Oncopeptides AB (Publ) Announces Enrollment of First Patient in Oncopeptides' Glioblastoma Study Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the clinical "Window-of-Opportunity" (WoO) study evaluating its proprietary Peptide Drug Conjugate (PDC) platform in glioblastoma. The WoO study, named OP-701 (INSULA), represents the first clinical evaluation of a PDC in glioblastoma, marking a major strategic milestone as Oncopeptides expands its core technology platform beyond multiple myeloma. The focused trial will enroll approximately 10 patients to provide initial human proof-of-concept to assess that the company's technology successfully penetrates the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) in glioblastoma patients and have cytotoxic (cell killing) activity in tumor cells. The BBB remains the primary clinical obstacle and causes most traditional oncological drugs to fail in this disease. By utilizing an approved drug from Oncopeptides' platform as a "clinical probe," the study employs an innovative and highly efficient design to capture drug activity directly within the tumor tissue from patients scheduled for surgery for recurrent disease. This approach aims to validate the underlying biological mechanism in a rapid, cost-efficient manner before advancing a PDC asset into formal dose-finding and potential further clinical trials. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and devastating form of brain cancer, characterized by rapid tumor growth, invariable relapse, and a total lack of curative options, with a median survival rate of just 12–15 months. The global glioblastoma market represents a profound unmet medical need and is estimated to be worth more than 8 billion USD by 2035. Oncopeptides' PDC molecules are believed to be uniquely equipped to pass the blood-brain barrier due to their small size and lipophilicity, entering the target cancer cells freely to deliver their cytotoxic payload directly where it is needed. The trial is conducted at Oslo University Hospital in Norway. Breakeven Date Change • Jun 08

Oncopeptides AB Announces Publication of Phase 2 Bridge Study Results for Pepaxti in Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients with Renal Impairment Oncopeptides AB (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: ONCO), a biotech company focused on difficult-to-treat cancers, announced the publication of the results from the Phase 2 BRIDGE (OP-107) clinical study in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia. The prospective, open-label study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and efficacy of Pepaxti (melflufen) plus dexamethasone in relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients with moderate-to-severe renal impairment (RI). Patients with renal insufficiency represent roughly half of all myeloma diagnoses and typically suffer from poorer long-term outcomes and limited clinical options. The final analyses demonstrate that while systemic exposure to the active metabolite melphalan varies based on baseline kidney function, a reduced melflufen starting dose of 30 mg in patients with moderate renal impairment delivers a consistent safety profile, treatment responses, and survival measures aligned with prior trials conducted in less selected populations. Furthermore, exploratory data gathered across the treatment cycles showed that renal function remained stable or slightly improved during therapy, suggesting that Pepaxti does not adversely impact the kidneys at the studied doses. Validated dose optimization: The PK data directly validate the clinical use and efficacy of a 30 mg Pepaxti starting dose for patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR =30 to <45 mL/min/1.73 m²). Sustained efficacy in fragile populations: Patients with moderate renal impairment achieved an Overall Response Rate (ORR) of 47.6% in Cohort 1a (40 mg starting dose) and 70.0% in Cohort 1b (30 mg starting dose), with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 8.6 months and 7.7 months, respectively. No new safety signals: Despite advanced renal impairment and high treatment exposure, the safety profile was well-characterized and manageable. The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events were hematological (thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia), which is consistent with previous clinical trials. The full article, titled "BRIDGE (OP-107): A Phase 2 Pharmacokinetic Study of Melflufen Plus Dexamethasone in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Impaired Renal Function," is available online via Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia. Pepaxti (melphalan flufenamide, also called melflufen) has been granted Marketing Authorization, in the European Union, the EEA-countries Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway, as well as in the UK. Pepaxti is indicated in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapies, whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and who have demonstrated disease progression on or after the last therapy. For patients with a prior autologous stem cell transplantation, the time to progression should be at least 3 years from transplantation. Breakeven Date Change • May 20

