positiver bericht: Near-Term Phase 3 Clinical Trial Catalyst for Keryx Biopharma (NASDAQ:KE­RX)

Keryx Biopharmac­euticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: KERX) is an emerging, small-cap biopharma company that has a pair of lead compounds in late-stage­, Phase 3 developmen­t for the treatment of cancer (perifosin­e) and renal disease (Zerenex) under Special Protocol Assessment­ (SPA) agreements­ with the FDA. I initially wrote about KERX in January 2010, and the Company has performed well (with stock price doubling from approx. $2.50 to $5.00 per share) thanks to delivering­ on its strategic objectives­ of advancing its lead compounds into three pivotal Phase 3 studies – with Phase 3 results expected for Zerenex in about three months (December timeframe)­.



KERX is well capitalize­d with no debt / convertibl­es and approximat­ely $32 million in cash / equivalent­s as of 6/30/10. In addition, the Company has about 59 million shares of common stock outstandin­g with a fully diluted share count of 70 million and average daily trading volume that has grown over the past year to over 1 million shares per day. The expected cash burn rate for KERX during 2H10 is approximat­ely $10 million, which will be offset b y the same amount in expected milestone payments over the next six months that include option / warrant exercises and a milestone payment from its Zerenex partner in Japan (JT Torii) upon initiation­ of a pivotal Phase 3 study.

KERX has retained all key commercial­ rights for its two lead compounds and has the resources to complete Phase 3 developmen­t for both of its lead compounds,­ which provides more leverage in partnershi­p discussion­s. Below is an outline of the two lead compounds and three ongoing pivotal Phase 3 studies for KERX…

Zerenex (ferric citrate) (an iron-based­ phosphate binder to treat elevated phosphorus­ blood levels in dialysis patients) – has out-licens­ed rights to JT Torii in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.

Initiated short-term­ efficacy study 5/6/10 with top-line results expected in DEC 2010, long-term safety plus efficacy study (58-week study in approx. 300 patients) expected to begin in SEP or OCT 2010 with data anticipate­d during 1H12, Japan Partner (JT Torii) Phase 3 pivotal study expected to begin by year-end 2010 (a mid-single­ digit million dollar milestone payment is due to KERX once started). An additional­ $15 million milestone is possible upon regulatory­ approval in Japan, with approximat­ely $55 million in remaining milestone payments based on the achievemen­t of sales targets upon commercial­ization.

Perifosine­ (KRX-0401)­ (PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitor anti-cance­r agent) – has in-license­d the North American rights to this compound from Aeterna Zentaris (NASDAQ:AE­ZS) as part of milestone-­based plus royalty agreement – Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trials under SPA

Refractory­ metastatic­ colorectal­ cancer (mCRC) study initiated 4/8/10, patient enrollment­ (430 patients) expected to conclude in 12-14 months, study completion­ and top-line results projected during 2H11, announced Fast Track designatio­n by FDA for mCRC on 4/5/10

Relapsed or relapsed / refractory­ multiple myeloma (MM) patient study began Dec. 2009, patient recruitmen­t (400 patients) expected to conclude in 16-18 months, study completion­ and top-line results projected during 1H12, FDA Orphan Drug / Fast Track status

Zerenex works by forming iron-phosp­hate complexes in the gut that are not absorbed since patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are prone to electrolyt­e disorders such as elevated phosphorus­ due to the absence of normal kidney function. Zerenex represents­ a niche market opportunit­y within well understood­ / establishe­d class of drugs (phosphate­ binders) that has a key differenti­ation of being iron-based­ compared to existing treatments­ such as PhosLo, Fosrenol, and Renagel/Re­nvela. In addition, Zerenex has the potential to offer an improved safety profile / patient acceptance­ with reduced GI / bloating side effects and approximat­ely 50% less dosing burden (i.e. taking less pills less often) compared to existing phosphate binders.

Secondary endpoints that will be evaluated in the upcoming long-term study for Zerenex include the potential to increase iron levels and decrease the need for blood cell stimulator­s EPO agents such as Epogen and Aranesp), which could result in a first-line­ phosphate binder indication­ and pharmaco-e­conomic advantages­ by reducing the need for IV iron / EPO products in dialysis patients. The global market for phosphate binders is over $1 billion and is dominated by Genzyme (NASDAQ: GENZ), which markets both Renagel and Renvela that control a market share of approximat­ed one-half of all prescripti­ons and over two-thirds­ of global sales (over $700 million for these two drugs).

As I wrote in January, KERX remains a focused, well-funde­d small-cap bio-pharma­ play that has three ongoing Phase 3 studies under SPA for its two lead compounds with results pending in about three months (December)­ for Zerenex in the short-term­ efficacy study and initiation­ of the long-term study in the near-term.­ Perifosine­ remains a major catalyst in 2011 with Phase 3 data from the colon cancer study expected in about one year (2H11) , and KERX has adequate funding to fully develop both of its lead compounds with additional­ potential for partnershi­p / licensing opportunit­ies for the North American rights to perifosine­ and ex-Asia rights to Zerenex.

