Good day, women and gents, and welcome to the Exelixis third quarter 2022 monetary outcomes convention name. My title is Chuck, and I will be your operator for at the moment. As a reminder, this name is being recorded for replay functions. I might now like to show the decision over to your host for at the moment, Ms.

Susan Hubbard, govt vp of public affairs and investor relations. Please go forward, ma’am.

Susan HubbardGovt Vice President of Public Affairs and Investor Relations

Thanks, Chuck, and thanks all for becoming a member of us for the Exelixis third quarter 2022 monetary outcomes convention name. Becoming a member of me on at the moment’s name are Mike Morrissey, our president and CEO; Chris Senner, our chief monetary officer; P.J. Haley, our govt vp of business; Vicki Goodman, our chief medical officer; and Peter Lamb, our chief scientific officer, who collectively will evaluation our progress for the third quarter 2022 ended June 30, 2022, and subsequent occasions, together with the 2 enterprise growth bulletins made at the moment. Through the name at the moment, we are going to confer with monetary measures not calculated in line with usually accepted accounting rules.

Please confer with at the moment’s press launch, which is posted on our web site for a proof of our causes for utilizing such non-GAAP measures, in addition to tables deriving these measures from our GAAP outcomes. Through the course of this presentation, we might be making forward-looking statements relating to future occasions and the long run efficiency of the corporate. This contains statements about attainable developments relating to discovery, product growth, regulatory, industrial, monetary and strategic issues. Precise occasions or outcomes might, after all, differ materially.

We refer you to the paperwork we file every now and then with the SEC, which below the heading Danger Components determine essential elements that would trigger precise outcomes to vary materially from these expressed by the corporate verbally and in writing at the moment, together with, with out limitations, dangers and uncertainties associated to product industrial success, market competitors, regulatory evaluation and approval processes; conducting scientific trials; compliance with relevant regulatory necessities; our dependence on collaboration companions; and the extent of prices related to the invention, product growth, enterprise growth and commercialization actions. And with that, I’ll flip the decision over to Mike.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

All proper. Thanks, Susan, and because of everybody for becoming a member of us on the decision at the moment. Exelixis had a robust third quarter 2022 throughout all elements of our enterprise. We noticed continued development of the cabozantinib franchise within the U.S.

whereas increasing our various portfolio of scientific and discovery packages with new collaborations to construct the Exelixis product portfolio of the long run. Key highlights from Q3 embody, first, we noticed a robust efficiency of the cabozantinib enterprise with vital development in demand and income within the U.S. CABOMETYX maintained its standing because the main TKI for RCC. Cabo franchise income grew 39% yr over yr in comparison with third quarter 2021, marking its eighth consecutive quarter of development.

Importantly, international cabozantinib franchise internet product income generated by Exelixis and its companions had been $497 million within the third quarter 2022. Second, we continued to advance the Exelixis growth pipeline with new potential cabo indications and our rising pipeline of scientific compounds and extra candidates in nonclinical growth. Vital scientific updates for XL092 at EORTC and XB002 at ENA spotlight current progress to put the inspiration from transferring these compounds into late-stage growth. Third, enterprise growth actions proceed to be a essential focus for Exelixis.

We’re happy to announce two new choice offers with Cybrexa and Sairopa at the moment, which spotlight our strategic efforts to entry scientific and/or near-clinical-stage belongings which have the potential to supply differentiated advantages to sufferers with most cancers. You may hear extra about these two offers from Peter shortly. The choice deal framework is good for us to make use of as we are able to generate scientific proof-of-concept information with a variety of experimental brokers in a financially disciplined method and solely pay for achievement if and when that information is offered. With that, please see our press launch issued an hour in the past for our third quarter monetary outcomes and an intensive record of key company milestones achieved within the quarter.

I will now flip the decision over to Chris.

Chris SennerChief Monetary Officer

Thanks, Mike. For the third quarter 2022, the corporate reported whole revenues of roughly $412 million, which included cabozantinib franchise internet product revenues of $366.5 million. CABOMETYX internet product revenues had been $361.4 million and included roughly $13 million in scientific trial gross sales. Gross to internet for the cabozantinib franchise within the third quarter 2022 was 26.1%, which is decrease than the gross to internet we skilled within the second quarter of 2022.

This lower in gross to internet deductions within the third quarter 2022 is primarily associated to decrease PHS, Medicare Half D and co-pay help. Our CABOMETYX commerce stock elevated barely when in comparison with the second quarter of 2022 to roughly 2.3 weeks available. Complete revenues additionally included roughly $45 million in collaboration revenues, which incorporates roughly $30 million of royalties earned from Ipsen and Takeda on their gross sales of cabozantinib. And eventually, scientific trial gross sales have traditionally been uneven between quarters, and we count on this to proceed in future quarters.

