CHILDREN TREATED WITH REMESTEMCEL-L SHOW LONG-TERM SURVIVAL THROUGH FOUR YEARS IN STEROID-REFRACTORY ACUTE GRAFT VERSUS HOST DISEASE (SR-aGVHD)

Key Points:

 

Long-term survival evident through 4 years in children treated with remestemcel-L in Phase 3 trial MSB-GVHD001

 

Overall survival at 2 years was 51% in remestemcel-L treated children and 25-38% in recently published studies of children or adults with SR-aGVHD who received best available therapy (BAT) or the only approved agent in adults1-4

 

These results reaffirm the potential significance of remestemcel-L as a life-saving therapy for children with SR-aGVHD

 

These long-term survival outcomes are a key component of the Biologics License Application (BLA) resubmission to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

 

Melbourne, Australia; November 23 and New York, USA; November 22, 2022: Mesoblast Limited (ASX:MSB; Nasdaq:MESO), global leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today announced top-line long-term survival results for remestemcel-L from its pivotal Phase 3 trial (GVHD-001) in children with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD). The results showed durable survival through 4 years of follow-up. These new long-term survival data are a key component of the company’s BLA resubmission to the FDA for remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with SR-aGVHD, a life-threatening condition with no approved treatments for children under 12 years.

 

“These exciting long-term results provide further evidence of remestemcel-L’s potential as a highly effective treatment for SR-aGVHD in children” said Dr. Joanne Kurtzberg, Jerome Harris Distinguished Professor of Pediatrics and Professor of Pathology, Duke University Medical Center, the Phase 3 trial’s principal investigator. “Responses are durable, reducing mortality of this often lethal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.”

 

A four-year observational cohort survival study was performed by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) on 51 evaluable children with SR-aGVHD who were enrolled in Mesoblast’s phase 3 clinical trial of remestemcel-L across 20 centers in the US.  

 

"CIBMTR is proud that the high-quality comprehensive data included in our database supports critical clinical advances such as this to improve outcomes for cellular therapy patients" said Patricia Steinert, PhD, MBA, Executive Scientific Director, CIBMTR MCW Associate Professor, Department of Medicine Center for International Blood & Marrow.

 

Overall survival in the remestemcel-L cohort was 63% at 1 year, 51% at 2 years, and 49% at 4 years, with median survival of 2 to 3 years.  In recently published studies of children or adults with SR-aGVHD who received best available therapy (BAT) or the only FDA-approved agent for adults, ruxolitinib, 1 year survival was 40-49% and 2 year survival was 25%-38%,1-4 with median survival between 6.5 months and 11.1 months.3

 

Moreover, in the observational cohort study 88% of children treated with remestemcel-L had severe disease with highest mortality risk, defined by either IBMTR Grade C/D or Glucksberg Grade III/IV, whereas only 22% to 68% of patients in the other studies were considered to be severe.1-4 These results reaffirm the potential significance of remestemcel-L as a life-saving therapy for children with SR-aGVHD.

 

Mesoblast Chief Executive Dr Silviu Itescu said: “These substantial and durable long-term survival outcomes seen in our Phase 3 trial with remestemcel-L are a cornerstone to our BLA resubmission.”

MESOBLAST REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Durable long-term survival outcomes through 4 years for children with steroid-refractory graft versus host disease (SR-aGVHD) treated with remestemcel-L

These long-term survival outcomes are a cornerstone of the BLA resubmission to FDA for approval of remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with SR-aGVHD

 

Melbourne, Australia; November 23 and New York, USA; November 22, 2022: Mesoblast Limited (ASX:MSB; Nasdaq:MESO), global leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today reported operational highlights and financial results for the period ended September 30, 2022 and provided an update on upcoming milestones.

 

“The substantial and durable long-term survival over four years we have reported today in children with SR-aGVHD treated with remestemcel-L in our Phase 3 trial underscore the many lives that could potentially be saved by making this therapy available as soon as possible to children with the most common life-threatening complication after bone marrow transplantation” said Dr. Silviu Itescu, Chief Executive of Mesoblast.

 

“These new long-term survival data reaffirm the potential significance of remestemcel-L as a life-saving therapy for children with SR-aGVHD and are a cornerstone of the company’s BLA resubmission to the FDA for approval of remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with SR-aGVHD. The lack of any approved treatments for children under 12 means that there is an urgent need for a therapy that improves the dismal survival outcomes in children. We are at a pivotal juncture, we believe we have appropriately addressed issues raised by FDA in the complete response, and we are well funded in preparation for a potential first product approval and launch by mid-year.”

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Cash: Cash reserves as at September 30th were US$85.5 million. Up to an additional US$40.0 million may be drawn from existing financing facilities subject to achieving certain milestones, with current discussions to extend the period for the drawdown option.

