Bioinvent Reports Promising Data from Ongoing Phase 2A Study for Bi-1808 with Keytruda®(Pembrolizumab) in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer BioInvent International AB announced encouraging interim results from its ongoing Phase 2a signal-seeking study evaluating BI-1808, a novel immuno-oncology candidate, in combination with MSD's (Merck & Co. Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who have progressed following platinum-based therapy. The interim data from the signal-seeking cohort of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer demonstrates an overall response rate (ORR) of 24%, which represents a meaningful improvement over pembrolizumab monotherapy. Some responses have been observed after several months of treatment, suggesting that additional responses with potentially important impact on PFS (Progression Free Survival) may be observed. The combination was generally safe and well-tolerated, and all adverse events were manageable with standard medical treatments. Exploratory analyses indicate strong activity in both high-grade serous and clear cell ovarian cancer subtypes. The Phase 2a expansion will enroll an additional 20 patients focusing on these subtypes to validate and quantify the signal with an expected readout in H2 2026. Clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement. KEYTRUDA® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co. Inc., Rahway, NJ., USA, to evaluate the combination of BI-1808 and MSD's anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA (pembrolizum AB). This Phase 2a trial (NCT04752826) is designed to assess BI-1808 administered as a single agent (Part A) and in combination with pembrolizumab (Part B) at the respective recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) determined in Phase 1. Phase 2a expansion is being conducted in indication specific cohorts of subjects. The aim of the Phase 2a is to further assess the safety and tolerability of BI-1808 as a single agent (PartA) and in combination with p Embrolizumab (PartB), characterize its PK and pharmacodynamics, and assess preliminary antitumor activity by ORR, DoR (duration of response), and progression-free survival (PFS), as measured by RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST. BI-1808 is a ligand-blocking FcgR-engaging antibody that depletes immunosuppressive Treg cells and reprograms myeloid cells. BI-1910 is a pure agonist antibody that directly co-stimulates T and NK cells through partially FcgR-independent mechanisms. Announcement • Jun 05

Bioinvent and Transgene’S Oncolytic Virus BT-001 Shows Promising Antitumor Activity in Ongoing Phase 1/2A Trial in Solid Tumors That Failed Previous Treatments BioInvent International AB and Transgene announced new initial data from their ongoing Phase 2/2a study on the multifunctional oncolytic virus BT-001, demonstrating antitumor activity in patients with refractory solid tumors. The data presented at the2024European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting, showed that BT-001 induced tumor regression in patients unresponsive to prior anti PD(L)-1 treatment, both as a monotherapy and in combination with MSD's (Merck & Co. Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab).
Preliminary translational data suggest that BT-001 replicates in the tumor where the payloads are expressed with undetectable systemic exposure. BT-001 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab was well tolerated and showed first signs of efficacy with clinical responses in 2 of 6 refractory patients when given in combination with pembrolizumab. BT-001 treatment turned "cold" tumors to "hot" inducing T cell infiltration, a higher M1/M2 ratio, and a shift toPD(L)-1 positivity in the tumor microenvironment. Announcement • Sep 12

