Notes to Editors
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.
AdAlta is conducting Phase 1 clinical studies for its lead i-body candidate, AD-214. AD-214 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 discover i-bodies as
==> picture [595 x 83] intentionally omitted <==
diagnostic imaging agents against Granzyme B, a biomarker of response to immunooncology drugs.
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
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.

Immuno-oncology (I/O) drugs reactivate the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer US$95 billion I/O market[1]
PET imaging biomarkers of an activated immune system can help identify responders early: reduces cost, improves choice of therapy, accelerates drug development
Only 20-40% of patients respond to I/O drugs[2]
PET imaging agents have substantially shorter development time than therapeutics

GZMB i-body asset: GE Healthcare co-development collaboration
Second asset poised to enter pre-clinical development; and could generate royalty revenue sooner than a therapeutic
AdAlta and GE Healthcare are co-developing a PET imaging agent against granzyme B (GZMB)
==> picture [156 x 32] intentionally omitted <==
Granzyme B can be used as a biomarker to show whether cancer immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors, are working effectively
This would significantly improve therapy selection/patient outcomes and reduce cost
GE Healthcare funded discovery at AdAlta, and will now progress GZMB i-bodies through pre-clinical and clinical development and commercialisation
Total development time substantially shorter than therapeutics
May 2021 status
-
Panel of GZMB i-bodies identified, now progressing to pre-clinical development
-
A$1.4 million revenue earned to date (milestones and research fees). AdAlta will generate additional research fees assisting with pre-clinical and manufacturing development

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
- Receptor occupancy was monitored for one week at all dose levels except 20 mg/kg (4 weeks)

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):

tight binding to the drug target
and have a therapeutic effect

==> picture [114 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
A human protein that is the same shape as the shark antibody is the backbone or scaffold protein of the i-body
3 Each unique i-body has different binding loops. The i-body library has 20 billion unique i-bodies
i-body is the combination of a human protein that mimics the shape of the shark antibody with unique long loop binding sites
The long loops of the i-body have 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, and CXCR4 which is present in IPF