Our whole working bills for the third quarter 2022 had been roughly $329 million, in comparison with $336 million within the second quarter of 2022. SG&A expense was the first driver of the lower in whole working bills, which was primarily associated to decrease authorized and employee-related bills. Provision for revenue taxes for the third quarter of 2020 was roughly $19 million, in comparison with roughly $18 million for the second quarter of 2022. The corporate reported GAAP internet revenue of roughly $73 million or $0.23 per share on a completely diluted foundation for the third quarter of 2022.

The corporate additionally reported non-GAAP internet revenue of roughly $102 million or $0.31 per share on a completely diluted foundation. Non-GAAP internet revenue excludes the affect of roughly $29 million of stock-based compensation expense internet of the associated revenue tax impact. Money and investments for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was roughly $2.1 billion. This stage of money and investments supported by our ongoing money circulation from operations gives Exelixis with the pliability to put money into inner discovery actions and in addition permits us to pursue exterior enterprise growth alternatives to increase our pipeline.

And eventually, turning to our monetary steerage for the total yr 2022. Given the place we’re within the yr, we’re tightening our income steerage, and we’re growing our R&D and SG&A expense steerage. The rise in R&D expense steerage is primarily to mirror the 2 offers we introduced at the moment, and the rise in SG&A expense steerage is primarily associated to the rise in stock-based compensation. Please see Slide 12 of our Q3 earnings presentation for additional particulars.

With that, I will flip the decision over to P.J.

P.J. HaleyGovt Vice President of Industrial

Thanks, Chris. The third quarter of 2022 was a robust quarter for cabozantinib as we continued to construct on the numerous momentum of the franchise. The group continues to execute at a excessive stage, which has resulted in CABOMETYX persevering with to be the No. 1 prescribed TKI in RCC and second-line HCC.

Moreover, CABOMETYX whole prescriptions, or TRx, have now grown for eight consecutive quarters. Demand development is being pushed primarily by the longer length of remedy for sufferers on CABOMETYX together with nivolumab in first-line RCC. Prescription developments remained sturdy in Q3 2022. Yr-over-year TRx development in Q3 2022 was 23% relative to Q3 2021.

Given the scientific information from the CheckMate 9ER research, we anticipate these first-line sufferers to obtain remedy for roughly a yr and a half on common and driving considerably longer remedy length for CABOMETYX. Turning to the TKI market basket of CABOMETYX, INLYTA, SUTENT, VOTRIENT and Lenvima. CABOMETYX TRx market share has elevated each quarter since Q1 2021, and its share in Q3 2022 was 38%. As we’ve mentioned beforehand, first-line RCC market may be very aggressive, and we’re happy with the efficiency of CABOMETYX together with nivolumab on this setting.

Moreover, we’re nonetheless not seeing any vital aggressive affect on our share. Uptake within the first-line RCC setting is broad throughout scientific danger teams and follow settings, and prescriber expertise so far continues to be very optimistic. Moreover, in distinction to information from public sources, our inner information confirmed that CABOMETYX had the very best stage of recent affected person begins ever in Q3. Moreover, inside the quarter, we noticed explicit power in each demand and new affected person begins in September.

We view this as encouraging, and it aligns with the suggestions we acquired from clients a few vital stage of trip and journey this summer season popping out of COVID. We imagine all of this taken collectively positions CABOMETYX for continued development transferring ahead. Trying past the six present U.S. indications for cabozantinib, we proceed to plan for all times cycle enlargement alternatives as extra part 3 research learn out within the close to future.

We sit up for having the chance pending information and approval to deliver CABOMETYX to many extra sufferers in want of extra remedy choices. Our group stays extremely targeted and motivated to compete day-after-day to deliver the good thing about CABOMETYX to all eligible sufferers as we proceed to construct the franchise and serve sufferers. And with that, I will flip the decision over to Vicki.

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

Thanks, P.J. Good afternoon. Right this moment, I’ll present a short replace on the progress of our scientific stage pipeline, in addition to our East Coast enlargement within the larger Philadelphia area. I will start with an replace on our cabozantinib registrational trial.

In early July, we reported optimistic prime line outcomes, COSMIC-313, evaluating cabozantinib together with nivolumab and ipilimumab in intermediate and poor-risk renal cell carcinoma. These information had been introduced by Dr. Toni Choueiri in a presidential symposium at ESMO. Within the main evaluation of progression-free survival, cabozantinib together with nivolumab and ipilimumab considerably diminished the chance of illness development or loss of life in contrast with the mixture of nivolumab and ipilimumab with a hazard ratio of 0.73 and p-value of 0.01.

And total response price was 43% within the triplet arm and 36% within the doublet arm. A prespecified interim evaluation for the secondary finish level of total survival didn’t reveal a big profit for the cabozantinib arm in comparison with the management arm. And due to this fact, the trial will proceed to the subsequent evaluation of OS. The security profile noticed within the trial was reflective of the recognized security profiles for every single agent, in addition to the mixture regimens used within the research, and no new security indicators had been recognized.

