"2022 was a productive year for us, with numerous clinical and corporate development accomplishments highlighted by the advancement of our lead program, evorpacept, for the treatment of multiple solid tumor indications and hematological malignancies. We also expanded evorpacept into new indications and combinations," said Dr Jaume Pons, Ph.D., Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of ALX Oncology. "These included a Phase 1 trial in urothelial cancer ("UC") in combination with PADCEV, and a new investigational treatment arm in the I-SPY-P1 trial for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive and HER2-low breast cancer in combination with ENHERTU in partnership with Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative."

Dr. Pons added, "2023 is expected to be an eventful year for ALX Oncology with the presentation of data from ASPEN-06, a randomized Phase 2 trial of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab, ramucirumab and paclitaxel for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal junction ("GEJ") cancer in the second half of 2023, and the presentation of dose optimization results from ASPEN-02, a Phase 1b clinical trial of evorpacept in combination with azacitidine in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes ("MDS") in the second half of 2023. Additionally, we are on track to file an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application in the first half of 2023, in collaboration with Tallac Therapeutics, for ALTA-002 that will further expand our clinical pipeline beyond evorpacept."

Anticipated Key Milestones in 2023

Presentation of data from a randomized Phase 2 trial of evorpacept in combination with trastuzumab, ramucirumab and paclitaxel for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive gastric/GEJ cancer (ASPEN-06) in the second half of 2023.
Presentation of dose optimization results of a Phase 1b clinical trial of evorpacept in combination with azacitidine in patients with MDS (ASPEN-02) in the second half of 2023.
Initiation of a Phase 1b dose optimization clinical trial of evorpacept in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory ("r/r") or newly diagnosed ("ND") acute myeloid leukemia ("AML") (ASPEN-05) in the second half of 2023.
Filing an IND for ALTA-002, a SIRPα Toll-like receptor agonist antibody conjugate in collaboration with Tallac Therapeutics in the first half of 2023.
Expansion of the antibody-drug conjugate ("ADC") platform acquired from ScalmiBio to identify clinical development candidates by the second half of 2023.
Recent Clinical Developments for Evorpacept

First patient dosed in ASPEN-07 study evaluating evorpacept in combination with PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv), an ADC, in patients with UC.
In February 2023, ALX Oncology announced the first patient was dosed in the Phase 1 ASPEN-07 study evaluating evorpacept in combination with enfortumab vedotin-ejfv, an ADC, in patients with UC. ASPEN-07 is a phase 1, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of evorpacept in combination with enfortumab vedotin-ejfv in subjects with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic UC.
Presented initial clinical data from the Phase 1a dose escalation portion of the ASPEN-05 trial evaluating evorpacept in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax for the treatment of patients with r/r or ND AML at American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) ("ASH").
In December 2022, ALX Oncology presented a poster presentation at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) showing that the combination of evorpacept with azacitidine and venetoclax is active and generally well tolerated. As of October 3, 2022, 14 patients with either r/r or ND AML have been treated with evorpacept in the Phase 1 dose escalation part of the study, administered at 20 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg once every 2 weeks or 60 mg/kg once every 4 weeks ("Q4W") together with standard dosing of azacitidine and venetoclax.
Evorpacept in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax was generally well tolerated (N=14) with no maximum tolerated dose identified and a maximum administered dose of 60 mg/kg Q4W. In 10 relapsed or refractory AML response-evaluable patients, including 8 that had progressed after prior venetoclax treatment, all experienced a reduction in bone marrow blasts, and 4 achieved a response. In 3 newly diagnosed AML response-evaluable patients, all 3 achieved a response, including 1 complete response ("CR"), 1 CR with incomplete hematologic recovery, and 1 morphologic leukemia free state.
Presented data from ASPEN-03 and ASPEN-04, the Company’s Phase 2 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma ("HNSCC") studies at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) ("SITC").
In November 2022, ALX Oncology presented two Trials in Progress abstracts at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) related to ASPEN-03 and ASPEN-04. ALX Oncology continues to advance ASPEN-03 and ASPEN-04, which are two distinct randomized Phase 2 studies for the treatment of patients with advanced HNSCC in combination with pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy. Patient enrollment for ASPEN-03 and ASPEN-04 continues as planned.

