Current report

Obicetrapib has shown to not only reduce LDL-C but also several additional biomarkers associated with MACE. To date, obicetrapib has shown reductions in non-HDL-C, apolipoprotein B, and small dense lipoprotein particles. In our clinical trials, we have also observed reductions in Lp(a), which is believed to be an independent MACE risk factor, along with reductions in total lipoprotein (“LDL”) particles and more specifically small LDL particles, which are believed to be more atherogenic particles.

Current report

CVD is a leading cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”) is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which involves the build-up of fatty material within the inner walls of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of heart attacks, strokes and peripheral vascular disease. One of the most important risk factors for ASCVD is hypercholesterolemia, which refers to elevated LDL-C levels within the body, commonly known as high cholesterol.

Current report

A significant proportion of patients with high cholesterol do not achieve acceptable LDL-C levels using statin therapy alone. We estimate that in the United States there are approximately 30 million patients that are not at their risk-based LDL-C goals despite treatment with lipid lowering therapy, including approximately 13 million with ASCVD. Existing non-statin treatment options have been largely unable to address the needs of patients with high cholesterol due to limited efficacy, an inconvenient injectable administration route and, in the past, market access restrictions. It is estimated that over 75% of ASCVD and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (“HeFH”) outpatients prefer oral drugs to injectable therapies.

Current report

As of March 31, 2025 we had cash and cash equivalents of $748.4 million as compared to $771.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The reduction in cash and cash equivalents is primarily driven by ongoing operating expenditures, partially offset by the first of two development cost contributions from our partner Menarini and cash received from interest and the exercise of options.

Current report

On May 7, 2025, we announced additional data from the BROADWAY and TANDEM pivotal Phase 3 studies were presented as late-breaking oral presentations at the European Atherosclerosis Society Congress 2025 and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine (BROADWAY) and The Lancet (TANDEM).

Current report

Revenue was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.6 million or 113%. In both periods all revenues were recognized from the opening balance of deferred revenue in the period. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 is primarily attributable to the increase in transaction price attributable to the R&D performance obligation as a result of the recognition in 2024 of the first of two annual development cost contributions pursuant to the terms of the Menarini License.

Current report

a $4.8 million increase in non-clinical expenses due to greater activity related to pipeline expansion and product lifecycle management;

Current report

a $2.2 million increase in manufacturing expenses driven by investments in commercial manufacturing capabilities; and

Current report

a partially offsetting $8.1 million decrease in clinical expenses mainly due to the completion of several Phase 3 clinical trials in the second half of 2024.

Current report

a $0.8 million increase in costs related to our intellectual property primarily driven by worldwide patent filings.

Current report

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $36.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $54.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $18.1 million. This change was primarily due to an increase in interest income and the receipt of the first of two annual development cost contributions due under the Menarini License.

Current report

Net cash flows (used in)/provided by investing activities was $2.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $(0.4 million) in the three months ended March 31, 2024, a change of $3.3 million. The change is primarily due to our investments in available-for-sale debt securities of which we had none in the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 maturities of debt securities totaled $12.5 million, partially offset by purchases of debt securities totaling $9.6 million.

Current report

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $6.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $198.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $191.7 million. This decrease was primarily related to the receipt of proceeds from the February 2024 offering in the prior year.
Removed paragraphs (34)

Previous report

As of September 30, 2024 we had cash of $422.7 million as compared to $340.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase in cash is primarily driven by the proceeds of the Offering (as defined below), Warrant (as defined below) exercises and the achievement of a clinical development milestone partially offset by cash outflows related to research and development costs as we continue development of obicetrapib and increased spending on selling, general and administrative expenses to support our growing organization. While we currently qualify as an “emerging growth company,” we will no longer qualify as such as of December 31, 2024 and, as a result, we will no longer be able to avail ourselves of certain reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and expect to incur increased expenses as a result.

