Co-expression of CD8α is anticipated to broaden the immune response against solid tumors and increase antitumor activity by converting CD4+ helper cells into CD8+ killer or cytotoxic T-cells. The preclinical data demonstrate that the addition of CD8a with the engineered TCR in vitro improved engagement and function in CD4+ T-cells that may support clonal expansion of CD8+ T-cells, differentiation into effector and memory T-cells, as well as engage the wider immune system in antitumor responses.

"Our next generation programs are designed to enhance our existing SPEAR T-cells, to improve their ability to target and kill solid tumors. The preclinical data we presented at AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) indicate that adding CD8a to our ADP-A2M4 candidate may help broaden the antitumor immune response against additional tumor antigens. Further, the CD8a co-receptor may enhance the ability of CD4+ SPEAR T-cells to kill cancer cells through the engineered TCR targeting MAGE-A4," said Rafael Amado, Adaptimmune’s President of Research & Development.

Fourth Quarter and Annual 2018 Financial Results

At December 31, 2018, OncoCyte had cash and cash equivalents of $8.0 million and marketable equity securities valued at $0.4 million, for a total of $8.4 million of liquid assets. The balance sheet was strengthened in February 2019 with the successful equity raise of $37.4 million in net proceeds from an underwritten public offering.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, OncoCyte reported a net loss of $4.5 million, or ($0.11) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or ($0.13) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2017.

For 2018, OncoCyte reported a net loss of $15.8 million, or ($0.42) per share, compared to $19.4 million, or ($0.64) per share, in 2017.

Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were $4.0 million as reported, and were $3.5 million on an as adjusted basis. Operating expenses for 2018 were $15.2 million as reported and were $12.5 million on an as adjusted basis.

The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses is provided in the financial tables included with this earnings release.

Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $1.2 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $6.5 million, compared to $7.2 million during 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decreases were primarily attributable to laboratory and other expenses related to diagnostic tests for diseases other than lung cancer as OncoCyte devoted substantially all of its research and development efforts to DetermaVu during 2018.

General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $2.6 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2017. The $0.8 million increase was mainly attributable to personnel and related compensation, primarily related to the hiring of OncoCyte’s Chief Financial Officer and its Chief Operating Officer.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased to $7.0 million from $9.2 million during 2017, a decrease of $2.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, OncoCyte incurred a noncash expense of $4.1 million for the issuance of new warrants to certain investors who exercised outstanding warrants. OncoCyte did not incur a similar expense during 2018. Personnel and related compensation expenses increased by $1.1 million during 2018, primarily related to the hiring of the executives noted above, an increase of $0.5 million in legal, investor relations, financing and other related expenses, and an increase of $0.3 million in noncash stock-based compensation expense due to increased stock option grants.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 were $0.3 million compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million. Sales and marketing expenses for the full-year 2018 were $1.7 million compared to $2.4 million during 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million. These decreases were primarily due the decrease in consulting, marketing, and related expenses as OncoCyte concentrated its resources on the development of DetermaVu rather than on marketing related activities.

About DetermaVu

DetermaVu is being developed as an intermediate step to confirm the absence of cancer after imaging modalities (LDCTs) that detect suspicious lung nodules and before downstream invasive procedures that determine if the nodules are malignant. OncoCyte estimates that a $4.7 billion annual market could develop in the U.S. for its confirmatory lung cancer liquid biopsy test, depending on market penetration and reimbursable pricing.

DetermaVu has the potential to dramatically reduce U.S. healthcare costs by billions of dollars each year by eliminating unnecessary biopsies, which, according to a recent Medicare study, cost on average $14,634 each. In addition, DetermaVu can provide great benefit to patients by avoiding invasive biopsies and the complications that arise in up to 24% of those procedures, and deaths that occur in up to 1% of cases.

DetermaVu is a trademark of OncoCyte Corporation.

Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. Reports 2018 Year End Results and Provides Corporate Update

On April 1, 2019 Xenetic Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: XBIO) ("Xenetic" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, research and development of next-generation biologic drugs and novel orphan oncology therapeutics, reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018 (Press release, Xenetic Biosciences, APR 1, 2019, View Source [SID1234534866]).

