CEO's comment on the second quarter of 2012

"Good progress in all parts of the company"

We continued to develop Medivir into a profitable Nordic pharmaceutical company, and made good progress in all parts of the company. Sales of original pharmaceuticals progressed as planned, and made continued stable progress in the second quarter. Parallel imports, through Cross Pharma, are operating on an expansive and fast-moving market where our experience and long-term commitment continued to create value.

TMC435 gained its generic name - simeprevir. Phase III trials on simeprevir continued as planned and new data presented in the period confirmed simeprevir's good prospects of becoming an essential component in the optimal triple therapy for hepatitis C (HCV). Simeprevir's competitive profile also engenders good hopes of an important role in future interferon-free therapies. Extensive phase II trials have demonstrated good safety and efficacy, not least in the hardest-to-treat patient groups where there is the greatest need for therapy.

The company's proprietary projects progressed as planned. In May, phase I trials commenced on our in-house developed cathepsin K inhibitor MIV-711, for treating skeletal disorders. We also have strong hopes of being able to designate a nucleotide CD in our own early HCV projects before year-end. In June, we initiated a partnership with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala on the development of new antibiotics against resistant bacteria, a project that is consistent with our strategy.

Henric Juserius was appointed as our new Commercial EVP in the quarter, and took up his position in August. We also integrated our clinical development operations into our R&D organization, which meant that Jens Kristensen left the company at the end of July.

The company's business operations

The Pharmaceuticals business area

The Pharmaceuticals business area includes the group's research and development projects, the cold sore pharmaceutical Xerclear® and original pharmaceuticals owned by BioPhausia. Sales were stable, with retained profitability margins in the second quarter. Mollipect, Citodon and Lithionit remained Medivir's most important pharmaceuticals on the market. Net sales for the second quarter from pharmaceuticals sales were SEK 38.9 (16.2) m. EBITDA was SEK -45.5 (169.2) m. EBITDA includes research and development costs of SEK -49.5 (-44.6) m.

GlaxoSmithKline's European launch of Medivir's in-house developed cold sore pharmaceutical Xerclear® in five countries, under the Zoviduo and Zovirax Duo brands, continued in the second quarter. As the product is launched in additional European countries, its value in Medivir's accounts will become more visible.

Parallel imports in Cross Pharma

The positive sales trend continued. In the second quarter, sales were SEK 108.3 (26.6) m, showing a sales growth for the seventh consecutive quarter. However, the investment in Cross Pharma, through means including an express initiative to register new pharmaceuticals to extend the portfolio, continued to reduce Cross Pharma's operating margin. EBITDA was SEK 3.0 (0.2) m.

R&D

Simeprevir (TMC435) - Medivir's protease inhibitor in clinical phase III for treating hepatitis C

Phase III trials on simeprevir progressed as planned during the period and we expect to be able to present initial data from these trials around the coming year-end. From extensive phase II trials, we know that simeprevir addresses needs in all patient groups effectively and safely, simultaneous with this compound being easy to administer, possible in a single day tablet dose. Good efficacy is especially important in the hardest-to treat and most severely affected patient groups. The strength of the results from treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients in phase IIb trials demonstrate that through its mechanism of action, simeprevir will be an important component in future interferonfree treatments.

Combination therapy is a prerequisite for realizing interferon and ribavirin-free treatments. In July, a phase II trial commenced designed to study combination treatment with simeprevir and daclatasvir

from Bristol-Myers Squibb. This trial is another key step in collecting data for future combination therapies with simeprevir as a solid cornerstone. The combination trial in phase II on simeprevir and Gilead's nucleotide inhibitor GS7977, which commenced at the beginning of the year, progressed well. We hope to be able to present the first partial results from this trial before year-end.

Hepatitis C projects in-house

Our own preclinical HCV projects progressed as planned in the second quarter. As previously, our goal is to be able to designate a CD in the nucleotide project before year-end.

Cathepsin K

Phase I trials on our in-house developed CD MIV-711, for treating skeletal disorders, commenced in May. Phase Ia trials with increasing single doses to evaluate safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetics on healthy individuals concluded recently. The results were promising and phase Ib trials have commenced that will examine the treatment of healthy trial subjects for 7-14 days at increasing doses. These trials also include measuring markers of cartilage and bone resorption.

Highlights of the second quarter 2012

Extended clinical partnership with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) on simeprevir (TMC435)

The previous collaboration agreement was extended in April and is part of the strategy of evaluating simeprevir in various interferon and ribavirin-free combinations for future new therapies for patients with hepatitis C genotype 1. The clinical collaboration agreement is also designed to evaluate BMS's nucleotide NS5B polymerase inhibitor, BMS-986094. This extended agreement covers:

  • Phase III interferon and ribavirin-free combination trials with simeprevir and BMS's compound daclatasvir, assuming the results of the current clinical phase II combination trials support continued clinical development in terms of efficacy and safety.
  • The second part of the agreement covers simeprevir and BMS-986094.

