Second Quarter 2018 Business Highlights
Key Pipeline Progress
Regeneron has nineteen product candidates in clinical development, which consist of EYLEA and fully human antibodies generated using the Company's VelocImmune® technology, including eight in collaboration with Sanofi. Updates from the clinical pipeline include:
EYLEA® (aflibercept) Injection
- The Company recently submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for EYLEA for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
- In the second quarter of 2018, the Company submitted an sBLA for EYLEA in a pre-filled syringe.
Dupixent® (dupilumab) Injection
- Dupixent, an antibody that blocks signaling of IL-4 and IL-13, is being studied in asthma, adolescent and pediatric atopic dermatitis, nasal polyps, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and grass immunotherapy, with additional studies planned in 2018.
- In
May 2018 , the Company and Sanofi reported that a Phase 3 trial evaluating Dupixent to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adolescents (12-17 years of age) met its primary and key secondary endpoints. - In
May 2018 , the Company and Sanofi announced that theNew England Journal of Medicine published detailed, positive results from two Phase 3 trials of Dupixent in moderate-to-severe asthma. - In the second quarter of 2018, a Phase 2 study of Dupixent in grass immunotherapy was initiated.
Praluent® (alirocumab) Injection
- In
May 2018 , the Company and Sanofi announced they will lower the net price of Praluent in exchange for straightforward, more affordable patient access from Express Scripts. Praluent has been chosen as the exclusive PCSK9 inhibitor therapy on the Express Scripts national formulary. The agreement took effect onJuly 1, 2018 . - An sBLA and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Praluent for cardiovascular risk reduction have been recently submitted.
- An sBLA for first-line treatment of hyperlipidemia has also been recently submitted.
- In the second quarter of 2018, a Phase 3 pediatric study in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) was initiated.
Cemiplimab, an antibody to PD-1, is being studied in patients with cancer.
- In
April 2018 , the FDA accepted for priority review the BLA for cemiplimab for the treatment of patients with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) or patients with locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for surgery. The target action date for the FDA decision isOctober 28, 2018 . - In
April 2018 , theEuropean Medicines Agency (EMA) also accepted for review the MAA for cemiplimab in patients with metastatic CSCC or patients with locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for surgery. - In
June 2018 , the Company and Sanofi announced that pivotal data from two trials evaluating cemiplimab in advanced CSCC were published in theNew England Journal of Medicine . - In
May 2018 , the Company and Sanofi announced positive interim results from a Phase 1 study assessing cemiplimab as a potential treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Fasinumab, an antibody targeting Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), is being studied in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip.
- In
April 2018 , an independent Data Monitoring Committee monitoring the ongoing safety and efficacy of the fasinumab clinical trials recommended that the higher dose-regimens be discontinued based on the risk benefit assessment and that the program may continue with the lower dose-regimens of fasinumab; the ongoing osteoarthritis trials have been modified accordingly. Since the Phase 3 clinical study in chronic low back pain in patients with concomitant osteoarthritis was only using higher doses, the Company is no longer actively dosing patients in this study.
Evinacumab is an antibody to ANGPTL3. In the second quarter of 2018, a Phase 3 study in severe hypertriglyceridemia was initiated.
REGN3500 is an antibody to IL-33. In the third quarter of 2018, a Phase 2 study in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was initiated.
REGN3918 (pozelimab) is an antibody to C5. The Company expects to report full data from its Phase 1 study in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) in the second half of 2018, and plans to initiate a Phase 2 study in PNH in early 2019.
REGN4018 is a bi-specific antibody targeting MUC16 and CD3. In the second quarter of 2018, a Phase 1 study in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer was initiated.
REGN4659 is an antibody against CTLA4. In the second quarter of 2018, a Phase 1 study in advanced NSCLC was initiated.

This press release uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP unreimbursed R&D, and non-GAAP SG&A, which are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with
The Company makes such adjustments for items the Company does not view as useful in evaluating its operating performance. For example, adjustments may be made for items that fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within the Company's control (such as the Company's stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued or changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments) or items that are not associated with normal, recurring operations (such as changes in applicable laws and regulations). Management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning, budgeting, forecasting, assessing historical performance, and making financial and operational decisions, and also provides forecasts to investors on this basis. Additionally, such non-GAAP measures provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company's core business operations. However, there are limitations in the use of these and other non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude certain expenses that are recurring in nature. Furthermore, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Any non-GAAP financial measure presented by Regeneron should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's historical GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release. |
