Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Senores Pharmaceuticals Launch Ivermectin Tablets USP, 3 mg In US Market

Dear Fellow Stockholder,
Given my recent transition to the role of CEO, I wanted to share my thoughts on Coya and our future and to express my gratitude to our founder and Executive Chair, Dr. Howard Berman, whose bold vision has instilled the "innovation and get-it-done" culture in Coya's DNA. We have made tremendous strides in 2024, repeatedly executing on our promises. As I look to 2025, I am confident that our nimble and highly experienced team will continue to exceed expectations.
I have spent my entire 25-year career in the biotech space, and I believe that Coya has the most promise of any company that I have represented. I truly believe our novel science, strong clinical proof of concept data, pharmaceutical partnership validation, cash runway, and clear path to a commercial drug differentiates us. Prior to serving at Coya, I helped spearhead and lead pharmaceutical transactions worth billions of dollars that led to significant value creation. I believe the opportunities ahead of us in 2025 and beyond are what investors, stockholders, and patients should be most excited about. Our science and approach of regulating Tregs is now validated in multiple trials across multiple neurodegenerative diseases, we have a track record of executing value-creating non-dilutive deals, and our strong cash position allows us to be prudent in our decisions.
Year Ahead
We expect our activities in 2025 to be focused on the following indications:
ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Program: We have alignment with the FDA on the data required to initiate our potentially pivotal COYA 302 Phase 2 double-blind randomized study in patients with ALS. We are targeting the submission of the requested data package by 2Q 2025 and initiation of the clinical trial upon FDA clearance. The roadmap to topline results is now clear with reduced uncertainty. In late 2023, we partnered with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, a multi-billion-dollar drug developer, to license COYA 302 in ALS in a deal that is worth up to $700 million. We still retain the rights to COYA 302 in ALS in Japan and South/Central America and Mexico, thus providing us direct upside and optionality in this indication alone.
FTD (Frontotemporal Dementia) Program: We expect to see topline results in 2H 2025 from the investigator-initiated, open-label study of Low Dose IL-2 (LD IL-2) + CTLA4-Ig in FTD. Study endpoints will measure safety, peripheral and central inflammation, FTD progression, and pharmacodynamic effects on Treg cell populations. The data are expected to guide our planned COYA 302 Phase 2 double-blind randomized study (which will be funded by the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation) and further optimize the design for success. The guidance from the FDA on the ALS IND reduces uncertainty on the planned IND filing for FTD in 2H of 2025. We have retained full commercial rights on this program thus far, providing us optionality to develop the program to BLA approval ourselves and capture the full potential upside or partner at a later stage once we obtain additional clinical data.
AD (Alzheimer's disease) Program: Complementing the promising data that was presented at CTAD in Madrid for LD IL-2 in mild to moderate AD, the investigators will disclose additional data in 1H 2025 that summarizes the changes in inflammation in the peripheral system (blood) and central nervous system (CSF and brain) and other molecular measurements for the two IL-2 dosing arms vs. placebo. These important data will help to further address the basic science associated with the promising clinical response observed in the lower dose IL-2 arm and its association with better Treg enhancement. We retain full rights to the AD indication for COYA 302 and are already in the process of exploring non-dilutive and strategic partnering opportunities. While the CTAD data was based on LD IL-2 alone and proved highly promising in and of itself, COYA 302, which is a proprietary combination of LD IL-2 and CTLA4-Ig, targets multiple pathways and is developed to more significantly and durably enhance Treg function, which we believe will be highly attractive to potential partners.
Strategic Partnerships
Dr. Reddy's Partnership: Our partnership with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is approaching its one-year anniversary, and our collaboration could not be stronger. We have a reliable partner for ALS, and leveraging its resources and expertise has created value beyond the milestone payments. In 2025, we anticipate receiving $8.4 million upon initiation of the Phase 2 ALS clinical trial and will continue to evaluate opportunities to further deepen the relationship.
Other Strategic Possibilities: As I have described, my background is one of deal-making, and I intend to leverage my network and capabilities to maximize opportunities for Coya in 2025. We have only partnered COYA 302 in ALS, and the optionality to partner, co-develop, or license the asset in other indications exists. Any potential transaction will be evaluated based on maximizing stockholder value. The positive data from the investigator-initiated trial of LD IL-2 in patients with Alzheimer's disease increases our confidence in obtaining value-creating pharma partnerships that combine our proprietary LD IL-2, COYA 301, with other modalities. I can envision multiple opportunities with LD IL-2 serving as a backbone adjuvant with standard of care agents and other novel pathways.
Moreover, the opportunity for grant funding and financial support from foundations exists and will be vigorously pursued. We believe the data emerging on Tregs in autoimmune disease (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and scleroderma) and, in particular, treatment with LD IL-2 is compelling and may strengthen the role of COYA 302 and LD IL-2 combinations in this space. I intend to actively pursue partnerships in this arena that would further place us in a strong position to pursue value-creating deals.
Value-Creating Pipeline
Like many experts in the scientific community, we believe combination strategies are the future to address devastating neurodegenerative diseases. We believe targeting one mechanism or pathway is likely insufficient to achieve maximal effect - hence our approach with COYA 302. COYA 302 is a "Pipeline within a Product" and has strong potential in ALS, FTD, AD, Parkinson's disease, and other indications.
We are continuously building our intellectual property to further enhance the value of Coya. One recent development is the combination of COYA 301 and GLP-1 agonists. Data suggests that the mechanism of action appears additive and/or synergistic in ameliorating inflammation. This is yet another opportunity for value-creating strategic partnerships. We intend to publish more detailed data in 1Q 2025.
Conclusion
As you can see from our past performance, our entire management team is committed to the success of Coya. We expect to recognize a number of clinical, regulatory, and/or commercial milestones in 2025 that will help us advance the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
On behalf of the entire Coya team, please accept our sincere gratitude for both your support and belief in our science, our story, and our team. We look forward to presenting additional clinical data and updating you on our additional corporate developments as they unfold. Onwards and upwards!

