2024 Guidance
Theravance continues to expect adjusted R&D expenses (excluding share-based compensation) in the $30-$36 million range. Adjusted SG&A expenses (excluding share-based compensation) are projected between $45 million and $55 million.
TBPH continues to expect share-based compensation expenses of $18-$22 million in 2024.
For the remainder of 2024, TBPH now expects levels of both adjusted losses and cash burn to be the same as the first half of 2024. Earlier, the company expected to achieve breakeven in the second half of 2024 while expecting limited cash burn for the year.
Pipeline Updates
Theravance is developing an investigational candidate, ampreloxetine (TD-9855), a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). The FDA has granted Orphan Drug designation to ampreloxetine for the given indication.
The company initiated the phase III CYPRESS study evaluating ampreloxetine for nOH MSA in the first quarter of 2024. The CYPRESS study is expected to complete patient enrollment by mid-2025, which was earlier expected to be completed by the second half of 2024. Top-line data from the same is expected almost six months after enrollment is completed. TBPH plans to submit regulatory filings for ampreloxetine if the study data is found to be positive.
