EB612 Hypoparathyroidism Successful Phase 2a Data Published in the First Quarter of 2021: Entera is currently working on an improved formulation of EB612 and is designing its next clinical trial. EB612 has Orphan Drug status with both FDA and the European Medicines Agency for Hypoparathyroidism.

Technology Platform IP Expansion and MTAs: Entera filed multiple U.S. patent applications this quarter to expand its patent protection and support future developments as it continues to optimize its oral delivery platform. Furthermore, Entera continues to evaluate establishing material transfer agreements with potential strategic partners’ proprietary molecules.

“We remain excited with our campaign to commence the pivotal Phase 3 trial for EB613 as there is a tremendous opportunity to be the first oral, once-a-day bone building osteoporosis treatment,” commented Spiros Jamas, Chief Executive Officer of Entera Bio. “This quarter we made improvements to our oral delivery platform, ultimately strengthening our intellectual property protection as Entera heads into strategic partnership discussions. Furthermore, we are currently seeing promising preclinical results in connection with our partnerships under ongoing material transfer agreements. Entera remains focused on developing and improving its platform technology, and we continue to progress our clinical programs with our goal to address the need for oral delivery of large molecules.”

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $68,000 compared to $157,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, with revenues in both years attributable to R&D services provided to Amgen. The cost of revenues for quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $54,000 and $73,000, respectively, and were comprised of salaries and related expenses in connection with the R&D services provided to Amgen.

Total operating expenses were $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Entera’s operating loss was $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $ 0.6 million was primarily due to an increase in materials, production costs and pre-clinical activity as part of the preparation for our Phase 3 clinical trial for EB613, employee's compensation, including share-based compensation and professional and consulting expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $0.9 million was mainly due to increases in share-based compensation granted to non-executive directors, professional fees and D&O insurance.

Net loss was $3.8 million, or $0.13 per ordinary share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.10 per ordinary share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, Entera had cash and cash equivalents of $20.1 million, compared to $24.9 million as of December 31, 2021.

Entera expects that the current cash is sufficient to fund the operations into the fourth quarter of 2022.

About Entera Bio
Entera is a leader in the development of orally delivered large molecule therapeutics for use in areas with significant unmet medical need where adoption of injectable therapies is limited due to cost, convenience and compliance challenges for patients. The Company’s proprietary, oral drug delivery technology is designed to address the technical challenges of poor absorption, high variability, and the inability to deliver large molecules to the targeted location in the body through the use of a synthetic absorption enhancer to facilitate the absorption of large molecules, and protease inhibitors to prevent enzymatic degradation and support delivery to targeted tissues. The Company’s most advanced product candidates, EB613 for the treatment of osteoporosis and EB612 for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism are in clinical development. The Company recently completed the phase 2 study for EB613. Entera also licenses its technology to biopharmaceutical companies for use with their proprietary compounds and, to date, has established a collaboration with Amgen Inc.
