ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Any statements made by NeoPharm Inc. ("we", "us", "our" or the "Company") in
this quarterly report that are forward looking are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Readers are cautioned that important factors may affect our actual results and
could cause such results to differ materially from forward-looking statements
made by us or on our behalf. Such factors include, but are not limited to,
changing market conditions, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the
timely development, approval by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and
foreign health authorities, and market acceptance of our products in
development, our ability to further raise capital, our dependence on key
personnel, and other factors referenced under "Risk Factors" in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
OVERVIEW
We are a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and
development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various
cancers. We currently have a portfolio of seven anti-cancer drugs, three of
which are in clinical trials. We have built our drug portfolio based on our
two novel proprietary technology platforms: a liposomal drug delivery
platform and a tumor-targeting platform. In February 1999, we entered into a
collaboration agreement with Pharmacia Corporation ("PNU"), to develop and
commercialize our two leading products: liposome encapsulated doxorubicin, or
LED, and liposome encapsulated paclitaxel, or LEP. In conjunction with PNU,
we have initiated multi-center Phase II/III clinical trials of LEP for the
treatment of a variety of cancers, including breast, ovarian and lung
cancers, and we are currently conducting multi-center Phase II/III clinical
trials for LED for the treatment of breast and prostate cancers.
In addition to LEP and LED, we have five other products under
development. Under our liposomal platform, we are preparing to file an
investigational new drug application for LE-AON, our liposome encapsulated gene
inhibitor for radiation resistant tumors, and we have initiated preclinical
studies for liposomal encapsulated epirubicin, or LEE, and liposomal
encapsulated mitoxantrone, or LEM. Under our tumor-targeting platform, we are
currently in a Phase I/II clinical trial for IL13-PE38, a tumor-targeting
product for the treatment of kidney cancer. In March 2000, we filed an
investigational new drug application for our other tumor-targeting product, SS1
(ds Fv)-PE38, and we expect to commence Phase I/II clinical trials for SS1 (ds
Fv)-PE38 for the treatment of various cancers in the second quarter of 2000.
OUR PRODUCTS
We have utilized both our liposomal platform and our tumor-targeting platform to
develop a group of novel anti-cancer products. Presently, we have three products
in clinical trials and four in preclinical trials.
LIPOSOMAL PLATFORM
LIPOSOME ENCAPSULATED PACLITAXEL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. LEP is a liposome encapsulated formulation of the
widely-used cancer drug, paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is marketed by Bristol-Myers
Squibb Company under the trade name "Taxol(R)" and is used in the treatment of a
number of tumors, including breast and lung cancer. Despite paclitaxel's wide
use and its anti-tumor characteristics, its effectiveness is limited by its side
effects, which can include nausea, vomiting, hair loss and nerve and muscle
pain. The low solubility of paclitaxel necessitates formulation in a toxic
mixture of castor oil and ethanol which requires premedication. In addition,
paclitaxel must be infused over a period of at least three hours.
We believe we have overcome many of the current limitations of
paclitaxel by utilizing cardiolipin, a naturally occurring negatively charged
lipid found in cardiac tissue, to increase the solubility of paclitaxel, thus
eliminating the need for administration of castor oil and ethanol and the
accompanying premedication. Since paclitaxel has a positive charge and
cardiolipin has a negative charge, cardiolipin combines with the paclitaxel to
form a stable product that can be freeze dried and easily reconstituted. We have
been able to standardize the preparation of cardiolipin through the development
of a proprietary form of synthetic cardiolipin. Based on preclinical studies, we
believe another potential advantage of LEP is the ability of cardiolipin to
overcome the resistance to cancer drugs developed by cells which have
8
been exposed to several rounds of chemotherapy. As a result, the cytotoxicity of
LEP against tumors increases significantly, maximizing the killing of otherwise
resistant cells.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS. We believe LEP is the first, and only, liposomal form of
paclitaxel to enter clinical trials. We completed our Phase I clinical trials
in March 2000. These Phase I trials, which involved 29 advanced stage cancer
patients, confirmed that LEP could be administered at higher levels than
paclitaxel is currently administered, with fewer side effects. Six patients
have experienced tumor reductions greater than 35%. The tumors in eight other
patients did not increase in size after 12 weeks, and in four of these eight
patients, the tumors were still stable in size one year later. Some patients
received significantly more cycles of LEP than can be given with
unencapsulated paclitaxel, and no patients showed signs of the nerve and
muscle pain commonly associated with paclitaxel. Two patients have received
greater than 20 cycles of LEP. Most patients did not experience the hair loss
or nausea often associated with paclitaxel treatment.
