Medivir in brief
Medivir develops innovative drugs with a focus on cancer where the unmet medical needs are high. The drug candidates are directed toward indication areas where available therapies are limited or missing and there are great opportunities to offer significant improvements to patients. Medivir is focusing on the development of fostroxacitabine bralpamide (fostrox), a pro-drug designed to selectively treat liver cancer cells and to minimize side effects.
Collaborations and partnerships are important parts of Medivir's business model, and the drug development is conducted either by Medivir or in partnership. Birinapant, a SMAC mimetic, is exclusively outlicensed to IGM Biosciences (Nasdaq: IGMS) to be developed in combination with IGM-antibodies for the treatment of solid tumors. Medivir's share (ticker: MVIR) is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm's Small Cap list. www.medivir.com
CEO's message
Our measures to regain momentum in patient recruitment have been effective and the fostrox study is now progressing as expected.
Medivir's absolute focus is on the continued clinical development of our cutting-edge project fostroxacitabine bralpamide (fostrox), for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
I described in our Q2 report that we saw slower recruitment to the study than expected in the second quarter, mainly in Europe. In order to increase recruitment speed, we decided for example to activate additional study centers and increase our presence at already activated trial centers.
It is now very gratifying to state that the measures we initiated to speed up patient recruitment to the study have borne fruit. Today, a total of 14 centers are activated in the UK, Spain and South Korea and during Q3 we have seen an accelerated recruitment rate.
Fostrox has the potential to become the first livertargeted and orally administered drug that can help patients with various cancers of the liver. Its unique mechanism of action in liver cancer enables attractive combination treatments with other drug alternatives for HCC.
Medivir's strategy, to combine fostrox with other treatments, is well in line with the development within HCC, a development where improved clinical effect has been obtained by combining different types of medications.
Despite these advances, the medical needs in liver cancer are still significant. Far from all patients benefit from existing therapy options, and therefore many combination studies are underway to find treatments that significantlyimproves the outcome for HCC patients.
We have good hopes that fostrox with its liver-directed mechanism of action is an innovative combination concept that can contribute to more powerful treatments and we have chosen to work in parallel with two combinations. In the end, we will choose the most attractive combination to proceed with in phase 2b based both on the clinical results of the study and how the treatments are actually applied in cancer care.
Our preparations to open an Investigational New Drug (IND) in the USA in 2023 is progressing according to plan.
The continued focus for our business development lies on our two clinical projects for partnerships, remetinostat and MIV-711. The data packages for these two projects have been strengthened during 2021–2022 and we continue our dialogue with external parties with the ambition of finding the best possible solution for each substance.
Regarding our out-licensed projects, IGM Bioscience's clinical development work is progressing in the phase I clinical study in solid tumors with birinapant in combination with IGM's own DR5 agonist antibody IGM-8444. Three dose-escalation cohorts have been completed with no dose-limiting toxicity or clinically significant hepatotoxicity observed to date. Patient recruitment to the fourth dose escalation cohort in the study is ongoing.
In summary, we see that the measures we have taken have yielded results in patient recruitment for our ongoing combination study with fostrox. We continue our work tirelessly so that fostrox can become an effective drug against liver cancer that makes a real difference for patients and for care and thus also for our shareholders. I look forward to keeping you informed of Medivir's continued development.

Proprietary project

PROPRIETARY PROJECT
Fostroxacitabine bralpamide (fostrox) – for the treatment of liver cancer.
Fostrox is Medivir's proprietary prodrug for the treatment of liver cancer. Fostrox has been developed to achieve a targeted anti-tumor effect by optimizing the concentration of the active substance in the liver, while keeping the concentration in the rest of the body lower to minimize potential side effects.
Fostrox's mechanism of action, inhibition of the DNA replication of cancer cells and induction of DNA damage and cell death, is well established in cancer therapy. In addition, this type of prodrug has successfully proven its ability to deliver the active substance to the liver in antiviral drugs for hepatitis C. Fostrox has received orphan drug designation both in the USA and in Europe, for the treatment of HCC.
Primary liver cancer, where the most common form originates from liver cells (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC), is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide1 ). Although existing treatments for HCC can extend the lives of patients, far from all respond to treatment and mortality remains at a high level.
In April 2021 it was announced that the results from the first part of the phase Ib study with fostrox were positive with a good safety and tolerability profile. Thus, the starting dose could be determined for the initial part of the phase 1b/2a study, where fostrox is given in combination with other treatments.
During the ESMO congress in September, additional positive data from the completed dose escalation part of the phase 1b study were presented. A total of nine patients with various types of advanced cancer in the liver were included and evaluated.
These patients had exhausted all possible approved treatments prior to being included in the study.
Liver biopsies from patients have shown delivery of fostroxacitabine bralpamide to the liver, and a selective effect of fostrox on cancer cells in different cancer types.
On February 3 this year, further data from the completed phase I study with fostroxacitabine bralpamide were presented at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) Liver Cancer Summit. These data show, among other things, that fostrox provides a tumor-selective effect in the liver by causing the desired DNA damage and cell death in tumor cells in the liver but not in normal or healthy liver cells.
In mid-December 2021, treatment of the first patient with HCC began in the phase 1b/2a combination study with fostrox. In the study, fostrox is given in combination with two other medicines, either with Lenvima®, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or with Keytruda®, an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor. The study will include patients with HCC for whom current first- line treatment has shown to be ineffective or intolerable. The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety and tolerability, as well as to get an indication of the efficacy of fostrox in combination with two already existing drugs.
The study is an open-label multi-center study starting with a dose escalation part (phase 1b) to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for each combination.
Once RP2D has been established for the combinations, further up to 30 patients with HCC will be enrolled in the phase 2a part of the study for an initial evaluation of safety and efficacy. The study is currently conducted at clinics in the UK, Spain and South Korea.

