Immune-Onc Therapeutics, Inc.

→ The top leadership at Lexicon Pharmaceuticals is still undergoing a major makeover as president and COO Jeff Wade heads for the exit on Sept. 30 after 25 years with the Texas-based biotech. Wade won’t be around for the outcome of Lexicon’s latest attempt at an FDA nod in type 1 diabetes for sotagliflozin , which has a Dec. 20 decision date. The drug has already been approved for heart failure and is marketed as Inpefa . Lexicon laid off about 75 people in its sales and commercial teams in August “to right-size our promotional efforts around Inpefa for heart failure and reallocate resources to prepare for our potential launch” in type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, CEO Mike Exton said in a statement. Exton succeeded Lonnel Coats as CEO a month earlier. → Sarepta Therapeutics has appointed Genmab chair Deirdre Connelly to the board of directors. Connelly had a 26-year career with Eli Lilly before pivoting to GSK in 2009 as president, North America pharmaceuticals until her retirement in 2015. She’s also a board member at Macy’s and Lincoln Financial Group . Like Janet Woodcock before him, CBER Director Peter Marks helped Sarepta cross the goal line with a label expansion in June for its Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatment Elevidys — overruling his own staff and befuddling experts. → Mitchell Chan has replaced Vit Vasista as CFO of Regenxbio at a time when the company plans to start a pivotal study for its own Duchenne gene therapy. It’s another big change for Regenxbio after Ken Mills became executive chairman and Curran Simpson succeeded Mills as CEO on July 1. Chan spent a year with Catalio Capital Management as operating partner after he was elevated to the CFO post at Viela Bio. Vasista had been finance chief since 2009 and will be an advisor until Jan. 3. → Here’s a look at some CEO news that we covered earlier this week: Former Kite Pharma commercial chief Warner Biddle has succeeded Peter Maag as CEO of Kyverna Therapeutics , which also added ex-Kite CEO Christi Shaw to the board. Shares $KYTX of Kyverna have taken a precipitous fall since its $319 million IPO in February. Ochre Bio co-founder Jack O’Meara is calling it quits after five years as CEO, but he tells Lei Lei Wu that he has an Alzheimer’s startup in the works. In a LinkedIn post announcing his departure, O’Meara also said that former F-star CEO and current Levicept chief Eliot Forster will be interim executive chair. And Shilpa Sambashivan has been promoted to CEO of Nura Bio , which stapled an additional $68 million to its Series A — bringing its total to $141 million. Sambashivan was a project team lead at Amgen before becoming a founding member at Nura Bio. → Matt Kane is taking the top spot at Celyad Oncology , a Belgian biotech that has seen considerable turnover at the top. Celyad co-founder Michel Lussier filled in as interim CEO for a second time after Georges Rawadi ’s sudden exit last December; he also took over when Filippo Petti stepped down in 2022. Kane co-founded Precision BioSciences with Derek Jantz and Jeff Smith , leading the company until he joined epigenome editing startup Tune Therapeutics as CEO in 2021. Kane’s LinkedIn page indicates that he left Tune in April, a year after he hired Jantz as CSO. → Ex- Prometheus Biosciences chief Mark McKenna has found a CFO at his new I&I bet, Mirador Therapeutics . Gregg Gilbert had been a managing director in the healthcare investment banking group for Bank of America Securities since 2021 and worked at Bank of America Merrill Lynch for 15 years. After selling Prometheus and its inflammatory bowel disease drug to Merck for $10.8 billion , McKenna wasted little time getting Mirador off the ground with a $400 million Series A in March, one of the largest private financing rounds of 2024. → GLP-1 competitor Structure Therapeutics has promoted Blai Coll to CMO and welcomed Ashley Hall as chief development officer. Coll, who replaces Mark Boch , had led clinical development for Raymond Stevens ’ crew since May 2022 and was cardiovascular and metabolic platform lead, medical affairs at the end of a six-year stint with Amgen. Hall is an Amgen vet in her own right who held the role of development chief at Reneo Pharmaceuticals . Structure’s stock price soared in June $GPCR when it produced efficacy data with its oral GLP-1 GSBR-1290 that was on par with Eli Lilly’s obesity drug orforglipron . → Novartis and Gilead veteran Matthias Will has succeeded Edgar Braendle as chief development officer at Autolus Therapeutics . Will had led clinical development at CRISPR Therapeutics and CytomX before his most recent gig as CMO of Dren Bio . The FDA is expected to make a decision by Nov. 16 on Autolus’ CD19-directed CAR-T obecabtagene autoleucel , or obe-cel . → According to an SEC filing , Crinetics chief commercial officer Jim Hassard will pack his bags on Oct. 14 in what’s described as a “termination without cause.” The 17-year Amgen vet came to Crinetics from Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals in March 2022. Phase 3 successes with its acromegaly drug paltusotine have propelled Crinetics to an NDA filing “later this year” and “an expected market launch in 2025,” CEO Scott Struthers said in the San Diego biotech’s second-quarter report. CFO Mark Wilson cited personal reasons for his own upcoming departure, which was also included in Crinetics’ Q2 update. → Allosteric drug discovery shop HotSpot Therapeutics has introduced Alison O’Neill as CMO. O’Neill is the former medical chief at Surface Oncology , which was acquired by Coherus BioSciences last year for $65 million. She had a senior leadership role in the global oncology division at Sanofi and was VP of clinical development for Radius Health . → Ex- Icosavax CEO Adam Simpson has landed at Frazier Life Sciences as a venture partner on its company creation team and will work out of Frazier’s office in San Diego. Simpson sold the vaccine developer to AstraZeneca last December, and his previous company — celiac disease specialist PvP Biologics — was purchased by Takeda in 2020. → Ruben Tommasi has been named CSO of Entact Bio , a Watertown, MA-based biotech led by ex- Ribon Therapeutics CEO Victoria Richon that is developing enhancement-targeting chimeric molecules, or ENTACs. Tommasi has also held this role at Dunad Therapeutics and AstraZeneca spinout Entasis Therapeutics . Entact Bio has kept a relatively low profile since its $81 million Series A in 2022, but it did show up in Peer Review this spring when it recruited fellow Entasis vet Michael Gutch as COO. → Third Rock ’s Treg developer Abata Therapeutics has resurfaced in Peer Review for the first time in more than a year, naming Joanne Beck as chief technical officer. The Shire and Celgene alum is the ex-technical chief at Aerium Therapeutics , the Covid biotech led by Rajeev Venkayya that recently shut down because of a surge in new variants. In April 2023, Abata poached Sonoma Biotherapeutics CMO Leonard Dragone for the same role . → Led by ex- Teva R&D chief Michael Hayden , neuro biotech Prilenia has tapped Rob Lauzen as CFO and Jason Marks as chief legal officer. Lauzen was VP, investor relations and head of financial planning & analysis at Dyne Therapeutics , which made a CMO change and lost its COO and CBO earlier this month. Marks just had a short stint with Teva as a senior legal advisor to global transactions and global finance. The Bausch Health alum has also been chief legal and compliance officer at Amarin . → San Francisco eye disease biotech Ray Therapeutics has selected Christopher Whitmore as CFO. Whitmore had held the same position with Immune-Onc Therapeutics since July 2022, and he was VP, finance & administration for Harpoon Therapeutics from 2018-21. Ray Therapeutics, which hauled in a $100 million Series A last year, will test its gene therapy RTx-015 in patients with retinitis pigmentosa. → Tris Pharma has promoted VP of marketing Manesh Naidu to the role of chief commercial officer. Naidu joined the New Jersey-based company in 2023 after a stint as chief marketing officer of Althera Pharmaceutical . Naidu’s résumé also includes stints at McKinsey , Mallinckrodt , Novartis, Pfizer and Bellerophon Therapeutics . In May, Tris snagged the first liquid non-stimulant ADHD drug approval in the US. Onyda XR will be used to treat ADHD in children at least 6 years of age. → Backed by Jeff Bezos , Seattle-based Nautilus Biotechnology has named Kentaro Suzuki as chief marketing officer. Suzuki most recently served as VP and general manager of Agilent Technologies’ mass spectrometry division. Before that, he was with Takeda and Hewlett-Packard . → San Francisco-based 89bio has appointed Teresa Perney as chief regulatory and quality officer. Perney held this title at EQRx after five years with Myovant Sciences as SVP of regulatory and quality. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals finally broke through with an FDA approval for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (also referred to as NASH), and 89bio is enrolling patients for late-stage studies of pegozafermin — one for non-cirrhotic MASH and another for MASH with compensated cirrhosis. “I’m eager to leverage my experience to navigate the regulatory landscape and help bring this innovative therapy to patients worldwide,” Perney said in a statement . → There’s also a new regulatory chief at Disc Medicine : Steve Caffé spent five years with CRISPR Therapeutics as head of regulatory affairs until his departure last December. Earlier, he had numerous stops as a regulatory exec with such companies as Ra Pharmaceuticals , Sucampo Pharmaceuticals , AMAG Pharmaceuticals and MedImmune . Shares of Disc $IRON fell sharply in early April after mixed data with its drug for a rare blood disorder called erythropoietic protoporphyria, but have rebounded since. → Although AI-designed drugs haven’t exactly lived up to the hype, companies like BPGbio are trying to flip the narrative. This week, GSK alum John Beeler has joined the team as SVP of business development. Beeler