NeoImmuneTech's New Data at ASCO 2024 Highlights Enhanced Benefits of Combining NT-I7 with Checkpoint Inhibitors (CPI) in Immuno-Oncology NeoImmuneTech, Inc. announced promising interim results of its major clinical trial NIT-110 of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) global meeting held in Chicago, from May 31 to June 4. The company also presented two additional posters at the conference. NIT-110 is a foundational clinical trial for NT-I7 that aims to confirm the safety and efficacy of combining NT-I7 with pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) in solid tumors. The data presented at ASCO 2024 confirmed that the combination is safe and well-tolerated. Key findings from NIT-110 include: Pancreatic cancer - Data showed a median overall survival (mOS) of 11.1 months among the 48 pancreatic cancer patients included in the study. The mOS for pancreatic cancer patients who have received a second-line standard of care treatment is currently known to be 6.1 months. This mOS improvement is particularly noteworthy considering that 93.75% of the patients are receiving the combination treatment as third-line or beyond. MSS colorectal cancer -The mOS for the 50 microsatellite-stable (MSS) colorectal cancer patients was 13.2 months. The mOS for the current standard of care treatment is 10.8 months. These results underscore the improved efficacy of the NT-I7 and Keytruda combination over existing standard of care treatments. separate poster from trial NIT-110 revealed a correlative analysis identifying a potentially predictive biomarker. These biomarkers may help identify patient populations more likely to benefit clinically from the NT-I7 and Keytruda combination. NeoImmuneTech is committed to further biomarker validation to enhance clinical outcomes. Additionally, a preclinical study presented at ASCO 2024 highlighted the combination of NT-I7 with an oncolytic virus (ZIKV) in a glioblastoma animal model. Results demonstrated a significant increase in tumor specific CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment, leading to improved survival rates. Furthermore, 80% of cases in the experimental group combining NT-I7 with immune checkpoint inhibitors resulted in complete tumor eradication. NT-I7 continues to show clinical benefits driven by T cell amplification when combined with immune therapies. NIT-110 is an open label Phase 2a clinical trial supported by Merck that aims to confirm the efficacy of combining NT-I7 with Keytruda in two solid tumors. Early results in 2022 had confirmed the efficacy of the combination in pancreatic cancer and MSS colorectal cancer patients, who are known to be unresponsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors alone. Consequently, 24 and 25 additional patients were recruited for each group, respectively, bringing the total to 48 pancreatic cancer patients and 50 MSS colorectal cancer patients currently undergoing clinical trials. Results presented at ASCO 2024 provide an updated analysis including the original and expansion cohorts. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7, and is being developed in oncologic and immunologic indications, where T cell amplification and increased functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and for sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases). NT-I7 exhibits favorable PK/PD and safety profiles, making it an ideal combination partner. NT-I7 is being studied in multiple clinical trials in solid tumors and as vaccine adjuvant. Studies are being planned for testing in hematologic malignancies, additional solid tumors and other immunology-focused indications. Duyuru • Apr 03

Fda Grants Orphan Drug Designation to Neoimmunetech's Nt-I7 for the Treatment of Acute Radiation Syndrome NeoImmuneTech, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for their investigational drug NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) (rhIL-7-hyFc) for the treatment of Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). ARS is an illness that occurs following a high dose of radiation exposure, leading to severe damage to the bone marrow and the immune system. Currently, there are no treatments available that effectively promote T cell recovery after such exposure. NT-I7, a novel long-acting human interleukin-7 (IL-7), is expected to address this unmet medical need, with the potential to rapidly recover and improve the immune response. In the clinical setting, NT-I7 has demonstrated impressive results by effectively and consistently boosting T cell counts, all while maintaining a remarkable level of safety and tolerance. The FDA's ODD for NT-I7 reflects progress in the company's efforts. A contract research organization (CRO) under contract to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is conducting a study that employs well-developed NIAID ARS rodent models to investigate NT-I7's efficacy as a potential treatment for the serious health implications of ARS. NIAID is supporting this research through product development funding to the CRO. ODD is a status assigned to a medicine intended for use against a rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. The designation provides incentives to advance the development of treatments for rare diseases, including protection from competition once the drug is on the market, tax credits for clinical research costs, and exemption from prescription drug user fees.