Following dialogue with the FDA, we don’t intend to submit a supplemental new drug utility primarily based on the presently accessible information and plan to debate the potential regulatory submission with the FDA when the outcomes of the subsequent OS evaluation can be found. For CONTACT-01, the part 3 pivotal research sponsored by Roche, which is evaluating cabozantinib together with atezolizumab versus docetaxel in sufferers with metastatic non-small cell lung most cancers who’ve been beforehand handled with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and platinum-containing chemotherapy, the ultimate evaluation of the first finish level of total survival is on observe to happen earlier than the tip of this yr. For CONTACT-02, our part 3 research together with atezolizumab in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate most cancers, we’re projecting that enrollment might be accomplished within the first half of subsequent yr. I might additionally wish to share a short replace on CONTACT-03, the worldwide part 3 pivotal trial evaluating cabozantinib together with atezolizumab versus cabozantinib alone in sufferers with beforehand handled superior renal cell carcinoma.

For steerage from Roche, the research sponsor, prime line information is now anticipated within the first half of 2023. Now turning to progress on our pipeline molecules. The primary scientific information for XL092 from the STELLAR-001 dose escalation cohorts had been introduced at a poster at ESMO. These information confirmed early proof of scientific exercise, significantly in closely pretreated sufferers with RCC, together with many who had beforehand acquired cabozantinib and demonstrated a manageable security profile with no surprising toxicities, offering assist for the beneficial dose of 100 milligrams.

In June, we initiated the primary part 3 research of XL092 in non-MSI-high colorectal most cancers, and we count on to provoke a further part 3 trial this yr. XL092 can also be being explored together with a number of checkpoint inhibitors and IO combos. In October, we introduced that we had expanded our partnership with BMS to review the mixture of XL092 with the fixed-dose mixture of the IO doublet nivolumab and relatlimab. We sit up for evaluating this novel mixture throughout a number of strong tumors.

We additionally proceed to judge extra potential mixture alternatives with novel brokers. XB002, our first antibody drug conjugate, which targets tissue issue with out interfering with the coagulation pathway in preclinical fashions, continues in dose escalation. In October 2022, we introduced promising preliminary dose escalation outcomes from JEWEL-101, the continued part 1 trial evaluating XB002 in sufferers with superior strong tumors in the course of the antibody-drug conjugates poster session on the thirty fourth ENA Symposium. The information demonstrated that XB002 was effectively tolerated at a number of dose ranges.

Pharmacokinetic analyses confirmed that XB002 whole antibody and intact ADC PK had been comparable, suggesting XB002 was secure after infusion. Moreover, on the two-milligram per kilogram dose, XB002 demonstrated roughly twofold greater publicity with 0.10 the free payload relative to ranges seen with the identical dose of tisotumab vedotin. As of the info cutoff, no bleeding occasions or corneal toxicities had been noticed at doses of as much as two milligrams per kilogram. We count on to finish dose escalation and transfer into the multi-cohort dose enlargement part later this yr.

Dose escalation is ongoing for the mixture of XB002 with nivolumab, and we count on to provoke dose escalation together with bevacizumab earlier than the tip of the yr. A part 1 research of XL102, our oral CDK7 inhibitor, is predicted to maneuver into each single agent and mixture enlargement cohorts after completion of ongoing dose escalation and dedication of a part 2 dose. Preliminary information from dose escalation have been accepted for publication as a poster on the upcoming San Antonio Breast Most cancers Symposium in December. Lastly, we’re making progress with hiring to our web site in King of Prussia exterior of Philadelphia for roles each inside and out of doors of growth, in addition to rising our present presence at headquarters in Alameda.

Inside the growth group, key hires embody three executive-level leaders who’re primarily based at King of Prussia, and we have seen an uptick in East Coast-based candidate consciousness and enthusiasm for the brand new web site. We proceed to hunt, to draw and retain the most effective expertise throughout each coasts to fulfill the wants of our rising pipeline. We additionally proceed to progress plans for a long-term build-to-suit area of over 200,000 sq. toes blended workplace and lab area near our intermediate time period places of work in King of Prussia. I am happy by the progress we’re making to create a bicoastal presence throughout two biotechnology hubs working as one group targeted on the singular mission of creating medicines to enhance the lives of sufferers with most cancers.

With that, I will flip it over to Peter.

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

Thanks, Vicki. As we have mentioned on earlier calls, we have been actively engaged in a means of assessing late preclinical and early scientific belongings with the purpose of figuring out a number of alternatives to put money into. Since failure charges for oncology medicine stay excessive, our most well-liked technique is to make a number of smaller choice investments earlier than scientific proof of idea somewhat than making extra substantial investments primarily based on insufficient or inconclusive scientific information. The offers that we introduced earlier at the moment with Cybrexa and Sairopa symbolize the preliminary end result of this technique.

Beginning with Cybrexa. Creating mechanisms for preferentially delivering cytotoxic compounds to tumors has been a long-standing objective with antibody-drug conjugates representing essentially the most validated and profitable mechanism for doing this. The ADC strategy depends upon having an antibody to a cell floor protein that’s completely or preferentially expressed on tumor cells after which covalently conjugating a cytotoxic payload to that antibody. When the antibody-drug conjugate binds to the tumor cell expressing the goal protein, it’s then internalized and the payload is launched, leading to tumor cell killing.