comes to BPGbio from Bristol Myers Squibb , where he took on the role of business development search & evaluation lead. → Macrocycle startup Circle Pharma has brought in Marie Evangelista as SVP and head of cancer biology, and promoted Constantine Kreatsoulas to SVP and head of discovery technology sciences. Evangelista spent the last two years as VP of oncology at one of the most ambitious AI drug developers , Recursion . The longtime Genentech vet also had a brief tenure with Frontier Medicines as senior director of translation medicine. Kreatsoulas had a nine-year run at GSK and was the pharma giant’s interim head, computational toxicology before coming to Circle in 2021 as head of research and VP, research informatics and computational chemistry. Circle disclosed its $54 million Series D in an SEC filing this summer. → South San Francisco-based Ideaya Biosciences has recruited Douglas Snyder as general counsel. Snyder most recently served as chief legal officer and secretary of GW Pharmaceuticals . Earlier in his career, Snyder was general counsel and secretary at Actelion and Eisai . Back in July, Ideaya inked a $406.5 million deal with Biocytogen . → Deerfield Group has rolled out the welcome mat for two new execs: Guy Varady as EVP, integrated marketing and Bob Josefsberg as EVP, communications. Before this, Varady was SVP, management supervisor for DDB Health and held a number of roles at IPG Health and Omnicom Health Group . Meanwhile, Josefsberg was VP, corporate communications at Karuna Therapeutics and managing director at Chamberlain Healthcare Public Relations . → Tempest Therapeutics , which revealed early PFS and OS data for its liver cancer combo last October, has brought on Sheldon Mullins as VP, regulatory affairs. Mullins joins the team after gigs at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals and Ardelyx . Earlier in his career, Mullins was with Anacor Pharmaceuticals , Onyx Pharmaceuticals and Genentech. In addition to Mullins’ appointment, Darrin Bomba and Henry Johnson have been promoted to the titles of VP, development operations and VP, CMC & medicinal chemistry, respectively. → Entrada Therapeutics CEO Dipal Doshi has picked up a seat on the board of directors at āshibio , a California biotech that will push its ex-Gilead drug andecaliximab into a Phase 2/3 study for patients with an ultra-rare bone disorder called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). Āshibio came out of stealth mode this summer with a $40 million raise . → Akari Therapeutics , which is developing PAS-nomacopan for geographic atrophy, has elected former Epizyme CEO Rob Bazemore to the board of directors. Bazemore is also a board member at Ardelyx and Nuvation Bio .

Strength of clinical data presented to date support a registrational CMML study PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Immune-Onc Therapeutics, Inc. (“Immune-Onc”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing novel therapies in immunology and oncology by targeting myeloid cell inhibitory receptors, today announced the company will present additional positive interim Phase 1b expansion cohort data for IO-202 in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) at the 2024 European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting held virtually and in Madrid, Spain, June 13 – 16. CMML is a rare hematologic malignancy with poor survival outcomes, incurable with conventional therapy, and has no effective standard of care. Currently, hypomethylating agents (HMA), including azacitidine (AZA), are the only FDA-approved treatment option for CMML with only a 7-17% complete remission (CR) rate. Promising early-cycle responses, including a 53.8% (7 out of 13) CR rate (4 CR, 1 CR equivalent, and 2 CR bilineage), based on International Working Group 2023 response criteria, were observed in CMML patients treated with IO-202 in combination with AZA, with CRs lasting ten months and ongoing. The Phase 1b interim data continue to demonstrate that IO-202 is well tolerated. “Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia remains a disease with poor prognosis and risk of progression into acute myeloid leukemia (AML), resulting in a critical need for innovative medicines,” said IO-202 Phase 1b investigator Courtney DiNardo, M.D., MSCE, professor, Department of Leukemia, Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX. “We are encouraged by Phase 1b trial data showing early and sustained complete remissions among CMML patients, regardless of their prognosis or mutation status. This supports the potential of IO-202 in combination with azacitidine as a frontline therapy for CMML patients, and we are pleased to share these data with the medical community at EHA this year.” “IO-202 has favorable tolerability, a well-understood mechanism of action, and a consistent efficacy response that supports further study as a treatment option in both AML and CMML patients,” said Charlene Liao, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Immune-Onc. “We look forward to continued