  • Galera Therapeutics shares plunged by almost 85% after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company revealed its New Drug Application for its investigational therapeutic avasopasem manganese (avasopasem) for radiotherapy-induced severe oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing standard-of-care treatment was not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The company said that the FDA had informed it that the data from its Phase 3 ROMAN trial and supporting data from its GT-201 trial were “not sufficiently persuasive to establish substantial evidence of avasopasem's effectiveness and safety for reducing severe oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer.

  • Completed Enrollment of Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-controlled Trial of GC4419 in Combination with Radiotherapy in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer; Topline Data Readout Expected in 2H20 Phase 3 ROMAN Trial Remains on Track for Completion of Enrollment in 1H21MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galera Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary therapeutics that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, and provided business updates.“During the second quarter, we continued to advance the development of our small molecule superoxide dismutase mimetics in clinical trials evaluating their ability to address radiation toxicities and augment the anti-cancer efficacy of radiation,” said Mel Sorensen, M.D., President and CEO of Galera. “We were pleased to announce the completion of enrollment in our randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, adaptive Phase 1b/2a trial of avasopasem manganese (GC4419) in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). We expect to report topline data from that trial as well as initiate a Phase 1b/2a trial of GC4711 with SBRT in non-small cell lung cancer in the second half of this year. We also remain on track to complete enrollment of the Phase 3 ROMAN trial of avasopasem in the first half of next year and to report topline data from the ROMAN trial in the second half of 2021.”Second Quarter 2020 and Recent Corporate Highlights * In July, announced the completion of patient enrollment in the randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, adaptive Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of avasopasem in combination with SBRT in patients with LAPC. Topline data from this trial are expected in the second half of this year.   * In June, dosed the first patient in a Phase 2a multi-center trial in Europe assessing the safety of avasopasem in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing standard-of-care radiotherapy.   * Continued enrollment in the Phase 2a clinical trial of avasopasem to evaluate its ability to reduce the incidence of radiation-induced esophagitis in patients with lung cancer.   * In May, presented new data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2020 Virtual Scientific Program, which demonstrated statistically significant reductions by avasopasem on markers of chronic kidney disease due to concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation in a retrospective analysis of the completed Phase 2b trial for the reduction of severe oral mucositis in patients with HNC. As a result, the assessment of these markers has been incorporated into the ROMAN Phase 3 trial.   * In May, entered into an amendment to the royalty purchase agreement with Blackstone Life Sciences (Blackstone), which adds $37.5 million in additional funding to the existing $80 million royalty financing commitment that Blackstone (formerly Clarus Ventures) made in 2018. Under the updated agreement terms, Galera agreed to pay Blackstone up to a high single-digit percentage of future commercial royalties from the sales of avasopasem and GC4711 until the total royalty amount achieves an unchanged fixed single-digit multiple of the aggregate financing sum received, upon which the royalty terminates. As partial consideration for the amendment, Galera issued two warrants to Blackstone to purchase an aggregate of 550,661 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $13.62 per share, each of which will become exercisable upon the receipt by Galera of the applicable specified milestone payment.  * In April, announced the appointment of Linda B. West to its Board of Directors. Ms. West most recently served as Vice President for DuPont Corporate Planning & Analyses, where she led the execution of transformational transactions.Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights * Research and development expenses were $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to avasopasem development costs due to increased expenses in the Phase 3 ROMAN trial, additional clinical trials including the Phase 2a trial for the treatment of esophagitis in patients with lung cancer and the Phase 2a multi-center trial in Europe assessing the safety of avasopasem in patients with HNC, and costs associated with manufacturing scale-up activities. Employee-related costs also increased due to increased headcount and share-based compensation expense.   * General and administrative expenses were $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily the result of employee-related costs from increased headcount and share-based compensation expense, and increased insurance, professional fees and other operating costs as a result of becoming a public company.   * Galera reported a net loss of $(18.7) million, or $(0.75) per share, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $(11.6) million, or $(45.30) per share, for the same period in 2019.   * As of June 30, 2020, Galera had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $104.4 million. Galera expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with the expected payments from Blackstone in the amount of $57.5 million upon the achievement of certain clinical enrollment milestones in the ROMAN trial and the anti-cancer program in combination with SBRT under the amended royalty agreement, will enable Galera to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2022.About Galera TherapeuticsGalera Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary therapeutics that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer.

