Circio Holding ASA Presents Circvec Circular RNA in Vivo Expression Proof-Of-Concept Data At ESGCT 2024 Annual Meeting Circio Holding ASA announced the publication of new, strong and statistically significant circVec circular RNA in vivo expression proof-of-concept data, presented both in the form of a poster and oral presentation by CTO, Dr. Thomas B Hansen, at the European Society of Cell and Gene Therapy (ESGCT) annual meeting 2024. In the ESGCT presentation, Circio showed the evolution and improvements of the circVec platform from the initial circVec 1.0 design to the current generation 2.1. Long-term in vivo experiments have now demonstrated that circVec 2.1 robustly outperforms classical mRNA-based expression over time, offering enhanced durability that reaches up to 15-fold higher reporter signals in mouse models. Additionally, a machine-learning approach to codon optimization has generated a novel circVec 2.2 design, delivering a further 2-4-fold increase in protein yield. Circio is currently testing the performance of circVec 2.1 and 2.2 in both viral and DNA vector systems in multiple tissues and disease settings in vivo. These data will guide future development and partnering strategy for the circVec platform. New Risk • Sep 30
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 128% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (1,200% average daily change). Negative equity (-kr43m). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 128% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (242% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr123k revenue, or US$12k). Market cap is less than US$10m (€1.46m market cap, or US$1.63m). New Risk • Aug 30
New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Currently running at an operating cash loss. This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (42% average weekly change). Negative equity (-kr43m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (264% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr123k revenue, or US$12k).

Circio Announces Strengthened in Vivo Data and Enhanced Circvec 2.2 Design Circio Holding ASA announced updated in vivo data. This new data demonstrates a substantial durability advantage of Circio's circVec technology over conventional mRNA expression. In addition, Circio has undertaken sequence optimization resulting in a new and enhanced circVec 2.2 design. In parallel to the in vivo characterization, Circio has tested and incorporated further features into the circVec platform. A dual-function `remove-&-replace' concept has been designed and validated in vitro for Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). This concept has the ability to both replace functional AAT protein and remove the disease variant. AATD is a genetic disease that causes severe symptoms in the lung and liver. There are currently no satisfactory therapeutic options available, and AATD represents a major unmet medical need with over 200,000 patients affected in the USA and EU. New Risk • Jun 12
New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 66% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (73% average weekly change). Negative equity (-kr96m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (66% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (kr123k revenue, or US$11k).

Circio Announces in Vivo Proof-Of-Concept for Its circVec circular RNA Platform Technology and Reinforced Gene Therapy Focus Circio Holding ASA announces that it has established technical in vivo proof-of-concept for its proprietary circVec circular RNA platform by demonstrating statistically significant improvement in durability over mRNA-based expression. The circVec technology has broad potential, particularly to enhance the potency and reduce cost of current gold-standard gene therapy, and the R&D strategy is centered on this rapidly expanding therapeutic area. In parallel to the in vivo characterization, Circio has tested and incorporated further features into the circVec platform. A dual-function 'remove-&-replace' concept has been designed and validated in vitro for Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), with the ability to both replace functional AAT protein and remove the disease variant. This genetic disease causes severe symptoms in the lung and liver, and there are currently no satisfactory therapeutic options available. AATD represents a major unmet medical need and there are over 200,000 patients affected in the USA and EU. To Circio´s knowledge, circVec 2.1 far exceeds other known intra-cellular circRNA-based expression systems, both in terms of circRNA biogenesis efficiency and protein yield. The platform still has further potential, and Circio is continuously improving the technology towards circVec 3.0 and beyond. The platform is protected by deep internal expertise and know-how, with three patents protecting the core technological features filed to date, and additional applications in progress.

