RedHill’s Q416 results update showed steady progress with R&D activities and the company readying itself for commercialisation in the US, following the recently announced co-promotion deal for Donnatal. Data readouts from three mid- to late-stage clinical trials will shape RedHill’s H117, providing inflection points for the share price. Our valuation is slightly lowered to NIS1.3bn ($369m) on somewhat higher than expected guided cash burn in 2017.

Financials: Ramping up R&D, financed well into 2018

RedHill reported modest Q416 licensing income of $100k (immaterial in Q415). R&D costs were $7.5m, up 51% y-o-y mainly due to increased R&D activities. G&A costs were $1.6m in Q416, down 6.9% y-o-y. This resulted in an operating loss of $9.0m versus $6.8m a year ago. Operating cash burn in Q416 was $10.1m compared to $28.2m for FY16. Following a successful $38m fund-raising in December 2016, RedHill ended the year with a cash pile of $66.2m. The company guided that quarterly cash burn in 2017 will be close to that in Q416 at c $10m, which is the main change to our FY17 estimates, decreasing operating profit to $39.9m from $33.0m. This implies cash reach well into 2018, which is comfortable given that by mid-2017 several mid- to late-stage trial data readouts will be out.

Commercial and R&D progress towards catalysts

One of the more notable recent events is a co-promotion deal with Concordia Healthcare for Donnatal (IBS/enterocolitis) in the US. The strategic importance of this deal is that RedHill aims to become a vertically integrated, commercial-stage, revenue-generating gastrointestinal speciality pharma company. Furthermore, RedHill will be able to use the established sales organisation to promote and distribute its own developed products. Looking forward, three mid- to late-stage catalysts will shape H117 for RedHill: the second DSMB review in Q217 with an early stop option for RHB-104 in Phase III for CD, Bekinda top-line Phase III results in gastroenteritis in Q217 and top-line Phase II results in IBS-D in mid-2017.

Valuation: Slightly lowered to NIS1.3bn ($369m)

Our valuation of RedHill is NIS1.3bn ($369m) or NIS7.7/share ($21.6/ADS), slightly reduced from NIS1.5bn ($378m) or NIS8.5/share ($22.2/ADS) previously. This is mainly because higher than estimated cash burn was partially offset by rolling our model forward in time. We keep all other assumptions unchanged and look forward to the upcoming R&D triggers in H117.

Key catalysts to mid-2017

RHB-104: Interim analysis in Q217 and early termination option

In October 2016, RedHill introduced an option for early termination of the Phase III study with CD patients if overwhelming efficacy or futility is demonstrated. This will be explored during the second DSMB review in Q217; the first DSMB review in December 2016 focused only on safety. If the study is not stopped, the enrolment of an expected 410 CD patients should be completed by end-2017. RHB-104 is a patented combination of three generic antibiotics (clarithromycin, rifabutin and clofazimine) for CD patients and represents a novel approach aimed at treating Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) infection which, according to numerous studies, can be one of the causative agents of CD.

Bekinda: Two data readouts by mid-2017

In February 2017, RedHill announced that the last patient had been enrolled to the Phase III trial in the US for acute gastroenteritis. Top-line results are expected in Q217. According to RedHill’s discussions with the FDA, this study could be sufficient to file for an NDA, assuming a clear efficacy signal is demonstrated with a favourable safety profile. Bekinda is also being explored in another Phase II trial with IBS-D patients, with top-line results in mid-2017.

Bekinda is a once-daily, bi-modal release, oral formulation of ondansetron. Ondansetron, originally developed and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis as Zofran, is a 5-HT3 (serotonin) receptor antagonist approved for the prevention of chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV and RINV, respectively) and prevention of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting (on an as needed basis, not routinely). RedHill licensed the patent-protected, extended-release formulation and, if approved, Bekinda (24mg) could be the first 5-HT3 antiemetic drug indicated for the treatment of acute gastroenteritis and gastritis in the US. Although studies are at an earlier stage, the opportunity for Bekinda in IBS-D is potentially greater than in gastroenteritis, given the chronic nature of the disorder and the currently underpenetrated market due to a lack of effective drugs.

More details about RHB-104 and Bekinda, including trial design and potential analysis, are discussed in our initiation report.

R&D and commercial progress

Co-promotion deal for Donnatal in the US

One of more notable recent events is a co-promotion deal with Concordia Healthcare for Donnatal in the US, already discussed in our previous report in more detail. The strategic importance of this deal is that RedHill aims to become a vertically integrated, commercial-stage, revenue-generating gastrointestinal speciality pharma company. Furthermore, it will be able to use the established sales organisation to promote and distribute its own developed products.

