BASKING RIDGE, NJ, May 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Timber" or the "Company") (NYSE:TMBR), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for rare and orphan dermatologic diseases, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

John Koconis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Timber, commented, "In the first quarter Timber continued to advance on all of its programs.

In January, we announced that the Phase 2b CONTROL Study of Congenital Ichthyosis for our lead asset, TMB-001, had reached 50% enrollment. The Company anticipates topline data readout in the third quarter of 2021 for the TMB-001 study. The Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating TMB-002 (topical rapamycin) for the treatment of facial angiofibromas (FAs) in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) has made significant progress towards its clinical milestones as well.
In March, our development partner on TMB-002, AFT Pharmaceuticals, entered into a licensing agreement for TMB-002 (trade name Pascomer®) in Europe with a third party. Under Timber's agreement with AFT, Timber is entitled to a significant share of the royalties and milestones from the third party agreement and we believe that this provides further validation of our program.
Also in January, we received confirmation that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") had granted orphan drug designation for TMB-003, Timber's locally delivered formulation of sitaxsentan, for the treatment of systemic sclerosis.
All three of our programs now have orphan status and we expect continued progress on the clinical front, which is now being led by the Company's new Chief Medical Officer, Alan Mendelsohn, M.D. who joined our team in January 2021.
Timber ended the first quarter with $8.5 million cash and common shares outstanding of 36.7 million at March 31, 2021.

We look forward to holding our first shareholder meeting as a public company on June 3^rd, 2021 for shareholders of record as of April 12, 2021," concluded Mr. Koconis.

For Timber's complete financial results for the period ended March 31, 2021, see the Company's quarterly Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2021.
