Apogee Therapeutics reports Q4 net loss $31.7M vs. $14M last year

Net loss increased primarily as a result of higher R&D and G&A operating expenses, partially offset by higher interest income. Expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $395.5M will enable the company to fund its operating expenses into 4Q 2026. “2023 was a momentous year for Apogee with the completion of a successful IPO, initiation of our first clinical program of APG777 in healthy volunteers and the nomination of our second pipeline candidate, APG808,” said CEO Michael Henderson. “Our momentum and track record of execution have continued in 2024, and we were thrilled to disclose positive interim results from our Phase 1 trial of APG777 today, which demonstrated a favorable safety profile and exceeded our trial objectives on both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This data readout is a key risk-reducing milestone for our APG777 program and pipeline and supports a path forward into a Phase 2 trial for APG777 in patients with AD in the first half of this year. Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we continue to make progress with APG808, for which we are set to start a Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial ahead of schedule while advancing our earlier programs, APG990 and APG222. With each of our programs, we have the potential to reshape the standard of care with potential best-in-class or first-in-class therapeutic candidates for I&I diseases.”
