"As a leading microbiome company in oncology, we are proud of the progress made in the second quarter of 2023. We are particularly pleased with positive interactions with international regulatory agencies, such as the FDA's clearance of the IND application, which paves the way for bringing MaaT013 to patients. We remain aligned with our strategy to pursue the development of MaaT013 towards its registration in the treatment of aGvHD. Additionally, we are on the brink of launching the largest, to our knowledge, randomized study in hematooncology with a microbiome therapy, as we finalize preparation for the Phase 2 trial of MaaT033," commented Hervé Affagard, CEO and co-founder of MaaT Pharma. "In the upcoming months, we will continue to deliver on the plans presented during our IPO to investors, patients, and the global community."
1 Unaudited data
(EBMT 2023). Clinical results showed a GI-Overall Response Rate (GI-ORR) of 56% with a 12-month overall survival (OS) of 59% in patients responding to MaaT013 treatment. A 65% ORR was observed in 31 patients being a similar population to those treated in MaaT Pharma's ongoing pivotal Phase 3 ARES clinical trial (3rd-line therapy after failure to 2nd-line ruxolitinib treatment); 12-month OS in this group responding to MaaT013 treatment was 74%. As a reminder, overall survival in ruxolitinib-resistant patients at 2 months is 22% (REACH1 study).
second clinical-stage product MaaT033. In parallel, the clinical protocol of the Phase 2b randomized placebo-controlled PHOEBUS trial was reviewed in a Scientific Advice with EMA, with a positive outcome and no consequences on the authorizations already received in France and Germany in March 2023. Consequently, the start of the PHOEBUS trial, initially planned to start in Q2 2023 is now expected in H2 2023. This trial will assess MaaT033's impact on overall survival in allo-HSCT patients.
o The IASO Phase 1b pilot study (NCT05889572) in ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease in the US and Charcot's disease in French-speaking country) is active and ready for the first patient to be dosed.
