Naarden, the Netherlands and Miami, USA; August 7, 2024 – NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (Nasdaq: NAMS or “NewAmsterdam” or the “Company”), a late-stage, clinical biopharmaceutical company developing oral, non-statin medicines for patients at risk of cardiovascular disease (“CVD”) with elevated of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”), for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

“I am extremely pleased with our execution over the first half of 2024 and continue to be motivated by the team’s relentless commitment to unlocking the value of obicetrapib. We were thrilled to recently announce positive and statistically significant topline data from the pivotal Phase 3 BROOKLYN trial, which targeted heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (“HeFH”), a historically difficult-to-treat patient population, and underscores obicetrapib’s potential to address the significant unmet need for lipid lowering therapies,” said Michael Davidson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of NewAmsterdam. “Results from BROOKLYN achieved LDL-C lowering consistent with our phase 2 studies, along with a safety profile comparable to placebo, and with over half of patients on obicetrapib achieving the LDL-C guideline directed treatment goal of less than 70 mg/dl, we believe obicetrapib has potential to improve patient care for those living with dyslipidemia.”

"In addition, we recently hosted an R&D Day event where we detailed the differentiated target product profile of obicetrapib, discussed our commercial strategy, and unveiled REMBRANDT, a Phase 3 clinical study evaluating the fixed-dose combination (“FDC”) of obicetrapib and ezetimibe on coronary atherosclerotic plaque buildup in adults with or at high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (“ASCVD”),” Dr. Davidson continued. “Supported by our recently issued composition of matter patent, which extends patent protection in the US for obicetrapib into 2043, and $430.7 million of cash, we are advancing our mission from a position of strength. Looking at the second half and beyond, we are eager to build on the results of BROOKLYN with topline data from BROADWAY and TANDEM expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, respectively, while concurrently advancing our PREVAIL cardiovascular outcomes trial (“CVOT”).”

Clinical Development Updates

NewAmsterdam is developing obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily cholesteryl ester transfer protein (“CETP”) inhibitor, as the preferred LDL-C lowering therapy to be used in patients at risk of CVD for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated.

Upcoming Potential Milestones

NewAmsterdam’s global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical development program consists of four studies in over 12,250 patients, three for obicetrapib monotherapy and one for a FDC of obicetrapib and ezetimibe. NewAmsterdam currently expects to achieve the following upcoming milestones:

About Obicetrapib

Obicetrapib is a novel, oral, low-dose CETP inhibitor that NewAmsterdam is developing to overcome the limitations of current LDL-lowering treatments. In each of the Company’s Phase 2 trials, ROSE2, TULIP, ROSE, and OCEAN, as well as the Company’s Phase 3 BROOKLYN trial, evaluating obicetrapib as monotherapy or combination therapy, the Company observed statistically significant LDL-lowering combined with a side effect profile similar to that of placebo. The Company is conducting an additional Phase 3 pivotal trial BROADWAY, to evaluate obicetrapib as a monotherapy used as an adjunct to maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapies to provide additional LDL-lowering for CVD patients, and TANDEM, to evaluate obicetrapib and ezetimibe as a fixed-dose combination. The Company began enrolling patients in BROADWAY in January 2022 and in TANDEM in March 2024; completing enrollment of BROADWAY in July 2023, and TANDEM in July 2024. The Company also commenced the Phase 3 PREVAIL cardiovascular outcomes trial in March 2022, which is designed to assess the potential of obicetrapib to reduce occurrences of major adverse cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke and non-elective coronary revascularization. NewAmsterdam completed enrollment of PREVAIL in April 2024 and randomized over 9,500 patients. Commercialization rights of obicetrapib in Europe, either as a monotherapy or as part of a fixed dose combination with ezetimibe, for cardiovascular diseases have been exclusively granted to the Menarini Group, an Italy-based, leading international pharmaceutical and diagnostics company.

About NewAmsterdam

NewAmsterdam Pharma (Nasdaq: NAMS) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to improve patient care in populations with metabolic diseases where currently approved therapies have not been adequate or well tolerated. We seek to fill a significant unmet need for a safe, well-tolerated and convenient LDL-lowering therapy. In multiple phase 3 studies, NewAmsterdam is investigating obicetrapib, an oral, low-dose and once-daily CETP inhibitor, alone or as a fixed-dose combination with ezetimibe, as LDL-C lowering therapies to be used as an adjunct to statin therapy for patients at risk of CVD with elevated LDL-C, for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well tolerated.