Since regular tissues have low or no expression of the chosen goal, they don’t take up the payload, minimizing unintended effects. The success of this strategy relies upon upon acceptable goal choice. And with any goal, there’s variable ranges of expression, each inside and between tumor varieties, resulting in some heterogeneity of scientific response. As well as, the steadiness of the connected payload varies between ADCs with liberation of free payload contributing to our opposed occasions.

Nonetheless, growth of ADCs has undergone a renaissance with a number of approvals over the previous few years, and Exelixis has invested considerably within the space, each internally and by way of a number of collaborations, to develop our personal pipeline of differentiated ADCs. The Cybrexa settlement introduced at the moment round CBX-12 represents an additional extension of this normal strategy and depends upon a novel tumor-targeting mechanism. Cybrexa are creating a novel peptide exatecan conjugate, CBX-12, that selectively inserts into tumor cell membranes versus regular cell membranes resulting from decrease pH circumstances prevalent within the tumor microenvironment. It’s effectively established that many tumors have an altered metabolism that ends in them excreting lactic acid into the tumor microenvironment, thereby lowering the native pH.

The peptide element of CBX-12 is designed to be delicate to pH, adopting a disordered construction below regular physiological pH, however assuming an ordered alpha-helical construction at decrease pH, which permits it to insert into the tumor cell membrane and convey any connected payload with it. In CBX-12, the payload is the potent topoisomerase inhibitor, exatecan, which will get launched contained in the tumor cell by way of cleavage of a disulfide bond that connects to the peptide. In preclinical fashions, Cybrexa have proven that following administration of CBX-12, each intact CBX-12 and free exatecan, accumulates in tumors, whereas exatecan ranges in bone marrow cells stay very low. Notably, it is a tumor selective payload supply mechanism that doesn’t depend upon exploration of tumor antigens in contrast to the usual ADC strategy.

So it might be broadly relevant, if profitable. CBX-12 is presently in part 1 dose escalation trials which are exploring a variety of dosing schedules. Knowledge from this trial was lately introduced within the plenary session on the ENA triple assembly in Barcelona. Cybrexa explored three IV dosing schedules: 5 consecutive days each three weeks, three consecutive days each three weeks and as soon as weekly.

Knowledge from 33 sufferers was introduced. Essentially the most frequent treatment-related opposed occasions had been GI-related, cytopenias and LFT elevations. That is according to the recognized profile of exatecan, finest response within the 18 evaluable sufferers with a CR in ovarian, a PR in breast and 13 sufferers with secure illness, together with a second close to PR in breast. Preliminary tumor biopsy assessments present supply of CBX-12 and exatecan into the tumor.

Dose escalation continues within the as soon as weekly cohort, and cohort enlargement is ongoing at 45 mg per meter squared within the three consecutive days each three weeks cohort. Now we have an choice to license CBX-12 after reviewing the totality of the info from the completion of the continued once-weekly dose escalation trial, 4 part 1b monotherapy enlargement cohorts of about 40 sufferers in every main strong tumor kind on the beneficial part 2 dose and completion of a dose escalation mixture cohort with pembrolizumab. All growth will happen below a joint steering committee.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

OK. Shifting on to the Sairopa settlement. This represents an enlargement of our strategy to addressing the myeloid macrophage element of the tumor microenvironment. Tumor-associated macrophages, together with different myeloid cells, symbolize a big and infrequently main element of the strong tumor microenvironment and is distinguished in tumors similar to colorectal most cancers, ovarian most cancers, hepatocellular most cancers, renal and breast carcinomas, for instance.

It’s effectively established that these cells contribute to an immunosuppressive surroundings in these tumors. Now we have a variety of ongoing packages which are geared toward addressing this side of tumor biology, together with XB014, our PD-L1 CD47 bispecific presently in early preclinical growth and our collaboration with BioInvent geared toward figuring out antibodies in opposition to novel myeloid targets expressed preferentially within the tumor microenvironment. Our settlement with Sairopa gives us with one other potential means of addressing this probably impactful mechanism of motion. Sairopa is creating a monoclonal antibody, ADU-1805, concentrating on SIRPalpha, one of many ligands for CD47.

This has been a pathway of curiosity to us and others for a variety of years, and there’s now a level of scientific validation for blocking the pathway, together with an understanding of a number of the points related to varied therapeutic approaches. The CD47 SIRPalpha axis modulates macrophage phagocytosis, an antibody-dependent mobile phagocytosis. Expression of CD47 on tumor cells inhibits phagocytosis of tumor cells and thereby limits tumor antigen presentation by way of macrophages, contributing to immune suppression. Blockade of CD47 itself, which has been the favourite strategy traditionally, results in anemia and thrombocytopenia resulting from CD47 expression on purple blood cells and platelets.