Currently, our collaboration partner, PNU, is initiating large scale
multi-center, multinational Phase II/III clinical trials. These Phase II/III
trials will test LEP as both a single and combination therapy for a variety of
solid tumors to determine its safety and efficacy.
LIPOSOME ENCAPSULATED DOXORUBICIN
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. LED is a liposome encapsulated formulation of the widely
used cancer drug, doxorubicin. Doxorubicin is used to treat a number of cancers
including solid tumors and leukemia, a form of blood cancer. Though effective in
treating these and other cancers, doxorubicin may produce irreversible heart
damage. The risk of heart failure increases with increasing total cumulative
doses of doxorubicin. Doxorubicin also causes suppression of white blood cell
production, which may be dose limiting, and produces side effects such as
nausea, vomiting and hair loss. As we have done with LEP, we have diminished
these side effects by encapsulating doxorubicin using synthetic cardiolipin.
Since doxorubicin has a positive charge and cardiolipin has a negative charge,
cardiolipin combines with the doxorubicin to form a stable product that can be
freeze dried and easily reconstituted. We believe LED, unlike other liposomal
doxorubicin products currently available, will, because of its formulation with
cardiolipin, overcome the resistance to cancer drugs developed by cells which
have been exposed to several rounds of chemotherapy and will be easier to
manufacture.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS. In June 1998, we started Phase II clinical trials for the
treatment of advanced prostate cancer in 10 patients. After four rounds of
treatment, the level of prostate specific antigen, an indicator of the extent of
disease progression, decreased by greater than 35% in two patients and
stabilized in two other patients. These four patients reported a significant
reduction in pain. Our collaborative partner, PNU, is currently conducting
multi-center Phase II/III clinical trials of LED.
We completed a Phase I trial in May 1998, which confirmed that LED
demonstrated lower toxicity when compared to unencapsulated doxorubicin and
could be given at approximately double the current dose for doxorubicin.
LIPOSOME ENCAPSULATED ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. We have developed a liposome encapsulated antisense cRaf
oligonucleotide, LE-AON, which we believe inhibits the expression of the cRaf
protein and thus may have potential to enhance the effectiveness of radiation in
the treatment of certain cancers. cRaf is a protein which is expressed at higher
levels in cancer cells which are resistant to radiation therapy than in healthy
cells. By inhibiting expression of this gene, the cell becomes more susceptible
to radiation therapy. Our liposomes provide a non-viral method of delivering the
gene inhibitor into the cell. An additional advantage of LE-AON is that it can
be administered intravenously and is relatively easy to manufacture.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS. We have preclinical studies of LE-AON in progress designed
to enable us to undertake a Phase I clinical trial. In our preclinical studies,
intravenous administration of LE-AON inhibited cRaf gene expression in tumor
tissue. When LE-AON was given in combination with radiation treatment, tumor
regression for at least 27 days was observed.
9
LIPOSOMAL ENCAPSULATED EPIRUBICIN
Epirubicin is a drug that is widely used in Europe for the treatment of
breast cancer and was recently introduced in the U.S. market by our
collaborative partner, PNU. We have recently encapsulated epirubicin in our
liposomes ("LEE") and intend to evaluate its properties as a treatment for
breast cancer.
LIPOSOMAL ENCAPSULATED MITOXANTRONE
We recently encapsulated mitoxantrone in our liposomes ("LEM").
Mitoxantrone is used for the treatment of prostate cancer and multiple
sclerosis. We believe LEM will demonstrate a safety and efficacy advantage over
unencapsulated mitoxantrone. Currently we are conducting preclinical studies to
evaluate the profile of this drug.
TUMOR-TARGETING PLATFORM
IL13-PE38
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. IL13-PE38 is a tumor-targeting agent we are developing for
the treatment of kidney and brain cancers. Research by scientists at the FDA and
the NIH has demonstrated that some solid tumors express high numbers of IL13
receptors on their cell surfaces. IL13-PE38 links the cytotoxin PE38 to the
tumor-targeting agent IL13. When administered, IL13-PE38 targets the IL13
receptors, which are present in greater numbers in cancer cells than healthy
cells, and delivers the PE38 toxin to these cancer cells without harming the
healthy cells.
In October 1997, we entered into an exclusive worldwide licensing
agreement with the FDA and the NIH giving us rights to develop and commercialize
IL13-PE38. We also entered into a cooperative research and development agreement
with the FDA for the clinical and commercial development of IL13-PE38 as an
anti-cancer agent. We believe this is the first collaboration between the FDA
and a biopharmaceutical company.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS. In preclinical studies, IL13-PE38 has demonstrated tumor
regression in a number of cancers. We filed an investigational new drug
application for IL13-PE38 for the treatment of kidney cancer in June 1999 and
entered Phase I/II clinical trials in October 1999 for this indication. We filed
an investigational new drug application for brain cancer in March 2000 and
anticipate beginning Phase I/II clinical trials for brain cancer in the second
quarter of 2000.