Previous report

On July 8, 2024, we announced the completion of patient enrollment in the pivotal Phase 3 TANDEM clinical trial evaluating the fixed-dose combination (“FDC”) of obicetrapib plus ezetimibe in adult patients with HeFH and/or ASCVD or multiple risk factors for ASCVD, whose LDL-C is not adequately controlled despite being on maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapies. The co-primary endpoints of the placebo-controlled, double-blind, four-arm, randomized TANDEM trial evaluate the effect of the FDC of 10 mg obicetrapib and 10 mg ezetimibe on the change in LDL-C levels from baseline, compared to ezetimibe 10 mg monotherapy, to obicetrapib 10 mg monotherapy and to placebo. A fourth co-primary endpoint was added to evaluate the effect of 10 mg obicetrapib monotherapy compared to placebo. Secondary endpoints include evaluating the percent change from baseline of the FDC on lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The trial will also evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of the FDC. We expect to report topline data in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Previous report

Positive Topline Data from Pivotal Phase 3 BROOKLYN Clinical Trial

Previous report

On July 29, 2024, we announced positive topline data from our Phase 3 BROOKLYN clinical trial (NCT05425745). The BROOKLYN trial met its primary endpoint, with the obicetrapib arm achieving a statistically significant reduction of LDL-C versus placebo at day 84. An LS mean reduction of 36.3% (p < 0.0001) was observed compared to placebo at day 84, which was sustained at day 365 with an LS mean LDL-C reduction of 41.5% (p < 0.0001). The observed reductions in other biomarkers, including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“HDL-C”), non-HDL-C, lipoprotein(a), and apolipoprotein B, met statistical significance.

Previous report

Revenue was $29.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $26.2 million or 890%. This increase was largely due to a clinical success milestone of $27.3 million pursuant to the Menarini License, which was earned in the three months ended September 30, 2024 while there were no clinical success milestones earned during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The amount of deferred revenue that was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.1 million less than the amount of deferred revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which accounts for the remainder of the change.

Previous report

a $6.6 million decrease in clinical expenses related to clinical trials which are completed or nearing completion;

Previous report

a partially offsetting $0.8 million increase in personnel costs.

Previous report

The following table summarizes our selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods indicated:

Previous report

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Previous report

Revenue was $32.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $19.5 million, or 147%. This increase was largely due to the recognition of $27.3 million of revenue from the Menarini License related to a clinical development milestone achieved in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.4 million of revenue related to clinical development milestones recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenue related to clinical development milestones pursuant to the Menarini License was partially offset by a decrease in the amount of previously deferred revenue recognized from the Menarini License related to the research and development performance obligation. The amount of such revenue recognized was $5.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $7.9 million recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report

Research and development expenses were $116.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $118.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 1%. This change is made up of:

Previous report

a $1.7 million decrease in non-clinical expenses related to pre-clinical studies;

Previous report

a partially offsetting $1.1 million increase in personnel expenses; and

Previous report

a partially offsetting $5.6 million increase in clinical expenses driven by costs incurred in the first half of 2024 as the Company enrolled and executed its clinical trial program, slightly offset by an reduction of costs in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as certain clinical trials are completed or nearing completion.

Previous report

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $49.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $22.3 million, or 82%. This change is made up of:

Previous report

a $1.2 million increase in facility-related and other costs; and

Previous report

a partially offsetting $2.8 million decrease in finance and administration expenses which is primarily due to costs incurred in 2023 in connection with an underwritten public offering of Ordinary Shares by certain of our shareholders. We did not sell any Ordinary Shares in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.

Previous report

The following table summarizes our selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods indicated:

Previous report

Interest income was $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $3.8 million, or 44%. This increase was driven by interest earned on cash balances.

Previous report

"NAMS" and "NAMSW," respectively, and an increase from 40% to 65% in the estimated probability of completing the milestone related to the earnout which is an input to the fair value of the derivative earnout liability.

Previous report

Loss for the period was $149.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $127.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $22.0 million. The individual components of the change are described above.

