"We are encouraged by the preliminary performance of batiraxcept in combination with cabozantinib in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma," said Gail McIntyre, Ph.D., DABT, Chief Executive Officer of Aravive. "These results highlight the potential of batiraxcept to improve outcomes for patients with advanced kidney cancer. We look forward to sharing these new clinical data with the research and medical community at this year’s SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) Annual Meeting."

As of July 21, 2021, seven patients received at least one dose of batiraxcept 15 mg/kg in combination with cabozantinib, six patients were ongoing treatment, and five patients were evaluable for efficacy. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Trough levels at cycle 1 day 15 were above the minimal efficacious concentration identified from the Company’s model informed drug development approach, and serum GAS6 levels were suppressed prior to cycle 2 day 1. A best overall response of partial response was observed in 3 of 5 patients (60%, unconfirmed as of July 21, 2021), based on investigator assessment, RECIST v 1.1 criteria. In addition, all patients demonstrated tumor decrease from baseline.

Aravive’s presentation at the SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) Annual Meeting will include updated safety, PK, PD, and clinical activity data from a larger set of patients treated with batiraxcept 15 mg/kg in combination with cabozantinib as of October 16, 2021.

About the Batiraxcept (AVB-500) Phase 1b/2 ccRCC Trial
Aravive initiated the Phase 1b portion of the Phase 1b/2 trial of batiraxcept in ccRCC in March 2021. The Phase 1b portion of the clinical trial, a dose escalation study, is expected to enroll approximately 18 patients in three dosing arms (15 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg) to evaluate tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of batiraxcept in combination with cabozantinib. The controlled, randomized, open-label Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial is expected to enroll approximately 45 patients and investigate the recommended batiraxcept dose identified during the Phase 1b portion of the clinical trial in combination with cabozantinib versus cabozantinib alone. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. The trial is enrolling patients with advanced ccRCC who have progressed on front-line treatment. The Phase 1b/2 trial is listed on clinicaltrials.gov NCT04300140.

About Batiraxcept (AVB-500)
Batiraxcept is a therapeutic recombinant fusion protein that has been shown to neutralize GAS6 activity by binding to GAS6 with very high affinity in preclinical models. In doing so, batiraxcept selectively inhibits the GAS6-AXL signaling pathway, which is upregulated in multiple cancer types including ovarian, renal and pancreatic cancer. In preclinical studies, GAS6-AXL inhibition has shown anti-tumor activity in combination with a variety of anticancer therapies, including radiation therapy, immuno-oncology agents, and chemotherapeutic drugs that affect DNA replication and repair. Increased expression of AXL and GAS6 in tumors has been correlated with poor prognosis and decreased survival and has been implicated in therapeutic resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics and targeted therapies. Batiraxcept is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials and has been granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and orphan drug designation by the European Commission in platinum resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.

On November 9, 2021 Selecta Biosciences, Inc.

"The third quarter of 2021 was filled with many significant advancements that further validated the value and breadth of our innovative ImmTOR platform, including important milestones across our pipeline and the establishment of numerous collaborations that will continue to propel us forward in the year ahead," said Carsten Brunn, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Selecta. "We recently presented topline data from the empty AAV8 capsid study, SEL-399 in healthy volunteers. We believe this pioneering proof-of-concept study showed for the first time ImmTOR’s potential to address one of the biggest limitations in gene therapy: preventing the formation of anti-AAV8 neutralizing antibodies after ImmTOR treatment with AAVs and enabling re-dosing of life-saving gene therapies. We are excited to build on these exciting findings, which will inform our clinical development strategy and bring hope to those patients suffering from monogenic disease. We continue to prosecute our clinical pipeline, execute value accretive business development with world class partners and add talent and depth to our leadership team."

Recent Highlights and Anticipated Upcoming Milestones:
Enzyme Therapies:

SEL-212 for chronic refractory gout: Enrollment for the Phase 3 DISSOLVE clinical program for the treatment of chronic refractory gout, which was licensed to Sobi, is progressing as planned.
Topline data is expected in the second half of 2022.
ImmTOR with IgA1 protease for IgA nephropathy: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal failure. Current treatments fail to address the root cause of the disease.
Investigational New Drug, or IND, enabling studies are underway. Selecta expects to file an IND in IgA nephropathy in 2022 and will provide additional updates.
Gene Therapies:

