Paris (France), July 25, 2019 – 7.00 pm CEST - Onxeo S.A. (Euronext Paris, NASDAQ Copenhagen: ONXEO - FR0010095596), ("Onxeo" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of innovative drugs targeting tumor DNA Damage response (DDR) in oncology, in particular against rare or resistant cancers, today reported its consolidated half-year financials, as of June 30, 2019, and provided a business update.
Judith Greciet, Chief Executive Officer of Onxeo, said: "During the first half of 2019, we have achieved major progress in our developments that continue to enhance the value of our first-in-class lead drug candidate AsiDNA™ and our other R&D assets.
With regards to AsiDNA™, the well-executed DRIIV-1 phase I study of AsiDNA™ in solid tumors provided positive results by meeting each of its core objectives and notably confirming both the activity and the tolerance of AsiDNA™. Based on these sound data, we have launched the first phase 1b study of AsiDNA™ in combination with a reference chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) in patients suffering from eligible solid tumors. In parallel, we plan to initiate a second combination clinical study with a PARP inhibitor by year-end to assess the ability of AsiDNA™ to abrogate the acquired resistance to PARP inhibitors, a major limitation for their clinical use.
We also recently expanded our pipeline with our new optimized lead OX401 that entered a proof-of-concept preclinical phase. OX401 is based on the same decoy agonist mechanism as AsiDNA™ and was designed to be a next-generation PARP inhibitor that does not induce resistance but triggers a strong immune response through the activation of the STING pathway. This new candidate is at the crossroads of DNA Damage Response and immuno oncology, the two most attractive domains in cancer treatment.
By renewing our equity financing line with Nice & Green last June, we have secured the needed financial resources over at least the next 12 months to confidently move forward the developments of these two high potential candidates."

Revenues for the half-year 2019 stood at €1.7 million and consisted of:

Operating expenses stood at €8.6 million in H1 2019, which represented an increase of 14% compared to H1 2018. This variation mainly results from growth in R&D expenses, mainly due to the deployment of the preclinical and clinical programs conducted with AsiDNA™ as well as the work carried out on the platON™ platform, which enabled the launch of the new OX401 program.
| H1 2019 total net loss amounted to €8.5 million, improved when compared to H1 2018. | |

The limited audit procedures on the half-yearly accounts have been performed. The limited audit report will be issued after the completion of the procedures required for the purposes of the publication of the half-yearly financial report.
At June 30, 2019, the Company had a consolidated cash position of €6.3 million, compared with €11.3 million at December 31, 2018. This variation related mainly to the operational expenditure of the company, in particular in the field of research and development, partly offset by a capital increase of €2 million from the equity line set up with Nice & Green, which has been renewed in June. Assuming an average price of €0.75 per share over the contract period, remaining gross proceeds from this equity line would amount to €8.4 million, providing Onxeo with sufficient visibility to conduct its projects, particularly the expansion of the clinical development of AsiDNA™, at least until the third quarter of 2020.
Onxeo (Euronext Paris, NASDAQ Copenhagen: ONXEO) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative oncology drugs targeting tumor DNA-binding functions through unique mechanisms of action in the sought-after field of DNA Damage Response (DDR). The Company is focused on bringing early-stage first-in-class or disruptive compounds from translational research to clinical proof-of-concept, a value-creating inflection point appealing to potential partners.
platON™ is Onxeo's proprietary chemistry platform of oligonucleotides acting as decoy agonists, which generates new innovative compounds and broaden the Company's product pipeline.
AsiDNA™, the first compound from platON™, is a first-in-class, highly differentiated DNA Damage Response (DDR) inhibitor based on a decoy and agonist mechanism acting upstream of multiple DDR pathways. Translational research has highlighted the distinctive properties of AsiDNA™, notably its ability to abrogate tumor resistance to PARP inhibitors regardless of the genetic mutation status. AsiDNA™ has also shown a strong synergy with other tumor DNA-damaging agents such as chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. The DRIIV-1 (DNA Repair Inhibitor-administered IntraVenously) phase I study has evaluated AsiDNA™ by systemic administration (IV) in advanced solid tumors and confirmed the active doses as well as a favorable human safety profile. The ongoing DRIIV-1b extension study is assessing the safety and efficacy of a 600 mg dose of AsiDNA™ in combination with carboplatin, and carboplatin and paclitaxel, in patients with solid tumors who are eligible for such treatments.

OX401 is a new drug candidate from platON™, optimized to be a next-generation PARP inhibitor acting on both the DNA Damage Response and the activation of immune response, without inducing resistance. In vivo preclinical proof-of-concept data are expected early Q4 2019.
Onxeo's portfolio also includes belinostat, an HDAC inhibitor (epigenetics). Belinostat is already conditionally FDA-approved in the US as a 2nd line treatment for patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma and marketed in the US under the name Beleodaq® (belinostat IV form).