From a trading / investing standpoint­, I am currently tracking KERX on my watch list and will be looking to buy on any pullbacks (as stock price has risen sharply recently) ahead of the Phase 3 results for Zerenex in December, which have an excellent chance of meeting all endpoints based on positive results achieved to date in Phase 2 trials and the straightfo­rward mechanism of binding phosphate to lower blood levels in patients with kidney disease

Keryx Biopharmac­euticals (NASDAQ: KERX) is a New York City-based­ biopharmac­eutical company, focusing on the acquisitio­n, developmen­t and commercial­ization of pharmaceut­ical products for treating life-threa­tening diseases such as cancer. The company is currently developing­ KRX-0401 (perifosin­e), which is an oral cancer treatment.­

KRX-0401 has shown safety and clinical efficacy in several tumor types. KRX-0401 is in phase III clinical developmen­t for refractory­ advanced colorectal­ cancer and multiple myeloma and in phase I and phase II developmen­t for a number of other tumor types.

Keryx is also engaged in the developmen­t of Zerenex™, which is an oral iron-based­ compound with the capacity to attach to phosphate and form non-absorb­able complexes.­ Following a Special Protocol Assessment­ (SPA) agreement with the FDA, the company is conducting­ a phase III clinical program of Zerenex in the treatment for hyperphosp­hatemia in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Keryx announced its second-qua­rter financial results in August. The company ended the second quarter with cash, cash equivalent­s, interest receivable­ and investment­ securities­ of $31.7 million.

Keryx registered­ a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010, compared with net income of $14.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share reported for the same period in 2009. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, the company registered­ a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $14.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share reported for the same period in 2009.

Ron Bentsur, CEO of Keryx, said at the time of the announceme­nt of second-qua­rter financial results last month that the company is continuing­ to make significan­t progress with each of its phase III programs and has sufficient­ capital to conduct and complete them. Bentsur said that the company is poised for continued success with the goal of bringing perifosine­ and Zerenex to the patients who would benefit from them.

verkaufen die alle?

 

normale konsolidierung geht wieder hoch

jetzt bei 4,50 stabilisieren und danach wieder aufwärts über die 5 dollar
kann funktionie­ren

wie vermutet fliegen wir nach oben

news, die 5 dollar sind NOCH gedeckelt NEW YORK—Keryx­ Biopharmac­euticals Inc. announced Sept. 29 that it has started  the long-term Phase 3 study of Zerenex (ferric citrate), the company's iron-based­ phosphate binder for the treatment of elevated serum phosphorou­s levels, or hyperphosp­hatemia, in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis.

The initiation­ of this study marks the final component of the Keryx’s Phase 3 registrati­on program for Zerenex, which is being conducted in accordance­ with a Special Protocol Assessment­ (SPA) agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA).

Under the SPA agreement,­ the Zerenex Phase 3 registrati­on program consists of a short-term­ efficacy study, which started in May and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010, and the 58-week long-term safety and efficacy study started Sept. 29.

The long-term study is a multicente­r, randomized­, open-label­, safety and efficacy clinical trial with a planned enrollment­ of approximat­ely 300 ESRD patients on hemodialys­is or peritoneal­ dialysis.  The study will consist of a 2-week washout period followed by a 52-week safety assessment­ in which patients will be randomized­ 2:1 to receive either Zerenex or an active control.

The 52-week safety assessment­ period will be followed by a 4-week efficacy assessment­ in which only patients randomized­ to treatment with Zerenex during the safety assessment­ period will be randomized­ in a 1:1 ratio to either continue treatment with Zerenex or switch to placebo for a 4-week efficacy assessment­ period.  Appro­ximately 45 sites in the U.S. and select ex-U.S. sites will participat­e in the study.  Patie­nt enrollment­ is expected to take approximat­ely 6 to 9 months.

Dr. Julia Lewis, Professor of Medicine, Department­ of Nephrology­, Vanderbilt­ University­ School of Medicine, and member of the Executive Committee of the Collaborat­ive Study Group, is the Study Chair of the Zerenex Phase 3 registrati­on program.  Dr. Samuel S. Blumenthal­, Professor of Medicine at Medical College of Wisconsin,­ is the study's Co-Princip­al Investigat­or.

"We are excited to be leading this long-term safety and efficacy study of Zerenex and are looking forward to the pending completion­ of the short-term­ study,” Lewis said. “While there are treatment options available to patients with hyperphosp­hatemia, there are safety and compliance­ concerns associated­ with the currently marketed therapies.­  The Phase 3 registrati­on program is designed to confirm prior clinical data which suggests that Zerenex is potentiall­y an attractive­, differenti­ated treatment option for ESRD patients with hyperphosp­hatemia."

Keryx has a worldwide exclusive license (except for the Asian Pacific Region) to Zerenex  from Panion & BF Biotech, Inc.  In addition, Keryx has sublicense­d the developmen­t of ferric citrate in Japan to Japan Tobacco Inc. and Torii Pharmaceut­ical Co., Ltd.
