WATERTOWN, Mass., Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C4 Therapeutics, Inc. (C4T) (Nasdaq: CCCC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing targeted protein degradation science to develop a new generation of small-molecule medicines and transform how disease is treated, today reported business highlights and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022.

"2022 was a year of execution that has laid the groundwork for 2023 as we work to progress three clinical programs, with a fourth expected to enter the clinic by year end," said Andrew Hirsch, president and chief executive officer of C4 Therapeutics. "With cash runway through the end of 2024, we look forward to having two clinical readouts in the second half of the year, which have the potential to validate our TORPEDO<sup>®</sup> platform to develop both BiDAC and MonoDAC degraders for patients with difficult-to-treat diseases."

**FOURTH QUARTER 2022 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS**

**CFT7455:** CFT7455 is an oral degrader of IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Progressed the Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial:** In January 2023, opened Arm B2 of the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial, evaluating CFT7455 in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of MM.

**CFT8634:** CFT8634 is an oral degrader of BRD9 for the treatment of synovial sarcoma and SMARCB1-null solid tumors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Encouraging Initial Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) Data:** In January 2023, shared PK and PD data from the initial escalation cohorts of the ongoing CFT8634 Phase 1/2 clinical trial demonstrating dose proportional exposure, strong oral bioavailability and deep BRD9 degradation

**CFT1946**: CFT1946 is an oral degrader targeting BRAF V600 mutations for the treatment of solid tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC) and melanoma.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Dosed First Patient in Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial:** In January 2023, dosed the first patient in the CFT1946 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Trial sites are open and enrolling patients with BRAF V600 mutant cancers including NSCLC, CRC and melanoma.

**FULL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS**

**Revenue:** Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $31.1 million, compared to $45.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Total revenue reflects revenue recognized under collaboration agreements with Roche, Biogen and Calico. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to a one-time cumulative recognition during the year ended December 31, 2021 for all of the previously unrecognized revenue allocated to the BRAF program upon the termination of the Roche agreement related to that target.

**Research and Development (R&D) Expense:** R&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $117.8 million, compared to $94.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in R&D expense was primarily attributable to clinical costs for CFT7455 and CFT8634, increased external costs, and internal workforce expenses to support the increased level of clinical trial activity.

**General and Administrative (G&A) Expense:** G&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $42.8 million, compared to $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in G&A expense was primarily attributable to the full-year 2022 impact of the build-out of our general and administrative team to support business growth.

**Net Loss and Net Loss per Share:** Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $128.2 million, compared to $83.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $2.62, compared to $1.82 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

**Cash Position and Financial Guidance:** Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of

December 31, 2022 was $337.1 million, compared to $451.5 million as of December 31, 2021. C4T expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2022, together with anticipated collaboration expense reimbursements, but excluding any collaboration option or milestone payments, will enable the company to fund its operating plan to the end of 2024.

**About C4 Therapeutics**

C4 Therapeutics (C4T) (Nasdaq: CCCC) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to delivering on the promise of targeted protein degradation science to create a new generation of medicines that transforms patients' lives. C4T is leveraging its TORPEDO<sup>®</sup> platform to efficiently design and optimize small-molecule medicines that harness the body's natural protein recycling system to rapidly degrade disease-causing proteins, offering the potential to overcome drug resistance, drug undruggable targets and improve patient outcomes.

For more information, please visit <u>www.c4therapeutics.com</u>.

**About CFT7455**

CFT7455 is an orally bioavailable MonoDAC™ degrader designed to be highly potent and selective against its intended targets of Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3). CFT7455 binds with high affinity to the E3 ligase adapter protein, cereblon, to target and degrade IKZF1/3 for the treatment of multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, including peripheral T cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. In early clinical data, CFT7455 demonstrated deep and durable degradation of IKZF1/3. C4T is enrolling patients in its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CFT7455. More information about this trial may be accessed at www.clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT04756726).

------

**About CFT8634**

CFT8634 is an orally bioavailable BiDAC™ degrader designed to be potent and selective against BRD9. BRD9 was previously considered an undruggable target due to the inability of bromodomain inhibitors to effectively treat cancers dependent on BRD9. Unlike BRD9 inhibition, BRD9 degradation has been shown to be efficacious in pre-clinical models of synovial sarcoma. C4T is enrolling patients in its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CFT8634 for the treatment of synovial sarcoma and SMARCB1-null solid tumors. More information about this trial may be accessed at www.clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT05355753).

**About CFT1946**

CFT1946 is an orally bioavailable BiDAC™ degrader designed to be potent and selective against BRAF-V600 mutant targets. In preclinical studies, CFT1946 is active in vivo and in vitro in models with BRAF-V600E-driven disease and in models resistant to BRAF inhibitors. C4T is advancing CFT1946 to the clinic to study treatment for BRAF-V600 mutant solid tumors including non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma. C4T is enrolling patients in its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CFT1946. More information about this trial may be accessed at www.clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT05668585).
