IL-13

Pharmacokinetic data support potential best-in-class profile with potential for improved clinical responses from greater exposures in induction than currently available biologic therapies and maintenance dosing of every 3- or 6-months Single dose showed deep and sustained inhibition of key atopic dermatitis biomarkers pSTAT6 and TARC for ~3 months (longest follow-up available with inhibition still ongoing at time of data cut) APG777 was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile consistent with the anti-IL-13 class Company plans to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled, 16-week Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in 1H 2024 with induction regimen designed to exceed lebrikizumab exposures by ~30-40% and every 3- or 6- month maintenance dosing High dose concentration of 180 mg/mL will enable 44% higher dose than lebrikizumab in the same volume Management will host a webcast and conference call today at 7:00 a.m. ET SAN FRANCISCO and WALTHAM, Mass., March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apogee Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: APGE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing differentiated biologics for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and other inflammatory and immunology (I&I) indications, today announced positive interim Phase 1 data from its first-in-human study of APG777, one of its lead product candidates being developed as a frontline treatment for moderate-to-severe AD and other inflammatory diseases. Pharmacokinetic (PK) data showed a half-life of approximately 75 days across doses tested and Pharmacodynamic (PD) data showed deep and sustained inhibition of key AD biomarkers pSTAT6 and TARC for ~3 months (longest follow-up available, with inhibition still ongoing at time of the data cut). Results from the trial exceeded the Company’s trial objectives and support the potential for APG777, a novel anti-IL-13 antibody, to optimize exposure levels in 16-week induction and be dosed once every three or six months in maintenance. These findings represent the potential for improved clinical responses from greater exposures in induction and significantly less frequent dosing in maintenance compared to currently approved biologic therapies, which are dosed at every two to four weeks, a potential major advancement for patients with AD and other inflammatory diseases. APG777, in single doses up to 1,200mg and multiple doses of 300mg, was well tolerated and showed a favorable safety profile, in line with the existing body of third-party evidence for the safety of the anti-IL-13 class. Based on these data, the company plans to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate-to-severe AD in the first half of 2024 ahead of schedule. “The positive PK, PD and safety findings from our Phase 1 trial mark the first clinical data ahead of schedule from our portfolio of potentially differentiated biologics and underscore the promising potential of APG777 to offer patients a transformational therapy that could drive improved clinical responses than the current standard of care and extend dosing to every three or six months,” said Michael Henderson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apogee. “We are excited to embark on the next phase of development for APG777, with plans to initiate our Phase 2 clinical trial in the first half of this year while rapidly progressing the rest of our pipeline forward. At Apogee, we refuse to stop at good enough and are dedicated to advancing innovative solutions for patients. Today’s announcement brings us an important step closer to achieving this goal." “Currently approved therapies for atopic dermatitis and other immunology indications typically call for injections every two to four weeks, which can lead to poor treatment adherence and long-term disease control,” said Jonathan Silverberg, MD, PhD, MPH, Professor of Dermatology at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. “I am very encouraged by the initial data from this study, which demonstrate the potential for APG777 as a well-tolerated treatment with a half-life that would support less frequent injections.” “Significant unmet need remains for patients with moderate-to-severe AD, many of whom continue to have symptomatic disease on current therapies,” said Emma Guttman-Yassky, MD, PhD, the Waldman Professor of Dermatology and Immunology and Health System Chair of Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. “APG777’s Phase 2 trial will test an important hypothesis, greater inhibition of the pathway during induction, to see if improved clinical responses can be delivered for patients living with AD.” APG777 is a novel, subcutaneous extended half-life monoclonal antibody targeting IL-13 – a critical cytokine in inflammation and a primary driver of AD. In our head-to-head preclinical studies, APG777 demonstrated equivalent or better potency to lebrikizumab in the inhibition of IL-13 signaling. Based on its potentially best-in-class PK profile, APG777 has the potential for improved clinical responses from greater exposures of drug in induction and dosing as infrequently as once every three or six months. AD is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder which can lead to sleep disturbance, psychological distress, elevated infection risk and chronic pain, all of which significantly impact quality of life. Today’s treatments are associated with many challenges, including frequent injection regimens that can lead to poor patient compliance. APG777 represents the first clinical-stage product candidate from the company’s strategic collaboration with Paragon