First-in-human trial of SEL-399: In collaboration with AskBio, Selecta initiated the first-in-human, dose-escalation trial of SEL-399, an adeno-associated viral serotype 8 (AAV8) empty vector capsid (EMC-101) containing no DNA combined with ImmTOR. The key objective was to determine the dose regimen of ImmTOR to effectively mitigate the formation of antibodies to AAV8 capsids used in gene therapies. Data was released on November 8, 2021. Key findings included:
No Serious Adverse Events were reported. All treatment-related adverse events were expected for ImmTOR, readily monitorable, and transient
At 30 days 6 of 6 or 100% of subjects that received 0.3 mg/kg of ImmTOR exhibited an anti-AAV8 neutralizing antibody titer of 1:25 or less. 4 of 6 or 67% of subjects at this dose had a titer of 1:5 or less
At 30 days 6 of 9 or 67% of subjects that received 0.15 mg/kg of ImmTOR exhibited an anti-AAV8 neutralizing antibody titer of 1:25 or less. 2 of 9 or 22% of subjects at this dose had a titer of 1:5 or less
At 90 days 2 of 6 subjects in the 0.3 mg/kg cohort were observed to have sustained control of neutralizing antibodies with titers of 1:25 or less
Consistent with preclinical data, we observed that the single dose ImmTOR cohorts saw delayed formation of neutralizing antibodies eventually reaching similar median levels of neutralizing antibodies to the control group by day 90
While most subjects treated with ImmTOR showed increases in antibody titers by Day 90, preclinical studies in mice and nonhuman primates indicate that if antibodies can be controlled at Day 30, we can maintain control with additional two monthly doses of ImmTOR.

SEL-302 for methylmalonic acidemia (MMA): IND filed for SEL-302 (MMA-101 in combination with ImmTOR), for the treatment of MMA, a rare metabolic disease in which the body cannot break down certain proteins and fats.
IND filed in Q3 2021, 30-day FDA review period has expired.
FDA has orally communicated they are still considering certain aspects of the submission related to chemistry, manufacturing and control, or CMC.
Formal FDA decision on IND expected by the end of November.
SEL-313 for ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTC deficiency): Selecta’s proprietary gene therapy product candidate, SEL-313, is being developed to treat OTC deficiency, a rare genetic urea cycle disorder that causes ammonia to accumulate in the blood due to mutations in the OTC gene.
SEL-313 is currently in preclinical development and a clinical trial application, or CTA, and/or IND filing are expected in 2022.
Restoring Self-Tolerance in Autoimmune Diseases:

Selecta continues IND-enabling work on an ImmTOR-based approach to treating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and expects to file an IND in PBC in the second half of 2022.
Corporate Updates:

Strategic Collaborations:
Gene Therapies
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited ("Takeda"): Strategic licensing agreement to develop next-generation gene therapies in two lysosomal storage disorders. The collaboration leverages Selecta ImmTOR platform to enable redosing of transformative therapies.
Genovis: Strategic licensing agreement to advance a next-generation IgG protease. This partnership leverages Genovis’ proprietary and differentiated immunoglobulin G (IgG) protease, IdeXork (Xork), and Selecta’s ImmTOR platform to enable the dosing of transformative gene therapies in patients with pre-existing adeno-associated virus (AAV) immunity and treat certain IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. Xork shows low crossreactivity to pre-existing antibodies in human sera. The combination of Xork with ImmTOR has the potential to address two of the biggest immunological challenges to gene therapy – expanding access to gene therapies by overcoming pre-existing antibodies to AAV and enabling vector re-dosing.
Enzymes
Ginkgo Bioworks ("Ginkgo"): Partnership to design novel enzymes and proteins with transformative therapeutic potential to advance treatments for orphan and rare diseases. This partnership leverages Ginkgo’s cell programing platform and Selecta’s ImmTOR platform to create transformative biologic and enzymatic therapies.

For SL-172154 (SIRPα-Fc-CD40L), initial monotherapy Phase 1 dose-escalation data show favorable safety and tolerability for a CD40 agonist, high levels of CD47 target occupancy and CD40 target engagement, and escalating pharmacodynamic activity in heavily pretreated, platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients. For SL-279252 (PD1-Fc-OX40L), anti-tumor activity has been observed in heavily pretreated patients, including one confirmed partial response (PR), and a second unconfirmed PR, both in patients with PD-1/L1 inhibitor pretreated non-cutaneous melanoma. Both SL-172154 and SL-279252 have been well tolerated, and a recommended Phase 2 dose has not yet been identified. These data will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper)’s 36th annual meeting being held Wednesday, November 10, 2021, to Sunday, November 14, 2021. Additional data from both programs will be presented at the meeting and on an investor call on November 12, 2021.

