New Risk • May 22
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 8.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • May 12

Certara Inc Announces Simcyp Simulator Results Replace Ten Human Trials For Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Therapy Asciminib Certara, Inc. enabled physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling predictions accepted by the U.S. FDA in lieu of clinical studies to support the new drug application (NDA) for asciminib (Scemblix®). PBPK modeling uses virtual biological systems to predict how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body, and is increasingly being applied in place of certain clinical studies where appropriate. The results published in “Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling and Simulations in Lieu of Clinical Pharmacology Studies to Support the New Drug Application of Asciminib” (Loisios-Konstantinidis et al.), highlight the growing impact and business benefits of model-informed drug development approaches for regulatory decision-making. Asciminib is the first-in-class allosteric inhibitor that specifically binds the BCR::ABL1 myristoyl pocket used to treat patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). The global incidence rate of CML was close to one case in 100,000 population in 2018, and it accounts for approximately 15% of newly diagnosed cases of leukemia in adults. Given its potential for drug-drug interactions and the need to evaluate multiple dosing regimens, PBPK modeling with the Simcyp Simulator enabled a mechanistic assessment of asciminib’s pharmacokinetics across diverse patient populations, dosing regimens and clinical scenarios. These simulations provided evidence that complemented and, in some cases, replaced clinical pharmacology studies in the NDA. Key results from the PBPK modeling included: Bridging between clinically tested and untested scenarios; Replacement of at least ten dedicated clinical pharmacology studies; Accurate characterization of asciminib pharmacokinetics across healthy volunteers and cancer patients; Predicting how medicines work in real-life patients taking other medications. The modeling work for asciminib evolved over a decade and contributed to richer understanding its optimal dosing regimen and drug interaction profile, ultimately supporting regulatory approval and an important new treatment for patients with CML.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 9.6% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Jul 14

U.S. Food and Drug Administration Licenses Certara, Inc.’s Immunogenicity Simulator Certara, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has licensed Certaras Immunogenicity Simulator to research and evaluate immunogenicity in protein-based therapeutics. Certaras IG Simulator predicts the immune response of therapeutics in development, which is important to guide clinical and regulatory decision-making. Immunogenicity, or the tendency of a molecule to trigger an immune response, is a major problem with protein-based therapeutics such as antibody-based drugs or biological medicines that are engineered versions of naturally occurring human proteins. Immunogenicity has long been an area of keen research interest by the FDA and biopharmaceutical companies as it can be challenging to predict and can negatively impact drug development projects late in the process that may be costly to rectify. As a part of its pilot model-informed drug development program, the FDA held a workshop on immunogenicity in June of 2021 with more than 2,000 registrants, where Certara scientists and partners presented on the rapid advances of the IG Simulator and its use cases.