 

Net cash usage for operating activities in the quarter was US$14.3 million; this represented a 22% reduction (US$3.9 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2022, and a 47% reduction (US$12.5 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2021.

 

Revenue from royalties on sales of TEMCELL® HS Inj.1 sold in Japan by our licensee for the quarter were US$1.4 million.  For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 royalties were US$7.7 million, and on a constant currency basis2 US$9.0 million, a 9% increase on the comparative period.

 

Expenditure for R&D, Manufacturing and Management & Administration inclusive of non-cash items, were US$17.5 million, a decrease of 23% (US$5.2 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 on the comparative quarter.

 

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS AND NEAR-TERM MILESTONES

Remestemcel-L

Biologics License Application (BLA) resubmission to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of children with steroid-refractory graft versus host disease (SR-aGVHD)

 

Survival outcomes have not improved over the past two decades for children or adults with the most severe forms of SR-aGVHD.3-6 The lack of any approved treatments for children under 12 means that there is an urgent need for a therapy that improves the dismal survival outcomes in children.

 

 

 


 

 

 

In light of the unmet need, remestemcel-L has been granted Fast Track Designation and BLA Priority Review from the FDA.

 

A major milestone in the Company’s complete response to the FDA was the submission at the end of the last quarter of substantial new information on clinical and potency assay items to the Investigational New Drug (IND) file for remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with SR-aGVHD, as guided by FDA.

 

Mesoblast has optimized a potency assay that was in place at the time of the Phase 3 trial and which demonstrates a relationship between the product’s activity in-vitro and its effects on survival in the Phase 3 trial.

 

Additionally, Mesoblast has now generated data from the expanded access program (EAP 275) of 241 children which confirm the ability of the in-vitro potency assay to measure product activity relevant to survival outcomes.

 

Today Mesoblast provided new results from a four-year observational survival study performed by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) on 51 evaluable patients with SR-aGVHD who were enrolled in Mesoblast’s phase 3 clinical trial of remestemcel-L.

 

Overall survival in the remestemcel-L cohort was 63% at 1 year, 51% at 2 years, and 49% at 4 years, while across four recently published studies of children or adults with SR-aGVHD who received best available therapy (BAT) or the only FDA-approved agent for adults survival rates of 40-49% at 1 year and 25%-38% at 2 years were seen. 7-10

 

The new long-term survival data provide assurance that the short-term day 28 responses and early survival through 180 days in the 54-patient Phase 3 trial in children with SR-aGVHD previously presented to FDA in the original BLA submission are unlikely to have arisen by chance and are a cornerstone of the BLA resubmission.

 

Mesoblast is working towards a potential US approval for remestemcel-L and first product launch in H1 CY2023.

 

Additional indications for which remestemcel-L is being developed include acute respiratory distress syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

 

Rexlemestrocel-L

Chronic low back pain associated with degenerative disc disease:

 

Working towards FDA clearance by year end 2022 to commence the second Phase 3 trial for potential marketing approval in chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease.

 

Mesoblast gained alignment with the FDA on key metrics for the Phase 3 study in patients with CLBP.

 

The primary endpoint for the study will be reduction in pain at 12 months, in line with FDA discussions and feedback.

 

Chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in NYHA class II/III patients through to end-stage III/IV patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD):

 

Recent data from Phase 3 trial of 565 patients with HFrEF showed a single intervention with rexlemestrocel-L improves left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 12 months, preceding long-term reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

 

LVEF improvement at 12 months may be an appropriate early surrogate endpoint for long term reduction in MACE.

 

Plan to meet with FDA next quarter under existing regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designation to discuss common mechanism of action in HFrEF including those with LVADs, and potential pathway to marketing approval.

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (FIRST QUARTER FY2023)

 

Cash reserves as at September 30th were US$85.5 million. Up to an additional US$40.0 million may be drawn from existing financing facilities subject to achieving certain milestones, with current discussions to extend the period for the drawdown option.  

 

Net cash usage for operating activities in the quarter was US$14.3 million; this represented a 22% reduction (US$3.9 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2022, and a 47% reduction (US$12.5 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2021.

Revenue from royalties on sales of TEMCELL® HS Inj.1 sold in Japan by our licensee for the quarter were US$1.4 million and US$1.8 million on a constant currency basis.  For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 royalties were US$7.7 million, and on a constant currency basis2 US$9.0 million, a 9% increase on the comparative period.

In the comparative quarter, there was one-off milestone revenue of US$1.2 million from Takeda for Japan approval of Alofisel® (darvadstrocel) for perianal fistulas.

 

Research & Development expenses reduced by US$3.6 million (38%), down to US$5.7 million for the first quarter FY2023 compared to US$9.3 million for the first quarter FY2022 as clinical trial activities for our COVID-19 ARDS, CLBP and CHF product candidates reduced given clinical trial recruitment and data analysis is now complete.

