About Brain Cancer Awareness Month:
This KOL webinar will be hosted during Brain Tumor Awareness Month, which is also known as "Gray May". This month is meant to bring support and awareness to the estimated 700,000 people in the US living with primary brain tumors and to their families and caregivers. Patients with primary brain tumors have a low 5-year survival rate of only 35.6% and have limited treatment options due to the lack of effective drugs that can cross the blood brain barrier. For more information, please visit the Brain Tumor Awareness month website.

GBM is one of the most common types of primary brain tumors with an estimated 13,000 people in the US diagnosed each year. Patients with GBM have a very poor prognosis with a median overall survival of 24 months. The low survival rate of patients with GBM is in part due to the lack of effective new therapies that can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and there is an urgent and unmet clinical need for new therapies. In preclinical studies, Lantern’s drug candidate, LP-184, has shown potency against unmethylated and methylated types of GBM as well as the ability to cross the BBB.

"We are now completing the monotherapy dose-escalation study for SL-172154 in ovarian cancer patients and are focused on the initiation and rapid clinical execution of multiple combination studies in both hematologic and solid tumors. This expansion is a critical step in establishing SL-172154 as both a first- and best-in-class CD47 inhibitor and CD40 agonist, and we continue to expect SL-172154 to differentiate from other CD47 inhibitors and CD40 agonists in terms of safety, pharmacodynamic activity, and efficacy in combinations. The next 18 months are shaping up to be a defining period for establishing CD47 inhibition as a key macrophage checkpoint in multiple indications, and we look forward to providing initial combination data from SL-172154 in the first half of 2023," said Taylor Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., and Chief Executive Officer of Shattuck.

First Quarter 2022 Recent Business Highlights and Other Recent Developments

ARC Clinical-Stage Pipeline and Preclinical Pipeline

SL-172154 (SIRPα-Fc-CD40L)

Continued Enrollment of SL-172154 Phase 1A Dose-Escalation Clinical Trial in Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer: This open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation clinical trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, anti-tumor activity, and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-172154 administered intravenously in patients with platinum resistant ovarian cancer. Full dose-escalation data from the trial are expected in the first half of 2023.
Phase 1B Clinical Trial of SL-172154 in Combination with Liposomal Doxorubicin Expected to Begin in the Second Half of 2022: This clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, anti-tumor activity, and pharmacodynamics effects of SL-172154 in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in patients with advanced, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and is anticipated to begin enrollment in the second half of 2022. Initial combination data from the trial are expected in the first half of 2023. Additional combination trials with SL-172154 in ovarian cancer and novel agents are currently being planned.
Enrollment Continues in SL-172154 Phase 1A/B Clinical Trial in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (HR-MDS): The trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, anti-tumor activity, and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-172154, as both monotherapy and in combination. In both HR-MDS and TP53 mutant AML, SL-172154 will be combined with azacitidine. In AML, SL-172154 will be evaluated in combination with both azacitidine and venetoclax. Initial data from the monotherapy and combination dose escalation portions of the trial are expected in the first half of 2023.
Data for Intratumorally Administered SL-172154 Phase 1 Clinical Trial in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck or Skin to be Presented in the Second Half of 2022: Shattuck anticipates presenting data from the clinical trial in the second half of 2022. Shattuck may continue further development of SL-172154 in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) or skin (CSCC) via intravenous administration following selection of a recommended Phase 2 dose in ovarian cancer.
SL-279252 (PD1-Fc-OX40L)

Continued Enrollment of SL-279252 Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Clinical Trial in Advanced Solid Tumors: Enrollment of patients with primarily PD-L1 selected tumors continues in the Phase 1 open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-279252 in patients with advanced solid tumors and lymphoma. Top-line data from all treated subjects across the full dose range are anticipated in the second half of 2022.
Preclinical

