Important events in the third quarter and after the reporting period

  • BioInvent announced in July that the upcoming phase I/IIa study of TB-403 will be expanded to include children with Ewing's sarcoma and neuroblastoma in a dose escalation phase of the trial, in addition to the already announced indication medulloblastoma. Further it was announced that late stage negotiations are on-going with a leading clinical network in the US to conduct the trial. The study is planned to commence in Q4 2015.
  • BioInvent announced in September that the company and its partner, the University of Pennsylvania, had decided to expand the planned clinical Phase II study with the antibody BI-505 by, among other things, now also include a control group. This will increase the study data quality and accelerate the path for approval of a potential new drug for multiple myeloma.

Comments from the CEO

"In the past quarter we decided to expand the upcoming clinical studies and thereby get more solid data for two of our projects that have advanced the furthest: BI-505 and TB-403. We are pleased that our discussions with potential partners regarding preclinical and clinical projects have become more concrete.

BI-505 is a potentially groundbreaking treatment for the haematological disease multiple myeloma. Researchers and clinicians at the University of Pennsylvania have shown great interest in our project and are therefore offering to support its continued development with significant resources.

The TB-403 project has also attracted a lot of interest among clinicians, and as a result we have succeeded, in cooperation with our commercial partner Oncurious BV, in attracting a leading clinical network in the US to implement an important efficacy and safety study. It will be conducted on children with life-threatening cancers where current treatments are inadequate. In July we announced that the

planned clinical trial would be expanded to include, in addition to the original indication medulloblastoma, also children with Ewing's sarcoma and children with neuroblastoma.

The interest that leading clinicians who have good knowledge of the needs of healthcare and patients for improved treatments are showing in BI-505 and TB-403 is a strong indication of the project's commercial potential.

In a short time we have transformed BioInvent from a preclinical company into a company with three clinical projects: BI-505, TB-403 and BI-1206, which all are close to launching important clinical trials. All of the planned studies are so-called "open studies" making it possible to follow the results continuously during the course of the study. The new clinical studies have great potential to increase the projects' commercial attractiveness significantly over the next few years," says Michael Oredsson, CEO of BioInvent.

Multiple myeloma (BI-505)

Background

In the western world, an average of 5.6 new cases of multiple myeloma per 100,000 people are registered every year, which is equivalent to around 60,000 new cases a year. Multiple myeloma is an incurable type of cancer and there are no good drugs to prevent the relapses that affect all patients after treatment with drugs or after a stem cell transplant. Expression of an adhesion protein, ICAM-1 (also called CD54), is elevated in myeloma cells, which makes it a suitable target for a drug candidate. The BI-505 drug candidate is a human antibody that specifically binds to the ICAM-1 and affects tumours in two ways – by inducing cell death of myeloma cells and by engaging the patient's immune cells, known as macrophages, to attack myeloma cells. Macrophages are abundant in the bone marrow of myeloma patients, where they are thought to contribute to disease progression and development of resistance to currently available drugs. BI-505 has the ability to get macrophages to attack myeloma cells and has, in several relevant animal models, proved to be more effective at killing tumours than existing drugs. The good safety profile and the effectiveness of the substance against cancer cells that do not bind to tumours, even where these are expressed in low quantities, makes BI-505 especially suitable in preventing multiple myeloma relapses.

Project status

The initial results from the phase I study of BI-505 on patients in advanced stages of multiple myeloma showed that the substance has a good safety profile. In the dosage groups to which extended therapy was offered, about a quarter of these severely ill patients indicated stable disease for at least two

months. This positive effect of BI-505 is in parity with Phase I data for Elotuzumab – a monoclonal antibody against multiple myeloma for which there is positive interim data from Phase III. Results from the phase I study were presented in an international conference on multiple myeloma in Kyoto, Japan, and were published in the scientific journal, Clinical Cancer Research, in February 2015.

The scientific journal, Cancer Cell, presented data showing preclinical proof-of-concept for both BI-505 and for BioInvent's function-based F.I.R.S.T.™ platform. The article presents data showing potent activity of BI-505 in several preclinical multiple myeloma models.

In April 2013 a phase II study in patients with asymptomatic smoldering myeloma was initiated. Asymptomatic multiple myeloma is currently not treated with drugs because the side effects are not acceptable in symptom free patients.

The study has now been prematurely terminated due to a strategic review of the commercial potential of BI-505. BI-505 will be repositioned to target residual disease in combination with modern standardof-care drugs, including stem cell transplantation in patients with myeloma.

