RED BANK, N.J., Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Provention Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVB), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to intercepting and preventing autoimmune disease, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, and provided a business update.

"We are excited about the progress the Provention Bio team has made in recent months as we work to redefine the treatment landscape for T1D and other autoimmune diseases," stated Ashleigh Palmer, CEO, Provention Bio. "Earlier this week, we announced our achievement of a major milestone with the completion of the rolling BLA submission for teplizumab for the delay or prevention of clinical T1D in at-risk individuals. In parallel with our regulatory efforts, we are focused on preparing for a potential product approval and launch in mid-2021. We recently introduced two national campaigns to educate key stakeholders about early-stage T1D and the potential advantages of screening populations at risk of developing clinical-stage disease. In parallel with teplizumab, we are advancing our portfolio of additional therapeutic candidates targeting the interception or prevention of autoimmune disease. We recently initiated a Phase 2 trial for PRV-015, an anti-IL-15 human monoclonal antibody which, if approved, has the potential to be the first therapeutic for the treatment of non-responsive celiac disease."  

Third Quarter 2020 and Recent Corporate Highlights:

Completed Rolling Submission of the Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for Teplizumab for the Delay or Prevention of Clinical T1D in At-risk Individuals

Earlier this week, Provention announced the completion of the rolling submission of a BLA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for teplizumab for the delay or prevention of clinical T1D in at-risk individuals with the submission of the chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) and administrative information modules. In September, the Company announced submission of the clinical module. The FDA has 60 days to review the final submission to determine if the BLA is complete. If deemed complete, the submission will be considered acceptable for filing and review, and the FDA will set a PDUFA goal date.  Provention has expressly requested a Priority Review in conjunction with the submission. A Priority Review designation means FDA's goal is to take action on an application within 6 months (compared to 10 months under standard review).

Commenced National Type 1 Diabetes Campaigns Focused on Screening and Disease State Education

In October, Provention announced two closely aligned early-stage disease and screening education campaigns, "Connected by T1D" and "Type 1 Tested", focused on creating awareness of the importance of screening individuals at disproportionate risk due to having a family member(s) with T1D. Early and routine autoantibody screening is the call-to-action in each campaign with the goal of doctors, patients and families making more informed decisions that may decrease the likelihood of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and other risks.

Initiated Phase 2b PROACTIVE Study of PRV-015 (anti-IL-15) in Non-responsive Celiac Disease (NRCD)

In August 2020, Provention announced the initiation of the Phase 2b PROACTIVE (PROvention Amgen Celiac ProtecTIVE) study of PRV-015 which is being developed under an agreement with Amgen. The placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study will examine the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of PRV-015 as compared to placebo in approximately 220 adults with NRCD.

Appointed John K. Jenkins, MD to the Board of Directors

In August 2020, Provention announced the appointment of John K. Jenkins MD, the former Director of the Office of New Drugs at the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), to the Company's Board of Directors. Dr. Jenkins currently serves as Principal, Drug and Biological Products for Greenleaf Health, an FDA-focused strategic regulatory consulting firm, where he offers extensive experience guiding companies through regulatory processes.

Successfully Completed Commercial-Scale PPQ Runs

In August 2020, Provention announced the completion of three back-to-back, commercial scale, drug substance process performance qualification (PPQ) batches at AGC Biologics, the Company's contract manufacturer.  These batches served as a foundation for the CMC module of the recently completed BLA submission.

Financial Highlights:

Net loss for the third quarter 2020 was $31.3 million, or $0.56 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2019. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to teplizumab related CMC costs, PROTECT study costs, BLA preparation costs, precommercial costs, and medical affairs expenses.

As of September 30, 2020, Provention had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $147.2 million. Cash-based operating expenses were $28.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and included teplizumab CMC expenses of $8.5 million and $6.0 million of precommercial expenses.  Provention expects to utilize $24 million to $28 million of cash for its operating needs in the fourth quarter of 2020. 

Conference Call and Webcast Information:

Provention Bio will discuss these business updates and third quarter financial results via conference call today at 8:00 am ET. To access the call, please dial 1-866-682-6100 (domestic) or 1-862-298-0702 (international) ten minutes prior to the start time and ask to be connected to the "Provention Bio Call".