Circio Holding ASA Announces Dosing of First Patient in the Collaborative Phase 2 Trial Sponsored by Georgetown University Circio Holding ASA announced that the first patient has been dosed in the collaborative phase 2 trial sponsored by Georgetown University. In this study, mutant RAS cancer vaccine TG01 is being tested in combination with daratumumab (anti-CD38, Janssen) and nivolumab (anti-PD1, BMS) in patients with RAS-mutated pancreatic cancer (PDAC) and patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mutations in the RAS-family of genes are a major cause of cancer and found in over 90% of PDAC and 30% of NSCLC cancer patients. RAS-mutated cancers typically have poor prognosis with few targeted treatment alternatives, and the medical need for novel therapeutic options remains high. To further study this unmet medical need, a phase 2 trial has been initiated to test the combination of daratumumab (Janssen), nivolumab (BMS) and TG01 in advanced PDAC and anti-PD1 resistant NSCLC. The study will enroll 54 KRAS-mutated patients in total, 27 immunotherapy-naive PDAC patients and 27 NSCLC patients who have progressed on prior anti-PD1 therapy. Anuncio • Dec 12

Targovax ASA Completes ONCOS-102 Phase 1b Study in PD-1 CPI Resistant Advanced Melanoma Has Been Published in the Oncology Journal Clinical Cancer Research Targovax ASA announced that the completed ONCOS-102 phase 1b study in PD-1 CPI resistant advanced melanoma has been published in the oncology journal Clinical Cancer Research, published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). PD-1 CPI resistant advanced melanoma is a major unmet medical need affecting up to 25,000 patients per year in the major markets. The diagnosis is associated with a poor prognosis and there are currently no approved treatment options available. In this phase 1b trial, ONCOS-102 was given intra-tumorally to 21 PD-1 CPI resistant melanoma patients, followed by re-treatment with the PD-1 CPI Keytruda. It is anticipated that local injection of ONCOS-102 will induce an inflammatory immune response in the tumor microenvironment and drive systemic T -cell activation, which in turn can re-sensitize the patient to PD-1 CPI therapy. As expected, ONCOS-102 generated strong and durable immune activation in the treated patients, which translated into a promising objective response rate (ORR) of 35%. Importantly, the clinical efficacy was associated with continuous replication of ONCOS-102 within the tumor, statistically significant increase in T-cell infiltration, and broad and persistent upregulation of immunological pathways in responding patients.Titel: Pilot Study of ONCOS-102 and Pembrolizumab: Remodeling of the Tumor Microenvironment and Clinical Outcomes in Anti-PD-1-Resistant Advanced Melanoma.

Targovax ASA Receives Approval to Proceed with the Oncos-102 Phase 2 Melanoma Study from the US FDA Targovax ASA announces that the FDA has accepted the protocol and given the formal go -ahead to proceed with the planned ONCOS-102 phase 2 trial in melanoma. Study initiation activities are proceeding according to the communicated timeline, with the aim to start enrolling patients in late 2022 or early 2023. PD-1 CPI refractory advanced melanoma is a major unmet medical need affecting up to 25,000 patients per year globally in the major markets. The diagnosis has poor prognosis and there are currently no approved treatment options available. In a recently reported phase 1 trial, ONCOS-102 demonstrated a highly competitive response rate (ORR) of 35% in this patient population in combination with a PD-1 CPI. Importantly, the strong ORR outcome was corroborated by biomarker data showing significant increase in T-cell infiltration and broad and persistent activation of immune-related gene signatures in responding patients. Based on these promising early clinical results, Targovax is planning to conduct a larger, phase 2 multi-cohort study to further explore and validate the benefit of ONCOS-102 in PD-1 CPI refractory melanoma. This phase 2 study will be run in collaboration with Targovax's partner Agenus, who will provide their Fc-enhanced CTLA-4 (botensilimab) and PD-1 (balstilimab) CPIs for combination with ONCOS-102. In the first part of the study, two groups will evaluate the safety and efficacy of (1) a higher dose of ONCOS-102 to be tested as a monotherapy and (2) the low and new higher dose of ONCOS-102 in combination with the PD-1 CPI balstilimab. Following confirmation of the safety of the increased ONCOS-102 dose, the study will proceed into its second part adding two more groups. In group (3) ONCOS-102 will for the first time be combined with a CTLA-4 CPI (botensilimab) and, ultimately, in (4) the triple combination of ONCOS-102, balstilimab and botensilimab will be tested.