Oncopeptides AB (publ) Announces the Publication of Two Real-World Evidence (RWE) Abstracts on Pepaxti At the International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced the publication of two real-world evidence (RWE) abstracts on Pepaxti at the International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, September 17-20 in Toronto, Canada. As previously communicated, the data were generated through treatment outcomes in real world settings from centers in Valencia, Spain and Bologna, Italy and underscore the growing interest in real-world clinical use of Pepaxti. The Italian study reports an overall response rate (ORR) of 47% in a heavily pretreated patient population with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, confirming the efficacy previously demonstrated in the HORIZON trial with a similar safety profile. Importantly, the study demonstrated efficacy in patients treated with novel immunotherapies, underscoring the robust effectiveness of Pepaxti in daily clinical practice. The Spanish study confirms the efficacy of Pepaxti in an even more heavily pretreated patient population where the majority of patients had been exposed to either anti-BCMA or anti-GPRC5D immunotherapy, generating data highly relevant to clinicians seeking guidance for treatment decisions. Both studies confirm Pepaxti's favorable tolerability profile in real-world settings - a key consideration in multiple myeloma where safety challenges are common. Announcement • Aug 22

Oncopeptides AB (publ) Presents New Data Highlighting Treatment Benefits of Pepaxti in High-Risk Multiple Myeloma Patients at the COMy Congress Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that new scientific data on melflufen, branded in Europe as Pepaxti, has been accepted at the 10th annual World Congress on Cont Cont Cont Controversies in Multiple Myeloma (COMy), to be held on May 23-26. The study, published by a team from institutions across Europe, including the University of Wurzburg and the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland, focuses on the effectiveness of melflufen and shows promising results for the drug when treating patients with a particularly challenging form of multiple myeloma. The study will be presented to congress attendees through an online oral presentation on May 26. The presentation will be given by Caroline Heckman, from the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland. Multiple myeloma can be especially difficult to treat in patients who have specific genetic mutations or deletions, such as del(17p) and/or mutations in the TP53 gene. These genetic characteristics are associated with a poorer prognosis and shorter survival rates. The research findings indicate that melflufen is more effective than traditional alkylating agents causing DNA damage and promoting the death of cancer cells lacking a functional so-called p53 protein, which is a common issue in high-risk multiple myeloma cases. The study also highlighted significant changes in gene expression that enhance the drug's impact on cancer cells. Furthermore, patients with the del(17p) genetic abnormality treated with melflufen and dexamethasone showed a longer progression-free survival and higher overall response rate compared to those treated with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in the OP-103 OCEAN trial.

Oncopeptides AB (Publ) Announces Positive Opinion on Type II Variation to Extend the Therapeutic Indication of Pepaxti Based on Ocean Trial Results Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), part of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), has, following their scientific assessment, adopted a positive opinion on Oncopeptides' application for earlier lines of treatment for patients with relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The opinion from the CHMP will now be sent to the European Commission for a final decision. Based on findings from its OCEAN trial, Oncopeptides submitted, on 28 Nov. 2022, an application to extend the therapeutic indication of Pepaxti to the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior lines of therapies, whose disease is refractory to lenalidomide and the last line of therapy. With their opinion, CHMP recommends that the use of Pepaxti could be expanded to earlier lines of treatment and also peripheral administration, meaning delivery of treatment through peripheral rather than central veins, a less invasive way of administration. Oncopeptides will as a next step assess the current market dynamics of the rapidly evolving multiple myeloma landscape, including the competition in different lines of treatment and the effect that extending Pepaxti into earlier lines of treatment would have on Oncopeptides's ability to receive a reimbursed price that reflects its innovation.

Oncopeptides AB (Publ) Presents Clinical Abstracts on Melflufen At the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that three abstracts with data on melflufen (INN melphalan flufenamide) in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma, RRMM, have been accepted by the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology, ASCO, and have now been published online. The clinical data presentations include updates on Oncopeptides' ANCHOR and LIGHTHOUSE studies as well as a pooled analysis of the O-12-M1 and HORIZON studies in patients who have been exposed to or become refractory to prior alkylators. Anchor (Op-104): Melflufen Plus Dexamethasone and Bortezomib in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients: The ANCHOR study determined that the optimal dose of melflufen is 30 mg plus dexamethasone and bortezomib and the results showed clinical activity in heavily pretreated RRMM patients. Recruitment for this study is ongoing and updated data including efficacy and safety will be presented at ASCO. Lighthouse (Op-108): A Phase 3 Study of Melflufen in Combination with Dexamethasone and Daratumumab in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients: A Pooled Analysis of the O-12-M1 and Horizon Studies: Melflufen Plus Dexamethasone in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Patients (Rrmm) Who Are Exposed or Refractory to Prior Alkylators The phase 3 LIGHTHOUSE study is a randomized, controlled, open-label study of melflufen plus dexamethasone in combination with daratumumab vs daratumumab alone in patients with RRMM previously treated with an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor, similar to the indication for daratumumab monotherapy. The primary objective is superiority of PFS. Key secondary endpoints include ORR (= PR), DOR, and safety. Patient recruitment is ongoing with a planned enrolment of 240 patients.

