Kadmon Provides Business Update and Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

NEW YORK, August 5, 2021Kadmon Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: KDMN) today provided a business update and reported financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2021.

“The recent U.S. FDA approval of REZUROCK marked a transformative event for Kadmon and for patients living with cGVHD. REZUROCK represents a paradigm shift in the cGVHD treatment landscape by uniquely addressing both the immune and fibrotic components of the disease,” said Harlan W. Waksal, M.D., President and CEO of Kadmon. “We look forward to bringing this meaningful new therapy to patients in the U.S. by the end of this month.”

Dr. Waksal added, “Our momentum continues as we advance our portfolio of product candidates. Initial data from our open-label, Phase 2 trial of belumosudil for the treatment of systemic sclerosis is anticipated by year-end 2021. The recent positive initial safety data presented at ASCO on KD033, our anti-PD-L1/IL-15 fusion protein, supports our confidence in the therapeutic potential of IL-15 for cancer. We look forward to sharing additional clinical data from this trial in the fourth quarter of 2021.”  

2021 Program Updates and Milestones:

REZUROCK™ (belumosudil)

·

On July 16, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved REZUROCK™ (belumosudil) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy:

o

Commercial launch activities are underway,  with a focus on generating awareness of REZUROCK’s differentiated clinical value and facilitating market access

o

Experienced hematology/oncology sales team and account directors are fully trained and have begun engaging with healthcare providers at the top 100 transplant centers, where ~90% of patients are treated

o

REZUROCK availability is anticipated by late August through a network of rare hematology/oncology specialty pharmacies and distributors

o

Kadmon launched Kadmon ASSIST™, a comprehensive suite of patient financial and hub support services, including dedicated nurse practitioners on call to facilitate patient education and a successful clinical experience

o

Kadmon announced on August 4 that the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) added REZUROCK tablets to its Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) in the Pre-Transplant Recipient Evaluation and Management of Graft-Versus-Host Disease in the United States.

o

Results from the pivotal ROCKstar clinical trial of REZUROCK for the treatment of cGVHD were published in the journal Blood; available online here

Financial Results

Second Quarter 2021 Results

Loss from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $32.0 million and $59.4 million, respectively, compared to $26.9 million and $43.0 million for the same period in 2020. The six months ended June 30, 2020 included $6.0 million in one-time license revenues related to the Meiji strategic partnership.

The $5.6 million and $11.2 million increase in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 2020 was primarily related to belumosudil commercial launch readiness activities, non-cash stock compensation expenses and direct external research and development costs of developing our preclinical product candidates from our immuno-oncology platform.

Liquidity,  Capital Resources and Cash Runway

At June 30, 2021,  the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $270.5 million, compared to $123.9 million at December 31, 2020. The Company expects its current financial position to be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures into 2023.