New Evidence of NeoImmuneTech's NT-I7 Clinical Efficacy in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Gastrointestinal Tumors NeoImmuneTech, Inc. presented new data from its phase 2a clinical study NIT-110, at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2022 annual meeting. Results showed the clinical efficacy of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) when combined with pembrolizumab in checkpoint-inhibitor-naïve microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (CPI-naïve MSS-CRC) and pancreatic cancer (CPI-naïve PaC). The oral presentation from Dr. A. Naing (University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center) has been focused on the follow-up of two cohorts of patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) gastrointestinal indications: 25 patients with CPI-naïve MSS-CRC and 25 patients with CPI-naïve PaC. The presentation highlighted results of patients who did not have liver metastasis, which is usually associated with a worse prognosis and is known to be a predictable marker. While historically anti-PD(L) monotherapies have shown no response in these indications, results presented at SITC showed an ORR of 30.8% and a DCR of 69.2% per iRECIST across the groups in patients without liver metastasis (n=13/50). Among the patients without liver metastasis, the probability of survival rate through 60 weeks was 100%, which is significantly higher than in those with liver metastasis. However, in patients with liver metastasis, the combination of NT-I7 plus pembrolizumab also showed clinical benefit. One patient had a partial response with 46% tumor reduction (per iRECIST) even though the patient had 3 liver lesions at baseline. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining confirmed that the combination of NT-I7 plus pembrolizumab boosts CD8+ T cell infiltration in patients regardless of liver metastasis. Data also suggested that increased CD8+ T cell infiltration correlates with higher OS and favors a tumor microenvironment that contributes to the overall high DCR observed in these hard-to-treat CPI-resistant indications. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7 and is being developed in oncologic and immunologic indications, where T cell amplification and increased functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases).

NeoImmuneTech's NT-I7 Enhances CAR-T Cell Expansion, Persistence and Anti-tumor Activity NeoImmuneTech, Inc. reported that Nature Communications published the results of an in vivo study combining the long-acting human IL-7, NT-I7, with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells directed against CD19+ B cell lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia. The study led by Dr. DiPersio and his team at Washington University investigated the impact of NT-I7 on in vivo CAR-T cell expansion and anti-tumor response employing sophisticated models of B cell lymphoma or acute myeloid leukemia and an immune competent syngeneic model of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Utilizing these tools, the group tested whether NT-I7 could expand a less differentiated CAR-T product with improved durability and tumor killing abilities in multiple models of hematological cancer. Over the past 10 years, CAR-T cell therapy has become routinely used to treat patients with refractory hematologic malignancies. Despite progress, long-lived memory responses and long-term in vivo persistence of CAR-T cells have yet to be consistently achieved to prevent tumor cell escape and clinical relapse. In the study reported in Nature Communications, NT-I7 protected CD19-targeting CAR-T cells from cell death, enhancing their viability while promoting their expansion in the presence of CD19+ tumor cells. CAR-T cells expanded in the presence of NT-I7 were less differentiated but with equivalent effector cytokine secreting abilities. Treatment of tumor bearing mice with NT-I7 enhanced in vivo expansion and subsequent anti-tumor effects of CAR-T cells targeting CD19+ B cell lymphoma or CD33+ acute-myeloid leukemia. The combination of NT-I7 and CAR-T cells dramatically extended survival. Impressively, co-treatment of tumor bearing mice with NT-I7 reduced the minimum number of CAR-T cells needed to achieve a survival benefit by imparting increased tumor killing abilities to CAR-T cells on a per cell basis and expanding CAR-T cells in vivo. These studies provide compelling evidence that NT-I7 has the potential to enhance CAR-T therapy for the treatment of hematological diseases by promoting CAR-T anti-tumor activity, expansion and persistence. This study presented in Nature Communications demonstrates the potential for NT-I7 to support impactful clinical use of multiple CAR-T therapies with improved safety and tolerability. Strategic combination of NT-I7 with CD19-targeting CAR-T cells is currently being tested as part of a multi-site clinical trial (NCT05075603) for the treatment of relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