BioInvent Presents Positive Data at SITC from Clinical Phase 1/2a Trial of BI-1808 as Single Agent BioInvent International AB presents the latest data from a Phase 1/2a trial of its first-in-class anti-tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2) antibody BI-1808 as a single agent, at the Society of Immunotherapy for Cancer (SITC) 38th Annual Meeting in San Diego, California. The poster presentation, entitled "Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial of BI-1808, a Monoclonal Antibody to Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) as Single Agent and in Combination with Pembrolizumab" include data from the BI-1808 monotherapy arm of the Phase 1 study and display encouraging results in the form of early efficacy signals. Furthermore, BI-1808 exhibited a favorable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicity observed in the monotherapy arm and no maximum tolerated dose could be found. BI-1808 was well tolerated across all dose levels studied. The data strengthens the outlook for the ongoing Phase 2 part of the clinical trial and positions BI-1808 as the best-in-class. BI-1808 administered as single agent induced a robust partial response (PR) in a patient with a gastrointestinal tumor (GIST) who had received 12 previous lines of treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have previously shown very limited activity in this tumor type. The patient is still receiving BI-1808 treatment, and the most recent scan showed a tumor burden reduced to 48% compared to baseline, with 2/4 target lesions no longer detectable. There are a further 7 cases of stable disease out of 21 evaluable patients and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data has enabled identification of a wide dose range where complete target coverage can be achieved with a remarkable safety profile. The title and number of the SITC poster presentation is as follows: Title: Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial of BI-1808, a Monoclonal Antibody to Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) as Single Agent and in Combination with Pembrolizumab Number: 757. BI-1808 and the second anti-TNFR2 antibody BI-1910, are part of BioInvent's tumor-associated regulatory T cells (Treg)-targeting program. TNFR2 is particularly upregulated on Tregs of the tumor microenvironment and has been shown to be determinant for tumor growth and survival, representing a new and promising target for cancer immunotherapy. The dose-escalation, multicenter, first-in-human, consecutive-cohort, open-label trial of BI-1808 is investigating it as a single agent and in combination with MSD's (Merck & Co. Inc., Rahway, NJ., USA) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in subjects with advanced malignancies, whose disease has progressed after standard therapy. It consists of Phase 1 Parts A and B (dose escalation as single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab, respectively), and Phase 2a Parts A and B (dose expansion cohorts with treatment as single agent and in combination, respectively). The efficacy of BI-1808 as single agent is currently further explored in an ongoing Phase 2a trial in a larger sample of patients. In addition to the originally planned expansion cohorts in lung cancer, ovarian cancer and cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), BioInvent plans to enlarge the scope of the signal seeking cohorts to include new cohorts in melanoma and other forms of T cell lymphomas. This is driven by the exciting data observed so far. Phase 1 data on the combination of BI-1808 with pembrolizumab is due in H1 2024. Announcement • Nov 01

BioInvent International AB Announces Abstract Presentation of BI-1206 At the 17th International Conference of Malignant Lymphoma 2023 BioInvent International AB announced that an abstract reporting the clinical profile of its lead drug candidate BI-1206, the novel anti-FcgRIIB antibody, has been accepted at the International Conference of Malignant Lymphoma (ICML) Annual Meeting 2023. In the ongoing Phase 1/2a study of BI-1206 in combination with rituximab for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), the dose escalation phase of intravenously (IV) administered BI-1206 has been completed and the recommended IV Phase 2 dose (RP2D) has been identified. A subcutaneous (SC) formulation is being developed in parallel to the IV and the first results will be available during H1 2023. The SC formulation should allow a great deal of flexibility in dosing and regimen to assure the best development of BI-1206. All patients in the ongoing study of BI-1206 have previously been treated with one or multiple rituximab containing treatments and classified as refractory or relapsed. In the IV dose escalation cohort, responses have been observed across the dose range of 30-100 mg, including 4 complete responders (CR), 3 partial responders (PR) and 4 cases of stable disease (SD) out of 15 evaluable patients. Among the CR population, responses have been long-lasting, three of them lasting years after end of treatment, while the 4th is still on treatment. As of June 12th, 2023, the median duration of complete response was 2.5 years, with three patients still ongoing. No maximum tolerated dose has been defined, and Phase 2a dose expansion cohort is currently enrolling patients. Announcement • Jun 08
BioInvent International AB Announces Additional Efficacy Data from Intravenous Part of Phase 1/2 Trial with BI-1206 in Solid Tumors BioInvent International AB announced six additional patients have been treated in the intravenous (IV) arm of its Phase 1/2 trial (NCT04219254; KEYNOTE-A04) of the novel anti-FcyRIIB antibody BI-1206 in combination with KEYTRUDA®? (pembrolizumab), MSD's (Merck & Co. Inc., Rahway, NJ., USA) anti-PD-1 therapy, in solid tumors. The additional patients have been treated at a dose of 1 mg/kg.

