Company Overview
We are a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of best-in-class therapeutics that improve and extend the lives of patients with cancer. Our initial focus is on the development of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered chemotherapy agent that belongs to a class of drugs known as taxanes, which are widely used in the treatment of cancer. Tesetaxel has several properties that make it unique among taxanes, including:
|
|
•
|
oral administration with a low pill burden;
|
|
|
•
|
a long (~8-day) terminal plasma half-life in humans, enabling the maintenance of adequate drug levels with relatively infrequent dosing;
|
|
|
•
|
no history of hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions; and
|
|
|
•
|
significant activity against chemotherapy-resistant tumors.
|
In patients with metastatic breast cancer (“MBC”), tesetaxel was shown to have significant, single‑agent antitumor activity in two multicenter, Phase 2 studies. Tesetaxel currently is the subject of three studies in MBC, including a multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 study in patients with MBC, known as CONTESSA. Positive results of CONTESSA were presented at the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (“SABCS”). We plan to submit a New Drug Application for tesetaxel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in mid-2021. Our goal for tesetaxel is to develop an effective chemotherapy choice for patients that provides quality-of-life advantages over current alternatives.

CONTESSA
In CONTESSA, 685 patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative MBC were randomized to be treated with either tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m² on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle plus a reduced dose of capecitabine (1,650 mg/m²/day dosed orally for 14 days of a 21-day cycle) or the approved dose of capecitabine alone (2,500 mg/m²/day dosed orally for 14 days of a 21-day cycle). Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy agent that is considered a standard-of-care treatment in MBC. Where indicated, patients must have been treated with endocrine therapy with or without a cyclin-dependent kinase (“CDK”) 4/6 inhibitor. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (“PFS”) as assessed by an Independent Radiologic Review Committee (“IRC”). The secondary endpoints are overall survival (“OS”), objective response rate (“ORR”) as assessed by the IRC and disease control rate (“DCR”) as assessed by the IRC. CONTESSA is being conducted at 180 investigational sites in 18 countries in North America, Europe and Asia.
CONTESSA met the primary endpoint of improved PFS as assessed by the IRC. Median PFS was 9.8 months for tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine versus 6.9 months for the approved dose of capecitabine alone, an improvement of 2.9 months. The risk of disease progression or death was reduced by 28.4% [hazard ratio=0.716 (95% confidence interval [“CI”]: 0.573-0.895); p=0.003] for patients who were treated with tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine versus patients who were treated with the approved dose of capecitabine alone.
The ORR as assessed by the IRC was 57% for tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine versus 41% for the approved dose of capecitabine alone (p=0.0002). The DCR as assessed by the IRC was 67% for tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine versus 50% for the approved dose of capecitabine alone (p<0.0001). While OS data are immature, a protocol-specified interim analysis indicated the
S-5
absence of an adverse effect on OS with tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine. A protocol-specified final analysis of OS is expected to occur in 2022.
Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (“TEAEs”) that occurred in ≥5% of patients were: neutropenia (70.9% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 8.3% for capecitabine alone); diarrhea (13.1% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 8.9% for capecitabine alone); hand‑foot syndrome (6.8% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 12.2% for capecitabine alone); febrile neutropenia (13.1% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 1.2% for capecitabine alone); fatigue (8.6% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 4.5% for capecitabine alone); hypokalemia (8.6% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 2.7% for capecitabine alone); leukopenia (9.8% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 0.9% for capecitabine alone); and anemia (8.0% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 2.4% for capecitabine alone).
Adverse events resulting in treatment discontinuation in ≥1% of patients were: neutropenia or febrile neutropenia (4.2% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 1.5% for capecitabine alone); neuropathy (3.6% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 0.3% for capecitabine alone); sepsis or septic shock (1.8% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 0.6% for capecitabine alone); diarrhea (0.9% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 1.5% for capecitabine alone); and hand-foot syndrome (0.6% for tesetaxel plus capecitabine vs. 2.1% for capecitabine alone). Treatment discontinuation due to any adverse event occurred in 23.1% of patients treated with tesetaxel plus capecitabine versus 11.9% of patients treated with capecitabine alone.