NeoImmuneTech, Inc.'s Lead Asset NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) Shows Preliminary Anticancer Activity in Combination with Check-Point Inhibitors NeoImmuneTech, Inc. presented new data from two on-going clinical studies at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, 3-7 June 2022. The data, presented in poster discussion and poster display sessions, combine its lead asset NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a long-acting human IL-7, with check-point inhibitors pembrolizumab and atezolizumab, and showed that anti-cancer and safety results associated with NT-I7 were consistent with previously communicated results. In the phase 2a study NIT-11o, NT-I7 combined with pembrolizumab showed preliminary anticancer activity and a manageable toxicity profile in heavily pretreated patients with immunologically cold microsatellite stable tumors, colorectal cancers (CRC), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cancers not previously treated with CPIs, as well as in CPI-treated patients with triple negative breast cancers, non-small cell lung cancers, and small-cell lung cancers (SCLC). CPIs are usually ineffective in patients with immunologically cold tumors, such as MSS-CRC or PDAC, and in patients progressing despite prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition. ORR for the MSS-CRC cohort was 11.1% with 40.7% DCR; and the PDAC cohort had an ORR of 7.7% with 34.6% DCR. Two patients out of 26 in the PDAC cohort showed significant target lesion reduction (- 100% and -72% respectively). In all cohorts, including CPI-treated and CPI-naïve subjects, NT-I7 plus pembrolizumab led to an increase in change of mean absolute lymphocyte count from baseline. In the phase 1b/2a study NIT-106, the combination of NT-I7 with atezolizumab showed favorable safety and anticancer activity in CPI-relapsed/refractory high-risk skin cancer patients. The recommended phase 2 dose was determined so that phase 2a dose expansion is now enrolling. The combination increased by 30-fold the stem-cell memory T cells (Tscm), which may be associated to better anti-tumor activity. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7, and is being developed in oncologic and immunologic indications, where T cell amplification and increased functionality may provide clinical benefit.

Neoimmunetech Demonstrates Nt-I7’S Broad Combination Potential with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Immunocytokine At Aacr 2022 NeoImmuneTech, Inc. (NIT), presented the broad combination potential of its long-acting IL-7 candidate - NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) (rhIL-7-hyFc) - at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, April 8-13 2022. In the two pre-clinical studies presented as posters, NT-I7, a novel long-acting human IL-7, was evaluated in combination with IL-2 (hIL-2/TCB2c), and in combination with anti-TIGIT or anti-VEGF therapies. NT-I7 has demonstrated in previous studies that it can increase the number of memory T cells with prolonged effect, whereas IL-2 activates the effector T cell for a limited period. The results of the pre-clinical study showed that the combination of their different mechanisms of action (MoAs) created a heightened anti-tumor response. Additionally, data from the second pre-clinical study showed that NT-I7, in combination with anti-TIGIT or anti-VEGF, enhanced the anti-tumor responses and this effect was further increased when NT-I7 was combined with anti-TIGIT and anti-PD-1 in triple combination. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7, and is being developed in oncologic and immunologic indications, where T cell amplification and increased functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and for sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases). NT-I7 exhibits favorable PK/PD and safety profiles, making it an ideal combination partner. NT-I7 is being studied in multiple clinical trials in solid tumors and as vaccine adjuvant.

NeoImmuneTech, Inc. Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 2 Study of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) with PD-L1 Checkpoint Inhibitor in High-Risk Skin Cancers NeoImmuneTech, Inc. announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2a portion of a study evaluating NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a novel long-acting human interleukin-7 (IL-7), in combination with the PD-L1 targeting drug atezolizumab (Tecentriq®), in patients with advanced high-risk skin cancers including melanoma, merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). All three of these skin cancers can grow rapidly and have the potential to be fatal if left untreated. While cSCC is considered a more treatable form of skin cancer, it affects millions of patients per year in the U.S. alone and represents up to 50% of all skin cancer cases. Melanoma and MCC are less common forms of skin cancer, but they are notable for spreading rapidly and carrying a high risk for recurrence. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S., accounting for more diagnoses than all other cancers combined. This open-label, multicenter Phase 2a study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor effect of the combination therapy. Roche will supply NeoImmuneTech with atezolizumab for the clinical trial. Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) is a registered trademark of Genentech, a member of the Roche Group. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7, and is being developed for oncologic and immunologic indications, in which T cell amplification and enhanced functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and for sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases).

NeoImmuneTech, Inc. Announces the Publication of Preclinical Data Evaluating Lead Asset NT-I7 NeoImmuneTech, Inc. announced the publication of preclinical data evaluating the company’s lead asset NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a novel T cell amplifier, in mouse models of glioblastoma (GBM). The data come from a publication titled “Long-acting recombinant human interleukin-7, NT-I7, increases cytotoxic CD8 T cells and enhances survival in mouse glioma models,” in the Clinical Cancer Research journal. The paper waspublished in collaboration with lead author Dr. Jian Li Campian, M.D., Ph.D., of the Mayo Clinic and Principal Investigator of this study, along with additional authors from NeoImmuneTech. These data show that NT-I7, in combination with radiation therapy, significantly prolonged survival in two glioma models dependent on the NT-I7-driven increase of CD8 T cells. This study utilized a murine model of glioblastoma, in which one dose of NT-I7 significantly boosted lymphocyte levels in the blood, lymphoid organs and tumor and enhanced the anti-tumor response in animal. When NT-I7 was combined with radiation therapy, this translated to a significant improvement in mouse survival; the addition of temozolomide (TMZ) offered no additional survival improvement. In addition, data showed that NT-I7promoted an inflamed tumor microenvironment by significantly increasing the CD8 to Treg ratio, and enhanced the anti-tumor response by increasing the infiltration of IFN?-expressing T cells in the tumor. While chemoradiation caused a notable decrease in the number of CD4 and CD8 T cells in the lymph nodes, the addition of NT-I7 not only restored these numbers but in some cases surpassed the levels seen in untreated controls. NT-I7 is currently under evaluation for the treatment of glioblastoma in an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial (NCT03687957). Duyuru • Nov 27

