Advancing first-in-class Oncology Therapies

CM-24 – Inhibitor of CEACAM1

CM-24 Immune checkpoint inhibitor

Targets a Novel Immune Checkpoint

  • · First-in-class mAb blocking CEACAM1
  • Conceptually analogous to anti-PD(L)1

Demonstrated Efficacy in Preclinical Models

  • · Enhances anti-tumor immune activity through multiple pathways
  • · Demonstrated sunergy with anti- PD(L)1

Well Tolerated in a Clinical Trial

  • . Studied as a monotherapy in a phase 1
  • · Doses up to 10 mg/kg

Phase 1/2 Trial to start in 2020

  • In combination with nivolumab (Opdivo®) in NSCLC
  • · Starting at dose of 8mg/kg

CEACAM1 Plays a pivotal role in the immune system

  • · CEACAM1 (Carcinoembryonic Antigen Cell Adhesion Molecule 1) - member of the Human CEA Family
  • · Conceptually, analogous to PD-1/PDL-1
  • · Interacts with both CEACAM1 and CEACAM5
  • · Regulates TIM-3-mediated tolerance and exhaustion *
  • · High expression in tumor and in tumorinfiltrating immune cells

"Gray-Owen and Blumberg, CEACAM1: contact-dependent control of immunity, Nature Review Immunology , 2006, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/m/1864

CEACAM1 and TIM-3

By blocking CEACAM-1 heterodimerization with TIM-3, immune exhaustion of T-cells is

abrogated, allowing cooperative tumor inhibition

  • · TIM-3 is co-expressed and forms a heterodimer with CEACAM1
  • · The presence of CEACAM1 endows TIM-3 with inhibitory function
  • · CEACAM1-deficient T cells are hyper-inflammatory with reduced cell surface expression of TIM-3
  • · Anti-CEACAM-1 combined with anti-TIM3 showed significant prevention of tumor growth in aggressive tumor model (CT26 mouse CRC)

CEACAM-1 + TIM3 combination introduces an innovative approach to TIM-3 regulation

ng et al, CEACAM1 regulates TIM-3-medioted tolerance and exhaustion; Nature, 2015 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/noture13848

CM-24 MOA: Blocks CEACAM1-mediated interactions

  • · CM-24 is a humanized IgG4 mAb highly specific to the extracellular domain of CEACAM1 with Nano-molar affinity
  • · CM-24 prevents CEACAM1-CEACAM1 or CEACAM1-CEACAM5 interaction, thus enhancing the cytotoxic activity of the lymphocytes

Anti-Cancer Effect Following Treatment with CM-24 + TIL and CM-24 + Anti-PD1

100

CM-24 Phase 1 Monotherapy Trial

  • · Open-label, multi-dose escalation study to assess safety and tolerability of CM-24
  • · Conducted by Merck in 4 centers US: UCLA, Yale; Israel: Sheba, Sourasky
  • · Heavily pre-treated patients with a median of 3 prior regimens (range 2-7) and a median of 4 prior regimens at the 3mg/kg & 10mg/kg doses

✓ No DLTs up to 10 mg/kg √ No discontinuation of study drug due to an AE √ No drug related mortalities √ 29.6% SD (RECIST)

Overall, treatment with CM-24 was well tolerated

Merck Concluded that Saturation Likely Requires > 10mg/kg

Merck models simulated to characterize TMDD saturation

Simulated TMDD saturation at Ctrough with Q2W regimen

· Consistent with observed PK showing high clearance at doses <10 mg/kg, plot shows low TMDD saturation at low doses

· 10 mg/kg approaches > 90% saturation but >10 mg/kg dose is needed for saturation across population

· Keytruda®'s administration regimen is Q3W

· With Q3W, 10 mg/kg is predicted to achieve only > 50% saturation

The simulation suggests CM-24 administered Q2W (similar to BMS' Opdivo®) is expected to saturate the target with dosing at 20 mg/kg

Market opportunity: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Rationale for combining Opdivo® + CM-24

  • · Preclinical data supports significant synergistic benefit
  • · Receptor saturation with CM-24 is better achieved with a Q2W regimen and is aligned with the Opdivo® protocol
  • · Collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb, a leader in immuno-Oncology (I/O) research, to address an urgent need

Targeting the unmet medical need

  • · Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 85% of all lung cancer diagnoses, approx. 193,927 new cases/year; with a 5-year relative survival rate of 23%*
  • · Immunotherapy is now recommended as second line therapy in all patients with NSCLC and no driver mutations**
  • · 5-year overall survival rates with chemotherapy in 2L is 2.6% and with I/O Opdivo® is 13.4%**

Opdivo® + CM-24 has the potential to provide long lasting effective treatment

CM-24 Accelerated Biomarker-driven Clinical Development

1. In a clinical collaboration with Bristol Myers-Squibb

  • · A Phase 1/2 open label multi center study of CM-24 in combination with nivolumab (Opdivo®) in NSCLC
      1. Dose escalation starting at 8mg/kg
      1. Expansion cohort
  • · Primary endpoint: Evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and to-determine the MTD
  • · Secondary endpoint: Obtain preliminary efficacy data
  • · Measurement of CEACAM1 expression levels to identify a potential correlative biomarker

  1. Exploring further studies in other tumor types as well as monotherapy

NT219 – Dual inhibitor of IRS 1/2 and STAT3

NT-219 Drug Resistance Prevention

Unique MoA

Inhibits two key resistance signaling proteins: IRS1/2 and STAT3

Efficacious in Multiple PDX Models

Prevents, delay and reverses resistance to anti-cancer drugs in Head and Neck, Colon, Lung, and Pancreatic cancers models

Enhances Every Treatment Regimen

  • In combination with immuno-oncology, targeted and chemo therapies

Phase 1/2 to Start in Q1:2020

  • First-in-human clinical trial in SCC of the Head and Neck cancer in combination with cetuximab (Erbitux®)

IRS1/2 and STAT3 Role in Cancer Drug Resistance

IRS1/2 and STAT3 are key signal transducers activated as a feedback response to anti-cancer drugs, leading to drug resistance

kıtov

NT-219 MOA: Inhibition of Both STAT3 and IRS is Required to Overcome Resistance

NT219 Prevents Acquired Resistance to Erlotinib

NT219 Reverses Erlotinib-acquired Resistance

NT219 Delays Tumor Recurrence

Market Opportunity: Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck (SCCHN)

Rationale for combining Cetuximab + NT-219

  • EGFR and PD(L)-1 are the only clinically validated targets in SCCHN
  • · Cetuximab inhibits EGFR signaling and promotes ADCC
  • · STAT3 and IRS-to-AKT activation contributes to resistance to cetuximab in HNSCC

Targeting the unmet medical need

  • · 1L Standard of care is shifting from chemotherapy towards immuno-oncology + chemotherapy*
  • · Only < 20% of R/M SCCHN patients respond to anti-PD1s
  • · Number of new cases/year is expected to be 174,000 by 2024

NT-219 + cetuximab has the potential to become an attractive 2-3L therapy

NT-219 Clinical Development Plan

  1. A Phase 1/2 open label multi center study of NT-219 in combination with cetuximab in patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN

    1. Dose escalation
    1. Expansion cohort
  2. · Primary endpoint: Evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and to determine the MTD
  3. · Secondary endpoint: Obtain preliminary efficacy data

  1. Plan to clinically explore NT-219's efficacy in multiple hard-to-treat oncology indications