Tesetaxel dose reductions occurred in 76% of patients treated with tesetaxel plus capecitabine, primarily due to neutropenia. Dose reductions occurred in 61% of patients treated with capecitabine alone, primarily due to hand-foot syndrome. The median relative delivered dose intensity, which accounts for dose reductions (both frequency and magnitude), dose delays and treatment adherence, was higher in patients treated with tesetaxel plus capecitabine. Specifically, 81% of the intended dose of tesetaxel through cycle 12 was delivered in patients treated with tesetaxel plus capecitabine versus 76% of the intended dose of capecitabine through cycle 12 in patients treated with capecitabine alone.
Grade ≥3 neuropathy occurred in 5.9% of patients treated with tesetaxel plus capecitabine versus 0.9% of patients treated with capecitabine alone. Grade 2 alopecia (hair loss) occurred in 8.0% of patients treated with tesetaxel plus capecitabine versus 0.3% of patients treated with capecitabine alone. There were no treatment-related hypersensitivity reactions.
CONTESSA 2
In CONTESSA 2, 150 patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative MBC not previously treated with a taxane were enrolled and treated with tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle plus a reduced dose of capecitabine (1,650 mg/m2/day dosed orally for 14 days of a 21-day cycle). Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy agent that is considered a standard-of-care treatment in MBC. Where indicated, patients must have been treated with endocrine therapy with or without a CDK 4/6 inhibitor. The primary endpoint is ORR as assessed by the IRC. The secondary efficacy endpoints are DoR as assessed by the IRC, PFS as assessed by the IRC, DCR as assessed by the IRC and OS. Enrollment was complete in August 2020, and the study is ongoing.
CONTESSA TRIO
CONTESSA TRIO is a multi-cohort, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane, in patients with MBC.
|
|
•
|
In Cohort 1, approximately 200 patients with triple-negative MBC who have not been treated with prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will be randomized 1:1:1 to be treated with tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle plus either: (i) nivolumab at 360 mg by intravenous (“IV”) infusion on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle; (ii) pembrolizumab at 200 mg by IV infusion on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle; or (iii) atezolizumab at 1,200 mg by IV infusion on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab (programmed cell death protein 1 [“PD-1”] inhibitors) and atezolizumab (a programmed death-ligand 1 [“PD-L1”] inhibitor) are immuno-oncology (“IO”)
|
S-6
|
|
|
agents approved for the treatment of multiple types of cancer. Two of these agents, atezolizumab and pembrolizumab, have been approved by the FDA as a first-line treatment for patients with triple-negative MBC. The primary endpoints for Cohort 1 are ORR and PFS in patients with PD-L1 positive status. The secondary endpoints are ORR and PFS in all patients, DoR and OS. Efficacy results for each of the three PD-(L)1 inhibitor combinations will be assessed for correlation with the results of each of the three approved PD-L1 diagnostic assays. Enrollment is ongoing.
|
|
|
•
|
In Cohort 2, 69 elderly patients with HER2-negative MBC who had not been treated with prior chemotherapy for advanced disease were enrolled and treated with tesetaxel monotherapy dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoints for Cohort 2 are ORR and PFS in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative disease. The secondary endpoints are ORR and PFS in patients with triple-negative disease, DoR and OS. Enrollment was complete in November 2020, and the study is ongoing.
|
|
|
•
|
In Cohort 3, approximately 60 non-elderly adult patients with HER2-negative MBC who have not been treated with prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will be treated with tesetaxel monotherapy dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoints for Cohort 3 are ORR and PFS in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative disease. The secondary endpoints are ORR and PFS in patients with triple-negative disease, DoR and OS. Enrollment is ongoing.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below and in the accompanying prospectus, as well as those contained in the other documents incorporated by reference and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before deciding whether to purchase shares of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks and uncertainties. In any such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Relating to this Offering
We have broad discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will retain broad discretion as to the allocation of the proceeds and may spend these proceeds in ways in which you may not agree. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you may incur immediate and substantial dilution.
Some or all of the public offering price per share in this offering may exceed the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. After giving effect to an assumed sale of shares of common stock in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 at an assumed public offering price of $24.08 per share, which was the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on February 22, 2021, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you would incur immediate and substantial dilution in the amount of $18.46 per share. In addition, you may also experience additional dilution after this offering on any future equity issuances, including the issuance of common stock in connection with the Odonate Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Stock Option Plan and the Odonate Therapeutics, Inc. 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience substantial additional dilution. See “Dilution” for additional information.