Targovax ASA Announces that the FDA Grant Authorization to Initiate Clinical Trials with the Enhanced TG01 RAS Vaccine in the USA Targovax ASA announced that the US FDA has approved an IND application for TG01 combined with QS-21 STIMULON, which allows the preparations to initiate clinical trials in the USA to proceed. In May, an IND application for the enhanced TG01 mutant RAS cancer vaccine, with QS-21 STIMULON as adjuvant, was filed with the US FDA. The FDA has now approved this IND application, which means that the new and improved TG01 version has been authorized to proceed with clinical studies in the USA. Targovax has previously demonstrated promising clinical data for an earlier version of TG01 in KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer. For technical and commercial reasons, Targovax has made significant improvements in TG01 to strengthen immune activation and simplify handling at the hospital and improve patient convenience. In this new format, TG01 will be co-administered with the FDA approved adjuvant QS-21 STIMULON, provided by collaboration partner Agenus. QS-21 STIMULON is expected to enhance TG01 efficacy by driving stronger and broader mutant RAS immune responses. TG01 and QS-21 STIMULON will be mixed and dosed as a single injection, rather than two separate injections as in prior trials. Moreover, the injection will be given sub-cutaneously instead of intra-dermally. These modifications will make the administration of TG01 more patient friendly and simpler to manage for healthcare personnel. Board Change • Apr 29

Targovax ASA Announces ONCOS-102 Achieves 25.0 Months Median Overall Survival in First Line Mesothelioma Targovax ASA announced mOS of 25.0 months for treatment with ONCOS-102 in combination with Standard of Care (SoC) chemotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) in the subgroup of patients receiving therapy in the first-line setting. The study is an open-label, exploratory phase 1/2 trial adding ONCOS-102 to SoC chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin) in first and later line MPM to assess safety, immune activation and clinical efficacy compared with SoC alone. A total of 31 patients were enrolled in the trial, with 20 patients in the treatment group receiving ONCOS-102 plus SoC chemotherapy, and 11 patients in the control group receiving SoC only. The 30-month follow-up has now been completed. At the 30-month follow-up, mOS was 25.0 months for the subgroup of randomized, first-line ONCOS-102-treated patients (n=8). This is a clear improvement over the mOS of 13.5 months observed in the first-line SoC-only control group (n=6). Previous phase 3 clinical trials in MPM have reported mOS in the range of 12-16 months for patients receiving the same SoC chemotherapy treatment in the first-line setting1. The combination of Opdivo/Yervoy double checkpoint inhibition was recently approved as a first-line treatment option for MPM based on a phase 3 trial showing 18.1 months mOS. Objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and mOS have been previously reported, and remain unchanged. The 30-month follow-up analysis completes the mOS data set for all subgroups in the trial. Immune activation was assessed in tumor biopsies pre- and post-ONCOS-102 treatment (Day 0 and Day 36). The tumor tissue analyses revealed powerful and consistent ONCOS-102-induced remodeling of the tumor microenvironment with increased T-cell infiltration and a shift towards pro-inflammatory immune cells, far beyond what was observed for the SoC-only control group. This immune activation is associated with tumor responses and is most pronounced in patients with better survival outcomes, indicating that the immune activating capacity of ONCOS-102 is driving the clinical benefit for patients.

