Apellis Pharmaceuticals and Sobi have announced positive one-year results from the Phase 2 NOBLE study on systemic pegcetacoplan for treating post-transplant recurrence of C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and IC-MPGN. The study, presented at the ERA Congress, showed rapid reduction of disease activity at 12 weeks, sustained over a year.
Of the 11 patients treated, 55% showed zero C3c staining intensity, indicating clearance of C3c deposits, and 64% showed zero inflammation. Additionally, the treatment led to sustained improvements in proteinuria and kidney function stabilization. Pegcetacoplan was generally well-tolerated with mostly mild to moderate adverse events. The ongoing Phase 3 VALIANT study will further evaluate pegcetacoplan’s potential, with results expected later this year.
Apellis Pharmaceuticals announced a new non-dilutive senior secured credit facility with Sixth Street for up to $475 million, with $375 million received at closing. Apellis can access an additional $100 million before September 2025 under certain conditions and another $100 million through a third-party working capital facility. The majority of the proceeds will buy out a $326 million development liability to SFJ Pharmaceuticals, eliminating $366 million in payments through 2027. This improves Apellis' liquidity without needing additional capital markets funding. The credit facility matures in 2030 with a 3-month SOFR + 5.75% interest rate and is secured by Apellis' assets. As of March 31, 2024, Apellis had $325.9 million in cash and equivalents.
Apellis Pharmaceuticals reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2024, with $172.3 million in revenues, driven by SYFOVRE and EMPAVELI sales.