Xenetic also provided a corporate update and reviewed plans related to the Company’s recently announced agreement to acquire a novel CAR T ("Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell") platform technology, called "XCART", as well as its oncology therapeutic XBIO-101 (sodium cridanimod), a small-molecule immunomodulator and interferon inducer which, in preliminary studies has been shown to increase progesterone receptor ("PrR") expression in endometrial tumor tissue.

"Upon closing of our recent transformative agreement to acquire XCART, our differentiated CAR T platform technology, Xenetic will be positioned at the forefront of innovation in the development of new oncology therapeutics where there remains significant unmet need," commented Jeffrey Eisenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Xenetic. "Over the course of 2019, we plan to focus our R&D efforts initially on leveraging the XCART platform to develop cell-based therapeutics for the treatment of B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, an initial global market opportunity estimated to exceed $5 billion per year.1 I believe we are well positioned to build momentum and evolve Xenetic into a significant player in the oncology space, which will ultimately drive meaningful value for shareholders."

XCART Technology

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into agreements to acquire the novel XCART platform technology, a proximity-based screening platform capable of identifying CAR constructs that can target patient-specific tumor neoantigens, with a demonstrated proof of mechanism in B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The XCART technology, developed by The Scripps Research Institute in collaboration with the Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, is believed to have the potential to significantly enhance the safety and efficacy of cell therapy for B-cell lymphomas by generating patient- and tumor-specific CAR T cells. The acquisition is subject to conditions typical for a transaction of this kind, including appropriate stockholder approvals, and is expected to close in the first half of 2019.

The XCART technology platform was designed by its originators to utilize an established screening technique to identify peptide ligands that bind specifically to the unique B-cell receptor ("BCR") on the surface of an individual patient’s malignant tumor cells. The peptide is then inserted into the antigen-binding domain of a CAR, and a subsequent transduction/transfection process is used to engineer the patient’s T cells into a CAR T format which redirects the patient’s T cells to attack the tumor. Essentially, the XCART screening platform is the inverse of a typical CAR T screening protocol wherein libraries of highly specific antibody domains are screened against a given target. In the case of XCART screening, the target is itself an antibody domain, and hence highly specific by its nature. The XCART technology creates the possibility of personalized treatment of lymphomas utilizing a CAR with an antigen-binding domain that should only recognize, and only be recognized by, the unique BCR of a particular patient’s B-cell lymphoma.

An expected result for XCART is limited off-tumor toxicities, such as B-cell aplasia. Xenetic’s clinical development program will seek to confirm the early preclinical results, and to demonstrate a more attractive safety profile than existing therapies.

Once the acquisition is consummated, the Company intends to pursue development efforts of the XCART technology as well as other development efforts in the area of CAR T therapy.

XBIO-101 Program Update

XBIO-101 is the Company’s most advanced investigational drug candidate with an Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for the potential treatment of progesterone receptor negative endometrial cancer in conjunction with progesterone therapy. The Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial for XBIO-101 commenced patient dosing in October 2017. The trial targets a population of patients who have either failed progestin monotherapy or who have been identified as having progesterone receptor negative ("PrR-") tumors. The Company closed patient enrollment of the trial in March 2019 as a result of slower than expected progress on the trial resulting from patient enrollment and retention challenges.

Xenetic is currently in the process of identifying development paths for XBIO-101, particularly those that can efficiently leverage the existing human data and regulatory status to extend development into immuno-oncology settings.

Summary of Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2018

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018, was approximately $7.3 million. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $153.2 million at December 31, 2018 as compared to an accumulated deficit of approximately $145.9 million at December 31, 2017. Working capital (deficit) was approximately $(0.4) million and $3.9 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s working capital decreased by $4.3 million due primarily to outflows for general operating costs and costs related to our XBIO-101 Phase 2 clinical trial. These cash outflows were partially offset by approximately $1.5 million of proceeds received from the exercise of warrants during the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company ended the year with approximately $0.6 million of cash. Subsequent to year-end, on March 7, 2019, the Company completed a registered direct offering of common stock with gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

TCR2 Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

On April 1, 2019 TCR2 Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRR), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing the next generation of novel T cell therapies for patients suffering from cancer, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018 and provided a corporate update (Press release, TCR2 Therapeutics, APR 1, 2019, View Source [SID1234534865]).

