Preparations for submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for Cylembio® (imsapepimut and etimupepimut, adjuvanted) to FDA by year end 2025 remain on track. The trial completed enrollment in December 2023 ahead of plan with 407 patients. The primary endpoint of the pivotal Phase 3 trial is progression free survival (PFS); the rate of PFS events has slowed and the readout of the primary endpoint is now expected in the third quarter of 2025 Enrollment completed ahead of schedule in Phase 2 basket trial of Cylembio as neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment for patients with resectable melanoma or head and neck cancer; initial data anticipated in the second half of 2025 Cash and cash equivalents at the end of fourth quarter of 2024 of approximately $60.0 million; secured up to €57.5 million in debt financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB); the company expects that the capital drawn from the three committed tranches of the EIB debt facility will extend cash runway into the second quarter of 2026 Presentation at TD Cowen’s 45th Annual Health Care Conference on March 5, 2025 NEW YORK, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IO Biotech (Nasdaq: IOBT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, immune-modulatory, off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer vaccines, today reported business highlights for the fourth quarter of 2024. “We accomplished significant milestones in 2024 as we continue to rapidly advance our clinical programs investigating the benefits of Cylembio for the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma, metastatic head and neck cancer, and metastatic lung cancer,” said Mai-Britt Zocca, PhD, President and CEO of IO Biotech. “With the primary endpoint readout of our pivotal Phase 3 trial investigating Cylembio in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with advanced melanoma now expected in the third quarter, we expect 2025 could be an exciting year for IO Biotech. Pending positive data, we expect to submit a BLA to the US FDA by the end of the year and a potential launch in the US in 2026.” Dr. Zocca continued, “There is still a significant unmet medical need for new treatment options for patients suffering from advanced melanoma, metastatic head and neck cancer, and metastatic lung cancer. The full IO Biotech team is proud to be leading the next frontier of immune-oncology with the development of therapeutic cancer vaccines for these and other difficult-to-treat cancers. Our investigational therapeutic cancer vaccines are designed with a unique mechanism of action capable of targeting both immune-suppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cancer cells, which have demonstrated promising activity when combined with an anti-PD-1 therapy. We look forward to potentially commercializing a first-in-class immune-modulatory, off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer vaccine that could be delivered to cancer patients when treatment is needed.” Upcoming Investor Conferences Cowen’s 45th Annual Health Care Conference: March 5, 2025 Fourth Quarter 2024 and other Recent Highlights The company’s Phase 3 pivotal trial (IOB-013/KN-D18), which is evaluating Cylembio® (imsapepimut and etimupepimut, adjuvanted), its investigational therapeutic cancer vaccine, in combination with Merck’s (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in advanced melanoma, is ongoing with full enrollment of 407 patients reached in December 2023. The primary endpoint of the Phase 3 trial is progression free survival (PFS); the rate of PFS events has slowed in the study, and as such, the company now expects the readout of the PFS primary endpoint in third quarter of 2025. The company continues to plan to submit a BLA to the FDA in 2025 for Cylembio and, subject to FDA approval, launch its first therapeutic cancer vaccine in the US in 2026 for patients with advanced melanoma. The company continues to progress clinical development of Cylembio in its perioperative Phase 2 solid tumor basket trial (IOB-032/PN-E40) studying treatment with Cylembio in combination with pembrolizumab in earlier stage disease, with enrollment completed ahead of schedule with 95 patients. In this trial, patients with resectable melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) are dosed before (neo-adjuvant) and after (adjuvant) surgery with curative intent. The company expects initial data from this trial in the second half of 2025. Building on the body of clinical evidence for Cylembio, the company announced that the primary endpoint of overall response rate (ORR) was met, along with encouraging PFS data, from its Phase 2 basket trial IOB-022/KN-D38 investigating Cylembio given in combination with pembrolizumab as first-line treatment for SCCHN. Additionally, promising activity demonstrated in the first-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with approximately half of patients having no disease progression at 12 months. The safety profiles in both cohorts were consistent with prior studies on the combination of Cylembio with checkpoint inhibitors and no significant added systemic toxicities compared to an anti-PD1 monotherapy. Patients in this basket trial will continue to be followed, with longer-term data expected in the second half of 2025. The company adopted Cylembio (imsapepimut and etimupepimut, adjuvant) as the US brand name for its IO102-IO103 lead investigational therapeutic cancer vaccine. New preclinical data for IO112, the company’s second immune-modulatory therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate targeting Arginase-1, was published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer. The company plans to submit an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for IO112 to the FDA in 2025. In December, the company secured up to €57.5 million in debt financing from the European Investment Bank to support the continued development of its portfolio generated from its T-Win® platform as well as pre-commercialization efforts for Cylembio. The debt facility includes three committed tranches totaling up to €37.5 million, which will become available if the company satisfies certain conditions, and one uncommitted accordion tranche of €20 million. About Cylembio® Cylembio® (imsapepimut and etimupepimut, adjuvanted) is an investigational, immune-modulatory, off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate designed to kill both tumor cells and immune-suppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) by stimulating activation and expansion of T cells against indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) positive and/or programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive cells. The company is currently conducting a pivotal Phase 3 trial (IOB-013/KN-D18; NCT05155254) investigating Cylembio in combination with Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) versus pembrolizumab alone in patients with advanced melanoma, a Phase 2 basket trial (IOB-022/KN-D38; NCT05077709) investigating Cylembio in combination with pembrolizumab as first line treatment in patients with advanced solid tumors, and a Phase 2 basket trial (IOB-032/PN-E40; NCT05280314) investigating Cylembio in combination with pembrolizumab as neo-adjuvant/adjuvant treatment of patients with solid tumors.