Therapeutics, Inc., an innovative discovery engine for biologics. Key Phase 1 Interim Findings The Phase 1 trial is a first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate safety and PK of APG777 in healthy volunteers. The study enrolled 40 healthy adult participants into three single-ascending dose (SAD) and two multiple-ascending dose (MAD) cohorts. Doses of subcutaneous APG777 evaluated in the study included 300mg, 600mg and 1,200mg. Detailed findings from the SAD portion and interim results from MAD portion of the Phase 1 trial are as follows: PK differentiation supports further development of APG777 as a treatment for moderate-to-severe AD and other inflammatory diseases Potentially best-in-class PK profile, including a half-life of approximately 75 days, supporting: Testing higher exposures of drug in induction to potentially achieve improved clinical responsesTesting of maintenance dosing of every 3- or 6-months, representing 2-4 injections per year compared to the current treatment paradigm of 13-26 injections per year Dose-proportional increases in serum concentrations and key parameters (e.g., Cmax, AUC) were observed in the Phase 1 trialPK was consistent across subjects with low variability Single doses of APG777 demonstrated a deep and sustained effect on PD markers for ~3 months (longest follow-up available with inhibition still ongoing at time of data cut) Single doses of APG777 suppressed pSTAT6, one of the first downstream markers of IL-13 pathway inhibition, with near-complete inhibition for ~3 monthsSingle doses of APG777 suppressed TARC, an inflammatory mediator and the most strongly correlated biomarker to AD severity, with deep and sustained inhibition for ~3 months Well tolerated across all dose groups. Single doses of APG777 up to 1,200mg and multiple doses of 300 mg were well tolerated with a favorable safety profile consistent with the existing third-party data supporting the safety of the anti-IL-13 class. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were vascular access site pain, vessel puncture site bruise, headache, and vascular access bruising 60% of participants observed at least one TEAE; 15% of participants observed at least one drug-related AE There were no Grade 3 TEAEs or severe adverse events (SAEs). No AEs led to study discontinuation “The interim results from this Phase 1 trial are tremendously encouraging for APG777’s potential to meaningfully improve the standard of care for patients with moderate-to-severe AD. On behalf of the entire Apogee team, I’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers, investigator, and the study team for their support in the successful execution of this important trial,” said Carl Dambkowski, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Apogee Therapeutics. “We look forward to rapidly advancing APG777 into Phase 2 clinical trials in AD and other inflammatory conditions.” Phase 2 trial in AD Following today’s positive interim results, Apogee plans to advance APG777 into a randomized, placebo-controlled, 16-week Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Phase 2 AD trial is expected to initiate in the 1H of 2024 with 16-week topline data from Part A expected in 2H 2025 Part A is expected to enroll approximately 110 patients randomized 2:1 to APG777 vs placebo with primary endpoint of mean percentage changes in EASI score from baseline to Week 16Part B of the Phase 2 trial is a randomized, placebo-controlled dose optimization with approximately 360 patients randomized 1:1:1:1 to high, medium, or low dose APG777 vs placebo with primary endpoint of mean percentage changes in EASI score from baseline to Week 16All patients benefiting from treatment will continue to APG777 maintenance, which will evaluate 3- to 6-month dosing Integrated design expected to provide for significant timeline acceleration by combining Ph2a and Ph2b elements into a single study protocol All Part A sites are also expected to participate in Part B, avoiding delays for site startup between the two parts Doses in the Phase 2 trial are enabled by APG777’s potentially best-in-class PK profile, extended half-life, and high-concentration formulation 180 mg/mL formulation enables 44% higher dose of APG777 vs lebrikizumab in the same volume APG777 Phase 2 induction regimen is designed to exceed lebrikizumab (an IL-13 inhibitor with an overlapping epitope with APG777) exposures by ~30 to 40% with potential for improved clinical responses and maintenance regimen is designed to equal lebrikizumab’s exposures In Phase 3 studies, ~30% higher exposure seen in lebrikizumab low bodyweight group resulted in numerically higher efficacy than the overall study population across all key endpoints, including EASI-75 and more stringent endpoints such as EASI-90 and IGA 0/1~30-40% higher induction exposures for APG777 than lebrikizumab are based on a planned six injection induction regimen given in the first sixteen weeks of APG777 treatment. This is approximately half as many of the 11 injections of lebrikizumab given during the same periodAt 52 weeks, exposures of APG777 dosed every three months are designed to exceed those of lebrikizumab and exposures of APG777 dosed every six months are designed to equal those of lebrikizumab Conference Call and Webcast Apogee will host a conference call and webcast today, March 5, 2024, at 7:00 a.m. ET to discuss the APG777 Phase 1 interim results. A live webcast of the call will be available on the Investor Relations page of Apogee’s website at https://investors.apogeetherapeutics.com/news-events/events. The webcast will be made available for replay on the company's website following completion of the event.

