Phase 3 Metastatic Breast Cancer Study. The pivotal SOPHIA study is evaluating the efficacy of margetuximab plus chemotherapy compared to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in approximately 530 relapsed/refractory HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients. MacroGenics remains on track to complete enrollment of the study in the next few months, with anticipated disclosure of topline PFS data in the first quarter of 2019.

Phase 2 Gastric Cancer Study. At the 2018 ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in June, MacroGenics presented updated interim clinical data from a Phase 2 study of margetuximab plus an anti-PD-1 agent in patients with HER2-positive gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. This chemotherapy-free combination, designed to coordinately engage innate and adaptive immunity, demonstrated that margetuximab plus an anti-PD-1 antibody may have enhanced antitumor activity in patients with advanced gastric cancer. The Company expects to complete enrollment of 25 additional gastric cancer patients in the next few months and present data in the first quarter of 2019.

Flotetuzumab. Recent highlights of the Company’s bispecific, humanized DART molecule that recognizes both CD123 and CD3, include:

Monotherapy Study. MacroGenics has completed the enrollment of its AML dose expansion cohort and plans to present updated clinical data and disclose further development plans in late 2018. The Company’s collaborator, Servier, has development and commercialization rights outside North America, Japan, Korea and India for flotetuzumab, also known as S80880.

Combination Study with MGA012. MacroGenics has previously presented data supporting the rationale for using checkpoint blockade as an approach to potentially enhance the anti-leukemic activity of flotetuzumab. MacroGenics intends to commence enrollment of a combination study

with MGA012, an anti-PD-1 mAb also known as INCMGA0012, later this year.
PD-1-Directed Immuno-Oncology Franchise. MacroGenics is advancing multiple PD-1-directed programs to enable both a broad set of combination opportunities across the Company’s portfolio and provide further differentiation from existing PD-1-based treatment options. These programs include:

MGA012. This humanized, proprietary anti-PD-1 mAb is being developed for use as monotherapy as well as in combination with other potential cancer therapeutics. MGA012 was licensed to Incyte Corporation in 2017 under a global collaboration and license agreement. MacroGenics retains the rights to develop MGA012 in combination with its pipeline assets, and has already initiated clinical combination studies with two separate DART molecules. In June 2018, Incyte announced its intention to pursue monotherapy development of MGA012 in MSI-high endometrial cancer, Merkel cell carcinoma and anal cancer through registration-directed studies, with data anticipated in 2020-2021.

MGD013. This first-in-class DART molecule provides co-blockade of two immune checkpoint molecules expressed on T cells, PD-1 and LAG-3, for the potential treatment of a range of solid tumors and hematological malignancies. MGD013 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 study. MacroGenics expects to establish the dose and schedule for MGD013 administration as well as initiate dose expansion cohorts by year end 2018.

MGD019. This DART molecule is designed to provide co-blockade of both PD-1 and CTLA-4 on T cells. The Company anticipates submitting the IND application for MGD019 by year end 2018.
B7-H3 Franchise. MacroGenics is developing a portfolio of therapeutics that target B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of molecules involved in immune regulation. The Company is advancing multiple programs that target B7-H3 through complementary mechanisms of action that take advantage of this antigen’s broad expression across multiple solid tumor types. These molecules include:

Enoblituzumab: The Company completed the recruitment of patients in an ongoing study of this Fc-optimized mAb that targets B7-H3, in combination with an anti-PD-1 mAb and expects to present clinical data from this study as well as disclose further development plans in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Orlotamab (formerly known as MGD009): This DART molecule targeting B7-H3 and CD3 is being evaluated in a Phase 1 study. The Company recently established the dose and schedule for orlotamab administration and initiated monotherapy dose expansion cohorts in six different tumor types. In addition, a combination study of orlotamab and MGA012 was initiated in the first quarter of 2018 and is ongoing.

MGC018: The Company has submitted an IND for this anti-B7-H3 ADC and anticipates initiation of a Phase 1 study in the coming months. This first-in-man study is designed to study MGC018 both as monotherapy and in combination with MGA012 in patients with solid tumors.

Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2018, were $300.9 million, compared to $305.1 million as of December 31, 2017.

