MELBOURNE Australia, 15 December 2021: AdAlta Limited (ASX:1AD), the clinical stage biotechnology company developing novel therapeutic products from its i-body platform is pleased to announce a healthy, replenished cash position, progress on its collaboration with Carina Biotech and its current corporate presentation in addition to a successful institutional placement (Placement) announced separately today.
AdAlta's CEO, Dr Tim Oldham commented,
"AdAlta’s strengthened cash balance positions us well to maximise near term development milestones. The progress on AD-214 announced today and last week continue to support the potential efficacy of AD-214 in fibrotic diseases as well as the feasibility of a patient preferred, inhaled new treatment for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Disease. We have a number of development milestones planned for AD-214 during the first half of 2022 and the achievement of those is expected to steadily increase the value of AD-214 to partners. We also anticipate making meaningful progress on our two partnered programs with Carina and GE Healthcare during the same period.”
Cash position
AdAlta’s cash balance at 30 November 2021 was A$6.46 million (A$6.77 million at 31 October 2021), reflecting operating expenses for the quarter to date offset by the net A$0.89 million received from the Company’s annual R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI) rebate (announced November 2021). This is in addition to the A$3.75 million Placement announced separately today.
CAR-T program progress
AdAlta entered a collaboration agreement with Carina Biotech in August 2021 to develop precision engineered, i-body-enabled CAR-T (iCAR-T) cell products against five solid tumour targets. The two companies have now executed a research plan, with Carina Biotech to discover and develop iCAR-T cells against the first target under the collaboration. The iCAR-T cells are expected to be created in the first half of calendar 2022 with in vitro cytotoxicity results expected in the second half. The parties aim to finalise the research plan against the second target in the first quarter of calendar 2022.

Notes
About AdAlta
AdAlta Limited is a clinical stage drug development company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. The Company is using its proprietary i-body technology platform to solve challenging drug targeting problems and generate a promising new class of single domain antibody protein therapeutics with the potential to treat some of today’s most challenging medical conditions.
The i-body technology mimics the shape and stability of a unique and versatile antigen binding domain that was discovered initially in sharks and then developed as a human protein. The result is a range of unique proteins capable of interacting with high selectivity, specificity and affinity with previously difficult to access targets such as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are implicated in many serious diseases. i-bodies are the first fully human single domain antibody scaffold and the first based on the shark motif to reach clinical trials.
AdAlta has completed Phase I clinical studies for its lead i-body candidate, AD-214, that is being developed for the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and other human fibrotic diseases for which current therapies are sub-optimal and there is a high unmet medical need.
The Company is also entering collaborative partnerships to advance the development of its i-body platform. It has an agreement with GE Healthcare to co-develop i-bodies as diagnostic imaging agents against Granzyme B, a biomarker of response to immunooncology drugs, a program now in preclinical development. It also has a collaboration with Carina Biotech to co-develop precision engineered, i-body enabled CAR-T cell therapies to bring new hope to patients with cancer.
AdAlta’s strategy is to maximise the products developed using its next generation i-body platform by internally discovering and developing selected i-body enabled product candidates against GPCRs implicated in fibrosis, inflammation and cancer and partnering with other biopharmaceutical companies to develop product candidates against other classes of receptor, in other indications, and in other product formats.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)
AdAlta’s first target, already a $3b market, is a degenerative, fatal disease in dire need of improved treatment options: i-bodies have been designed to target a novel mode of action to address this medical need
In IPF, scarring and stiffening 3.8 years of the lungs progressively and median survival after diagnosis irreversibly reduces lung function
Despite being poorly tolerated and having difficult side effects, the two current therapies sell $3b per year
>300,000 people living with IPF, It is irreversible
40,000 people die from IPF every year
Burden of fibrotic lung disease following COVID-19 likely to be high.* “Long COVID” is a developing issue – potentially further increasing the need for better anti-fibrotic drugs.

Shark antibody binding domain with unique long loop
Two binding loops are engineered onto 2 the human protein. These enable tight binding to the drug target and have a therapeutic effect
==> picture [114 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
A human protein that is structurally equivalent to the shark single domain antibody is the backbone or scaffold protein of the i-body
3 Each unique i-body has different binding loops. AdAlta’s i-body library has 10[10] unique i-bodies
i-body is the combination of a human protein that mimics the structural features of the shark antibody with unique long loop binding sites
The long CDR3 loop of the i-body confers exceptional targeting and binding properties, providing therapeutic access to drug targets that have evaded traditional monoclonal antibodies
Drug targets include G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), currently the most heavily investigated class of drug targets in the body

Sustained high levels of CXCR4 receptor occupancy on T cells
==> picture [335 x 289] intentionally omitted <==
White blood cells naturally express CXCR4 in healthy individuals, providing an accessible surrogate for AD-214 target engagement or receptor occupancy (RO)
Understanding duration of RO is critical to inform dosing
Primary
-
70% CXCR4 RO at 7 days after 5-10 mg/kg infusion • >60% CXCR4 RO at 21 days after 20 mg/kg infusion*
• Duration of RO is considerably longer than PK profile
If replicated on CXCR4 receptors in fibrotic tissues, result supports extended dosing intervals despite relatively rapid clearance from circulation

Phase II planned with inhaled formulation
Delivery of AD-214 by inhalation has potential to improve bioavailability, be more convenient for patients, be more cost effective, and improve partnering flexibility
==> picture [146 x 282] intentionally omitted <==
-
AD-214 delivered direct to fibrotic areas
-
• First pass liver clearance avoided
-
Improved bioavailability • Dosing schedule flexibility to optimise receptor coverage
-
• Self administration (no scheduled clinic

A clinician’s perspective on AD-214 results so far
-
Un-met need in IPF/ILD remains – need to progress new therapies
-
Research at The Alfred suggests if targeting CXCR4 works in IPF it may work in other ILD’s
-
AD-214 is well tolerated and ready to move forward into multi-dose studies in healthy volunteers and patients
-
The data is supportive of extending dosing interval to two weekly at least
-
AdAlta approach is methodical and appropriate
-
PET imaging strategy is particularly important as an innovative way to explore target engagement and mode of action in diseased tissue
-
Key insights anticipated from multidose and early patient studies (in addition to safety):
Prof Glen Westall leading respiratory and lung fibrosis specialist
-
CXCR4 receptor engagement in tissue