Simeprevir and daclatasvir

Simeprevir is a potent NS3/4A protease inhibitor dosed once daily. Simeprevir is in clinical phase III development for treating chronic hepatitis C virus infections (HCV) of genotype 1. A phase II trial evaluating simeprevir in combination with BMS's CD daclatasvir (BMS-790052), an NS5A replication complex inhibitor, which is also in phase III development, commenced in July.

The interferon-free phase II trial on simeprevir in combination with daclatasvir enrolls treatment-naïve and previous null responders infected with HCV genotype 1a and 1b. In total, this trial will enroll some 180 patients and evaluate a combination of simeprevir and daclatasvir in four treatment groups with 12 or 24 weeks' treatment, and with or without ribavirin.

Trial design

This open phase II trial will study the share of patients that achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) 12 (SVR 12) and 24 (SVR 24) weeks after treatment concludes. Up to 35% of the patients enrolled in the trial will be suffering from advanced liver disease (F3/F4).

Treatment groups 1 and 2 will enroll patients with genotype 1b, where simeprevir and daclatasvir will be dosed with or without ribavirin for 12 weeks with follow-up 36 weeks after treatment concludes, or 24 weeks with follow-up 24 weeks after treatment concludes.

Treatment groups 3 and 4 will enroll patients with genotype 1a, where simeprevir, daclatasvir and ribavirin will be dosed for 12 and 24 weeks respectively with follow-up 24 weeks after treatment concludes.

Janssen Therapeutics EMEA, a newly formed division for launching simeprevir (TMC435)

In April, Janssen presented the formation of an all-new division, Janssen Therapeutics EMEA, intended to launch simeprevir in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This new division is headquartered in Belgium. Our partner has now laid the foundation for a clear and focused launch strategy for simeprevir outside the Nordics.

Presentation of final phase II data for simeprevir (TMC435) in hard-to-treat hepatitis C patients

The ASPIRE trial enrolled 462 hepatitis C genotype 1 patients; relapsers, partial responders or null responders to previous treatment with interferon and ribavirin. 62% (287/462) of patients had advanced liver disease, periportal or septal fibrosis, or cirrhosis, upon entry to the trial (Metavir score F2-F4), which means they are especially hard to treat.

The trial demonstrates that simeprevir-based treatment generated a significant increase in the share of patients with SVR that were previous null responders to hepatitis C treatment. All simeprevir subgroups achieved significantly higher shares of SVR24 patients compared to control group (interferon and ribavirin in combination only). The results indicate that the share of SVR patients compared to control group was 85% against 37% for relapsers after previous treatment, 75% against 9% for previous partial responders and 51% against 19% for previous null responders. Simeprevir was generally safe and well tolerated in all patient groups.

Overall, simeprevir was demonstrated as highly effective in all patient groups, including treatmentnaïve patients, whose final efficacy and safety data was presented previously. These characteristics, including the fact that simeprevir has high SVR in patients with advanced liver disease including those with cirrhosis, will position simeprevir as a highly attractive therapy alternative, both as an adjuvant to interferon and ribavirin, and in future combination products without them.

Clinical phase I trials on cathepsin K inhibitor MIV-711 commenced in May

Clinical phase I trials on Medivir's in-house developed CD MIV-711 commenced in May. MIV-711 is a cathepsin K inhibitor designed to treat skeletal disorders that feature high bone resorption such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and bone metastases.

This first study on humans is a combination phase Ia and phase Ib trial. Initially, MIV-711 is being administered in the form of gradually increasing single doses on healthy trial subjects, followed by a second part with repeated single daily doses for 7-14 days. The purpose of the trial is to examine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy on biomarkers relevant to bone and cartilage resorption. The trial design means that Medivir can investigate how MIV-711 affects biomarkers that are relevant to bone and cartilage metabolism, which will offer an indication of therapeutic dose and thus valuable information on the treatment doses that should be used in the forthcoming trials. The overall results for the whole trial are expected around year-end.

Medivir commences collaboration with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU)

This partnership with scientists at SLU is designed to identify and develop new experimental drugs against bacteria that have become resistant to current antibiotics.

SLU scientists have long-term experience of isolating new microorganisms and their metabolites that microorganisms compete with in nature. These low-molecular chemical compounds, potentially with new action mechanisms, may constitute the start-point for developing new antibiotics for treating severe bacterial infections. Medivir will continue to develop the compounds that SLU produces in this early screening collaboration.

Post-period end highlights

Clinical phase Ia trial on cathepsin K inhibitor completed and phase Ib trial commences

Based on the promising results from the recently completed clinical phase Ia study, we have now initiated the phase Ib study. The study will evaluate the treatment of healthy individuals including postmenopausal women for 7-14 days with increasing doses.