A new clinical study in collaboration with Penn Medicine will be initiated to investigate if BI-505 can deepen the response after autologous stem cell transplantation. The Phase II randomized study will include patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and chemotherapy with high-dose melphalan (HDM). The number of patients receiving supplementary treatment with BI-505 will be increased to 45 patients, up from the previously announced 30. In addition, a control group of a total of 45 patients will be added to the study. These patients will receive the standard of care treatment. Altogether the number of patients in the study is being tripled compared to the original plan. The greater patient numbers will allow for a more accurate evaluation of the effect of supplementary therapy with BioInvent's antibody. The study will begin with a safety evaluation of five patients, which is in keeping with the original plan, and will also include an interim analysis. The clinical effect of BI-505 will be evaluated 100 days after transplantation and after one year. All patients will also be monitored for up to five years to evaluate progression-free survival. The study is still expected to be initiated in accordance with the previously announced timetable.

BioInvent has also identified an opportunity to develop BI-505 in other orphan indications, and is evaluating parallel clinical development of these.

BI-505 has received Orphan Drug Designation for the multiple myeloma indication by both the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphatic leukemia (BI-1206)

Background

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is an umbrella term for a group of cancers that develop in the body's lymphatic system. Since lymphatic tissue is present throughout the body, lymphoma can start anywhere. High-grade lymphoma is treated with radiation and/or cytostatic drugs and in many cases with rituximab (Rituxan® , Mabthera® , Roche). Low-grade lymphoma has a better prognosis and treatment is often only initiated once a patient has disease symptoms.

Chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) is an incurable lymphoma that most commonly affects older men. The disease progression is often slow and patients are normally treated with cytostatic drugs, often in combination with monoclonal antibodies. In Europe and North America, around 157,000 people every year are diagnosed with NHL and around 35,000 with CLL.

BioInvent's drug candidate BI-1206 is a fully human antibody aimed at CD32b, an immunosuppressive protein that is overexpressed in patients with lymphoma.

It is well known that CD32b is involved in the development of resistance to current state-of-the-art treatments for NHL and CLL – rituximab. In models for different cancers, CD32b has also been shown to be involved in the development of resistance to treatment with other antibodies. BI-1206 therefore has a very interesting mechanism with the potential for use in both NHL and CLL, as well as other cancers. As BI-1206 blocks the immunosuppressant effect of CD32b, the immune system can be stimulated, which can strengthen the therapeutic effect of both rituximab as well as other antibodybased drugs. Combination therapy with BI-1206 and rituximab in clinically relevant animal models with tumour cells from patients with NHL has demonstrated significantly improved antitumour effects compared to monotherapy with rituximab. A series of studies have shown that as many as half of the cancer patients who responded to an initial rituximab treatment proved to be resistant to the drug at relapse, which indicates a significant need for improved therapies for these patients. Combination therapy therefore has the potential to significantly improve the treatment of patients with this disease. BI-1206 has also shown a strong ability to kill lymphoma cells in preclinical models using tumour cells

taken directly from patients. The results indicate that BI-1206 may have the potential to be used as a monotherapy.

Project status

In January 2015 BioInvent entered into an agreement with Cancer Research UK (CRUK), Cancer Research Technology (CRT) and Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research (LLR) on implementation of a phase I/II study with BI-1206 in patients with CLL and NHL. The first study in patients will be financed and executed by CRUK, CRT and LLR. BioInvent has the opportunity to utilise an exclusive licence for the study data in return for low milestone payments and royalties paid to Cancer Research Technology.

The plan is for this open phase I study to include 50–60 patients who will be treated either with BI-1206 in combination with rituximab or only BI-1206.

Data from clinically relevant animal models showing that BI-1206 has a tumour supressing effect – and can also overcome resistance to antibody treatment – has been an important basis in the design of the study. This data was published in the respected scientific journal Cancel Cell in April 2015.

Patients with CLL with be recruited first, but smaller groups of patients with different types of NHL, such as mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma, may also be included in the study.

Alongside this clinical study, preclinical studies will continue, principally focused on proving the combination effects of BI-1206 and CD38 antibodies within multiple myeloma. CD38 antibodies constitute a new, very promising class of drug where several products are pending for market approval in the multiple myeloma indication. Despite proven good effects in clinical studies, the data indicates that patients develop resistance to these new antibodies as well. This shows that there is a need to complement this class of drugs to optimise the treatment of patients. Studies will also be made regarding CD32b expression in subpopulations within NHL will be done, with the potential to identify the optimal population for treatment with BI-1206 in further clinical development.

Medulloblastoma (TB-403)

Background

Medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma and Ewing's sarcoma are life-threatening, debilitating cancer diseases that exclusively affect children and adolescents. The diseases are rare and are diagnosed in a total of approximately 20 individuals per million and year. Preclinical data from medulloblastoma models using the monoclonal antibody TB-403 indicates the potential for better clinical results for these patients than with available therapies. The antibody will therefore be evaluated in a clinical study for these indications.

The TB-403 drug project is conducted in cooperation with Oncurious, a subsidiary of the Belgian biopharma company ThromboGenics. BioInvent is paying half of the development costs and has the right to 40 percent of all future revenue from the project.