Transgene SA and BioInvent International AB (publ) Announce Positive Progress for BT-001 Transgene SA and BioInvent International AB (BioInvent) jointly announced positive progress and safety data of the ongoing Phase I/IIa trial evaluating BT-001 in patients with solid tumors, including melanoma. The initial data generated in Phase I part A demonstrated that BT-001 alone is well tolerated, with first signs of anti-tumor activity in a hard-to-treat population and confirmed the mechanism of action of BT-001 as a single agent. The initial findings are as follows: After administration, the virus was found in the tumors after several days. This suggests that BT-001 is able to persist and replicates within tumors; This finding is consistent with the expression of the anti-CTLA-4 observed in the tumor with no detectable systemic exposure; No spreading in blood or biological fluids has been detected, suggesting high tumor specificity; Tumor shrinkage was observed in one patient in the first cohort. The part A of the Phase I trial aims to establish the tolerability of BT-001 and to determine the dose and administration schedule for further development. Repeated (every 3 weeks) and ascending doses of intratumoral administration of BT-001, as a single agent, will be administered to up to 18 patients with metastatic/advanced tumors. The first two dose levels have been successfully completed, with 12 patients dosed to date. The Safety Review Committee (SRC) has stated that the safety profile supports escalation to the highest dose level of Phase I part A. The Phase I part B is planned to start in H2 2022. This part will assess the combination of intratumoral injections of BT-001 with intravenous administrations of the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab. BT-001 is based on Transgene’s patented oncolytic vector and is encoding BioInvent’s proprietary anti-CTLA-4 antibody; it is codeveloped by the two biotechnology companies. About the trial: The ongoing Phase I/IIa (NCT04725331) study is a multicenter, open label, dose-escalation trial evaluating BT-001 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1 treatment). Patient inclusions are ongoing in Europe (France, Belgium) and the trial has been authorized in the US. This Phase I is divided into two parts. In part A, patients with metastatic/advanced tumors receive single agent, intra-tumoral administrations of BT-001. Part B will explore the combination of intra-tumoral injections of BT-001 with pembrolizumab. The Phase IIa will evaluate the combination regimen in several patient cohorts with different tumor types. These expansion cohorts will offer the possibility of exploring the activity of this approach to treat other malignancies not traditionally addressed with this type of treatment. About BT-001: BT-001 is an oncolytic virus generated using Transgene’s Invir.IO™ platform and its patented large-capacity VVcopTK-RR- oncolytic virus, which has been engineered to encode both a Treg-depleting human recombinant anti-CTLA-4 antibody generated by BioInvent’s proprietary n-CoDeR®/F.I.R.S.T™ platforms, and the human GM-CSF cytokine. By selectively targeting the tumor microenvironment, BT-001 is expected to elicit a much stronger and more effective antitumoral response. As a consequence, by reducing systemic exposure, the safety and tolerability profile of the anti-CTLA-4 antibody may be greatly improved. Announcement • Jun 10

Bioinvent International AB & Transgene Joint JITC Publication Demonstrates the Potential of BT-001 Oncolytic Virus to Provide Therapeutic Benefit Beyond Current Anti-PD-1/ Anti-CTLA-4 Immune Checkpoint Blockade BioInvent International AB and Transgene jointly announced the publication of extensive preclinical proof-of-concept data for BT-001 in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC). This peer-reviewed article demonstrates that their co-developed clinical stage product, based on Transgene's patented oncolytic vector and encoding BioInvent's proprietary anti-CTLA-4 antibody, has the potential to provide greater therapeutic benefit than systemically administered anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. Systemically administered anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, such as the approved ipilimumab, have demonstrated substantial efficacy but also clinically limiting toxicity. The JITC paper provides in vivo evidence that vectorized anti-CTLA-4 antibodies delivered intratumorally (i.t.) can improve safety by reducing their systemic exposure. Efficacy may also be improved, with evidence from the immunocompetent murine model showing that vectorized anti-CTLA-4 antibodies have anti-tumoral activity even against `cold tumors' that are resistant to systemically-delivered checkpoint inhibitors. Furthermore, the precise targeting of the antibody to a unique functional epitope of CTLA-4 provides a higher level of regulatory T cells (Treg) depletion than ipilimumab. The safety-relevant data, published in JITC, show that a murine vector version of BT-001 delivered sustained levels of CTLA-4-receptor-saturating antibodies within tumors but low, sub-saturating exposure in blood and non-tumor tissue. These antibody levels were associated with high depletion of Tregs in the tumor but the absence of systemic Treg depletion, notably in the spleen. The study also provides several key insights into likely mechanisms underlying the efficacy of BT-001. Vectorized anti-CTLA-4: triggered both Fcy-receptor-dependent Treg depletion and antigen cross-presentation, mechanisms known to trigger and promote long-lasting, systemic, CD8+ T cell antitumor immunity. showed broad antitumor activity, including activity against murine `cold tumor' models which are resistant to systemic checkpoint inhibitors. Showed additive or synergistic anti-tumor activity when combined with anti-PD-1. The JITC paper is titled `Vectorized Treg-depleting anti-CTLA-4 elicits antigen cross-presentation and CD8+ T cell immunity to reject "cold" tumors' and can be accessed here. Recruitment in the ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical study of BT-001 (NCT04725331) in Europe is progressing steadily. The trial assesses BT-001 as a single agent and in combination with the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab against solid tumors. Initial Phase I data are expected in the first half of 2022.