 

Manufacturing expenses reduced by US$2.7 million (35%), down to US$4.8 million for the first quarter FY2023 compared to US$7.5 million for the first quarter FY2022. During the quarter we continued pre-launch manufacturing activities and product testing for remestemcel-L to support the potential commercial launch for SR-aGVHD.

We expect to recognize the US$28.0 million balance of remestemcel-L pre-launch inventory, and the balance of any further production completed at that time, on our balance sheet if we receive FDA approval.

 

Management and Administration expenses increased by US$1.0 million (17%), up to US$6.9 million for the first quarter FY2023 compared to US$5.9 million for the first quarter FY2022 primarily due to an increase in non-cash share-based payments and insurance costs.

 

Remeasurement of Contingent Consideration gains increased to US$4.5 million in the first quarter FY2023 compared to a gain of US$0.3 million for the first quarter FY2022 reflecting a reduction in future third party payments.

 

Fair value movement of warrants: recognized a loss of US$0.4 million in the first quarter FY2023 compared to Nil in the first quarter FY2022.

 

Finance Costs for borrowing arrangements with our lenders, Oaktree and NovaQuest, were US$4.5 million (actual cash interest paid US$1.2 million) for the first quarter FY2023, compared to US$3.7 million (actual cash interest paid US$1.2 million) for the first quarter FY2022.

 

Loss after tax for the first quarter FY2023 was US$16.9 million compared to US$22.6 million for the first quarter FY2022. The net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was 2.43 US cents per share for the first quarter FY2023, compared with 3.49 US cents per share for the first quarter FY2022.

Remestemcel-L: BLA Response to FDA CRL for Steroid-Refractory Graft Versus Host Disease Survival outcomes have not improved over the past two decades for children or adults with the most severe forms of SR-aGVHD. The lack of any approved treatments for children under 12 means that there is an urgent need for a therapy that improves the dismal survival outcomes in children In light of the unmet need, remestemcel-L has been granted Fast Track Designation and BLA Priority Review from the FDA A major milestone in the Company’s complete response to the FDA was the submission at the end of the last quarter of substantial new information on clinical and potency assay items to the Investigational New Drug (IND) file for remestemcel-L in the treatment of children with SR-aGVHD, as guided by FDA Mesoblast has optimized a potency assay that was in place at the time of the Phase 3 trial and which demonstrates a relationship between the product’s activity in vitro and its effects on survival in the Phase 3 trial Additionally, Mesoblast has now generated data from the expanded access program (EAP 275) of 241 children which confirm the ability of the in-vitro potency assay to measure product activity relevant to survival outcomes

Slide 5

Remestemcel-L: Long-Term Survival Data a Cornerstone of BLA Resubmission to FDA for SR-aGVHD Today Mesoblast provided new results from a four-year observational survival study performed by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) on 51 evaluable patients with SR-aGVHD who were enrolled in Mesoblast’s phase 3 clinical trial of remestemcel-L. Overall survival in the remestemcel-L cohort was 63% at 1 year, 51% at 2 years, and 49% at 4 years Across four recently published studies of children or adults with SR-aGVHD, 1 year survival of 40-49% and 2 year survival of 25%-38% were seen1-4 after best available therapy (BAT) or the only FDA-approved agent for adults, ruxolitinib The new long-term survival data provide assurance that the short-term day 28 responses and early survival through 180 days in the 54-patient Phase 3 trial in children with SR-aGVHD previously presented to FDA in the original BLA submission are unlikely to have arisen by chance These long-term survival outcomes are a cornerstone of the BLA resubmission 1.

Slide 8

Financial Highlights At September 30, 2022, cash-on-hand was US$85.5 million. Up to an additional US$40.0 million may be drawn from existing financing facilities subject to achieving certain milestones, with current discussions to extend the period for the drawdown option. Net cash usage for operating activities in the quarter was US$14.3 million; this represented a 22% reduction (US$3.9 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2022, and a 47% reduction (US$12.5 million) on the comparative quarter in FY2021. Revenue from royalties on sales of TEMCELL® HS Inj.1 sold in Japan by our licensee for the quarter were US$1.4 million and US$1.8 million on a constant currency basis. For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 royalties were US$7.7 million, and on a constant currency basis2 US$9.0 million, a 9% increase on the comparative period. TEMCELL® HS Inj. is a registered trademark of JCR Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. TEMCELL sales by our Licensee are recorded in Japanese Yen before being translated into USD for the purposes of calculating the royalty paid to Mesoblast. Results have been adjusted for the movement of the USD to Japanese Yen exchange rate from 1USD:110.2Yen for the 12 months ended September 30, 2021 to 1USD:129.2Yen for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022.

