• | Launched preclinical initiative with Evotec to evaluate the potential of expanding SM-88 platform to other targeted indications. |
• | Announced plans to explore the development of a Tyrosine-based tumor targeted technology and the receipt of a patent on such platform. |
“Our second quarter was a period of significant action at TYME as we continued to implement our strategic imperatives. We commenced the OASIS breast cancer study with the first patient dosed in late September, and initiated our preclinical work, including our all-important biomarker research. We believe this will provides us with a better understanding of how best to address treatment opportunities. Our existing trials are also progressing, as planned. PanCAN’s Precision Promise trial is in the process of seeking five new sites early next year with plans to add 10 more by the end of the year and enrollment continues in our HopES sarcomas study. This is particularly noteworthy given how difficult it is to recruit patients with this ultra-rare sarcoma. Finally, we began early discovery work on a tyrosine-based tumor targeted technology platform,” stated Richie Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of TYME.
“Given all the positive momentum, these are exciting times at TYME, and we are in a strong financial position to advance these programs. We look forward to sharing information on our progress in the upcoming quarters,” concluded Cunningham.
Second Fiscal Quarter 2022 Financial Results
As of the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $96.6 million in cash and marketable securities, compared to $101.5 million as of the quarter ended June 30, 2021. TYME’s operational cash burn rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $5.0 million compared to $6.0 million for the first quarter and $6.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021.
The burn rate was below the Company’s previous guidance and reflected expenses associated with ongoing clinical trials in pancreatic cancer (Precision Promise), breast cancer (Oasis), and sarcoma cancers (HopES), as well as reduced costs associated with our discontinued pancreatic cancer trial, 88-Panc-Part II. TYME continues to anticipate that its quarterly cash usage or “cash burn rate” will range from $6.0 to $8.0 million for the remaining quarters of fiscal year 2022, based on costs associated with the Company’s active clinical trials, the ongoing and close out activities related to our discontinued pancreatic cancer study, our pre-clinical studies in biomarker and mechanism of action research of SM-88, and TYME-19 pre-clinical studies.
Net loss was $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $6.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share. The decrease reflected lower ongoing trial costs primarily due to the discontinued TYME—88- Panc Part 2 trial.
After adjusting for the change in fair value of warrant liability, and amortization of employee, director and consultant stock options, adjusted net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $5.3 million, or ($0.03) per share, compared to adjusted net loss of $6.5 million, or ($0.04) per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are non-GAAP measures. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures.
