Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on novel and targeted oncology therapies, announced today financial results for the three-month period and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter 2022 and Recent Business Update

  • First launch quarter for ROLVEDON, with net sales for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, totaling $10.1 million.
  • Operating expenses decreased 45% year-over-year as the Company streamlined operations while continuing to invest in core business objectives, including the commercialization of ROLVEDON.
  • 70 targeted accounts purchased ROLVEDON during the launch quarter, including the top three community oncology networks, representing approximately 22% of the total clinic market.
  • Received permanent J-Code, facilitating more efficient and predictable reimbursement in the outpatient setting.
  • National Comprehensive Cancer Network® Supportive Care Guidelines (NCCN Guidelines) in oncology for Hematopoietic Growth Factors named ROLVEDON as an appropriate option for cancer patients who are at risk for febrile neutropenia.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $75.1 million at December 31, 2022, giving us an expected runway through 2024.

"It's been a transformative year for Spectrum as we have become a commercially focused company. We've approached the launch of ROLVEDON with a disciplined strategy and an understanding that Spectrum's long-term growth is dependent upon the product's success. We're off to a solid start and are encouraged by the initial customer receptivity to ROLVEDON," said Tom Riga, President and Chief Executive Officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. "Commercial success is foundational to the Company's future and, with the right people in place, a lean infrastructure, and an ample cash runway, we have a tremendous opportunity moving forward."

Financial Results for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2022 (All numbers are from Continuing Operations)

Net sales for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 were $10.1 million as we began to sell our sole commercial product, ROLVEDON, which was approved by the FDA on September 9, 2022.

During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, the cost of sales was $1.8 million, consisting primarily of packaging costs, freight and royalties associated with the net sales of ROLVEDON and $1.1 million of start-up expenses associated with stability and bio-burden testing. This figure did not include any direct costs associated with the manufacture of ROLVEDON, which were previously expensed in research and development expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 were $11.3 million and $38.8 million, respectively, as compared to $18.9 million and $60.4 million for the comparable periods in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with personnel related expenses associated with the reduction in workforce announced in January 2022 and decreases in professional services and other general expenses.

Total research and development expenses were $8.7 million and $42.2 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, as compared to $18.0 million and $87.3 million for the comparable periods in 2021. The decrease was due to decreased program activities for ROLVEDON, poziotinib, and early-stage compounds, personnel-related expenditures associated with the reduction in workforce during the strategic restructuring that began in January 2022, as well as a concession provided by Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. for drug substance which had been accrued during 2021 and is no longer payable by Spectrum.

Net loss was $11.7 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $39.8 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable period in 2021. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $78.1 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $158.4 million, or $1.02 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable period in 2021.

The Company had a total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance of approximately $75.1 million at December 31, 2022.

About ROLVEDON™

ROLVEDON™ (eflapegrastim-xnst) injection is a long-acting granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with a novel formulation. Spectrum has received an indication to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in adult patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia. ROLVEDON is not indicated for the mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The BLA for ROLVEDON was supported by data from two identically designed Phase 3, randomized, open-label, noninferiority clinical trials, ADVANCE and RECOVER, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of ROLVEDON in 643 early-stage breast cancer patients for the management of neutropenia due to myelosuppressive chemotherapy. In both studies, ROLVEDON demonstrated the pre-specified hypothesis of non-inferiority (NI) in mean duration of severe neutropenia (DSN) and a similar safety profile to pegfilgrastim. ROLVEDON also demonstrated non-inferiority to pegfilgrastim in the mean DSN across all four cycles (all NI p

Please see the Important Safety Information below and the full prescribing information for ROLVEDON at www.rolvedon.com .

Indications and Usage

ROLVEDON is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection, as manifested by febrile neutropenia, in adult patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving myelosuppressive anti-cancer drugs associated with clinically significant incidence of febrile neutropenia.

Limitations of Use

ROLVEDON is not indicated for the mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications

  • ROLVEDON is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious allergic reactions to eflapegrastim, pegfilgrastim or filgrastim products. Reactions may include anaphylaxis.

Warnings and Precautions

Splenic Rupture

  • Splenic rupture, including fatal cases, can occur following the administration of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) products. Evaluate patients who report left upper abdominal or shoulder pain for an enlarged spleen or splenic rupture.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

  • ARDS can occur in patients receiving rhG-CSF products. Evaluate patients who develop fever, lung infiltrates, or respiratory distress. Discontinue ROLVEDON in patients with ARDS.

