Alligator Bioscience AB (publ) Announces Positive Outcomes from adjusted Indirect Treatment Comparations Studies Alligator Bioscience AB (publ) announced positive outcomes from adjusted indirect treatment comparison studies, demonstrating that mitazalimab + mFOLFIRINOX shows significantly better Overall Survival (OS) compared to FOLFIRINOX-based and NALIRIFOX treatment regimens for the frontline treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma cancer (mPDAC). As the OPTIMIZE-1 trial for mitazalimab did not include a control group, these indirect treatment comparisons are a means to establish the relative efficacy of mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX compared to existing treatment regimens. A robust comparison was achieved using published literature from randomized Phase 2/3 studies in frontline mPDAC with mitazalimab +mFOLFIRINOX (18-month follow-up analysis), FOLFIRINOX, mFOLFIRINOX and NALIRIFOX regimens, after applying the ITC methodologies. The results demonstrated a significantly better Overall Survival (OS) potential for mitazalimab in collaboration with expert pancreatic cancer clinicians and results were presented on January 24 at the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California by Professor Eileen O'Reilly in a presentation titled Evaluating the relative treatment efficacy of CD40 agonist mitazalimab in combined with mFOLFIRINO X in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) using unanchored indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs). The encouraging survival benefits demonstrated through this analysis contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting mitazalimab's potential in treating metastatic pancreatic cancer. These findings provide further momentum as Alligator works toward refining standards of care and improving outcomes for patients facing this devastating disease. These methods, commonly referred to as indirect treatment comparison (ITC), are standard in the context of health outcomes research, and pricing & reimbursement considerations. Anuncio • Jan 16

Alligator Bioscience and Aptevo Therapeutics Announce Data from Phase 1 ALG.APV-527 Monotherapy Trial Showing 60% of Evaluable Patients Achieved Stable Disease in Solid Tumor Study Alligator Bioscience and Aptevo Therapeutics announced positive interim data from the dose escalation phase of their Phase 1 trial evaluating ALG.APV-527 for the treatment of solid tumors likely to express the tumor antigen 5T4. The results, which include clinical activity, safety, tolerability outcomes, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were presented in a poster session on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress in Barcelona, Spain. ALG.APV-527 is a first-in-class bispecific antibody that targets 4-1BB and the tumor antigen 5T4. The compound is being evaluated in a multi-center, dose escalation trial that has 18 patients included in the safety analysis. These patients received multiple prior rounds of therapy for the treatment of solid tumor types. The trial is approaching full enrollment and interim results include: Nine of 15 efficacy evaluable patients (60%) have a best overall response to date of stable disease (SD). The longest SD duration was in a breast cancer patient who entered the study with progressive disease, achieved stable disease and remained on study for >11 months. This patient successfully transitioned to a higher dose level twice. One colon cancer patient with sustained SD remains on study for more than four months. ALG.APV-527 demonstrated positive safety and tolerability across all cohorts. A maximum tolerated dose has not been identified. ALG.APV-527 could be measured in all patients with serum concentration of ALG.APV-527 consistent with the administered dose and preclinical predictions. Biomarker analyses confirm biological activity of ALG.APV-527. The ALG.APV-527 Phase 1 trial is a multi-center, multi-cohort, open-label dose-escalation trial that includes administration of ALG.APV-527 in up to six escalating dose levels in a 3+3 design. The trial is enrolling adult patients with multiple solid tumor types/histologies likely to express the 5T4 antigen. ALG.APV-527 will be given intravenously once every two weeks. The trial is assessing the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ALG.APV-527. The 3+3 design proceeds in cohorts of three patients treated at increasing dose levels. Dose escalation stops when at least two out of three or six patients experience dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) at that dose level. ALG.APV-527 is a bispecific conditional 4-1BB agonist, only active upon simultaneous binding to 4-1BB and 5T4. This has the potential to be clinically important because 4-1BB can stimulate the immune cells (antitumor-specific T cells and NK cells) involved in tumor control, making 4-1BB a particularly compelling target for cancer immunotherapy. 5T4 is an oncofetal tumor associated antigen overexpressed on numerous solid tumors including non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), breast, head and neck, cervical, renal, gastric, and colorectal cancer. Preclinical studies, highlighting the differentiated design of the molecule that minimizes systemic immune activation, allowing for highly efficacious tumor-specific responses as demonstrated by potent activity in preclinical models, has been published in the peer-reviewed publication, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).

