INTRA-CELLULAR THERAPIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE
CAPLYTA supplemental new drug applications (sNDAs) for the treatment of bipolar depression are under review by the FDA, with a PDUFA target action date of December 17, 2021.
Second quarter CAPLYTA total prescriptions (TRx) increased 22% versus the previous quarter.
Total revenues for the second quarter were $20.0 million. CAPLYTA achieved net product revenues of $19.0 million for the second quarter.
Patient enrollment in Study 501, a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating lumateperone as an adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), has commenced.
NEW YORK, August 9, 2021 /GLOBE NEWSWIRE/ Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ITCI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided a corporate update.
We are pleased with our strong results in the second quarter. Our sNDAs for bipolar depression are under review by the FDA and our CAPLYTA strategy continues to make substantial progress with our commercialization in schizophrenia, along with our preparations for a potential label expansion into bipolar depression. We have initiated patient enrollment in our Phase 3 program in MDD and continue our programs studying other depressive disorders, said Dr. Sharon Mates, Chairman and CEO of Intra-Cellular Therapies.
Second Quarter Financial Highlights
| Total revenues were $20.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $1.9 million of total revenues for the second quarter of 2020. Net product revenues of CAPLYTA were $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $1.9 million in net product revenues of CAPLYTA for the same period in 2020. Net product revenues of CAPLYTA increased 22% from $15.6 million in the prior quarter. |
| Cost of product sales were $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. |
| Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $17.3 million, compared to $25.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in lumateperone clinical trial costs. |
| Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $69.9 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $41.4 million for the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily due to an increase in commercialization and marketing costs. |
| Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was $68.7 million compared to a net loss of $63.7 million for the second quarter of 2020. |
| Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investment securities totaled $556.2 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $658.8 million at December 31, 2020. |
COMMERCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
| Our hybrid commercialization model and our digital marketing initiatives continued to deliver consistent revenue and prescription growth despite COVID-19 disruptions. |
| Second quarter CAPLYTA results reflect continued prescription growth, increasing total prescriptions by 22% versus the first quarter of 2021. |
| CAPLYTA market access coverage is strong with greater than 95% of covered lives in both Medicare Part D and State Medicaid, the major payer channels in schizophrenia. Our LytaLink program continues to be highly competitive and effective in supporting prescribing physicians and eligible patients access to CAPLYTA. |
| Our bipolar depression launch preparations are on track. |
CLINICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Lumateperone:
| Bipolar Depression Program: The lumateperone sNDAs for the treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression) as monotherapy and as adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate are under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date is December 17, 2021 for these applications. |
2
| Adjunctive MDD program: Patient enrollment has commenced for Study 501, our Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating lumateperone 42 mg as an adjunctive therapy to antidepressants for the treatment of MDD. Patient enrollment in a second Phase 3 trial, Study 502, is anticipated to begin shortly. |
| Mixed Features program: Clinical conduct continues in Study 403 evaluating lumateperone 42 mg in patients with MDD and in patients with bipolar depression who exhibit mixed features. |
|
|
| Presentations: In the second quarter of 2021, presented at the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Meeting, the International Conference for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) Annual Meeting, and the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology. The presentations included results from Study 402, a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating lumateperone as adjunctive therapy in bipolar depression, analyses from Study 404 describing the efficacy results of patients with bipolar depression who exhibit mixed features, and the overall safety and tolerability profile of the bipolar depression monotherapy program. We also presented analyses from Study 303, our long-term safety schizophrenia study, evaluating the antidepressant effects of CAPLYTA in patients with schizophrenia with co-morbid depression. |
Other Programs:
| ITI-1284 program: We plan to initiate our program for the development of ITI-1284-ODT-SL for the treatment of behavioral disturbances in dementia in the second half of 2021, and plan additional studies in dementia-related psychosis and certain depressive disorders in the elderly in 2022. |
| Phosphodiesterase type I inhibitor (PDE1) program: Our PDE1 inhibitor program is focused on investigating the therapeutic potential of this mechanism of action across a variety of diseases, including neurological and cardiovascular diseases, as well as cancer. |
| A Phase 2 study evaluating lenrispodun (ITI-214) in Parkinsons disease is expected to commence in the second half of 2021. |
| Presented preclinical data describing the antitumor effects of PDE1 inhibitors when administered in conjunction with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting. We are currently evaluating our PDE1 inhibitors in other cancer models and developing potential biomarkers that may assist in the translation of these data to the treatment of human cancers. |
3
| ITI-333 program in opioid use disorder: Study ITI-333-001, a Phase 1 single ascending dose study evaluating the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ITI-333 in healthy volunteers, is ongoing. Results from this study are anticipated in the second half of 2021. |
| R&D day: The Company plans to host a virtual research and development (R&D) day focusing on our key pipeline programs later this year. |

Important Safety Information
Boxed Warning: Elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with antipsychotic drugs are at an increased risk of death. CAPLYTA is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis.