NeoImmuneTech, Inc. Presents Phase 1 Study Data at Society for Neuro-Oncology Annual Meeting NeoImmuneTech, Inc. presented data from Phase 1 of an ongoing study at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) annual meeting. The data show that NT-I7, a novel long-acting human IL-7, was well tolerated following chemoradiation in patients with high-grade gliomas (HGG), supporting continued evaluation in the Phase 2 portion of the study. The data were presented as an oral presentaion, titled “A phase I/II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a novel long-acting interleukin-7, NT-I7, for patients with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas after chemoradiotherapy,” by lead author Jian Li Campian, M.D., Ph.D., of Mayo Clinic. The data show that NT-I7’s maximum tolerated dose in this cohort was 720 µg/kg. Despite the concomitant administration of chemotherapy (temozolomide, TMZ), the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) persistently increased 1.3–4.1 fold at week 4 after NT-I7 injection, suggesting that NT-I7 as a single agent could be an effective approach to counteract the treatment-related lymphopenia associated with shorter survival that is commonly observed in HGG patients after chemoradiation. The median progression-free survival for MGMTp unmethylated GBM was 11.6 months, compared to 5.3 months commonly reported in chemoradiation studies. Strikingly, NT-I7 single agent preferentially expanded memory stem T cells (Tscm), a self-renewing T cell subset that has shown better antitumor activity compared with other memory T cell subsets. Thus, although further studies are necessary to determine the clinical benefit, NT-I7 as a single agent added to neoadjuvant chemotherapy has shown encouraging efficacy signals in this aggressive indication. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7, and is being developed for oncologic and immunologic indications, in which T cell amplification and enhanced functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and for sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases).

NeoImmuneTech Receives U.S. FDA IND Clearance for Phase 1 Study of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) for the Treatment of Kaposi Sarcoma in Patients With or Without HIV Infection NeoImmuneTech, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared an investigational new drug (IND) application for a Phase 1 study evaluating the company’s lead asset, NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a novel long-acting human interleukin-7 (IL-7), for the treatment of Kaposi Sarcoma in patients with or without infection with HIV. This investigator-initiated trial will be conducted by the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network (CITN), a program funded by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, that is managed by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in its role as the CITN Central Operations and Statistical Center. Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative tumor associated with infection by Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV). The identification of a viral etiology of KS helped explain the long-observed association between KS and immunosuppression, specifically CD4+ T cell lymphopenia, commonly seen with HIV infection. IL-7 plays an important role in T cell development and proliferation. In chronic uncontrolled HIV infection, physiologic doses of IL-7 are unable to prevent CD4+ lymphopenia. Furthermore, lymphopenia-inducing insults that may occur in the treatment of KS with anti-neoplastic or radiation treatment could result in a prolonged CD4+ T cell depletion. HIV-related KS accounts for greater than 80% of KS in the United States and increases the risk of death by at least two-fold in these patients. Duyuru • Jun 09

NeoImmuneTech, Inc. Announces First Patient Dosed in the Pilot Study of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) in Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy NeoImmuneTech, Inc. announced that the first patient has been dosed in the pilot study evaluating NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a novel long-acting human IL-7, in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare but very aggressive, opportunistic brain infection. PML is caused by the reactivation of John Cunningham virus (JCV) in immunocompromised individuals, and there are currently no approved therapies for this illness. This investigator-initiated study is being led by Irene Cortese, M.D., of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)/National Institute of Health (NIH). PML is characterized by progressive damage of the white matter of the brain at multiple locations resulting from lytic infection of glia cells, leading to permanent damage of the affected nervous system, and in some cases can be fatal. Common conditions predisposing PML are hematologic and solid malignancies, rheumatologic disorders, primary immune deficiencies, and HIV infection. The primary outcome measure of this pilot study is longitudinal change in absolute lymphocyte count following NT-I7 administration.
