About MANIFEST

MANIFEST is an open-label Phase 2 clinical trial of CPI-0610 in patients with myelofibrosis (MF), a rare cancer of the bone marrow that disrupts the body’s normal production of blood cells. Constellation is evaluating CPI-0610 in combination with ruxolitinib in JAK-inhibitor-naïve MF patients (Arm 3), with a primary endpoint of the proportion of patients with a ≥35% spleen volume reduction from baseline (SVR35) after 24 weeks of treatment. Constellation is also evaluating CPI-0610, either as a monotherapy in patients who are resistant to, intolerant of, or ineligible for ruxolitinib and no longer on the drug (Arm 1), or as add-on therapy in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with a sub-optimal response to ruxolitinib or MF progression (Arm 2). Patients in Arms 1 and 2 are being stratified based on Transfusion Dependence (TD) status. The primary endpoint for the patients in cohorts 1A and 2A, who were TD at baseline, is conversion to Transfusion Independence for 12 consecutive weeks. The primary endpoint for the patients in cohorts 1B and 2B, who were not TD at baseline, is the proportion of patients with a ≥35% spleen volume reduction from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment.

Teneobio Announces Poseida’s Exercise of Four Commercial License Options for UniDabs to Targets for Advanced CAR T-cell Therapies

On November 23, 2020 Teneobio, Inc., a clinical stage next generation, multi-specific antibody therapeutics company, reported that in 2020, Poseida exercised four options to commercial licenses for Teneobio human heavy chain only domain antibodies, UniDabs, to develop novel CAR T therapies (Press release, TeneoBio, NOV 23, 2020, View Source;utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=poseida-commercial-license-options-for-unidabs-target-cart-cell-terapies [SID1234571576]). Poseida will apply licensed UniDab binders, which possess significant advantages over traditional single chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) binders, to develop its next generation CAR-T therapies. Targets were not disclosed.

This announcement follows the expansion of a commercial license agreement between the companies that was announced in August of 2018. Under the terms of that agreement, Teneobio would 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 would have exclusive global licensing rights for the clinical development and commercialization of specific UniDabs for CAR cell therapies.

Teneobio Inc. receives commercial licensing fees for these milestones 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 excited that Poseida has exercised multiple commercial license options on UniDabs to create the next generation of cell therapies," said Omid Vafa, CBO of Teneobio. "UniDabs have been preclinically and clinically validated as excellent human single domain antibody targeting moieties of CAR T-cells. They have demonstrated both in vivo specificity and robust efficacy. Their advantageous smaller in size, and superior developability relative to standard scFv’s make them ideal for CAR T-cell products."

Eric Ostertag, CEO of Poseida, added, "We have evaluated a large number of binding technologies for use in our CAR-T platforms and view single domain antibodies as one of the most superior. In our view, the fact that Teneobio’s VH binders are fully human makes them a better option than camelid VHH single domain antibodies."
