Eisai and Merck are studying the lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab combination through the LEAP (LEnvatinib And Pembrolizumab) clinical program in various tumor types across more than multiple clinical trials.

In May 2023, Eisai entered into a joint development agreement with Bliss Biopharmaceutical (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Zhejiang Province, China, "BlissBio"), for BB-1701, a HER2-targeting antibody drug conjugate (ADC), with option rights for a strategic collaboration. Eisai and BlissBio are currently investigating BB-1701 in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Japan and the United States for breast cancer and a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the United States and China for HER2-expressing solid tumors.

Cimeio Therapeutics Announces Publication in Nature Demonstrating That CD45 ADC and Shielded HSCs Represent a Potentially Universal Therapy for Blood Cancers

On May 22, 2024 Cimeio Therapeutics reported a publication in Nature showing that its CD45 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) eradicated aggressive leukemic cells in vivo, while hematopoiesis was fully preserved and protected from the ADC via shielded hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) (Press release, Cimeio Therapeutics, MAY 22, 2024, View Source [SID1234643528]). The findings point to a novel and potentially universal approach to treating blood cancers.

CD45 is highly expressed on blood cancers but also on healthy blood cells. This profile until now has prevented effective targeting for therapeutic purposes. Now, a group led by Dr. Lukas Jeker, and researchers at Cimeio have shown that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells can be eliminated using Cimeio’s proprietary CD45-targeting ADC. By transplanting engineered HSCs that are shielded from the CD45-directed therapy, the CD45 ADC was safely and effectively administered against the blood cancers.

This work is foundational for the emerging field called epitope shielding, which enables the development of curative therapies for patients with hematologic diseases, severe autoimmune conditions and potentially infectious diseases such as HIV. The core patent for epitope shielding is exclusively licensed to Cimeio by University of Basel.

"All AML cells express CD45 but since all healthy blood cells also express it, killing cells that express CD45 results in severe toxicity," said Dr. Jeker, who is the co-founder of Cimeio and Professor of Experimental Transplantation Immunology & Nephrology at the Basel University Hospital, Switzerland. "We solved the problem by providing epitope-shielded HSCs, which enable the ADC to selectively deplete cancer cells while sparing the healthy ones."

"We believe that this therapy could change the treatment paradigm for patients with AML, which is a difficult-to-treat disease with a five-year survival rate of only 25%," said Stefanie Urlinger, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Cimeio. "By protecting a patient’s heme system from toxicity, we are able to develop new targeted treatments previously not possible."

Cimeio Therapeutics is developing epitope engineered cells and paired targeted therapies for CD45 and CD117, and epitope engineered cells for CD33, CD52, and several other heme targets.

More than 100 abstracts will feature 25 approved and potential new medicines across the Company’s diverse oncology portfolio and pipeline, including two late-breaking plenary presentations, a special late-breaking abstract session presentation and 15 oral presentations. Highlights include:

LAURA Phase III trial of Tagrisso (osimertinib) in unresectable, Stage III epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) (Plenary LBA4).
ADRIATIC Phase III trial of Imfinzi (durvalumab) in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) who had not progressed following concurrent CRT (cCRT) (Plenary LBA5).
DESTINY-Breast06 Phase III trial of Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) in patients with metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive HER2-low and HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer following one or more lines of endocrine therapy (LBA1000).
First-in-human, investigator-initiated trial of C-CAR031, a novel autologous armoured Glypican 3 (GPC3) targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy, in patients with liver cancer. The CAR-T is based on AZD5851, a novel cell therapy designed by AstraZeneca (Rapid Oral Abstract 4019).
Two late-breaking presentations from the externally sponsored I-SPY2.2 Phase II trial of neoadjuvant datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), alone and in combination with Imfinzi, in patients with breast cancer (LBA501 and LBA509).
Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: "Our plenary data at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) show the pioneering role of our medicines in curative-intent lung cancer treatment and highlight progress toward our continued ambition to have a medicine for more than half of all patients treated for lung cancer by 2030. The overwhelming efficacy in the LAURA trial will add to the extensive body of evidence for Tagrisso in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, and the impressive survival data from ADRIATIC will show the potential of Imfinzi to transform outcomes in limited-stage small cell lung cancer."

Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: "Data from our antibody drug conjugates at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) underscore the opportunity to replace traditional chemotherapy with these medicines for many patients as we expand their use to new populations. DESTINY-Breast06 results will demonstrate the potential to treat patients across a broader spectrum of HR-positive metastatic breast cancer with Enhertu, including those with HER2-ultralow expression who have never had access to HER2-directed therapy before. We’re also excited by the I-SPY2.2 efficacy and tolerability data for datopotamab deruxtecan plus Imfinzi, which will show the potential of combining antibody drug conjugates with immunotherapy in the early-stage setting."

Transforming treatment expectations across earlier-stage lung cancer settings

Several presentations will reinforce the Company’s progress toward moving lung cancer treatment to earlier stages of disease. These include:

