DURATA THERAPEUTICS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE RESULTS
MORRISTOWN, NJ, November 9, 2012 – Durata Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DRTX) today announced financial and corporate results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
“With the completion of patient enrollment in our two ongoing global Phase 3 clinical trials of dalbavancin, we remain on track to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the first half of 2013, pending results from these trials,” said Paul Edick, Chief Executive Officer of Durata Therapeutics, Inc. “Our financial results reflect our increase in spending as the studies draw to a close.”
Recent Accomplishments
Our significant recent accomplishments include the following:
| | • | | Completed target enrollment for both of our global Phase 3 clinical trials of dalbavancin. |
| | • | | Received Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation for dalbavancin from the FDA, which provides Durata priority review by the FDA, eligibility for fast-track status, and extension of statutory exclusivity periods for an additional five years upon FDA approval of the product for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). |
| | • | | Completed QT study of dalbavancin, which indicated that dalbavancin had no clinically significant impact on cardiac conduction. |
| | • | | Released in vitro study data that could help support a clinical development program to investigate dalbavancin for the treatment of pneumonia. |
Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012
As of September 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60.8 million, compared to $11.5 million at December 31, 2011. In July 2012, we raised $73.9 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 (the “2012 Quarter”) was $21.8 million, compared to net loss of $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 (the “2011 Quarter”).
Research and development expense for the 2012 Quarter was $19.0 million, compared to $8.3 million for the 2011 Quarter. The $10.7 million increase from the 2011 Quarter to the 2012 Quarter principally resulted from an increase of $7.6 million in contract research organization and other clinical trial expenses, including consulting, an increase of $0.5 million for personnel costs to support our studies and an increase of $2.6 million related to chemistry, manufacturing and control related expenses due to the production of active product ingredient to support registration batches.
General and administrative expense for the 2012 Quarter was $2.6 million, compared to $1.0 million for the 2011 Quarter. The $1.6 million increase from the 2011 Quarter to the 2012 Quarter principally resulted from an increase of $0.7 million for personnel costs, an increase of $0.4 million in legal and consulting fees and an increase of $0.5 million for insurance and other operating expenses to support our pre-launch activities and increased compliance requirements.
About Dalbavancin
Dalbavancin is an intravenous antibiotic product candidate under investigation for once-weekly dosing, which we believe may facilitate the treatment of patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections, or ABSSSI, in both the in-patient and out-patient settings, potentially reducing the length of a patient’s hospital stay or avoiding hospital admission altogether, with an impact on the overall cost of care for these patients.
