CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Foundation Medicine, Inc. (NASDAQ:FMI) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
- 5,908 clinical tests reported, 263% year-over-year growth
- Total revenue of $14.5 million, 145% year-over-year growth
- Revenue from clinical testing of $9.4 million, 233% year-over-year growth
- Continued commercial expansion, with 60% of tests reported to community oncologists
- Knowledgebase of genomic data grew to over 21,000 patient cases
Foundation Medicine reported total revenue of $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2014, a 145% increase compared to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 and a 27% increase compared to $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. Revenue from clinical testing in this year’s second quarter was $9.4 million, a 233% increase compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 and a 32% increase compared to $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2014.
The company reported 5,908 clinical tests in the second quarter of 2014, a 263% increase from the same quarter last year and a 26% increase from the 4,702 tests reported in this year’s first quarter. This number includes 4,960 FoundationOne® tests and 948 FoundationOne Heme tests.
The company’s clinical assays, FoundationOne for solid tumors and FoundationOne Heme for hematologic malignancies, sarcomas and pediatric cancers, provide a fully informative genomic profile that identifies clinically actionable molecular alterations to help physicians match relevant targeted therapies and clinical trials with the underlying genomic drivers of a patient’s cancer.
“We continued to gain commercial momentum in the second quarter, with strong growth in clinical test volumes and in the revenue contribution from our pharmaceutical industry partnerships,” said Michael Pellini, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Foundation Medicine. “It was especially encouraging to see a large number of new abstracts and publications coming from our partnerships and from independent research efforts. These data further validate our comprehensive approach to clinical testing and also represent a growing base of evidence supporting the clinical utility of our tests, a key factor in the reimbursement equation for payors.”
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $21.6 million, compared with $18.3 million for the first quarter of 2014. The second quarter increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by continued investment in commercial infrastructure and research and development.
Net loss was $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2014, or a $0.49 loss per share. At June 30, 2014, the company had $97.1 million in cash and cash equivalents.
“We remain focused on facilitating the practical utilization of our test findings in clinical care,” said Vincent Miller, M.D., chief medical officer of Foundation Medicine. “Our critical role in the Lung-MAP trial and launch of FoundationOne Careline emphasize our commitment to patients and physicians and our efforts to improve access to FDA-approved therapies and other therapies under study in clinical trials.”
Recent Enterprise Highlights
- Updated version of FoundationOne launched: In August, the company launched an updated version of FoundationOne incorporating a number of enhancements. The latest version, the most comprehensive genomic profile validated for clinical use today, expands the reporting of potential therapeutic options available for patients and physicians.
- New York State approval: In July, the New York State Department of Health fully approved FoundationOne and FoundationOne Heme, an important regulatory milestone.
- FoundationOne CareLine: In June, the company expanded its partnership with the Patient Advocate Foundation to establish the FoundationOne CareLine, a personalized case management service offered to patients with cancer who have had a FoundationOne or FoundationOne Heme test and are facing challenges gaining access to certain prescribed targeted therapies.

Data release highlights:
- In June, results from a new study conducted in partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) presented at the 2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting demonstrated that comprehensive genomic profiling of lung adenocarcinomas from patients with no or a light smoking history using FoundationOne identified potentially actionable alterations in approximately two-thirds of cases where previous extensive molecular testing on tumors was negative. Approximately one third of patients were matched to therapies in accordance with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) treatment guidelines, and approximately one third were matched to clinical trials enrolling at MSKCC at the time of testing.
- In May, additional new data, also presented at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting, demonstrated that FoundationOne identified genomic alterations that prompted physicians to change therapeutic decisions in 28% of patients tested as part of a prospective study conducted in the US Oncology network.
- In May, results from a study conducted by Foundation Medicine presented at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting demonstrated that FoundationOne detected nearly 50% more ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) rearrangements than detected by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) in lung carcinoma patients. These FISH-negative patients with ALK rearrangements detected by FoundationOne could benefit from crizotinib, an approved inhibitor of ALK.
-
Clinical trial updates:
- In July, the company partnered with the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute and Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation to launch the Genomics of Young Lung Cancer clinical trial, a first of its kind, multi-center, international prospective study. This study aims to better inform treatment decisions in young adults with lung cancer by leveraging FoundationOne.
- In June, a unique public-private collaboration among the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, SWOG Cancer Research, Friends of Cancer Research, the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, five pharmaceutical companies, and Foundation Medicine initiated the Lung Cancer Master Protocol (Lung-MAP) trial, a multi-drug, multi-arm, biomarker-driven clinical trial for patients with advanced squamous cell lung cancer. Since launch, the first patient samples have been received, and in July, the program announced its expansion to an additional 169 locations throughout the U.S. in addition to the 85 locations that have been participating since the initial launch.
2014 Outlook
The company confirmed its prior guidance for 2014, including:
- Reported clinical tests in the range of 22,000 and 25,000;
- Revenue in the range of $52 to $58 million; and
- The introduction of new features for the Interactive Cancer Explorer™ physician portal, including outcomes collection capabilities, in the second half of 2014.
