Collegium Reports First Quarter Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
CANTON, Mass., May 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Nasdaq:COLL) today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2016 and provided a corporate update.
The beginning of this year marked a major milestone for Collegium as we received FDA approval for our lead product, Xtampza ER, stated Michael Heffernan, Collegiums CEO. We are finalizing our launch plans and completing the training of our sales organization, as we prepare for a June launch. Collegium remains committed to supporting responsible, appropriate prescribing for only those patients suffering from pain who dont have alternative non-opioid treatment options. Xtampza ER will provide clinicians with another treatment option for these patients. We look forward to discussing additional details of our launch plans at the upcoming Investor Day.
Collegiums Investor Day will take place on Wednesday, May 25th at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City (2 East 55th Street). The meeting will commence at 10:00am ET. A webcast will be available and lunch will be served.
Corporate Update
FDA Approval
In April 2016, the FDA approved Xtampza ER (oxycodone) extended-release (ER) capsules CII, a twice-daily, oxycodone medication for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. Xtampza ER is Collegiums first product utilizing its proprietary DETERx® technology platform, and is designed to provide adequate pain control while maintaining its drug release profile after being subjected to common methods of manipulation, including chewing and crushing the product, prior to administration. The Xtampza ER label contains information supporting the administration of the product by sprinkling the capsule contents on soft foods or into a cup, and then directly into the mouth, or through a gastrostomy or nasogastric feeding tube.
Commercial Organization
Collegium has completed recruitment for its retail, institution, and long-term care sales teams and will have them trained and deployed for the June launch. As part of the planned Collegium Investor Day on May 25, 2016, Collegium will provide additional detail regarding commercial strategies, including sales, marketing, and market access & trade.
Litigation
In February 2016, the District Court of Massachusetts issued a final judgment in favor of Collegium and against plaintiffs Purdue Pharma L.P., The P.F. Laboratories, Inc., Purdue Pharmaceuticals L.P., and Rhodes Technologies. The judgment related to Purdues three Orange Book-listed patents asserted against Collegium that were the cause of the 30 month stay imposed on the New Drug Application for Xtampza ER.
Financing
In January 2016, Collegium closed a public offering of 2,750,000 shares of its common stock which generated net proceeds of $51.2 million, after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
Clinical Development
In May 2016, Collegium announced positive topline results from a comparative clinical trial evaluating the effect of physical manipulation by crushing of Xtampza ER compared with the abuse-deterrent version of OxyContin® (oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release tablets). The results of the study demonstrated the following:
· Crushed Xtampza ER capsule contents (microspheres) were bioequivalent to intact Xtampza ER capsules with similar Tmax, demonstrating that crushing the contents of Xtampza ER capsules did not alter the extended-release PK profile of Xtampza ER.
· Crushed OxyContin tablets were bioequivalent to crushed IR oxycodone tablets, demonstrating that crushing OxyContin compromised the integrity of the time-release formulation, transforming the drug-release PK profile from an extended-release profile to an IR profile.
In January 2016, Collegium began a clinical trial of hydrocodone DETERx, an abuse-deterrent, extended-release analgesic for the treatment of chronic pain. This proof of concept clinical trial is intended to evaluate the safety, bioavailability, and abuse deterrence properties of hydrocodone DETERx.
Publications
Journal of Opioid Management In March 2016, we announced publication of data on the in vitro assessment of IV abuse of Xtampza ER titled In Vitro Assessment of the Potential for Abuse via the Intravenous Route of Oxycodone DETERx® Microspheres.
Current Medical Research and Opinion In April 2016, we announced the publication of an analysis of the duration of effect of Xtampza ER administered every 12 hours during the Double-blind Maintenance Phase of a multicenter, 12-week clinical study titled Evaluation of the Durability of Pain Relief Throughout a 12-Hour Dosing Interval of a Novel, Extended-Release, Abuse-Deterrent Formulation of Oxycodone Oxycodone DETERx®.
First Quarter 2016 Financial Results
As of March 31, 2016, Collegium had cash and cash equivalents of $134.7 million compared to $95.7 million as of December 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 (the 2016 Quarter), cash and cash equivalents increased due to the net proceeds of $51.2 million from our January 2016 follow-on offering of common stock.
Net loss for the 2016 Quarter was $15.7 million, or loss per share of $0.68 (basic and diluted), as compared to net loss of $3.7 million, or earnings per share-basic of $0.34 and loss per share-diluted of $0.65, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (the 2015 Quarter). Net loss includes stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and $113,000 for the 2016 Quarter and 2015 Quarter, respectively.
Research and development expenses were $4.1 million for the 2016 Quarter compared to $1.4 million for the 2015 Quarter. The $2.6 million increase was primarily related to an increase in clinical trial costs of $1.7 million due to the initiation of clinical trials for Xtampza and our second product candidate, an increase in manufacturing costs related to Xtampza of $428,000 and an increase in personnel related costs of $356,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.5 million for the 2016 Quarter compared to $2.2 million for the 2015 Quarter. The $9.3 million increase was primarily related to: an increase in personnel related costs of $3.9 million primarily due to an increase in headcount, an increase in sales and marketing costs of $3.0 million primarily due to the preparation for the commercial launch of Xtampza, an increase in commercial costs of $871,000 primarily due to consultant costs related to analytics and strategies for commercialization of Xtampza, an increase in professional fees of $517,000 primarily due to recruitment and other professional fees and an increase in insurance costs of $286,000 due to directors and officers insurance.
There were 23,513,105 common shares outstanding as of March, 31, 2016.
Financial Outlook
Based on our current operating plans, Collegium expects that its existing cash resources will fund its operations into early 2018.
