The pirtobrutinib oral and poster presentations will provide updated clinical data from the ongoing BRUIN Phase 1/2 study in previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), Richter transformation, and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. In addition, an analysis of the safety and tolerability of pirtobrutinib monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies who were intolerant to a prior covalent BTK inhibitor will be presented in a poster presentation. Submitted abstracts on CLL/SLL, Richter transformation, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and intolerance to prior covalent BTK therapy utilized a January 2022 data cut-off date, and the presentations will utilize a July 2022 data cut-off date.

About Pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305)
Pirtobrutinib is an investigational, highly selective, reversible (non-covalent) Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. BTK plays a key role in the B-cell antigen receptor signaling pathway, which is required for the development, activation and survival of normal white blood cells, known as B-cells, and malignant B-cells. BTK is a validated molecular target found across numerous B-cell leukemias and lymphomas including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Pirtobrutinib was developed to reversibly bind BTK, deliver consistently high target coverage regardless of BTK turnover rate, and preserve activity in the presence of the C481 acquired resistance mutations. Interested patients and physicians can contact the Loxo@Lilly Physician and Patient BTK Clinical Trial Hotline at 1-855-LOXO-305 or email [email protected].

About the BRUIN Phase 1/2 Trial
The BRUIN Phase 1/2 clinical trial is the ongoing first-in-human, global, multi-center evaluation of pirtobrutinib in patients previously treated for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or other non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL).

The trial includes a Phase 1 dose-escalation phase, a Phase 1b combination arm, and a Phase 2 dose-expansion phase. The primary endpoint of the Phase 1/1b study is safety, and secondary endpoints include pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of the drug combinations. The primary endpoint for Phase 2 is overall response rate. Secondary endpoints include duration of response, overall survival, safety, and pharmacokinetics.

P-FVIII-101 is a liver-directed gene therapy product candidate for the in vivo treatment of Hemophilia A utilizing the Company’s non-viral piggyBac DNA Delivery System combined with its nanoparticle delivery technology. Compared to current generation gene therapy approaches that use traditional adeno-associated virus (AAV), the Company’s non-viral gene delivery strategy is designed to enable potential single treatment cures with lower toxicity to mitigate safety issues, allow for re-dosing if needed and deliver optimized FVIII transgenes without cargo size limitations.

The oral presentation will highlight preclinical data from initial proof-of-concept studies, which demonstrated that a single administration of P-FVIII-101 resulted in durable expression of the Factor VIII protein at therapeutic levels in a dose-responsive manner. Expression of Factor VIII was shown to be sustained over six months in mouse models. These data illustrate the potential of P-FVIII-101 utilizing piggyBac to provide a long-term durable response for the treatment of Hemophilia A, early in life, with stable integration.

I-Mab Announces Two Poster Presentations of CD47 Antibody Lemzoparlimab at ASH 2022

"While rapidly advancing the clinical development of lemzoparlimab, we continue to pursue the full clinical potential of lemzoparlimab and validating its combination strategies through preclinical and translational research," said Dr. Andrew Zhu, President and acting CEO of I-Mab. "The data being presented at ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) will feature the results of biomarker analysis from a phase 2 study of lemzoparlimab and azacitidine in myelodysplastic syndrome, as well as highlight preclinical evidence of the exploration of two promising immuno-oncology targets, CD47 and CD38, in combination therapy in multiple myeloma."

The accepted abstracts are currently available on the ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) website:

Title:

Molecular Biomarker Analyses for Exploring the Therapeutic Mechanism of Lemzoparlimab and Azacitidine (AZA) in Newly Diagnosed Higher Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (HR-MDS)

Abstract ID:

3974

Presenter:

Prof. Chunkang Chang, Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital

Session:

604. Molecular Pharmacology and Drug Resistance: Myeloid Neoplasms: Poster III

Location:

Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Hall D

Date/Time:

Monday, December 12, 2022, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET

Abstract synopsis: The data show an increased calreticulin (CALR) expression in CD33+ blasts after lemzoparlimab and AZA combination treatment and higher immune infiltrates including total, CD91+ macrophages and CD8/Treg ratio in bone marrow at baseline is associated with better clinical response, suggesting the important role of activation of tumor derived pro-phagocytic signal and effector immune cells in the anti-tumor activity mediated by combination treatment. In addition, patients whose malignancy harbors a TP53 mutation showed a higher CALR expression and immune infiltrates in bone marrow, which may be related with the observed better clinical response than those with wild type (WT) TP53. Our results pinpoint the potential mechanism of clinical benefits from lemzoparlimab and AZA treatment in HR-MDS.

Title:

Exploration of the Therapeutic Effects of CD47 and CD38 Antibody Combination in Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Abstract ID:

4462

Presenter:

Dr. Fanny Zhang, I-Mab

Session:

651. Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Dyscrasias: Basic and Translational: Poster III

Location:

Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Hall D

Date/Time:

Monday, December 12, 2022, 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET

Abstract synopsis: In this research we found that high CD47 and low CD38 expression was related with poor clinical outcome in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (rrMM) patients especially those high-risk populations. Combination of lemzoparlimab and felzartamab showed enhanced in vitro antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in these CD47-high and CD38-low high-risk MM which was resistant to felzartamab or daratumumab mono-treatment. Our study provides preclinical evidence to explore the combination of lemzoparlimab and felzartamab in the treatment of high-risk MM patients.

Additional data collected will be included in final meeting presentations. Both posters will be made available on the Company’s website following the close of ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) annual meeting on December 13, 2022.

About CD47 and Lemzoparlimab

CD47 is a cell surface protein over-expressed in a wide variety of cancers and can act to protect tumors by delivering a "don’t eat me" signal to otherwise tumor-engulfing macrophages. CD47 antibody blocks this signal and enables macrophages to attack tumor cells. However, development of CD47 antibody as a cancer therapy has been hampered by its hematologic side effects, such as severe anemia, caused by natural binding of CD47 antibody to red blood cells. Scientists at I-Mab discovered a novel CD47 antibody, lemzoparlimab, that is designed to target tumor cells while exerting a minimal untoward effect on red blood cells.

Multiple clinical studies of lemzoparlimab are ongoing to explore indications in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), and advanced solid tumors in combination with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors.

About Felzartamab

Felzartamab (TJ202/MOR202) is an investigational human monoclonal antibody derived from MorphoSys’ HuCAL antibody technology. The antibody is directed against CD38 on the surface of multiple myeloma cells, which has been characterized as one of the most strongly and uniformly expressed antigens on the surface of malignant plasma cells. According to its suggested mode of action, the antibody recruits cells of the body’s immune system to kill the tumor through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). The antibody does not involve complement dependent cytotoxicity, or CDC, an additional immune mechanism involved in tumor cell killing. Scientific research suggests that an anti-CD38 antibody may have therapeutic potential also in other cancers as well as autoimmune diseases. Based on a licensing agreement between MorphoSys and I-Mab signed in November 2017, I-Mab owns the exclusive rights for development and commercialization of TJ202/MOR202 in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao.
