Plozasiran

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Reports... – Conference Call and Webcast Today, May 12, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET PASADENA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May 12, 2025– Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2025 second quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company is hosting a conference call today, May 12, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the results. “Arrowhead is in a strong and stable position as a business, and we have made meaningful progress towards our long-term goal of developing and ultimately commercializing new innovative medicines for millions of patients. We are on schedule to launch plozasiran this year, pending regulatory approval, with what we think is a best-in-class profile with meaningful differentiation from currently available therapies in FCS. We are also well on our way to fully enrolling Phase 3 studies designed to support regulatory submissions for the large SHTG patient population,” said Christopher Anzalone, Ph.D., President and CEO at Arrowhead. “Following the closing last quarter of the agreement with Sarepta Therapeutics, Arrowhead is now funded into 2028 with no current needs for further cash infusions from an equity raise or other sources. During that period, we see the potential for multiple commercial launches of both wholly owned programs that we intend to launch independently, and programs being developed and commercialized by partners. In addition, we believe our TRiMTM technology platform is the broadest and best in the field, giving us many opportunities to receive additional capital inflows from business development in areas that are outside of our core commercial focus.” Selected Recent Events Closed a licensing and collaboration agreement with Sarepta Therapeutics and received $825 million, consisting of $500 million cash and $325 million as an equity investment priced at $27.25, representing a 35% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average price. Arrowhead will also receive $250 million to be paid over five years. Arrowhead is also eligible to receive an additional $300 million in near-term payments, royalties on commercial sales, and approximately $10 billion in potential milestone payments. Announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for investigational plozasiran for the treatment of familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), a severe and rare genetic disease. The clinical basis of the NDA submission is comprised of the positive findings from the Phase 3 PALISADE study with supportive confirmatory evidence from the Phase 2 clinical studies of the SUMMIT program. PALISADE successfully met its primary endpoint and all multiplicity-controlled key secondary endpoints, including statistically significant reductions in triglycerides, apolipoprotein C-III, and the incidence of acute pancreatitis. The FDA provided a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of November 18, 2025, and indicated it is not currently planning to hold an advisory committee meeting. Launched new patient-centric resources for those affected by FCS. New Patient Resource Hub: Arrowhead expands its We’ll Get There Soon campaign with the launch of a dedicated patient website, providing education, tools, and support for those living with FCS and extremely high triglycerides. Amplifying Patient Voices: The Spotlight on FCS white paper shares real patient experiences, highlighting the challenges of managing this ultra-rare disease and the need for greater awareness. Commitment to the FCS Community: On Rare Disease Day and beyond, Arrowhead remains dedicated to elevating patient voices and fostering community engagement. #ForFCS. Presented preclinical data supporting the advancement of two first-in-class clinical stage, RNAi-based investigational therapeutics being developed for the treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases. ARO-INHBE and ARO-ALK7 both target a known pathway that signals the body to store fat in adipose tissue with a novel mechanism of action that may better preserve lean muscle mass compared to currently approved obesity therapies. Data highlight Arrowhead’s leadership in the use of RNA interference to potentially treat obesity. Announced topline results from Part 2 of a Phase 1/2 Study of ARO-C3 in patients with IgA nephropathy ARO-C3 achieved deep and sustained reductions in alternative pathway complement activity and proteinuria Mean sustained reductions in C3 of greater than 87%, AH50 of greater than 76%, and Wieslab AP of greater than 89% through week 24 Mean reduction in spot urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) of 41% by week 24 Announced that, effective May 13, 2025, Arrowhead’s Chief Financial Officer, Ken Myszkowski, will retire after 16 years of service to the company and will be succeeded by Daniel Apel, who has been appointed as the company’s new Chief Financial Officer.

About Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead’s RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.

The National Triglyceride Alliance plans to work with the American Society for Preventive Cardiology and other organizations with shared objectives to “provide evidence-based education, expert-driven resources and clinical guidance to healthcare providers.” Ionis Pharmaceuticals and Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals have found a common cause amid their emerging rivalry. While preparing to go head to head in a rare disease market, the companies have signed up to be the top two sponsors of the newly launched National Triglyceride Alliance (NTA). The biotechs are both targeting conditions characterized by elevated triglyceride levels in the blood. Ionis won FDA approval for its antisense oligonucleotide Tryngolza late last year, and the FDA is reviewing Arrowhead’s application for approval of RNAi therapy plozasiran in the same indication. Both companies are also working to bring their molecules to market in another indication in which elevated triglycerides drive disease.While Ionis and Arrowhead are in direct competition, that rivalry gives the companies shared interest. Enter the NTA. The working group will “offer educational programs, clinical resources and ongoing initiatives aimed at improving understanding and treatment strategies for high triglycerides,” according to Friday’s launch announcement.Ionis is a founding sponsor of the NTA, Arrowhead is a national sponsor and Amarin, which sells Vascepa for use in certain adults with elevated triglycerides, has come on board as a local sponsor. The NTA lists the founder, national and local sponsorship levels at $250,000, $50,000 and $15,000, respectively. The NTA plans to work with the American Society for Preventive Cardiology and other organizations with shared objectives to “provide evidence-based education, expert-driven resources and clinical guidance to healthcare providers.” Through such initiatives, the NTA is aiming to give healthcare professionals the education and tools to effectively manage patients with high triglyceride levels. Ionis and Arrowhead are also working independently to lay the foundations for sales growth. With FDA approval in the bag, Ionis recently kicked off Tryngolza campaigns aimed at patients and healthcare professionals. Arrowhead, meanwhile, is yet to win approval but began priming the market last year with “We’ll Get There Soon,” a push to spread the word about the importance of treating patients with triglycerides above 500 mg/dL.