This additionally ends in a big PK sink impact. In distinction, SIRPalpha expression is restricted primarily to myeloid cells, and antibodies concentrating on SIRPalpha don’t undergo the identical PK sink impact or trigger cytopenias. This has been validated clinically in part 1 with an anti-SIRPalpha monoclonal antibody being developed by Boehringer Ingelheim. This antibody has restricted PK sink, doesn’t trigger thrombocytopenia or anemia and has proven preliminary proof of scientific exercise, together with a PR in HCC as a single agent and three PRs in combos with a checkpoint inhibitor.

ADU-1805 has equally proven restricted PK sink and no anemia, thrombocytopenia in preclinical security research. It is very important observe that there are 10 SIRPalpha alleles in people with their frequencies various by inhabitants, and antibodies differ of their capability to bind the totally different alleles. ADU-1805 binds to all alleles, that means that sufferers may be handled with out being genotypes in distinction to the BI antibody, which binds tightly to solely the V1 allele, that means that sufferers have to be genotyped to evaluate which alleles they will carry previous to remedy. Within the case of the BI antibody, sufferers have to be homozygous for the V1 allele to enroll of their presently recruiting scientific trials.

ADU-1805 has additionally been optimized to preferentially bind to SIRPalpha versus different SIRP members of the family, which can improve its capability to stimulate immune cells. That is one other level of differentiation from CD47-targeted therapies, which block all interactions with all SIRP members of the family. Lastly, ADU-1805 is an IgG2 antibody, which has been proven to permit maximal phagocytosis in, in vitro assays. In abstract, the antibody has been constructed in a means that maximizes the potential profit for blocking SIRPalpha CD47 checkpoint whereas minimizing potential toxicities and permitting for remedy of the broadest inhabitants of acceptable sufferers.

We imagine this represents a differentiated and probably best-in-class strategy to this pathway. Sairopa are on observe to file an IND for this asset in Q1 2023. Now we have an choice to license ADU-1805 after completion of a single-agent dose escalation cohort, a single-agent enlargement cohort, completion of a dose escalation mixture cohort with pembrolizumab and a 60-patient Simon two-stage pembrolizumab mixture enlargement cohort in main strong tumor varieties. All growth will happen below a joint steering committee.

We’re glad to have concluded these two agreements and are persevering with to evaluate a broad number of late preclinical and early scientific belongings with the purpose of constructing extra investments sooner or later to supply additional choice for increasing our scientific pipeline. In order you heard on the decision at the moment, the EXEL group continued to execute throughout all elements of our enterprise within the third quarter with vital progress throughout our enterprise growth, scientific growth and industrial actions. As we enter This autumn of 2022, we’re excited in regards to the potential for the a number of development drivers forward of us, together with our cabo growth actions and increasing pipeline of various scientific alternatives that we hope will allow Exelixis to assist much more most cancers sufferers. I will shut by thanking the Exelixis group for his or her particular person and collective efforts to assist our vary of discovery, growth and industrial actions.

I wish to give our broad group targeted on enterprise growth actions an enormous shout-out for his or her nice work and collaborative efforts over the previous few years and definitely the previous few months to get the Cybrexa and Sairopa offers over the objective line. Enterprise growth is a group sport right here at Exelixis, and I’m pleased with the carefully aligned group from BD, R&D, authorized, finance, industrial, CMC and public affairs coming collectively to maneuver these essential initiatives ahead. Individually and collectively, our group embodies the imaginative and prescient, urgency and experience to maneuver EXEL towards turning into a multiproduct enterprise and increase our attain to serve most cancers sufferers throughout the globe. We sit up for updating you on our progress sooner or later.

Thanks to your continued assist and curiosity in Exelixis. And we’re now glad to open the decision for questions.

Questions & Solutions:

Operator

Thanks. We’ll now start the question-and-answer session. [Operator instructions] And the primary query will come from Asthika Goonewardene with Truist Securities. Please go forward.

Asthika GoonewardeneTruist Securities — Analyst

Hello, guys. Thanks for taking my questions, and congratulations on the great quarter. Simply a few questions, easy ones right here. First, to P.J., I used to be simply questioning for those who might quantify the gross to internet affect for the quarter and perhaps how a lot the slight improve in stock contributed to gross sales.

For Vicki, I used to be questioning for those who might perhaps give us given the run price of occasions, once we might count on the subsequent take a look at OS to happen for COSMIC-313? After which I simply need supply my congrats to the biz dev group for the offers that we introduced at the moment. And specifically, the deal CBX-12 appears to be like fairly fascinating in the course of the current information. Simply questioning when you may count on the subsequent replace on the dose escalation. And when do you count on the dose escalation to finish? Thanks.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

OK. Thanks, Asthika. A number of questions there. So let’s begin with Chris on the stock and gross to internet, after which we’ll go to Vicki after which Peter.

Chris SennerChief Monetary Officer

Thanks, Mike. So Asthika, from a gross to internet perspective, as I discussed on the decision, we got here in round 26.1% for Q3. If you happen to return to Q2, we’re round 28.2% total for the cabozantinib franchise. It is come down as you — as we have come by the yr, it was greater in Q1 and are available down in Q2 and are available down in Q3.

