MHC II / LAG-3 Interaction is Clinically Validated as a Therapeutic Target

==> picture [170 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

LAG-3, an immune checkpoint, is widely expressed on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and cytotoxic T cells, and interacts with MHC class II molecules on antigen presenting cells (APCs)

Prime target for immune therapy

  • Relatlimab + 15 more products in clinical development

  • Clinical validation at ASCO/ESMO 2021 (RELATIVITY-047 - relatlimab + nivolumab in melanoma)

  • PDUFA target action date is March 19, 2021*

MHC II (APC) / LAG-3 (T cell) interaction is important for tumor immunology

  • This APC / T cell interaction is now a validated target since ASCO 2021 → 3[rd] validated checkpoint in immunooncology

*The PDUFA date refers to the date the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are expected to deliver their decision whether or not a approve a companies New Drug Application (NDA) or Biologics License Application (BLA).

INSIGHT-004 (Stratum-D) Results[(1)]

Activity

  • 5/12 (42%) with partial responses in different indications:

  • 1st line MSI high colorectal cancer; 1st line pleural mesothelioma; after radiochemo in squamous anal cell; pre-treated squamous cervical cancer (PD-L1 TPS < 1%) carcinoma; 3[rd] line gastroesophageal junction

  • 75% (n=9) are still alive → 66.7% (n=4) of cohort 1 and 83.3% (n=5) of cohort 2

Best overall response (RECIST 1.1)

==> picture [170 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Safety

  • Combo of avelumab 800 mg + efti 6 mg or 30 mg efti s.c. is feasible and safe

  • No unexpected AEs

Conclusion

  • Treatment with efti + avelumab safe, with promising signals of efficacy

  • Efti + avelumab seems to be a potent combination for enhancing PD-L1 directed therapy and needs further evaluation in new trials

have negative impact on OS in placebo group (median reduced from 20.0 to 14.9 months), but not in the efti group (median OS 20.9 vs. 20.4 months)

Significant deterioration of overall QoL in the placebo group at week 25, which was not observed in the efti group Very important for reimbursement → favorably for efti

CDK4/6 are now standard, and most patients will have received it in future studies / real world → favorably for efti

Out-Licensed Immunotherapy Pipeline & Other Collaborations

Ieramilimab (LAG525) for Cancer

==> picture [170 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

  • Novartis holds an exclusive WW licence to develop and commercialise Ieramilimab (which is derived from Immutep’s antagonist antibody known as IMP701)

  • 1st and 2nd milestone payments received by Immutep in August 2015 (undisclosed) and August 2017 (US$1 million)

  • In 2018 Novartis cancelled 90 other R&D programs but continued to invest heavily in progressing the development of LAG525[(1)]

  • Novartis currently has five clinical trials for Ieramilimab in multiple cancer indications for over 1,000 patients[(2)]

==> picture [211 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ieramilimab is an anti-LAG-3 mAb that blocks LAG-3-mediated immune down-regulation

  • LAG-3 is a prime target for immune checkpoint blockade as it is readily expressed at a high level in many human tumors

  • Up to ₤64 million in upfront payments and milestones, plus royalties

  • GSK portfolio review in 2017 -> GSK’781 continued despite cancellation of 13 clinical and 20 preclinical programs[(1)]

  • March 2018: Phase I trial in psoriasis completed in 67 subjects/patients[(2)]

  • September 2019: 1[st] patient dosed in Phase II trial in ulcerative colitis in 242 patients triggered a £4 million (~US$5.0 million) milestone payment to Immutep[(2)]

  • Phase I clinical study completed, evaluating GSK’781 in 36 healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects, PK/PD study[(2)]

  • Phase II in Ulcerative Colitis discontinued in January 2021

GSK’s investigational product, GSK2831781, which is derived from IMP731 antibody, aims to kill the few activated LAG-3[+] T cells that are auto-reactive in autoimmune disease leading to long term disease control without generalized immune suppression