SS1(dsFv)-PE38
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. SS1(dsFv)-PE38 links the cytotoxin PE38 to the antibody
SS1(dsFv). As is the case with IL13, SS1(dsFv) targets specific receptors
on cancer cells and delivers the cytotoxin directly to the cancer cells
without effecting healthy cells. In March 1999, we executed a worldwide
exclusive licensing agreement with the NIH giving us rights to develop and
commercialize SS1(dsFv)-PE38. We also entered into a cooperative research
and development agreement with the NIH for the clinical and commercial
development of SS1(dsFv)-PE38 as an anti-cancer agent.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS. In April 2000, we filed an investigational new drug
application for SS1(dsFv)-PE38 for the treatment of certain common cancers and
expect to commence Phase I/II clinical studies in ovarian cancer, lung cancer,
and head and neck cancers in the second quarter of 2000. In preclinical studies,
SS1(dsFv)-PE38 demonstrated very specific targeting to receptors for ovarian
cancer and head and neck cancer and a high level of toxicity. Preclinical
studies have shown a complete response rate in ovarian tumors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, we received a $3,000,000 milestone
payment from PNU for completion of Phase I/ beginning of Phase II clinical
trials for LEP. We recorded a nonrefundable license fee of $9,000,000 for the
same period in 1999 related to the licensing agreement with PNU for the
development and commercialization of LEP and LED.
Research and development expense for the three months period ended March 31,
2000 were $652,826 compared to $1,500,434 for the same period in 1999. The
overall reduction in research and development costs was the result of
nonrecurring 1999 expenses associated with licensing of SS1(dsFv)-PE38 of
approximately $256,000 and a sublicense
10
fee paid to Georgetown of $800,000 coupled with increased spending in 2000 of
approximately $208,000 primarily for the development of LEAON, SS1(dsFv)-PE38
and IL13-PE38.
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
2000 were $505,674 compared to $597,994 for the same period in 1999. The overall
reduction in general and administrative expenses was a result of reduced
professional fees of $92,000, a reduction in various other general and
administrative expenses of approximately $47,300 coupled with an increase in
franchise taxes of approximately $47,000. In the prior year period, we incurred
additional professional fees and administrative expenses in completing our
licensing agreement with PNU. The current year's increase in franchise taxes
resulted from the increase in our capitalization due to the sale of shares to
PNU and the conversion of our warrants into common stock following the calling
for redemption of our warrants.
We generated interest income on excess cash balances of $413,173 and $35,007 for
the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 respectively.
We incurred $1,860 of interest expense for the three month period ended March
31, 1999. We incurred no interest expense during the current period.
We recorded income tax expense of $0 and $2,774,000 for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 respectively.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $2,254,673 compared to
$4,160,719 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. Net income per share
for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 use $0.20 basic and $0.19
diluted compared to $0.49 basic and $0.38 diluted for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2000, we had $26,668,949 in cash and cash equivalents and net
working capital of $26,452,982. We believe that our cash and equivalents should
be adequate to fund our immediate needs. However, we can offer no assurances
that additional funding will not be required in the foreseeable future. All
excess cash has been invested in short-term investments.
Our assets at March 31, 2000 were $27,070,316 compared to $25,051,748 at
December 31, 1999. This increase in assets was primarily due to an increase of
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,004,000 as a result of cash
generated by operating activities of approximately $1,845,000 and cash provided
by financing activities of approximately $159,000. The cash generated by
operating activities was primarily from the milestone payment received from PNU.
The cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the exercise
of stock options that were held by our consultants.
Our liabilities at March 31, 2000 decreased to approximately $557,000 from
approximately $1,047,000 at December 31, 1999. This decrease was attributable to
a decrease in trade payables of approximately $254,000 a decrease in accrued
expenses of approximately $37,000 a decrease in accrued compensation of
approximately $234,000 and an increase in obligations under research agreements
of approximately $35,000.
We may seek to satisfy our future funding requirements through public or private
offerings of securities, with collaborative or other arrangements with corporate
partners or from other sources. Additional financing may not be available when
needed or on terms acceptable to us. If adequate financing is not available, we
may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of our research and
development programs, relinquish rights to certain or our technologies, cancer
drugs or products, or license third parties to commercialize products or
technologies that we would otherwise seek to develop ourselves.