The study is an open-label, exploratory phase 1/2 trial adding ONCOS-102 to SoC chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin) in first- and second- (or later) line MPM to assess safety, immune activation and clinical efficacy compared with SoC alone. A total of 31 patients were enrolled in the trial, with 20 patients in the treatment group receiving ONCOS-102 plus SoC chemotherapy, and 11 patients in the control group receiving SoC only. The trial has now completed the 24-month follow-up. At the 24-month follow-up, it was determined that the final mOS will be in the range of 21.9 to 25.0 months for first-line ONCOS-102-treated patients in the randomized group (n=8). This is a clear improvement over the MoS of 13.5 months observed in the first-line SoC-only control group (n=6). Previous MPM clinical trials have reported mOS in the range of 12–16 months for patients receiving the same SoC chemotherapy treatment. Immune activation was assessed in tumor biopsies pre- and post-ONCOS-102 treatment (Day 36). The tumor tissue analyses revealed broad and powerful ONCOS-102-induced remodeling of the tumor microenvironment with increased T-cell infiltration and a shift towards pro-inflammatory immune cells, far beyond what was observed for the SoC-only control group. Notably, this activity was associated with both tumor responses and survival outcomes, indicating that the immune activation generated by ONCOS-102 is driving the clinical benefit for patients. Recently, the double checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) combination of Opdivo and Yervoy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (October 2020) and the European Medicines Agency (April 2021) for the first-line treatment of MPM, based on a phase 3 trial showing mOS of 18.1 months compared with 14.1 months in the SoC control group (pemetrexed/cisplatin). The Opdivo/Yervoy combination is seeing rapid uptake among clinicians in both the USA and Europe and is becoming the new preferred first-line Standard of Care. Given the class-leading activity ONCOS-102 has demonstrated in CPI-refractory melanoma, Targovax believes there is a strong scientific rationale for testing ONCOS-102 in the CPI-refractory setting also in MPM. This opportunity is now being discussed with key opinion leaders. Anuncio • Mar 18

Targovax Granted US Patent for Oncos-102 in Combination with Checkpoint Inhibitors Targovax ASA announced that the US Patent Office has granted US Patent no 10,940,203. The patent covers the use of ONCOS-102 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. In December 2020 Targovax announced that the combination of ONCOS-102 and checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab (Keytruda) demonstrated 35% best objective response rate (ORR) in anti-PD1 refractory malignant melanoma patients. Systemic effects were also observed in multiple patients, including two examples where a non-injected lesion completely regressed. In this open label phase 1 trial the combination of ONCOS-102 and the anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab has been tested in patients with advanced, unresectable melanoma who have had disease progression despite treatment with anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitor. This is a particularly challenging patient population, which is refractory to approved immunotherapies and has few treatment alternatives available. Targovax's lead product candidate, ONCOS-102, is a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus, which has been engineered to selectively infect cancer cells and activate the immune system. On the back of very encouraging data in several indications, in monotherapy and in multiple combination, the planned development steps for ONCOS-102 is a registrational-directed trial in checkpoint inhibitor refractory melanoma.

Continued Survival Benefit in Targovax's ONCOS-102 Trial in Mesothelioma At the 21-Month Follow-Up Targovax ASA announced 21-month follow-up data from the randomized phase I/II trial of ONCOS-102 in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The trial is an open label, exploratory phase I/II trial adding ONCOS-102 to standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin) in first and second (and later) line MPM to assess safety, immune activation and clinical efficacy vs SoC only. In total, 31 patients have been treated in the trial, with 20 patients in the experimental group receiving the ONCOS-102 and chemotherapy combination, and 11 patients in a control group receiving chemotherapy only. The 31 patients have now completed the 21-month follow-up. Immunological data and 12-month survival rate were reported in June 2020. and 18-month survival follow-up in November 2020. At the 21-month follow-up, half of the patients in the first-line ONCOS-102-treated group of the randomized part of the trial were still alive, and mOS was not yet reached. Based on current survival data mOS will be 20.5 months or longer. For the first-line SoC-only control group mOS is 13.5 months, which is similar to outcomes from previously reported trials where patients received the same chemotherapy treatment.