– Submission of Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to US FDA expected in 2025 – NEW YORK, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IO Biotech (Nasdaq: IOBT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, immune-modulatory, off-the-shelf therapeutic cancer vaccines, today announced the publication of results from a preclinical study of its second immune-modulatory therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate, IO112, targeting arginase 1 (Arg1), in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer. These preclinical data further expand upon previously reported data that IO112 treatment inhibits tumor growth through dynamic changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The present study showed how Arg1-specific T cells expanded by the vaccine enhance anti-tumor immunity by reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and promote a proinflammatory TME. Arg1 plays a central role in immune suppression, and its overexpression has been reported in several cancers. “Arg1-expressing TAMs remain a major hurdle in cancer immunotherapy due to their role in creating an immunosuppressive TME,” said Ayako Wakatsuki Pedersen, PhD, Senior Vice President of Translational Research at IO Biotech. “TAMs represent one of the most abundant immune cell subsets found within the TME and it’s really exciting to learn that IO112 treatment directly impacts TAMs, changing the phenotype of TAMs completely. These findings further support the continued clinical development of Arg1-based immune-modulatory vaccines.” “These data published in the Journal of ImmunoTherapy of Cancer add to the strong body of evidence that the unique approach of our T-win® platform, designed to kill both tumor cells and immune-suppressive cells in the TME, could potentially change the treatment paradigm in the management of a number of cancers,” said Mai-Britt Zocca, Ph.D., President and CEO of IO Biotech. “We look forward to submitting an IND for IO112 in 2025 and advancing into clinical development as part of our commitment to transform the treatment of cancer patients.” About IO112 IO112 is the company’s fully-owned, novel investigational product candidate containing a single Arginase 1-derived peptide designed to engage and activate Arginase 1-specific human T cells. IO112 is designed to target T cells that recognize epitopes derived from Arginase 1, which is an immunoregulatory enzyme highly expressed in difficult-to-treat tumors associated with high levels of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) including renal cell carcinoma, head and neck, breast, pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal and prostate cancers. Arginase overexpression is a well-documented tumor escape mechanism. IO112 has been studied in a single arm first-in-human Phase 1 trial in patients with arginase-positive solid tumors, conducted in an investigator-initiated trial at the University of Copenhagen. The company anticipates filing an IND for IO112 in 2025.

-- Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated in the first line setting with IO102-IO103 in combination with Keytruda® demonstrated promising activity with an overall response rate of 55% unconfirmed/48% confirmed, disease control rate of 81%, and approximately 50% of patients without disease progression at 12 months; median duration of response not reached -- -- Safety profile consistent with prior studies with the combination, showing no unexpected toxicities compared to anti-PD1 monotherapy, and low-grade transient injection site reactions as the most common treatment related adverse event -- -- The data from this NSCLC cohort combined with the recent positive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cohort data presented at ESMO 2024 and previously reported positive Phase 1/2 study in melanoma demonstrate the potential of IO102-I0103 to be effective in broad patient populations -- -- Pre-clinical data for IO Biotech’s second T-win vaccine candidate, IO112 targeting arginase 1, demonstrates anti-tumor activity with dynamic changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) driven by the vaccine-targeted modulation of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) -- -- Data presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s Annual Meeting -- Nov. 07, 2024 -- IO Biotech (Nasdaq: IOBT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, off-the-shelf, immune modulating therapeutic cancer vaccines, announced data from the NSCLC cohort in the company’s Phase 2 basket trial of IO102-IO103, the company’s lead investigational candidate, given in combination with Merck’s (known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) (IOB-022/KN-D38). These data, as well as new pre-clinical data from IO Biotech’s second vaccine candidate, IO112, will be presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s 39th Annual Meeting (SITC 2024) in Houston on November 8-10, 2024. “These data build on the growing clinical evidence for IO102-IO103 in hard-to-treat cancers. These Phase 2 NSCLC data evaluating IO102-IO103 in combination with pembrolizumab demonstrated a positive trend in ORR compared to benchmark data in the evaluable patient population with no unexpected toxicity,” stated Jonathan Riess, MD, principal investigator of the trial and Director, Thoracic Oncology at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. “We need new treatments that can extend the durability of response for lung cancer patients. No progression in nearly half of the patients in this study at 12 months is a positive signal.” The presentation contains clinical and biomarker data from the fully enrolled cohort of patients (n=37) with previously untreated metastatic stage NSCLC with PD-L1 high TPS ≥ 50. The data from 31 efficacy evaluable patients demonstrated: A 55% unconfirmed (16 partial responses, 1 complete response), 48% confirmed overall response rate (ORR) in a PD-L1 high population of patients with NSCLC An 81% disease control rate (DCR) No disease progression at 12 months in approximately 50% of patients An encouraging 8.1-month median progression-free survival (PFS) Median duration of response (DOR) not yet reached A safety profile consistent with previously reported data when combining IO102-IO103 with anti-PD-1 monotherapy Vaccine-specific T cell responses to both IO102 (IDO1) and IO103 (PD-L1) were detected in patients on treatment “The results of the combination of IO102-IO103 with the anti-PD-1 therapy pembrolizumab in the NSCLC cohort, combined with the promising data presented at ESMO for the SCCHN cohort and the previous Phase 1/2 data in melanoma, add to the body of evidence that our dual-approach of targeting tumor cells and immune suppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment may drive a meaningful clinical benefit across a range of hard-to-treat cancers,” said Qasim Ahmad, MD, Chief Medical Officer of IO Biotech. “Importantly, we are observing promising activity with no unexpected toxicity and safety concerns, which addresses a high unmet medical need and an important gap in current treatment options for patients.” To date, the safety profile observed in this study (IOB-022/KN-D38) is consistent with prior studies of IO102-IO103 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors, with no unexpected systemic toxicity compared to anti-PD-1 monotherapy and low-grade transient injection site reactions reported as the most common treatment related adverse events​. Data from the squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cohort of this study were presented at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology congress in September that demonstrated the cohort met its primary endpoint of ORR with encouraging PFS data. Pre-clinical data from IO112, IO Biotech’s second therapeutic cancer vaccine candidate derived from the company’s T-win® platform, also presented at SITC 2024 Arginase 1 (Arg1) plays a central role in immune suppression, and its overexpression has been reported in several cancers including renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and head and neck cancer. Importantly, all immune suppressive myeloid cells in the TME express Arg1, and their key roles in cancer immune resistance mechanisms have been well described. The data presented in the poster showcase that IO112 vaccination leads to robust expansion of Arg1-specific T cells, which in turn directly target and reprogram immune suppressive TAMs, leading to tumor growth inhibition. “Our present data confirm the hypothesis that the primary and direct target of IO112 treatment are TAMs – and, what is striking, is how dynamically the vaccine-induced T cells are impacting TAMs,” said Ayako Wakatsuki Pedersen, PhD, Senior Vice President of Translational Research at IO Biotech. “Treatment with IO112 results in TAMs changing their phenotype completely, from immune suppressive to highly pro-inflammatory, driving the modulation of the TME, and facilitating the immune attack on tumor cells. These data give us further confidence in our T-win® platform, a unique approach to induce a proinflammatory and anti-tumorigenic TME via T cells that attack the primary drivers of immune suppression. This strong data adds to the rationale for IO112 clinical development, and we look forward to submitting an IND for IO112 in 2025.” The posters can be found on the “Posters & Publications” page of the IO Biotech website.
