Eledon Pharmaceuticals Reports Preliminary Second Quarter 2024 Operating Results
14 Agosto 2024 - 11:21PM
Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eledon”) (Nasdaq: ELDN) today
reported recent business highlights for its second quarter 2024.
“We have entered the second half of the year with a strong
balance sheet following our oversubscribed $50 million private
placement and we are highly encouraged by the progress and
reception from the transplant community for our Phase 2 BESTOW
trial, which remains on track to complete enrollment by the end of
this year,” said David-Alexandre C. Gros, M.D., Chief Executive
Officer of Eledon. “Looking at this progress and the data we
presented in June, we continue to believe that tegoprubart has the
potential to displace calcineurin inhibitors, the current standard
of care, as a first-line immunosuppression agent for patients
undergoing kidney transplant.”
Second Quarter 2024 and Recent Corporate
Developments
- Enrolled the 80th participant in
July 2024 in the ongoing Phase 2 BESTOW trial assessing tegoprubart
head-to-head with tacrolimus for the prevention of organ rejection
in kidney transplantation.
- Presented updated data at the
American Transplant Congress (ATC) in June 2024 from the ongoing
Phase 1b open-label trial evaluating tegoprubart for the prevention
of organ rejection in kidney transplant patients. Updated data from
13 participants demonstrated that tegoprubart was generally safe
and well tolerated, with an overall mean estimated glomerular
filtration rate (eGFR) of all reported time points after day 30
post-transplant of 70.5 mL/min/1.73m2. Two participants completed
over 12 months on therapy post-transplant, and both demonstrated
mean eGFRs above 90 mL/min/1.73m2 at one-year post-transplant.
- Completed an oversubscribed private
placement financing for total gross proceeds of $50.0 million,
before deducting any offering related expenses.
Anticipated Upcoming Milestones
- End of 2024: Complete enrollment in
the Phase 2 BESTOW trial of tegoprubart in kidney
transplantation.
- Mid-2025: Report updated interim
clinical data from the ongoing Phase 1b and long-term safety and
efficacy extension studies of tegoprubart in kidney
transplantation.
Financial Results
In the course of preparing the Company’s financial statements as
of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the
Company, in consultation with Crowe LLP, the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm, determined that a
reclassification was necessary with respect to the Company’s
reporting and recording of the fair value of certain common stock
warrants and pre-funded warrants associated with the Company’s
Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April 28, 2023 (and the
potential second and third closings thereof), resulting in a
reclassification of these warrants as liabilities on the Company’s
balance sheet, on a mark-to-market basis.
The Company expects to restate its audited consolidated
financial statements that appeared in its Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on March 28, 2024, as amended on April 26, 2024, and its unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements that appeared in the
Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May
15, 2024 (together, the “Impacted Reports”). As previously
disclosed on the Company’s Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing
filed with the SEC today, the Company also expects to delay the
filing of its Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30,
2024 in light of the time and resources needed to prepare a
complete and accurate Form 10-Q in light of the restatement process
. See also the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed today for
additional information.
This accounting reclassification is non-cash and is not expected
to have an economic impact on the Company’s operations or on the
Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, or
cash runway.
Eledon ended the second quarter with approximately $83.6 million
in cash and cash equivalents, which includes the $50.0 million
received in the private placement financing transaction during the
second quarter.
About Eledon Pharmaceuticals and
tegoprubart
Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical stage
biotechnology company that is developing immune-modulating
therapies for the management and treatment of life-threatening
conditions. The Company’s lead investigational product is

Ligand (CD40L), a well-validated biological target within the

intervention. The Company is building upon a deep historical
knowledge of anti-CD40L biology to conduct preclinical and clinical
studies in allogeneic kidney transplantation, xenotransplantation,
and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Eledon is headquartered