Galera Therapeutics Completes Enrollment of Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial of GC4419 in Combination with Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

  • Topline safety and efficacy data to be reported in the second half of 2020MALVERN, Pa., July 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galera Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary small molecule therapeutics that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer, today announced that it has completed patient enrollment in its pilot Phase 1b/2a safety and anti-cancer efficacy clinical trial of avasopasem manganese (GC4419) in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Galera’s investigational, highly selective small molecule superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetics are designed to rapidly and selectively convert superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. These dismutase mimetics have potential anti-cancer synergy supported by positive results in multiple preclinical models. The randomized Phase 1b/2a trial is evaluating the safety, progression-free survival and overall response rate of GC4419 in combination with SBRT, compared with SBRT and placebo, in LAPC patients. The trial is also assessing safety and tolerability to determine the recommended dose of SBRT when combined with GC4419 or placebo.“Pancreatic cancer has one of the poorest survival prognoses of common cancers and better treatments are urgently needed. Even when the disease is locally advanced, treatment options have limited impact on this difficult-to-treat cancer,” said Mel Sorensen, M.D., President and CEO of Galera. “This pilot trial is the first to evaluate the anti-cancer effects of our dismutase mimetics in combination of SBRT in patients. We look forward to reporting topline data from this trial in the second half of 2020.”Additional information on the trial can be found on clinicaltrials.gov using the identifier NCT03340974.About GC4419 (Avasopasem Manganese)Galera’s lead product candidate, avasopasem manganese, is an investigational, highly selective small molecule superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic that is initially being developed for the reduction of radiation-induced severe oral mucositis (SOM) which is not yet approved. Avasopasem is designed to rapidly and selectively convert superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, protecting normal tissue from damage associated with radiation therapy. Left untreated, elevated superoxide can damage noncancerous tissues and lead to debilitating side effects, including oral mucositis (OM), which can limit the anti-tumor efficacy of radiation therapy.Avasopasem is currently being studied in the ROMAN trial, a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of approximately 450 patients (NCT03689712, available at clinicaltrials.gov) to investigate the effects of avasopasem on radiation-induced OM in patients with head and neck cancer. In Galera’s 223-patient, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer receiving concurrent radiation therapy, avasopasem produced a statistically significant reduction in duration of severe oral mucositis (SOM) from 19 days to 1.5 days (92 percent) in the 90 mg treatment arm. Avasopasem also demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in SOM incidence through completion of radiation by 34 percent and in the severity of OM (incidence of Grade 4 OM) by 47 percent in the 90 mg treatment arm. The overall adverse event profile of avasopasem in the Phase 2b trial was similar to that of placebo and consistent with the known adverse effects of chemoradiation, with reductions of blood cell counts, particularly low lymphocyte counts, the most prominent adverse effects. Adverse events considered attributable to avasopasem were limited to mild, transient postural light-headedness or decreased blood pressure. Patients were followed for two years after enrollment and showed no difference in tumor outcomes between active and control, consistent with expectations for combinations with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)/cisplatin, suggesting that the efficacy of the chemoradiation therapy was not compromised.Avasopasem is also currently being studied in a Phase 2a trial for its potential to reduce the incidence of radiation-induced esophagitis in patients with lung cancer (NCT04225026, available at clinicaltrials.gov); and a pilot Phase 1/2 trial (NCT03340974, available at clinicaltrials.gov) in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations to avasopasem for the reduction of SOM induced by radiotherapy.About Galera TherapeuticsGalera Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary therapeutics that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer.

