In the first half of 2019, we made significant progress on our clinical milestones, and we expect that momentum to build into the end of the year," said Stephen S. Yoder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pieris. "Last quarter, we presented two clinical data sets, including data from the phase 1 single ascending dose study of PRS-060, an inhaled IL-4 receptor alpha antagonist for moderate-to-severe asthma that was found to be safe and well-tolerated in the study and demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetics and robust target engagement. Looking ahead, we are pleased to announce that we will present data from the phase 1 multiple ascending dose study of that candidate, including the drug’s FeNO-reducing potential versus placebo, at the European Respiratory Society International Congress this fall. We are also pleased to announce that we plan to present data from the phase 1 dose-escalation study of PRS-343, a 4-1BB/HER2 bispecific for HER2-positive solid tumors, at a medical meeting later this year."

PRS-060: Pieris will present detailed data from the ongoing phase 1 multiple ascending dose study of PRS-060, an inhaled IL-4 receptor alpha antagonist for moderate-to-severe asthma, at the 2019 European Respiratory Society International Congress on October 1, 2019. This study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and potential of PRS-060 to reduce fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) versus placebo in patients with mild asthma and elevated levels of FeNO. The Company presented data from the phase 1 single ascending dose study of PRS-060 at the 2019 American Thoracic Society International Conference earlier this year. In that study, PRS-060 was found to be safe and well-tolerated in 54 healthy volunteers, in addition to demonstrating favorable pharmacokinetics and robust target engagement. Upon completion of a phase 2a study sponsored and funded by AstraZeneca, Pieris will have separate options to co-develop and, subsequently, to co-commercialize the drug candidate. PRS-060 is the lead candidate in Pieris’ five-program respiratory collaboration with AstraZeneca.
Respiratory Pipeline: Pieris initiated an additional discovery-stage respiratory program in its alliance with AstraZeneca, bringing the total number of active programs to four; AstraZeneca may initiate one additional program within the alliance. Pieris also initiated an additional proprietary respiratory discovery-stage program and continues to advance the two proprietary discovery-stage programs it initiated last year.
PRS-343: Pieris continues to enroll and treat patients in a phase 1 dose-escalation study of PRS-343, a 4-1BB/HER2 bispecific for HER2-positive solid tumors and plans to report comprehensive data from the study at a medical meeting later this year. The Company also continues to enroll the dose-escalation phase 1 study of PRS-343 in combination with atezolizumab and intends to report data from the study later this year.
Immuno-Oncology Pipeline: Pieris plans to file an IND application for PRS-344, a 4-1BB/PD-L1 bispecific the Company is developing as part of its immuno-oncology collaboration with Servier, later this year. Pieris holds exclusive commercialization rights in the U.S. for PRS-344 and will receive royalties on ex-U.S. sales for this program.
PRS-080: Pieris presented data from the phase 2a study of PRS-080, a half-life-optimized hepcidin antagonist for anemia, at the 24th European Hematology Association (EHA) (Free EHA Whitepaper) Congress. In that study, PRS-080 was safe and well-tolerated, potently inhibited hepcidin, yielded robust iron mobilization, and increased transferrin saturation. At 8mg/kg, there was preliminary evidence of hemoglobin increase in patients treated with PRS-080. ASKA Pharmaceutical Co. currently has an exclusive option for PRS-080 for Japan and other Asian territories. Following delivery of a final study report, ASKA will decide whether to exercise its option to develop and commercialize PRS-080 in those territories.
Board Appointments: Pieris appointed Dr. Maya Said to the Company’s Board of Directors. Dr. Said is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Outcomes4Me, a health technology company focused on providing patients diagnosed with cancer and other chronic life altering diseases with personalized treatment options as well as outcomes information. Her prior experience includes positions at Novartis, where she served as Senior Vice President, Global Head of Oncology Policy & Market Access, and at Sanofi, where she served as Vice President, Head of Strategy, Science Policy & External Innovation, Global R&D.
Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $99.7 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to a cash, cash equivalents and investments balance of $128.1 million as of December 31, 2018.
Additional Financials: Our second quarter 2019 financials will be released with our 10-Q, expected to be filed by Friday, August 9, 2019.
Conference Call:

Pieris management will host a conference call beginning at 8:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday, August 1, 2019 to provide a corporate update. Individuals can join the call by dialing +1-877-407-8920 (US & Canada) or +1-412-902-1010 (International).
