SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FibroGen, Inc. (Nasdaq:FGEN), a research-based biopharmaceutical company, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the year-ended December 31, 2014.
"FibroGen made excellent progress in 2014 on our lead clinical programs in anemia, fibrosis, and cancer," said Thomas Neff, chief executive officer of FibroGen. "We and our partners in the global development of roxadustat reached agreement on final protocols and are enrolling seven Phase 3 clinical trials of roxadustat for anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific, excluding Japan and China. Clinical trials of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and Stage 3 pancreatic cancer are on track, and we are now expanding our fibrosis program to include Duchenne muscular dystrophy."
"We ended 2014 with cash, cash equivalents, investments, and receivables of $346.8 million. As part of this amount, we received net proceeds of $171.8 million from our November 2014 initial public offering."
"In 2015, we expect to reach the cap on shared costs agreed upon with AstraZeneca for roxadustat CKD anemia development costs for the territories outside of China, after which, the costs we incur are reimbursed by our partners, as is described elsewhere in this press release."
"In addition, we expect non-contingent license and milestone payments of nearly $200 million in the next 15 months. We remain confident that our roxadustat CKD anemia program is fully funded through the planned Phase 3 clinical development program."