Slide 9

Reduction in Expenditure on R&D and Manufacturing, Improved Loss Before Tax Revenue Majority of change due to one-off licensing milestone in prior period and impact of currency movement Reduction in Expenditure: Expenditure for R&D, Manufacturing and Management & Administration inclusive of non-cash items, were US$17.5 million, a decrease of 23% (US$5.2 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 on the comparative quarter. Continued Investment in Manufacturing: During the quarter we continued pre-launch manufacturing activities and product testing for remestemcel-L to support the potential commercial launch for SR-aGVHD. On FDA approval, remestemcel-L inventory will be recognized on the balance sheet, currently at US$28.0 million. Finance Costs included actual cash interest paid of US$1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and 2022. The increase in reported Finance Costs was primarily due to the recognition of a non-cash gain on revaluation of our borrowings in the comparative year due to a reduction in expected value of future repayments.

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS

2022 MESOBLAST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

 

I am pleased to be with you today at this exciting time for Mesoblast.

 

Today we announced long-term survival results for our lead product remestemcel-L in children with severe steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD), a devastating disease with high mortality. The results showed durable survival through 4 years of follow-up reaffirming the potential significance of remestemcel-L as new life-saving treatment for children with SR-aGVHD where to date there are no other approved therapies. These new long-term survival data are a key component of the Company’s BLA resubmission to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

 

These long-term survival results follow our filing with FDA in October of substantial new information on clinical and potency assay items which they requested in their Complete Response Letter from 2020, and will be formally submitted to FDA.

 

We would hope to see a successful regulatory outcome for remestemcel-L during the first half of the upcoming calendar year.

 

As I told shareholders in the Annual Report, this approval would be the most transformative event in Mesoblast’s history – hence why I believe these are exciting times for our company.

 

In addition to preparing for the remestemcel-L BLA resubmission, we have been in regular contact with the FDA over the past year across our broad portfolio of products. Specifically, we have focused on pathways to market approval for rexlemestrocel-L in the treatment of chronic low back pain associated with degenerative disc disease and for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

In today’s quarterly financial report we show that the company is in strong financial shape to meet our commitments to bring our products to market. Management has continued to maintain reduced operating expenses year-on-year, strengthened the balance sheet, and successfully restructured long-term debt.

 

I’m pleased to say we welcomed two new Board members in the past year as we continued our program of Board renewal and enhancing Board diversity. The appointment of Dr Philip Krause and Ms Jane Bell have greatly added to our company’s expertise, especially as we move towards potential regulatory approval and commercialization of our lead asset as well as our follow-on products in Phase 3.

 

Let me thank the whole Board for their efforts in 2022 to continue to chart a course which we know is in the best interests of all shareholders.

 

I’d like to leave you with a simple message. Mesoblast will enter 2023 in a very strong position to take advantage of years of hard work and significant investment to develop our world-leading technologies.

 

I would like to thank the efforts of our Chief Executive Dr Silviu Itescu and his talented team. We know each stage of our development requires countless hours of dedicated effort and commitment. We can all see the finish line, in terms of a potential first US regulatory approval for one of our products, and we would not have got to where we are without the hard work of our management team.

 

Lastly, shareholders on behalf of your Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude for your ongoing support and confidence in our technology.

 

 

 


 

 

 

About Mesoblast

Mesoblast is a world leader in developing allogeneic (off-the-shelf) cellular medicines for the treatment of severe and life-threatening inflammatory conditions. The Company has leveraged its proprietary mesenchymal lineage cell therapy technology platform to establish a broad portfolio of late-stage product candidates which respond to severe inflammation by releasing anti-inflammatory factors that counter and modulate multiple effector arms of the immune system, resulting in significant reduction of the damaging inflammatory process.

 

Mesoblast has a strong and extensive global intellectual property portfolio with protection extending through to at least 2041 in all major markets. The Company’s proprietary manufacturing processes yield industrial-scale, cryopreserved, off-the-shelf, cellular medicines. These cell therapies, with defined pharmaceutical release criteria, are planned to be readily available to patients worldwide.

 

Mesoblast is developing product candidates for distinct indications based on its remestemcel-L and rexlemestrocel-L allogeneic stromal cell technology platforms. Remestemcel-L is being developed for inflammatory diseases in children and adults including steroid refractory acute graft versus host disease, biologic-resistant inflammatory bowel disease, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Rexlemestrocel-L is in development for advanced chronic heart failure and chronic low back pain. Two products have been commercialized in Japan and Europe by Mesoblast’s licensees, and the Company has established commercial partnerships in Europe and China for certain Phase 3 assets.

 

Mesoblast has locations in Australia, the United States and Singapore and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (MSB) and on the Nasdaq (MESO). For more information, please see www.mesoblast.com, LinkedIn: Mesoblast Limited and Twitter: @Mesoblast
