Q1 2023 Earnings Conference Call

5/10/2023

spk13: Good day and welcome to the Addi Bioscience first quarter 2023 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. Instructions will be given at that time. As a reminder, this call may be recorded. Now I'll turn the call over to Marci Graham, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications at Addi Bioscience. Ms. Graham, please go ahead.
spk10: Thank you. Good morning and welcome to the Addi Bioscience conference call to provide an operational update and review results for the first quarter of 2023. Joining me on the call today is Scott Giacobbello, our CFO and Interim President and CEO, who will provide an overview of financial and operational activity during the period, including an update on our continued commercial progress, followed by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Loretta Itri, who will provide an update on our Precision I study and clinical development plans for 2023. We will open the line for questions at the end of the call following closing comments. A quick reminder that statements made on the call today will include forward-looking statements. Actual events or results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those set forth in the risk factors section of our annual and quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.addiebio.com. In addition, any forward-looking statements made on this call represent our views only as of today, May 10th, 2023, and should not be relied upon as representing our view as of any subsequent date. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. With that, I will turn the call over to Scott for his opening statements. Scott?
spk04: Thank you, Marcy, and hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us this morning to review our financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2023. We're off to a strong start this year as our performance continued to drive results and the first quarter closed out well. Our focus on successful commercial execution of FIARO for the treatment of advanced malignant pachoma resulted in sales of $5.9 million during the quarter, a 12% sequential increase over the previous quarter. The efforts of our commercial team to expand our reach and increase the visibility of 5-0 are driving our success in the market, and we are pleased with the continued growth resulting from their hard work. We look forward to delivering continued benefits to these patients suffering from this rare and now treatable disease. On the clinical front, today we will provide an initial update on our tumor-agnostic Precision 1 registration-directed trial for patients harboring inactivating alterations in TSC1 or TSC2 genes. This trial has the potential to significantly broaden the future application of Napsterilinus across many different tumor types and in a much larger patient population than we currently address in Vekoma, presenting an exciting opportunity for additional growth. We are encouraged by initial enrollment data on the types of tumors we are seeing in the trial, as well as the enrollment distribution in the two arms. Loretta will share further details on the conduct of the Precision 1 trial shortly. Beyond the Precision study, Initiation of the Phase I-II trial in KRAS G12C is expected to begin with first patient dosing in the second quarter of 2023. The study, in collaboration with Muradi Therapeutics, will evaluate the combination of adegraftin with nabsterolimus and is intended to determine the optimal dose and recommend Phase II dose in patients with KRAS G12C mutant solid tumors. Additionally, we continue to evaluate the potential for use of nabsterolimus and a number of new clinical indications, either as a single agent or in combination with other targeted therapies, with the potential for new clinical programs later this year. We are aligning for success on several fronts in a key executional year, building on the achievements of prior periods and are working hard to attain our goals as the year progresses. Before we review operational and financial results for the quarter, Loretta is up next to provide an update on our Precision I trial and discuss our ongoing clinical activity. Loretta?
spk09: Thank you, Scott, and good morning, everyone. Throughout the first quarter, we have continued to advance our ongoing Precision1 tumor agnostic trial in mTOR-naive patients with malignant solid tumors harboring TSC1 or TSC2 and activating alterations. Today, we are providing the first update on our progress so far. As a reminder, the trial is prospectively designed to evaluate patients in one of two independent study arms, one with solid tumors harboring TSC1, the other with TSC2. I'm pleased to tell you that the distribution of TSC1 and TSC2 alterations is exceptionally well balanced, and that the trial is accruing relatively evenly between the two study arms. We are also seeing a remarkably diverse mix of cancer histologies. with more than 15 discrete tumor types enrolled thus far, and no more than three of any one tumor type represented. This accrual pattern clearly supports prior observations that TFC1 and TFC2 alterations occur broadly across solid tumors. Additionally, sarcomas have no higher representation than any of the other common solid tumors, including breast and bladder cancer. Simply stated, we have a very broad representation of solid tumors and expect that the results will represent a truly tumor-agnostic outcome. Importantly, the safety profile we have observed thus far is very consistent with that seen in the AMPEX study, and no new safety signals have emerged to date in this diverse and heavily pretreated population of patients. Given the potential of this study to impact the treatment of a large number of patients with a variety of tumor histologies, we believe it is critical to preserve data integrity, including sponsor binding, in the way we conduct the trial and report results, particularly in the current regulatory environment surrounding tumor agnostic trials and accelerated approvals. We look forward to sharing further information, including efficacy analysis on PRECISION I, later in the year when response data will be presented in conjunction with a pre-planned interim analysis on 40 patients with appropriate follow-up. Enrollment in the trial is progressing well, and we continue to target full patient enrollment by the spring of next year, 24 months after the first patient was enrolled. As the study matures, Our partners at U.S. Oncology, Tempus, Caris, and Foundation Medicine are consistently working with us to develop novel methods to identify and support enrollment into our trial. And we are seeing benefit from the measures we have put in place during the recruitment process. We have continued to expand our broad outreach to the oncology community in order to increase the visibility of the study, including multiple presentations most recently at scientific meetings, including CTAS, SGO, and soon at ASCO, among others. We are very excited about the potential of this truly novel and important study and the promise Napsirolimus may hold for the treatment of a diverse group of patients in need. I will now turn the call back over to Scott for updates on our commercial and financial progress. Scott?
