MacroGenics and EVERSANA Announce Agreement to Support the Potential Launch and Commercialization of Margetuximab

  • MacroGenics accesses EVERSANA’s full suite of commercial services for which both parties share expenses
  • EVERSANA may earn revenue share payments over five years subject to predefined cap
  • MacroGenics’ projected cash runway remains into 2023

ROCKVILLE, MD and CHICAGO, IL, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  

MacroGenics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGNX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, today announced that it has partnered with EVERSANA, a pioneer of next-generation commercial services to the global life sciences industry, to commercialize margetuximab in the United States, if approved.

Margetuximab is an investigational, monoclonal antibody derived from MacroGenics’ proprietary Fc-Optimization technology platform. A Biologics License Application (BLA) for margetuximab for the treatment of patients with pre-treated metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer in combination with chemotherapy is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of December 18, 2020.

“We believe that margetuximab, if approved, could become a valuable treatment option for patients living with this devastating disease,” said Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of MacroGenics. “We are excited to partner with EVERSANA and leverage their integrated commercial services to efficiently launch margetuximab. We have been working closely with EVERSANA to fully align our commercialization strategies to educate healthcare providers and ensure patient access to margetuximab, while maintaining MacroGenics’ cash runway to fund our broader portfolio.”

Jim Lang, CEO of EVERSANA, added, “We’ve built a suite of comprehensive commercial services for biopharmaceutical innovators like MacroGenics and look forward to entering this risk-sharing arrangement with MacroGenics to support the commercialization of margetuximab, if approved. Our partnership with MacroGenics puts the patient first by supporting broad market access and comprehensive patient support services. We will work closely with MacroGenics on each stage of the product launch and roll-out.”

Under the terms of the agreement, MacroGenics maintains ownership of margetuximab, including all manufacturing, regulatory and development responsibilities for the product. This includes MacroGenics’ continued development of margetuximab in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in gastroesophageal cancer in the Phase 2/3 MAHOGANY study, as well as other ongoing studies. EVERSANA receives a co-exclusive right to conduct approved commercialization activities. EVERSANA will utilize its internal capabilities to support sales and marketing, market access, channel management services, data and analytics, medical affairs, and other patient access related services.  MacroGenics will book sales for margetuximab.  Upon the potential approval of margetuximab, EVERSANA and MacroGenics will equally share in funding EVERSANA’s commercialization expenses. In exchange for co-funding these expenses, EVERSANA will earn future revenue share payments which shall be capped at 125% of EVERSANA’s cumulative service fees. The term of the agreement is five years following the date of FDA approval, subject to predefined termination provisions.

About HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a protein found on the surface of some cancer cells that promotes growth and is associated with aggressive disease and poor prognosis. Approximately 15-20% of breast cancer cases are HER2-positive. Antibody-based therapies targeting HER2 have greatly improved outcomes of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and are now standard of care in both early-and late-stage disease. However, metastatic breast cancer remains an area of unmet need and ongoing HER2 blockade is recommended for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory disease.

About Margetuximab

Margetuximab is an Fc-engineered, monoclonal antibody that targets the HER2 oncoprotein. HER2 is expressed by tumor cells in breast, gastroesophageal and other solid tumors. Margetuximab was designed to provide HER2 blockade and has similar HER2 binding and antiproliferative effects as trastuzumab. In addition, margetuximab has been engineered to enhance the engagement of the immune system through MacroGenics’ Fc Optimization technology. Margetuximab is also being evaluated in combination with checkpoint blockade in the Phase 2/3 MAHOGANY trial for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer (NCT04082364), and in combination with tebotelimab (PD-1 × LAG-3 bispecific DART® molecule) in various HER2+ indications (NCT03219268). For more information, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.

About MacroGenics, Inc.

MacroGenics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The Company generates its pipeline of product candidates primarily from its proprietary suite of next-generation antibody-based technology platforms, which have applicability across broad therapeutic domains.