BioInvent International AB (publ) Announces Positive Early Data from Ongoing Solid Cancer Trial of BI-1206 in Combination with Pembrolizumab BioInvent International AB ("BioInvent") announced positive early data from the ongoing clinical study of its novel anti-FcyRIIB antibody BI-1206 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors. Early observations are that BI-1206 may stem and reverse metastatic disease progression in patients who have previously progressed on PD-1/PDL-1 therapies and other prior treatments. No major safety concerns have been noted. The study and the observed responses will be discussed as part of BioInvent's Key Opinion Leader Webinar on BI-1206 on December 17, 2021. The study is recruiting patients with advanced solid tumors who had progressed on prior treatments including PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors. Patients receive a three-week cycle of BI-1206 in combination with pembrolizumab for up to two years, or until disease progression. As of November 29, 2021, eleven patients in three dose cohorts have been treated with BI-1206 in combination with pembrolizumab and four patients are still on treatment. During the study period, a patient with stage IV sarcoma was able to stop all pain medication, the coughing disappeared, and the shortness of breath markedly improved. From the time of ending participation in the BI-1206 study, the patient did not receive any other anti-cancer treatment and showed on a scan performed in September 2021 that some metastatic lesions have disappeared, some are smaller, and others have not changed. No lesions have grown, and no new lesions are evident. Another patient, with uveal melanoma, demonstrated a partial response and is still on treatment with the combination of BI-1206 and pembrolizumab. Metastatic uveal melanoma is a difficult-to-treat disease, with median overall survival of approximately 13.4 months, with only 8% of patients surviving after 2 years). Keytruda® is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co. Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA, with whom BioInvent has a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement for this study. Announcement • Dec 13
Bioinvent International Announces Updated Positive Interim Top-Line Data from Its Novel Anti-FcyRIIB Antibody Bi-1206 BioInvent International AB ("BioInvent") announced updated positive interim top-line data from its novel anti-FcyRIIB antibody BI-1206 that show increased response levels and sustained complete responses. The data represent the status to early November 2021 - of the company's Phase 1/2a clinical trial of BI-1206 in combination with rituximab (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody) treating patients with indolent relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). They are published in a poster at the 63rd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (ASH 2021). The ASH 2021 poster shows that BI-1206 in combination with rituximab provided an objective response rate (ORR) of 54%, with three complete responses and four partial responses in 13 patients evaluated for therapeutic benefit for the three indications (Mantle cell lymphoma, Marginal zone lymphoma and Follicular lymphoma) enrolled in the clinical study. The treatment stabilized disease in one additional patient, giving a disease control rate of 62% (8 out of 13 patients). When considered alone, the response rate for Follicular lymphoma is particularly impressive: of nine evaluable patients, three developed a CR, three developed a PR and one patient had SD at the cut-off date, giving a 67% ORR and 78% DCR. Previous rituximab treatments without BI-1206 had failed in these patients, prior to participation in the trial all patients had relapsed on earlier lines of rituximab-containing treatments.

Bioinvent International AB and Transgene Receive IND Approval from the U.S. FDA for BT-001 BioInvent International AB and Transgene announced that their Investigational New Drug (IND) application for BT-001 has been granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This IND will allow patients in the U.S. to be enrolled into the ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial of this novel oncolytic virus BT-001. BT-001 is armed with both a differentiated Treg-depleting human recombinant anti-CTLA4 antibody and GM-CSF. The ongoing Phase 1/2a study is a multicenter, open label, dose-escalation trial evaluating BT-001 as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. The Phase 1 part of the trial has already been initiated in Europe, where it is enrolling patients in several countries. BT-001 is expected to elicit a strong and effective antitumoral response by selectively targeting and modulating the tumor microenvironment. In addition, delivering the anti-CTLA4 antibody directly to the tumor aims to induce local Treg depletion and strong therapeutic activity. As a consequence, the safety and tolerability profile of the anti-CTLA4 antibody is expected to be greatly improved due to reduced systemic exposure. BT-001 is being codeveloped through a 50/50 collaboration between BioInvent and Transgene. The Phase 1 trial is divided into two parts.
