NewAmsterdam Pharma Provides Corporate Update and Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

–European marketing authorization application on track in 2H25 – – PREVAIL Phase 3 CVOT remains on track – – Late Breaking BROADWAY and TANDEM data presented at EAS 2025 and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine (BROADWAY) and The Lancet (TANDEM) – – BROADWAY Alzheimer’s disease analysis presented at AAIC 2025 showed obicetrapib significantly reduced plasma p-tau217 levels versus placebo in both the full analysis set and in ApoE4 carriers, over 12 months, with favorable trends observed in additional Alzheimer’s biomarkers – NAARDEN, The Netherlands and MIAMI, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (Nasdaq: NAMS or “NewAmsterdam” or the “Company”), a late-stage, clinical biopharmaceutical company developing oral, non-statin medicines for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”), for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provided a corporate update. “Fueled by strong momentum in the first half of 2025, obicetrapib is rapidly advancing towards patients worldwide, potentially addressing the urgent need for additional cardiovascular disease treatment options,” said Michael Davidson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of NewAmsterdam. “We continue to see compelling data from our Phase 3 studies, not only reinforcing obicetrapib’s observed lipoprotein modifying properties including robust LDL-C reduction but also suggesting a potential role in reducing neurodegenerative risk. Most recently, we announced positive data from a prespecified Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) biomarker analysis in the BROADWAY trial. Over a 12-month period, key plasma markers associated with Alzheimer’s pathology were observed to be lower in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”) who received obicetrapib compared to those who received placebo. These findings point to the possibility that obicetrapib may address the converging pathways of cardiovascular and neurovascular disease with a single, oral therapy.” “We are also expanding our clinical program with the launch of the Phase 3 RUBENS trial planned for later this year, which will evaluate obicetrapib in combination with ezetimibe in patients with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome that require additional lowering of LDL-C despite treatment with available therapy. In parallel, we are focused on building out our commercial capabilities to support the potential launch of obicetrapib, if approved,” continued Dr. Davidson. “On the regulatory front, our EMA application through our partner Menarini remains on track. With a solid foundation and strong balance sheet, we believe we are well-positioned to create long-term value for our stakeholders and deliver a novel, first-in-class LDL-C lowering therapy to millions of patients worldwide.” Clinical Development Updates NewAmsterdam is developing obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily cholesteryl ester transfer protein (“CETP”) inhibitor, as the preferred LDL-C lowering therapy to be used in patients at risk of CVD for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated. In May 2025, NewAmsterdam presented late-breaking data from the BROADWAY and TANDEM pivotal trials at the European Atherosclerosis Society Congress, with simultaneous publications in The New England Journal of Medicine (BROADWAY) and The Lancet (TANDEM).In June 2025, NewAmsterdam announced positive topline data from the prespecified AD biomarker analysis in the BROADWAY clinical trial. The pre-specified analysis was conducted to assess the effect of obicetrapib on plasma biomarkers of AD in both the full analysis set and in patients carrying the apolipoprotein E4 (“ApoE4”) gene, based on phenotypic analysis. NewAmsterdam observed statistically significant reductions in p-tau217, a key biomarker of AD pathology, in both the full analysis set (p<0.002, n=1,515) and in ApoE4 carriers (p=0.0215, n=367), which NewAmsterdam believes support an emerging link between CETP-inhibition and neurodegeneration. In July 2025, NewAmsterdam announced additional results from the prespecified AD biomarker analysis in the BROADWAY trial, presented at the 2025 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (“AAIC”), which NewAmsterdam believes further support the potential of obicetrapib to modify key biomarkers of AD pathology over a 12-month period in patients with ASCVD. In ApoE4/E4 carriers, the highest risk category for Alzheimer’s disease, obicetrapib was observed to reduce p-tau217 levels by 20.5%, over 12 months, compared to placebo (p=0.010, n=29). Upcoming Milestones and Ongoing Trials: Following the successful completion and positive topline results of the Phase 3 BROADWAY, TANDEM, and BROOKLYN trials, NewAmsterdam plans to announce additional data from these trials over the course of 2025 relating to obicetrapib and the fixed-dose combination (“FDC”) of obicetrapib plus ezetimibe. The following Phase 3 trials are currently ongoing: PREVAIL Phase 3 trial: PREVAIL is a cardiovascular outcomes trial (“CVOT”) evaluating obicetrapib in patients with a history of ASCVD, whose LDL-C is not adequately controlled despite being on maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy. NewAmsterdam completed enrollment of over 9,500 patients in April 2024.REMBRANDT Phase 3 trial: The trial will utilize coronary computed tomography angiography imaging to evaluate the effect of obicetrapib plus ezetimibe FDC on coronary plaque. The placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, Phase 3 trial is being conducted in adult participants with high-risk ASCVD with evidence of coronary plaque who are not adequately controlled by their maximally tolerated lipid-modifying therapy, to assess the impact of the obicetrapib 10 mg plus ezetimibe 10 mg FDC daily on coronary plaque and inflammation characteristics. The study is expected to enroll 300 patients. Corporate Updates In June 2025, NewAmsterdam hosted an R&D Day event featuring presentations from Company management to discuss obicetrapib’s clinical development path and NewAmsterdam’s plans for commercial readiness and strategy.In July 2025, NewAmsterdam hosted a conference call at AAIC 2025, featuring a discussion with both key opinion leaders and Company management to discuss the results from the prespecified AD biomarker analysis in the BROADWAY trial. Second Quarter Financial Results Cash Position: As of June 30, 2025, NewAmsterdam recorded cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $783.3 million, compared to $834.