Alligator Bioscience Announces Results from the Ongoing Optimize-1 Trial Alligator Bioscience announces positive 18-month follow-up data from the OPTIMIZE-1 Phase 2 study of the company's lead asset mitazalimab in 1st line metastatic pancreatic cancer. The open-label, multi-center study assessed the safety and efficacy of mitazalimab (CD40 mAb agonist) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy mFOLFIRINOX, in previously untreated, chemotherapy naïve pancreatic cancer patients. The data demonstrated a near doubling of the 18-month survival rate to 36.2% in patients treated with mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX, compared to 18.6% reported with FOLFIRINOX alone. The updated Median Overall Survival (mOS) was 14.9 months, up from 14.3 months at the time of first analysis, comparing favorably to the 11.1 months demonstrated by FOLFIRINOX and more recently by NALIRIFOX. Median follow-up duration for the updated analysis was 18.2 months, indicating the maturity of these outcomes. At the time of the analysis, a total of 17 (30%) patients were still alive, and of these 9 (16% overall) were still on treatment. The longest ongoing treatment duration was 24 months. The follow-up data further demonstrate: An additional late responding patient increased the confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR; as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors RECIST 1.1) to 42.1% from the 40.4% reported in the top-line readout, comparing favorably to the ORR of 31.6% reported in a similar patient population treated with FOLFIRINOX alone and an ORR of 42% reported by NALIRIFOX. An increase in the unconfirmed ORR to 54.4% was reported in 57 evaluable patients. The median Duration of Response (DoR) was 12.6 months, an unprecedented outcome in this aggressive disease and much longer compared to 5.9 months with FOLFIRINOX and 7.3 months with NALIRIFOX. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) was 7.7 months, and a nearly 3-fold increase in the 12-month PFS rate was reported; 35.1% in OPTIMIZE-1 against 12.1% previously reported for FOLFIRINOX.

Alligator Bioscience AB (publ) to Present Positive Phase 2 Data on Mitazalimab in Pancreatic Cancer at ESMO GI 2024 Alligator Bioscience AB (publ) announced it will present positive Phase 2 data on its lead drug candidate mitazalimab in first line metastatic pancreatic cancer at the European Society for Medical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Congress 2024 (ESMO GI 2024), taking place in Munich, Germany from June 26-29. The oral presentation outlines OPTIMIZE-1, an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1b/2 study, assessing the safety and efficacy of mitazalimab (CD40 mAb agonist) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy mFOLFIRINOX. The trial study met its primary endpoint, with mitazalimab showing a manageable safety profile and promising DoR associated with a clinically meaningful survival benefit. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between treatment-induced increases in natural killer T (NKT) cells and T cells expressing CD38 and depth of response, strongly suggestive of a mitazalimab-dependent contribution to deep anti-tumor responses. The 5-year overall survival rate for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) is less than 5%, and current systemic therapies are associated with poor outcomes. The OPTIMIZE-1 data have also recently been published in the peer-reviewed The Lancet Oncologyand presented in two posters at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Alligator expects to report 18-month survival follow-up data from OPTIMIZE-1 at the end of June 2024, and that these will provide further insights into the potential of mitazalimab. Results from the OPTIMIZE-1 trial showed mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX had a confirmed ORR of 40.4% in 57 evaluable patients (unconfirmed ORR was 50.9%). Median DoR was 12.5 months and the median OS was 14.3 months. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) was 7.7 months. These data compare favorably to the historically reported outcomes with FOLFIRINOX (ORR 31.6%, mDoR 5.9 months, mOS 11.1 months and mPFS 6.4 months). The recently approved new treatment regimen of NALIRIFOX was associated with an ORR of 42%, mDoR of 7.3 months, mPFS 7.4 months and a mOS of 11.1 months. Anuncio • May 24
Alligator Bioscience to Present Positive Phase 2 Mitazalimab Data in Pancreatic Cancer at 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting Alligator Bioscience AB (publ) announced that two clinical abstracts on its lead drug candidate mitazalimab, a best- in-class CD40 agonist, in first line metastatic pancreatic cancer will be presented (abstracts 2569 and 4133) in a poster presentation session at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, taking place in Chicago, IL and online during May 31-June 4. Data presented at ASCO from the OPTIMIZE-1 study, of mitazalimab in combination with mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy, showed that pharmacological analyses identified mitazalimab-induced expansion of CD4 effector T cells one week after first administration as a correlate of treatment outcomes. These data suggest the contribution of mitazalimab to tumor responses, and further supports the unique trial design of OPTIMIZE-1. OPTIMIZE-1 achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating a confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) of 40.4%, an unconfirmed ORR of 50.9% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 79% in 57 evaluable patients, as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). This compares favorably to the ORR of 31.6% reported in a similar patient population treated with FOLFIRINOX alone. Median Duration of Response (DoR) was 12.5 months, remarkably longer than reported so far with any other approved and investigational therapies. Median Overall Survival (OS) was 14.3 months and the survival estimate from the next planned analysis may further improve. The open-label, multi-center OPTIMIZE-1 study assessed the safety and efficacy of mitazalimab (CD40 mAb agonist) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy mFOLFIRINOX, in previously untreated, chemotherapy naïve patients.