Coya Therapeutics Highlights Strategic Vision Under New CEO, With Key 2025 Milestones Including ALS Trial With Dr. Reddy's Partnership Worth Up To $700M, Emerging Opportunities In Parkinson's And Autoimmune Conditions, And Focus On Non-Dilutive Funding To Advance Treg-Enhancing Biologics For Neurodegenerative And Autoimmune Diseases

Dr. Reddy&#8217;s Laboratories Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDY#NYSE">RDY</a>) reported Tuesday a second-quarter 2025 net income of $160 million, down from $177 million a year ago.
Revenue increased from $821 million to $957 million — almost a 16.6% jump.
The strong revenue growth during the quarter was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.drreddys.com/cms/cms/sites/default/files/2024-11/Q2%20FY25%20Results%20.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">primarily</a> driven by growth in global generics revenues. The sequential growth was led by global generics revenues in Emerging Markets, India, Europe and Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI).
EBITDA for the quarter rose from $260 million to $272 million.
&#8220;We delivered another good quarter and maintained the growth momentum across businesses. We made progress on our future growth drivers, operationalized our venture with Nestle and completed the acquisition of Nicotinell and related brands,&#8221; said co-chair GV Prasad.
Global generics revenues during the second quarter reached 71.6 billion rupees, showing a 17% year-over-year growth, driven by improved sales volumes and new product launches.
North American sales increased 17% (a sequential decline of 3%) to 37.3 billion rupees. YoY growth was largely due to increased sales volumes, partly offset by price erosion. The sequential decline was due to a decrease in sales volumes.
Gross Margin at 59.6% (GG: 63.1 %, PSAI: 30.0%), a YoY increase of 92 basis points (bps) and a QoQ decline of 81 bps. The YoY increase was due to an improvement in product mix and overhead leverage, partly offset by price erosion. On a sequential basis, the decline was primarily due to changes in the mix.
Price Action: Dr. Reddy&#8217;s Laboratories is up 4.81% at $15.51 during the premarket session at last check Tuesday.

