Philip Serlin, CEO of BioLineRx, said ""
In November 2024 agreed to license Aphexda to Ayrmid Gamida Cell for $10 million upfront, possibly $87 million in milestones, and 18% to 23% tiered royalties on sales. Expects op ex to decline by 70% following the sale, including closing U.S. operations. Excludes Asia. Also received $9 million equity investment from Highbridge Capital. Will look at adding early-stage programs in 2025. BiolineRx retains rights for solid tumors. Called Arymid an ideal partner.
Launch activities for Aphexda for stem cell mobilization in multiple myeloma continue, but now under Ayrmid.
Evaluating Aphexda (motixafortide) for supporting (stem cell collection for) sickle cell gene therapies in a Phase 1 trial. Continues Phase 2 programs in pancreatic cancer combined with a PD-1 inhibitor, with positive preliminary biopsy data presente at ASCO in June 2024. Partnered with Regeneron and Columbia. Expect full enrollment in 2027.
In 2024 repaid $16.5 million to BlackRock of the $29 million debt, with remainder to be repaid over 3 years at 9.5% interest.
In Q3 agreed with Gloria Biosciences to partner Aphexda in China, beginning with a bridging study. The bridging study needed for the Asian approval, which was expected to begin in 2024. A few Asian nations do not require the study to proceed and revenue could begin in 2H 2024. China has the largest number of multiple myeloma cases of any nation.
