Entrada Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

– Generated positive data from the Phase 1 clinical trial of ENTR-601-44 for DMD, including dose-dependent plasma and muscle concentration, and exon skipping –

– Planning underway for separate global Phase 2 clinical trials for ENTR-601-44 and ENTR-601-45 with regulatory filings anticipated in Q4 2024 –

– Completed $100 million registered direct offering led by a U.S.-based healthcare focused investor, two global mutual funds and Janus Henderson Investors, a global asset management firm –

– Cash runway expected into 2027 with $470 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2024 –

BOSTON, Aug. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRDA) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company aiming to transform the lives of patients by establishing a new class of medicines that engage intracellular targets long considered inaccessible. The Company today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and highlighted recent business updates.

“In the last quarter, Entrada delivered compelling Phase 1 clinical data from our Duchenne program ENTR-601-44, demonstrating the translation of our nonclinical studies to healthy volunteers. We remain on track to advance separate Phase 2 clinical trials across multiple Duchenne programs, including those targeting exon 44, exon 45 and exon 50,” said Dipal Doshi, Chief Executive Officer at Entrada Therapeutics. “With the completion of a successful financing that extends our cash runway into 2027, we are positioned to advance our Duchenne portfolio while expanding into other disease areas that could benefit from our differentiated approach to intracellular delivery.”

Recent Corporate Highlights

•In June, Entrada announced positive preliminary data from its Phase 1 clinical trial of ENTR-601-44-101 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The study has since been completed with no drug-related adverse findings noted. ENTR-601-44 was generally well-tolerated in healthy volunteers with no serious adverse events, no drug-related adverse events and no clinically significant changes or trends noted in vital signs, electrocardiograms, physical exams or laboratory assessments observed in the trial. The product candidate demonstrated a strong dose-dependent response, significant plasma concentration, muscle concentration and exon skipping, at levels that suggest the potential for a clinically meaningful starting dose in planned upcoming patient trials. Data will be featured in a poster presentation at the 29th Annual Congress of the World Muscle Society, taking place in Prague, Czechia from October 8-12, 2024.
•Planning is underway for separate global Phase 2 clinical trials for ENTR-601-44 and ENTR-601-45 with regulatory filings anticipated in Q4 2024. The Company also plans to submit regulatory applications in 2025 to initiate a global Phase 2 clinical trial for its third Duchenne candidate, ENTR-601-50, in patients who are exon 50 skipping amenable.

•The Company completed a $100 million registered direct offering in June 2024. The proceeds from the offering resulted in the extension of the Company’s cash runway into 2027.
•Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced that they continue to enroll and dose patients in the global Phase 1/2 clinical trial for VX-670 in people with DM1 and expect to complete the single ascending dose (SAD) portion of the study by the end of 2024. Following completion of the SAD portion of the trial, Vertex will move into the multiple ascending dose portion, where both the safety and efficacy of VX-670 will be evaluated.

Upcoming Investor Conferences
The Company will present at the H.C. Wainwright 25th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York, NY on September 9, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $469.7 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $352.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily a result of the $100 million registered direct offering completed in June of 2024 and the receipt of the $75 million payment for the clinical advancement milestone for VX-670 that was achieved in March of 2024. Based on current operating plans, the Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to fund its operations into 2027.

Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue was $94.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily a result of additional VX-670 research activities performed during the second quarter of 2024 and an increase in the total transaction price related to the clinical advancement milestone that was achieved in March of 2024.

Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $32.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $26.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by additional research activities performed for VX-670 and additional preclinical costs incurred related to ENTR-601-50, as well as higher personnel costs (including non-cash, stock-based compensation).

General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs (including non-cash, stock-based compensation).

Net Income (Loss): Net income was $55.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss of $(25.9) million for the same period in 2023.
