Expanded indication of CU06 for Immuno-Oncology Combination Therapy

Indication

Immuno-Oncology Combination Therapy

Unmet Needs

• Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been shown to be only effective against certain types of cancer such as melanoma, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and liver cancer.

• Immuno-suppression created by the abnormal TME (tumor microenvironment) vasculature cannot be modified by anti-PD-1 therapy.

• Vascular stabilization may increase the efficacy of immunotherapy by normalizing blood vessel perfusion.

Mechanism of Action

• Improves anti-PD1 delivery through normalized tumor vessels and promotes tumor apoptosis.

• Reduces hypoxia and increases CD8+ T-cell infiltration that kills tumor cells within the central region of the tumor.

• Improves tumor vascular normalization and decreases uncontrolled tumor angiogenesis.

Efficacy & Safety

• Improvement in tumor vascular normalization and hypoxia

• Enhancing the function of tumor infiltration CD8+ T cells decreases uncontrolled tumor angiogenesis

Market

• By 2025, Immuno-Oncology drugs are expected to account for $56 billion, or 25% of the total oncology drug market.

Indication

Cause

  • • TME (tumor microenvironment) is a major cause of tumor progression and treatment resistance.
    • TME changes are strongly associated with abnormalities in tumor vessels, including reduced vascular density and structurally disordered expansion.

Mechanism of Action

  • • Improves tumor vascular normalization and decreases hypoxia and vascular leakage by maintaining vessel structure.
    • Enhances the trafficking of anti-PD1 into tumor central region via normalized tumor vessels leading to the expansion of tumor infiltrated lymphocytes within central tumor region.
    • Improved TME maximizes T-cell recruitment and activation, which increases anti-tumor response.

Efficacy

Development

Ongoing Study : IL-2 agonist and CU106 combination mouse model

  • • Purpose: To investigate whether CU106 is effective in improving the side-effects of IL-2-induced vascular leak syndrome (VLS)
  • • Expected results: CU106 decreases the side effects by IL-2 agonist treatment and enhances the IL-2 induced anti-tumor
