Timber Pharmaceuticals Provides Business Update and Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

-Timber Received Orphan Designation from European Commission for Lead Asset TMB-001-

-Recruitment for the pivotal Phase 3 ASCEND clinical trial continues to progress; expected to enroll more than 140 patients with moderate to severe Congenital Ichthyosis-

 

 

BASKING RIDGE, NJ, - (NewMediaWire) - November 14, 2022 - Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Timber" or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TMBR), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for rare and orphan dermatologic diseases, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022, ended September 30, 2022.

John Koconis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Timber, commented, “In the third quarter, Timber continued to progress and achieve important milestones. This included receiving notice, and then the official orphan designation in October, from the European Commission (EC) for TMB-001 for the treatment of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI). This designation will provide Timber with market exclusivity for TMB-001 in the European Union once we receive FDA approval. Together with the positive comments we received on our Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP), and the final discussion scheduled for mid-November, we believe we have a path to filing a European Marketing Authorization Application. These designations are in addition to the orphan designation and associated market exclusivity for TMB-001 that Timber was previously awarded in the U.S.  Timber is continuing to expand the intellectual property around our lead program with an additional patent granted in the U.S. as well as initial patents granted in S. Korea, Japan and Australia earlier in 2022.

“At TMB-001’s late stage of development, it’s also appropriate for us to explore partnerships and licensing agreements, and we’re speaking with many potential candidates throughout Europe. During the quarter, we were excited to have the Phase 2b results published in an online peer reviewed journal for the first time, in the prestigious Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD). Recruitment for the pivotal Phase 3 ASCEND clinical trial that we began in June is progressing on plan as well. Timber ended the quarter with approximately $11.2 million in cash, more than adequate runway to complete recruitment for the approximately 140 patients required for the Phase 3 trial. We recently effected a reverse stock split as we believe it is important to maintain the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American exchange. With this action, an improved capital structure and TMB-001’s late stage of development, we believe that Timber is better positioned to complete the development plan for TMB-001,” concluded Mr. Koconis.

Recent Highlights

·       Subsequent to quarter end, Timber received official orphan designation from the European Commission (EC) for its lead asset, TMB-001, a topical isotretinoin formulated using Timber's patented IPEGTM delivery system, for the treatment of X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XRI) and autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis lamellar ichthyosis (ARCI-LI). 

 

·       Also in late October, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Pediatric Committee (PDCO) provided positive comments on Timber’s Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) for the treatment of ARCI and X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLRI), setting the basis for a final discussion in mid-November, which is a prerequisite for filing a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the EMA. Timber continued to expand its program by applying for European orphan designation for TMB-001 for XLRI in late October.

 

·       In September 2022, Timber announced that it had received a positive opinion on its application for orphan designation from the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for TMB-001.

 

·       In September 2022, Timber made multiple presentations at the 31st Annual European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress that highlighted the results of the Phase 2b CONTROL Study. Timber expects additional publication of the Phase 2b study data analysis on TMB-001 in the coming months.

 

·       In August 2022, the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) published online the results from the Phase 2b CONTROL Study that demonstrated TMB-001s clinically meaningful efficacy with a favorable safety profile. JAAD published the TMB-001 Phase 2a data its November 2022 issue.

·       On June 23, 2022, Timber announced that it had enrolled the first patients in its Phase 3 ASCEND clinical trial. Recruitment has been proceeding to plan with over 20% enrollment to date. The pivotal trial is expected to enroll more than 140 patients with moderate to severe Congenital Ichthyosis at leading research centers in the U.S., Canada, Italy, France, and Germany. In Spring 2022, Timber received Breakthrough Therapy designation and Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for TMB-001.

 

·       Timber recognized no revenue in the third quarter of 2022 compared to revenue of $225,128 for the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, Timber recognized revenue of $83,177 in the 2022 period and $400,789 in the 2021 period. Revenue for all periods consisted of reimbursements from achieving certain clinical milestones in the development of TMB-001, part of a $1.5 million grant from the FDA’s Orphan Products Clinical Trials Grants Program. 

 

·       Timber ended the third quarter with approximately $11.2 million in cash and 2.7 million shares of common stock outstanding after giving retroactive effect to a 1-for-50 reverse split of its shares of common stock on November 9, 2022in order to regain compliance with NYSE requirements. Subsequent to quarter end on October 3, 2022, Timber raised $1.3 million in gross proceeds through the sale of common stock and warrants.