Oncopeptides AB (publ) Presents New Clinical and Preclinical Melflufen Data at the Upcoming European Hematology Association Meeting Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that new clinical and preclinical data have been accepted by the European Hematology Association, EHA, and been published online. The clinical data presentation contains interim results from the phase 2 BRIDGE study supporting the use of melflufen in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma patients with moderately impaired renal function. Two preclinical data presentations show the future potential of melflufen in treatments of other hematological diseases outside multiple myeloma. In addition, the last preclinical data presentation provides an increased understanding of melflufen 's mode of action. Below is a brief description of the abstracts that have been accepted by the EHA. They will be available online at ehaweb.org, from May 12th at 16:00 (CET). 1. BRIDGE (OP-107): A PHASE 2 PHARMACOKINETIC STUDY OF MELFLUFEN PLUS DEXAMETHASONE IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY MULTIPLE MYELOMA AND IMPAIRED RENAL FUNCTION: The study demonstrates that for patients receiving melflufen in the phase 2 BRIDGE study, the exposure to melphalan increased with reduced eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate), similar to what is observed during treatment with melphalan. The overall toxicity profile was as expected for melflufen and dexamethasone and no new safety signals were observed, supporting the use of melflufen in patients with moderate renal impairment. 2. MELFLUFEN DEMONSTRATES HIGH EFFICACY IN CYTARABINE AND VENETOCLAX RESISTANT AML MODELS: The study shows that multiple aminopeptidases are highly expressed in AML-samples, providing a good rationale for using melflufen therapy. Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, often develop resistance to current treatments, including cytarabine and venetoclax, yet in pre-clinical models of resistance to these agents, melflufen shows high efficacy. 3. MELPHALAN FLUFENAMIDE IS A HIGHLY POTENT ANTI-NEOPLASTIC AGENT IN HIGH RISK DLBCL MODELS: Several aminopeptidase genes are highly expressed in samples of patients with DLBCL, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, and their elevated expression is associated with significantly shorter survival. In preclinical in vitro tests of DLBCL cell lines, melflufen shows superior cytotoxicity compared to Standard of Care drugs doxorubicin and bendamustine. 4. MELFLUFEN RAPIDLY ACCUMULATES WITHIN TUMOR CELLS AND DISTRIBUTES AN ALKYLATING PAYLOAD TO THE NUCLEUS AND MITOCHONDRIA: The increased lipophilicity of melflufen can affect the redistribution of the alkylating payload within the cell. Data show that melflufen, but not melphalan, localized significantly within lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and importantly mitochondria, which may affect the mechanism of cancer cell killing. PEPAXTO. (melphalan flufenamide, also known as melflufen), in combination with dexamethasone, was granted accelerated approval by the FDA on February 26, 2021, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy and whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one CD38-directed monoclonal antibody.