AnHeart Therapeutics Announces Publication of Taletrectinib Global Phase 2 Clinical Trial (TRUST-II) Design in Future Oncology

On March 9, 2023 AnHeart Therapeutics, a clinical-stage global biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel precision oncology therapeutics, reported the publication of clinical trial design of TRUST-II, a global Phase 2 clinical study of taletrectinib in ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors, in the peer-reviewed medical journal, Future Oncology (Press release, AnHeart Therapeutics, MAR 9, 2023, View Source [SID1234628491]).

The paper, "TRUST-II: A global phase II study of taletrectinib in ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors," describes the rationale and design of TRUST-II, a global Phase 2 study of taletrectinib in patients with locally advanced/metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC and other ROS1+ solid tumors. The primary endpoint is objective response rate by IRC. Key secondary endpoints include duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. This trial is currently enrolling patients globally. The paper is published online and can be accessed at: www.futuremedicine.com/doi/10.2217/fon-2022-1059.

"Many patients develop resistance to first-generation inhibitors such as crizotinib within two years of treatment due to progression in the brain or emergence of secondary mutations such as G2032R," said Dr. Misako Nagasaka, lead author, a medical oncologist at the University of California Irvine. "There is a significant unmet medical need for a next-generation ROS1 inhibitor, such as taletrectinib, which is potent against secondary mutations and effectively treats brain metastases while maintaining a favorable safety profile."

"Taletrectinib, a novel next-generation ROS1 inhibitor, was designed specifically to improve efficacy and overcome resistance to first-generation ROS1 inhibitors, and address brain metastasis while conferring fewer neurological adverse events," said Lian Li, M.D., Ph.D., US Chief Medical Officer of AnHeart Therapeutics. "We look forward to advancing the TRUST-II study and bringing the potential effective therapy to patients across the globe who are in desperate need for novel therapies that have improved safety and efficacy. The publication in Future Oncology is critical for the medical community to learn about the rationale and details of the study design."

In another ongoing taletrectinib regional Phase 2 trial (TRUST-I, NCT04395677), the interim data showed an ORR of 92.5% (95% CI: 83.4-97.5) and 50.0% (95% CI: 33.4-66.6) in 67 ROS1 TKI-naïve patients and 38 ROS1 TKI-pretreated patients, respectively. Among the 5 patients with the ROS1 G2032R resistance mutation, 4 of them achieved partial response (PR) and 1 achieved stable disease (SD). In 12 patients with measurable baseline CNS metastases, the IC-ORR was 91.7% (95% CI: 61.5-99.8). Taletrectinib was well-tolerated and most adverse events observed were mild and reversible.

Based on the clinical data accumulated to date, taletrectinib has received Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) from both the US FDA and China NMPA for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC, who are either ROS1 TKI treatment naïve or previously treated with crizotinib.

What are lenalidomide capsules?

Lenalidomide capsules are a prescription medicine, used to treat adults with:

multiple myeloma (MM)
in combination with the medicine dexamethasone
a condition called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Lenalidomide capsules are for the type of MDS with a chromosome problem where part of chromosome 5 is missing. This type of MDS is known as deletion 5q MDS. People with this type of MDS may have low red blood cell counts that require treatment with blood transfusions.
mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) when the disease comes back or becomes worse after treatment with 2 prior medicines, one of which included bortezomib. MCL is a cancer of a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes that are in the lymph nodes.
Lenalidomide capsules should not be used to treat people who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) unless they are participants in a controlled clinical trial.

It is not known if lenalidomide capsules are safe and effective in children.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

What is the most important information I should know about lenalidomide capsules?

Before you begin taking lenalidomide capsules, you must read and agree to all of the instructions in the Lenalidomide REMS program. Before prescribing lenalidomide capsules, your healthcare provider will explain the Lenalidomide REMS program to you and have you sign the Patient-Physician Agreement Form.

