1. | The Company
FibroGen, Inc. (“FibroGen” or the “Company”) was incorporated in 1993 in Delaware and is a leading biopharmaceutical company discovering and developing a pipeline of first-in-class therapeutics. The Company has applied its pioneering expertise in hypoxia-inducible factor (“HIF”) and connective tissue growth factor (“CTGF”) biology to develop innovative medicines for the treatment of anemia, fibrotic disease, and cancer. Roxadustat (FG-4592), the Company’s most advanced product candidate, is an oral small molecule inhibitor of HIF prolyl hydroxylase (“HIF-PH”) activity. Roxadustat has received approval of its New Drug Application (“NDA”) in anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) in dialysis-dependent patients from the National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) of the People’s Republic of China (“China”). In conjunction with our collaboration partners, we have completed the Phase 3 trials of roxadustat intended to support an NDA in the United States (“U.S.”) and a Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) in the European Union for the treatment of anemia in CKD. In collaboration with its partners AstraZeneca AB (“AstraZeneca”) and Astellas Pharma Inc. (“Astellas”), the Company is in the process of preparing the NDA for submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and MAAs for submission to the European Medicines Agency this year. Both the U.S. NDA and European MAA for roxadustat are expected to cover anemia associated with dialysis-dependent CKD and non-dialysis-dependent CKD. The Company is also in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of anemia associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (“MDS”). Pamrevlumab, a human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of CTGF, is advancing towards Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”) and pancreatic cancer, and is currently in a Phase 2 trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (“DMD”). On April 11, 2017, the Company closed a follow-on offering of its common stock. In this offering, the Company sold 5,228,750 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $22.95 per share. Net proceeds from this offering were $115.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.9 million. In addition, the offering expenses were approximately $0.6 million in total. On August 24, 2017, the Company completed another follow-on offering of its common stock. In this offering, the Company sold a total of 9,200,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $40.75 per share. Net proceeds from this offering were $356.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $18.7 million. In addition, the offering expenses were approximately $0.4 million in total.
