ASX Announcement

AD-214 Phase I study: positive data expands opportunities for AdAlta

MELBOURNE Australia, 10 March 2021: AdAlta Limited (ASX:1AD), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical discovery and development company using i-body technology to address challenging drug targets is hosting an investor briefing at 1100 AEDT today to discuss top line results from Part A of its Phase I clinical program studying single ascending doses (SAD) of lead asset AD-214 in healthy volunteers (HVs).

Highlights of the briefing include:

  • Part A of the AD-214 Phase I program (HV SAD) has been successfully completed

  • AD-214 is very well tolerated in single doses up to 20 mg/kg in healthy volunteers

  • • AD-214 engages its target receptor, CXCR4, and sustains higher levels of receptor occupancy for longer than predicted

  • These results enable a more efficient program for the remainder of Phase I, generating more data more rapidly for the same cost

  • Part B will now be a multiple ascending dose study in HVs, enabling a safety package supportive of a Phase II US FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) application to be obtained by end of 2021

  • A longer dosing interval will be explored for clinical convenience

  • Patient studies will be conducted under a separate Phase Ib protocol incorporating a radio-labelled version of AD-214 for PET imaging. This achieves the originally planned exploration of the effect of elevated CXCR4 in Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients on AD-214 safety, pharmacokinetics and receptor occupancy. In addition, this protocol may also explore distribution of AD-214 in other fibrotic indications, the effect of AD-214 when administered over 18 weeks, and the safety of AD-214 when used in combination with standard of care therapies. This data could support expansion into additional indications.

  • This clinical validation of the i-body platform is anticipated to increase partner interest in both AD-214 and co-development opportunities, contributing significantly to the acceleration of AdAlta’s asset creation strategy. The Company aims to have 9 products in discovery research through to Phase II by the end of 2023.

The presentation to be discussed at the briefing is attached. A limited number of online seats to the briefing are still available: register to receive a link to the briefing via [email protected].

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. 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 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 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.

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

Enables 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

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

  • 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)

Why targeting CXCR4 could improve IPF/ILD outcomes

Observation

Significance

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

CXCR4 is up-regulated in ILD patients as well as IPF patients

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

If AD-214 works in IPF it is more likely to work in ILD as well … and there are at least as many non-IPF ILD patients as IPF patients

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

  • CXCR4 is upregulated in epithelial and

  • myeloid cells in fibrotic tissue

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

  • Epithelial cells trigger the fibrosis cascade:

  • blocking CXCR4 could have a broader effect than simply shutting down collagen deposition

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

CXCR4 also mediates migration of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells such as macrophages in a disease specific way

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

  • Blocking CXCR4 may also have an immune

  • 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

Advantages of amended Phase I design

• Early data on effect of elevated CXCR4 on AD-214 distribution and receptor occupancy in Preserves diseased tissue remains on track for Q3 2021 original • Explores potential for longer dosing intervals objectives • Provides insight to mode of actionFull Phase II IND ready HV safety package by end 2021 , independent of IPF/ILD recruitment Speed • IPF/ILD patient study is easier to recruit , more flexible • Parallel design enables shorter total Phase I program

• HV safety package suitable for all intravenous indications New • IPF/ILD patient study generates preliminary safety data in combination with SoC options • 6 doses over 18 weeks in IPF/ILD study may provide initial indication of efficacy created • IPF/ILD study may demonstrate distribution, target engagement in other CXCR4 indications Cost • No material impact on overall study cost or 2021 cash requirements impact
