Crude Oil Falls Over 3%; Regulus Therapeutics Shares Spike Higher

Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) agreed to acquire Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGLS#NASDAQ">RGLS</a>) on Wednesday for an initial payment of $7.00 per share in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cash or $0.8 billion</a>.
The upfront cash portion of the consideration represents a premium of 274% to Regulus&#8217; 60-day volume-weighted average stock price and 108% to Regulus&#8217; closing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n45095629/regulus-therapeutics-enters-into-agreement-to-be-acquired-by-novartis-ag" rel="noreferrer noopener">price on&nbsp;April 29, 2025</a>.
Regulus is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing microRNA therapeutics for severe renal disease and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

The lead asset for ADPKD, farabursen, is a novel, next-generation oligonucleotide targeting miR-17 that recently completed a Phase 1b multiple-ascending dose clinical trial.
In addition, Regulus shareholders will receive a contingent value right (CVR) providing for payment of&nbsp;$7.00&nbsp;per share, contingent upon the achievement of a milestone regarding the regulatory approval of Regulus&#8217; lead product candidate, farabursen.
If the milestone is achieved, total consideration, including the CVR, would be approximately&nbsp;$1.7 billion.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025. Regulus will continue to operate as a separate and independent company.
In March, Regulus Therapeutics released topline results from all patients in the fourth cohort in its Phase&nbsp;1b&nbsp;MAD study of farabursen <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/03/44519887/regulus-therapeutics-stock-shoots-higher-after-positive-results-from-investigational-drug-for-rare-type-of-kidney-disease" rel="noreferrer noopener">(RGLS8429) for ADPKD</a>.
Cohort 4 data highlights:
<ul>
<li>Increases in urinary PC1 and PC2 levels were similar to cohort 3 and reached a similar level of statistical significance compared to placebo (PC1 p=0.026; PC2 p=0.014).</li>
<li>The mean htTKV growth rate over 4 months was 0.05%, while placebo subjects in the trial experienced a mean growth rate of 2.58%.</li>
<li>Changes in htTKV were highly correlated with changes in renal cyst volume, suggesting farabursen directly impacts disease progression by limiting abnormal cyst growth.</li>
</ul>
Novartis strengthened its kidney disease portfolio after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval for&nbsp;Vanrafia (atrasentan) to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44631273/novartis-secures-third-fda-approval-for-its-kidney-disease-portfolio-in-one-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">rapid disease progression</a>.

Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGLS#NASDAQ">RGLS</a>), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs (the "Company" or "Regulus"), today announced that it has entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Novartis AG ("Novartis") and an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Novartis, pursuant to which Novartis will acquire Regulus for an initial payment of $7.00 per share in cash at closing, or $0.8 billion. The upfront cash portion of the consideration represents a premium of 274 percent to Regulus' 60-day volume-weighted average stock price and 108 percent to Regulus' closing price on April 29, 2025. In addition, Regulus shareholders will receive a contingent value right (CVR) providing for payment of $7.00 per share, contingent upon the achievement of a milestone with respect to regulatory approval of Regulus' lead product candidate, farabursen. Total consideration including the CVR, if the milestone is achieved, would be approximately $1.7 billion. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.
Completion of the transaction is expected in the second half of 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the tender of shares representing at least a majority of the total number of Regulus' outstanding shares, and other customary closing conditions and regulatory clearance. Until that time, Regulus will continue to operate as a separate and independent company.

Regulus Therapeutics Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGLS#NASDAQ">RGLS</a>) released topline results from all patients in the fourth cohort in its Phase&nbsp;1b&nbsp;MAD study of farabursen (RGLS8429) autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">(ADPKD) on Thursday</a>.
In the fourth cohort, 26 subjects received a fixed dose of 300 mg of farabursen every other <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44510746/regulus-therapeutics-announces-successful-completion-of-its-phase-1b-multiple-ascending-dose-mad-c" rel="noreferrer noopener">week for three months</a>.
ADPKD is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, resulting in end-stage renal disease.
The disease is characterized by the development of multiple fluid-filled cysts, primarily in the kidneys.

The full cohort of 26 patients demonstrated a similar mechanistic response based on urinary PC1 and PC2 levels (which inversely correlate with disease severity) and mean halting of htTKV (which inversely correlates with kidney function) growth over the four-month study period.
Cohort 4 data highlights:
<ul>
<li>Increases in urinary PC1 and PC2 levels were similar to cohort 3 and reached a similar level of statistical significance compared to placebo (PC1 p=0.026; PC2 p=0.014).</li>
<li>The mean htTKV growth rate over 4 months was 0.05%, while placebo subjects in the trial experienced a mean growth rate of 2.58%.</li>
<li>Changes in htTKV were highly correlated with changes in renal cyst volume, suggesting farabursen directly impacts disease progression by limiting abnormal cyst growth.</li>
</ul>
An exploratory analysis compared the combination of patients treated with 3 mg/kg or 300 mg fixed dose faburden (n=35) to a combined historical control group of placebo-treated patients from prior pivotal ADPKD trials (n=550).
Farabursen-treated patients experienced a mean reduction in htTKV growth rate (-0.14%) compared to a mean increase of (+1.87%) in placebo-treated patients (p=0.0056).
Farabursen at 300 mg demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile in this study, consistent with earlier cohorts.
RGLS Price Action: Regulus Therapeutics stock is up 51.94% at $1.96 at publication Thursday.
