Improving Treatment for Hereditary Angioedema Berinert[®] Program

Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)

  • C1-esterase inhibitor is the primary control protein of activation of mediators of vascular permeability

  • HAE results from deficiency or dysfunction due to gene mutation

  • i.e. life-long condition

What Happens to Patients?

  • Recurrent episodes of swelling, sometime with a rash

  • Unpredictable and occur anywhere in the body

  • Life-threatening if laryngeal swelling

  • Attacks caused by stress, infection, menstruation, some drugs, unknown causes

==> picture [359 x 402] intentionally omitted <==

HAE Treatment Guidelines

==> picture [685 x 306] intentionally omitted <==

  1. Bowen , et al, Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2008

  2. Gompels et al, Clin Exp Immunol . 2005

Berinert[®] - Effective Treatment for HAE

  • Long clinical use in Europe

  • Orphan drug status for treatment in US in 2009

  • Currently given via intravenous administration

  • A&E or self-administration

  • High quality manufacturing process

  • Strong safety record

==> picture [295 x 134] intentionally omitted <==

Berinert[®] Development Program

  • Improving Convenience

  • Developing a high concentration, low volume formulation

  • More rapid and easier subcutaneous administration

  • Improving Options

  • Program to gain indication for prevention for sufferers with frequent attacks

  • Launch when prevention indication for Berinert[®] is available in US

  • Expanding Indications

  • Exploring opportunities for new medical uses

Treating the Bleeding Patient

Acquired Bleeding Disorders

  • Coagulation factor deficiencies can occur because of multiple factors

  • Current treatment options

  • Donated blood products – platelets, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate

  • Specific products such as those in CSL portfolio

  • Problems with donated blood products

  • Sensitivity reactions

  • Large volume

  • Time taken to administer

  • Storage not straightforward

  • Consume a lot of donated blood

  • Limited lifespan

Beriplex[®] to reverse anti-coagulation with Vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin)

Challenges with Anti-Coagulation

  • Vitamin K antagonists are the most commonly prescribed oral anti-coagulants to prevent clotting for people who are at risk, i.e. previously had a clot, artificial heart valves, etc

  • Potential problems

  • Over anti-coagulation can be a consequence of other medications, illness, other factors

  • Need to urgently reverse if trauma, surgery immediately required

What is Beriplex[®] ?

==> picture [289 x 79] intentionally omitted <==

  • Highly purified preparation containing vitamin K- dependent coagulation factors

  • FII, FVII, FIX, FX

  • 2 viral inactivation steps

  • Specific antidote to vit K antagonists (anti-coagulants)

  • provides rapid normalisation of clotting

  • Used in Europe for >10 years with excellent safety record

  • Current program to expand geographical usage

Program to licence Beriplex[®] in US

  • Seeking approval for use of Beriplex[®] to reverse the effects of vitamin K antagonists for

  • Bleeding related to over-anticoagulation

  • Patients needing surgery

  • 2 large randomised, controlled clinical trials

  • Bleeding study completed and analysis currently underway

  • BLA submission planned for 2011

==> picture [209 x 375] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [373 x 374] intentionally omitted <==

Fibrinogen in Aortic Surgery

  • Patients go on cardiopulmonary bypass and 

  • coagulation factors are consumed bleeding

  • Concept – a quickly administered, fast acting, low volume medicine to microvascular bleeding that will substantially reduce the need for donated (allogeneic) blood products

  • de novo generation of fully human mAbs utilising Dyax phage display

  • technology (G-CSF and / or G-CSFR specific)

CSL324

  • fully human mAb directed against the human G-CSFR

  • high affinity for target – 257pM at the cell surface

  • potent antagonist of G-CSF activity in a variety

  • of assay systems

CSL324 – Acute and Chronic Inflammation

CSL324 is a potent inhibitor of G-CSF action in vivo

  • inhibition of PEG-G-CSF induced neutrophilia in NHP’s

  • 2 groups (3 animals per group)

  • s.c PEG-GCSF on Day 1

  • single i.v infusion of CSL324 12 hrs later

CSL324 – Acute and Chronic Inflammation

Concluding comments

  • CSL324:

  • fully human monoclonal antibody directed against the G-CSFR

  • a potent antagonist of G-CSF activity in in vitro and in vivo assays systems

  • does not induce acute neutropenia in NHP’s (role of G-CSF in homeostasis vs. acute or chronic inflammation)

  • opportunities for clinical development in a number of inflammatory indications

  • potential for small parallel Phase IIa studies

  • Next milestone: commence preclinical tox studies late 2011
