TEL AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VBL Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VBLT), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing first-in-class therapeutics for difficult-to-treat malignant solid tumors and immune or inflammatory indications, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, and provided a corporate update.
“We continue to execute on our development and strategic objectives which we believe positions 2022 as a potentially transformational year for VBL,” said Dror Harats, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of VBL. “We look forward to completing the enrollment in the Phase 3 OVAL study in the first quarter of 2022 and the PFS co-primary endpoint top-line data readout in the second half of 2022. We also expect to initiate a first-in-human trial with VB-601, our monocyte targeting program, in the second half of 2022. With the recent strengthening of our management and board of directors, together with our newly established presence in the United States, we are taking important steps to prepare VBL for continued growth and the planned commercialization of VB-111.”
Third Quarter of 2021 and Recent Corporate Highlights
Development Programs
More than 85% of the planned 400 patients have been enrolled in the OVAL study, a global registration-enabling Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating VB-111 in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
The independent Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) conducted its fifth pre-planned data review of the OVAL study and provided clearance to proceed as planned with no changes to the protocol.
The Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls group of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration provided VBL clearance of VB-111 batches produced in its commercial-scale facility located in Modiin, Israel, for use in the Company’s clinical trials in the United States.
Enrollment continues in the VB-111 investigator-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trials in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (rGBM) and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with preliminary data expected from the mCRC study in the first half of 2022 and the rGBM study in the second half of 2022.
IND-enabling toxicology studies are underway for VB-601, a monoclonal antibody targeting monocytes for prevalent and chronic inflammatory disorders, and VBL expects to initiate a first-in-human clinical trial for the program in the second half of 2022.
Corporate
Further strengthened the management team with the appointment of Sam Backenroth as chief financial officer. In connection with the appointment, VBL established U.S. operations in New York, as the company prepares for anticipated growth.
Enhanced the board of directors (Board) with the appointments of Alison Finger and Michael Rice, who bring significant commercialization and capital markets expertise to VBL. Also completed the planned chairman succession to Marc Kozin, who initially joined the Board as vice chairman in October 2020.
Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2021
At September 30, 2021, VBL had cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits of $50.8 million. After September 30, 2021, the company received a further $9.6 million in proceeds from warrant exercises. VBL expects that its cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, and restricted bank deposits will be sufficient to fund currently planned operating expenses and capital expenditures into the fourth quarter of 2023.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, VBL reported a net loss of $6.5 million, or ($0.09) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million, or ($0.12) per basic share, in the comparable period in 2020.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, total operating expenses were approximately $6.6 million, consisting of $5.0 million in research and development expenses, net, and $1.6 million in general and administrative expenses.