A late-breaking plenary presentation showcasing progression-free survival (PFS) results from the LAURA Phase III trial evaluating Tagrisso in unresectable, Stage III EGFRm NSCLC after CRT. In February, high-level results showed a statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful PFS benefit for Tagrisso in this setting.
A late-breaking plenary presentation highlighting overall survival (OS) and PFS results from the ADRIATIC Phase III trial of Imfinzi in patients with LS-SCLC who had not progressed following cCRT. In April, high-level results from an interim analysis showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS and PFS benefit for Imfinzi in this setting.
An oral presentation of an analysis from the ADAURA Phase III trial of Tagrisso in the adjuvant treatment of early-stage (IB, II and IIIA) EGFRm NSCLC, assessing the potential for circulating tumour DNA-based molecular residual disease to predict disease recurrence.
A rapid oral presentation of an exploratory analysis from the AEGEAN Phase III trial of Imfinzi-based treatment before and after surgery in patients with resectable early-stage (IIA-IIIB) NSCLC, evaluating efficacy in patients with N2 disease (cancer in the lymph nodes on the same side as the affected lung or between the lungs).
A poster presentation of updated OS, PFS and safety results from the COAST Phase II trial of Imfinzi in combination with novel immunotherapies oleclumab, an anti-CD73 monoclonal antibody, and monalizumab, an anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody, in unresectable, Stage III NSCLC, supporting the PACIFIC-9 Phase III trial in this patient population.
In metastatic lung cancer, the Company will present data that underscore its commitment to extending the benefits of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) to more patients. A poster presentation will share updated safety and efficacy results, including by PD-L1 expression, from the TROPION-Lung02 Phase Ib trial of datopotamab deruxtecan plus pembrolizumab with or without platinum chemotherapy as 1st-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations. These data build on previously presented results from the TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial demonstrating the potential of this novel ADC in advanced disease. Datopotamab deruxtecan in combination with immunotherapies is being further explored in multiple Phase III trials in this setting, including AVANZAR, TROPION-Lung07 and TROPION-Lung08.

Redefining the breast cancer treatment landscape with ADCs across subtypes and stages of disease

A late-breaking presentation will showcase efficacy and safety outcomes from the DESTINY-Breast06 Phase III trial. In April, high-level results showed Enhertu demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with HR-positive, HER2-low metastatic breast cancer. A clinically meaningful PFS improvement was also seen in patients with HER2-ultralow expression.

An oral presentation will spotlight data from an interim analysis of the dose-expansion phase of the DESTINY-Breast07 Phase Ib/II trial assessing Enhertu alone or in combination with pertuzumab as 1st-line treatment in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. These regimens are being further explored in the DESTINY-Breast09 Phase III clinical trial.

Additionally, a poster presentation will share updated OS and PFS results from the DESTINY-Breast03 Phase III trial of Enhertu versus trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.

An oral presentation will feature patient-reported outcomes data from the TROPION-Breast01 Phase III trial of datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with inoperable or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-low or negative breast cancer previously treated with endocrine-based therapy and at least one systemic therapy. Previously presented primary results from TROPION-Breast01 showed datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS versus investigator’s choice of chemotherapy.

Two late-breaking presentations of results from the externally sponsored I-SPY2.2 Phase II trial will highlight the rates of pathologic complete response associated with neoadjuvant datopotamab deruxtecan, alone and in combination with Imfinzi, across breast cancer subtypes.

Advancing the next wave of medicines and combination therapies to attack cancer from multiple angles

A rapid oral presentation will spotlight safety and preliminary efficacy results from an investigator-initiated trial of C-CAR031, a novel autologous armoured Glypican 3 (GPC3) targeting chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy that is being investigated for hepatocellular carcinoma. The CAR-T is based on AZD5851, a novel cell therapy designed by AstraZeneca using their transforming growth factor-beta receptor II (TGFβRII) dominant negative armouring platform and is manufactured by AbelZeta Pharmaceuticals Inc. C-CAR031 is being developed in China under a co-development agreement between AbelZeta and AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca’s TGFβRII dominant negative armouring is designed to resist the immuno-suppressive tumour microenvironment and enhance the potential effectiveness of CAR-Ts in solid tumours.

A rapid abstract update will feature updated efficacy data from a Phase I trial of AZD0901, a potential first-in-class ADC targeting Claudin 18.2, which has shown promise as a therapeutic target in gastric cancer. First results were presented at the ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Plenary Series 2023.

Additionally, a clinical science symposium presentation of the externally sponsored CAPRI Phase II trial will share efficacy and safety results for ceralasertib, an ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related (ATR) kinase inhibitor, plus Lynparza (olaparib) in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

Collaboration in the scientific community is critical to improving outcomes for patients. AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited to develop and commercialise Enhertu and datopotamab deruxtecan, and with MSD (Merck & Co., Inc. in the US and Canada) to develop and commercialise Lynparza. AstraZeneca obtained full oncology rights to monalizumab from Innate Pharma in October 2018 through a co-development and commercialisation agreement initiated in 2015.

Launched in 2019, the Alloy ATX-Gx platform has rapidly become the industry standard fully human transgenic mouse platform to enable therapeutic discovery programs utilized by over 170 partners. Alloy is dedicated to reinvesting its revenue into innovation and has continuously expanded its murine platforms, adding new strains such as ATX-GL with the full human lambda repertoire as well as ATX-GKH hyperimmune strain for increased generation of antigen-specific B-cells and enhanced IgG class switching. In 2023 Alloy launched the ATX-CLC platform expressing common light chain antibodies with full heavy chain diversity to enable efficient, modular bispecific discovery.

Access to Alloy’s platforms extends to Lilly’s Catalyze360 program, a comprehensive platform designed to enable drug discovery and development for biotech partners, including opportunities for capital investment, world-class lab space, and exceptional R&D capabilities and expertise. Under the arrangement, biotech companies that work with Lilly Catalyze360 will have the opportunity for Alloy antibody discovery platforms to be deployed to rapidly progress partnered discovery campaigns and accelerate medicines to the clinic for patients.

"Lilly is a great collaboration partner, and we are excited to further enable the company’s broader R&D ecosystem with access to Alloy’s best-in-class technologies for discovering superior fully human antibodies and bispecifics against even the most challenging targets," said Heather Schwoebel, CBO of Antibodies and Strategic Collaborations at Alloy. "This collaboration represents just one example of the many ways Alloy is flexible in enabling our partners with a breadth of discovery solutions to support their objectives and improve patient lives."
