"The dosing of the first patient in this study, which is being conducted in clinical collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is a critical achievement for the development of CM24," said Bertrand Liang, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Purple Biotech. "Targeting CEACAM1 is a cutting-edge approach utilizing the most current knowledge of the interface of the myeloid and T-cell systems in the neoplastic phenotype. We look forward to the availability of preliminary data from the first part of this study which we expect to receive during the second half of this year."

The study is a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial with expansion cohorts in subjects with NSCLC and pancreatic cancer. CM24 will be dose escalated from 10mg/kg, targeting a 20mg/kg dose, in combination with nivolumab in Phase 1b, in patients with NSCLC, pancreatic cancer, ovarian carcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, melanoma or thyroid carcinoma, with the primary objective of evaluating safety, PK and determining the recommended Phase 2 dose. In the Phase 2 component, patients with NSCLC will be treated with CM24 and nivolumab after first-line immuno-oncology failure, and patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be treated with CM24, nivolumab and nab-paclitaxel (ABRAXANE) after first-line therapy failure, with study endpoints being safety and preliminary efficacy. CEACAM1 level of expression, as well as a number of other immune and adhesion-related molecules, will be evaluated as potential biomarkers in the study.

The Phase 1b/2 study will be conducted in multiple countries, with sites anticipated in the U.S., E.U. and Israel. Additional information about the trial can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT Identifier NCT04731467.

The Company also announced that it expects to report that total revenues were between €10.0 million and €10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily driven by strength in its Distribution division, as compared to €7.6 million for the same period in 2020, with the Company’s gross margin expected to be between 40% and 44% for the period, as compared to 40.2% gross margin for the same period in 2020.

In this press release, the Company has presented preliminary estimates of certain unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company has provided ranges, rather than specific amounts, for the preliminary estimates of the unaudited financial information primarily because its financial closing procedures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not yet complete and, as a result, its final results upon completion of its closing procedures may vary materially from the preliminary estimates. The preliminary results are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for this period. In addition, even if the Company’s actual results are consistent with these preliminary results, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. The preliminary estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2021 presented in this press release have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. KPMG S.A., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to such preliminary data. Accordingly, KPMG S.A. does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto, and you should not place undue reliance upon these preliminary estimates.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
