    Silverback Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:SBTX) ("Silverback"), a biopharmaceutical company leveraging its proprietary ImmunoTAC technology platform to develop systemically delivered, tissue targeted therapeutics for the treatment of chronic viral infections, cancer, and other serious diseases, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and provided a business update.

    "In the first quarter of 2022, we have made significant progress in advancing the preclinical development of SBT8230, a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate that we believe has the potential to drive functional cure in patients with chronic hepatitis B (cHBV) by eliciting a liver-localized anti-viral response," said Laura Shawver, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Silverback. "We believe that activating the immune response is an important component of a functional cure and may be combined with treatments that target the HBV life cycle to improve durability. Our team is on track to complete a regulatory submission in the fourth quarter of 2022, enabling the planned initiation of the single ascending dose healthy volunteer cohort of the Phase 1 study in the first quarter of 2023. We plan to report data from this cohort in the second half of 2023."

    SBT8230 (ASGR1-TLR8 ImmunoTAC conjugate for chronic HBV)

    • Initiated Phase 1-enabling toxicology study for SBT8230 in the first quarter of 2022 and on track to complete Phase 1 regulatory submission in the fourth quarter of 2022. Silverback expects to open enrollment for the single ascending dose healthy volunteer cohort of the Phase 1 study in the first quarter of 2023 and anticipates reporting data from this portion of the study in the second half of 2023. SBT8230 is comprised of an ASGR1 monoclonal antibody conjugated to a TLR8 linker-payload. ASGR1 is highly expressed in liver and is restricted in its expression to this organ. SBT8230 is designed to elicit a liver-localized anti-viral immune response and has the potential to improve the therapeutic window observed with untargeted, orally administered TLR8 agonists in cHBV, which have shown promise preclinically, but have been limited by toxicities in the clinic associated with immune activation in the gastrointestinal tract.

    ImmunoTAC Discovery Programs

    • Silverback continues to advance discovery programs, with an update anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2022. Discovery efforts are focused on evaluating and developing new antigen binding domains specific for targets of interest (including antibodies), next-generation linker technologies, and both agonist and antagonist small molecule payloads, that may be combined to create novel tissue-targeted antibody conjugates.

    First Quarter Financial Results

    For the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, Silverback reported a net loss of $24.6 million, compared to a net loss of $18.9 million for the comparable period in 2021.

    Research and development expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $16.9 million, compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in the Company's research and development expenses in 2022 were primarily attributable to an increase in direct costs related to preclinical research efforts, including the Company's SBT8230 program, and increases in personnel-related expenses as operations grew in support of program advances.

    General and administrative expenses for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $7.8 million, compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2022 were primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related expenses, including increases in salaries, bonuses, and stock-based compensation. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2022 was also due to an increase in legal fees, professional fees, and other various general and administrative expenses as we now operate as a public company.

    As of March 31, 2022, Silverback reported cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $298.1 million, compared to $319.1 million at December 31, 2021, which is expected to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2026. As of March 31, 2022, Silverback had 35,145,281 shares of common stock outstanding.