And so we — as I discussed on the ready remarks, too, that was — that decline was actually pushed by decrease PHS, Medicare Half D after which additionally co-pay help. As we talked in regards to the yr, beforehand, I mentioned, we predict we’ll come within the vary — or are available round 29%. I believe we’re most likely now considering we’ll come within the vary of 28% to 29% for the yr. From a listing perspective, this quarter, we got here in round 2.3 weeks available.

Final quarter, we’re round 2.1 weeks available. So it is a few day, and I am not going to quantify it from a gross sales perspective. However that is — it is not a big improve by any means.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

OK. Good. Thanks. Vicki?

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

Yeah. So with respect to the general survival from COSMIC-313 and simply form of a fast reminder on the research design right here. So that is the triplet mixture of nivolumab and ipilimumab with cabozantinib versus a management arm of nivolumab and ipilimumab, which has turn into a standard-of-care on the premise of demonstrating an total survival profit relative to sunitinib in intermediate and poor-risk sufferers. And as chances are you’ll recall, from the pivotal trial of nivo and ipi CheckMate 214, the up to date survival information demonstrated a survival — median survival on the order of about 4 years.

So not surprising that right now with the first PFS evaluation, the general survival would nonetheless be immature. The following evaluation might be event-driven. And so we’ll be offering up to date steerage as we get a greater sense of when these occasions may are available for OS. There was a query in there, I imagine, on dose escalation.

Was it XB002, I am unsure for the asset immediately.

Asthika GoonewardeneTruist Securities — Analyst

Yeah.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

Yeah, Vicki, that was a query about Cybrexa. Pete, do you wish to take one?

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

Oh, I am sorry. OK. Thanks.

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

Yeah. Thanks to your feedback on CBX-12. We definitely view it as a fairly fascinating and totally different mechanism. I imply, clearly, they simply introduced the preliminary information on the plenary session within the triple assembly, so it is most likely bit quickly to say when the subsequent information launch might be.

And clearly, dose escalation is ongoing. So it is type of — it is onerous to foretell when that can prime out and once we’ll be in a spot to have a beneficial part 2 dose. So keep tuned. We’re definitely desirous to see the subsequent set of knowledge as effectively.

Asthika GoonewardeneTruist Securities — Analyst

Nice. Thanks, guys.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

You wager, Asthika.

The following query will come from Michael Schmidt with Guggenheim. Please go forward.

Michael SchmidtGuggenheim Companions — Analyst

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. I had a few pipeline questions, one additionally on the XB002 information from the triple assembly. So I imply, the ADC regarded fairly secure.

Do you’ve got any plans to go greater than the 2 mg/kg dose cohort simply in context of the security profile? And the way do you consider the potential of this antibody in different cancers exterior cervical, for instance, maybe the place TF could also be expressed? After which I had a follow-up query.

Mike MorrisseyPresident and Chief Govt Officer

Hey, Vicki, do you wish to take that one?

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

Yeah, certain. So dose escalation with XB002 continues at this level. Clearly, we’ll proceed to watch carefully for dose-limiting toxicities earlier than we set up a beneficial part 2 dose. So I might say keep tuned there so far as the place we’ll land on the dose.

We do have broad plans to take a look at this throughout a variety of totally different strong tumors, together with exterior of cervical most cancers, each as a monotherapy and probably together with each nivolumab and with bevacizumab. And among the many dose enlargement cohort within the present research embody tumors similar to non-small cell lung most cancers, head and neck and breast most cancers, amongst others. So once more, we’ll set up a dose to maneuver rapidly into enlargement cohorts, see the place we reveal exercise after which plan to maneuver rapidly into registrational trials. We do imagine that this asset, once more, has some potential benefits over the competitors, provided that the intact ADC is secure.

We’re seeing low ranges of free payload to date, that appears to be enjoying out when it comes to a probably differentiated security profile and should affect what we see with efficacy, in addition to what appears to be diminished bleeding danger with no bleeding occasions having been seen on the time of the info cut-off. So we’re enthusiastic about this asset and keen to maneuver it into enlargement and in the end, registrational trials.

Michael SchmidtGuggenheim Companions — Analyst

OK. Nice. Thanks. After which a query on XL102, our CDK7 inhibitor.

Simply questioning for those who might assist set expectations for the scope of this replace right here at San Antonio. And did the dose escalation maybe patrons towards recruiting breast most cancers sufferers? How ought to we take into consideration probably attaining single exercise with this goal? If there’s an space the place you may contemplate implementing biomarker choice? Or is that this one thing that would have a broader potential with out choice in breast most cancers? Thanks a lot.

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

Yeah. So on XL102, once more, it is going to be introduced on the San Antonio Breast Most cancers Symposium in a few month. So far as the main points on the content material, I might say keep tuned each for the summary and the presentation, however it is going to be information from dose escalation cohorts.

Michael SchmidtGuggenheim Companions — Analyst

Thanks.