The overall phase I trial results are scheduled for presentation at around year-end.

Project portfolio

Medivir has a broad-based project portfolio for treating several infectious diseases. The company will continue to focus on progressing this pipeline in addition to looking for new potential opportunities through acquisition or licensing. Medivir will continue to seek out future partnerships on product development, but intends to retain commercial rights for its projects in the Nordics.

Outlook

Medivir is a research-based pharmaceutical company focused on infectious diseases. Its goal is to be a profitable Nordic pharmaceutical company in strong growth within a few years. Medivir is working on a goal-oriented and strategic footing to create the best possible prospects of developing the company quickly and with balanced risks. The company has a solid financial position.

The acquisition of BioPhausia brings yearly sales of prescription pharmaceuticals on the Nordic market of just over SEK 500 m, as well as an all-new organization. Medivir now possesses the breadth of know-how and operations extending from research and development to the marketing and sale of prescription pharmaceuticals. Medivir also possesses attractive projects in development phases, with simeprevir (TMC435) being the most advanced, which is in clinical phase III. In combination with the ambition of identifying new business opportunities in the Nordics, these factors are the foundation of the continued work to develop Medivir towards profitability.

Transactions with related parties

Transactions with related parties are on an arm's length basis.

There are agreements between companies owned by senior managers and Medivir conferring entitlement to royalties on products the company may develop based on patented inventions the company has purchased from the relevant people before and during their time as researchers at Medivir. Remuneration of SEK 0.0 (0.9) m occurred in the period. Other services purchased from related parties amount to SEK 0.3 (0.0) m. Intragroup sales amounted to SEK 3.4 (0.0) m. Intragroup purchases amounted to SEK 1.4 (0.0) m.

Stock option plans

The intention of stock option plans is to promote the company's long-term interests by motivating and rewarding the company's senior managers and other staff.

Outstanding options, redemption and forfeiture

At the beginning of 2012, Medivir had two outstanding option plans divided between a total of 712 507 outstanding options, which correspond to 776 633 class B shares. In the period, 5 688 options in the 2010 program were converted and the remaining 312 419 options in the plan were forfeited due to the expiration of their term on 30 April 2012. The acquisition of options in the period increased share capital by SEK 0.0 m and other paid-up capital by SEK 0.4 m. The number of outstanding options corresponds to some 1.4% of the capital and some 1.2% of the votes, and upon full exercise, could increase equity by SEK 56.9 m, and accordingly, the total number of shares could amount to 33 689 923. After the rights issue in the second quarter of 2010, the conversion terms for the option plans were restated. The options from the 2007 and 2010 programs confer entitlement to conversion of 1.09 shares per option. The exercise price for the option plans has also been restated.

Option plan 2007-2012

The AGM 2007 approved a staff stock option plan of 480 000 options. Some 360 000 staff stock options were granted to employees of the group and the remaining options were retained to cover social security costs. The term of this plan is 18 June 2007 to 30 April 2012, and after vesting, holders are entitled to exercise each option to subscribe for a new class B share against payment of an exercise price. Accordingly, this option plan was forfeited in the second quarter of 2012.

Option plan 2010-2013

The AGM 2010 approved a staff stock option plan of 394 400 options. Some 343 000 options were granted to employees of the group and the remaining options will be retained to cover social security costs. According to the terms of this plan, all employees are offered the opportunity to acquire warrants on market terms. In addition, for each warrant an employee acquires, they also receive a staff stock option free of charge. The term of this plan is 30 April 2010 to 31 May 2013. After vesting, holders are entitled to exercise each option to subscribe for a new class B share against payment of an exercise price.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

An effective risk assessment reconciles Medivir's business opportunities and results of operations with shareholders' and other stakeholders' requirements for long-term value growth and control. Research and pharmaceutical development until approved registration is a highly risky and capital-intensive process. The majority of projects that are started never reach market registration. If competing products take market share or competing research projects achieve better effect and reach the market faster, the future value of Medivir's product and project portfolio may be lower than expected. Medivir's ability to produce new CDs (candidate drugs), enter partnerships on its projects and successfully develop its projects to market launch and continued sale, and to secure funding of its operations, are decisive to its future.

Medivir is exposed to the following main categories of risk:

  • Exogenous risks—such as regulatory approval, competition, price changes, external seasonality and patent protection;
  • Operating risks—such as integration risk, production risk and dependency on key employees and partnerships;
  • Financial risks—such as liquidity, interest, currency and credit risk.

No changes to risks and uncertainty factors occurred in the period. A more detailed description of exposure to risk, and how Medivir manages it, is provided in the Annual Report 2011.

This Report has not been subject to review by the company's auditors.