Presented Preclinical Data on SL-9258 at AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) in April: Preclinical data for SL-9258 (TIGIT-Fc-LIGHT), a dual TIGIT inhibitor and HVEM/LTβR agonist, were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper) Annual Meeting (AACR) (Free AACR Whitepaper) in April 2022. These data, from studies in a mouse model, provided preclinical evidence for anti-tumor activity of the murine equivalent of SL-9258 in PD-1 acquired resistant tumors and increased tumor rejection in comparison to TIGIT blocking antibodies. In these preclinical models, TIGIT-Fc-LIGHT outperformed TIGIT blocking antibodies independent of PD-L1 or DNAM-1 (CD226) expression. TIGIT-Fc-LIGHT was also evaluated and well tolerated in non-human primates and observed similar on-target pharmacodynamic activity to what was characterized in the mouse model. Together, these results suggest that TIGIT-Fc-LIGHT may provide clinical benefit to patients that are refractory to conventional checkpoint blockade therapy.
Presented Preclinical Data at AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) on GADLEN Platform: Shattuck also presented preclinical data highlighting the potential of GADLENs to direct gamma delta T cells to kill tumor cells and, in the process, further elucidate tumor cell markers which are important for the therapeutic activity of gamma delta T cell-based therapies. Butyrophilin heterodimeric fusion proteins from Shattuck’s GADLEN platform showed enhanced tumor cell killing targeting CD19 and CD20 and demonstrated preclinical proof of concept in the treatment of cancer.
Clinical Pipeline Product Candidate to be Selected in 2022: As Shattuck looks to advance its preclinical pipeline, a new product candidate from the ARC or GADLEN platform is anticipated to be selected in the second half of 2022.

Oncuria is the first-of-its-kind multiplex protein-based urine test to provide early and accurate detection, therapy choice, and disease monitoring of bladder cancer. The Luminex-based multiplex assay panel combines Bio-Techne’s high-quality reagents and over 40 years of industry-leading immunoassay experience with Nonagen’s diagnostic expertise to create a powerful solution to advance bladder cancer treatment strategies. The partnership demonstrates Bio-Techne’s commitment to supporting laboratory developed tests (LDTs) to bring clinical diagnostic tools to the market.

Nonagen Bioscience and Bio-Techne are targeting the last quarter of calendar 2022 to make Oncuria available as an LDT.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Oncuria a Breakthrough Device Designation in September 2021, for predicting response to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy, a first-line treatment for bladder cancer. The designation enables close collaboration with, and expedited review of the assay by the FDA. It also provides formal acknowledgement of Oncuria’s utility and potential clinical benefit.

"We’re excited to partner with Bio-Techne to make Oncuria available as a laboratory developed test (LDT), given their extensive biomarker discovery expertise," said Nonagen Bioscience CEO Charles Joel Rosser, MD, MBA. "Bio-Techne also shares our passion for translating research discoveries into innovative diagnostics, to improve the detection and management of cancer."

"We look forward to working with Nonagen to develop this game-changing immunoassay in the fight against bladder cancer," said Will Geist, President of Bio-Techne’s Protein Sciences division. "Nonagen’s deep experience in diagnostic and testing research is complementary to Bio-Techne’s extensive immunoassay expertise and world-class manufacturing capabilities, creating an ideal partnership for this important bladder cancer detection assay."

About Bladder Cancer
As the 6th most common cancer in the United States1 and a highly recurrent disease, bladder cancer is a major health concern that places an immense burden on healthcare systems. Up to 77% of early-stage bladder tumors that are treated with current approaches (tumor resection and/or intravesical BCG or chemotherapy) will recur.2 More than half of patients who receive BCG therapy as the first-line treatment for bladder cancer will fail to respond. In addition, in 20% of patients, the disease grows and extends during or after BCG therapy.3,4

This is where the exceptional sensitivity and rapid biomarker quantification capabilities of the Oncuria diagnostic assay are poised to play a vital role. The ability to quickly and accurately detect the presence of bladder cancer and monitor disease activity can help improve patient outcomes.
