BURLINGTON, Mass., March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- scPharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: SCPH) (the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company committed to revolutionizing cardiorenal healthcare through patient-centric innovations, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024, and provided a business update.

Business Update

  • For the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024, scPharmaceuticals reports:
    • Net FUROSCIX revenue of $12.2 million and $36.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively, compared to $6.1 million and $13.6 million for the same periods in 2023, up 99% and 167% respectively
    • Approximately 13,300 FUROSCIX doses filled in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a 23% increase from the 10,800 doses filled in the third quarter of 2024
    • Approximately 41,000 FUROSCIX doses filled in 2024
    • Gross-to-net (GTN) discount of 19% and 16% for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively
    • Approximately 3,800 unique prescribers from launch through year end 2024, up approximately 23% from the end of the third quarter
    • Continued expansion into Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), with 123% growth from the third quarter of 2024
  • FUROSCIX Approved for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): On March 6, 2025, the FDA approved the sNDA to expand the FUROSCIX indication to include the treatment of edema in patients with chronic kidney disease. scPharmaceuticals anticipates formally launching the new indication in April 2025, and has completed key pre-launch initiatives, including key opinion leader engagement, comprehensive market research, and commercial readiness activities.
  • 80mg/1mL FUROSCIX Autoinjector: scPharmaceuticals continues to advance the SCP-111 Autoinjector 80mg/1mL FUROSCIX program and is targeting the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) submission mid-year. If approved, the Autoinjector will potentially give physicians another treatment option for patients and has the potential to reduce costs associated with FUROSCIX by approximately 70%.

“We were pleased to receive approval of FUROSCIX in CKD from the FDA, which we believe is a critical market opportunity for scPharmaceuticals and a core component of the long-term franchise expansion plans for FUROSCIX. The nephrologists in our preliminary call points understand where FUROSCIX fits into the treatment paradigm, and the benefits it can bring to these patients when they experience fluid overload,” stated John Tucker, President, and Chief Executive Officer of scPharmaceuticals. “As we focus on 2025, we remain encouraged by the significant tailwinds, including scPharmaceuticals’ expanded field sales force, the indication expansion into the CKD market, and the full year impact of the Medicare Part D redesign.”

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results

Product revenues were $12.2 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full-year 2024, product revenues were $36.3 million compared to $13.6 million for the full-year 2023. This represents a 21% increase from the third quarter of 2024 and a 167% increase on an annual basis. The increase was due to an increase in demand for FUROSCIX further into commercial launch.

Cost of product revenues were $4.0 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full-year 2024, cost of product revenues was $11.4 million, compared to $3.8 million for the full-year 2023. The increase was due to an increase in demand for FUROSCIX further into commercial launch, and related manufacturing costs.

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in R&D costs for the fourth quarter was primarily due to a decrease in pharmaceutical development costs, offset by an increase in clinical study costs. For the full-year 2024, R&D expenses were $12.1 million, compared to $11.8 million for the full-year 2023. The increase in R&D costs for the full-year 2024 was primarily due to an increase in clinical study costs, device development costs, and patent costs. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in pharmaceutical development costs, quality consulting, and shipping and storage costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $16.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in SG&A costs for the fourth quarter was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, commercial preparation costs, and patient support. For the full-year 2024, SG&A expenses were $77.6 million, compared to $53.4 million for the full-year 2023. The increase in SG&A costs for the full-year 2024 was primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, commercial preparation costs, costs associated with financing transactions, patient support, professional service costs and FDA user fees. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in insurance costs.

scPharmaceuticals reported a net loss of $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full-year 2024, scPharmaceuticals reported a net loss of $85.1 million, compared to $54.8 million for the full-year 2023.

scPharmaceuticals ended 2024 with $75.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $76.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, scPharmaceuticals’ total shares outstanding was 50,095,689.

INDICATION

FUROSCIX® (furosemide injection), 80 mg/10 mL for subcutaneous use is indicated for the treatment of edema (i.e., congestion, fluid overload, or hypervolemia) in adult patients with chronic heart failure or chronic kidney disease (CKD), including the nephrotic syndrome.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

FUROSCIX is contraindicated in patients with anuria and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to furosemide, any component of the FUROSCIX formulation, or medical adhesives.

Furosemide may cause fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic abnormalities, particularly in patients receiving higher doses, patients with inadequate oral electrolyte intake, and in elderly patients. Serum electrolytes, CO 2 , BUN, creatinine, glucose, and uric acid should be monitored frequently during furosemide therapy.

Excessive diuresis may cause dehydration and blood volume reduction with circulatory collapse and possibly vascular thrombosis and embolism, particularly in elderly patients.

Furosemide can cause dehydration and azotemia. If increasing azotemia and oliguria occur during treatment of severe progressive renal disease, discontinue furosemide.

Cases of tinnitus and reversible or irreversible hearing impairment and deafness have been reported with furosemide. Reports usually indicate that furosemide ototoxicity is associated with rapid injection, severe renal impairment, the use of higher than recommended doses, hypoproteinemia or concomitant therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics, ethacrynic acid, or other ototoxic drugs.

In patients with severe symptoms of urinary retention (because of bladder emptying disorders, prostatic hyperplasia, urethral narrowing), the administration of furosemide can cause acute urinary retention related to increased production and retention of urine. These patients require careful monitoring, especially during the initial stages of treatment.

Contact with water or other fluids and certain patient movements during treatment may cause the On-body Infusor to prematurely terminate infusion. Ensure patients can detect and respond to alarms.

The most common adverse reactions with FUROSCIX administration in clinical trials were site and skin reactions including erythema, bruising, edema, and injection site pain.
