Biotest products and pipeline

New products at the horizon

Tregalizumab (BT-061)

  • Tregalizumab targets a broad spectrum of autoimmune diseases
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the lead indications
  • Psoriasis has been developed in first phase II studies
  • Currently on hold upon AbbVie request until after opt-in
  • Very good tolerability/safety is a competitive advantage for diseases that require life-long treatment

Current status

  • Production of clinical material for phase III started in 2014 at BPC with improved process
  • Yield approximately doubled
  • Phase IIb in RA ongoing

Tregalizumab (BT-061) Treat 2b study: Patient recruitment completed

  • Treat 2b: phase IIb trial in RA started in autumn 2013
  • Largest clinical trial in Biotest history:
  • 300 patients

  • 86 study centres in 14 countries, including USA, Canada and Europe
  • Recruitment completed in September 2014 (321 patients randomized)
  • Treatment of last patients will be completed end of February 2015
  • Top line data (24 weeks treatment) expected in Q2 2015

Q3 2015: AbbVie decision point on opt-in and start of Phase III

T cell REgulating Arthritis Trial 2b (TREAT 2b)

Civacir® investigational drug product

  • Intravenous Hepatitis C Immunoglobulin (10% concentration)
  • For the prevention of HCV* recurrence in patients undergoing liver transplantation (due to transplantation of HCV damaged liver)
  • Utilizes a short duration of new antivirals to reduce viral load just prior to transplantation
  • Civacir® antibodies neutralise any remaining HCV and protect the transplanted liver

Composition of Civacir®

• HCV mutates faster than HIV and an individual can be infected by several HCV mutant populations

  • Antibodies can be made against all HCV proteins; structural and non-structural
  • Antibody diversity is limited by genetics in any one infected individual, leaving gaps in patient's ability to neutralize HCV

helicase cofactor for NS3

Civacir® has antibody diversity isolated from hundreds of HCV donors with high titres of neutralising antibodies

Civacir® therefore provides a spectrum of antibody protection to neutralise HCV and protect the new liver from infection

Chronic HCV patient´s situation today

  • Status quo: 150 million patients worldwide with chronic HCV infection (liver damage); many patients undiagnosed
  • risk that transplanted liver is re-infected after transplantation

Even with pre-treatment with Sofosbuvir or other new virostatics viral recurrence rate in transplanted patients is still ~40 %

*SVR = sustained viral response; source: Curry et al, AASLD 2013

Ongoing US Civacir® trial (study 988)

  • Evaluation of efficacy, safety & pharmacokinetics of Civacir® in liver transplant recipients
  • 24 centres in North America
  • Leading hepatologists involved in study
  • Enrolling patients infected with HCV genotypes 1 6
  • Study will enrol up to 84 patients

Goal and positioning for Civacir®

  • Civacir® is a save and effective treatment option for patients with undetectable to <100 IU / ml viral load at transplantation
  • Transplantation is feasible as soon as antiviral reduces the viral load to <100 IU / ml:
  • High flexibility in time point of transplantation
  • No lengthy pre-treatment with antivirals required

Goal: the Hepatitis C virus is eradicated, the transplanted liver is protected and the patient is cured

988 Study: Interim Analysis (AASLD 2014 N. Terrault et al.)

Primary Objective

Determine proportion of Civacir® treated subjects with unquantifiable HCV RNA(<43IU/ml) at 22 weeks post liver transplant (LT) compared to the control group

Next update: EASL in April (planned)

SVR = sustained viral response

Haematology: Indatuximab Ravtansine (BT-062)

Targeted mechanism of action:

  • Antibody docks on cancer cell and toxin is then released:
  • Targets cancer cells while healthy cells are very largely spared

  • Clinical development in the lead indication multiple myeloma is continuing

  • Sales potential in multiple myeloma of € 950 m; in triple negative breast cancer and bladder cancer € 1,100 m
  • Very convincing data from this phase II study (combination with Lenalidomide) have been presented at the ASH* conference on 6-9 December 2014
  • Study amended to include new treatment regimen (Pomalidomide/ Dexamethason)

ASH Poster: Indatuximab Ravtansine (BT-062)

  • BT-062 is well tolerated with LenDEX (Lenalidomide/Dexamethason)
  • Very good responses in patients with relapsed and / or refractory multiple myeloma and patients who do not respond to standard therapy
  • Overall response rate (ORR) for MTD is 83% including:
  • 6% complete remissions
  • 37% very good partial remissions
  • 40% partial remissions
  • The data was presented at the 56. ASH conference on 6-9 December 2014 in San Francisco, USA (Kevin R. Kelly, et al.)

ASH = American Society of Haematology MTD = Maximum tolerated dose

Intensive Care Medicine: IgM concentrate and fibrinogen

IgM concentrate

  • IgM concentrate for the treatment of sepsis
  • Unique mechanism of action
  • Over 150 patients treated to date in phase II study

Fibrinogen

  • Fibrinogen for the treatment of severe acute bleeding due to fibrinogen deficiency
  • Phase I/II study ongoing

Vision – our road to 2020

  • Consistent focus on biological drugs for the therapeutic areas of haematology, immunology and intensive care medicine
  • Continuous investment in the development of new therapeutic options
  • Worldwide operations with a strong base in Europe and the US
  • 2020 sales > € 1bn
