Global regulatory development plan for elacestrant established
Strong balance sheet with $430.3 million in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
WALTHAM, Mass., March 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radius Health, Inc. ("Radius" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:RDUS), today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017, and provided a business update.
“Our fourth-quarter and full year results highlight the great performance of TYMLOS which we expect to become the leader in the anabolic market,” said Jesper Høiland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Radius.
“I’m also very pleased to announce that in January we aligned with the FDA on a regulatory path for our investigational abaloparatide patch, a novel technology with potential to provide a convenient, alternative treatment option for osteoporosis patients. This innovation is aimed at expanding both the abaloparatide and total anabolic addressable markets. We are also excited to announce that we have entered into a commercial supply agreement with 3M Company under which 3M has agreed to exclusively manufacture commercial supplies of abaloparatide patches,” Mr. Høiland continued.
“Following the strong single-agent activity seen in our elacestrant Phase 1 study, we have finalized our global development strategy based on recent feedback from the EMA and the FDA. We expect to initiate a global, randomized, comparator-controlled Phase 2 study of elacestrant as a third-line monotherapy for ER-positive/HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer in the second half of 2018. Depending on the study results, this single trial could support applications for global marketing approvals.”
“I believe our clinical progress and operational performance during 2017 have built solid momentum for a strong 2018 for Radius,” Mr. Høiland concluded.

Fourth Quarter 2017 Finance Review
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, Radius reported a net loss of $71.0 million, or $1.59 per share, compared to a net loss of $52.7 million, or $1.22 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
For the three months ended December 31, 2017, Radius reported TYMLOS net product revenues of $7.7 million, which reflects the second full quarter of recorded sales. Radius had no revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2016 as the FDA approved TYMLOS on April 28, 2017.
Research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017, was $22.9 million compared to $25.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $2.7 million or 10.5 percent, primarily attributable to a decrease in R&D costs associated with the development of TYMLOS and elacestrant.
Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017, was $50.7 million compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $23.2 million or 84.4 percent primarily due to personnel, promotional, and consulting expenses related to the launch of TYMLOS.
Full Year 2017 Finance Review
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, Radius reported a net loss of $254.2 million, or $5.80 per share, compared to a net loss of $182.8 million, or $ 4.24 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 Radius reported TYMLOS net product revenues of $12.1 million. Radius had no revenue in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 as the FDA approved TYMLOS on April 28, 2017.
Research and development expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, was $83.1 million compared to $107.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $24.3 million or 22.6 percent primarily due to the reduction in R&D expenses associated with the elacestrant projects and the development of TYMLOS.
Selling, general, and administrative expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, was $186.7 million compared to $77.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $109.2 million, or 140.9%, primarily attributable to personnel and other support costs resulting from the commercial launch of TYMLOS.
As of December 31, 2017, Radius had $430.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Based upon our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance, we believe that, prior to the consideration of proceeds from partnering and/or collaboration activities, we have sufficient capital to fund our development plans, U.S. commercial and other operational activities for not less than twelve months from the date of this press release.

About Radius
Radius is a science-driven fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that is committed to developing and commercializing innovative endocrine therapeutics in the areas of osteoporosis and oncology. Radius' lead product, TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. Radius' Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for abaloparatide-SC for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis is under regulatory review in Europe. The Radius clinical pipeline includes an investigational abaloparatide patch for potential use in osteoporosis; the investigational drug elacestrant (RAD1901) for potential use in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer; and the investigational drug RAD140, a non-steroidal, selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) under investigation for potential use in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. For more information, please visit www.radiuspharm.com.
About TYMLOS (abaloparatide injection)
TYMLOS (abaloparatide injection) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture defined as history of osteoporotic fracture, multiple risk factors for fracture, or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. Radius' Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for abaloparatide-SC for the treatment of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis was validated and is currently undergoing regulatory review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Radius also is developing abaloparatide patch based on 3M Company's patented Microstructured Transdermal System technology for potential use as a treatment for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
About ACTIVE and ACTIVExtend
The Phase 3 ACTIVE (Abaloparatide Comparator Trial In Vertebral Endpoints) trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative, multicenter, 18 month international study in 2,463 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-SC 80 mcg to reduce the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. The results of ACTIVE were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in August of 2016. ACTIVExtend, an extension of ACTIVE, enrolled patients who had completed 18 months of abaloparatide-SC or placebo in ACTIVE to receive up to 24 additional months of open-label alendronate. The results of the first six months of ACTIVExtend were published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings in February of 2017.
About Elacestrant (RAD1901)
Elacestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), which is being evaluated for potential use as a once daily oral treatment for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. Elacestrant is currently being investigated for potential use in women with advanced estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative, breast cancer, the most common form of the disease. Studies completed to date indicate that the compound has the potential for use as a single agent or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of breast cancer.
Additional information on the clinical trial program of elacestrant (RAD1901) is available on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About RAD140
RAD140 is a non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). The androgen receptor (AR) is frequently expressed in many estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, ER-negative, and triple-negative breast cancers. Because of its receptor and tissue selectivity, potent activity, oral bioavailability, and long half-life, RAD140 could have clinical potential in the treatment of breast cancer. RAD140 resulted from an internal drug discovery program focused on the androgen receptor pathway, and exhibits a differentiated mechanism of action compared to ER-targeted therapy.