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by ongoing operating expenditures.Revenue: NewAmsterdam recognized $19.1 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.3 million in the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of $16.1 million of revenue related to the second installment of development cost contributions under the license agreement with Menarini.Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses: R&D expenses were $27.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $38.4 million for the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in clinical expenses, partially offset by an increase in personnel expenses, including share-based compensation, non-clinical expenses related to pipeline expansion and product lifecycle management, and regulatory expenses primarily driven by the preparation and planned submission of regulatory applications for obicetrapib. Share-based payment expenses included with R&D expenses totaled $5.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2024.Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses: SG&A expenses were $27.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs, including share-based compensation, investments in marketing and communications capabilities to support the Company's planned commercial launch of obicetrapib, if approved, and an increase in costs related to the Company's intellectual property primarily driven by worldwide patent filings. Share-based payment expenses included with SG&A expenses totaled $10.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2024.Net loss: Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $17.4 million, compared to net loss of $39.0 million for the same period in 2024. The individual components of the change are described above in addition to non-cash losses related to changes in the fair value of our derivative liabilities. About Obicetrapib Obicetrapib is a novel, oral, low-dose CETP inhibitor that NewAmsterdam is developing to overcome the limitations of current LDL-lowering treatments. In each of the Company’s Phase 2 trials, ROSE2, TULIP, ROSE, and OCEAN, as well as the Company’s Phase 3 BROOKLYN, BROADWAY and TANDEM trials, evaluating obicetrapib as monotherapy or combination therapy, the Company observed statistically significant LDL-lowering combined with a side effect profile similar to that of placebo. The Company commenced the Phase 3 PREVAIL cardiovascular outcomes trial in March 2022, which is designed to assess the potential of obicetrapib to reduce occurrences of MACE. The Company completed enrollment of PREVAIL in April 2024 and randomized over 9,500 patients. Commercialization rights of obicetrapib in Europe, either as a monotherapy or as part of a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, have been exclusively granted to the Menarini Group, an Italy-based, leading international pharmaceutical and diagnostics company. About Cardiovascular Disease Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally, despite the availability of lipid-lowering therapies (“LLTs”). By 2050 more than 184 million U.S. adults are expected to be affected by CVD and hypertension, including 27 million with coronary heart disease and 19 million with stroke. In the United States from 2019 through 2022, CVD age-adjusted mortality rates increased by 9%, reversing the trend observed since 2010 and undoing nearly a decade of progress. Despite the availability of high-intensity statins and non-statin LLTs, LDL-C target level attainment remains low, contributing to residual cardiovascular risk, and underscoring a significant clinical need for improved therapeutic regimens. Even with 269 million LLT prescriptions written over the last 12 months, 30 million under-treated US adults are not at their risk-based LDL-C goal, of which 13 million have ASCVD. Less than 1 in 4 patients with ASCVD achieve an LDL-C goal of less than 70 mg/dL and only 10% of very high risk ASCVD patients achieve the goal below 55 mg/dL. In addition to the 30 million under-treated U.S. adults, there are 10 million patients diagnosed with elevated LDL-C who are not taking any LLTs including statins. Beyond LDL-C, additional factors are at play, such as lifestyle choices, tobacco use, and obesity, as well as inflammation, thrombosis, triglyceride levels, elevated Lp(a) levels, and type 2 diabetes. Alzheimer’s Analysis In BROADWAY, a pre-specified analysis was designed to assess plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”) in patients enrolled in the BROADWAY trial and evaluated the effects of longer duration of therapy (12 months) with a prespecified population of ApoE3/4 or 4/4 carriers, based on phenotypic analysis. The analysis included 1,727 patients, including 367 ApoE4 carriers, whose ApoE status was able to be determined. Because this analysis was based on a subset of patients from BROADWAY (which was designed to evaluate LDL-C reductions in an ASCVD and/or HeFH population), the AD analysis was not controlled for baseline differences between the treatment and placebo populations. The absolute and percent change over 12 months in p-tau217, a key biomarker of AD pathology, was measured among patients with baseline and end of study datapoints above the lower limit of quantitation. Additional outcome measures included NFL, GFAP, p-tau181, and Aβ42/40 ratio absolute and percent change over 12 months. NewAmsterdam observed statistically significant lower absolute changes in p-tau217 compared to placebo over 12 months in both the full analysis set (p=0.0019; n= 1,515) and in ApoE4 carriers (p=0.0215; n=367) as well as favorable trends in the other AD biomarkers. Although a safety analysis was not performed in the AD study population, in BROADWAY obicetrapib was observed to be well-tolerated, with safety results comparable to placebo. About NewAmsterdam NewAmsterdam Pharma (Nasdaq: NAMS) is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with metabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. The Company seeks to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well-tolerated and convenient LDL-lowering therapy. In multiple Phase 3 trials, NewAmsterdam is investigating obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily CETP inhibitor, alone or as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as LDL-C lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to statin therapy for patients at risk of CVD with elevated LDL-C, for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well tolerated.
