Medigene a strong player in immunotherapy 3
Medigene's immunotherapies are tailored to address different types and stages of cancer DCs TCRs TABs DC vaccines TCR-modified T cells T cellspecific mabs low tumour burden high tumour burden unwanted T cells Legend: tumour ; T cell ; DC Vaccine ; TCR-modified T cell ; pathogenic T cell 4
Platform 1: Therapeutic dendritic cell (DC) vaccines DC vaccines Monotherapy or Combination therapies As monotherapies, DC vaccines will likely be most effective for use in patients with minimal residual disease. They can be used in combination therapies for larger tumour burdens and to induce antitumour responses in patients where spontaneous responses have not occurred. Audio-visual DCs TCR-modified T cells Adoptive T cell therapy with TCRs: arms patient-derived T cells ex vivo with suitable T cell receptors that enable them to detect and efficiently kill cancer cells in vivo T cell-specific antibodies T cell-specific antibodies (TABs): deplete unwanted T cells 5
What are Medigene's now generation DC vaccines? maturation cocktail (2nd generation) GM-CSF + IL-4 IL-12 high IL-10 low maturation cocktail with TLR 7/8 agonist now generation mdc monocytes 1st generation immature DCs 2nd generation 7-9-day mature DCs Now generation 3-day polarized mdcs for optimal innate and adaptive immunotherapy 6
Medigene s DC vaccine phase I/II trial in AML Started on 24 March 2015 Trial design: Phase I/II multi-centre, open-label, prospective, non-randomized trial 20 AML patients (6 phase I + 14 phase II) with complete remission after chemotherapy who are not eligible for allo-transplantation Primary objectives: Feasibility and safety Secondary objectives: Induction of immune responses, Control of minimal residual disease (MRD), Clinical response: time to progression (TTP) Vaccinated for 50 weeks and a follow-up period of one year or until progression. 7
Medigene s DC vaccines display optimal properties Optimal biological properties for improved clinical efficacy Defined antigen loading replaces unknowns with peptides and lysates Use of full length antigen requires no need for HLA selection Positive co-stimulatory profile with young 3-day mature dendritic cells Optimal cytokine polarization to induce innate and adaptive responses High yields allow extended vaccination of patients Optimal product characteristics for commercialization 3-day production is cost effective and amenable to automation RNA as source of antigens is versatile, inexpensive and no need for tumour material Single-batch production reduces time, costs and is patient friendly (only one apheresis) Frozen vaccine formulation gives long shelf-life and simplified logistics 8
Platform 2: TCR-modified adoptive T cell therapy DC vaccines Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines: induce the maturation of own, cancer-specific dendritic cells and trigger both T cells and natural killer cells to attack the tumour TCR-modified T cells T cells Large advanced and bulky tumour loads Adoptive cell therapy with TCR-modified lymphocytes allows patients to be given ready-made immune responses with large numbers of activated T cells that are needed to eradicate large tumour burdens. Billions of TCR-modified T cells can be prepared in a matter of weeks. Audio-visual TCRs T cell-specific antibodies T cell- specific antibodies (TABs): deplete unwanted T cells 9
Platform 2: Adoptive T cell therapy with TCR-modified patient T cells for high tumour burden Patient T cells are isolated from blood samples and activated Patient T cells viral-vector mediated TCR transfer TCR-engineered patient T cells with antitumour specificity Appropriate TCR is selected from off-the-shelf library Anti-tumour TCR is introduced using a viral vector Modified T cells are expanded to large numbers in 10-15 days Modified T cells are reinfused into patient 10
Patient T cells are tailored to tumour type using library of therapeutic TCRs Library of therapeutic TCRs (as recombinant vectors) TCR-modified patient T cells AML TCR-1 TCR-2 TCR-3 TCR-4 TCR-5 TCR-6 NSCLC TCR-7 TCR-8 TCR-9 Prostate cancer 11
Medigene's technology delivers high versatility to build library of therapeutic TCRs The Process: T cells to acquire therapeutic TCRs mdc No need for patient blood In vitro system using healthy donors TCRs specific for any HLA and antigen The Product: Therapeutic TCRs to modify patient T cells High affinity without mutation Specific for well selected target antigens Extensively screened for safety Transfer of desired functional activities 12
TCRs allow many more antigens to be targeted compared to CARs TCR/CD3 complex Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) Vα Vβ ε CD3 δ CD3 Cα Cβ γ CD3 ε CD3 ITAM chain CM I: CD28 ITAM chain CM I: CD28 CM II: CD134/CD137 TCRs: Recognize intracellular targets, with many thousands of options Recognition is MHC-restricted CARs: ITAM chain Limited to cell surface antigens, only tens of options Recognition is MHC-independent Adapted from Cartellieri et al, 2010 13
Medigene s threefold value creation along the TCR development chain TCR generation module TCRs GMP production module TCR clinical development programme TCR therapies 1 2 3 Value creation through: 1 2 3 TCR R&D collaborations with external academic/commercial partners TCR product development collaborations with commercial partners Medigene Immunotherapies own TCR product development programme 14
Medigene s TCR-based therapy displays optimal properties Optimal biological properties for improved clinical efficacy TCRs are easily isolated for diverse MHC allotypes and antigens from healthy donors Wide range of affinities allow selection of lead TCRs with optimal sensitivity Natural sequences of lead TCRs with no need for mutation to improve sensitivity Optimal product characteristics for commercialization TCR library allows patients with different MHCs to be included in treatment High safety profile established through extensive in silico, in vitro and in vivo assays TCR-modified T cells display optimal functional characteristics 15
Platform 3: T cell-specific monoclonal antibodies DC vaccines Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines: induce the maturation of own, cancer-specific dendritic cells and trigger both T cells and natural killer cells to attack the tumour TCR-modified T cells T cells Adoptive T cell therapy (TCR): arms patient-derived T cells ex vivo with suitable T cell receptors that enable them to detect and efficiently kill cancer cells in vivo T cell-specific antibodies T cell leukemia and autoimmunity TABs can be used to eliminate unwanted T cells without causing deleterious cytokine storm. Elimination of unwanted T cells can be made while leaving normal T cell immunity intact for pathogen defense. Audio-visual TABs 16
Platform 3: TABs - TCR-specific monoclonal antibodies for removal of misguided or unwanted T cells Full-scope platform for antibody isolation Unique animal models to assess MoA and clinical efficacy Proof-of-principle of technology is established Ongoing studies establish proof-of-concept in pre-clinical models Unwanted T cells: T cell leukemia T cell drivers of autoimmunity TCR-modified T cells: T cell tracking ex vivo T cell removal in vivo 17
Characteristics of Medigene's TAB technology Selective depletion of unwanted T cells with low toxicity by TABs Vector libraries available to make cellular screening reagents HT cellular screening systems have been established and validated Prototype antibodies have been isolated using standard hybridoma methods Unique humanized T cell-bearing mice are available to study effects of TABs in vivo 18