"Over the last two years, Sesen Bio has undergone a unique evolution as a company. Following the acquisition of Viventia and the resulting transition from an ophthalmology organization to an oncology company, we have been wholly focused on developing Vicinium for high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer," said Wendy Dixon, Ph.D., chair of Sesen Bio’s board of directors. "We are grateful to Steve for his many significant contributions in advancing Sesen Bio to where it is today, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors. As we transition further as a company, Tom will be an exceptional strategic leader bringing deep experience in drug development and commercialization to drive Vicinium, our pipeline and the company through this important next chapter."

Thomas Cannell most recently served as chief operating officer and president of global commercial products at Orexigen Therapeutics, Inc., where he led the successful commercialization and profitability of Contrave. Prior to Orexigen, Dr. Cannell spent 27 years with Merck & Co., Inc., where he held senior leadership positions in global commercialization, consumer marketing, and sales operations and management for both development-stage programs and approved marketed products. While with Merck, he served as president of Merck Canada and head of marketing and strategy for Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., Japan, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., where he was responsible for setting up a long-standing strategic process and plan, managed a multi-billion-dollar product portfolio and oversaw thousands of employees. In addition, he designed and successfully piloted an innovative, customer-centric commercial model for Merck’s U.S. business. Dr. Cannell received his DVM degree from Washington State University.

"My enthusiasm for joining Sesen Bio is based on the novel mechanism of Vicinium, its potential as a monotherapy and combination agent, particularly with checkpoint inhibitors, and the range of therapeutic opportunities with our novel fusion proteins," stated Dr. Cannell. "Over the next several months, we will be focused on several strategic objectives across our pipeline.

I am excited to join the company at this pivotal time and believe strongly in our ability to execute these strategic priorities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients."

Sesen Bio also announced today that Abbie Celniker, Ph.D. and Paul Chaney have stepped down from the company’s board of directors, effective August 7, 2018. Dr. Celniker, who served on the board of directors since the company’s founding by Third Rock Ventures in 2011, is focusing on her partner role at Third Rock Ventures and early-stage portfolio-building efforts. Mr. Chaney joined the company’s board in 2014 as a leader in developing innovative ophthalmic therapeutics and is leaving to continue his efforts in that area of drug development.

"I am very proud of the progress and many milestones that the Sesen Bio team has achieved, and it has been a pleasure to serve on the board with this outstanding group of industry leaders," said Dr. Celniker. "The company is uniquely positioned with a Phase 3 trial that is well underway, established clinical data, a lead product candidate with a pipeline of opportunities and a strong balance sheet to fund its growing organization. I look forward to watching Sesen Bio’s continued success as a supportive investor with Third Rock Ventures."

In connection with the appointment of Dr. Cannell, Sesen Bio entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Cannell that, among other things, provides for the grant of a non-statutory stock option outside of the company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan as an inducement material to Dr. Cannell’s entering into employment with Sesen Bio in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The stock option to purchase 1,350,000 shares of the company’s common stock is being granted effective as of August 7, 2018. The stock option grant was approved by the independent compensation committee of the board of directors in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The stock option will have an exercise price per share equal to the closing price per share of Sesen Bio’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on August 7, 2018. The stock option will have a ten-year term and will vest over a four-year period, with 25 percent of the shares underlying the stock option award vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and an additional 6.25 percent of the shares underlying the stock option vesting at the end of each successive three-month period following the one-year anniversary of the date of grant of the stock option, subject to Dr. Cannell’s continued service with the company through the applicable vesting dates.

"With the proceeds from our IPO and Series B financing, we are well positioned to continue the momentum of developing AG10 as a disease-modifying therapy for ATTR," said Neil Kumar, PhD, chief executive officer of Eidos. "Specifically, we plan to complete our ongoing Phase 2 trial in ATTR-CM patients by the end of 2018 and initiate Phase 3 studies in ATTR-CM and ATTR-PN patients in 2019."

