Savara Inc. (Nasdaq: SVRA) (the Company), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases, announced a $75 million royalty funding agreement with funds managed by RTW Investments, LP (RTW), subject to FDA approval of MOLBREEVI.

“This non-dilutive strategic financing will support the U.S. launch of MOLBREEVI, assuming FDA approval, and allow us to further invest in commercial priorities,” said Matt Pauls, J.D., M.B.A., Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Savara. “We remain on track to resubmit the MOLBREEVI BLA this December and, given there are no approved medicines in the U.S. and Europe for autoimmune PAP, we believe this drug could fundamentally change the way this rare and chronic disease is treated. We are grateful to work with RTW to bring this important therapy to market.”

“The pivotal IMPALA-2 clinical trial demonstrated the potential of MOLBREEVI to treat autoimmune PAP and today’s investment reflects our confidence in Savara and the strong commercial potential of the therapy,” said Roderick Wong, M.D., Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, RTW Investments, LP. “We are proud to partner with the Savara management team and look forward to supporting their efforts to bring this meaningful treatment to patients.”

The royalty financing will become available upon FDA’s approval of MOLBREEVI, and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, RTW will receive a tiered single digit percentage of annual net sales of MOLBREEVI in the U.S. for the treatment of autoimmune PAP, subject to a cap.

About Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP)

Autoimmune PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by the abnormal build-up of surfactant in the alveoli of the lungs. Surfactant consists of proteins and lipids and is an important physiological substance that lines the alveoli to prevent them from collapsing. In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to function properly in clearing surfactant, but in aPAP, GM-CSF is neutralized by antibodies against GM-CSF, rendering macrophages unable to adequately clear surfactant. As a result, an excess of surfactant accumulates in the alveoli, causing impaired gas transfer, resulting in clinical symptoms of shortness of breath, often with cough and frequent fatigue. Patients may also experience episodes of fever, chest pain, or coughing up blood, especially if secondary infection develops. In the long-term, the disease can lead to serious complications, including lung fibrosis and the need for a lung transplant.
