– Nominated Potential Best-in-Class Pan-RAF Inhibitor, DCC-3084, as the Next Clinical Development Candidate from Proprietary Switch Control Kinase Inhibitor Platform –

Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCPH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing important new medicines to improve the lives of people with cancer, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

“Our strong third quarter results continue the exceptional progress we have made across our business in 2022: QINLOCK® delivered another quarter of record revenue, we reported exciting data at ESMO for our two clinical programs and we nominated the next clinical development candidate from our proprietary research platform,” said Steve Hoerter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deciphera Pharmaceuticals. “We have already begun building upon this momentum in the fourth quarter with key milestones including our announcement today of the opening of enrollment in our combination escalation cohorts in the Phase 1 study of DCC-3116 and the treatment of the first patient.”

Mr. Hoerter continued, “We remain inspired by QINLOCK’s impact on the treatment of patients with GIST, in the U.S., Europe, and other countries around the world, as we focus on expanding the geographic reach of this breakthrough medicine. We achieved important milestones in the third quarter in our two clinical programs, vimseltinib and DCC-3116, with exciting data updates at the ESMO Congress in September. The best-in-class potential of vimseltinib in TGCT was underscored by the high response rates and the preliminary patient-reported outcome results, which found clinically meaningful improvements in both pain and stiffness. We also presented first-in-human data for DCC-3116 demonstrating a favorable safety and pharmacokinetic profile and strong target inhibition across all dose levels studied. Building upon this quarter’s clinical success and leveraging the full potential of our switch control kinase inhibitor discovery platform, we are excited to announce our new clinical development candidate, DCC-3084, that has best-in-class potential as a pan-RAF inhibitor.”

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

QINLOCK (ripretinib)

  • Recorded $32.3 million in QINLOCK net product revenue in the third quarter of 2022, including $24.5 million in U.S. net product revenue and $7.8 million in international net product revenue, an increase of 49% from net product revenue of $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Announced that the Journal of Clinical Oncology published results from the Company’s INTRIGUE Phase 3 study of QINLOCK in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) previously treated with imatinib. Although QINLOCK did not offer a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to sunitinib, QINLOCK showed meaningful clinical activity with fewer Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and improved tolerability.

Vimseltinib

  • Presented updated results from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of vimseltinib in tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) in two poster presentations at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022 in September. The results showed an objective response rate of 69% in Phase 1, 53% in Phase 2 Cohort A, and 46% in Phase 2 Cohort B, with a demonstrated clinical benefit rate of 100% across all Phase 1/2 patients. Preliminary patient-reported outcome data in the Phase 2 portion demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in pain and stiffness at week 25 compared to baseline. Treatment with vimseltinib across all Phase 1/2 patients was well-tolerated. Duration of treatment continued to increase from the data cut at ESMO 2021 including 17.5 months of median treatment duration for patients in the Phase 1 portion of the study.
  • Continued patient enrollment in the pivotal Phase 3 MOTION study of vimseltinib for the treatment of TGCT. MOTION is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of vimseltinib to assess the efficacy and safety in patients with TGCT who are not amenable to surgery. The primary endpoint of the study is objective response rate at week 25 as measured by RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent radiologic review.

DCC-3116

  • Presented initial clinical data in an oral presentation as a Proffered Paper at the ESMO Congress 2022 from the single agent dose escalation portion of the Phase 1 study of DCC-3116 in patients with advanced or metastatic tumors with a mutant RAS or RAF gene. The results showed DCC-3116 was well-tolerated at doses from 50 to 300 mg twice daily with no dose limiting toxicities or treatment-related serious adverse events observed. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data across all dose levels demonstrated exposure and ULK 1/2 inhibition associated with anti-cancer efficacy in preclinical studies.
  • Completed enrollment in the single agent dose escalation Phase 1 study in the fourth quarter of 2022; single-agent DCC-3116 did not reach a maximum tolerated dose; and selected 50 mg twice daily as the starting dose for the combination dose escalation cohorts.
  • Opened enrollment in three Phase 1b combination dose escalation cohorts and treated the first patient in the fourth quarter of 2022:
    • In combination with trametinib, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved MEK inhibitor, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with RAS, NF1, or RAF mutations.
    • In combination with binimetinib, an FDA-approved MEK inhibitor, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with RAS, NF1, or RAF mutations.
    • In combination with sotorasib, an FDA- approved KRASG12C inhibitor, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with KRASG12C mutations.

DCC-3084

  • Nominated DCC-3084 as the Company’s new pan-RAF clinical development candidate. DCC-3084 is a selective inhibitor of BRAF/CRAF kinases that inhibits Class I, II and III BRAF mutants, BRAF fusions and NRAS mutant cell lines using the Company’s novel switch-control kinase inhibitor platform. Preclinical studies of DCC-3084 demonstrate both single-agent and combination activity and favorable pharmaceutical properties, a key potential differentiator from other pan-RAF programs in development.

Corporate Update

  • Appointed Lisa Amaya Price as Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer to lead the Company’s human resources, recruitment, and talent development strategy. Ms. Amaya Price brings over 20 years of experience with a strong track record of developing human resource strategies and leading talent recruitment, selection, and development in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $36.0 million, which includes $32.3 million of net product revenue of QINLOCK and $3.7 million of collaboration revenue compared to $23.2 million of total revenue, including $21.7 million of net product revenue of QINLOCK and $1.5 million of collaboration revenue, for the same period in 2021.
  • Cost of Sales: Cost of sales were $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, which includes $0.7 million in cost of product sales, compared to $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2021, which included $0.2 million in cost of product sales. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sales of zero cost inventories of QINLOCK that had been expensed prior to FDA approval.
  • R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $47.5 million, compared to $66.4 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower clinical trial costs related to QINLOCK, including INTRIGUE, the Phase 3 study for the treatment of second-line GIST for which top-line results were announced in November 2021, the discontinuation of the rebastinib program following the corporate restructuring implemented in the fourth quarter of 2021, and preclinical costs including the recognition of a $4.0 million up-front payment to Sprint Bioscience (Sprint) in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in clinical trial costs related to the Phase 3 study of vimseltinib and the Phase 1 study of DCC-3116. Non-cash, stock-based compensation was $5.3 million and $5.4 million for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • SG&A Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $30.0 million, compared to $35.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related costs and professional and consultant fees. Non-cash, stock-based compensation was $7.1 million and $6.4 million for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • Net Loss: For the third quarter of 2022, Deciphera reported a net loss of $43.0 million, or $0.55 per share, compared with a net loss of $79.8 million, or $1.37 per share, for the same period in 2021.
  • Cash Position: As of September 30, 2022, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $371.6 million, compared to $393.1 million as of June 30, 2022. Based on its current operating plans, Deciphera expects its current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities together with anticipated product, royalty, and supply revenues, but excluding any potential future milestone payments under its collaboration or license agreements, will enable the Company to fund its operating and capital expenditures into 2025.
