQ: ABUS) reported Q2 sales of $1.51 million. Earnings fell to a loss of $13.03 million, resulting in a 0.08% decrease from last quarter. In Q1, Arbutus Biopharma brought in $1.49 million in sales but lost $13.04 million in earnings.Why ROCE Is Significant Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed in a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth in a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share for shareholders in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q2, Arbutus Biopharma posted an ROCE of -0.2%.Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future.View more earnings on ABUSROCE is an important metric for the comparison of similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows Arbutus Biopharma is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will lead to higher returns and earnings per share growth.In Arbutus Biopharma's case, the ROCE ratio shows the amount of assets may not be helping the company achieve higher returns. Investors may take this into account before making any long-term financial decisions.Q2 Earnings Recap Arbutus Biopharma reported Q2 earnings per share at $-0.25/share, which did not meet analyst predictions of $-0.24/share.See more from Benzinga * Recap: Arbutus Biopharma Q2 Earnings * Earnings Scheduled For August 7, 2020 * Stocks That Hit 52-Week Highs On Friday(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

Arbutus Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
- Phase 1a/1b clinical trial for AB-729, a subcutaneously delivered RNAi agent, remains on track with results from additional cohorts expected in the second half of 2020 AB-836, an oral capsid inhibitor, remains on track for completion of IND enabling studies by the end of 2020Actively screening multiple new molecular entities in recently initiated COVID-19 research programCash runway guidance extended into mid-2022 Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 8:45 AM ETWARMINSTER, Pa., Aug. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on developing a cure for people with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as well as therapies to treat coronaviruses (including COVID-19), today reports its second quarter 2020 financial results and provides a corporate update.William Collier, President and Chief Executive Officer of Arbutus, stated, “Despite the challenging conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to make steady progress in our Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of AB-729, a subcutaneously delivered RNAi agent, and have recently initiated an additional AB-729 90 mg single-dose cohort in HBV DNA positive subjects. We also intend to initiate two 90 mg multi-dose cohorts in the second half of this year.”Mr. Collier added, “Importantly, in March and May of this year we announced positive preliminary results from this trial, and we look forward to providing additional clinical updates in the second half of 2020. We anticipate these updates will include data from 60 mg multi-dose cohorts with dosing intervals every four and eight weeks and 90 mg single-dose week 12 data in HBV DNA negative and positive subjects. We continue to believe AB-729 is a potent RNAi agent capable of reducing HBsAg plasma levels.”Pipeline UpdateAB-729 * AB-729 is an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic targeted to hepatocytes using Arbutus’ novel covalently conjugated N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) delivery technology that enables subcutaneous delivery. AB-729 inhibits viral replication and reduces all HBV antigens, including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), in preclinical models. Reducing HBsAg is thought to be essential to enable the reawakening of a patient’s immune system so that it can respond to the virus. * Arbutus is currently conducting a single- and multi-dose Phase 1a/1b clinical trial to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AB-729 in healthy subjects and in subjects with chronic HBV infection. * Preliminary positive safety data in single-dose cohorts of healthy subjects and safety and efficacy data in the 60 mg and 180 mg single-dose cohorts in subjects with chronic HBV infection were reported in March 2020. Additional follow-on week 12 data for the 60 mg single-dose cohort were reported in May 2020. The data demonstrate the robust activity of AB-729 and, at week 12, the 60 mg single-dose achieved equivalent reductions in HBsAg as the 180 mg single-dose and did so while remaining generally safe and well tolerated with no abnormal transaminase values in any of the six subjects. Mean HBsAg changes from baseline: 60 mg Single-Dose Cohort (N=6)180 mg Single-Dose Cohort (N=4) Day 29 mean log10 IU/mL (Standard Error of the Mean)-0.24 (0.13)-0.8 (0.38) Week 12 (day 84) mean log10 IU/mL (Standard Error of the Mean)-0.99 (0.24)-0.98 (0.22) * Arbutus is dosing two 60 mg multi-dose cohorts of subjects with chronic HBV infection with dosing intervals of every four and eight weeks, respectively. Arbutus is also dosing subjects in a 90 mg single-dose cohort. Results from these cohorts are expected in the second half of 2020. We also intend to initiate two 90 mg multi-dose cohorts in the second half of this year. * Arbutus has also initiated an additional AB-729 90 mg single-dose cohort in HBV DNA positive subjects with results expected in the second half of 2020.AB-836: Oral Capsid Inhibitor * AB-836 is an oral HBV capsid inhibitor. HBV core protein assembles into a capsid structure, which is required for viral