Previous report

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $121.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $108.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $13.0 million. This change was primarily due to an increase in research and development and selling, general and administrative expenditures, the underlying reasons for which are described above, partially offset by an increase in revenue earned related to clinical development milestones in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Previous report

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $0.7 million. This change was primarily due to investments in internal use software and computer equipment to support our growing organization.

Previous report

Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $202.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $194.0 million. This change was primarily related to the Offering, which generated net proceeds of $190.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The remaining change is due to a $4.8 million increase in the proceeds received from the exercise of Warrants, partially offset by a $0.5 million net outflow upon the exercise of options after taking into account the payment of related withholding taxes.

Previous wording

We are a late-stage biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with metabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. We seek to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well tolerated and convenient low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”) lowering therapy. In multiple phase 3 studies, we are investigating obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily cholesteryl ester transfer protein (“CETP”) inhibitor, alone or as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as preferred LDL-C lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to statin therapy for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease with elevated LDL-C, for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well tolerated. We believe that CETP inhibition may also play a role in other indications by potentially mitigating the risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or Type 2 diabetes.

Current wording

We are a late-stage biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with cardiometabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. We seek to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well tolerated and convenient low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”) lowering therapy. In multiple Phase 3 trials, we have investigated obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose, once-daily, highly selective cholesteryl ester transfer protein (“CETP”) inhibitor, alone or as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as preferred LDL-C lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to statin therapy for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) with elevated LDL-C, for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well tolerated. We believe that CETP inhibition may also play a role in other indications by potentially mitigating the risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Previous wording

Our product candidate, obicetrapib, is a next-generation, oral, low-dose CETP inhibitor that we are developing to potentially overcome the limitations of current LDL-C lowering treatments. We believe that obicetrapib has the potential to be a once-daily oral CETP inhibitor for lowering LDL-C, if approved. In our Phase 2 ROSE2 clinical trial evaluating obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe as an adjunct to high-intensity statin therapy, obicetrapib met its primary and secondary endpoints, with statistically significant reductions in LDL-C and apolipoprotein observed. In our Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, TULIP, ROSE, OCEAN, ROSE2, our Japan Phase 2b trial and BROOKLYN evaluating obicetrapib as a monotherapy or a combination therapy with ezetimibe 10 mg, we observed statistically significant LDL-C lowering with side effects similar in frequency and severity to placebo including muscle related side effects and drug-related treatment-emergent serious adverse events. We have observed a favorable tolerability profile for obicetrapib in an aggregate of over 800 patients with dyslipidemia in our clinical trials to date. Furthermore, we believe that obicetrapib’s oral delivery, demonstrated activity at low doses, chemical properties and tolerability make it well-suited for combination approaches. We are developing a fixed dose combination of obicetrapib 10 mg and ezetimibe 10 mg, which has been observed to demonstrate even greater LDL-C reduction in our Phase 2b ROSE2 clinical trial.

Current wording

Obicetrapib is a next-generation, oral, low-dose, highly selective CETP inhibitor that we are developing to potentially overcome the limitations of current LDL-C lowering treatments. In addition to LDL-C, obicetrapib has shown significant reductions in lipoprotein (a) (“Lp(a)”) and small LDL particles, all with safety comparable to placebo. We believe that obicetrapib has the potential to be a once-daily oral CETP inhibitor for lowering LDL-C, if approved. In each of our Phase 3 clinical trials, BROADWAY and BROOKLYN, evaluating obicetrapib as an adjunct to high-intensity statin therapy, obicetrapib met its primary and secondary endpoints, with statistically significant reductions in LDL-C observed. In our Phase 3 TANDEM clinical trial, evaluating obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe as an adjunct to high-intensity statin therapy, obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe met its primary and secondary endpoints, with statistically significant reductions in LDL-C observed. In five of our Phase 2 clinical trials, TULIP, ROSE, OCEAN, ROSE2 and our Japan Phase 2b clinical trial, evaluating obicetrapib as a monotherapy or a combination therapy with ezetimibe 10 mg, we observed statistically significant LDL-C lowering with side effects similar in frequency and severity to placebo including muscle-related side effects and drug-related treatment emergent serious adverse events. We have observed obicetrapib to be well tolerated in an aggregate of over 3,500 patients with low or moderately elevated LDL-C levels (“dyslipidemia”) in our clinical trials to date. Furthermore, we believe that obicetrapib’s oral delivery, demonstrated activity at low doses, chemical properties and tolerability make it well-suited for combination approaches.

