CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, today reported its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, and company highlights.

"While we continue to fund our platform and clinical pipeline, we again achieved significant revenues this quarter, which includes the recent payment from Regulus related to the sanofi-aventis alliance"

aThese are exciting times for RNAi therapeutics, as the field stands at the frontier of key human proof-of-concept data across a number of programs, providing further validation of RNAi therapeutics as a whole new class of innovative medicines. With this focus in mind, Alnylama™s second quarter was characterized by continued advancement of our clinical pipeline, in addition to our commitment to scientific leadership. Indeed, we made significant progress in these areas, including the presentation of preliminary data from our Phase I ALN-VSP study for liver cancer, the initiation of our Phase I ALN-TTR01 study for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), and continued enrollment of patients in our ALN-RSV01 Phase IIb study in RSV-infected adult lung transplant patients,a said John Maraganore, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Alnylam. aDuring the quarter, we also demonstrated our continued scientific leadership through the publication and presentation of our research at key meetings and in peer-reviewed journals. In fact, we have already published 19 papers this year, exceeding our goal of 15 or more papers by yeara™s end. We look forward to reporting on our progress across these key value drivers in the second half of 2010, including updated data on our ALN-VSP study, and continuing our focus on advancing RNAi therapeutics to patients.a

aWe also had an exciting quarter on the business front, including the landmark alliance between Regulus and sanofi-aventis on the development of microRNA therapeutics. Regulus is the leader in the development of microRNA therapeutics, and this new partnership - the third for Regulus - recognizes the high level of interest in this emerging area across the pharmaceutical industry,a said Barry Greene, President and Chief Operating Officer of Alnylam. aOur business development efforts continue related to our many partnership opportunities at Alnylam, Alnylam Biotherapeutics, and Regulus, in addition to new venture opportunities. Certainly, we believe that our industry-leading partnerships, intellectual property position, and financial stability continue to position Alnylam as the leader in the development of RNAi therapeutics, and we expect to only strengthen this position throughout the rest of the year.a

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Total Marketable Securities

At June 30, 2010, Alnylam had cash, cash equivalents and total marketable securities of $396.9 million, as compared to $435.3 million at December 31, 2009.

Net Loss

The net loss according to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for the second quarter of 2010 was $14.6 million, or $0.35 per share on both a basic and diluted basis (including $5.1 million, or $0.12 per share of non-cash stock-based compensation expense), as compared to a net loss of $22.7 million, or $0.55 per share on both a basic and diluted basis (including $5.4 million, or $0.13 per share of non-cash stock-based compensation expense), for the same period in the previous year. The decrease in net loss in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the prior year period was due primarily to $11.0 million in license fees paid in the prior year period in connection with the companya™s single-stranded RNAi (ssRNAi) agreement with Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Revenues

Revenues were $26.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to $24.6 million for the same period last year. Revenues for the second quarter of 2010 included $14.0 million of collaboration revenues related to the companya™s alliance with Roche, $5.5 million of revenues from the companya™s alliance with Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company Limited, $1.9 million of license fee revenues from Regulus Therapeutics Inc. related to the sanofi-aventis alliance, and $5.2 million of expense reimbursement and amortization revenues from Novartis, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Biogen Idec Inc., InterfeRxa", research reagent and services licenses, and other sources.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $28.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, which included $3.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation, as compared to $38.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, which included $3.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. The decrease in R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the prior year period was due primarily to $11.0 million in license fees paid in the prior year period in connection with the companya™s ssRNAi agreement with Isis, partially offset by an increase in compensation and related expenses due to additional R&D headcount to support the companya™s alliances and expanding product pipeline.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, which included $1.8 million of non-cash stock-based compensation, as compared to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, which included $2.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. The increase in G&A expenses for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the prior year period was due primarily to higher professional service fees in association with business activities, primarily legal activities.

Regulus Therapeutics

Equity in loss of joint venture was $3.9 million and $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to Alnylama™s approximate 49% share of the net losses incurred by Regulus. The increase in Regulusa™ net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was due to charges incurred for payments due to Alnylam and Isis related to the sanofi-aventis alliance established in June 2010.

Interest Income

Interest income was $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2009. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower average interest rates as well as lower average cash, cash equivalents and total marketable securities balances as compared to the prior year.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit was $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2009. The provision for income taxes for 2009 was due primarily to taxable income in 2009 as a result of the companya™s alliances with Roche and Takeda.

2010 Financial Guidance

Alnylam expects that its cash, cash equivalents and total marketable securities balance will be greater than $325 million at December 31, 2010, which excludes the potential payment from Novartis should they decide to execute their adoption license.

aWhile we continue to fund our platform and clinical pipeline, we again achieved significant revenues this quarter, which includes the recent payment from Regulus related to the sanofi-aventis alliance,a said Patricia Allen, Vice President, Finance and Treasurer of Alnylam. aWe remain on track to finish 2010 with an excellent balance sheet with greater than $325 million in cash, excluding the potential adoption license payment from Novartis.a