replication. The current standard-of-care therapy for HBV, primarily nucleos(t)ide analogues that work by inhibiting the viral polymerase, significantly reduce virus replication, but not completely. Capsid inhibitors inhibit replication by preventing the assembly of functional viral capsids. They also have been shown to inhibit the uncoating step of the viral life cycle thus reducing the formation of new covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), the genetic reservoir which the virus uses to replicate itself. * In January 2020, Arbutus selected AB-836 as its next-generation oral capsid inhibitor. AB-836 is from a novel chemical series differentiated from Arbutus’ second generation capsid inhibitor candidate, AB-506, as well as competitor compounds. AB-836 has the potential for increased potency and an enhanced resistance profile as compared to AB-506. Arbutus continues to expect completion of IND-enabling studies by the end of 2020.Early HBV R&D Programs * Arbutus’ drug discovery efforts are focused on follow-on compounds for its current HBV pipeline, including the development of oral RNA-destabilizers that have shown compelling antiviral effects in multiple HBV preclinical models. Arbutus is now focused on advancing next-generation oral RNA-destabilizers with chemical scaffolds distinct from Arbutus’ prior generation HBV RNA destabilizer candidate, AB-452, through lead optimization. Arbutus also has several oral anti-PD-L1 inhibitors in lead optimization that are potentially capable of reawakening the immune response to HBV in infected patients.Research Efforts to Combat COVID-19 and Future Coronavirus Outbreaks * Earlier this year, the Company initiated an internal research program to identify new small molecule antiviral medicines to treat COVID-19 and future coronavirus outbreaks. Dr. Michael Sofia, Arbutus’ Chief Scientific Officer, who was awarded the Lasker-DeBakey Award for his discovery of sofosbuvir, brings extensive antiviral drug discovery experience to this new program. Arbutus has also joined forces with the COVID R&D consortium to further support and expedite efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, Arbutus’ COVID-19 research program will focus on the discovery and development of new molecular entities that address specific viral targets including the nsp12 viral polymerase and the viral protease. These targets are essential viral proteins which Arbutus has experience in targeting. The Company is actively screening multiple new oral molecular entities. The establishment of the COVID-19 effort does not impact Arbutus’ current cash burn guidance for 2020 of $54 to $58 million.Genevant Sciences Ltd. Update On July 23, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) announced their decision in Moderna Therapeutics, Inc.’s challenge of the validity of U.S. Patent 8,058,069 (“the '069 Patent”). In this decision, the PTAB determined no challenged claims were unpatentable. While Arbutus is the patent holder, this patent has been licensed to Genevant. The '069 Patent was included in this license agreement between Genevant and Arbutus. Arbutus is gratified by the recent decision of the PTAB, upholding the validity of one of the patents protecting Arbutus’ LNP technology that Arbutus licensed to Genevant. This decision reinforces Arbutus’ continuing belief in the potential of this technology.Arbutus is entitled to receive tiered low single digit royalties on future sales of Genevant products covered by the licensed patents. If Genevant sub-licenses the intellectual property licensed by Arbutus to Genevant, Arbutus would receive upon the commercialization of a product developed by such sub-licensee the lesser of (i) twenty percent of the revenue received by Genevant for such sublicensing and (ii) tiered low single digit royalties on product sales by the sublicensee.On July 31, 2020, Roivant recapitalized Genevant through an equity investment and conversion of previously issued convertible debt securities held by Roivant. Arbutus participated in the recapitalization of Genevant with an equity investment of $2.5 million. Following the recapitalization, Arbutus owns approximately 16% of the common equity of Genevant. Arbutus’ entitlement to receive future royalties or sublicensing revenue from Genevant remains unchanged.COVID-19 ImpactIn December 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread globally, has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and has spread to nearly every country in the world. The impact of this pandemic has been, and will likely continue to be, extensive in many aspects of society. The pandemic has resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to businesses. A number of countries and other jurisdictions around the world have implemented extreme measures to try and slow the spread of the virus. These measures include the closing of businesses and requiring people to stay in their homes, the latter of which raises uncertainty regarding the ability to travel to hospitals in order to participate in clinical trials. Additional measures that have had, and will likely continue to have, a major impact on clinical development, at least in the near-term, include shortages and delays in the supply chain, and prohibitions in certain countries on enrolling subjects in new clinical trials. While we have been able to progress with our clinical and pre-clinical activities to date, it is not possible to predict if the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively impact our plans and timelines in the future.