Previous wording

Lowering of LDL-C, has been associated with major adverse cardiovascular events ("MACE") benefit in trials of LDL-C lowering drugs, including the REVEAL trial with the CETP inhibitor, anacetrapib. We are performing a cardiovascular outcomes trial (“CVOT”) to reconfirm this relationship.

Current wording

Lowering of LDL-C, has been associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (“MACE”) benefit in trials of LDL-C lowering drugs, including the REVEAL trial with the CETP inhibitor, anacetrapib. In our Phase 3 BROADWAY clinical trial we observed a 21% reduction in the exploratory MACE endpoint (coronary heart disease death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke and coronary revascularization) and we are performing a Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial (“CVOT”), PREVAIL, to reconfirm this relationship.

Previous wording

Our goal is to develop and commercialize an LDL-C lowering monotherapy and a fixed-dose combination therapy, which offers the advantage of a single, low dose, once-daily oral pill, and fulfills the significant unmet need for an effective and convenient LDL-C lowering therapy. If we obtain marketing approval, we intend to commercialize obicetrapib for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”) and/or heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (“HeFH”) and elevated levels of LDL-C despite being treated with currently available optimal lipid lowering therapy.

Previous wording

To date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products. Our revenue has been solely derived from our license agreement with Menarini. Pursuant to the Menarini License, we received a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront amount of $120.9 million (€115.0 million) from Menarini on July 7, 2022, of which $98.6 million (€93.5 million) was recognized as revenue upon the execution of the Menarini License on June 23, 2022 and $4.1 million (€4.0 million) was subsequently recognized as revenue in 2022. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $1.8 million and $5.5 million of revenue was recognized, respectively, related to the recognition of additional amounts of the deferred portion of the upfront payment received from Menarini. Additionally, in partial contribution to our costs of development of the licensed products, Menarini may pay us €27.5 million, payable in two equal annual installments. Due to the scientific uncertainties around the commercialization of the licensed products based on the success of clinical trials, out of our control, the fixed €27.5 million is considered constrained at contract execution and is not initially recognized within the transaction price until it becomes highly probable of no significant revenue reversal. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the probability of significant reversals for any amounts that become likely to be realized prior to recognizing the fixed consideration associated with these payments within the transaction price.

Current wording

Additionally, in partial contribution to our costs of development of the licensed products, Menarini may pay us €27.5 million, payable in two equal annual installments and attributed entirely to the R&D performance obligation. Due to the scientific uncertainties around the commercialization of the licensed products based on the success of clinical trials, which is out of our control, the fixed €27.5 million was considered constrained at contract execution and was not initially recognized within the transaction price until it becomes highly probable of no significant revenue reversal. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the probability of significant reversals for any amounts that become likely to be realized prior to recognizing the constrained amounts associated with these payments within the transaction price. The first of the two annual installments has been received and recognized as either revenue or deferred revenue based on the same methodology as the portion of the upfront payment which was allocated to the R&D performance obligation. The second of the two installments remains constrained as of March 31, 2025 for the reasons discussed above.