collaborations with our investigators and the FDA to plan and conduct our registrational study in frontline CMML patients.” Poster presentation details: Abstract Number: P792 (here) Title: Targeting LILRB4 (ILT3) Using IO-202 in Patients with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML): Interim Efficacy, Safety, and Mechanism of Action Data from the Phase 1b Expansion Cohort Presenter: Ahmed Aribi, M.D., assistant professor, Division of Leukemia, City of Hope in Duarte, CA Session Title: Myelodysplastic Syndromes – Clinical Session Date and Time: Friday, June 14, 6-7 p.m. CEST ABOUT CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (CMML) CMML is a rare form of blood cancer, occurring in 4 of every 1,000,000 people in the United States each year,1 or about 1,100 annual cases.2 CMML is characterized by a high monocyte count (>1x109/L peripheral monocytes with monocytes ≥ 10% of white blood count) and dysplastic features in the bone marrow.1 Current FDA-approved therapies for CMML are all hypomethylating agents, including azacitidine, only achieving a 7%-17% complete response rate.1 ABOUT LILRB4 (also known as ILT3) LILRB4, also known as ILT3, is an immune-modulatory transmembrane protein found on monocytes and monocyte-derived cells. LILRB4 is expressed on certain hematologic cancer cells, such as myelomonocytic leukemia blasts, and on certain pathogenic cells involved in autoimmunity and inflammatory processes. ABOUT IO-202 IO-202 is a first-in-class IgG1 antibody with specific, high-affinity binding to LILRB4 and depletes LILRB4 positive cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis. As such, IO-202 is a targeted therapy with broad potential in blood cancers and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. IO-202 has completed the dose escalation part of the first-in-human, multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study in the U.S., and the data was presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress in 2023. This Phase 1 trial has advanced to the dose expansion stage to evaluate IO-202 in combination with azacitidine (NCT04372433) in patients with newly diagnosed chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) who have not received any hypomethylating agents (HMA). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted IO-202 Fast Track Designations for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and relapsed or refractory CMML, respectively. The FDA has also granted IO-202 Orphan Drug Designations for the treatment of AML and CMML, respectively. ABOUT IMMUNE-ONC THERAPEUTICS, INC. Immune-Onc Therapeutics Inc.

Promising early responses, including 4 out of 5 efficacy evaluable patients achieving complete remission (CR), were observed in the Phase 1b expansion study of hypomethylating agents-naïve CMML patients using the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose of IO-202 in combination with azacitidine (AZA). Hypomethylating agents, including AZA, are the only FDA-approved treatment option for CMML, with only a 7-17% CR rate.1 Phase 1b interim data demonstrate that IO-202 is well tolerated in combination with azacitidine. All patients who achieved CR exhibited high baseline LILRB4 expression on bone marrow blasts, supporting the mechanism of action of IO-202 as a targeted therapy with antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis. Study enrollment is ongoing, and additional clinical data will be presented at EHA. “CMML is an incurable cancer with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. We are highly encouraged by the early complete responses seen in our evaluable patient pool,” said Charlene Liao, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Immune-Onc. “We believe that the addition of IO-202 to the standard of care treatment, such as azacitidine, has the potential to change the treatment landscape of CMML.” Poster presentation details: Abstract Number: P792 (here) Title: Targeting LILRB4 (ILT3) Using IO-202 in Patients with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML): Interim Efficacy, Safety, and Mechanism of Action Data from the Phase 1b Expansion Cohort Presenter: Ahmed Aribi, M.D., assistant professor, Division of Leukemia, City of Hope in Duarte, CA Session Title: Myelodysplastic Syndromes – Clinical Session Date and Time: Friday, June 14, 6-7 p.m. CEST ABOUT CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (CMML) CMML is a rare form of blood cancer, occurring in 4 of every 1,000,000 people in the United States each year, 1 or about 1,100 annual cases.2 CMML is characterized by the presence of a high monocyte count (>1x109/L peripheral monocytes with monocytes ≥ 10% of white blood count) along with dysplastic features in the bone marrow.1 Current FDA-approved therapies for CMML are all hypomethylating agents, including azacitidine, only achieving a 7%-17% complete response rate.1 ABOUT LILRB4 (also known as ILT3) LILRB4, also known as ILT3, is an immune-modulatory transmembrane protein found on monocytes and monocyte-derived cells.