"TCR2 has achieved important scientific, clinical, and operational milestones over the past year," said Garry Menzel, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of TCR2 Therapeutics. "Although adoptive T cell therapies have made significant progress in the fight against cancer, our TRuC platform has the potential to both improve upon existing options and expand their use. TC-210 has cleared its IND and we have initiated our Phase 1/2 clinical trial, with initial data expected later this year. We also remain on track to submit an IND for TC-110 in the second half of 2019. In February, we successfully completed our initial public offering, a significant step for the Company which further strengthened our financial position."

2018 Corporate Highlights

Advanced TC-210, TCR2’s lead T cell receptor (TCR) Fusion Construct T cell (TRuC T cell) product candidate, to investigational new drug (IND) application submission in December 2018 and IND clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2019. TCR2 engineered TC-210 T cells to target and kill mesothelin-expressing cancers while engaging the entire TCR, independent of human leukocyte antigens (HLA). In preclinical studies, TC-210 has demonstrated better anti-tumor activity, longer persistence, and lower cytokine release compared to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells engineered with the same mesothelin binder. TCR2 initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for TC-210 to treat patients with mesothelin-positive solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer, malignant pleural/peritoneal mesothelioma, and cholangiocarcinoma. TCR2 expects to generate its first clinical data for TC-210 in the second half of 2019.

Expanded the TCR2 pipeline, initiating IND-enabling studies for TC-110 and TC-220 product candidates, and building next-generation enhancements into the TRuC platform.

TC-110 is a CD19 targeted TRuC-T cell product candidate designed to treat patients with CD19-positive B-cell hematological malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (aALL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and other non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes. In preclinical studies, TC-110 has shown better anti-tumor activity and persistence compared to CD28 and 4-1BB CAR-T cells engineered with the same CD19 binder, while also exhibiting lower levels of cytokine release.

TC-220 is a MUC16 (Mucin 16, Cell Surface Associated)-targeted TRuC-T cell product candidate designed to treat patients with MUC16-positive solid tumors. MUC16 is highly expressed in many solid tumors, including ovarian, pancreatic, gastric, and colorectal cancers. TC-220 has shown strong anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of MUC16-positive ovarian cancers. TCR2 plans to file an IND for TC-220 in the first half of 2020.

TCR2 is developing several additional tools that may be incorporated into future TRuC product candidates to overcome tumor defense mechanisms, including dual-antigen targeting and strategies to counter the immunosuppressive microenvironment of solid tumors. TCR2 is also evaluating multiple proprietary designs for allogeneic, or off the shelf, TRuC-T cells.

Established semi-automated Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) manufacturing process. TCR2 currently manufactures GMP-grade clinical lots for TC-210 through third-party contractors. In December 2018, TCR2 entered into an agreement with Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) Catapult Limited (Catapult), which will allow TCR2 to manufacture TRuC-T cells using its own personnel at CGT Catapult’s facility in Stevenage, UK. The TCR2 CGT Catapult facility is expected to be operational in the second half of 2019. At full capacity, TCR2 estimates this facility would expand its manufacturing capacity to a total of approximately 400 treatments per year.

Raised $125 million in an oversubscribed Series B financing round in March 2018. The financing was co-led by 6 Dimensions Capital and Curative Ventures with participation from new investors Redmile and Arrowmark and all of TCR2’s Series A investors.

Strengthened its management and board in 2018. This included adding Ian Somaiya as Chief Financial Officer, along with Neil Gibson Ph.D. and Andrew Allen M.D., Ph.D. to the Board of Directors.