spk04: Thanks, Loretta. Commercially, we continue to make strong progress and are pleased to see steady product demand growth with the further adoption of FIARO for patients with the coma, and importantly, commercial access remains favorable with over 85% of lives covered. We achieved 5.9 million fit-in sales for the first quarter, which represents growth of 12% over the fourth quarter of last year, driven by the addition of new accounts and continuing account orders. We believe that our sales to date have been impressive, reaching more than $21 million in just 13 months on the market. At the end of the first quarter, we had more than 145 unique ordering accounts, up 21% from the prior quarter, with 26 of those accounts ordering for the first time. The reorder rate was above 90% in the first quarter, underscoring the positive clinical experience conveyed by HCPs who are increasingly viewing FIARO as the standard of care for the PECOMA patients. It is encouraging to see the consistent uptake in community clinics and hospitals representing approximately half of FIARO sales nationwide. Our team continues to execute in driving awareness and education in our efforts to cement FIARO as the gold standard for malignant PECOMA. As they do so, it is becoming clear that stakeholders understand the value and differentiation of FIARO for PECOMA patients. Our tracking shows significant physician awareness of FIARO with 65% overall and an impressive 80% awareness for those specializing in sarcomas. The feedback we are receiving is also robust and indicates that providers are readily adopting FIARO as a top choice for treatment of their patients. On the financial front, We remain well capitalized, ending the first quarter with $151 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, which is expected to fund operations into 2025 based on current plans. Research and development expenses for the quarter increased to $11 million as compared to $6.8 million in the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily related to the continued progress of the ongoing Precision 1 trial and the build-out of the R&D organization. Selling general and administrative expenses for the first quarter were $11.2 million compared to $9.1 million in the same period in 2022. This increase is due primarily to the build-out of company infrastructure and increased marketing expenses related to the commercial launch of FireOil. Net loss for the first quarter was $15.2 million compared to $13.9 million in the prior year quarter. For more information on our financial performance, for the first quarter, a detailed discussion of the results reported on this call will be provided in our Form 10Q. As I stated earlier, we are pleased with our overall progress, and we are really excited about what lies ahead. We are very encouraged by what we have seen from the initial enrollment data in the Precision 1 trial, and we look forward to sharing further information from the pre-planned interim analysis on 40 patients later in the year. Meanwhile, we will continue to build on the momentum from the first quarter as we focus on maximizing the clinical and commercial potential. It is our goal to further strengthen our ability to deliver therapeutic benefits to patients and to create long-term value for stakeholders by establishing ADDIE as a leading precision oncology company focused on delivering therapies that improve the lives of those who suffer from mTOR diseases. We can now open the line for questions. Operator?
spk13: If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1-1. If your question has been answered and you'd like to remove yourself from the queue, please press star 1-1 again. Our first question comes from Roger Song with Jefferies. Your line is open.
spk20: Great. Thanks for the update and taking our questions. A couple fun ones. So the first one relates to the initial enrollment data from your Precision Trial. Maybe just can you provide additional color around outside of what you've told us, the histology distribution and the balance between the TSC1 and 2, any other baseline patient population, like co-mutation or the stage of a disease prior therapy you can share with us? And also in terms of the later this year, the initial data readouts, what is the expectation for the follow-up in terms of the current enrollment versus the 40 patients, how confident you are you will have around 40 patients by the end of this year. Thank you.