"We are incredibly pleased to provide our first clinical update for our ARC fusion proteins, SL-172154 and SL-279252, which are both in Phase 1 dose-escalation trials," said Lini Pandite, MBChB, M.B.A., Chief Medical Officer of Shattuck. "The preliminary anti-tumor activity in the first-in-human dose escalation of SL-279252 in a heavily pretreated, PD-L1 unselected patient population, is highly encouraging. In addition, the tolerable safety profile, near-complete target occupancy of CD47 and target engagement of CD40, and compelling pharmacodynamic effects observed give us confidence that SL-172154 has now emerged as a differentiated CD47 inhibitor. Our observations of target occupancy and safety data to date suggests that we will not be limited in continuing dose escalation to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose with maximal pharmacodynamic activity. We are also pleased to report that the Investigational New Drug application is now open to expand clinical development of SL-172154 into studies in AML and HR-MDS."

SL-172154 Clinical Update

As of the data cut-off of July 6, 2021, 14 heavily pretreated, platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients with a median of five prior therapies were treated with intravenous administration of SL-172154 across four dose levels on two schedules: Schedule 1 (day 1, 8, 15, 29, Q2 weeks) at 0.1, 0.3 mg/kg and Schedule 2 (weekly) at 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 mg/kg.

SL-172154 has been well tolerated at all dose levels, with no dose-limiting toxicities reported. Low grade infusion-related reactions occurred in 53% of subjects, however all subjects have completed dosing. A maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has not been reached and dose escalation continues to 10 mg/kg.

The serum concentration of SL-172154 has increased through 3 mg/kg, as target engagement on both CD47 and CD40 has approached nearly 100%. The terminal elimination phase has not yet been characterized, likely due to target-mediated drug disposition. Significant dose-dependent increases in IL-12, along with post-dose increases in multiple other serum cytokines, including CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, and CCL22, and concurrent with rapid margination of CD40+ B cells and monocytes from the peripheral blood have been observed. Initial analysis of pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies suggests that intravenous infusion of SL-172154 induces increases in multiple immune populations within the tumor microenvironment.

Anti-tumor activity of CD47 inhibitors is dependent upon the presence of a pro-phagocytic "eat me" signal, which can be provided by tumor-targeted antibodies with FcγR binding function, chemotherapy, or radiation. Based on our current understanding of the combined profile of SL-172154, we plan to begin a combination study with liposomal doxorubicin in patients with platinum resistant ovarian cancer in the first half of 2022. In addition, an IND is now open to study SL-172154 as monotherapy and in combination with azacitidine in HR-MDS and TP53 mutant AML patients, as well as in combination with azacitidine and venetoclax in patients with AML. The combined data from these trials will inform Shattuck’s global development strategy to progress SL-172154 to become the leading CD47- and CD40-targeted cancer immunotherapy.

SL-279252 Clinical Update

As of the data cut-off of June 11, 2021, 43 patients were enrolled and dosed intravenously with SL-279252 (median age 64 years; 56% male; median of 3 [range of 0-5] prior systemic therapies for metastatic disease). 30 patients were treated on Schedule 1 (day 1, 8, 15, 29, then every two weeks) from dose level 0.0001-6 mg/kg, and 13 patients were treated on Schedule 2 (weekly) from dose level 0.3-3 mg/kg. 58% of patients were previously treated with one or more PD-1/L1 inhibitors. Both PD-L1 and OX40 expression were low in available pre-treatment tumor biopsies. SL-279252 has been well tolerated, with no treatment-related dose-limiting toxicities reported to date. An MTD has not been reached.

Serum concentrations of SL-279252 have increased with dose, and the PK profile suggests that OX40 and PD-L1 binding approached saturating concentrations at the 6 mg/kg dose level. A preliminary half-life of ~23 hours has been observed. As a point of reference, the approved dose of PD-L1 blocking antibodies is approximately 10-15 mg/kg. Dose-dependent increases in post-treatment margination of OX40+CD4+ T cells was noted through 6 mg/kg and accompanied by a trend toward increasing numbers of CD8+ memory T cells in the peripheral blood. Post-treatment biopsies suggest that treatment with SL-279252 was associated with large increases in CD8+ cytolytic T cells in the tumors of some patients.

A confirmed PR was observed in a patient with metastatic ocular melanoma who had received five prior lines of therapy, including a PD-1 inhibitor. An unconfirmed PR was observed in a patient with mucocutaneous melanoma who had received therapy with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 inhibitors. Stable disease was observed in an additional 12 patients, including six patients who experienced stable disease for greater than 24 weeks.

Dose escalation is ongoing using Schedule 1, at 12 mg/kg.