Dr. Reddy&#39;s Laboratories&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdy#NYSE">RDY</a>) has announced a definitive agreement with Haleon plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hln#NYSE">HLN</a>) to acquire its global portfolio of consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy&nbsp;category, excluding the United States.
The impending acquisition will add Nicotinell, Haleon&#39;s leading NRT brand with a presence in more than 30 countries across the EU, Asia (including Japan) and Latin America, to RDY&#39;s portfolio of global consumer healthcare over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. It also encompasses local market-leading brands, such as Nicabate in Australia, Thrive in Canada and Habitrol in New Zealand and Canada. The acquisition will cover all product formats, including lozenge, patch, gum and pipeline products, in all applicable global markets outside the United States.
The strategic move is set to further strengthen Dr. Reddy&#39;s OTC business. Please note that Haleon&#39;s Nicotinell is the world&#39;s second-largest brand in the NRT category, excluding the United States. It holds either the first or second position in 14 out of the top 17 global markets, with its lozenge/mini lozenge format being the top choice globally. Additionally, Nicotinell is among the top 15 OTC brands in Europe (excluding Russia and Italy) and ranks 32nd among all OTC brands globally (excluding the United States). In 2023, Nicotinell generated approximately GBP 217 million in revenues.
The proposed acquisition of Nicotinell and its related portfolio will provide a strong presence in the EU and other global markets, complementing and expanding Dr. Reddy&#39;s existing global footprint and capabilities.
Year to date, shares of RDY have gained 3.5% compared with the industry&#39;s 6.7% growth.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
In consideration of the transaction, Dr. Reddy&#39;s is liable to make an upfront cash payment of GBP 458 million and performance-based contingent payments of up to GBP 42 million, payable in 2025 and 2026, to Haleon. This brings the total deal value to GBP 500 million.&nbsp;
Subject to the fulfillment of certain customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 2024. Consequently, Dr. Reddy&#39;s will acquire Haleon&#39;s NRT business in all countries outside of the United States. However, operations will transition to Dr. Reddy&#39;s in a phased approach to ensure successful integration of the business.
Tobacco use causes eight million deaths annually from health issues like cardiovascular diseases, lung disorders, cancers and diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 60% of the 1.3 billion tobacco users globally want to quit, but only 30% have access to the necessary tools. Although safe and effective medical treatments are available, they are not always accessible or sufficiently provided.
Please note that NRT is recommended by the WHO&#39;s Model List of Essential Medicines for treating nicotine use disorders. NRT also played a crucial role in the WHO&#39;s Access Initiative for Quitting Tobacco, which was launched in 2020 and aimed at helping tobacco users quit to reduce the risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection.
Dr. Reddy&#39;s focuses on generics, branded generics, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, OTC products and biosimilars while investing in growth areas like novel molecules (NCEs, NBEs, CAR-T), digital therapeutics and consumer healthcare. In the United States, it has acquired brands like Habitrol, Doan&#39;s, Premama and the MenoLabs portfolio. In India, its portfolio includes hydration, cough-cold-allergy and skincare products, with a joint venture with Nestl&eacute; India for nutritional health solutions.
Dr. Reddy&#39;s also has a strong OTC presence in emerging markets. It recently entered into the U.K. market with Histallay. The company is enhancing its brand-building, marketing, digital and e-commerce capabilities.
<h3>Zacks Rank and Stocks to Consider</h3>
Dr. Reddy&#39;s currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). &nbsp;
Some better-ranked stocks from the drug/biotech industry are ALX Oncology Holdings&nbsp;and Annovis Bio, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.

The nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) portfolio consists of brands such as Nicotinell, Nicabate, Habitrol, and Thrive, which are available in gum, lozenge, and patch forms across over 30 markets.&nbsp;
The 500 million pound <a href="https://www.haleon.com/news/press-releases/brand/2024/haleon-to-divest-nicotine-replacement-therapy-business-outside-o">consideration</a> is structured as an upfront cash payment of 458 million pounds, with a further up to 42 million pounds deferred performance-based consideration payable during 2025 and H1 2026.
The transaction is expected to be completed in early Q4 2024.&nbsp;
This divestment will allow Haleon to exit the nicotine replacement therapy category outside the U.S. and reduce complexity across the business, allowing it to focus more on strategic growth areas. 
The nicotine replacement therapy business had a net revenue of 217 million pounds and a net profit of 110 million pounds for the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2023.
Assuming the transaction is completed in early Q4 2024, this divestment is expected to dilute fiscal year 2024 net revenue and adjusted operating profit by c. 0.5% and c. 1%, respectively.
All other fiscal year 2024 guidance, as shared in the first quarter trading statement is unchanged.&nbsp;
Brian McNamara, chief executive officer of Haleon, commented: "The divestment of Haleon's NRT business outside of the U.S. is a further example of Haleon being proactive in managing its portfolio and is consistent with our strategy as we implement change to become more agile and competitive. Whilst this business has great brands, these are not core for us, but I&#8217;m sure they will continue to flourish given the focus and capability of Dr Reddy&#8217;s." 
Price Action: RDY stock is down 0.04% at $71.78, and HLN shares are down 0.64% at $8.52 at last check Wednesday.