It is not possible to predict the aggregate proceeds resulting from sales made under the Sale Agreement.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sale Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver an issuance notice to Jefferies at any time throughout the term of the Sale Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through Jefferies after delivering an issuance notice, if any, will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of shares of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with Jefferies in any applicable issuance notice and the demand for shares of our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share of common stock sold pursuant to the Sale Agreement will fluctuate during this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares of common stock that will be sold or the aggregate proceeds we will raise in connection with those sales under the Sale Agreement, and we may not sell any shares of common stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for development, regulatory and commercial preparation activities relating to tesetaxel, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Pending the use of the net proceeds, we may invest the proceeds in interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, certificates of deposit or government securities.
S-9
DILUTION
Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share of common stock paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. The data in this section are derived from our balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. Net tangible book value per share of common stock is equal to our total tangible assets less the amount of our total liabilities, divided by 37,316,596, the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020 excluding shares of common stock underlying outstanding incentive units. Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 was $136.1 million, or $3.65 per share of common stock.
After giving effect to the assumed sale of shares of common stock in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 at an assumed public offering price of $24.08 per share, which was the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on February 22, 2021, and after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 would have been $233.0 million, or $5.62 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $1.97 per share of common stock and immediate dilution in net tangible book value to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering of $18.46 per share of common stock. The following table illustrates this dilution per share of common stock:

The table above illustrates that an aggregate of 4,152,823 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $24.08 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Stock Market on February 22, 2021. The shares of common stock sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares of common stock are sold would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering to $19.44 per share, after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares of common stock are sold would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering to $17.49 per share, after deducting the commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a Sale Agreement with Jefferies, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 from time to time through Jefferies acting as our sales agent. Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus through a sale that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.
Each time we wish to issue and sell shares of common stock under the Sale Agreement, we will notify Jefferies of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of shares to be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once we have so instructed Jefferies, unless Jefferies declines to accept the terms of such notice, Jefferies has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of Jefferies under the Sale Agreement to sell our shares of common stock are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.
The settlement of sales of shares between us and Jefferies is generally anticipated to occur on the second trading day following the date on which the sale was made. Sales of our shares of common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Jefferies may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
Jefferies will receive from us a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sale Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Jefferies for the fees and disbursements of its counsel, payable upon execution of the Sale Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $50,000, as well as disbursements of its counsel in an amount not to exceed $15,000 in connection with each diligence bring-down thereafter. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding any commissions or expense reimbursement payable to Jefferies under the terms of the Sale Agreement, will be approximately $150,000. The remaining sale proceeds, after deducting any other transaction fees, will equal our net proceeds from the sale of such shares of common stock.
Jefferies will provide written confirmation to us before the open on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the day following each day on which our shares of common stock are sold under the Sale Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on that day, the aggregate gross proceeds of such sales and the proceeds to us.
In connection with the sale of our common stock on our behalf, Jefferies will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Jefferies will be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Jefferies with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to the Sale Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of common stock subject to the Sale Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Sale Agreement as permitted therein. We and Jefferies may each terminate the Sale Agreement at any time upon prior notice.
This summary of the material provisions of the Sale Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of its terms and conditions. A copy of the Sale Agreement is filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021 and is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.
Jefferies and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the
S-11
future receive customary fees. In the course of its business, Jefferies may actively trade our securities for its own account or for the accounts of customers, and accordingly, Jefferies may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.
A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by Jefferies, and Jefferies may distribute the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Our Company
We are a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of best-in-class therapeutics that improve and extend the lives of patients with cancer. Our initial focus is on the development of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered chemotherapy agent that belongs to a class of drugs known as taxanes, which are widely used in the treatment of cancer. Tesetaxel has several pharmacologic properties that make it unique among taxanes, including: oral administration with a low pill burden; a long (~8-day) terminal plasma half-life in humans, enabling the maintenance of adequate drug levels with relatively infrequent dosing; no history of hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions; and significant activity against chemotherapy-resistant tumors. In patients with metastatic breast cancer, tesetaxel was shown to have significant, single-agent antitumor activity in two multicenter, Phase 2 studies. We are currently conducting three studies in breast cancer, as shown in the following table, including a multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 study in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (“HER2”) negative, hormone receptor (“HR”) positive metastatic breast cancer (“MBC”), known as CONTESSA. We expect to complete enrollment of CONTESSA in the second half of 2019 and report top-line results from CONTESSA in 2020. Our goal for tesetaxel is to develop an effective chemotherapy choice for patients that provides quality-of-life advantages over current alternatives.