Moderna says patent ruling not to affect COVID-19 vaccine development
- An administrative court run by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday rejected Moderna's arguments to invalidate a U.S. patent owned by Arbutus, sparking worries over its efforts to develop next-generation vaccines, including a coronavirus vaccine. Moderna said the court's ruling relates to actions it took in response to "longstanding aggressive posture" taken by Arbutus against developers of nucleic acid-based therapeutics and began well before the development of mRNA-1273, its COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

Moderna Lost a Patent Case and the Stock Is Slipping
- What the decision handed down Thursday by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board could mean for Moderna (ticker: MRNA) isn’t yet clear, but the stock fell 9.5% on Thursday, and was down another 5% Friday in premarket trading. In a statement Friday afternoon, Moderna said that the technology used in its Covid-19 vaccine isn’t covered by the patent its suit had been brought to challenge. Moderna brought the case in January of 2019 against (ABUS) (ABUS), a very small biotech, arguing that its patent for the technology used to deliver messenger RNA to a patients’ cells was unpatentable.

How Moderna's Patent Challenge Loss Could Impact Coronavirus Vaccine Program
- Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA) shares came under significant selling pressure Thursday afternoon following an adverse patent ruling, and the stock is adding to the losses in Friday's session. Moderna Loses Patent Challenge: In an ongoing legal dispute, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ruled against Moderna's challenge to the patentability of Arbutus Biopharma Corp's (NASDAQ: ABUS) ABUS'069 patent.The '069 patent covers liquid nanoparticle formulations, or LNPs, meant for nucleic acid delivery, which is used by Moderna in its vaccine candidates.The patent describes the composition of nucleic acid-lipid particles and the ranges in which the different lipid particle components can be combined for effective delivery of nucleic acid sequence payload.Moderna holds four non-exclusive viral vaccine sublicenses of Arbutus-issued LNP delivery technology. Each one allows for the use of pre-April 15, 2010 LNP patent families and is limited to a specific viral target, Chardan analyst Keay Nakae said in a note. These sub-licenses would not be applicable to Moderna's mRNA-1273, the analyst said. Potential Impact On Moderna: The sell-side is in wait-and-watch mode as investors digest the development."This legal dispute has been an ongoing debate among investors, and today's decision is a disappointing turn for MRNA," said SVB Leerink analyst Mani Foroohar said in a note reviewing the development. The analyst initiated coverage of Moderna shares on Thursday. This could lead to a protracted period of investor controversy and debate around the implications of any potential infringement claims by Arbutus regarding Moderna's use of LNP delivery technology in its investigational vaccines, and any further actions Moderna may take to defend its own IP position, the analyst said. Discussions around the ruling will also involve IP and potential royalty/economic claims by Arbutus on Moderna, he said.Foroohar sees any meaningful royalty burden as hampering Moderna's pricing flexibility and margin versus other players in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine race.This could potentially aggravate downside implications should a HCV-like competitive pricing dynamic emerge, the analyst said. "We continue to watch this emerging dynamic closely, but do not explicitly model any royalty burden, settlement or other financial impact in our MRNA model at this time." MRNA Price Action: At last check, Moderna shares were slipping by 7.22% to $72.13 after plunging about 10% Thursday.Arbutus shares were down 7.9% at $5.71 at last check.