Contraindications: CAPLYTA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lumateperone or any components of CAPLYTA. Reactions have included pruritus, rash (e.g., allergic dermatitis, papular rash, and generalized rash), and urticaria.
Warnings & Precautions: Antipsychotic drugs have been reported to cause:
| Cerebrovascular Adverse Reactions in Elderly Patients with Dementia-Related Psychosis, including stroke and transient ischemic attack. See Boxed Warning above. |
| Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), which is a potentially fatal reaction. Signs and symptoms include: high fever, stiff muscles, confusion, changes in breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, elevated creatinine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (and/or rhabdomyolysis), and acute renal failure. Patients who experience signs and symptoms of NMS should immediately contact their doctor or go to the emergency room. |
| Tardive Dyskinesia, a syndrome of uncontrolled body movements in the face, tongue, or other body parts, which may increase with duration of treatment and total cumulative dose. TD may not go away, even if CAPLYTA is discontinued. It can also occur after CAPLYTA is discontinued. |
4
| Metabolic Changes, including hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and weight gain. Hyperglycemia, in some cases extreme and associated with ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma or death, has been reported in patients treated with antipsychotics. Measure weight and assess fasting plasma glucose and lipids when initiating CAPLYTA and monitor periodically during long-term treatment. |
| Leukopenia, Neutropenia, and Agranulocytosis (including fatal cases). Complete blood counts should be performed in patients with pre-existing low white blood cell count (WBC) or history of leukopenia or neutropenia. CAPLYTA should be discontinued if clinically significant decline in WBC occurs in absence of other causative factors. |
| Decreased Blood Pressure & Dizziness. Patients may feel lightheaded, dizzy or faint when they rise too quickly from a sitting or lying position (orthostatic hypotension). Heart rate and blood pressure should be monitored and patients should be warned with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. Orthostatic vital signs should be monitored in patients who are vulnerable to hypotension. |
| Falls. CAPLYTA may cause sleepiness or dizziness and can slow thinking and motor skills, which may lead to falls and, consequently, fractures and other injuries. Patients should be assessed for risk when using CAPLYTA. |
| Seizures. CAPLYTA should be used cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or with conditions that lower seizure threshold. |
| Sleepiness and Trouble Concentrating. Patients should use caution when operating machinery or motor vehicles until they know how CAPLYTA affects them. |
| Body Temperature Dysregulation. CAPLYTA should be used with caution in patients who may experience conditions that may increase core body temperature such as strenuous exercise, extreme heat, dehydration, or concomitant anticholinergics. |
| Dysphagia. CAPLYTA should be used with caution in patients at risk for aspiration. |
Drug Interactions: CAPLYTA should not be used with CYP3A4 inducers, moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and UGT inhibitors.
Special Populations: Newborn infants exposed to antipsychotic drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy are at risk for extrapyramidal and/or withdrawal symptoms following delivery. Breastfeeding is not recommended. Use of CAPLYTA should be avoided in patients with moderate or severe liver problems.
Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions in clinical trials with CAPLYTA vs. placebo were somnolence/sedation (24% vs. 10%) and dry mouth (6% vs. 2%).

About CAPLYTA (lumateperone)
CAPLYTA 42mg/day is an oral, once daily atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of schizophrenia of adults. While the mechanism of action of CAPLYTA in the treatment of schizophrenia is unknown, the efficacy of CAPLYTA could be mediated through a combination of antagonist activity at central serotonin 5-HT2A receptors and postsynaptic antagonist activity at central dopamine D2 receptors.
5
Lumateperone is being investigated for the treatment of bipolar depression, depression and other neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. CAPLYTA is not FDA approved for these disorders.