Serious Allergic Reactions

  • Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can occur in patients receiving rhG-CSF products. Permanently discontinue ROLVEDON in patients who experience serious allergic reactions.

Sickle Cell Crisis in Patients with Sickle Cell Disorders

  • Severe and sometimes fatal sickle cell crises can occur in patients with sickle cell disorders receiving rhG-CSF products. Discontinue ROLVEDON if sickle cell crisis occurs.

Glomerulonephritis

  • Glomerulonephritis has occurred in patients receiving rhG-CSF products. The diagnoses were based upon azotemia, hematuria (microscopic and macroscopic), proteinuria, and renal biopsy. Generally, events of glomerulonephritis resolved after dose-reduction or discontinuation. Evaluate and consider dose reduction or interruption of ROLVEDON if causality is likely.

Leukocytosis

  • White blood cell (WBC) counts of 100 x 10 9 /L or greater have been observed in patients receiving rhG-CSF products. Monitor complete blood count (CBC) during ROLVEDON therapy. Discontinue ROLVEDON treatment if WBC count of 100 x 10 9 /L or greater occurs.

Thrombocytopenia

  • Thrombocytopenia has been reported in patients receiving rhG-CSF products. Monitor platelet counts.

Capillary Leak Syndrome

  • Capillary leak syndrome has been reported after administration of rhG-CSF products and is characterized by hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, edema and hemoconcentration. Episodes vary in frequency and severity and may be life-threatening if treatment is delayed. If symptoms develop, closely monitor and give standard symptomatic treatment, which may include a need for intensive care.

Potential for Tumor Growth Stimulatory Effects on Malignant Cells

  • The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor through which ROLVEDON acts has been found on tumor cell lines. The possibility that ROLVEDON acts as a growth factor for any tumor type, including myeloid malignancies and myelodysplasia, diseases for which ROLVEDON is not approved, cannot be excluded.

Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Patients with Breast and Lung Cancer

  • MDS and AML have been associated with the use of rhG-CSF products in conjunction with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in patients with breast and lung cancer. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of MDS/AML in these settings.

Aortitis

  • Aortitis has been reported in patients receiving rhG-CSF products. It may occur as early as the first week after start of therapy. Consider aortitis in patients who develop generalized signs and symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, malaise, back pain, and increased inflammatory markers (e.g., c-reactive protein and white blood cell count) without known etiology. Discontinue ROLVEDON if aortitis is suspected.

Nuclear Imaging

  • Increased hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow in response to growth factor therapy has been associated with transient positive bone imaging changes. This should be considered when interpreting bone imaging results.

Adverse Reactions

  • The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, bone pain, headache, pyrexia, anemia, rash, myalgia, arthralgia, and back pain.
  • Permanent discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 4% of patients who received ROLVEDON. The adverse reaction requiring permanent discontinuation in 3 patients who received ROLVEDON was rash.

Top 10 Phosphate Countries by Production (Updated 2024)

Phosphate is mainly used in the form of fertilizer for crops and animal feed supplements. Only 5 percent of world phosphate production is used for other applications, such as corrosion prevention and detergents.

Demand for phosphate fertilizers had created a US$54.6 billion market by 2023, and that figure is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3 percent through 2030 to reach US$78.4 billion.

"One of the primary factors influencing the worldwide market for phosphate fertilizers is the increasing focus on sustainable agriculture," according to Persistence Market Research. "Phosphate fertilizers, which are widely recognized for their ability to augment soil fertility and enhance crop productivity, are crucial for the pursuit of sustainability objectives in the agricultural industry."

9 Phosphate Stocks to Watch (Updated 2024)

Demand for both phosphate and potash fertilizers is anticipated to continue growing as the world’s population increases and the amount of arable land decreases.

The phosphate market is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 5.3 percent between 2023 and 2030 to reach US$78.4 billion. Driving this growth will be increasing pressure on global food supply brought on by rising populations and climate change, as well as inflation and downstream costs. Phosphate is also increasingly becoming a sought-after battery material for the electric vehicle industry due to its use in lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Thankfully, phosphate-mining production around the globe is expected to increase, with the largest areas of growth being Africa and the Middle East. Phosphate mining companies with project developments in Brazil, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Peru and Russia are all expected to contribute to increased phosphate rock production as well.