spk03: Thanks, Roger. Loretta, do you want to take that one?
spk09: Sure. We are not really releasing details around the baseline characteristics of the population. I think it is fair to say that most of these patients have advanced disease, and we anticipated second and third line patients, and I think that will be borne out in the end. In terms of the patient population we will be reporting on towards the end of the year, we're very confident not only in the number of patients that we will definitely have 40 patients to report on, but also that there will be significant follow-up available for those patients given the accrual pattern thus far. I hope that answers your question.
spk20: That's perfect. Thank you, Loretta. Thank you. Thank you. And then, so in terms of the viral sales, Seems the first quarter, you have been pretty strong launch, I would have to admit. For the first Q, seems the growth trajectory a little bit slow. Maybe just give us a little bit kind of for context, given this is the first Q and the data related to the new account and the reorder seems still strong. How do you project the rest of the year and then maybe beyond how far around the sales will kind of attract. Thank you.
spk04: Yeah, sure. I'll take that Roger. So I would say first, I would think, you know, 12, we're pretty pleased with 12% growth in the quarter, right? I think that that's still pretty strong. You know, particularly in the first quarter of the year, which can tend to be slower than others. Also, I would say though, you know, the last few quarters, right, we had been growing at 20 plus percent. And I think that, you know, over time, as is typical with launch curves, those curves start to flatten, and particularly in the small indications such as PECOMA. So, you know, I think that overall we're really pleased with the growth. As far as what it's going to look like for the rest of the year, you know, we're not providing guidance, and obviously we're always challenged, I think, in PECOMA with the patient population somewhere between 100 and 300. But, you know, I think we'll continue to see, you know, we'll continue to see strong growth as we move forward.
spk19: Excellent. Thank you for taking our questions.
spk13: Thank you. Our next question comes from Joe Catanzaro with Piper. Your line is open.
spk21: Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking my questions. Maybe just two quick ones from me on precision one. First, Loretta, I think you touched on this a bit in the prepared remarks, but can you elaborate a little bit more on the data you received at this initial look? It sounds like you saw some details around safety, but Can you confirm whether or not you received any efficacy data? And then second, trying to think about timelines here. So precision one, ultimately expected to enroll around 120 patients. If you'll have interim data from 40 patients at around year end, how should we think about time to full enrollment and ultimately the full top line readout? Thanks.
spk09: Good morning, and thanks for that question. So in terms of the enrollment, we're sticking to our original statement that we believe we will be fully enrolled by the end of first quarter of next year, so a full 24 months of enrollment. And we are seeing the usual kind of hockey stick that happens with clinical trials, slow start, and then you see kind of an upswing, and we're in the middle of that upswing right now. As I stated in the previous question, we're very confident in our 40-patient enrollment with enough follow-up, which is a really important piece that I think sometimes gets lost. It's not just getting the patients on study. It's having enough follow-up to allow them to evolve their response, whatever that may be. So we're quite confident that we are going to be able to enroll as anticipated. I think you had another question. I'm not sure that I answered both of them.
spk21: Yeah, so you got the second question. I guess the first question largely relates to whether at this initial look, it sounds like you saw some data around safety. Did you see any data as it relates to or do you guys remain fully blinded on that sort of thing?
spk09: Yes. To be clear, we remain blinded to efficacy. The reason we know about safety is that it gets reported to us separately. So if there is a serious event, I would be notified as chief medical officer. So we are aware of any serious safety issues that occur during the study separate from the regular database. I hope that's clear.
spk21: Yep, that's clear. Thanks so much for taking my questions.
spk13: Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Boris Peeker with Cohen. Your line is open.
spk02: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. The first one I just want to ask on PECOMA epidemiology. Now that you've been selling drugs for a little while and you're starting to get a sense of the commercial uptaking curve, do you have any sense or better sense of what the actual market size is, or are you doing any work that would kind of publish and give us a more precise answer to that question?
spk04: yeah boris thanks for the question yeah i mean we're still working on that right we we've been out there now in months um and but the epidemiology that we have and as you know that the challenges we've always had around that um with not any real concrete information out there just the work that we had done was 100 to 300 patients i think what we can say is with the 145 unique accounts ordering since launch that we feel like we're north of the bottom end of that range. But I think we're doing, we still need more time out there before we get a better idea of where it's going to be overall.
spk02: Great. And my second question is, you mentioned multiple presentations at various meetings later this year. Can you more precisely elaborate exactly when and what?
