- 10 of 12 patients treated in HER2 expressing solid tumor Phase
1b trial were breast cancer patients
- Dose selected for ongoing Phase 2b clinical trial in
Osteosarcoma was shown to be well tolerated in breast cancer
patients
- Preclinical breast cancer efficacy models showed positive data
to prevent breast cancer metastases to the brain, reduce tumor
growth by over 90% in combination with HER2-targeted antibodies,
and prevent the formation of breast cancer compared with
controls
OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX), a
clinical-stage oncology-focused immunotherapy company developing
cancer vaccines and antibody drug conjugate (ADC) therapeutic
candidates, today announced positive data from a Phase 1 clinical
trial of OST-HER2 in patients with HER2-expressing solid tumors in
breast cancer and other cancers. Additionally, the Company
announced positive preclinical efficacy data for OST-HER2 in
multiple models of breast cancer.
The FDA has granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD),
Orphan Drug Designation (ODD), and Fast Track Designation (FTD) for
OST-HER2 in Osteosarcoma. OST-HER2, a biologic therapeutic
candidate, is a Lm (Listeria monocytogenes) vector-based
off-the-shelf immunotherapeutic vaccine designed to prevent
metastasis, delay recurrence, and increase overall survival in
patients with osteosarcoma and other solid tumors. The proposed
OST-HER2 mechanism of action is based on innate and adaptive immune
stimulating responses activated by the Lm vector. This treatment
generates T cells that can eliminate or slow potential
micrometastases that can grow into recurrent osteosarcoma and other
solid tumors, including breast cancer. T cell responses home in on
HER2 expressed by the tumor and then kill the cell, releasing
additional tumor targets. There are currently no approved adjuvant
treatments for recurrent osteosarcoma in the United States.
A total of twelve (12) patients with a history of HER2 positive
cancer were enrolled in the Phase 1b clinical study, comprised of
ten (10) patients with breast cancer, one (1) patient with
esophageal cancer and one (1) patient with GE junction cancer.
OST-HER2 was determined to be safe and well tolerated in patients
with HER2-expressing solid tumors, including at the dose currently
being used in the Company’s ongoing Phase 2b clinical trial in
recurrent, resected osteosarcoma (AOST-2121, NCT04974008). The
Company previously announced positive AOST-2121 interim data and is
now in active discussions with the US FDA regarding a Breakthrough
Therapy (BTD) designation application submitted for OST-HER2 based
on the interim results. The Company is focused on approval for
OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma, and thereafter plans to expand
development into breast cancer and other HER2 expressing cancers
such as esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer.
In addition, the Company announced positive data from multiple
preclinical models of breast cancer. The key data for OST-HER2
include:
- 78% reduction in tumor size (3mm for OST-HER2 treated vs. 14mm
for control arm) in FVB/N HER2 transgenic mouse model of breast
cancer treatment at day 75
- 33% prevention of breast cancer in OST-HER2 treated mice vs. 0%
prevention of breast cancer in FVB/N HER2 transgenic model of
breast cancer prevention at week 50
- 20% reduction of tumor size for OST-HER2 plus HER2-targeted
antibody vs. HER2-targeted antibody alone Tg tumor regression model
of breast cancer at day 42
- 65% reduction cellular concentration of metastatic cells for
OST-HER2-treated mice compared with controls in brain metastasis
model of primary breast cancer
About OS Therapies
OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX) is a clinical stage oncology
company focused on the identification, development and
commercialization of treatments for Osteosarcoma (OS) and other
solid tumors. OST-HER2 is an immunotherapy leveraging the immune
stimulatory effects of Listeria bacteria to initiate a strong
immune response targeting the HER2 protein. The Company has
fully-enrolled a 41-patient Phase 2b clinical trial of OST-HER2 in
resected, recurrent osteosarcoma, with results expected in the
fourth quarter of 2024. OST-HER2 has also completed a Phase 1b
clinical trial in other solid tumors and has demonstrated efficacy
in multiple preclinical models of breast cancer. OS Therapies is
also developing the next generations Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC)
platform tunable ADC (tADC) centered around tunable, tailored
antibody-linker-payload candidates built around the Company’s
unique silicone linker technology that allows for multiple payloads
to be delivered per linker.
About OST-HER2
The OST-HER2 Lm vector platform technology has been administered
to over 450 cancer patients in ongoing and completed clinical
trials. AOST-2121 is a Phase IIB clinical trial intended to prevent
or delay metastasis and improve Overall Survival (OS) in
Osteosarcoma. OST-HER2 has already received Fast-Track, Orphan, and
Rare Disease Designation (RDD). OST hopes to seek a Break-Through
Designation (BTD) based on data from this Phase IIb clinical trial.
OST31-164 has previously received USDA provisional approval for
treatment of Osteosarcoma in canines. In a completed Phase III
study in canines (n=180), early data demonstrated a clear
separation of treated and untreated canine patients (p=.0007) in
Overall Survival (OS) and Disease Progression.