Of particular interest, signs of clinical activity were observed for both enrolled patients with heavily pre-treated breast cancer. These patients demonstrated measurable level of drug in circulation (pharmacokinetic) and reproducible elevation of serum pharmacodynamic markers with dosing, suggesting the drug is biologically active. One patient remained on study for seven months and a second remains on study beyond nine months. Both patients achieved best overall response of stable disease. The ALG.APV-527 Phase 1 trial is a multi-center, multi-cohort, open-label trial that will include six cohorts (dose levels) in a 3+3 design. The trial will be conducted at up to 10 sites in the U.S. among adult patients with multiple solid tumor types/histologies likely to express the 5T4 antigen. ALG.APV-527 will be given intravenously once every two weeks. The trial will assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ALG.APV-527. ALG.APV-527 is a bispecific conditional 4-1BB agonist, only active upon simultaneous binding to 4-1BB and 5T4. This has the potential to be clinically important because 4-1BB can stimulate the immune cells (antitumor-specific T cells and NK cells) involved in tumor control, making 4-1BB a particularly compelling target for cancer immunotherapy. 5T4 is an oncofetal tumor associated antigen overexpressed on numerous solid tumors including non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), breast, head and neck, cervical, renal, gastric, and colorectal cancer.

Alligator Bioscience Announces Positive Top-Line Results from the Optimize-1 Phase 2 Study of the Company's Lead Asset Mitazalimab in 1st Line Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Alligator Bioscience announced positive top-line results from the OPTIMIZE-1 Phase 2 study of the company’s lead asset mitazalimab in 1st line metastatic pancreatic cancer. The open-label, multi-center study assessed the safety and efficacy of mitazalimab (CD40 mAb agonist) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy mFOLFIRINOX, in previously untreated, chemotherapy naive patients. The study achieved its primary endpoint with the top-line results demonstrating a confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) of 40.4%, an unconfirmed ORR of 50.9% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 79% in 57 evaluable patients, as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). This compares favorably to the ORR of 31.6% reported in a similar patient population treated with FOLFIRINOX alone. The cut-off time for analysis was November 14, 2023 with a median follow-up duration of 12.7 months. At the time of the analysis, a total of 29 (51%) patients were still alive, of these 18 (32%) were still on treatment. The longest ongoing treatment duration was 23 months. Three patients demonstrated complete remission of their target lesions. The study further demonstrated: Median Overall Survival (mOS) of 14.3 months at the time of analysis and expected to improve as majority of the patients remain alive, comparing favorably to the 11.1 months demonstrated by FOLFIRINOX[1], and more recently by NALIRIFOX in the NAPOLI 3 Phase 3 trial. An unprecedented median Duration of Response (DoR) of 12.5 months, compared to 5.9 months with FOLFIRINOX[1], and the 7.3 months demonstrated by NALIRIFOX The 12-month survival rate was 59.3% compared to 48.1% for FOLFIRINOX and 45.6% for NALIRIFOX Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) of 7.7 months, compared to 6.4 months with FOLFIRINOX[1], and the 7.4 months demonstrated by NALIRIFOX. Mitazalimab's manageable safety and tolerability profile supporting long-term administration in combination with mFOLFIRINOX was confirmed. As the majority of patients remain alive at the time of analysis, Overall Survival and Durability of Response are expected to improve further with ongoing treatment and follow-up. Alligator Bioscience has undertaken discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has been able to establish a clear development and approval pathway for mitazalimab in pancreatic cancer. Based on the emerging data from the OPTIMIZE-1 study, FDA has provided additional guidance and has endorsed OPTIMIZE-1 as a Phase 3 enabling study. Consequently, mitazalimab can proceed directly to a global Phase 3 registration study, which Alligator is preparing to initiate in early 2025. Breakeven Date Change • Nov 22

Alligator Bioscience and Aptevo Therapeutics Announce that FDA has Issued a "May Proceed" Notification for the ALG.APV-527 IND Alligator Bioscience AB and Aptevo Therapeutics announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a "may proceed" notification for the ALG.APV-527 investigational new drug application (IND), allowing the companies to initiate clinical trials evaluating the compound for the treatment of 5T4-expressing tumor antigens in multiple solid tumor types. The companies are moving rapidly to initiate a multi-center Phase 1 trial in the US. ALG.APV-527 is an antibody with dual function: tumor-binding and 4-1BB immunomodulatory agonist effects. This has the potential to be clinically important because 4-1BB has the ability to stimulate the immune cells (antitumor-specific T cells) involved in tumor control, making immune cell stimulation through 4-1BB a particularly compelling target for cancer immunotherapy. Preclinical results, presented at the Society of Immunotherapy Cancer's 2021 Annual Meeting, highlighted the differentiated design of the molecule that minimizes systemic immune activation, allowing for highly efficacious tumor-specific responses as demonstrated by potent activity in vitro models. The tumor-binding function of ALG.APV-527 targets the 5T4 tumor-associated antigen. 5T4 is a protein expression in multiple solid tumor types and limited expression in normal tissues, making 5T4 a compelling target molecule for cancer therapy.