spk03: Yeah, Loretta, do you want to take that one?
spk09: I'm not sure I understood the question.
spk02: The presentation I was just going to say the specific presentation and what medical meeting we should be expecting at.
spk09: We don't anticipate that these data will be presented at a medical meeting. It will be more of a corporate presentation.
spk02: In general, do you have anything, I'm not going to talk about Precision 1, but any other updates or any kind of medical meeting presentations you anticipate later this year?
spk08: Ongoing data.
spk09: We will be at ASCO. We will be having a TIF at ASCO. I'm trying to remember what else. We have so many different. I know that we're going to be at ASCO. I'm sorry. I just can't remember the nature of the presentations we'll be making other than the CHIP.
spk14: Great. Thanks.
spk13: Thank you. Our next question comes from Ahu Demir with Leidenberg. Your line is open.
spk11: Good morning. Thank you very much for taking my questions. I have three questions on my side. First one is on Precision 1. Lawrence, you did mention there are 15 indications enrolled. I was wondering if you could give us a sense if there is any predominant indication and perhaps a percentage number for endometrial cancers that was enrolled in the trial?
spk06: Good morning. How are you?
spk09: So, we are not releasing specific information, but you may imagine that there are not As we've publicly released, there are no more than three of any specific type of tumor enrolled in the study to date. So there's really not much to say. We do have representation of all of the major GYN oncology tumor types, the common ones, but there's... not a preponderance of any one type that I think we could draw a conclusion from.
spk11: Okay, thank you. My second question is on the clinical development plans. Are there any changes to what you plan to do in terms of additional combinational trials or other m4 tumors that you were planning to initiate? When are we expecting to see them, or are you going to wait for the Precision I interim readouts?
spk09: We do have a relationship with Merati, which I'm sure you're aware of. We anticipate that the combination study of Adagracib with Fayaro will happen this year. Stay tuned. That will probably be announced at some point in the near future. We do have several other studies that are planned. But we have not released guidance on that just yet. But there are some very interesting combinations that we will be exploring in the near future. But I'm really not at liberty to release the details. I'm sorry.
spk11: Understood. And my last question is on the commercial side. Scott, can you comment on the commercial efforts outside of U.S., Europe, or Asia?
spk04: Yeah, thanks for the question, Anu. Sure. So, you know, I think as we said previously, you know, we continue to still evaluate our options there outside of the U.S. And I think what we said is what we're looking at is just taking into consideration the Pacoma market and then also the implications that you could have of TSC-1 and TSC-2 coming down the road. So I think it's something that's still under evaluation.
spk14: Sounds good. Thanks for taking my questions. Thank you.
spk13: There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the call back over to Scott for any closing remarks.
spk04: Yes, thank you. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to join our call today. Obviously, we're very excited about what we have going on here at the company, and we look forward to updating you again on our progress soon.
spk13: Thank you for your participation. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Everyone, have a great day. Thank you. you Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
spk01: Thank you. Thank you.
spk13: Good day and welcome to the Addi Bioscience first quarter 2023 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. Instructions will be given at that time. As a reminder, this call may be recorded. Now I'll turn the call over to Marci Graham, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications at Addi Bioscience. Ms. Graham, please go ahead.
spk10: Thank you. Good morning and welcome to the Addi Bioscience conference call to provide an operational update and review results for the first quarter of 2023. Joining me on the call today is Scott Giacobbello, our CFO and Interim President and CEO, who will provide an overview of financial and operational activity during the period, including an update on our continued commercial progress, followed by our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Loretta Itri, who will provide an update on our Precision I study and clinical development plans for 2023. We will open the line for questions at the end of the call following closing comments. A quick reminder that statements made on the call today will include forward-looking statements. Actual events or results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those set forth in the risk factors section of our annual and quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.addiebio.com. In addition, any forward-looking statements made on this call represent our views only as of today, May 10th, 2023, and should not be relied upon as representing our view as of any subsequent date. We specifically disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. With that, I will turn the call over to Scott for his opening statements. Scott?