Recent Achievements and Upcoming Milestones

Initiated and completed enrollment in the ongoing Phase 2 trial in ATTR-CM patients.
Completed Series B preferred stock financing raising $64 million.
Completed initial public offering, with total gross proceeds of $122.2 million including exercise of underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, from the sale of 7.2 million shares of common stock.
Complete data from Phase 1 study of AG10 in healthy volunteers to be presented at poster presentation at Heart Failure Society of America 22nd Annual Scientific Meeting (September 15-18).
Top-line results from ongoing Phase 2 study of AG10 in symptomatic ATTR-CM patients to be announced by the end of 2018.
Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2018

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $176.7 million at June 30, 2018 compared with $5.5 million at December 31, 2017, reflecting the $112.2 million of net proceeds from our initial public offering in June 2018 and $64.0 million related to the Series B preferred stock financing.

Research and development expenses were $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2017, an increase of $6.1 million. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses for contract consultants, contract manufacturing and other activities for AG10 clinical trials and increases in headcount and related salaries and expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2017, an increase of $1.4 million. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and employee-related expenses and increases in professional fees and services in connection with becoming a public company.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $10.6 million or $1.38 per common share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million or $0.49 per common share for the same period in 2017.

About AG10

AG10 is an orally-administered small molecule designed to potently stabilize tetrameric transthyretin, or TTR, thereby halting at its outset the series of molecular events that give rise to amyloidosis, or ATTR. AG10 is currently being examined in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with ATTR cardiomyopathy. Top-line results from this trial are expected to be reported by the end of 2018.

AG10 was designed to mimic a naturally-occurring variant of the TTR gene (T119M) that is considered a "rescue mutation" because it has been shown to prevent ATTR in individuals carrying pathogenic, or disease-causing, mutations in the TTR gene. To our knowledge, AG10 is the only TTR stabilizer in development that has been observed to mimic the "super-stabilizing" properties of this rescue mutation.

Teneobio and Poseida Expand Their Partnership to Develop UniDabs® for Advanced CAR-T Therapies

On August 7, 2018 Teneobio, Inc., a next generation multi-specific antibody therapeutics company, and Poseida Therapeutics, Inc., a San Diego-based clinical-stage company translating best-in-class gene engineering technologies into lifesaving cell therapies, reported a new research collaboration and licensing agreement to develop novel CAR-T therapies using Teneobio’s heavy chain only domain antibodies (UniDabs) (Press release, TeneoBio, AUG 7, 2018, View Source [SID1234558319]).

Poseida will apply UniDab binders, which demonstrate significant advantages over traditional single chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) binders, to the development of its next generation CAR-T therapies.

The new collaboration follows a commercial license agreement between the companies that was announced in May of 2017. Under the terms of the new agreement, Teneobio will generate multiple UniDab product candidates using its proprietary UniRat transgenic human antibody ‘heavy-chain only’ rodent platform and its state-of-the-art sequence-based discovery engine, TeneoSeek. Poseida will have exclusive global licensing rights for the clinical development and commercialization of specific UniDabs for CAR-T therapies.

Teneobio Inc. will receive an upfront payment and is eligible to receive future research, development and regulatory milestone payments per UniDab candidate, with total potential earnings of over $250 million for CAR-T therapies developed by Poseida. Teneobio would also receive royalties on worldwide net sales of each CAR-T therapy.

"We are delighted to partner with Poseida and to help create the next generation of cell therapies," said Roland Buelow, CEO of Teneobio. "Domain antibodies have been clinically validated as excellent targeting moieties in CAR-T cells. They confer robust in vivo specificity and efficacy. They are smaller in size, have greater humanicity, and superior developability relative to standard scFv’s. The use of UniDabs as binders in CAR-T products is predicted to result in a lack of tonic signaling and lower immunogenicity, thus solving some of the problems of the first-generation, scFv-based CAR-T therapies."

Eric Ostertag, CEO of Poseida, noted, "Teneobio’s UniDab binders are an ideal match for Poseida’s novel and industry-leading CAR-T platform technologies. Poseida has demonstrated that UniDabs can be engineered to serve as binding molecules for our CAR-T therapeutics and oftentimes may function better than other binders for use in CAR-T products."

"We are pleased to expand our existing partnership with Poseida, whose cutting-edge genetic engineering tools combined with our targeting UniDab candidates will enable the development of the next generation of superior CAR-T therapies to treat cancer. We believe that UniDabs provide differentiated advantages from other targeting moieties, and that their utility and reach will extend beyond antibody therapeutics to novel transformational cell therapy treatments," added Omid Vafa, CBO of Teneobio.