Project status

A new clinical study with TB-403 in children with medulloblastoma will start in the fourth quarter of 2015 and in parallel preclinical work is on going to better understand the mechanism of action of TB-403. The decision to launch a new clinical trial and further preclinical evaluations is based on new knowledge about the antibody's mechanism of action, which is described in an article published by Jain et al in the respected journal Cell. The antibody TB-403 has demonstrated an excellent safety profile in previous clinical trials in patients with liver cancer and glioblastoma.

BioInvent announced in July that the upcoming phase I/IIa study of TB-403 will be expanded to include children with Ewing's sarcoma and children with neuroblastoma in a dose escalation phase of the trial. Late stage negotiations are on-going with a leading clinical network in the US to conduct the trial. Preclinical studies evaluating the effect of the antibody in models for neuroblastoma are ongoing, a type of tumor with many similarities to medulloblastoma.

The relatively high development risk of the project is being weighed against the favourable safety profile that TB-403 has demonstrated in earlier trials. The planned study's low development cost and the potential through orphan drug designation to obtain a faster regulatory process justifies the investment.

Preclinical projects

BioInvent's preclinical research is aimed at expanding the Company's portfolio of drug candidates. Since 2012 the Company has focused its own research resources entirely on cancer. Over the past decade the Company has accumulated a significant body of experience of disease models within cancer biology and tumour immunology. The basis of the preclinical research are the experimental models used to identify the most effective and potent antibody candidates. These models make it possible to simultaneously conduct an extensive study of the safety and tolerability of the antibody, based on the biology of the disease and the mechanism of action of the antibody.

BioInvent's research is aimed at developing antibodies with the ability to kill tumour cells through apoptosis (programmed cell death) or by activating the body's own immune system. With the help of the F.I.R.S.T.™ platform, the Company is actively seeking new drug candidates for the treatment of different cancers. BioInvent collaborates with leading Swedish and international academic groups to gain access to new therapeutic concepts for the treatment of serious haematological and solid cancers, which can serve as a basis for the development of new projects. One example is a partnership with Professor Martin Glennie and Professor Mark Cragg and their team at the University of Southampton with whom BioInvent is conducting several parallel collaborative immuno-oncology projects.

Employee Incentive Programme

Employee Incentive Programme 2011/2015

The 2011 Annual General Meeting voted in favour of complementing the already established Employee Incentive Programme 2008/2012 aimed at newly employed senior executives and key individuals not participating in Employee Incentive Programme 2008/2012. The number of employee options was within the framework of the number of options still not exercised in Employee Incentive Programme 2008/2012, including previous supplementary programmes.

Each employee option entitles the holder to acquire 1.163 new shares in BioInvent for a subscription price of SEK 26.13 up to 1 December 2015. Subscription price and number of shares that each employee option entitles to are converted pursuant to rights issues carried out. Under the programme 48,105 employee options have been allotted.

Employee Incentive Programme 2013/2017

The 2013 Annual General Meeting voted in favour of establishing a new, long-term employee incentive programme involving the allotment of a maximum of 900,000 employee options free of charge to all Group employees.

The employees will receive options based on their performance in the 2013, 2014 or 2015 financial years and allotment will take place in connection with the publication of the year-end financial statement for the subsequent year. Each employee option will entitle the holder to acquire 1.157 new share in BioInvent for a subscription price of SEK 3.04 during the period from the date of publication of the Company's year-end financial statement for the 2016 financial year up to and including 1 December 2017. Subscription price and number of shares that each employee option entitles to are converted pursuant to rights issues carried out. Allotment of 100,747 employee options took place in February 2014 and 74,516 employee options took place in February 2015.

To guarantee BioInvent's commitment and cover the costs associated with Employee Incentive programme 2013/2017, the 2013 Annual General Meeting resolved to issue a maximum of 1,182,780 warrants to BioInvent Finans AB.

If fully exercised, Employee Incentive Programme 2011/2015 and Employee Incentive Programme 2013/2017 will represent a dilution equivalent to around 0.8 percent of the shares in the Company.

Review report

Introduction

We have reviewed the summarised interim financial information for BioInvent International AB (publ) on 30 September and for the nine month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the group's part according to IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company's part according to the Annual Accounts Act.

Forward looking information

This interim report contains statements about the future, consisting of subjective assumptions and forecasts for future scenarios. Predictions for the future only apply as of the date they are made and are, by their very nature, in the same way as research and development work in the biotech segment, associated with risk and uncertainty. With this in mind, the actual out-come may deviate significantly from the scenarios described in this press release.

Information disclosed in this interim report is provided herein pursuant to the Swedish Securities Markets Act and/or the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was submitted for publication at 8.40 a.m. CET, on 22 October, 2015.
