Hansa Biopharma

Lund, Sweden, July 18, 2024, Hansa Biopharma today announced its first half and second quarter 2024 financial results and business update.

Søren Tulstrup, President and CEO, Hansa Biopharma said: "For the third consecutive quarter, Hansa Biopharma delivered solid IDEFIRIX^® sales performance driven by continued utilization of IDEFIRIX in key transplant centers across all major European markets. Additionally, we continued to progress key trials across the pipeline. Notably, we completed randomization of all patients in ConfIdeS, our pivotal Phase 3 US trial in kidney transplantation, and look forward to communicating data in the second half of 2025 with an expected Biologics License Application (BLA) submission to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also, our Phase 3 trial in anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease and the European Post Authorization Efficacy Study (PAES) in kidney transplant have both increased enrollment and remain on track. Looking ahead, the Company has several important milestones in the second half, including further analysis of data from the Phase 1 study of HNSA-5487, the Company's second-generation IgG cleaving enzyme designed to be re-dosed."

Financial Performance

The Company delivered strong financial performance for the third consecutive quarter with total revenue of 54.2 MSEK. Of this, 47.1 MSEK is attributed to IDEFIRIX sales. This excludes the impact of an approximate 20 MSEK provision related to potential price adjustments from cumulative sales since the launch of IDEFIRIX in Europe in 2020. After accounting for this provision, total IDEFIRIX product sales were 27.2 MSEK.

Sales performance was primarily driven by continued expansion of IDEFIRIX in key European markets. To date, the Company has secured reimbursement in 14 European markets.

In Q2 2024, the Company completed a directed share issue, raising gross proceeds of 372 MSEK (US $34.6M) primarily from high-quality international healthcare specialist investors.

Pipeline Progress

Progress across the pipeline included the completed randomization in the ConfIdeS pivotal Phase 3 US trial in kidney transplantation, further enrollment in the European Post Approval Efficacy Study in kidney transplantation (70 percent) with expected completion by 2025, and continued enrollment (70 percent) in the GOOD-IDES-12 Phase 3 trial in anti-GBM disease with data readout in 2025.
