GlobeImmune Inc. reported earnings results for the year ended December 31, 2015. The company reported a net loss of $2.8 million compared to $16.3 million in 2014. The decrease in net loss for 2015 was due to $1.8 million of revenue from the license of the GI-6200 program to Celgene, lower research and development expenses due to lower compensation expense, as well as no interest expense, early retirement expense associated with convertible notes and no fair-value adjustments of warrants as these costs terminated upon the closing of the Company's initial public offering in July 2014. GlobeImmune reported a loss applicable to common stockholders of $2.8 million, or $0.48 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to loss applicable to common stockholders of $23.4 million, or $8.04 per share, in 2014.
The company has three ongoing clinical trials being conducted by the company's corporate collaborators, Gilead Sciences Inc. and Celgene Corporation. GS-US-330-1401, the GS-4774A Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with chronic HBV infection who are currently not receiving treatment, is fully enrolled and the 24-week results are projected to be available in the second quarter of 2016. The results from a GI-6207 Phase 2 trial in subjects with medullary thyroid cancer are projected to be available in the second half of 2016. A Phase 2 clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of evaluating GI-6301 in combination with radiation therapy in patients with chordoma is still enrolling patients.
GlobeImmune Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on developing products for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases based on its Tarmogen platform. The Companyâs Tarmogen platform activates the immune system by stimulating a subset of white blood cells called T cells that destroy infected or malignant cells in contrast to traditional vaccines, which predominately stimulate antibody production. Tarmogens also reduce the number and function of regulatory T cells, thus further enabling the antigen-specific cellular immune response. It has over two Tarmogen product candidates in clinical evaluation for infectious disease and multiple cancer indications. The Company's oncology product candidates include GI-6301, GI-6207 and GI-4000. The Company's infectious disease product candidates include GS-4774, GI-19000, GI-2010 and GI-18000.
