Research & development
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

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
