Ayala Pharmaceuticals Inc (AYLA) 시세

What happened to Ayala stock today 1/20/23?

The deal doubles the amount of catalysts for the combined company but halved the share price, people didn’t realize that adxs already applied for Nasdaq in May and sold thinking Ayala would be delisted for a long time post merger, I doubt it imo.

Advaxis and Ayala Pharmaceuticals Enter into Merger Agreement in All-Stock Deal

Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AYLA) (Ayala), a clinical-stage oncology company focused on developing and commercializing small molecule therapeutics for patients suffering from rare tumors and aggressive cancers and Advaxis, Inc. (OTCQX: ADXS) (Advaxis), a biotechnology company devoted to the discovery, development and commercialization of immunotherapies based on a technology which uses engineered Listeria monocytogenes, today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The merger would result in a combined company that will focus predominantly on the development and commercialization of Ayala's lead program AL102 for the treatment of desmoid tumors and Advaxis's candidate ADXS-504 in development for prostate cancer.

Kenneth A. Berlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Advaxis, said, "Advaxis took a thorough approach in our quest to find the right partner with the right products. This merger is expected to enhance Advaxis's portfolio of clinical assets, with Ayala's proprietary gamma secretase inhibitors that are being developed as targeted therapies for rare and aggressive tumors. Ayala's lead candidate, AL102, is currently being investigated in the Phase 2/3 RINGSIDE study in desmoid tumors, which we believe will accelerate the stage of product development for the combined company dramatically. We are particularly excited about very promising interim data from RINGSIDE, which showed that AL102 monotherapy had meaningful anti-tumor activity with tumor shrinkage in the majority of patients that appeared to be deepening over time. The combined management team has extensive commercial and R&D experience, and we believe we have the cash to advance the combined portfolio through key milestones in 2023, including longer-term data from Part A of RINGSIDE, clarity on the registration path for AL101 in recurrent/metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and initial clinical and PSA data from the Phase 1 trial of ADXS-504 in prostate cancer. We believe that this transaction will also help drive our efforts to return to a Nasdaq listing and enhance our ability to access capital."

Roni Mamluk, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Ayala commented, "We are pleased to announce the proposed merger with Advaxis, which is expected to provide our pipeline and AL102 with additional financial resources as well as additional infrastructure in the U.S. The two companies have a shared mission to develop innovative therapies to improve the lives of patients with cancer and I believe we have found a good partner to advance our pipeline and create value for our stakeholders."

Additional Transaction Details

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the closing of the merger, each outstanding share of Ayala common stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of Advaxis based on the exchange ratio set forth in the merger agreement. Upon completion of the merger, Ayala stockholders will own approximately 62.5% of the combined company's outstanding common stock and Advaxis stockholders will own approximately 37.5%, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. Advaxis will, at the effective time of the merger, assume the outstanding restricted stock units and stock options of Ayala, subject to the terms of the merger agreement. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the merger and Advaxis will pay cash in lieu of any such fractional shares. The merger is intended to qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the stockholders of Ayala. At the closing of the merger, Ayala will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. The combined company's common stock is expected to begin trading on the OTCQX at the effective time of the merger, subject to Advaxis' planned efforts to have the stock of the combined company listed on Nasdaq, as to which no assurances can be made.

REHOVOT, Israel and WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: AYLA), a clinical-stage oncology company focused on developing and commercializing small molecule therapeutics for patients suffering from rare tumors and aggressive cancers today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for AL102 for the treatment of progressing desmoid tumors. AL102 is a potent, selective, oral gamma-secretase inhibitor.

“We are pleased to receive FDA Fast Track designation for AL102 in progressing desmoid tumors, which we believe reinforces the large unmet medical need for patients with this serious disease. This designation holds important advantages that may expedite the development and regulatory review of AL102,” said Roni Mamluk, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Ayala. “We are very encouraged by the emerging body of clinical data supporting AL102 and, if approved, believe that this product could have a meaningful impact on patients’ lives.”

The FDA grants Fast Track designation to facilitate development and expedite the review of therapies with the potential to treat a serious condition where there is an unmet medical need. A therapeutic that receives Fast Track designation can benefit from early and frequent communication with the agency, in addition to a rolling submission of the marketing application, with potential pathways for expedited approval that have the objective of getting important new therapies to patients more quickly.

AL102 is being evaluated in the ongoing RINGSIDE pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trial in desmoid tumors. Positive interim results from Part A, the Phase 2 segment of this study, were presented at ESMO 2022, showing efficacy across all cohorts, with early tumor responses that deepened over time. AL102 was well tolerated. The company has initiated Part B of RINGSIDE (Phase 3), and is enrolling patients in an open label extension study.

About the RINGSIDE study
The RINGSIDE pivotal Phase 2/3 study is a randomized global multi-center trial. Part A of the study is evaluating the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and tumor volume by MRI after 16 weeks of AL102 in patients with desmoid tumors. It enrolled 42 patients and is evaluating 3 doses of AL102. Patients who participated in Part A are eligible to enroll into an open-label extension study at the Part B selected dose of 1.2 mg daily, and long-term efficacy and safety will be monitored.

Part B of the study, the Phase 3 segment, has been initiated. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled segment enrolling up to 156 patients with progressive disease, comparing AL102 at 1.2 mg once daily to placebo. The primary endpoint for Part B is progression-free survival (PFS) with secondary endpoints including objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), tumor volume reduction, and patient-reported Quality of Life (QOL) measures. For more information on the RINGSIDE Phase 2/3 study with AL102 for the treatment of desmoid tumors, please visit ClinicalTrials.gov and reference Identifier NCT04871282 (RINGSIDE).

About Desmoid Tumors
Desmoid tumors also called aggressive fibromatosis or desmoid-type fibromatosis, are rare connective tissue tumors that typically arise in the upper and lower extremities, abdominal wall, head and neck area, mesenteric root, and chest wall with the potential to arise in additional parts of the body. Desmoid tumors do not metastasize, but often aggressively infiltrate neurovascular structures and vital organs. People living with desmoid tumors are often limited in their daily life due to chronic pain, functional deficits, general decrease in their quality of life and organ dysfunction. Desmoid tumors have an annual incidence of approximately 1,700 patients in the United States and typically occur in patients between the ages of 15 and 60 years. They are most commonly diagnosed in young adults between 30-40 years of age and are more prevalent in females. Today, surgery is no longer regarded as the cornerstone treatment of desmoid tumors due to a high rate of recurrence post-surgery and there are currently no FDA-approved systemic therapies for the treatment of unresectable, recurrent or progressive desmoid tumors.
