Medexus Expects Record Revenue for Fiscal Q3 2023 and Provides Business Update

TORONTO and CHICAGO, Jan. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medexus Pharmaceuticals (Medexus) (TSX: MDP) (OTCQX: MEDXF) is pleased to announce preliminary estimates of the company’s revenue results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 (the company’s fiscal Q3 2023) and provide additional business updates to shareholders and other stakeholders. All dollar amounts in this press release are in US dollars unless specified otherwise.

Preliminary revenue estimates for fiscal Q3 2023

Medexus expects to deliver total revenue between $28.5 million and $29.0 million in fiscal Q3 2023. This will represent another record quarter of revenue for Medexus, and a year-over-year increase of at least 34% and a quarter-over-quarter increase of at least 3%.

Primary drivers for the most recent quarter’s improved revenue performance were increases in net sales across Medexus’s portfolio. Medexus expects key highlights to include the following –

  • IXINITY: Positive trend in sales, reflecting new patient conversions on top of a stable, existing base of patients.
  • Rasuvo: Continued strong performance and maintenance of the product’s leading position in the moderately-growing US branded methotrexate market with a limited sales force allocation.
  • Rupall: Continued strong demand exhibiting typical seasonality as compared to fiscal Q2 2023, reflecting successful execution of the company’s sales and marketing initiatives and sustaining the product’s strong performance over the five years since launch.
  • Gleolan: Continued positive trend in US sales, positioning Medexus to successfully execute its post-transition commercial plan including new sales and marketing initiatives.

The expected results discussed in this press release are preliminary estimates, as Medexus’s financial closing procedures remain subject to completion, and have not been reviewed by the company’s auditors. Accordingly, the final reported results may diverge from these estimates.

Updates on treosulfan and current business strategy

Since Medexus’s last update in November 2022, medac, as the party responsible for regulatory matters under Medexus’s license agreement for treosulfan, has continued to engage with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding medac’s resubmission of its new drug application for treosulfan (NDA). medac’s engagement has primarily focused on establishing the most appropriate approach to addressing the remaining items noted in FDA’s second notice of incomplete response delivered to medac in September 2022. The FDA continues to seek supporting information from medac relating to the pivotal phase 3 clinical trial of treosulfan conducted by medac.

Based on Medexus’s assessment of the FDA’s feedback and discussions with medac, Medexus now expects that it would take medac up to a year or more to collect and submit the information requested by the FDA. The FDA would then evaluate the completeness of the available information submitted and medac’s response and, if considered to be complete, then proceed to review medac’s NDA resubmission. The FDA has made clear in its communications to medac that FDA review will not progress further unless and until medac collects this supporting information and otherwise responds to the FDA’s remaining requests.

Medexus believes that treosulfan would make a substantial difference for US patients and therefore continues to urge medac to take the steps necessary to respond to the FDA’s requests in a timely and complete fashion and fulfill medac’s obligations under the terms of the treosulfan license agreement to pursue all commercially viable paths to completing the NDA resubmission. In the meantime, Medexus remains focused on commercializing the company’s current product portfolio and seeking out additional complementary product opportunities that leverage the company’s existing commercial platform. Medexus will continue seeking to deliver strong financial results for the company and its investors by pursuing this strategy in the near term.