Lenalidomide capsules may cause serious side effects including:

Possible birth defects (deformed babies) or death of an unborn baby. Females who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant must not take lenalidomide capsules.
Lenalidomide is similar to the medicine thalidomide. We know thalidomide can cause severe life-threatening birth defects. Lenalidomide capsules have not been tested in pregnant females. Lenalidomide capsules have harmed unborn animals in animal testing.

Females must not get pregnant:

For at least 4 weeks before starting lenalidomide capsules
While taking lenalidomide capsules
During any breaks (interruptions) in your treatment with lenalidomide capsules
For at least 4 weeks after stopping lenalidomide capsules
Females who can become pregnant:

Will have pregnancy tests weekly for 4 weeks, then every 4 weeks if your menstrual cycle is regular, or every 2 weeks if your menstrual cycle is irregular.
If you miss your period or have unusual bleeding, you will need to have a pregnancy test and receive counseling.
Must agree to use two acceptable forms of birth control at the same time, for at least 4 weeks before, while taking, during any breaks (interruptions) in your treatment, and for at least 4 weeks after stopping lenalidomide capsules.
Talk with your healthcare provider to find out about options for acceptable forms of birth control that you may use to prevent pregnancy before, during, and after treatment with lenalidomide capsules.
If you had unprotected sex or if you think your birth control has failed, stop taking lenalidomide capsules immediately and call your healthcare provider right away.
If you become pregnant while taking lenalidomide capsules, stop taking it right away and call your healthcare provider. If your healthcare provider is not available, you can call the REMS Call Center at 1‐888‐423‐5436. Healthcare providers and patients should report all cases of pregnancy to:

FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088, and
The Lenalidomide REMS program at 1‐888‐423‐5436
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors the outcomes of females who take lenalidomide capsules during pregnancy, or if their male partner takes lenalidomide capsules and they are exposed during pregnancy. You can enroll in this registry by calling the Lenalidomide REMS program at the phone number listed above.

Lenalidomide can pass into human semen:

Males, including those who have had a vasectomy, must always use a latex or synthetic condom during any sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female that can become pregnant while taking lenalidomide capsules, during any breaks (interruptions) in your treatment with lenalidomide capsules, and for up to 4 weeks after stopping lenalidomide capsules.
Do not have unprotected sexual contact with a female who is or could become pregnant. Tell your healthcare provider if you do have unprotected sexual contact with a female who is or could become pregnant.
Do not donate sperm while taking lenalidomide capsules, during any breaks (interruptions) in your treatment, and for up to 4 weeks after stopping lenalidomide capsules. If a female becomes pregnant with your sperm, the baby may be exposed to lenalidomide and may be born with birth defects.
Men, if your female partner becomes pregnant, you should call your healthcare provider right away.

Low white blood cells (neutropenia) and low platelets (thrombocytopenia). Lenalidomide capsules cause low white blood cells and low platelets in most people. You may need a blood transfusion or certain medicines if your blood counts drop too low. Your healthcare provider should check your blood counts often especially during the first several months of treatment with lenalidomide capsules, and then at least monthly. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop any bleeding or bruising, during treatment with lenalidomide capsules.
Blood clots. Blood clots in the arteries, veins, and lungs happen more often in people who take lenalidomide capsules. This risk is even higher for people with multiple myeloma who take the medicine dexamethasone with lenalidomide capsules. Heart attacks and strokes also happen more often in people who take lenalidomide capsules with dexamethasone. To reduce this increased risk, most people who take lenalidomide capsules will also take a blood thinner medicine. Before taking lenalidomide capsules, tell your healthcare provider:
If you have had a blood clot in the past
If you have high blood pressure, smoke, or if you have been told you have a high level of fat in your blood (hyperlipidemia)
About all the medicines you take. Certain other medicines can also increase your risk for blood clots. Call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away if you get any of the following during treatment with lenalidomide capsules:
Signs or symptoms of a blood clot in the lung, arm, or leg may include: shortness of breath, chest pain, or arm or leg swelling
Signs or symptoms of a heart attack may include: chest pain that may spread to the arms, neck, jaw, back, or stomach area (abdomen), feeling sweaty, shortness of breath, feeling sick or vomiting
