- Company on track with comprehensive AMT-101 Phase 2 clinical program across multiple indications, including inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis -
- Announced dosing of first patient in Phase 2 monotherapy trial (LOMBARD) evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral AMT-101 in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis -
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Molecular Transport Inc. (NASDAQ:AMTI) (AMT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
"We continue to make important progress in the development of our differentiated oral biologic drug candidates in a number of indications," said Tahir Mahmood, Ph.D., chief executive officer and co-founder of AMT. "We recently advanced oral AMT-101 into a Phase 2 monotherapy trial in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). In addition, we continue the planned expansion of this comprehensive clinical program with two additional Phase 2 trials of AMT-101 in combination with anti-TNFα therapy in biologic-naïve patients with moderate to severe UC and as a monotherapy in patients with pouchitis, both initiating by year-end. We are also looking forward to the initiation of the fourth Phase 2 trial for AMT-101 in combination with anti-TNFα in rheumatoid arthritis patients who are partially responding to anti-TNFα therapy. Furthermore, given the broad potential of our technology platform as an engine for the development of novel oral biologics, we continue to work on expanding our deep pipeline into additional indications and therapeutic areas and look forward to sharing updates on our progress."
Recent Business Highlights
- Announced dosing of the first patient in the LOMBARD Phase 2 monotherapy trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral AMT-101 in patients with moderate to severe UC
- Successfully manufactured AMT-101 and AMT-126 clinical biologic drug supply at AMT's internal GMP manufacturing facility
- Announced publication of preclinical data demonstrating potential of AMT-101 for inflammatory diseases in The Journal of Immunology (November 2020 issue)
Anticipated Upcoming Milestones
- Initiate the remaining Phase 2 trials for oral AMT-101:
- MARKET clinical trial of oral AMT-101 in combination with anti-TNFα, in biologic-naïve, moderate to severe UC patients by year-end
- FILLMORE clinical trial of oral AMT-101 for the treatment of pouchitis by year-end
- CASTRO clinical trial of oral AMT-101 in combination with anti-TNFα for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in 1H 2021
- Anticipate top-line data readouts from the four AMT-101 Phase 2 trials beginning in 2H 2021 and into 1H 2022
- File IND/CTA for AMT-126, a gastrointestinal (GI)-selective oral fusion of hIL-22, to treat serious diseases associated with intestinal epithelial (IE) barrier defects by year-end
Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2020
Research and development (R&D) expenses. Total R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $13.4 million, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher expenses associated with clinical trials, preclinical studies, materials, compensation, and facilities related expenses, offset by a decrease in contract manufacturing due to internal capabilities.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses. Total G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $3.4 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs and professional fees.
Net loss. Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $16.8 million, compared to $7.9 million for the third quarter of 2019.
Cash, cash equivalents, and investments. As of September 30, 2020, cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $147.3 million.