Previous wording

Under the Menarini License, we are also entitled to receive fixed reimbursement payments for our continued development costs, certain cost sharing payments, sales-based royalties, as well as payments based upon the achievement of defined development, regulatory and commercial milestones. These milestones are contingent payments and represent variable considerations that are not initially recognized within the transaction price. Our ability to receive and generate revenue from these payments is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to successfully complete the development of and obtain regulatory approval for obicetrapib within the Menarini Territory. The uncertainty of achieving these milestones significantly impacts our ability to generate revenue. At the end of each reporting period, we assess the probability of significant reversals for any amounts that become likely to be realized prior to recognizing the variable consideration associated with these payments within the transaction price.

Current wording

Under the Menarini License, we are also entitled to receive certain cost sharing payments, sales-based royalties and payments based upon the achievement of defined development, regulatory and commercial milestones linked to the enhanced value of the license performance obligation. These milestones are contingent payments and represent variable considerations that are not initially recognized within the transaction price, due to the scientific uncertainties around the commercialization of the licensed products based on the success of clinical trials. Our ability to receive and generate revenue from these payments is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to successfully complete the development of and obtain regulatory approval for obicetrapib within the Menarini Territory.

As of September 30, 2024, we have received a total of €30 million in milestone payments from Menarini, €25 million of which was received in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, we have received a total of €30 million and €13.8 million in milestone payments and R&D cost reimbursements, respectively, from Menarini, including €13.8 million which was received in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Previous wording

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 1,317,069 Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share generating gross proceeds of $13.4 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had another 2,700,152 outstanding Warrants to purchase 2,700,152 Ordinary Shares, exercisable at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which expire on November 23, 2027, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. Based on the exercise price of the Warrants, we may receive up to $31.1 million assuming the exercise of all Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2024. The exercise of the Warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Ordinary Shares and the spread between the exercise price of the Warrant and the price of an Ordinary Share at the time of exercise. For example, to the extent that the trading price of the Ordinary Shares exceeds $11.50 per share, it is more likely that holders of our Warrants will exercise their Warrants. If the trading price of the Ordinary Shares is less than $11.50 per share, it is unlikely that such holders will exercise their Warrants. The exercise price of the Warrants has at times exceeded the market price of the Ordinary Shares. To the extent that the price of our Ordinary Shares is below $11.50, we believe that the Warrant holders will be unlikely to cash exercise their warrants, resulting in little to no cash proceeds to us. There can be no assurance that our Warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration and, as such, certain unexercised Warrants may expire worthless. As such, it is possible that we may never generate any additional cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants. We have not included, and do not intend to include, any potential cash proceeds from the exercise of our Warrants in our short-term or long-term liquidity projections. We will continue to evaluate the probability that the Warrants are exercised over the life of our Warrants and the merit of including potential cash proceeds from the exercise thereof in our liquidity projections.

Current wording

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, 15,942 Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share generating gross proceeds of $0.2 million.

We have entered into a variety of agreements and financial commitments in the normal course of business with CROs, CMOs, and other third parties for preclinical and clinical development and manufacturing services. The terms generally provide us with the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs, prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Payments due upon cancellation generally consist only of payments for services provided or expenses incurred, including non-cancelable obligations of our service providers, up to the date of cancellation. However, some of our service providers also charge cancellation fees upon cancellation. The amount and timing of such payments are not known, but at September 30, 2024 they are estimated to be a maximum of $14.0 million due within one year and $2.7 million due in more than a year. As at September 30, 2024, we had cash of $422.7 million, which is sufficient to fund these obligations.

To date, we have not generated any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products. Our revenue has been solely derived from our license agreement with Menarini. Two performance obligations for the Menarini license were identified at contract inception, comprising a license to use the Company's intellectual property (the “license performance obligation”) and a promise to continue the development activities for the licensed compound (the “R&D performance obligation”). Pursuant to the Menarini License, we received a non-refundable, non-creditable upfront amount of $120.9 million (€115.0 million) from Menarini on July 7, 2022, of which $98.6 million (€93.5 million) was attributed to the license performance obligation and recognized as revenue upon the execution of the Menarini License on June 23, 2022.
