WHAT IS TRAVELERS’ DIARRHEA?
==> picture [382 x 385] intentionally omitted <==
-
Caused by consuming food or water infected with pathogens. Three or more unformed stools in 24 hours.
-
.
-
Bacterial pathogens are the predominant risk[1]
-
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are the predominant pathogens:
42% in Latin America
28% in Southeast Asia
- Up to 70% of travelers suffer from travelers’ diarrhea[2] .

US SALES FORECAST FOR TRAVELAN® IF APPROVED AS DRUG FOR TD
==> picture [55 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
MARKET POTENTIAL FOR TRAVELAN® SALES:
Market potential figure derived from:
2014 figures of US citizens traveling to high risk destinations for TD (44.3 million)[1] and obtaining pretravel advice (22.2 million)[2] . Sources of pre-travel advice include primary care provider, travel medicine specialist, company doctors, pharmacist, and travel agencies[2] . Our forecast utilizes a very conservative estimate for % of US citizens purchasing Travelan® after seeking pre-travel advice.

TRAVELAN® UNIQUELY POSITIONED FOR SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH - NO FDA APPROVED DRUG TO PREVENT TD
==> picture [55 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
-
Therapeutic market is expected to grow from US$630 million in 2019 to over $1 billion by 2025
-
Market Opportunity – CAGR 7%.
-
44.3 million US Citizens travel to high risk destinations each year 30 to 70% will get TD.
-
22.2 million US Citizens seek pretravel health advice.
-
Antibiotic Chemoprophylaxis can provide up to 90% protection against TD – NOT Recommended due to emerging resistance to this class of drug.
Unmet Need
-
Bismuth Subsalicyclate (BSS) shown to provide up to 65% protection against TD not commonly used as prophylaxis for TD due to adverse effects, salicylate toxicity, inconvenient dosing (2 tablets 4X a day) and low compliance.
-
Vaccines – No current products targeting TD registered in the USA.
-
Highly differentiated – Neutralizes ETEC but does not impact microbiome.
Travelan® Positioning
-
Targets many isolates (Campylobacter, ETEC, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Shigella).
-
Listed medicine in Australia over 600,000 packets sold WW.
-
There is also growing resistance to antibiotic treatments.

-
Therapeutic market expected to grow from US$360 million in 2014 to over $1.7 billion by 2024 – CAGR 15%
-
Nearly 30,000 patients die each year from C. difficile infections (US)

THE UNMET NEED
==> picture [55 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
-
Current standard of care for C. difficile includes vancomycin and metronidazole, accounting for 80% of patient share (US)
-
Therapies plagued by significant CDI recurrences (1st relapse: 25%; 2nd: 40%; 3rd: 60%) underscoring need for new treatments
• Growing resistance to vancomycin treatment
- Some treatments are administered intravenously rather than via the gut where C. difficile resides

IMM-529 UNIQUE MOA IN CDI
==> picture [354 x 427] intentionally omitted <==
SPORES - Infectious particles – Heat, ethanol & UV resistant. Survive gastric acid, adhere to cells in the colon & germinate. IMM-529 antibodies bind to surface antigens on spores & prevent adherence to host cells & limit germination.
VEGETATIVE CELLS – Fimbriae & other surface layer proteins (SLP) contribute to bacterial colonization. Fimbriae are used to adhere to other bacteria & to host cells. Fimbriae one of the primary mechanisms of virulence. IMM-529 antibodies bind to SLP on vegetative cells & limit colonization.
TOXIN B – is essential for virulence. Toxin B disrupts the cytoskeleton and tight junctions of intestinal epithelial cells. IMM-529 antibodies neutralise toxin B, inhibiting toxin mediated epithelial cell apoptosis & limit toxin translocation into the systemic circulation & inflammatory signal cascades.

ONGOING PHASE I/IIA C. DIFFICILE TRIAL
==> picture [55 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
-
Randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of IMM-529 for treatment of CDI
-
60 subjects to be enrolled up to 3 weeks of definitive diagnosis of CDI (at least 20 subjects to be enrolled within the first 72 hours)
-
Subjects randomized to IMM-529 or placebo in a 2:1 ratio
-
Treatment duration: 28 days on top of standard-of-care (vancomycin/metronidazole)
-
Follow-up: 3 months overall
-
Primary objective: To evaluate safety and tolerability of IMM-529 plus standard-of-care (SOC) combination in patients with CDI
-
Secondary objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of IMM-529/SOC combo to treat patients with CDI

IMM-529 FOR THE TREATMENT OF CDI
==> picture [55 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
-
Therapeutic market is expected to grow from US$360 million in 2014 to over $1.7 billion by 2024 – CAGR 15%
-
Market Opportunity • Nearly 30,000 patients die each year from C. difficile infections (US)
-
• Potential orphan disease (7 years market exclusivity and premium pricing)
-
Vancomycin and metronidazole current standard of care - 80% of patient share in U.S.
-
• Therapies plagued by significant CDI recurrences (1st relapse: 25%; 2nd: 40%; 3rd: 60%)
-
Unmet Need underscoring need for new treatments
-
• Growing resistance to vancomycin treatment • Highly differentiated – Neutralizes C. difficile but does not impact microbiome
-
•
-
IMM-529 Positioning Only asset that targets not only toxin B but also spores and vegetative cells responsible for recurrence
-
• Can be used in combination with standard of care

US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE COMMISSIONED PRE-CLINICAL STUDIES

Collaboration with:
-
Department of Enteric Diseases (DED)
-
Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (AFRIMS)
-
A overseas laboratory of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR)
-
60 clinical isolates of each bacteria, Campylobacter , ETEC, and Shigella , (180 in total) were tested by Western blot analysis.
-
The clinical isolates were collected from infected patients located in Bhutan, Cambodia, Nepal and Thailand between 1993 and 2016, allowing researchers to measure the impact of Travelan[] antibodies on infectious bacterial strains in the field.
-
When compared to the controls, researchers found that the antibodies within Travelan[] were reactive to all 180 clinical isolates from these infected individuals.

-
Travelan® protective efficacy against shigellosis in a juvenile Rhesus macaque challenge model.
-
Travelan® prevented clinical shigellosis in 75% of Travelan® treated NHPs compared to placebo. Overall results strongly suggest that Travelan® is functionally cross-reactive and an effective prophylactic tool against Shigellosis.
-
These results provide an alternative approach of non-antibiotic interventions which could lead to a new preventative modality for the US DoD.

Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR)
-
Immuron has produced three Shigella specific therapeutic products utilizing vaccines developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR).
-
The hyperimmune products from the study have been processed and shipped to the WRAIR for preclinical assessment.
-
Under the current terms of the Cooperative Research Agreement, the WRAIR will fund the evaluation of the anti-Shigella therapeutics and assess their protective capacity in a head to head comparison with Travelan® in established small animal models.
