Coralville, IA – March 29, 2018 – KemPharm, Inc. (NASDAQ: KMPH), a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs, today reported its corporate and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017, including an update on development and regulatory events involving its prodrug development pipeline.

 

“The past several months has been an important period for KemPharm, highlighted by the initiation of a pivotal efficacy trial of our lead ADHD prodrug product candidate KP415 and the FDA approval of APADAZ, our benzhydrocodone/acetaminophen prodrug product for short-term management of acute pain,” said Travis C. Mickle, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of KemPharm.  “These notable events, coupled with several advancements across our product pipeline, are a testament to the value potential of our LAT™ (Ligand Activated Therapy) prodrug platform and the team.  We believe that these events have set the stage for what could be a milestone-rich 2018 and beyond.”

 

“Since inception, KemPharm’s vision has been to develop a portfolio of proprietary prodrugs that are designed to be differentiated versions of widely prescribed, currently approved drugs, and that can successfully complete the rigorous FDA regulatory pharmaceutical approval process,” Dr. Mickle added.  “We believe the approval of APADAZ has validated the vision we have for our platform products, and our co-lead clinical development product candidates, KP415 and KP484, are progressing as planned.”

 

“We believe we are at a key inflection point in the company’s growth and look forward to pursuing multiple internal and external opportunities to maximize our prodrug expertise and the potential that prodrugs can offer throughout the healthcare continuum,” Mickle concluded.

 

 

 

 

Q4 and Full-Year 2017 Financial Results:

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2017, KemPharm’s reported net loss was $10.6 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $9.9 million, or $0.68 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2016. Net loss for Q4 2017 was driven primarily by a loss from operations of $8.2 million, net interest expense and other items of $1.7 million, and non-cash fair value adjustment expense of $0.7 million. Loss from operations decreased $2.6 million from $10.8 million in Q4 2016 to $8.2 million in Q4 2017, which was primarily due to a decrease of $2.4 million in research and development expenses, and a decrease of $0.2 million in general and administrative expenses. 

 

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017, was $43.4 million, or $2.96 per basic and diluted share, an increase of $26.9 million compared to net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $16.5 million, or $1.13 per basic and diluted share. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to a period-over-period change of $35.6 million in fair value adjustment related to changes in the derivative and warrant liability for each period resulting in non-cash expense of $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to non-cash income of $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase in net loss was partially offset by a decrease of $4.1 million in loss from operations, which was $33.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The decrease in loss from operations was driven primarily by the non-recurrence in 2017 of severance expense and a reduction of $1.2 million in general and administrative expenses.  In addition, non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt recognized during the year ended December 31, 2016, did not recur in 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2017, total cash and security-related amounts, which is comprised of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, trade date receivables and long-term investments, was $48.6 million, which reflected a decrease of $7.0 million compared to September 30, 2017. 

 

During Q1 2018, the Company initiated sales of its common stock under its ATM (“at-the-market”) offering, and through March 28, 2018, has raised gross proceeds of $2.9 million from the sale of 446,111 common shares, with remaining availability under the ATM offering of $47.1 million. 

 

Based on the Company’s current operating forecast, existing resources as of December 31, 2017 are not expected to be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through Q1 2019, primarily due to entering into certain materials supply arrangements subsequent to the approval of APADAZ required to prepare for product commercialization, as well as an acceleration of certain elements of the KP415 clinical program.  As a result, the Company anticipates that the audited financial statements included with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will contain an audit opinion from its independent registered public accounting firm that will include a going concern emphasis matter paragraph.  The Company plans to continue its ATM offering to provide a portion of the capital needed to fund ongoing operations.

Recent and Fourth Quarter 2017 Activities:

 

 

Announced FDA Approval of APADAZ (benzhydrocodone and acetaminophen) for the Short-Term Management of Acute Pain 

 

On February 23, 2018, KemPharm announced that the FDA approved its New Drug Application (NDA) for APADAZ for the short-term (no more than 14 days) management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.  APADAZ is an immediate release (IR) combination of KemPharm’s prodrug, benzhydrocodone, and acetaminophen (APAP).

 

 

Initiated Pivotal Efficacy Trial of KP415, an ADHD Prodrug Composition Candidate 

 

On January 8, 2018, KemPharm reported the successful December initiation of a “classroom-style” pivotal efficacy trial of KP415, the company’s extended release d-methylphenidate (d-MPH) prodrug composition product candidate for the treatment of ADHD.  The trial is designed to support a potential label for KP415 for both early onset and long duration of treatment effect in ADHD patients.  The trial is a multicenter, dose-optimized, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel efficacy laboratory classroom trial with children aged 6 to 12 years with a diagnosis of ADHD.  Enrollment in the trial is expected to total approximately 140 patients across five clinical sites in the United States, and it is anticipated that all patients will have completed the trial by the end of second quarter of 2018.  Each patient that completes the trial will be treated for a total of up to four weeks.