Shares of Apogee Pharmaceuticals surged 42% Tuesday after the drugmaker said interim Phase I data for its IL-13 inhibitor suggested it could be effective at treating atopic dermatitis using a maintenance dosing schedule of every three- or six-month injections. The company plans to start a Phase II trial this half in patients with moderate to severe disease.The candidate, APG777, is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) for inflammatory diseases designed to have a longer half-life and enable two to four yearly injections, while dosing regimens for currently approved biologics require 13 to 26 injections per year.The Phase I trial enrolled 40 healthy adults to receive either 300mg, 600mg, or 1200mg doses of APG777. Pharmacokinetic data suggest the mAb has a half-life of about 75 days, and that a single dose can lead to a sustained inhibition of two key atopic dermatitis biomarkers – pSTAT6 and TARC – for at least three months, which is the longest follow-up data available. The ascending doses were well-tolerated, with no severe adverse events or study discontinuations due to side effects. Best-in-class prospectsApogee said the data thus far suggests APG777 could be a potentially best-in-class IL-13 inhibitor and offer more favourable dosing than that of lebrikizumab from Eil Lilly, which already has physicians excited for its once-monthly injections and standard of care-comparable efficacy. For more, see Physician Views Results: Dermatologists see lebrikizumab's four-week dosing as an important value-add.Lebrikizumab was approved by the European Commission in November as Ebglyss to treat patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, but the FDA issued a complete response letter in October, citing issues at a third-party contract manufacturing organisation.Almirall has rights to the IL-13-targeting mAb in Europe after licensing them from Eli Lilly, which itself gained the drug through its $1.1-billion takeover of Dermira in 2020. In Apogee’s head-to-head preclinical studies, APG777 demonstrated equivalent or better inhibition of IL-13 signalling compared with lebrikizumab. For the randomised, placebo-controlled Phase II study, Apogee expects to administer six injections of APG777 during the 16-week induction period, whereas lebrikizumab requires 11 over the same period. The company will then test a maintenance dosing schedule of every three- or six-month injections.Topline data for the trial are expected in the second half of 2025.

Positive interim results from APG777 Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial exceeded objectives withapproximately 75-day half-life which supports the potential for higher exposures leading to potential for improved clinical responses in induction than currently available biologic therapies and the potential for maintenance dosing of every 3- or 6-months APG777 Phase 1 interim data support advancement of a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in 1H 2024 ahead of schedule Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial set to start ahead of schedule for APG808, a subcutaneous extended half-life antibody targeting IL-4Rα, following receipt of regulatory clearance in February Total cash of $395.5 million at year end 2023 with expected cash runway into 4Q 2026 SAN FRANCISCO and WALTHAM, Mass., March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apogee Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: APGE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing differentiated biologics for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma and other inflammatory and immunology (I&I) indications, today reported pipeline highlights and fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results. “2023 was a momentous year for Apogee with the completion of a successful IPO, initiation of our first clinical program of APG777 in healthy volunteers and the nomination of our second pipeline candidate, APG808,” said Michael Henderson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apogee. “Our momentum and track record of execution have continued in 2024, and we were thrilled to disclose positive interim results from our Phase 1 trial of APG777 today, which demonstrated a favorable safety pro exceeded our trial objectives on both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This data readout is a key risk-reducing milestone for our APG777 program and pipeline and supports a path forward into a Phase 2 trial for APG777 in patients with AD in the first half of this year. Looking ahead to the rest of the year, we continue to make progress with APG808, for which we are set to start a Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial ahead of schedule while advancing our earlier programs, APG990 and APG222. With each of our programs, we have the potential to reshape the standard of care with potential best-in-class or first-in-class therapeutic candidates for I&I diseases.” Pipeline Highlights and Upcoming Milestones Positive, interim Phase 1 results for APG777 exceeded trial objectives and delivered ahead of schedule: APG777 is a novel, subcutaneous (SQ) extended half-life monoclonal antibody targeting IL-13 – a critical cytokine in inflammation and a primary driver of AD. Today, the company reported positive interim results in the Phase 1 first-in-human study of APG777, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single-ascending