Moderna's stock falls the day after 'disappointing' patent ruling
- Shares of Moderna Inc. were down 4.7% in premarket trading on Friday, the day after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled in favor of Arbutus Biopharma Corp. in a patent dispute between the companies. Shares of Arbutus rallied 15.9% on Friday before the market opened. The decision may mean that Arbutus will attempt to make a royalty claim to products developed by Moderna's lipid nanoparticle delivery technology, which is currently being used to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. SVB Leerink's Mani Foroohar said the ruling is a "disappointing turn" for Moderna, and "any meaningful royalty burden could hamper MRNA's pricing flexibility and margin profile vs other players in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine market." Moderna is one of a handful of companies that have moved their experimental coronavirus vaccines into clinical trials, and it was the first company to release Phase 1 data about its vaccine candidate. Since the start of the year, Moderna's stock has gained 285.1% and shares of Arbutus are up 123.0%. The S&P 500 is up 0.1% year-to-date.

Moderna loses challenge to Arbutus patent on vaccine technology
- An administrative court run by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected arguments by Moderna that an Arbutus patent known as the '069 patent should be revoked because it described obvious concepts. LNP technology is crucial to Moderna's vaccine development efforts, and the patent ruling could increase pressure on the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based firm to pay for a license to Arbutus' patent portfolio, said Zachary Silbersher, a patent lawyer in New York not involved the case.

Moderna Faces Hurdle With Coronavirus Vaccine As Court Refuses To Invalidate Arbutus Patent
- Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA) has lost the bid to invalidate a key patent related to the development of several of its next-generation vaccines, including one meant for coronavirus, to Arbutus Biopharma Corp (NASDAQ: ABUS), Reuters reported.What Happened The Massachusetts-headquartered company's contention that the '069 patent, related to the technology for delivering mRNA vaccines, owned by Arbutus described obvious concepts was rejected by an administrative court under the United States Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday.The patent is supposedly related to lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology, which helps the human body create its own therapeutic proteins.A patent lawyer, Zachary Silbersher, told Reuters it was not clear if vaccines developed by Moderna, including the one for COVID-19, infringed upon the Arbutus patent, but efforts by Moderna to invalidate the '069 patent indicate that the biotechnology company sees it as an obstacle."At the end of the day, Arbutus might be able to claim a royalty in the [COVID-19] vaccine," Silbersher said.Why It Matters SVB Leerink analysts said Moderna is unlikely to see any immediate financial impact from the patent ruling.The pharmaceutical company can appeal the court's decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, however, chance of a success is limited. Several companies have reported positive developments on the COVID-19 vaccine, the latest being AstraZeneca plc (NYSE: AZN), which is working with Oxford University. Last week, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) said it was beginning late-stage human trials for its coronavirus vaccine, while two vaccine candidates from Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) and its German partner BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX) are also under fast-track development.Price Action The court's decision caused Moderna shares to drop nearly 10% to $75.33 and Arbutus's to surge by almost 120% to $6.20 on Thursday's closing.In the after-hours session, Moderna shares slipped by a further 3% to $73.09 while Arbutus shares gained 18.9% to $7.37.See more from Benzinga * Trump Administration Expects Coronavirus Vaccine Production To Start By The End Of Summer(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.

