Phase I program studies healthy volunteers and patients

Phase 1 protocol in healthy volunteers

  • Part B commences Q2 2021

  • Part A: HV SAD Part B: HV MAD • Treatment complete end 2021

  • Blinded/placebo controlled Blinded/ Placebo controlled • Safety data supports Phase II/

  • 0.01-20 mg/kg single dose ✓ 5-15 mg/kg every 2 weeks FDA IND application in all AD-214 7 cohorts, 42 pts 3 cohorts, 12 – 24 pts indications (iv route)

Phase 1b protocol in patients with IPF/ILD and other fibrotic diseases

  • Protocol in preparation*

  • Anticipated to commence (with first images) Q3 2021

  • Demonstrates AD-214 distribution and CXCR4 receptor occupancy in tissue

  • Determines impact of disease on PK and RO parameters of AD-214

  • Multiple CXCR4 mediated indications in combination with SoC**

  • Multi-dose arm approaches Phase II treatment duration

Arm 1: PET screening of fibrotic diseases Open label with SoC 1-2 PET-CT sequences ~12 patients (~6 IPF/ILD) CXCR4 disease Arm 2: Multi-dose in IPF/ILD Open label with SoC Max 6 doses, 5-10mg/kg over 18 weeks ~6 patients +/- PET imaging

  • Supported by Safety Management Committee, subject to HREC approval

7

** Standard of Care (includes pirfenidone, nintadanib or non-pharmacologic intervention)

Preliminary healthy volunteer single dose results

AD-214 has an excellent safety profile

  • No dose limiting toxicities or adverse events of clinical concern

  • No concerning clinical laboratory results

  • Consistent with Non-Human Primate (NHP) toxicology studies

AD-214 engages the CXCR4 receptor

  • Clear markers of target (CXCR4) engagement observed

Receptor occupancy sustained at high levels for extended periods

  • Supportive of longer dosing interval than projected from NHP if replicated in patients

Enabled redesign of remainder of Phase I program to:

  • Explore more clinically convenient dosing interval

  • Deliver Phase II IND ready safety for multiple indications

  • • Explore multiple doses in patients over longer period

8

Single dose of AD-214 is well tolerated

Adverse events (unblinded data)

Immune response*

  • No dose limiting adverse events

  • No serious adverse events

  • Isolated incidences of minor cytokine elevation - Transient and primarily low level elevation of IL-6 and IL-8 in some participants (including placebos)

  • No concerning clinical laboratory results

  • No clinically significant cytokine release

  • Dose escalation steps completed without concern

    • Antidrug antibodies: detected in 11 participant

      • Predominantly low titre

      • Characterisation pending

  • Adverse events were non-concerning

  • Predominantly mild

  • No clinical symptoms related to immune response observed

  • Three Grade 2 (moderate) adverse events

Pharmacokinetics

  • Peak and total AD-214 exposure increases in a dose proportional or more manner to 20 mg/kg

  • • Elimination half-life 44 15 hours at 20 mg/kg±

  • Based on unblinded data, active drug participants assumed to be those for whom pharmacokinetic Cmax was determined

9

Transient white blood cell and blood stem cell increases indicate CXCR4 engagement

Observed in NHP GLP toxicology

  • Transient increase in white cell counts (WCC) and

  • blood stem cell (CD34+) cell counts

==> picture [6 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

Observed in Phase I HV SAD*

  • Transient, dose dependent, increase in WCC and

  • CD34+ counts at 4-12 hours consistent with CXCR4 blockade

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

Observed in NHP GLP toxicology

  • 50% CXCR4 receptor occupancy (RO) on T cells at four

  • days after infusion of 10-20 mg/kg

==> picture [6 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

Observed*

  • Dose dependent level and duration of RO

==> picture [6 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • 70% CXCR4 RO at 7 days after 5-10 mg/kg infusion

==> picture [6 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • 60% CXCR4 RO at 21 days after 20 mg/kg infusion**

==> picture [6 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

  • Duration of RO is considerably longer than PK profile

==> picture [6 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

If replicated on CXCR4 receptors in fibrotic tissues, result supports extended dosing intervals despite relatively rapid clearance from circulation

  • Based on unblinded data, incudes participants for whom PK Cmax was determined, placebo excluded ** Receptor occupancy was monitored for one week at all dose levels except 20 mg/kg (4 weeks)

Lead indication IPF: $3b market, poor options

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is irreversible, unpredictable, incurable >300,000 people living with IPF 40,000 people die from IPF every year 3.8 years median survival after diagnosis Current treatments come with safety, efficacy limitations

==> picture [405 x 293] intentionally omitted <==

Burden of fibrotic lung disease following COVID-19 likely to be high “Antifibrotic therapies could have value preventing severe COVID-19 in IPF patients and preventing fibrosis after SARS-CoV-2 infection”*

12 * PM George, et al , “Pulmonary fibrosis and COVID-19: the potential role for antifibrotic therapy”, Lancet published online May 15, 2020

A clinician’s perspective on AD-214 results so far

==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Un-met need in IPF/ILD remains: need to progress new therapies

==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Research at The Alfred suggests if targeting CXCR4 works in IPF it may work in other ILD’s

==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

  • AD-214 is well tolerated and ready to move forward into multi-dose studies in healthy

  • volunteers and patients

==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The data is supportive of extending dosing interval to two weekly at least

==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

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

==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

Key insights anticipated from multidose and early patient studies (in addition to safety):

  • CXCR4 receptor engagement in tissue

  • Nature of the anti-drug antibodies that are expected with a biologic

  • Further characterisation of biomarker responses: CD34+, white cells, SDF-1a
