Nantes, France – February 15, 2023, 6:00 p.m. CET – OSE Immunotherapeutics SA (ISIN: FR0012127173; Mnemo: OSE) today provides a regulatory update on the clinical development plan of Tedopi®, an immunotherapy activating tumor specific T-cells, in phase 3 in monotherapy in advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after checkpoint inhibitor failure (ICI).
Nicolas Poirier, Chief Executive Officer of OSE Immunotherapeutics, comments:
"We are pleased with the positive outcomes from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Type C Meeting following the supportive European Medicines Agency (EMA) advice, as we are actively preparing a confirmatory phase 3 trial to support the regulatory registration of Tedopi®.
Leveraging on the positive data on efficacy, safety and quality of life from the initial phase 3 randomized trial in third line post-chemotherapy followed by an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), we are committed in advancing the clinical development for Tedopi® as a potential new standard of care in monotherapy in second line for advanced or metastatic lung cancer patients in secondary resistance to ICI now used in first line. No therapeutic options have yet been approved to date in this patient population with high unmet medical needs."
Both Agencies supported the continuation of the clinical development for Tedopi® through a new confirmatory phase 3 clinical trial versus standard of care in second line treatment for HLA-A2+ patients in advanced in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
OSE Immunotherapeutics is thus progressing on the protocol development for the next confirmatory phase 3 pivotal trial to support the regulatory registration of Tedopi® in second line. This upcoming phase 3 is planned for HLA-A2+ patients with secondary resistance to immunotherapy (IO) after a first line of chemo-IO followed by failure to maintenance IO of at least 12 weeks (defined as the threshold for secondary/acquired resistance by international expert consensus recommendations). The protocol design is developed with the support of the international NSCLC clinician experts' group which were already involved in the previous phase 3 ATALANTE trial.
Tedopi® is the first cancer vaccine to show positive and clinically meaningful efficacy results associated with a better safety and quality of life profile in monotherapy versus active comparator
(chemotherapy-based standard of care) in third line with secondary resistance to ICI in advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
The results from the first phase 3 trial (ATALANTE) in a clearly defined target population are based on a strong biological rationale: increased specific T-cell responses induced by Tedopi®'s innovative mechanism of action correlated to the overall survival in HLA-A2+ NSCLC patients. The direct activation of tumor specific T-cells by Tedopi® differs from ICI releasing the break of immune response.
OSE Immunotherapeutics is committed to provide Tedopi® through cohort early access and nominative compassionate use programs across European countries to address patients' needs alongside physicians' engagement.
The French National Authority for Health issued a negative decision on the cohort early access program in third line treatment related to the COVID crisis which led to the suspension of patient inclusion in the previous phase 3 ATALANTE and the consecutive primary analysis on a population of interest with secondary resistance.
Patients can benefit from Tedopi® through compassionate use programs in third or further lines of treatment (post chemotherapy and immunotherapy) currently approved in France, Italy and Spain, confirming thereby the significant medical need for new therapeutic alternatives.
Tedopi® is currently being evaluated in phase 2 combination trials in three indications:
* Compassionate use is a treatment option that allows for the use of an unauthorized medicine. Under strict conditions, products in development can be made available to nominative patients who have a disease with no
satisfactory authorized therapies and who cannot enter clinical trials(https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/humanregulatory/research-development/compassionate-use).