3 “Strong Buy” Penny Stocks With Triple-Digit Upside
- Given the troubling state of the U.S. economy, what’s driving the bullish sentiment on Wall Street? Stimulus.Among the bulls is chief investment strategist at CFRA, Sam Stovall, who estimates that the S&P; 500 will hit 3,435 within a year. From current levels, this would reflect a double-digit gain, and come in above the 3,393 high-point posted on February 19. Back in March, he even went so far as to call for a new high in the third quarter, but since then he has updated his forecasts.“We’ve had a lot of people compare it with the Crash of ’29, the Depression of the 1930s, etc. But back then, you had the government actually tightening their reins, balancing their budget — you did not have a reactive Federal Reserve,” Stovall stated. He added, “Who’s to say we don’t go for a retest first? That’s a normal situation. However, I don’t think we’re going to get an even lower low because of the stimulus already injected into the system.”To this end, risk-tolerant investors are looking to take advantage of lower share prices, which present more attractive entry points. What’s the advantage of stocks with bargain price tags, specifically those trading for less than $5 per share? Should these names, which are deemed “penny stocks," experience even minor share price appreciation, it can translate to massive percentage gains.Therefore, huge returns are on the table, but penny stocks aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Some argue that there could be a good reason they are trading at such low levels, and that the risk outweighs the potential rewards. Understanding the risk involved, we wanted to see if we could track down any compelling penny stocks in the healthcare space. Using TipRanks’ database, we pinpointed three that have received enough support from Wall Street analysts to earn a “Strong Buy” consensus rating. The cherry on top? All three of the tickers could double in the next year. Let’s dive in.Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MRNS)Focused on the development of neuropsychiatric therapeutics, Marinus is one of the top players in the orphan epileptic disorder space. Following a first quarter update on the company’s progress, Wall Street believes its long-term growth narrative is strong and that its $2.06 share price reflects the ideal entry point.As part of the update, management announced that the design and dosing for the RSE pivotal Phase 3 trial for its lead development candidate, ganaxolone (GNX), had been confirmed, with it set to begin in the third quarter. The co-primary endpoints for the trial are status cessation within 30 minutes and suppression for at least 24 hours, and it will be powered 90% to hopefully show 30% efficacy for GNX when compared to the placebo. Commenting for Oppenheimer, analyst Jay Olson said, “We view pivotal Phase 3 design as similar to positive Phase 2 trial while benefiting from longer dosing with 12 hours exposure vs. 8 hours prior. MRNS expects top-line data in the first half of 2022.”Additionally, the company finished enrolling participants for its CDD pivotal Phase 3 MARIGOLD trial, with the top-line data also slated for release in the third quarter. Olson argues that the discontinuation rate of less than 10% and high enrollment rate imply that tolerability levels are “favorable." The analyst added, “Pre-commercialization and NDA filing preparations remain on track despite COVID-19. We believe MRNS could have a substantial competitive advantage as a first mover.”If that wasn’t enough, Olson thinks the TSC Phase 2 open-label trial, which should start screening patients in Q2 and could see top-line data published in Q1 2021, could serve as a significant catalyst for shares. While COVID-19's impact on enrollment caused management to downsize the PRE Phase 3 VIOLET trial into a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in order to reprioritize resources, MRNS still has plenty going for it.“We view MRNS as well-positioned despite potential COVID-19 disruptions, with $77.8 million cash balance providing runway into 3Q21. We view MRNS's pipeline as attractive with multiple opportunities and several key near-term catalysts. We believe the current share price provides an attractive entry point,” Olson explained.To this end, Olson kept his Outperform call and $6 price target as is. Should this target be met, a twelve-month gain of 191% could be in store. (To watch Olson’s track record, click here) What does the rest of the Street think about Marinus’ long-term growth prospects? It turns out that other analysts also have high hopes. Only Buy ratings have been received in the last three months, so the consensus rating is a Strong Buy. In addition, the $5.50 average price target suggests 168% upside potential. (See Marinus stock analysis on TipRanks)Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (ABUS)With a diverse chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) product