CalciMedica Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Provides Clinical & Corporate Updates

 

Positive topline data announced from CARPO, Phase 2b trial of Auxora™ in acute pancreatitis (AP); additional data to be presented at a medical meeting later this year

 

First patient enrolled in KOURAGE, Phase 2 trial of Auxora™ in severe acute kidney injury (AKI), with data expected in 2025

 

LA JOLLA, Calif., August 12, 2024 – CalciMedica Inc. (“CalciMedica or the Company”) (Nasdaq: CALC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel inhibition therapies for acute and chronic inflammatory and immunologic illnesses, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

“CalciMedica continues to progress steadily with the successful execution of multiple milestones across our pipeline. In the second quarter, we completed enrollment in our Phase 2b CARPO trial in patients with AP and subsequently announced positive topline data, which met our primary objective and further support Auxora's potential as an effective treatment for critically ill patients with acute inflammatory disease. We look forward to sharing additional data from this trial later in the year and are also planning to meet with the FDA to discuss the design of a Phase 3 trial,” said Rachel Leheny, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of CalciMedica. “In addition, we are excited about KOURAGE, our Phase 2 trial in patients with severe AKI. We are enrolling patients and opening new sites and expect to share topline data from this study in 2025.”

 

Recent Clinical Updates and Anticipated Milestones:

 

Positive topline data announced from Phase 2b CARPO trial: In June 2024, CalciMedica hosted a conference call to review positive topline data from CARPO, the Company’s randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial of Auxora™ in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and accompanying systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The trial met its primary objective with a statistically significant dose response in median time to solid food tolerance in a pre-specified subgroup of hyper-inflamed patients with AP as well as in reduction of severe organ failure across the full patient population. Full data from the trial are expected in the second half of 2024 and the Company plans to present them at future medical meetings. Further, the Company plans to discuss the full results with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in an end-of-phase 2 meeting and to be in a position to initiate a pivotal trial in AP in 2025.

First patient enrolled in Phase 2 KOURAGE trial: In July 2024, CalciMedica announced that the first patient has been dosed in KOURAGE, the Company’s randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial of Auxora™ in patients with severe AKI with associated acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). CalciMedica expects to enroll 150 patients with stage 2 and stage 3 AKI who have AHRF and are receiving oxygen either by non-invasive mechanical ventilation, high flow nasal cannula or intermittent mandatory ventilation. Topline data are expected in 2025.

 

CalciMedica added to Russell Microcap® Index: In July 2024, CalciMedica announced that the Company would be joining the Russell Microcap® Index at the conclusion of the 2024 Russell U.S. Indexes annual reconstitution, which became effective at the open of U.S. equity markets on July 1, 2024.

 

CRSPA study expanded and continuing to enroll in Phase 2 portion of trial: The CRSPA study in asparaginase-induced pancreatic toxicity (AIPT) has been expanded to additional sites as the dose used in the initial cohort has been established as the recommended Phase 2 dose. CalciMedica expects this trial to enroll approximately 24 patients and data are expected in 2025.

 

Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024:

 

As of June 30, 2024, CalciMedica had approximately $19.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, which, based on its current operating plan, CalciMedica expects to be sufficient to fund its operations into the second half of 2025.
Total loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately $6.5 million. Total loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately $12.3 million.
Including the impact of a $2.3 million non-cash gain from the fair value adjustment of the warrant liability and $0.3 million of interest income, the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately $4.0 million, or $0.36 per share (basic and diluted). Including the impact of a $7.9 million non-cash gain from the fair value adjustment of the warrant liability and $0.6 million of interest income, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $3.8 million, or $0.37 per share (basic and diluted).