 

Previously, on November 16, 2017, KemPharm reported the completion of an End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the FDA for KP415.  KemPharm held the EOP2 meeting with the FDA to discuss the status of the proposed clinical, non-clinical and abuse liability studies, as well as chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) programs required for eventual submission of an NDA for KP415.

 

 

Announced that the FDA Granted Clearance for the KP484 IND, Enabling KP484 to Proceed to Clinical Studies 

 

On November 2, 2017, KemPharm announced that the FDA completed its safety review of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for KP484, the Company’s prodrug product candidate of “super-extended” release d-MPH and concluded that the company may proceed with its planned clinical investigation for the treatment of ADHD. Submitted under Section 505(i) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, KemPharm’s IND proposes to develop KP484 along a similar clinical trial pathway as its current co-lead investigation prodrug of d-MPH for the treatment of ADHD, KP415.  Efficacy studies of KP484 are anticipated to be initiated in 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

Received USAN Approval for “Asalhydromorphone” as Nonproprietary Name for Novel Prodrug Candidate, KP511 

 

On November 6, 2017, KemPharm announced that the USAN Council approved the use of the nonproprietary name, "Asalhydromorphone (Asal-HM)," for use as the descriptor for the active pharmaceutical ingredient of its opioid-base pain treatment product candidate, KP511.  Asal-HM is a prodrug of hydromorphone being developed as a potentially less abusable hydromorphone product for the treatment of pain severe enough to require daily, long-term opioid treatment.  Chemically, Asal-HM (KP511) is a conjugate of hydromorphone and two acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) moieties.  It is believed that the resulting conjugate may lead to a lower abuse potential than hydromorphone by itself.

 

 

Granted Patent for KP606, a Prodrug of Oxycodone; Additional Patent Granted for the KP511-related family, a Prodrug of Hydromorphone

 

On January 23, 2018, KemPharm announced further enhancements to its U.S. and global intellectual property estate governing its portfolio of prodrug product candidates with the receipt of an initial patent issued for KP606, KemPharm’s prodrug of oxycodone (U.S. Patent No. 9,850,252), as well as an additional composition of matter patent to enhance the existing family of patents related to KP511 (U.S. Patent 9,849,185).

 

 

Entered into Licensing and Assignment Agreement with Genco Sciences to Develop Prodrug-Based Therapy for Potential Rare Pediatric Indications of Tourette’s Syndrome with ADHD 

 

On October 4, 2017, KemPharm entered into a technology licensing and assignment agreement with Genco Sciences, LLC (Genco) whereby KemPharm anticipates utilizing Genco’s early research-stage proprietary program to devise a unique prodrug to be developed as a treatment for pediatric Tourette’s syndrome when accompanied by ADHD. Under terms of the agreement, KemPharm will be responsible for financing and managing all product development.  In exchange, KemPharm will retain full intellectual property and commercial ownership of any product developed as a result of this agreement, and Genco will be eligible to receive certain milestone and royalty-based or value-share payments.

 

About KemPharm:

 

KemPharm is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs to treat serious medical conditions through its proprietary LAT™ (Ligand Activated Therapy) platform technology. KemPharm utilizes its proprietary LAT platform technology to generate improved prodrug versions of FDA-approved drugs in the high need areas of ADHD, pain and other central nervous system disorders. KemPharm’s co-lead clinical development candidates are KP415 and KP484, both based on a prodrug of methylphenidate, but with differing extended-release/effect profiles for the treatment of ADHD. In addition, the company has received FDA approval for APADAZ™, an immediate-release combination product candidate of benzhydrocodone, a prodrug of hydrocodone, and acetaminophen. The company is also advancing KP201/IR, an acetaminophen-free immediate-release formulation of the company’s benzhydrocodone prodrug candidate. Both APADAZ and KP201/IR are intended for the treatment of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate. For more information on KemPharm and its pipeline of prodrug product candidates visit www.kempharm.com.

 

 

 

 

APADAZ

 

APADAZ was developed from KemPharm’s proprietary LAT (Ligand Activated Therapy) platform technology and is intended for the short-term (no more than 14 days) management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate. KemPharm believes APADAZ is unique among prescription opioids in that it contains a prodrug that is chemically inert, or inactive, on its own.  When ingested, enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract cleave the ligand from the prodrug (benzhydrocodone) and release the parent drug (hydrocodone), which can then exert its therapeutic effect.  The final approved product labeling for APADAZ includes these and other data points but concludes that the overall results of the clinical program did not demonstrate abuse-deterrence by current measurement standards.