IGNITE Files Q3 2020 Financial Statements and MD&A

VAUGHAN, Ontario, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IGNITE International Brands, Ltd. (CSE:BILZ, OTCQX: BILZF) (“IGNITE” or the “Company”), a global consumer packaged goods brand, announces that the Company filed its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020, interim MD&A for the same period and accompanying certificates (collectively, the “Interim Filings”) today. The Interim Filings have been filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval and may be viewed by shareholders and interested parties under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

In the third quarter, the Company went through a major restructuring after terminating and replacing its President in June 2020. During this period, IGNITE made a number of management changes and significantly reduced non-revenue generating expenses. As a result, the loss from operations was reduced from $12.3 million in the third quarter 2019, to $1.1 million in the third quarter 2020. “Costs were brought under control in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, Management has turned its full attention to sales,” said John Schaefer, the Company’s President and COO.

Dan Bilzerian, the Company’s CEO, noted, “The Company, which is in its early growth stage, faced the customary challenges in trying to find the right management and the right partners to meet consumer demand and bring IGNITE’s high quality, innovative products to market. Underperforming partners in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom have been replaced; the Company has retaken control of distribution in the United States; and agreements with new distribution partners in the United States, Australia and other countries have been executed, which we expect to pave the way for sustained growth and profitability. As a result of these changes, management expects the revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 to exceed the revenue for all three prior quarters in 2020, and for Ignite to report its first profitable quarter in the fourth quarter 2020. This will position IGNITE to finally start to realize its great potential in 2021, which we expect to be an exciting year for the Company.”

Royal Farms Launches New Coffee Brewing System

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Royal Farms today announced a new “Bean-to-Cup” brewing system now available at each of the convenience store chain’s 240 store locations throughout Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey.

Royal Farms’ new Swiss-made coffee brewing system provides customers with the freshest cup of hot or iced coffee every time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Unlike drip coffee or coffee dispensed from an air pot that is sold at other chains, Royal Farms’ new brewing process lets customers enjoy a hot, fresh cup of coffee made from perfectly roasted Arabica coffee beans that are ground just seconds before brewing.

Customers may choose from a wide variety of coffees such as 100% Colombian, Royal Farms Gourmet blend, Brazilian Dark Roast, Jamaican Blue Mountain, Hazelnut, French Vanilla and more, each brewed on-the-spot one cup at a time.

“Each cup is consistent, so there’s never a reason for our customers to be concerned about the quality of the coffee they are purchasing, “ said John Kemp, president of Royal Farms. “We wanted to give our customers the best coffee experience and our new coffee brewing system does that for them.” he added.

Royal Farms’ new coffee machines also brew iced coffee that is actually a different way to brew coffee altogether. The process starts with more coffee per brew cycle and the coffee is cooled down before it is dispensed into the cup to help reduce ice melt. The result is the perfect, smooth and refreshing iced coffee that is the ultimate in freshness.

Both the hot coffee and the iced coffee are pressure-brewed, a method by which fresh whole beans are ground instantly, lightly packed in a chamber, sealed and brewed under the ideal amount of pressure to make the freshest cup of coffee possible.

The foam or “crema” that appears at the top of the just-brewed coffee is the single best indicator that the coffee is fresh. Foam is created, when the coffee that is brewed under the perfect amount of pressure, is released from the pressure, and expands causing the foam or “crema”.


About Royal Farms:

Skylight Health Reports Q3 Results Achieving Consecutive Quarter and YTD Positive Adjusted EBITDA

  • Gross revenues of $3.3 million with a robust gross margin of 71%. Revenue does not include contribution from recently announced acquisitions.
  • Adjusted EBITDA earnings of $331,122, representing its second consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA profitability of $108,894 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.87 million in YTD Q3 2019.
  • Subsequent to the quarter end, extinguished all long-term debt and strengthened its balance sheet with approximately $10 million of cash.