Targovax ASA Receives Fast-Track Designation for ONCOS-102 Targovax ASA announced that its lead clinical candidate ONCOS-102 has received Fast-Track designation in malignant pleural mesothelioma from the US FDA. The US FDA granted Fast-Track designation to ONCOS-102 based on encouraging pre-clinical and clinical efficacy associated with broad immune activation observed to date. Receiving this designation is an endorsement by the US FDA of the strength of the ONCOS-102 data package. The FDA Fast Track-designation is awarded to therapies with potential to address unmet medical needs in serious medical conditions and allows for more frequent interactions with the FDA to expedite clinical development, as well as the regulatory review processes. Fast-Track products have improved likelihood of receiving Priority Review for a future Biologics License Application (BLA) and may be allowed to submit parts of the application early to shorten review time. The Fast-Track approval comes in addition to ONCOS-102´s existing Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) with both the US FDA and European EMA in the mesothelioma indication, which provides ONCOS-102 market exclusivity for 7 and 10 years in the USA and EU, respectively, from the date of BLA grant.

Targovax ASA Demonstrates Encouraging Survival Data for Oncos-102 in Mesothelioma Targovax ASA releases 18-month follow-up data from the randomized phase I/II trial of ONCOS-102 in combination with standard-of-care (SoC) chemotherapy in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The study is an open-label, exploratory phase I/II trial adding ONCOS-102 to SoC chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin) in first- and second- (and later) line treatment of MPM to assess safety, immune activation and efficacy versus SoC only. In total, 31 patients have been included in the trial, with 20 patients in the experimental group receiving the ONCOS-102 and SoC combination (8 randomized in first-line), and 11 patients in the control group receiving SoC only (6 in first-line). At the 18-month follow-up, more than half of the patients in the first-line ONCOS-102-treated group were still alive, and the mOS was not yet reached. Based on current survival data the mOS will be 18.2 months or longer. For the first -line SoC-only control group, less than half of the patients were alive, and mOS will be 14.2 months or less, which is similar to outcomes from previously reported trials where patients received the same chemotherapy treatment. An analysis of all the first-line patients, including 3 experimental safety lead-in patients, shows similar results as the randomized first-line patients. The next survival analysis is planned in first half of 2021. In June, it was reported that ONCOS-102 treatment induces broad and powerful immune activation in MPM, far beyond what is achieved with SoC alone. Importantly, this immune activation is associated with better survival outcomes at the 18-month analysis, indicating that the immunological activity of ONCOS -102 drives the observed clinical benefit.

Targovax ASA Announces ONCOS-102 and Durvalumab Trial Successfully Completes Part 1 in Colorectal Cancer Targovax ASA announced that the colorectal cancer cohort in part 1 of the ONCOS-102 and durvalumab trial in colorectal and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer that has spread to the peritoneum has met the pre-defined efficacy threshold of patients without progression at the end of week 24. The second part of the colorectal expansion cohort is now open for recruitment. The study is an open label, exploratory phase I/II trial assessing the combination of intra-peritoneally delivered ONCOS-102 in combination with systemically administered durvalumab, an anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, in patients with colorectal (CRC) or platinum-resistant ovarian (OC) cancers that have metastasized to the peritoneal cavity. The trial is designed with a dose-escalation phase assessing three different dosing levels, followed by an expansion phase split into separate CRC and OC cohorts. The expansion phase is divided into two parts, where the second part is opened only if a pre-defined efficacy threshold is met in the first part. The efficacy threshold in the CRC cohort is 1 out of 13 patients and 5 out of 18 patients in the OC cohort without progression at week 24. Ludwig Cancer Research, the trial sponsor, and the investigators have reviewed the available data in part 1 of the expansion phase and concluded that the threshold has been met in the CRC cohort. The second part of the CRC cohort has therefore been opened for recruitment with the aim of enrolling 14 additional patients. For OC, threshold was not met, and this cohort has been closed for further recruitment. Dr. Dmitriy Zamarin, Medical Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), Investigator at the Ludwig Center at MSK and Principal Investigator of the study, said: Chemotherapy-resistant microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer is a challenging disease to treat, with a response rate to immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy of less than 5%. They are hopeful that the immune activation by ONCOS-102 in peritoneal cavity may sensitize these tumors to immune checkpoint inhibition and improve this response rate.
