Partnership Highlights
==> picture [106 x 45] intentionally omitted <==
-
Strategic Research Partnership with Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) for the Treatment of Solid Tumors
-
Collaboration will explore the therapeutic potential of a combination of Imugene’s CF33-CD19 oncolytic virus (onCARlytic) and Celularity’s CD-19-targetting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) placental-derived T cell therapy, CYCART-19
-
CYCART-19 is a placental-derived T cell therapy engineered with a CAR that is cryopreserved, allogeneic and available offthe-shelf that clinicians can access on demand, enabling repeat dosing/multiple cycles as required in an outpatient setting
-
Celularity’s off-the-shelf allogeneic CYCART-19 therapy has shown increased T-cell growth with continuous killing of tumor cells in vivo
-
CYCART-19 demonstrates significantly reduced tumor burden and survival benefit compared to adult blood-derived CD19 CAR-T cells in vivo
-
Imugene’s novel strategy to treat solid tumors uses onCARlytics to prime the tumor cells for destruction by eliciting the expression of a validated tumor marker, CD19, then used as a target for CD19-CAR-T cellular therapy
-
Nonclinical in vitro and in vivo combination studies with CYCART-19 and onCARlytic to commence in 2021

INHERENT ADVANTAGES OF PLACENTAL-DERIVED CELLS
-
ü Abundant and evergreen starting cell source for allogeneic off-the-shelf therapies
-
ü High expandability, persistence and stemness
-
ü Can be administered off-the-shelf, as this abundantly available source material possesses a low potential to provoke an immune response
-
ü No requirement for matching between a patient and donor
-
ü Innate stemness represent a flexible foundation that can be repeatedly genetically modified without losing potency

CyCART-19 OVERVIEW Celularity Approach and Advantages
RATIONALE
-
§ Rationale for greater stemness, expandability, persistence
-
§ Abundant renewable starting cell source for allogeneic therapies
-
§ Potential for improved safety profile due to immunological naivety
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
-
§ Celularity has established a robust process to obtain placental T naive/scm population as source materials to produce off-the-shelf, highly scalable CyCART-19 cells
-
§ CyCART-19 demonstrates stem cell memory characteristics as evidenced by greater in vivo persistence and durable antitumor activity in preclinical models
-
§ Strong pre-clinical evidence of anti-tumor activity
-
CyCART-19 cells outperform adult blood-derived CART cells by significantly greater persistence and longer survival in preclinical studies
-
§ Early data suggesting no signs of GvHD
-
§ Note: If Phase 1 successful, Celularity plans to pursue a Phase 2 basket trial across major B-cell malignancies (subject to FDA discussions)

The CAR T Solid Tumour Challenge & Imugene’s Solution
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has had limited activity in solid tumours, largely due to a lack of selectively and highly expressed surface antigens, such as the blood B cell antigen CD19.

onCARlytics makes solid tumours “seen” by CD19 directed CAR T
-
OnCARlytics infects tumour cells
-
Virus replication and production of CF33-CD19 on the cell surface enabling CD19 CAR T cell targeting
-
Tumour cell lysis leads to viral particle release and the combination promotes endogenous immune cell recruitment to tumours
-
Released viral particles re-initiate virus infection of surrounding tumour cells.