spk04: Thank you, Marcy, and hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us this morning to review our financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2023. We're off to a strong start this year as our performance continued to drive results and the first quarter closed out well. Our focus on successful commercial execution of FIARO for the treatment of advanced malignant pachoma resulted in sales of $5.9 million during the quarter, a 12% sequential increase over the previous quarter. The efforts of our commercial team to expand our reach and increase the visibility of 5-0 are driving our success in the market, and we are pleased with the continued growth resulting from their hard work. We look forward to delivering continued benefits to these patients suffering from this rare and now treatable disease. On the clinical front, today we will provide an initial update on our tumor-agnostic Precision 1 registration-directed trial for patients harboring inactivating alterations in TSC1 or TSC2 genes. This trial has the potential to significantly broaden the future application of NABS-serolimus across many different tumor types and in a much larger patient population than we currently address in Pacoma, presenting an exciting opportunity for additional growth. We are encouraged by initial enrollment data on the types of tumors we are seeing in the trial, as well as the enrollment distribution in the two arms. Loretta will share further details on the conduct of the Precision I trial shortly. Beyond the Precision study, Initiation of the Phase I-II trial in KRAS G12C is expected to begin with first patient dosing in the second quarter of 2023. The study, in collaboration with Muradi Therapeutics, will evaluate the combination of adegraftin with nabsterolimus and is intended to determine the optimal dose and recommend Phase II dose in patients with KRAS G12C mutant solid tumors. Additionally, we continue to evaluate the potential for use of nabsterolimus and a number of new clinical indications, either as a single agent or in combination with other targeted therapies, with the potential for new clinical programs later this year. We are aligning for success on several fronts in a key executional year, building on the achievements of prior periods and are working hard to attain our goals as the year progresses. Before we review operational and financial results for the quarter, Loretta is up next to provide an update on our Precision I trial and discuss our ongoing clinical activity. Loretta?
spk09: Thank you, Scott, and good morning, everyone. Throughout the first quarter, we have continued to advance our ongoing Precision1 tumor agnostic trial in mTOR-naive patients with malignant solid tumors harboring TSC1 or TSC2 and activating alterations. Today, we are providing the first update on our progress so far. As a reminder, the trial is prospectively designed to evaluate patients in one of two independent study arms, one with solid tumors harboring TSC1, the other with TSC2. I'm pleased to tell you that the distribution of TSC1 and TSC2 alterations is exceptionally well balanced, and that the trial is accruing relatively evenly between the two study arms. We are also seeing a remarkably diverse mix of cancer histologies. with more than 15 discrete tumor types enrolled thus far, and no more than three of any one tumor type represented. This accrual pattern clearly supports prior observations that TFC1 and TFC2 alterations occur broadly across solid tumors. Additionally, sarcomas have no higher representation than any of the other common solid tumors, including breast and bladder cancer. Simply stated, we have a very broad representation of solid tumors and expect that the results will represent a truly tumor-agnostic outcome. Importantly, the safety profile we have observed thus far is very consistent with that seen in the AMPEX study, and no new safety signals have emerged to date in this diverse and heavily pretreated population of patients.

We look forward to sharing further information, including efficacy analysis on precision one, later in the year when response data will be presented in conjunction with a pre-planned interim analysis on 40 patients with appropriate follow-up. Enrollment in the trial is progressing well, and we continue to target full patient enrollment by the spring of next year, 24 months after the first patient was enrolled. As the study matures, our partners at U.S. Oncology, Tempus, Caris, and Foundation Medicine are consistently working with us to develop novel methods to identify and support enrollment into our trial.

We have continued to expand our broad outreach to the oncology community in order to increase the visibility of the study, including multiple presentations most recently at scientific meetings, including CTAS, SGO, and soon at ASCO, among others. We are very excited about the potential of this truly novel and important study and the promise Napsirolimus may hold for the treatment of a diverse group of patients in need. I will now turn the call back over to Scott for updates on our commercial and financial progress. Scott?
spk04: Thanks, Loretta. Commercially, we continue to make strong progress and are pleased to see steady product demand growth with the further adoption of FIARO for patients with the coma, and importantly, commercial access remains favorable with over 85% of lives covered. We achieved 5.9 million fit-in sales for the first quarter, which represents growth of 12% over the fourth quarter of last year, driven by the addition of new accounts and continuing account orders. We believe that our sales to date have been impressive, reaching more than $21 million in just 13 months on the market. At the end of the first quarter, we had more than 145 unique ordering accounts, up 21% from the prior quarter, with 26 of those accounts ordering for the first time. The reorder rate was above 90% in the first quarter, underscoring the positive clinical experience conveyed by HCPs who are increasingly viewing FIARO as the standard of care for the PECOMA patients.