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the query, and let me add my congratulations on a pleasant quarter. I am questioning for those who might discuss somewhat bit extra about your optimism about CONTACT-01, as a result of it simply appears to me, you point out it in each name, however I’m wondering what your ideas — what ideas you can share with us on the chance of success right here, as a result of even a small piece of the second line on small cell markets a fairly large industrial alternative, and that would create a fascinating inflection for cabo I might suppose. So I simply marvel for those who might increase on it with out giving too lots of the secrets and techniques away.

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

Positive. Blissful to. Yeah. So CONTACT-01, once more, that is in a submit checkpoint inhibitor, submit platinum chemotherapy setting in non-small cell lung most cancers, sufferers with out an actionable mutation.

It is an space of giant unmet want, proper? There is no effectively outlined commonplace of care. Docetaxel is a typical remedy and as we all know from even the pre-check inhibitor days response price, there’s on the order of 10% and survival — median total survival expectation is lower than a yr. So it is a vital space of unmet want. And right here we’re evaluating whether or not cabozantinib, which might induce a extra immune permissive surroundings may assist overcome a number of the resistance to checkpoint inhibition on this case with atezolizumab and whether or not that mixture can enhance total survival, once more in a setting the place the survival expectation is sort of low.

So we do sit up for these outcomes, which as I mentioned might be — we’ll have in hand earlier than the tip of the yr.

Mike KingEF Hutton — Analyst

Are you accountable for the info launch or is {that a} Roche determination?

Vicki GoodmanChief Medical Officer

It’s a Roche-sponsored research, so we’re working very carefully with Roche on how and when these information might be launched.

Do KimPiper Sandler — Analyst

Nice. Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the quarter. Simply attempting to know the up to date steerage, you raised the decrease finish of the vary, nevertheless it nonetheless suggests a decline in internet product revenues quarter over quarter. Simply questioning if it is due to the choppiness of scientific trial cells that you simply see? Do you exclude that potential gross sales to scientific trials? Or is there one thing else you are seeing in demand or gross to internet that retains steerage on the decrease stage?

Chris SennerChief Monetary Officer

Yeah, Do. That is Chris. So the steerage — the tightened steerage vary is $1.375 billion to $1.4 billion. If you happen to take a look at that vary versus the place we’re yr so far, the highest finish of that or the center to the highest finish of that vary offers you development for the subsequent quarter.

And we proceed to see sturdy development popping out of Q3, as P.J. talked about, in September, we ended September in a really sturdy style from a requirement and new sufferers perspective. And there is additionally a number of variables round gross to internet that we’ve to bear in mind. However total, we — the highest finish and the center to the highest finish of that vary expects development.

Do KimPiper Sandler — Analyst

OK. Nice. And relating to your newly introduced offers. It appears to be like just like the platform know-how drove the Cybrexa deal and the goal SIRPa drove the Sairopa deal.

Is that how you consider it? And do you prioritize potential offers by a sure novel drug know-how or clinically validated targets?

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

Yeah. Thanks for the query. I believe I considerably agree together with your characterization. I believe we might view the Cybrexa CBX-12 as actually a first-in-class kind of asset.

And as commented within the script, it is actually an extension or enlargement of type of total ADC strategy. However importantly, in a form of tumor goal agnostic means, you needn’t categorical a selected tumor goal on this case, which implies they might be broadly relevant as a platform. Sairopa is admittedly extra of a best-in-class alternative. Clearly, there’s been a good quantity of exercise round the entire CD47/SIRPa macrophage checkpoint space, rather more on the CD47 aspect.

This explicit asset appears to be like actually engaging to us simply because we thought it was very effectively thought out when it comes to maximizing the potential for blocking this checkpoint from a tax viewpoint, from a possible efficacy viewpoint, and from an addressable affected person inhabitants viewpoint. So basically, we glance broadly at a number of issues, small molecules and biologics. I would not say we purchase us extra towards goal versus platform, and also you most likely see us do a combination of issues going ahead.

You talked about that you’ve got seen the very best ranges of recent affected person begins versus what is offered in public sources. May you please touch upon that? And would these be new affected person begins in frontline RCC primarily? And what do we all know in regards to the time on remedy now in frontline renal cell versus what we have seen within the trial? Thanks very a lot.

As you identified, I might perhaps simply spotlight three issues within the quarter when it comes to its power. Now we have the very best ever internet product income, the very best ever demand. And as you talked about, the very best ever new affected person begins. What we’re seeing there primarily is these new affected person begins are pushed by renal and particularly primarily first-line mixture use with nivolumab, and we have seen that in a number of market share information that we’ve.

Close to that that does give us — sure, it’s encouraging, as I discussed additionally with the truth that we had good momentum in September type of popping out of the quarter. Close to form of the length of remedy, as I discussed within the ready remarks, as our combine has shifted over the past yr and a half, seven quarters with the launch of 9ER in first-line mixture utilization. We’re seeing that blend shift in our length improve over time. What we noticed within the 9ER trial is sufferers — PFS of the ballpark of a yr and a half.