The poster, entitled "Initial findings from a first-in-human, multicenter, open-label study of ATOR-1017, a 4-1BB antibody, in patients with advanced solid malignancies", outlines results from Alligator's first-in-human clinical trial with ATOR-1017, which is being developed as a tumor-directed therapy for advanced/metastatic solid cancers. The results, to be presented at ASCO, demonstrate an excellent safety profile. Five (22.7%) of the 22 patients treated with ATOR-1017 experienced grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). None of the TRAEs resulted in treatment discontinuation. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed, and thus the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ATOR-1017 has not been reached. ATOR-1017 exhibits a dose dependent and favorable pharmacokinetic profile. Activation of peripheral T cells and increased levels of soluble 4-1BB was observed across active dose levels of ATOR-1017, demonstrating biological activity and proof of mechanism. Stable disease was achieved as best objective response in 10 (45%) of patients, with the longest treatment duration being 16 months. Overall, the data showed that ATOR-1017 is safe and well-tolerated at doses up to 600 mg and has shown signs of clinical benefit. Dose escalation continues at the 900 mg dose and data from this cohort is expected to be reported in 2022. Anuncio • May 10

Alligator Bioscience AB and Scandion Oncology A/S Present Promising Preclinical Data Alligator Bioscience and Scandion Oncology announces promising preclinical data from their ongoing collaboration exploring the anti-tumor effects on drug resistant cancer by combining Scandion Oncology's drug candidate SCO-101 and Alligator Bioscience's candidate drug mitazalimab. The collaboration explores the anti-tumor efficacy of the CD40 antibody mitazalimab in combination with SCO-101 as an addition to chemotherapy (FOLFIRINOX) in chemotherapy-resistant preclinical tumor models. The hypothesis is that SCO-101 will revert chemotherapy resistance and thereby facilitate a strengthening of the anti-tumor effects of mitazalimab. The combination of mitazalimab and FOLFIRINOX demonstrates a strong anti-tumor response in FOLFIRINOX resistant cancer cells. Importantly, the current data indicate that the anti-tumor effect of SCO-101, mitazalimab and FOLFIRINOX is even more potent than mitazalimab and FOLFIRINOX. The studies are still ongoing and further monitored for anti-tumor effects and survival. The data further validate the potential of mitazalimab in combination with standard of care chemotherapy such as FOLFIRINOX The data support the basic concept that SCO-101 in combination with chemotherapy and immuno-oncology is well tolerated and has a very potent anti-tumor effect in vivo on drug resistant cancer cells.

Alligator Bioscience Presents Positive Phase I Data At ASCO for Its 4-1BB Agonist Drug Candidate ATOR-1017 Alligator Bioscience presents novel supportive data from the ongoing Phase I clinical trial with the 4-1BB (CD137) drug candidate ATOR-1017 developed as tumor-directed therapy for metastatic cancer. The results, presented in a poster presentation at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting, validate the therapeutic potential of ATOR-1017 demonstrating a very favorable safety profile combined with clear signs of proof of mechanism, as activation of T cells in the circulation was observed across active dose levels of ATOR-1017. The Phase I study with ATOR-1017 is a dose escalation study in patients with advanced solid cancer (NCT04144842). The primary endpoint of the study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of ATOR-1017 and to determine the recommended dose for subsequent Phase II studies. The first patient was dosed in December 2019. As of data cut-off March 31, 2021, a total of 13 patients with varying advanced solid malignancies had been included. 4 patients (31%) remained on treatment, 3 (23%) of whom had confirmed stable disease for a period of 3.5-12.5 months. The results from the evaluation of doses up to and including 200 mg demonstrate that ATOR-1017 has an encouraging safety profile as the drug related adverse events in the study have generally been mild and transient. No dose-limiting toxicity or severe immune-related adverse events have been reported. The results further demonstrate that ATOR-1017 exhibits a favorable pharmacokinetic profile with linear elimination and no accumulation. Activation of T cells in the circulation was observed across therapeutic dose levels of ATOR-1017 demonstrating biological activity and proof of mechanism. Recent Insider Transactions • May 01
