Forward guidance

Enanta provided financial guidance for fiscal year 2022, including research and development expenses between $150 million and $170 million, and general and administrative expenses between $35 million and $41 million.

Tailwinds

  • Evaluating EDP-938, an N-protein inhibitor, in a broad clinical development program, consisting of three ongoing Phase 2 trials: RSVP, RSVTx and RSVPEDs.
  • Enanta expects that enrollment in the RSVP study will be complete during the Northern Hemisphere winter season, if there is no further significant increase in COVID-19 or mitigation measures in those regions.
  • Assuming this enrollment occurs, the company expects data in the first half of 2022.
  • Enanta plans to move EDP-235 into the clinic in early 2022.
  • On schedule to select a clinical candidate with potent nanomolar activity against both RSV-A and RSV-B by year-end.

Headwinds

  • For RSVTx and RSVPEDs, which were initiated more recently, enrollment is expected to require more than one global RSV season, subject to the uncertainties of the continuing pandemic.
  • Terminated development of EDP-721, an oral HBV RNA destabilizer due to adverse safety signals in a Phase 1 healthy volunteer study.
  • Announced a strategic decision to discontinue internal development of FXR agonists EDP-305 and EDP-297, to prioritize combination approaches for NASH through out-licensing.
  • The dependence of Enanta’s revenues in the short-term upon the continued success of AbbVie’s sales of its MAVYRET/MAVIRET HCV regimen
  • Enanta’s lack of clinical development experience