Oncopeptides AB (publ) Announces New Data for Melflufen Accepted for Presentation at the Annual American Society of Hematology Meeting Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that twelve abstracts, including one oral presentation, have been accepted for the upcoming virtual American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting on December 5-8, 2020. Key clinical abstracts focus on data from the ongoing phase 1/2 ANCHOR combination study and the pivotal phase 2 HORIZON study. The preclinical abstracts further explore the mechanism of action of the proprietary peptide-drug conjugate platform in multidrug resistant models of multiple myeloma. The updated analysis of the ongoing phase 1/2 ANCHOR study confirms the initial findings of encouraging activity as a triplet regimen with melflufen plus dexamethasone and either daratumumab or bortezomib in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma and sets the foundation for the planned phase 3 LIGHTHOUSE daratumumab combination study. Seven clinical abstracts are based on the HORIZON study, most notable are the subgroup analysis of patients exposed to and refractory to alkylators and the analysis of patients with extramedullary disease, that further verify the distinct mechanism of action of melflufen. Melflufen (INN Melphalan flufenamide) is an investigational first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) that targets aminopeptidases and rapidly releases alkylating agents into tumor cells. Melflufen is in late-stage clinical development for the treatment of patients with triple-class refractory multiple myeloma and has recently been granted a priority review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, for a New Drug Application based on the results from the phase 2 HORIZON study. Announcement • Oct 19
Oncopeptides AB (publ) Submits Investigational New Drug application to FDA for the second drug candidate from the PDC platform Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that the company has submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for OPD5 - a second drug candidate based on the proprietary Peptide Drug Conjugate platform (PDC). Oncopeptides plans to initiate clinical development of OPD5 with an open-label phase 1, dose escalation study on safety and tolerability of OPD5 as a myeloablative regimen followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma. The specific formulation enables administration of high doses which provides a clear rationale for treatment of this patient group. OPD5 is based on the proprietary PDC platform. Peptide-drug conjugates leverages aminopeptidases and releases alkylating agents rapidly into tumor cells. Aminopeptidases are overexpressed in tumor cells and are even more pronounced in advanced cancers and tumors with a high mutational burden. Announcement • Oct 13
Oncopeptides AB (publ) Intents to File for Conditional Approval of Melflufen with EMA Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that the Company has informed the European Medicines Agency, EMA, about its intention to submit an application for a conditional marketing authorization of melflufen (INN melphalan flufenamide) in the EU, based on the pivotal phase 2 HORIZON study in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The decision to submit an application for conditional approval has been grounded on an in-depth analysis of the regulatory environment and is endorsed by key opinion leaders in the EU. Previously the Company intended to await the results from the ongoing randomized, phase 3 OCEAN study before submitting an application for marketing authorization. Upon completion, the outcome from the OCEAN study comparing melflufen and pomalidomide in patients with RRMM, will be submitted to regulatory authorities to potentially expand the label of melflufen. The HORIZON study demonstrates that melflufen in combination with dexamethasone has a potential to provide a therapeutic option for patients with RRMM that are hard to treat and have a poor prognosis, including patients with triple-class refractory myeloma and patients with extramedullary disease (EMD). According to the European Medicines Agency, medicines are eligible for conditional approval if they are aimed at treating or preventing seriously debilitating or life-threatening diseases. Conditional marketing authorizations may be granted if; the benefit-risk balance of the product is positive, comprehensive data can be provided, there is an unmet medical need, and the benefit to public health of making the product available outweighs the risks due to need for additional data. The US Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has granted priority review to Oncopeptides' New Drug Application of melflufen in combination with dexamethasone for treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. The FDA has set a target date for the review of the New Drug Application, to February 28, 2021. Announcement • Oct 04
Oncopeptides initiates U.S. Expanded Access Program with melflufen in triple-class refractory multiple myeloma Oncopeptides AB (publ) announced that the open-label Expanded Access Program, sEAPort, for eligible U.S. patients, is formally open. Melflufen (INN melphalan flufenamide), is currently being evaluated in several clinical studies as a treatment for patients with triple-class refractory multiple myeloma. The sEAPort program is available to adults, age 18 and older, who have received at least two prior lines of therapy and whose multiple myeloma is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory drug and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, (i.e., triple-class refractory multiple myeloma patients). The Expanded Access Program was initiated following the Company's June 30 submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, for accelerated approval of melflufen in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with triple-class refractory multiple myeloma. The NDA and the sEAPort program are primarily supported by data from the pivotal phase 2 HORIZON study, which demonstrates that melflufen in combination with dexamethasone, has a potential to provide a therapeutic option for patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma who are hard to treat and have a poor prognosis, including patients with triple-class refractory multiple myeloma and patients with extramedullary disease. EAPs are designed to provide patients living with serious or life-threatening conditions access to investigational medicines when no comparable or satisfactory treatment options are available, alternative therapies have been exhausted or the patient is ineligible for ongoing interventional trials. Forty to fifty medical sites in the U.S. are expected to enroll 100-200 patients in the sEAPort program.