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Skylight Health Group Inc. (formerly CB2 Insights) (CSE:SHG; OTCQB: CBIIF) (“Skylight Health” or the “Company”), one of the largest multi-specialty healthcare systems in the United States, today reported its earnings for fiscal Q3 2020 for the period ended September 30, 2020. Additional information regarding the Company, including its interim financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), can be found at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website (www.skylighthealthgroup.com). All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Following an industry-wide initial reduction of visits in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Skylight Health has continued to see growth in patient visits and registrations, while ongoing improvements to its business model and operating structure have led to reduced costs for delivery of services. The implementation of a telemedicine offering has created opportunities to further reduce the cost of healthcare delivery with lower overheads, higher margins, and improved availability for patients.

The Company expects that virtual care including telemedicine will remain a key delivery model within its growth plan. The Company continues its expansion through the US both organically and by way of acquisition with two new states added in October and November 2020 and a third acquisition announced to close in early 2021. Collectively, the 3 acquisitions are expected to contribute $5 million in annualized revenue and $1 million in annualized EBITDA to the current run rate. As of November 27th, 2020, the Company has CA$10 million in cash on its balance sheet and is focused on its 3-pronged growth strategy including the expansion of insurable services to its current patient roster, subscription for the un/underinsured and accretive acquisitions.

Prad Sekar, Chief Executive Officer of Skylight Health Group stated “We are excited to see the continued efforts of our team and commitment to patient care result in a second consecutive Adjusted EBITDA positive quarter and,for the first time in our company’s history, a full nine months of positive Adjusted EBITDA.We have continued to execute against our business plan, strengthen our management team and create programs that will ultimately delight our patients and optimize their health outcomes. Further we are beyond thrilled to be operating under our name Skylight Health Group and the opportunities it represents for us and our stakeholders in the years to come.

Mr. Sekar continued, “During our last earnings call in August 2020 we stated that it was time for us to go on the offensive. I am proud to say that we are doing just that. We look forward to executing against our business plan and bringing real value to all our stakeholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Press Release contains references to Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Margin. These financial measures are not measures that have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures used by the corporation may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as “income (loss) before interest expenses, taxes, expenses related to listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange, depreciation, foreign exchange and financial expenses.

The Company uses these non-GAAP measures because they provide additional information on the performance of its commercial operations. Such tools are frequently used in the business world to analyze and compare the performance of businesses; however, the Company’s definition of these metrics may differ from those of other businesses. Skylight Health will, at times, use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide readers with additional information in order to assist investors in understanding our financial and operating performance.  Skylight Health believes that these non-GAAP measures provide readers with useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of share-based compensation expenses and related payroll taxes as well as removes substantial one-time costs for unusual business activities. Additional discussion on this can be found in the Skylight Health Management Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR.

Such non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. See the Company’s audited Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.

K12 Inc. (LRN) Misled Shareholders About its Ability to Support Online Learning During the Pandemic

According to the complaint, following the nationwide closure of schools due to COVID 19, K12 and its officers and directors disseminated false and misleading statements touting the viability of the Company’s online platforms, cybersecurity protocols, preparedness for large volumes of students, and its ability to support and train students, parents, and teachers. Based on these misstatements, the price of K12 shares rose to an all-time high of $51.60 on August 5, 2020. In reality, however, K12 did not have the technological capabilities to support and service the massive increase in traffic on its website and learning platforms. When news of K12’s deficiencies were revealed, the price of its stock began to decline. The stock fell 7% on August 27, 2020, when Miami-Dade County teachers reported K12’s training was ineffective and “unacceptable.” On September 3, after Miami-Dade County experienced significant technical difficulties and revealed that the superintendent never signed the $15.3 billion contract with K12, the stock fell over 10.5%. The stock fell another 11.5% on September 10, after the Miami-Dade County Public School Board voted to terminate its K12 contract. Finally, Beaufort County School District also terminated its contact with K12, causing the stock to decline nearly 5% on September 18, 2020.

If you purchased K12 Inc. (LRN) securities between April 27, 2020 and September 18, 2020, you have until January 19, 2021, to ask the court to appoint you lead plaintiff for the class.