CONTESSA
CONTESSA is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane, in patients with MBC. CONTESSA is comparing tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on the first day of each 21-day cycle plus a reduced dose of capecitabine (1,650 mg/m2/day dosed orally for 14 days of each 21-day cycle) to the approved dose of capecitabine alone (2,500 mg/m2/day dosed orally for 14 days of each 21-day cycle) in approximately 600 patients randomized 1:1 with HER2 negative, HR positive MBC previously treated with a taxane in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting. Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy agent that is considered a standard-of-care treatment in MBC.
3
Where indicated, patients must have received endocrine therapy with or without a cyclin-dependent kinase (“CDK”) 4/6 inhibitor. Patients with central nervous system (“CNS”) metastases are eligible. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (“PFS”) as assessed by an Independent Radiologic Review Committee (“IRC”). CONTESSA’s secondary efficacy endpoints are overall survival (“OS”), objective response rate (“ORR”) as assessed by the IRC and disease control rate (“DCR”) as assessed by the IRC.
In June 2019, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (the “IDMC”) for CONTESSA recommended that the study continue with no modifications following a planned interim efficacy futility analysis. The interim efficacy futility analysis was based on a pre-specified analysis of the first approximate 100 PFS events that occurred in the study. The purpose of the interim efficacy futility analysis was to facilitate the early termination of the study if the IDMC determined that achieving a positive outcome on the primary endpoint would be futile.
CONTESSA 2
CONTESSA 2 is a multinational, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane, in patients with MBC. CONTESSA 2 is investigating tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on the first day of each 21-day cycle plus a reduced dose of capecitabine (1,650 mg/m2/day dosed orally for 14 days of each 21-day cycle) in approximately 125 patients with HER2 negative, HR positive MBC not previously treated with a taxane. Capecitabine is an oral chemotherapy agent that is considered a standard-of-care treatment in MBC. Where indicated, patients must have received endocrine therapy with or without a CDK 4/6 inhibitor. Patients with CNS metastases are eligible. The primary endpoint is ORR as assessed by an IRC. The secondary efficacy endpoints are duration of response (“DoR”) as assessed by the IRC, PFS as assessed by the IRC, DCR as assessed by the IRC and OS.
CONTESSA TRIO
CONTESSA TRIO is a multi-cohort, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane, in patients with MBC.
|
|
•
|
In Cohort 1, approximately 90 patients (with potential expansion to up to 150 patients) with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (“TNBC”) who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive tesetaxel dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on the first day of each 21-day cycle plus either: (1) nivolumab at 360 mg by intravenous infusion on the first day of each 21-day cycle; (2) pembrolizumab at 200 mg by intravenous infusion on the first day of each 21-day cycle; or (3) atezolizumab at 1,200 mg by intravenous infusion on the first day of each 21-day cycle. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitors) and atezolizumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) are immuno-oncology (“IO”) agents approved for the treatment of multiple types of cancer. One of these agents, atezolizumab, in combination with the intravenously delivered taxane, nab-paclitaxel, was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic TNBC. Patients with CNS metastases are eligible. The dual primary endpoints for Cohort 1 are ORR and PFS. Secondary endpoints include DoR and OS. Efficacy results for each of the three PD-(L)1 inhibitor combinations will be assessed for correlation with the results of each of the three approved PD-L1 diagnostic assays.
|
|
|
•
|
In Cohort 2, approximately 40 elderly patients (with potential expansion to up to 60 patients) with HER2 negative MBC will receive tesetaxel monotherapy dosed orally at 27 mg/m2 on the first day of each 21-day cycle. Patients with CNS metastases are eligible. The primary endpoint for Cohort 2 is ORR. Secondary endpoints include PFS, DoR and OS.
