Rockville, MD, March 16, 2022 – Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE American: SYN), a diversified clinical-stage company developing therapeutics designed to treat diseases in areas of high unmet need, today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021, and provided a corporate update.
Recent Developments:
· | VCN acquisition: Synthetic Biologics completed the acquisition of privately held VCN Biosciences, developer of a novel oncolytic adenovirus (OV) platform designed for intravenous (IV), intravitreal (IVit) and intratumoral delivery to trigger tumor cell death, improve access of co-administered cancer therapies to the tumor, and promote a robust and sustained anti-tumor response by the patient’s immune system. |
· | Pipeline updates: The acquisition of VCN Biosciences transformed Synthetic Biologics’ pipeline with the addition of VCN's lead clinical-stage drug candidate, VCN-01, as well as preclinical stage VCN-11, which incorporates a proprietary albumin binding domain in the virus shell with the potential to extend the effectiveness of the therapy. |
o | In February of 2022, VCN-01 received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the U.S. FDA for the treatment of retinoblastoma; VCN-01 has previously been granted ODD by the EMA for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. |
o | Regulatory agency recognition builds upon the encouraging clinical data generated to date; VCN-01 has been evaluated in 72 patients across four Phase 1 clinical trials, including patients with pancreatic cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and retinoblastoma. |
o | Enrollment progressed in the Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of SYN-004 (ribaxamase) in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients for the prevention of acute graft-versus-host-disease; and topline data for this cohort are expected in H1 2022. |
o | Completed dosing and follow-up in a Phase 1, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study of SYN-020 in healthy volunteers; SYN-020 was very well tolerated at all doses and patient samples are undergoing pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses. |
Anticipated Milestones:
VCN-01
· | Initiation of VCN-01 dosing in an investigator sponsored study of brain tumors at the University of Leeds (H1 2022). |
· | Initiation of VCN-01 dosing in combination with mesothelin-directed CAR-T cells for pancreatic and ovarian cancer in an investigator sponsored study at the University of Pennsylvania (H1 2022). |
· | Initiation of a Phase 2 study of VCN-01 in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy (gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel) as a first line therapy in newly diagnosed metastatic PDAC patients (H2 2022). |

In addition, we expect research and development expenses to increase as we incur program costs for VCN's product candidates.
This increase of 28.7% primarily comprised of increased consulting and legal costs related to the VCN acquisition, higher insurance costs, audit fees, and public relations expenses.
We believe our cash position of $57.1 million in mid March 2022 is sufficient to fund our operations through at least the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, including continuation of our ongoing Phase 1b/2a clinical study of SYN-004 (ribaxamase) in allogeneic HCT recipients for the prevention of aGVHD, as well as our planned Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical programs for SYN-020 and to fund our committed obligations under the Purchase Agreement for the VCN Acquisition.
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $67.3 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $61.1 million from December 31, 2020.
Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses increased to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
