REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a clinical-stage oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and provided an update on corporate progress.
The company continues making progress on its 2024 development priorities:
“The highly innovative investigational drug RMC-6236 continues to show progress in targeting RAS-addicted solid tumors, and our highest priority is to enable our goal of initiating pivotal monotherapy trials for patients with PDAC and NSCLC this year,” said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines. “The compelling profile of RMC-6236 is supported by a slate of recent scientific publications and clinical and preclinical presentations at this year’s AACR Annual Meeting that elucidate the basis of this compound’s antitumor activity and safety profile. We have also initiated exploratory clinical studies of key combination approaches, including with our RAS(ON) mutant-selective inhibitors, that may be appropriate for pivotal studies in earlier lines of treatment with RMC-6236.”
Clinical Development Highlights
Plans to Advance RMC-6236 Monotherapy into Pivotal Trials
Expanding the Reach of RMC-6236 into RAS Cancer Genotypes Beyond RAS G12X and Tumor Types Beyond PDAC and NSCLC
Evaluating RMC-6236 in Earlier Lines of Therapy in NSCLC, PDAC and CRC
Qualifying RMC-6291 for Earlier Lines of Therapy
Qualifying RMC-9805 for Earlier Lines of Therapy
RAS Innovation Engine
Beyond the first wave of clinical-stage RAS(ON) inhibitors, additional clinical development opportunities include the RAS(ON) mutant-selective inhibitors RMC-5127 (G12V), RMC-0708 (Q61H) and RMC-8839 (G13C) and the RAS companion inhibitors RMC-4630 (SHP2) and RMC-5552 (mTORC1/4EBP1).
Corporate and Financial Highlights
First Quarter Results
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.70 billion as of March 31, 2024, compared to $1.85 billion as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to net loss for the quarter and a $50.9 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the first quarter of 2024 resulting from the timing of payments for expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2023, uneven timing of expenses and the related cash payments caused a one-time increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $56.7 million. This normalized by the end of the first quarter of 2024, resulting in anticipated cash payments and a corresponding decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Revenue: Total revenue was zero for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $7.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue was due to the termination of the company’s collaboration agreement with Sanofi in 2023.
R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $118.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $68.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in clinical trial expenses and clinical supply manufacturing for RMC-6236, RMC-6291 and RMC-9805, an increase in personnel-related expenses related to additional headcount and an increase in stock-based compensation.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $22.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $13.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related expenses related to additional headcount and an increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Net Loss: Net loss was $116.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $68.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Financial Guidance
Revolution Medicines is reiterating its projected full year 2024 GAAP net loss to be between $480 million and $520 million, which includes estimated non-cash stock-based compensation expense of between $70 million and $80 million. Based on the company’s current operating plan, the company projects current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities can fund planned operations into 2027.