Projects for partnering

PROJECTS FOR PARTNERING
Medivir has two projects for licensing/partnerships: Remetinostat – histone deacetylase inhibitor for the treatment of different types of cancers in the skin. MIV-711 – cathepsin K inhibitor with the potential to be the first disease-modifying drug in osteoarthritis.
Currently Medivir does not conduct any active clinical development for these projects, but instead evaluates the possibilities of concluding a license or collaboration agreement for the continued development of each project.
Remetinostat for cancer in the skin
Three phase II studies with remetinostat have been conducted, one in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (MF) and two investigator-initiated studies in basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Remetinostat has shown positive clinical efficacy and acceptable tolerability without systemic side effects in these three types of cancer.
MIV-711
Medivir has conducted a phase II study with positive effects on both bone and cartilage in joints in osteoarthritis patients after only six months of treatment with MIV-711.
In February, a subgroup analysis of Medivir's phase II study with MIV-711 for osteoarthritis was published, showing a significant reduction in osteoarthritis-related pain.
Outlicensed projects

OUTLICENSED PROJECTS
Xerclear® - In 2009, Xerclear® (Zoviduo®) was approved for the treatment of labial herpes. The marketing rights to Xerclear® in the USA, Canada and Mexico were divested in 2010, while the corresponding rights in Europe and the rest of the world have been outlicensed to GlaxoSmithKline, with the exception of China, where Medivir has out-licensed the rights to Shijiazhuang Yuanmai Biotechnology Co Ltd. (SYB), and Israel and South America where Medivir has retained the rights.
Medivir receives royalties on Xerclear®(Zoviduo®) sales from GlaxoSmithKline. In addition, Medivir would receive milestones when Zoviduo® is approved as an over the counter product in new markets.
After marketing approval and production in China, Medivir will receive a fixed royalty from SYB for each unit sold and the agreement guarantees a minimum sale during the first three years on the market amounting to single-digit million SEK.
Birinapant – for the treatment of solid tumors. In January 2021, Medivir entered into a licensing agreement with IGM Biosciences regarding the global and exclusive rights to develop birinapant.
Medivir received a payment of USD 1 million upon signing the agreement, which was followed by an additional USD 1.5 million when IGM in November 2021 initiated a clinical Phase I study in solid cancers with birinapant in combination with its DR5-agonist antibody IGM-8444.
IGM has announced that patient inclusion in the third dose escalation cohort has been completed without any dose-limiting toxicity or clinically significant hepatotoxicity being observed. The patient recruitment for the fourth dose escalation cohort of the study has been initiated.
The terms of the agreement entitles Medivir to milestone payments up to a total of approximately USD 350 million, given that birinapant is successfully developed and approved, and tiered royalties up to
"mid-teens" on net sales. A portion of all revenue is shared with Tetralogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, but the main part goes to Medivir.
Preclinical projects
USP-1
In the first quarter of 2020 Medivir entered into a licensing agreement with the US-based company Tango Therapeutics for USP-1, Medivir's preclinical research program. Tango has announced that it expects to open an IND for a USP-1 inhibitor in 2023. The agreement entitles Medivir to multiple development and commercial milestone payments as well as royalties on future sales.
USP-7
In February 2021 a licensing agreement with Ubiquigent was signed for the preclinical research program USP-7. The agreement grants Ubiquigent an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize all of the program's related substances in all therapeutic indications in exchange for agreed revenue sharing with Medivir upon successful development or commercialization.
MBLI
Medivir's Metallo Beta Lactamase (MBLI) program aimed at addressing the threat of resistant bacteria was outlicensed in 2017 to the AMR Centre (today INFEX Therapeutics) in England.
In 2022, INFEX has presented additional preclinical data and communicated its intention to initiate a phase I program in 2022/23. In October, INFEX received patent approval for the substance in the United States. Medivir is entitled to a share of potential future revenue.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors
The process of pharmaceutical research and development, all the way up to regulatory market approval, is both high-risk and capital-intensive. The majority of projects initiated will never achieve market authorization. If competing pharmaceuticals take market shares, or competing research projects achieve better efficacy and reach the market more quickly, the future value of Medivir's product and project portfolio may be lower than expected. Medivir's success in developing medicines, to enter into partnerships and to secure funding for its operations, are decisive in terms of the company's future.
In addition to industry-specific risk factors, there is an added uncertainty in our surrounding world, both as a result of Russia's invasion war in Ukraine and through a financial instability with rising inflation and general macroeconomic uncertainty.
A more detailed description of the exposure to risk, and of the ways in which Medivir manages it, is provided in the 2021 Annual Report, see pages 25-26 and 34 and in Note 7 on pages 50-52. The Annual Report is available on the company's website: www.medivir.com.
Outlook
Medivir's future investments will mainly be in clinical pharmaceutical projects within oncology.
It is the assessment of the Board and management that existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to cover the company's needs to complete the ongoing phase 1b study as well as one combination arm in phase 2a.

Auditor's report
Medivir AB reg. no. 556238-4361
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Medivir AB as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
