Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Corporate Update

Poziotinib NDA on track for 2021 submission

New poziotinib twice daily dosing (BID) data presented at AACR demonstrated improved anti-tumor activity and better tolerance

FDA pre-approval inspection at the ROLONTIS® manufacturing facility scheduled for May 2021

Management to host webcast and conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. PT

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on novel and targeted oncology therapies, announced today financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and provided a corporate update.

“Our top priority is submission of the NDA to the FDA for poziotinib based on the positive data from Cohort 2 of the ZENITH20 clinical trial,” said Joe Turgeon, President and CEO of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. “The additional data on twice daily dosing presented at AACR has the potential to significantly expand the value of poziotinib. We also look forward to the FDA’s pre-approval inspection of the ROLONTIS manufacturing facility which has been scheduled for later this month.”

Pipeline Updates

Poziotinib, an irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting EGFR and HER2 mutations

  • Spectrum is actively working on its new drug application (NDA) for the use of poziotinib in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. Submission of the NDA, based on the positive results of Cohort 2 from the ZENITH20 clinical trial, is planned for later this year.
  • New data was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting 2021 from ZENITH20 Cohort 5 which demonstrated improved efficacy and tolerability for twice daily (BID) dosing. In the 38 patients, with EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations, who received 16mg per day and randomized either to poziotinib 16mg once daily (QD) or 8mg BID in Cohort 5, improved responses were observed in the BID arm with 31.6% of patients reaching a partial response, and Grade 3 or higher related adverse events were reduced by approximately 60%. Additionally, the BID dosing allowed for an improved rate of dose reductions and interruptions relative to the QD dose.
  • Faster enrollment is expected in Cohort 5 which is now dosing exclusively at 8mg BID.
  • Enrollment of first-line patients with NSCLC HER2 exon 20 mutations is continuing for Cohort 4 of the ZENITH20 clinical trial. Poziotinib is being administered at a dose of 8mg BID in first line treatment.
  • A poster titled “CNS activity of poziotinib in NSCLC with exon 20 insertion mutations” based on data from Cohorts 1-3 has been accepted for presentation at ASCO.

ROLONTIS (eflapegrastim), a novel long-acting G-CSF

  • The FDA’s pre-approval inspection of the ROLONTIS manufacturing facility has been scheduled for later this month and pre-commercial preparation activities are underway.

About ZENITH20

The ZENITH20 study consists of seven cohorts of NSCLC patients. Cohorts 1 (EGFR) and 2 (HER2) have completed enrollment of previously treated NSCLC patients with exon 20 mutations. Cohorts 3 (EGFR) and 4 (HER2) are currently enrolling first-line NSCLC patients with exon 20 mutations. Cohorts 1- 4 are each independently powered for a pre-specified statistical hypothesis and the primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR). Cohort 5 includes previously treated or treatment-naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR or HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. Cohort 6 includes NSCLC patients with classical EGFR mutations who progressed while on treatment with first-line osimertinib and developed an additional EGFR mutation. Cohort 7 includes NSCLC patients with a variety of less common mutations in EGFR or HER2 exons 18-21 or the extracellular or transmembrane domains.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (from Continuing Operations)

In this press release, Spectrum reports certain historical results that have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. Non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables of this press release and the accompanying footnotes. The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude the items summarized in the below table.

Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these items are not indicative of the company's on-going core operating performance. Management uses non-GAAP net loss in its evaluation of the company's core after-tax results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by management in its operational decision-making. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates a comparison of the company’s underlying operating performance with that of other companies in its industry, which use similar non-GAAP measures to supplement their GAAP results.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures contained within this news release with our GAAP financial results.

(1) Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses (from continuing operations): These amounts reflect adjustments to reverse allocated operating expenses for certain non-cash items including stock-based compensation, depreciation and lease expense. We believe the resulting non-GAAP SG&A value is reflective of the period-over-period success of our administrative expense control and more indicative of our normalized SG&A expense trends.

(2) Non-GAAP research and development expenses (from continuing operations): These amounts reflect adjustments to reverse allocated operating expenses for certain non-cash items including stock-based compensation and depreciation. We believe this resulting non-GAAP R&D value is more indicative of our normalized R&D expense trends.

(3) Non-GAAP net loss (from continuing operations): These amounts reflect all non-GAAP adjustments described in (1) through (2) above, plus other non-cash and/or non-recurring items, including: (i) adjustments to reverse the impact of income taxes; (ii) reversal of foreign exchange gains and losses (non-cash); (iii) reversal of the mark-to-market adjustment (non-cash) on our equity securities holdings; and (iv) reversal of realized gain recorded on the sales of our equity holdings.

(4) Non-GAAP net loss per share (from continuing operations): These amounts reflect all non-GAAP adjustments in (1) through (3) above to present our overall non-GAAP financial results for each period on a per-share basis.