Nice. Thanks for taking my questions. Congratulations on all fronts. Robust industrial cabo gross sales, scientific updates after which BD, after all.

Peter, I hope you feel OK. I hope you’re feeling higher quickly. I received a query in regards to the CBX-12. So I keep in mind from the triple assembly, the info was principally generated from both the three consecutive day and 5 consecutive day schedule.

And as you consider transferring to the weekly schedule, simply curious in regards to the PK profile for that dosing schedule? For the pH tumor microenvironment is fairly fascinating. I’m curious if there’s a technique to both by a biomarker or probably F-18 FDG to essentially choose for sufferers who may finest profit from this sort of remedy.

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

Yeah. Thanks, Andy, to your questions. Yeah, so there was information introduced on the 5 consecutive days each three weeks, after which three consecutive days each three weeks. And I believe the primary dose, which is 20 mg/L squared on the as soon as weekly dose.

I believe what was truly encouraging there’s for those who regarded on the information, you’d’ve seen that the partial response in breast was truly on the as soon as weekly dose schedule. So we had been definitely inspired by that. The general PK for this molecule is fairly fascinating. What we perceive from the preclinical information is, you give a dose, you begin seeing accumulation of CBX-12 within the — type of within the tumor or tumor microenvironment, after which a launch primarily of exatecan that builds up over time.

How that is going to play out clinically? In fact, continues to be being analyzed. They did current somewhat bit of knowledge that was encouraging, definitely exhibiting fairly cheap free exatecan ranges in some tumor biopsies. Was there one other query? I believe there was, proper?

Andy HsiehWilliam Blair & Firm — Analyst

Yeah.

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

The biomarker one.

Andy HsiehWilliam Blair & Firm — Analyst

Yeah, precisely, the biomarker.

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

Yeah, so usually talking, proper, the strategy does depend on the tumors being metabolically lively, and sometimes on this case being glucose using, though not fully essentially, so in precept FDG PET might be used. Nonetheless, I might recommend that that is such a broad phenomenon that it is most likely not essential to pre-select sufferers.

Andy HsiehWilliam Blair & Firm — Analyst

Received it. OK. Yeah, I even have a fast query about perhaps the way you’re considering when it comes to XL092, the flexibility to salvage cabo pretreated sufferers in RCC. I assume you have most likely — we most likely noticed that in HCC the place fluorinated sorafenib was capable of salvage sorafenib sufferers.

I do not know when you have any feedback on that phenomenon as effectively?

Peter LambChief Scientific Officer

Yeah. It is definitely fascinating. We definitely see exercise with 092 submit cabozantinib in that setting. And the precise causes for that, I believe mechanistically aren’t totally clear.

Generally — and it is a phenomenon as you rightly level out that is been seen with a variety of not simply TKIs, however medicine. If you happen to type of have a type of interval day without work, you will get reresponses for those who redose. So not fully totally understood, however I believe definitely encouraging from a scientific exercise viewpoint.

Andy HsiehWilliam Blair & Firm — Analyst

Nice. And perhaps maybe final query for P.J. XB002 very encouraging sign, no neuropathy or bleeding occasions, very, very — after a fantastic begin. Simply perhaps from a doctor suggestions standpoint do they like to type of push a dose and with very arms on ocular toxicity administration protocol or maybe, little bit arms off by offering some simply intrinsically safer profile?

Yeah, Andy, thanks for the query. I believe at this level, clearly with our product so early in growth, I will simply communicate usually about type of what we see throughout the board in numerous tumor varieties and market. I believe actually what it will come right down to is the particular particulars of the toxicity profiles of the aggressive surroundings, so to talk, or the usual of care in that exact setting. So I believe it is actually onerous to generalize.

However clearly usually talking in oncology the place there are a lot of choices and the place the unmet medical want is excessive physicians are prepared to tolerate larger toxicity profiles.

Yeah. Hey, it is Mike. On the Zyprexa aspect, I do not suppose it is effectively documented from a tumor to tumor stage. The relative pH distinction between particular person tumors or tumor varieties and regular cells, I believe that is most likely slicing it a bit skinny when it comes to what’s truly recognized.

So the final phenomena, I believe has been fairly effectively validated as Peter talked about from the viewpoint of the lactate that is concerned. However I believe on a case to case foundation, our view is that the general strategy with CBX-12 will get us right into a recreation, if you’ll, that permits us to focus on any tumor probably with out having to have an handle as you’d usually see with an ADC.

Our view is we’ve to do offers with and 4 belongings that we’ve conviction can truly work, after which we get to some extent the place within the case of each belongings, we are able to transfer ahead fairly aggressively as soon as we’ve proof of idea information.

So I believe our view on timing and your view on timing are totally different, then it’s going to be as much as us to show that as we did with cabo prior to now.

So I believe we’ve a number of confidence and a number of definitely file of success there. The group is rising.

We definitely have a broad internet for added belongings going ahead. My guess and my projection could be these will not be the final two asset offers or choice offers you see for novel belongings.
