Active Biotech Receive Milestone Payment From Neotx
Active Biotech AB (publ) today announce a milestone payment of USD 750 000 from the partner NeoTX Therapeutics (NeoTX) under the terms of license agreement on the immunotherapy naptumomab.

Based on preclinical data and the previous clinical experience of naptumomab, a phase Ib/II study in patients with advanced solid tumors was initiated by NeoTX, in cooperation with AstraZeneca, in 2019. The study is currently ongoing, and the results from the dose escalation part of the study are expected early next year. NeoTX plans to expand the clinical program in the combination of naptumomab and durvalumab with focus on indications in so-called “cold tumors” with poor response to checkpoint inhibition alone, as well as evalutate further combination strategies such as the combination with docetaxel.

About the agreement
In 2016, Active Biotech and NeoTX  entered into a partnership for the development and commercialization of naptumomab in cancer indications. Under the terms of the agreement, Active Biotech has granted NeoTX exclusive rights to develop and commercialize naptumomab worldwide in cancer indications. The total deal value amounts to USD 71 million and is contingent upon achievement of clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones whereof Active Biotech has received so far USD 250 000.  In addition, NeoTX will pay Active Biotech progressive, double-digit royalties on its net sales of naptumomab.

"Active Biotech: Tasquinimod clinical  development in multiple myeloma advances into combination therapy following completion of the initial phase of the ongoing trial in the US

Lund Sweden, October 3, 2021 - Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announces that the ongoing trial of tasquinimod in multiple myeloma has reached an important milestone. Ten patients have been treated with increasing doses of tasquinimod, which was generally well tolerated. The optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod, when used as a single agent in patients with multiple myeloma has been established at 1 mg per day after a one-week run in of 0.5 mg daily. This is similar to the treatment schedule used in previous studies of tasquinimod.
The trial will now advance to a previously planned combination part, in which treatment with tasquinimod will be tested in patients with multiple myeloma together with the orally administered antimyeloma agents ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd). Once an optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod for the IRd combination is established, an expansion cohort will be recruited to further document the biological activity of tasquinimod in myeloma patients. Key secondary endpoints will include antimyeloma activity using the response criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group...."

Data on naptumomab estafenatox enhancing CAR-T cells potency presented by Active Biotech’s partner NeoTX at SITC 2021
November 30, 2021 15:00 (CET)

Lund, Sweden — November 30, 2021 – Active Biotech and its partner NeoTX announced that the preclinical data on naptumomab enhancing the potency of CAR-T cells was presented on Nov 12th at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 36th Annual Meeting at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.

Clinical CAR-T therapy currently has limited efficacy against solid tumors due to low trafficking to the tumor, limited cell expansion in patients, tumor antigen heterogeneity, and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. The presented data shows that naptumomab generates more potent CAR-T cells and acts synergistically against tumor cell lines in vitro.

The ability of naptumomab to activate T cells outside of the immunosuppressive microenvironment, promote T cell infiltration into the tumor and induce long-term memory responses strongly suggests that the combination of CAR-T cells with naptumomab may overcome the limited effect of CAR-T therapy against solid tumors.

Conclusion;
Our studies show that NAP generates more potent CAR-T cells and acts
synergistically with CAR-T against tumor cell lines in vitro. The ability of
NAP administration to activate T cells outside of the immunosuppressive
microenvironment (in the lymphoid organs), promote T cell infiltration into
the tumor and induce long-term memory responses, strongly suggests that
combination of CAR-T cells with NAP may overcome the limited effect of
CAR-T therapy against solid tumors. NAP is currently being evaluated in
clinical studies in combination with durvalumab [NCT03983954] and
docetaxel [NCT04880863]
 

"First subject dosed in phase I clinical study with eye-drop formulation of laquinimod  
December 10, 2021 08:30 (CET)
https://www.activebiotech.com/en/media/pressreleases/?id=2349825
Lund, December 10, 2021 - Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announced that the first subject has been dosed in the phase I clinical study of the newly developed eye-drop formulation of the company’s candidate drug laquinimod.

Laquinimod is being developed as a new treatment for non-infectious non-anterior uveitis and has the potential to be used in the first line treatment as an add-on to steroids as well as in the second line treatment for patients that have failed steroid treatment.

Preclinical data suggest that laquinimod may influence inflammatory eye diseases when given both as a tablet and directly onto the eye. Active Biotech has developed an eye-drop formulation of laquinimod with the aim to use it for the treatment of inflammatory eye diseases, initially in patients with non-infectious non-anterior uveitis. These are patients who lack sufficiently effective and safe treatments and in addition, there is currently no eye-drop treatment available.

A preclinical program shows that the laquinimod eye-drop is safe and well tolerated, and the safety of this new formulation will now be tested in a phase I clinical study in healthy subjects. The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of laquinimod eye-drops after single and repeat doses. Secondary endpoints include eye toxicity and pharmacokinetics.

I am happy to report that we have initiated the clinical development of the new formulation of laquinimod and I look forward to review the results from this initial safety study. Laquinimod has the potential to be used in the treatment of serious eye diseases, which is underscored by preclinical data. In the next step we will continue the clinical investigation of laquinimod in patients with uveitis, with the goal to provide a new treatment to this sight-threatening eye disease” said Helén Tuvesson, CEO of Active Biotech."

https://www.activebiotech.com/en/...-tasquinimod-in-multiple-myeloma/
Lund Sweden, February 7, 2022 – Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the combination part of the phase Ib/IIa clinical study of tasquinimod in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In this part of the study treatment with tasquinimod will be tested together with the orally administered antimyeloma agents ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd).

Once an optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod for the IRd combination is established, an expansion cohort will be recruited to further document the biological activity of tasquinimod in myeloma patients. Key secondary endpoints will include antimyeloma activity using the response criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group.

As previously communicated, the optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod, when used as a single agent in patients with multiple myeloma, was established at 1 mg per day after a one-week run in of 0.5 mg daily. Tasquinimod was generally well tolerated and the established treatment schedule and safety profile of tasquiniomod in myeloma patients resembled that previously demonstrated in solid tumors.

The study is conducted in an academic partnership with the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, with Dr. Dan Vogl as principal investigator. Detailed information about the study is available on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04405167).

“We are pleased to have enrolled the first patient to the combination part of the study where tasquinimod will be combined with a standard anti-myeloma treatment regimen. Our preclinical laboratory models suggest that this combination strategy may be a particularly effective way to utilize tasquinimod in myeloma therapy,” said Dr. Dan Vogl, Principal Investigator.

“The use of tasquinimod in combination with treatments used for earlier stage patients, is aligned with our current understanding of the mode of action of tasquinimod being able to block tumor sustaining signals from the bone marrow microenvironment. We are enthusiastic to follow the progress of the study ” said Helén Tuvesson, CEO, Active Biotech AB.
