About Nitric Oxide (NO)

Nitric Oxide (NO) is a powerful molecule, naturally synthesized in the human body, proven to play a critical role in a broad array of biological functions. Currently, exogenous inhaled NO is used in adult respiratory distress syndrome, post certain cardiac surgeries, and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn to treat hypoxemia. Additionally, NO is believed to play a key role in the innate and adaptive immune system response and in vitro studies suggest that NO possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and anticancer properties.

Asher Bio Announces Clinical Trial Collaboration with Merck to Evaluate AB248 in Combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

On June 1, 2022 Asher Biotherapeutics, a biotechnology company developing precisely-targeted immunotherapies for cancer, autoimmune, and infectious diseases, reported that it has entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) for a planned Phase 1a/1b dose escalation and expansion trial to evaluate AB248, Asher Bio’s novel investigational CD8-targeted interleukin 2 (IL-2), as a monotherapy and in combination with KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including melanoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) (Press release, Asher Biotherapeutics, JUN 1, 2022, View Source [SID1234615378]). Under the terms of the agreement, Asher Bio is responsible for conducting the Phase 1a/1b trial, which it expects to initiate in the second half of 2022.

Mechanistically, IL-2 signaling is complementary to PD-1 checkpoint blockade: checkpoint inhibitors release the brakes on T cells, allowing them to kill cancer cells, while IL-2 pushes on the gas pedal driving an increase in the number and activity of T cells. In the clinic, there have been studies conducted on high dose IL-2 as a monotherapy to treat PD-1 failures and on high dose IL-2 in combination with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors in earlier lines of therapy that both demonstrated encouraging activity. However, despite high dose IL-2 efficacy in these settings, severe toxicities significantly hamper use of IL-2 in practice.

Asher Bio previously reported preclinical data from studies of a murine surrogate of AB248, which achieved significant anti-tumor activity as monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD1, without toxicity associated body weight loss. In comparison, treatment with a "not α" IL-2 achieved lower anti-tumor activity and was accompanied by body weight loss.

"We are looking forward to initiating this trial in collaboration with Merck to evaluate AB248 in combination with KEYTRUDA in a range of cancers," said Craig Gibbs, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Asher Bio. "Treatment with PD-1 checkpoint blockade monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or another immunotherapy has become a recommended first line treatment in multiple indications. Yet for patients who failed to achieve a response or who relapse, treatment options are limited. In addition, there is a subset of first line patients where there is an opportunity to enhance the current standard of care. We believe that by precisely focusing the effect of IL-2 to the primary immune cell subset that drives anti-tumor efficacy, AB248 may have the potential to deliver a highly differentiated product profile that could become a backbone of immuno-oncology across a range of solid tumors."

KEYTRUDA is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.

About AB248
AB248 is a novel CD8+ T cell selective IL-2, generated by fusing a reduced potency IL-2 mutein to a humanized IgG1 anti-CD8β antibody. It was specifically engineered to selectively and potently expand CD8+ T-cells, while avoiding natural killer (NK) cells, which can act as a pharmacological sink and contribute to toxicity, and regulatory T (Treg) cells, which are immunosuppressive. In some preclinical studies, AB248 exhibits an approximately 1,000-fold preference for the activation of CD8+ T cells over NK cells and Tregs. In other nonclinical studies, AB248 has demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity both alone and in combination with PD-1 checkpoint blockade in a wide variety of murine tumor models.

At both congresses, new data will be presented from Servier’s phase 3 AGILE study, a global, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIBSOVO (ivosidenib tablets) in combination with azacitidine compared with placebo in combination with azacitidine, in adults with previously untreated IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for intensive chemotherapy (≥75 years old or who have comorbidities that preclude the use of intensive induction chemotherapy). These data build on the efficacy and safety results presented at the 2021 American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting & Exposition. Patients with IDH1-mutated AML have a poor prognosis and have fewer treatment options, especially for newly diagnosed patients who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. This new AGILE data presentation comes on the heels of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of TIBSOVO in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed IDH1-mutated AML.

Ivosidenib monotherapy has breakthrough therapy designation in IDH1 mutated R/R MDS and Servier will be presenting updated efficacy and safety results at both ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper).

"Several of the studies being presented at this year’s ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) and EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) highlight the potential role of IDH inhibition and the company’s overall innovative research portfolio in generating new therapies based on precision approaches," said David K. Lee, CEO, Servier Pharmaceuticals. "Servier Pharmaceuticals has made immense progress since we’ve launched our oncology program in 2018, and we will continue to move the needle for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers."

In the short time the company has been in the U.S., Servier Pharmaceuticals has established a presence in oncology. The company has tripled its oncology portfolio since 2021 with 21 oncology assets at varying stages of clinical development, and 20 research projects.

"Our significant presence at these key congresses demonstrates our long-term commitment to developing innovative therapeutic solutions to meet the needs of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers," said Claude P. Bertrand, Executive Vice President of Research and Development, Servier Group. "We look forward to presenting to the scientific community data across our diverse portfolio, including research on the potential of IDH inhibition in the treatment of cancers with high unmet needs."