Second Quarter 2010 and Recent Significant Corporate Highlights

Product Pipeline and Scientific Leadership Highlights

  • Reported Preliminary Data from Phase I Trial of ALN-VSP for Treatment of Liver Cancer. Alnylam presented preliminary clinical data from its Phase I trial with ALN-VSP at the 2010 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. ALN-VSP is being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors with liver involvement. The study results from the initial 19 patients in the first four dose cohorts demonstrated that ALN-VSP is well tolerated in most patients; data also showed preliminary evidence of biological activity based on DCE-MRI measurements. This study has not yet reached maximum tolerated dose and is continuing to enroll patients and dose escalate. Alnylam also announced today the initiation of a dose extension study with ALN-VSP designed to enroll patients that have completed dosing cycles in the Phase I study and have been deemed to have stable disease or better.
  • Advanced ALN-TTR for Transthyretin (TTR)-Mediated Amyloidosis (ATTR) into Clinic. Alnylam initiated a blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose escalation Phase I study of ALN-TTR01. The study is being conducted in Portugal, Sweden, and the U.K., and is designed to enroll approximately 28 patients. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of intravenous ALN-TTR01, with patients being enrolled into sequential cohorts of increasing doses ranging from 0.01 to 0.4 mg/kg. Secondary objectives include characterization of plasma and urine pharmacokinetics of ALN-TTR01 and assessment of pharmacodynamic activity based on measurements of circulating TTR serum levels. In addition, Alnylam presented new pre-clinical data from its ATTR program at the XII International Symposium on Amyloidosis, which demonstrated that treatment with an RNAi therapeutic in an animal model can result in regression of pre-existing pathogenic TTR deposits in peripheral tissues. Additional pre-clinical data showed the potential application of TTR-specific siRNAs for the treatment of the ocular disease sequelae in ATTR.
  • Continued Clinical Development of ALN-RSV01 for Treatment of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Alnylam continued to enroll patients in its Phase IIb study of ALN-RSV01 in RSV-infected adult lung transplant patients. The study aims to enroll up to 76 patients in over 30 sites worldwide. The primary study endpoint is reduction in the incidence of new or progressive bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a life threatening complication of RSV infection and an irreversible disease of the transplanted lung, resulting in approximately 50% mortality within three to five years of onset.
  • Further Advanced Delivery of RNAi Therapeutics. In collaboration with the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics and AlCana Technologies, Inc., Alnylam published new research describing key mechanisms related to the systemic delivery of RNAi therapeutics using lipid nanoparticles (Akinc et al., Molecular Therapy, 18: 1357-1364, 2010). Alnylam also continued to extend key advances on systemic delivery of RNAi therapeutics published in late 2009 and early 2010 (Love et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. 107(5):1864-9, 2010 and Semple et al., Nature Biotechnology, 28: 172-178, 2010) stemming from its collaborations with scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), AlCana, Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and The University of British Columbia.
  • Continued Advancement of Alnylam Biotherapeutics to Improve Biologics Manufacturing. Alnylam Biotherapeutics, a division of Alnylam, presented new data at the IBC 6th Annual Cell Line Development and Engineering conference describing the discovery of novel delivery lipids (NDLs) that efficiently deliver siRNAs to manufacturing cell lines, resulting in potent and durable gene silencing activity with improved protein quality that has been scaled to at least 40 liters. In addition, Alnylam Biotherapeutics formed a Scientific Advisory Board to help advance its efforts in transforming the manufacturing of biotherapeutics with RNAi technology; members of this Board include Daniel Anderson, Ph.D., Charles Cooney, Ph.D., and Robert Langer, Ph.D.
  • Expanded Platform with RNAi Applications in Vaccine Research and Development. Alnylam consolidated key intellectual property and technology for RNAi applications in vaccine research and development by completing an exclusive option agreement with Mount Sinai School of Medicine and an exclusive license agreement with The University of Queensland. These new applications define opportunities for RNAi technologies in the advancement of novel vaccines in many human diseases, including infectious disease and cancer.
  • Continued Scientific Leadership. In addition to the publications and meetings noted above, Alnylam continued to demonstrate its scientific leadership through additional peer-reviewed publications and presentations, including:
    • new research describing the discovery of a novel class of virus-produced small non-coding RNAs, called small viral RNAs (svRNAs), which play a critical role in the replication of influenza A virus (Perez et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 107: 11525-11530, 2010);
    • new data demonstrating a novel mechanism whereby gene expression can be selectively regulated by anti-gene RNAs (agRNAs), double-stranded RNAs that target non-coding RNA sequences (Yue et al., Nature Chemical Biology, 10.1038/nchembio.400);
    • results from the companya™s experimental RSV infection model study in adult volunteers (DeVincenzo et al., Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., doi: 10.1164/rccm.201002-0221OC, 2010);

About RNA Interference (RNAi)

RNAi (RNA interference) is a revolution in biology, representing a breakthrough in understanding how genes are turned on and off in cells, and a completely new approach to drug discovery and development. Its discovery has been heralded as aa major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,a and represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug discovery today which was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. RNAi is a natural process of gene silencing that occurs in organisms ranging from plants to mammals. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, the creation of a major new class of medicines, known as RNAi therapeutics, is on the horizon. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylama™s RNAi therapeutic platform, target the cause of diseases by potently silencing specific mRNAs, thereby preventing disease-causing proteins from being made. RNAi therapeutics have the potential to treat disease and help patients in a fundamentally new way.