pipeline including direct antiviral, host targeting and immune-based approaches, Arbutus Biopharma wants to develop a cure for the condition. Currently going for $1.65 apiece, several members of the Street think now is the time to get on board as multiple catalysts are fast-approaching.On May 11, the company revealed that it plans to share further results from the week 12 portion of the 60 mg single-dose cohort evaluating its lead candidate, a GalNAc delivered RNAi compound, AB-729, in the second quarter of 2020.Five-star analyst Mayank Mamtani, of B.Riley FBR, points out that preliminary data from the Phase 1a/1b AB-729 HBV study showed an HBsAg reduction comparable to advanced RNAi peers, even though it enrolled difficult to treat e-antigen negative patients. As HBsAg reduction rose during the study, the analyst argues that this increases the chances of successful follow-up data.On top of this, ABUS has several ongoing preclinical studies that are progressing right on track, enabling it to advance its next-generation oral capsid inhibitor, AB-836, into the clinic in 2021. This goes hand in hand with the company’s research efforts to develop an oral HBV RNA-destabilizer and an oral anti-PD-L1 inhibitor. Expounding on this, Mamtani commented, “Building on learnings from the previously discontinued AB-506, AB-836 offers increased potency and an enhanced resistance profile with ongoing IND-enabling studies inclusive of a new assay to help better characterize the safety profile.” It should also be noted that ABUS is going to start working on a therapy for coronaviruses, specifically targeting RNA-dependent polymerase, nsp12, and viral protease, which play key roles in the replication and transcription cycle of COVID-19. Mamtani thinks this approach is promising as Gilead’s experimental COVID-19 treatment, remdesivir, is a nucleotide analog that binds nsp12, which inhibits viral proliferation and produces clinical benefits.Mamtani added, “Nsp12 has also been implicated in HCV, HIV, and, notably, HBV, areas in which ABUS has extensive antiviral development expertise. In concert with the biotech and pharma COVID-19 consortium, ABUS anticipates pooling resources along with leveraging primary screening and lead optimization capabilities to advance novel candidates against known and unknown targets, which works ideally as a pan coronavirus agent in order to also prepare for future outbreaks.”Based on all of the above, it’s no wonder Mamtani reiterated his bullish call. Given the $6 price target, shares could soar 253% in the next twelve months. (To watch Mamtani’s track record, click here) Turning now to the rest of the Street, other analysts are on the same page. With 100% Street support, or 3 Buy ratings to be exact, the consensus is unanimous: ABUS is a Strong Buy. The $5 average price target brings the upside potential to 198.5%. (See Arbutus Biopharma stock analysis on TipRanks)Geron Corporation (GERN)Last but not least we have Geron, which is primarily focused on the development of imetelstat, a small molecule telomerase inhibitor active in the treatment of highly transfusion-dependent MDS and r/r myelofibrosis (MF). While it’s very likely that the company will experience some delays as a result of COVID-19, the Street cites its promising technology and bargain $1.36 share price as making it a compelling healthcare play.Some investors have expressed concern regarding GERN’s announcement that it won’t be able to complete enrollment for the Phase 3 IMerge trial by 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19. BTIG analyst Thomas Shrader acknowledges that the delay will push back imetelstat’s approval and launch, which he now thinks will come in 2024 instead of 2023. However, he argued, “Geron’s patients are as desperate as they come in r/r MDS and AML and we expect data to date leave physicians and patients highly motivated to find something to try.”Further explaining the MDS opportunity, Shrader believes the program demonstrates robust levels of durability. Not only does the five-star analyst call the 24-week RBC-TI rate “highly compelling”, but he also highlights the strong safety profile.Shrader said, “Greater than 90% of patients with neutropenias and thrombocytopenias had these AEs resolve prior to the next dose. This reversibility is in contrast to both HMAs and Revlimid where these toxicities result in drug interruptions. A KOL recently commented that the high 68% HI-E response suggests most patients receive some benefit – making any subsequent trials very easy to enroll.”It should be noted that previously, its IMbark trial had a 32% discontinuation rate thanks to lack of efficacy, but Shrader thinks “these discontinuations may have been premature due to the drug’s slow onset of action and its ‘black box nature’ during the trial.” He added, “Based on increased understanding of how imetelstat works and its promise as a therapeutic, this discontinuation rate is likely to be low in subsequent trials.
