Monjuvi® U.S. net product sales of US$ 23.4 million (€ 21.5 million) for the third quarter of 2023

U.S. FDA granted Fast Track designation for tulmimetostat in ARID1A-mutated endometrial cancer

€ 642.2 million in cash and other financial assets as of September 30, 2023

Conference call and webcast (in English) tomorrow, November 16, 2023, at 2:00 pm CET (1:00 pm GMT/8:00 am ET)

MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; NASDAQ: MOR) reports results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2023.

“With pelabresib, MorphoSys has the potential to meaningfully improve upon current first-line treatments for patients with myelofibrosis. We look forward to showcasing the topline results of our pivotal MANIFEST-2 study by the end of November and, shortly thereafter, in our detailed oral presentation at ASH 2023,” said Jean-Paul Kress, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of MorphoSys. “Sales of Monjuvi remain on track for its approved indication, allowing us to narrow our full-year 2023 guidance target. Our mid- to late-stage pipeline offers promising value-creating opportunities, with two additional pivotal studies expected to read out over the next two years.”

Monjuvi/Minjuvi® Highlights:

Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix) U.S. net product sales of US$ 23.4 million (€ 21.5 million) for the third quarter 2023 (Q3 2022: US$ 22.2 million (€ 21.9 million)) and US$ 67.8 million (€ 62.6 million) for first nine months 2023 (9M 2022: US$ 64.1 million (€ 60.2 million)).

Minjuvi royalty revenue of € 1.2 million for sales outside of the U.S. in the third quarter 2023 and € 4.1 million for the first nine months of 2023.

Conference Highlights:

Topline results from the Phase 3 MANIFEST-2 trial of pelabresib, an investigational BET inhibitor, in combination with the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor-naïve adult patients with myelofibrosis are expected by the end of November.

Following the release of the topline MANIFEST-2 study results, detailed findings from the study will be presented during an oral session on Sunday, December 10, 2023, at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in San Diego, USA. During ASH 2023, MorphoSys will host an in-person investor event with the company’s management team and medical experts to review the detailed study findings. The event, taking place on Monday, December 11, at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel, will start with a networking breakfast at 6:30 a.m. PST and continue with a formal presentation at 7:00 a.m. PST (10:00 a.m. EST / 4:00 p.m. CET). A webcast will also be available for those not attending the Annual Meeting in person, accessible on the Investors section of MorphoSys' website (www.morphosys.com).

Beyond the MANIFEST-2 study, seven additional abstracts on pelabresib and tafasitamab were accepted for presentation and publication at ASH 2023.

Tulmimetostat Highlight:

In September 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation for tulmimetostat, an investigational next-generation dual inhibitor of EZH2 and EZH1, for the treatment of patients with advanced, recurrent or metastatic endometrial cancer harboring AT-rich interacting domain containing protein 1A (ARID1A) mutations and who have progressed on at least one prior line of treatment.

Events After the End of the Third Quarter of 2023:

MorphoSys updated its financial guidance for 2023 financial year on October 25, 2023.

Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2023 (IFRS):

Total revenues for the third quarter 2023 were € 63.8 million compared to € 95.8 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease resulted from lower revenues from licenses compared to prior year.

Additional information related to 2023 Financial Guidance:

  • Tremfya® royalties will continue to be recorded as revenue without any cost of sales in MorphoSys’ income statement. These royalties, however, will not contribute any cash to MorphoSys, as 100% of the royalties will be passed on to Royalty Pharma.
  • MorphoSys anticipates receiving royalties for Minjuvi sales outside of the U.S.
  • MorphoSys does not anticipate any significant cash-accretive revenues from the achievement of milestones in 2023.
  • MorphoSys anticipates sales of commercial and clinical supply of tafasitamab outside of the U.S. to its partner Incyte. Revenue from this supply is recorded in the “Licenses, milestones and other” category in MorphoSys’ income statement. These sales result in a zero gross profit/margin. MorphoSys does not provide guidance for these sales.

Operational Outlook:

The following events and development activities are upcoming and planned for 2024 and beyond:

  • Topline results for the pivotal Phase 3 study (MANIFEST-2) of pelabresib in myelofibrosis (MF) are expected by the end of November;
  • Primary analysis data from the Phase 3 study (inMIND) of tafasitamab in patients with indolent lymphoma (r/r FL/MZL) in 2024;
  • Primary analysis data from the pivotal Phase 3 study (frontMIND) of tafasitamab in previously untreated DLBCL in the second half of 2025.

About Pelabresib

Pelabresib (CPI-0610) is an investigational selective small molecule designed to promote anti-tumor activity by inhibiting the function of bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins to decrease the expression of abnormally expressed genes in cancer. Pelabresib is being investigated as a treatment for myelofibrosis and has not yet been approved by any regulatory authorities. Its safety and efficacy have also not been established in a pivotal trial.

The development of pelabresib was funded in part by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society®.

About Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix)

Tafasitamab is a humanized Fc-modified CD19 targeting immunotherapy. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb® engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) and Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis (ADCP).

In the United States, Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s). Please see the U.S. full Prescribing Information for Monjuvi for important safety information.

In Europe, Minjuvi® (tafasitamab) received conditional marketing authorization in combination with lenalidomide, followed by Minjuvi monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Tafasitamab is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic option in B-cell malignancies in several ongoing combination trials.

Monjuvi® and Minjuvi® are registered trademarks of MorphoSys AG. Tafasitamab is co-marketed by Incyte and MorphoSys under the brand name Monjuvi® in the U.S., and marketed by Incyte under the brand name Minjuvi® in Europe and Canada.

XmAb® is a registered trademark of Xencor, Inc.

About Tulmimetostat

Tulmimetostat (CPI-0209) is an investigational compound designed to exert anti-tumor activity by inhibiting the function of enhancer of zeste homolog 1 and 2 (EZH2 and EZH1) proteins to reactivate silenced genes like tumor suppressor genes. Tulmimetostat is being tested as a once-daily oral treatment in a Phase 1/2 trial (NCT04104776) in patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas, including ARID1A-mutated ovarian clear cell carcinoma and endometrial carcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, BAP1-mutated mesothelioma and castration-resistant prostate cancer. The primary objectives of the trial include determining the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended Phase 2 dose and evaluating antitumor activity of tulmimetostat monotherapy. The safety and efficacy of tulmimetostat have not been established in a pivotal trial.