Donnatal (phenobarbital, hyoscyamine sulfate, atropine sulfate, scopolamine hydrobromide) is an established product with an existing market and classified by the FDA as possibly effective in irritable bowel syndrome and acute enterocolitis. Donnatal is an established product and was acquired by Concordia in 2014, with H116 sales reaching $71m (7.7% of Concordia’s sales). In our view, the first goal is to get the margins right and set up a profitable US business and then look for growth, potentially by adding more products to the portfolio. During the Q416 results call the company indicated that the focus this year is to set up the organisation in the US and initiate promotional activities. Initial sales could be recorded as soon as in Q317.

Positive final MS data from Phase IIa with RHB-104

RedHill's Phase IIa study (CEASE-MS) of RHB-104 in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) delivered final results in December 2016 and echoed the positive interim findings earlier in 2016. During the Q416 results call RedHill noted that the focus is on CD, which is the primary indication for RHB-104, and the progress with the MS indication will depend on insights from the ongoing Phase III for CD and potential interest from partners.

In the Phase IIa trial RHB-104 was evaluated as an add-on therapy to IFN-beta1a in an open-label, single-arm trial of 18 RRMS patients (17-patient data used for modified intent-to-treat analysis; 10-patient data used for per protocol analysis) who were treated for 24 weeks in combination with interferon beta-1a and then with interferon beta-1a only. Although not powered for efficacy, RedHill published encouraging interim results from this study in March 2016 and final top-line data in December 2016. The annualised relapse rate (ARR, one of the most common endpoints in late-stage trials in the industry)1 at 24 weeks was 0.29 in the modified intent-to-treat2 (mITT) population and 0.0 in the per-protocol3 (PP) population, comparing favourably with data published for standalone IFN-beta therapies Avonex (Biogen) 0.67 and Rebif (Merck Serono and Pfizer) 0.87-0.91. Final top-line results from patients who completed the full study showed a marked improvement over historical statistics, although data were not disclosed.

A. Lavery et al. Outcome Measures in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Capturing Disability and Disease Progression in Clinical Trials. Multiple Sclerosis International. Volume 2014, Article ID 262350.

ITT: the intention-to-treat principle requires that all participants who are randomised must be included in the final analysis regardless of the treatment received, withdrawals, lost to follow-up or cross-overs. This is the preferred analysis method to avoid bias. Modified ITT allows some post-randomisation exclusions.

Per-protocol analysis is a comparison of treatment groups, which includes only those patients who completed the originally allocated treatment. If used alone, this method may lead to bias.

Another endpoint was the relapse rate during the study. A total of 93% of the mITT patient population and 100% of the PP patient population were relapse free at 48 weeks, which also compares well with Rebif alone (75%) and Avonex alone (63%).

Commercialisation agreement for Rizaport finalised

In December 2016, RedHill finalised the agreement with Pharmatronic granting an exclusive licence to register and commercialise Rizaport in South Korea. RedHill and IntelGenx (a partner) will receive an upfront payment, milestone payments and tiered royalties. The initial term is for 10 years from the date of first commercial sale, with the commercial launch expected in Q119. This is a second agreement, similar to that signed with Grupo Juste for Spain and potentially for other territories.

Rizaport is an oral dissolving thin film formulation of rizatriptan, originally invented by IntelGenx, for the treatment of migraine attacks. IntelGenx, a Canada-based oral drug delivery formulation company, and RedHill entered into a co-development agreement in August 2010. In March 2013 the two companies submitted an NDA to the FDA under the 505(b)(2) regulatory path, but received a complete response letter primarily focusing on third-party chemistry and CMC issues, packaging and labelling. The FDA did not question safety or clinical trial results, and RedHill therefore plans to address the issues and resubmit the NDA in Q317. This may substantially boost the potential of Rizaport (for more details, see our initiation report).

Exhibit 1 summarises recent updates on RedHill’s R&D and commercial pipeline.

Valuation

We value RedHill at NIS1.3bn ($369m) or NIS7.7/share ($21.6/ADS), slightly reduced from NIS1.5bn ($378m) or NIS8.5/share ($22.2/ADS) previously. This is mainly because of a higher than estimated cash burn, which is partially offset by rolling our model forward in time. We keep all other assumptions in our model unchanged, as detailed in our initiation report.

■

We do not yet include the co-promotion deal in our valuation, but will revisit it when more details emerge about the commercial set-up and the initiation of promotional activities.

■

Our model assumed the initiation of a second Phase II trial with RHB-104 for the MS indication this year and at present we leave it unchanged ahead of the interim analysis of the Phase III CD trial, which may influence the near-term fate of the MS programme. We will also revise other details of the project, such as partnering timing and success probability.

Existing funds provide cash reach well into 2018. We assume $5.0m of illustrative financing will need to be included nominally as long-term debt (as per Edison’s policy) on the balance sheet in 2018.