3 “Strong Buy” Healthcare Stocks That Can Double in 2020

  • Unphased by some risk? If the answer is yes, then healthcare stocks might be the way to go. These names tend to be more volatile in nature as a single catalyst like trial data or a verdict from the FDA can either propel shares upward or send them plummeting overnight.While the degree of risk involved can turn-off some potential investors, others are enticed by the possibility of sky-high rewards. Take Agile Therapeutics, for example. Shares popped over 200% after an FDA AdCom voted in favor of Twirla, its contraceptive patch.That being said, when it comes to biotechs it’s important to do your due diligence as not all names in the space are ready for takeoff. To narrow down only the most compelling stocks, we took advantage of TipRanks’ Stock Screener. The tool pointed us in the direction of 3 biotech stocks with huge upside potential from the current share price. We’re talking 100% or more here. If that wasn’t enough, we found out that the Street is also in favor of these names as each has earned a “Strong Buy” consensus rating.Cellectis SA (CLLS)Who’d have thought that editing our genes to treat cancer would become a possibility? Cellectis had just that thought. The biotech uses its innovative TALEN technology to edit the Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells taken from healthy donors to create “off-the-shelf” immunotherapy product candidates that could work for the largest amount of people. Even though shares have dipped year-to-date, some members of the Street see major growth in store.While the company did report a net loss in its third quarter, Wells Fargo analyst Jim Birchenough reminds investors to consider the progress of its CAR T-cell platform and pipeline. CLLS has three wholly owned clinical UCART candidates, with it recently administering CS1 CAR-T, UCARTCS1, in the first multiple myeloma patient in the MELANI-01 trial. In addition, the trials for the two other products are open for enrollment.All of this has impressed Birchenough, noting that the UCART pipeline is even more promising thanks to manufacturing changes. “Since the original UCART123 IND filing, CLLS has improved the reliability and reproducibility of the UCART manufacturing process and, for UCART123 these changes necessitated filing a new IND. While CLLS can supply several hundred patients from a single healthy donor, the company has manufactured several batches of each of its UCART products from several donors using the refined manufacturing process that accommodates inherent variability between donors,” he explained.As a result, the five-star analyst left the Outperform rating and $47 price target as is. Given this target, the analyst thinks that shares could soar 195% in the next twelve months. (To watch Birchenough’s track record, click here)Like Birchenough, Ladenburg Thalmann’s Wangzhi Li points to the UCART products as the key component of his bullish thesis. “We are encouraged that UCART-CS1 now dosed 1st pts, and UCART123 and UCART22 expect to dose pts in the near term. We see clinical data reports from any of the programs (likely in 2020) as key catalysts for CLLS story, and a clinical win could be a key to potentially unlock CLLS value,” the four-star analyst noted. To this end, Li reiterated the bullish call and $40 price target. (To watch Li’s track record, click here)Turning now to Wall Street, other analysts are on the same page. With 4 Buys and 1 Hold received in the last three months, the word on the Street is that CLLS is a Strong Buy. On top of this, the $42.75 average price target brings the potential twelve-month gain to 173%. (See Cellectis stock analysis on TipRanks)Personalis (PSNL)Also focusing on treatments for cancer, Personalis provides more comprehensive molecular data about each patient’s tumor. Since its June IPO, shares have definitely struggled, but the tide could be turning according to analysts.Kevin DeGeeter of Oppenheimer tells investors that he is especially excited about PSNL’s collaboration with Merck KGaA, arguing that it validates the ImmunoID Next platform’s immunophenotyping capacity in a research setting. Adding to the good news, the analyst cites the expansion of the number of ordering customers, specifically larger customers with multiple potential research projects, as driving possible customer base growth in the first half of 2020.This prompted the analyst to comment, “We view PSNL as a proxy for continued growth in pharmaceutical immune oncology research budgets and differentiated based on its complete focus on corporate and government customers (no clinical testing). We view this focus as a key asset supporting a premium product offering emphasizing quality of sequencing result and flexible menu.” Bearing this in mind, DeGeeter gave PSNL his stamp of approval, maintaining the Outperform rating and $26 price target. As such, the upside potential comes in at a whopping 155%. (To watch DeGeeter’s track record, click here)Meanwhile, Cowen’s Doug Schenkel did acknowledge that the VA-heavy mix poses a cause for concern. However, he thinks that the valuation still reflects a compelling opportunity, lending itself to his conclusion that the biotech is a good Buy. (To watch Schenkel’s track record, click here)What does the rest of the Street have to say? Looking at the 100% Street support, the consensus is unanimous: PSNL is a Strong Buy. While the $21 average price target is lower than DeGeeter’s estimate, it still suggests that shares could more than double in the twelve months ahead. (See Personalis stock analysis on TipRanks)Galera Therapeutics (GRTX)Making its market debut this past November, Galera Therapeutics is working on developing mechanism-based therapies for cancer patients. Given the huge unmet need that could be met by the biotech’s products, one analyst has high hopes.BTIG analyst Robert Hazlett highlights GRTX’s candidates that have the potential to not only protect patients from radiotherapy induced toxicities but also to enhance the efficacy of the radiotherapy itself as a key point of strength. Its lead asset, GC4419, is an IV superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic, currently progressing through a Phase 3 trial for use in the reduction of severe oral mucositis (SOM) in head and neck cancer patients who are undergoing radiotherapy.In Phase 2b, data indicated that the drug was able to cut the duration and incidence of SOM, leading to an FDA Breakthrough Designation for GC4419. As SOM occurs in about 70% of patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer, Hazlett sees a substantial material opportunity. “With nothing currently approved for SOM in head & neck cancer patients, we estimate GC4419’s peak revenue potential in this setting in the US is greater than $500 million,” he stated.It also doesn’t hurt that GRTX is evaluating GC4419’s ability to reduce esophagitis brought on by radiotherapy in patients with lung cancer. As enrollment could begin in the first half of 2020, Hazlett puts the peak potential in the U.S. at over $300 million.Based on this potential, it’s no wonder, then, that the five-star analyst initiated coverage with a Buy recommendation. At the $30 price target, shares could skyrocket 205% in the coming twelve months. (To watch Hazlett’s track record, click here)All in all, the rest of the Street also likes what it’s seeing. 3 Buys and 1 Hold assigned in the last three months amount to a Strong Buy consensus. Thanks to the $19.75 average price target, the upside potential lands at nearly 100%. (See Galera stock analysis on TipRanks)