 

The approval of APADAZ via the 505(b)(2) pathway was based in part on pharmacokinetic studies with Vicoprofen®, Ultracet®, and Norco® in which APADAZ demonstrated exposure to hydrocodone and acetaminophen (APAP) that is expected to result in therapeutic effects equivalent to currently approved immediate-release hydrocodone/APAP combination products when administered orally as intended.

 

Indication:

APADAZ contains an opioid agonist and acetaminophen and is indicated for the short-term (no more than 14 days) management of acute pain severe enough to require an opioid analgesic and for which alternative treatments are inadequate.

 

Limitations of Use:

Because of the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse with opioids, even at recommended doses, reserve APADAZ for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options [e.g., non-opioid analgesics] have not been or are not expected tolerated, or have not provided adequate analgesia, or are not expected to provide adequate analgesia.

 

Important Safety Information:

 

APADAZ is contraindicated in patients with: significant respiratory depression; acute or severe bronchial asthma in an unmonitored setting or in absence of resuscitative equipment; known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, including paralytic ileus; and hypersensitivity to hydrocodone or acetaminophen.

 

APADAZ contains benzhydrocodone, a Schedule II controlled substance. APADAZ can be abused and is subject to misuse, addiction, and criminal diversion.

 

Potential risks associated with APADAZ include addiction, abuse, and misuse, life-threatening respiratory depression, neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, risks of concomitant use or discontinuation of cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers, acetaminophen hepatoxicity risks from concomitant use with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, risk of life-threatening respiratory depression in patients with chronic pulmonary disease or in elderly, cachectic, or debilitated patients, adrenal insufficiency, severe hypotension, serious skin reactions, risks of use in patients with increased intracranial pressure, brain tumors, head injury, or impaired consciousness, hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis, risks of use in patients with gastrointestinal conditions, risk of use in patients with seizure disorders, and withdrawal, risks of driving and operating machinery. 

 

 Potential drug interactions with APADAZ include:

 

 

Serotonergic Drugs: Concomitant use may result in serotonin syndrome.  Discontinue APADAZ if serotonin syndrome is suspected.

 

Mixed Agonist/Antagonist and Partial Agonist Opioid Analgesics: Avoid use with APADAZ because they may reduce analgesic effect of APADAZ or precipitate withdrawal symptoms.

 

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs): Can potentiate the effects of hydrocodone. Avoid concomitant use in patients receiving MAOIs or within 14 days of stopping treatment with an MAOI.

 

 Most common adverse reactions (>5%) are nausea, somnolence, vomiting, constipation, pruritus, dizziness, and headache.

 

 

 

 

The Full Prescribing Information for APADAZ contains the following Boxed Warning:

 

WARNING: ADDICTION, ABUSE, AND MISUSE; LIFE-THREATENING RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION; ACCIDENTAL INGESTION; NEONATAL OPIOID WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME; CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 INTERACTION; HEPATOTOXICITY; and RISKS FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH BENZODIAZEPINES OR OTHER CNS DEPRESSANTS

 

Addiction, Abuse, and Misuse:

 

APADAZ exposes patients and other users to the risks of opioid addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess each patient’s risk prior to prescribing APADAZ and monitor all patients regularly for the development of these behaviors and conditions.

 

Life-Threatening Respiratory Depression:

 

Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur with use of APADAZ.  Monitor for respiratory depression, especially during initiation of APADAZ or following a dose increase.

 

Accidental Ingestion:

 

Accidental ingestion of even one dose of APADAZ, especially by children, can result in a fatal overdose of hydrocodone.

 

Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome:

 

Prolonged use of APADAZ during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated, and requires management according to protocols developed by neonatology experts.  If prolonged opioid use is required in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available.

 

Cytochrome P450 3A4 Interaction:

 

The concomitant use of APADAZ with all cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors may result in an increase in hydrocodone plasma concentrations, which could increase or prolong adverse reactions and may cause potentially fatal respiratory depression. In addition, discontinuation of a concomitantly used cytochrome P450 3A4 inducer may result in an increase in hydrocodone plasma concentration. Monitor patients receiving APADAZ and any CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer.

 

Hepatotoxicity:

 

APADAZ contains acetaminophen. Acetaminophen has been associated with cases of acute liver failure, at times resulting in liver transplant and death. Most of the cases of liver injury are associated with the use of acetaminophen at doses that exceed 4000 milligrams per day, and often involve more than one acetaminophen-containing product.

 

 

 

 

Risks From Concomitant Use With Benzodiazepines Or Other CNS Depressants:

 

Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death.

 

 

Reserve concomitant prescribing of APADAZ and benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate.

 

Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required.

 

Follow patients for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation.
