Abstract:

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) still represents an unmet clinical need for adult and pediatric patients. Adoptive cell therapy by chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered T cells demonstrated a high therapeutic potential, but further development is required to ensure a safe and durable disease remission in AML, especially in elderly patients. To date, translation of CAR T-cell therapy in AML is limited by the absence of an ideal tumor-specific antigen. CD123 and CD33 are the 2 most widely overexpressed leukemic stem cell biomarkers but their shared expression with endothelial and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells increases the risk of undesired vascular and hematologic toxicities. To counteract this issue, we established a balanced dual-CAR strategy aimed at reducing off-target toxicities while retaining full functionality against AML. Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, coexpressing a first-generation low affinity anti-CD123 interleukin-3–zetakine (IL-3z) and an anti-CD33 as costimulatory receptor without activation signaling domains (CD33.CCR), demonstrated a powerful antitumor efficacy against AML targets without any relevant toxicity on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and endothelial cells. The proposed optimized dual-CAR cytokine-induced killer cell strategy could offer the opportunity to unleash the potential of specifically targeting CD123+/CD33+ leukemic cells while minimizing toxicity against healthy cells.

IBA venture PanTera gains €134m in funding to scale up actinium-225 production

PanTera aims to accelerate actinium-225 production, used in promising targeted alpha therapy for cancer. Image: Getty Images / Love Employee. PanTera, a Belgian radioisotope producer, announced today (11 September) that it had secured €93m ($102.4m) in an oversubscribed Series A financing round to accelerate production of actinium-225. The radioactive isotope is integral to several investigational cancer therapies. This is the largest Series A financing round in the Belgian life sciences sector to date. The round was led by EQT Life Sciences. Ion Beam Applications (IBA), which invested in the joint venture PanTera with SCK CEN (the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre), and SFPIM—Belgium’s sovereign wealth fund, will also convert loans into €7.2m in equity. Along with €33.8m in debt financing, PanTera will have raised a total of €134m, increasing their valuation to €280m. The deal will see IBA’s shareholding in PanTera drop from 47.8% to 31.3% but will net IBA roughly €23m in profit as a result. Following the announcement, IBA share price was up by 4% when the market opened today, bringing its market cap to €3.29bn. Actinium-225 is a crucial component of targeted alpha therapy. The isotope is conjugated with cancer antigen-targeting elements to deliver localised radiation to cancer cells while minimising damage to healthy tissue. Several investigational treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) depend on actinium-225, including Johnson & Johnson’s JNJ-6420 , Eli Lilly’s PNT-2001, and Novartis ’s AAA-802. The funds are set to support PanTera’s patented photo-nuclear ‘gamma’ process which converts radium-226 to actinium-225. Already, the company is on track to produce 1.5 – 2 Curies (Ci) of the isotope annually from early 2025, a large portion of the estimated 3 Ci per year global supply. Through the gamma process, PanTera claims they will produce over 100 Ci annually by 2029, enough to treat more than 100,000 patients.

PanTera seeks to employ SCK CEN’s large radium-226 stock and IBA’s Rhodotron electron accelerator to overcome the issues of complexity and infrastructure contributing to the global shortage. As pharmaceutical companies ramp up clinical trialling for alpha particle-targeted therapies across various cancers, demand is poised to increase further. The company has signed supply deals with pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as Bayer for their therapies BAY-3563254 and BAY-3546828, both in Phase I trials for mCRPC. It expects to arrange deals to account for over 80% of its productive capacity before production begins.

T-cell targeting Candid Therapeutics launches with $370m

Candid plans to develop antibody drugs for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Credit: Drazen Zigic via Shutterstock. T cell engager (TCE) startup Candid Therapeutics has debuted with $370m in its pocket to develop antibody drugs for inflammatory diseases. Candid plans to develop T cell engager antibodies to selectively target and deplete specific B lymphocyte populations that play a role in autoimmune diseases. Selective depletion of B lymphocytes has shown clinical effectiveness in patients with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and myasthenia gravis. Headquartered in San Diego, California, the company’s Series A funding round was co-led by Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners, Fairmount, TCGX and venBio Partners, with Foresite Capital and Third Rock Ventures also taking part, among others. As part of its debut, Candid inherited two advanced bispecific antibodies to kick off its portfolio. CND106 is a BCMAxCD3 antibody from Vignette, and CD20xCD3 is an antibody from TRC 2004. Both candidates, which have completed Phase I trials with over 130 oncology patients, show potential as therapies for autoimmune diseases, according to Candid. TCE antibodies have the most promise in becoming scalable and patient-friendly drugs that deplete B cells for the treatment of several autoimmune conditions, said Candid’s new CEO Ken Song, whose previous company RayzeBio was acquired by Bristol Myers Squibb in December 2023.

In January 2024, MSD acquired Harpoon in a $680m deal, which included Harpoon’s T cell engagers. One of the candidates, named HPN328, is being tested in a Phase I/II trial (NCT04471727) for some types of lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumours. HPN328 was developed using Harpoon’s TriTAC platform. In April, Roche shared data from a trial of its bispecific T cell engager Columvi (glofitamab). The drug, which targets CD3 on T cells and CD20 on B cells, improved survival in a Phase III lymphoma trial. The 270 participants received either Columvi or Rituxan (rituximab) on top of a regimen of two chemotherapy drugs, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin. In the announcement accompanying the launch, Song said that Candid’s drugs have the potential to “go above and beyond the clinical and commercial success of Humira and Rituxan.” AbbVie ’s Humira (adalimumab) and Biogen and Genentech’s Rituxan are blockbuster autoimmune drugs that pulled in $14.5bn and $1.8bn last year, respectively, as per the company’s financials.

Formosa Pharma ships APP13007 ophthalmic drug to US

Eyenovia has initiated pre-launch activities and is expected to begin the commercialisation of APP13007 by late September 2024. Credit: Formosa Pharmaceuticals Inc. Formosa Pharmaceuticals has announced the first shipment of its ophthalmic asset, clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05% (APP13007),to the US to facilitate commercialisation. The drug, developed using Formosa’s APNT nanotechnology platform, is the first US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved ophthalmic solution featuring the super-potent corticosteroid clobetasol propionate. Bora Pharmaceuticals Ophthalmic has manufactured the shipment of APP13007, which offers a twice-daily dosing regimen that is more convenient than the four doses per day required by other treatments. Eyenovia , Formosa Pharma’s US partner, initiated pre-launch activities and is expected to begin the commercialisation of APP13007 by late September 2024. In 2023, Eyenovia acquired exclusive licensing and commercialisation rights for APP13007 in the US from Formosa Pharmaceuticals in an $86m deal.

The licence has enabled the company to co-ordinate its first shipment to the US, a key step in its strategy for global commercialisation. In anticipation of demand within the US market, Formosa is also collaborating with partners in other regions to prepare for regulatory submissions. The goal is to make APP13007 available in international markets, expanding its reach beyond the US. Formosa Pharmaceuticals focuses primarily on ophthalmology and oncology. Its APNT technology enhances the dissolution, bioavailability and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients, enabling the use of poorly soluble or highly potent drug agents. Formosa Pharma president and CEO Dr Erick Co said, “This first shipment to Eyenovia for the much-anticipated commercial US launch is an exclamation point on our development of APP13007. “We thank all our partners for making this journey with us and are eager to provide this formidable therapy to ocular surgery patients worldwide. We look forward to creating continued value for our stakeholders and shareholders.”