Recent Developments

In January 2019, the FDA cleared the IND for TC-210. TCR2 initiated its Phase 1/2 trial to treat patients with NSCLC, ovarian cancer, malignant pleural/peritoneal mesothelioma, and cholangiocarcinoma. TCR2 expects to generate initial data from the trial in the second half of 2019.

In February 2019, TCR2 completed an initial public offering pursuant to which it issued and sold 5,750,000 shares of common stock, including full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, resulting in net proceeds of $80.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

In February 2019, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to TC-210 for the treatment of mesothelioma.

TCR2 recently held a pre-IND meeting with the FDA and remains on track to submit an IND for TC-110 in the second half of 2019.

In February 2019, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No.: 10,208,285, with claims covering TCR2’s TRuC-T cells that express anti-mesothelin TCR fusion proteins, including TC-210.

Anticipated Milestones
TCR2 plans to advance its first three TRuC-T cell product candidates into clinical trials by the first half of 2020, while also establishing and expanding its manufacturing capabilities through its collaboration with CGT Catapult.

TC-210 – release initial Phase 1 data from the Phase 1/2 trial in 2H 2019.

TC-110 – IND submission in 2H 2019.

TC-220 – IND submission in 1H 2020.

Catapult manufacturing facility – operational in 2H 2019.

Financial Highlights

TCR2 ended 2018 with $123.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments compared to $19.8 million as of December 31, 2017. Net cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $123.0 million compared to $16.2 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net cash used in operations was $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $24.3 million compared to $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Research and development expenses were $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily related to increase in headcount and preclinical development of our lead solid tumor product candidate, TC-210.
General and administrative expenses were $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs.

Cytori Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Business and Financial Results

On April 1, 2019 Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) ("Cytori" or the "Company") reported its fourth quarter and year-end 2018 financial results and provided updates on corporate activities (Press release, Cytori Therapeutics, APR 1, 2019, View Source [SID1234534864]). Also announced was a transaction to divest certain cell therapy assets to Lorem Vascular of Melbourne, Australia yielding $4MM in non-dilutive funding to the Company .

Fourth quarter 2018 net loss was $2.2 million, or $0.16 per share. Operating cash burn for the fourth quarter of 2018 was approximately $2.5 million. Cytori ended the year with approximately $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.

"This transaction sale accomplishes a number of important objectives for the company," said Dr. Marc Hedrick, Cytori President & Chief Executive Officer. "Most critically it allows us to further increase the focus on our clinical stage oncology pipeline while bringing in non-dilutive capital. We also are able to maintain our most valuable cell therapy assets, including Japan that has a forthcoming trial readout in our ADRESU trial."

Our lead clinical stage asset, Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Cytori, formerly called ATI-0918, is an important potential therapy for Breast and Ovarian Cancer, Multiple Myeloma and Kaposi’s Sarcoma. Our current development program is focused in Europe where we believe there is a potential market opportunity of $120 million annually. In Q1 2019, Cytori submitted a letter of intent to file a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Cytori. Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Cytori is being developed as a generic version of Janssen’s Caelyx pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. The Company continues to evaluate potential development and commercialization partnering opportunities for Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Cytori with a focus on Europe and China. European approval and launch of Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Cytori is projected to be in late 2020.

Our second clinical stage oncology focused asset is ATI-1123, a phase II ready, patented, albumin-stabilized pegylated liposomal docetaxel. In 2018, the Company received an orphan drug designation from the U.S. FDA for the indication of small cell lung cancer and is pursuing a 505(b)(2) new drug application (NDA) pathway in the U.S. which may offer an accelerated clinical timeline and lower development cost. The Company is exploring near term development strategies and intends to advance this program aggressively in 2019.

Cytori’s ADRESU pivotal urinary incontinence trial using Cytori Cell Therapy has completed enrollment and anticipates data read out in the second quarter of 2019. If the data is positive, Cytori intends to seek expedited approval and reimbursement for the Japanese market for this indication. In Q1 2019, Cytori received approval from the United States Food & Drug Administration to expand the enrollment criteria for its RELIEF clinical trial of intravenously delivered Cytori Cell Therapy for patients with severe burn injuries.