On the financial front, We remain well capitalized, ending the first quarter with $151 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, which is expected to fund operations into 2025 based on current plans. Research and development expenses for the quarter increased to $11 million as compared to $6.8 million in the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily related to the continued progress of the ongoing Precision 1 trial and the build-out of the R&D organization. Selling general and administrative expenses for the first quarter were $11.2 million compared to $9.1 million in the same period in 2022. This increase is due primarily to the build-out of company infrastructure and increased marketing expenses related to the commercial launch of FireOil. Net loss for the first quarter was $15.2 million compared to $13.9 million in the prior year quarter. For more information on our financial performance, for the first quarter, a detailed discussion of the results reported on this call will be provided in our Form 10Q. As I stated earlier, we are pleased with our overall progress, and we are really excited about what lies ahead. We are very encouraged by what we have seen from the initial enrollment data in the Precision 1 trial, and we look forward to sharing further information from the pre-planned interim analysis on 40 patients later in the year. Meanwhile, we will continue to build on the momentum from the first quarter as we focus on maximizing the clinical and commercial potential at Biara. It is our goal to further strengthen our ability to deliver therapeutic benefits to patients and to create long-term value for stakeholders by establishing Addi as a leading precision oncology company focused on delivering therapies that improve the lives of those who suffer from mTOR diseases. We can now open the line for questions. Operator?
spk13: If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1-1. If your question has been answered and you'd like to remove yourself from the queue, please press star 1-1 again. Our first question comes from Roger Song with Jefferies. Your line is open.
spk20: Great. Thanks for the update and taking our questions. A couple from us. So the first one relates to the initial enrollment data from your Precision Trial. Maybe just can you provide additional color around outside of what you've told us, the histology distribution and the balance between the TSC1 and 2, any other baseline patient population, like co-mutation or the stage of a disease prior therapy you can share with us?

I hope that answers your question.
spk20: That's perfect. Thank you, Loretta. Thank you. Thank you. And then, so in terms of the viral sales, Seems the first quarter, you have been pretty strong launch, I would have to admit. For the first Q, seems the growth trajectory a little bit slow. Maybe just give us a little bit kind of for context, given this is the first Q, and the data related to the new account and the reorder seems still strong. How do you project the rest of the year and then maybe beyond how far around the sales will kind of attract. Thank you.
spk04: Yeah, sure. I'll take that Roger. So I would say first, I would think, you know, 12, we're pretty pleased with 12% growth in the quarter, right? I think that that's still pretty strong. You know, particularly in the first quarter of the year, which can tend to be slower than others. Also, I would say though, you know, the last few quarters, right, we had been growing at 20 plus percent. And I think that, you know, over time, as is typical with launch curves, those curves start to flatten, and particularly in the small indications such as PECOMA. So, you know, I think that overall we're really pleased with the growth. As far as what it's going to look like for the rest of the year, you know, we're not providing guidance, and obviously we're always challenged, I think, in PECOMA with the patient population somewhere between 100 and 300. But, you know, I think we'll continue to see, you know, we'll continue to see strong growth as we move forward.
spk19: Excellent. Thank you for taking all the questions.
spk13: Thank you. Our next question comes from Joe Catanzaro with Piper. Your line is open.
spk21: Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking my questions. Maybe just two quick ones from me on precision one. First, Loretta, I think you touched on this a bit in the prepared remarks, but can you elaborate a little bit more on the data you received at this initial look? It sounds like you saw some details around safety, but Can you confirm whether or not you received any efficacy data? And then second, trying to think about timelines here. So precision one, ultimately expected to enroll around 120 patients. If you'll have interim data from 40 patients at around year end, how should we think about time to full enrollment and ultimately the full top line readout? Thanks.
spk09: Good morning and thanks for that question. So in terms of the enrollment, we're sticking to our original statement that we believe we will be fully enrolled by the end of first quarter of next year, so a full 24 months of enrollment. And we are seeing the usual kind of hockey stick that happens with clinical trials, slow start, and then you see kind of an upswing, and we're in the middle of that upswing right now. As I stated in the previous question, we're very confident in our 40-patient enrollment with enough follow-up, which is a really important piece that I think sometimes gets lost. It's not just getting the patients on study. It's having enough follow-up to allow them to evolve their response, whatever that may be. So we're quite confident that we are going to be able to enroll as anticipated. I think you had another question. I'm not sure that I answered both of them.
