CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blueprint Medicines Corporation (NASDAQ: BPMC) today reported financial results and provided a business update for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 and provided financial guidance.

"We are entering 2025 in the strongest position we have ever been in as a company with a focus on driving growth and innovation through operational excellence.  AYVAKIT is a medicine that is changing patients' lives, and the SM market is larger and growing faster than we originally expected. Our 2025 guidance of $680 to $710 million represents robust growth, putting AYVAKIT firmly on track to achieve $2 billion in revenue by 2030. With the larger potential SM franchise peak opportunity of $4 billion, we have a plan to drive innovation in the treatment of SM with elenestinib as we move beyond symptom control to disease modification in the HARBOR registration study, building a durable SM franchise that we anticipate will grow throughout the next decade," said Kate Haviland, Chief Executive Officer of Blueprint Medicines. "Our next potential blockbuster opportunity, BLU-808, is also coming into focus with the healthy volunteer data reported last month. BLU-808 demonstrated a best-in-class profile for an oral wild-type KIT inhibitor enabling our differentiated approach to modulating mast cell activity across thousands of patients with mast-cell-mediated allergic and inflammatory diseases. BLU-808 offers us the opportunity to find the right balance of efficacy and tolerability to realize true pipeline-in-a-medicine potential.  Altogether, our portfolio represents a unique set of assets, targeting fundamental mast cell biology, that will drive durable and diversified growth over the next decade with significant operating leverage."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Highlights and Recent Progress

Mast cell disorders

• For the full year, achieved AYVAKIT net product revenues of $479.0 million, including $421.8 million in the US and $57.1 million ex-US, representing 135 percent growth year-over-year. In the fourth quarter of 2024, AYVAKIT achieved $144.1 million in net product revenues, including $124.1 million in the US and $20.0 million ex-US.
• Blueprint estimates the peak revenue opportunity for the company's SM franchise is $4 billion, with $2 billion in annual revenues expected to be achieved by AYVAKIT by 2030.
• Presented AYVAKIT data at the 2024 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, showing a significant survival benefit in treatment-naïve patients with advanced SM, and sustained improvement in bone density for advanced SM patients with low bone mass at baseline. View the presentations here.
• Reported in January 2025 results from the Phase 1 healthy volunteer study of BLU-808, showing a differentiated profile that enables the evaluation of tunable dosing strategies. BLU-808 was well-tolerated at all doses tested, showed consistent pharmacokinetics supporting once daily oral dosing, and achieved dose-dependent reductions in tryptase exceeding 80 percent. These positive data support initiation of multiple proof-of-concept studies, which are planned in 2025.

Corporate

• Presented the company's 2025 corporate outlook and strategy to drive continued growth at the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. View the press release here.

• Announced the appointment of Sherwin Sattarzadeh to Chief Business Officer, overseeing business development, portfolio leadership and project management, and alliance management. His previous roles over a decade of service at Blueprint include Head of Regulatory Affairs, Chief of Staff to the Chief Executive Officer, and Senior Vice President of Strategic Operations. He succeeds Helen Ho, Ph.D. who is departing the company to pursue another career opportunity.

2025 Financial Guidance

Blueprint today announced it anticipates approximately $680 million to $710 million in global AYVAKIT net product revenues for all approved indications in 2025. The midpoint of this range represents 45 percent year-over-year revenue growth. In 2024, Blueprint reduced cash burn by more than 50 percent and expects further reduction in 2025 as the company continues to invest in advancing prioritized programs, balancing investing in innovation with financial discipline. The company continues to expect that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, together with anticipated future product revenues, will maintain a durable capital position to enable the company to achieve a self-sustainable financial profile.

Key Upcoming Milestones

The company plans to achieve the following milestones in the first half of 2025:

• Present 14 abstracts at the 2025 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) / World Allergy Organization (WAO) Joint Congress, including:
  • Three-year safety and efficacy data from the PIONEER trial of AYVAKIT.
  • Bone density improvements shown by AYVAKIT in the PIONEER trial.
  • Phase 1 healthy volunteer data for BLU-808, a highly potent and selective oral inhibitor of wild-type KIT, consistent with top-line results reported in January 2025.
• Initiate two proof-of-concept studies of BLU-808 in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria/chronic inducible urticaria, and allergic rhinitis/allergic conjunctivitis.