and multiple-ascending doses of APG777 in healthy volunteers. Key findings from the study include: Potentially best-in-class PK profile, including a half-life of approximately 75 days, supporting: Testing higher exposures of drug in induction to potentially achieve improved clinical responses Testing of maintenance dosing of every 3- or 6-months, representing 2-4 injections per year compared to the current treatment paradigm of 13-26 injections per year Single doses of APG777 showed deep and sustained effect on key AD biomarkers pSTAT6 and TARC for approximately 3 months (longest follow-up available with inhibition still ongoing at the time of the data cut APG777 was well tolerated across all dose groups with a favorable safety pro with the anti-IL-13 class Based on these data, Apogee plans to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate-to-severe AD in the first half of 2024; modeled induction and maintenance dosing for the Phase 2 trial suggests APG777 could reach exposures approximately 30-40% greater than lebrikizumab in induction and potentially enable every 3- or 6- month maintenance dosing 16-week proof-of-concept data from this Phase 2 trial is expected in second half of 2025 Apogee also plans to evaluate APG777 in expansion indications including initiating a Phase 2 trial in asthma in 2025 Phase 1 APG808 healthy volunteer clinical trial set to start ahead of schedule: Apogee’s second program, APG808, is novel, SQ extended half-life mAb targeting IL-4Rα, a target with clinical validation across eight Type 2 allergic diseases. APG808 has similar binding and femtomolar affinity for IL-4Rα as compared to a first generation mAb, DUPIXENT, and has demonstrated similar inhibition to DUPIXENT across three in vitro assays which measure downstream functional inhibition of the IL-13/IL-4 pathway (pSTAT6 induction, inhibition of TF-1 proliferation, and inhibition of TARC secretion). An APG808 Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial is expected to start ahead of schedule following receipt of regulatory clearance in February and will be followed by a potential Phase 1b trial in asthma and a Phase 2 trial in COPD (pending data from the Phase 1 trial). Key milestones in 2024 and 2025 include: Interim Phase 1 PK and safety in healthy volunteers expected in 2H 2024, ahead of prior guidance Initial proof-of-concept data in asthma expected 1H 2025 Proof-of-concept clinical trial in patients with COPD expected to initiate in 2025, pending positive data from Phase 1 trial and regulatory clearance Early-stage programs progressing to candidate selection: Apogee’s earlier-stage programs, APG990 and APG222, utilize advanced antibody engineering to target OX40L and both IL-13 and OX40L, respectively, and are initially being developed for the treatment of AD. OX40L is located further upstream in the inflammatory pathway than IL-13 or IL-4Rα and targeting it could potentially have broader impact on the inflammatory cascade. With current approved biologics only targeting two mechanisms of action (IL-13 and IL4Rα) in AD, OX40L could represent another therapeutic option for patients, especially the portion of patients who do not benefit from currently available treatments. Candidate nomination for APG990 anticipated in 2024 and Phase 1 initiation in healthy volunteers in 2025 Apogee plans to provide more detailed updates on its earlier pipeline programs and combination strategy in an R&D Day in Q4 2024 to support its vision of future I&I therapeutics Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $395.5 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $151.9 million as of December 31, 2022. Based on current operating plans, Apogee expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable the company to fund its operating expenses into 4Q 2026. R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $29.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and $68.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $12.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and $27.8 million for the period from February 4, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2022. R&D expenses increased primarily due to further development of Apogee’s APG777 and APG808 programs and advancement of its pipeline, as well as increases in personnel costs, including equity-based compensation expense, associated with the growth of its R&D team. G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $8.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and $2.9 million for the period from February 4, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2022. G&A expenses increased primarily due to increases in personnel costs, including equity-based compensation, and legal and professional services, all of which were the result of the expansion of Apogee’s operations to support the growth in its business and the cost of operating as a public company. Net Loss: Net loss was $31.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and $84.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $14.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and $39.8 million for the period from February 4, 2022 (inception) to December 31, 2022. Net loss increased primarily as a result of higher R&D and G&A operating expenses as described above, partially offset by higher interest income.