spk21: Yeah, so you got the second question. I guess the first question largely relates to whether at this initial look, it sounds like you saw some data around safety. Did you see any data as it relates to efficacy or do you guys remain fully blinded on that sort of thing?
spk09: Yes. To be clear, we remain blinded to efficacy. The reason we know about safety is that it gets reported to us separately. So if there is a serious event, I would be notified as chief medical officer. So we are aware of any serious safety issues that occur during the study separate from the regular database. I hope that's clear.
spk21: Yep, that's clear. Thanks so much for taking my questions.
spk13: Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from Boris Peeker with Cohen. Your line is open.
spk02: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. The first one I just want to ask on PECOMA epidemiology. Now that you've been selling drugs for a little while and you're starting to get a sense of the commercial uptaking curve, do you have any sense or better sense of what the actual market size is, or are you doing any work that would kind of publish and give us a more precise answer to that question?
spk04: Yeah, Boris, thanks for the question. Yeah, I mean, we're still working on that, right? We've been out there now a few months, but the epidemiology that we have, and as you know, the challenges we've always had around that, with not any real concrete information out there, just the work that we had done was 100 to 300 patients. I think what we can say is with the 145 unique accounts ordering since launch that we feel like we're north of the bottom end of that range. But I think we're doing, we still need more time out there before we get a better idea of where it's going to be overall.
spk02: Great. And my second question is, you mentioned multiple presentations at various meetings later this year. Can you more precisely elaborate exactly when and what?
spk03: Yeah, Loretta, do you want to take that one?
spk09: I'm not sure I understood the question.
spk02: The presentation I was just going to say the specific presentation and what medical meeting we should be expecting it at.
spk09: We don't anticipate that these data will be presented at a medical meeting. It will be more of a corporate presentation.
spk02: In general, do you have anything, I'm not talking about Precision 1, but any other updates or any kind of medical meeting presentations you anticipate later this year?
spk08: Ongoing data.
spk09: We will be at ASCO. We will be having a TIF at ASCO. I'm trying to remember what else. We have so many different. I know that we're going to be at ASCO. I'm sorry. I just can't remember the nature of the presentations we'll be making other than the CHIP.
spk02: Great. Thanks.
spk13: Thank you. Our next question comes from Ahu Demir with Leidenberg. Your line is open.
spk11: Good morning. Thank you very much for taking my questions. I have three questions on my side. First one is on Precision 1. Lawrence, you did mention there are 15 indications enrolled. I was wondering if you could give us a sense if there is any predominant indication and perhaps the percentage number for endometrial cancers that was enrolled in the trial?
spk06: Good morning. How are you?
spk09: So, we are not releasing specific information, but you may imagine that there are not as we've publicly released, there are no more than three of any specific type of tumor enrolled in the study to date. So there's really not much to say. We do have representation of all of the major GYN oncology tumor types, the common ones, but there's not a preponderance of any one type that I think we could draw a conclusion from.
spk11: Okay, thank you. My second question is on the clinical development plans. Are there any changes to what you plan to do in terms of additional combinational trials or other m4 tumors that you were planning to initiate? When are we expecting to see them, or are you going to wait for the Precision I interim readouts?
spk09: We do have a relationship with Marathi, which I'm sure you're aware of. We anticipate that the combination study of Adagrasiv with Fayaro will happen this year. Stay tuned. That will probably be announced at some point in the near future. We do have several other studies that are planned. But we have not released guidance on that just yet. But there are some very interesting combinations that we will be exploring in the near future. But I'm really not at liberty to release the details. I'm sorry.
spk11: Understood. And my last question is on the commercial side. Scott, can you comment on the commercial efforts outside of U.S., Europe, or Asia?
spk04: Yeah, thanks for the question, Anu. Sure. So, you know, I think as we said previously, you know, we continue to still evaluate our options there outside of the U.S. And I think what we've said is what we're looking at is just taking into consideration the PECOMA market and then also the implications that you could have of TSC-1 and TSC-2 coming down the road. So I think it's something that's still under evaluation.
spk14: Sounds good. Thanks for taking my questions.
spk13: Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the call back over to Scott for any closing remarks.
spk04: Yes, thank you. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to join our call today. Obviously, we're very excited about what we have going on here at the company, and we look forward to updating you again on our progress soon.
spk13: Thank you for your participation. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Everyone, have a great day.
