Ivosidenib, a small-molecule inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), has a PDUFA date of August 21. An approval would bring the first targeted treatment to relapsed or refractory AML patients who havean IDH1 mutation. The mutant enzyme IDH1 is found in various tumour types, including gliomas,sarcomas and haematological malignancies such as AML. Although IDH1 mutations are estimated to occurin only 6–10% of AML patients, they are associated with poor disease prognosis. Clinical data supportingthe application demonstrate an overall response rate of 41.6%, with durable remission rates (30.4% ofpatients had a complete remission or complete remission with haematological recovery, including 21.6%who had a complete remission), as well as favourable transfusion independence rates that were achievedacross multiple response categories. These results validate the benefit of targeting IDH1, establishingivosidenib as part of a wave of new, targeted therapies for the treatment of AML. For the 8–19% of AMLpatients who carry IDH2 mutations, Agios has already introduced a new treatment paradigm with theIDH2 inhibitor enasidenib (Idhifa), which was approved by the FDA last year. Both drugs highlight thecompany’s rapidly developed portfolio of compounds that target cancer cell metabolism. Furthermore,Agios is developing AG-881, an orally available, potent inhibitor of both IDH1 and IDH2, currently in PhaseI testing for glioma. Datamonitor Healthcare is forecasting sales of ivosidenib for AML across the US,Japan and five major EU markets will reach $86 million by 2025.

RHB-104 is an oral antibiotic combination therapy containing rifabutin, clarithromycin and clofazimine, for the potential treatment of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection, which may be a disease-promoting factor in Crohn's disease. RedHill Biopharma is currently assessing the safety and efficacy of RHB-104 in a Phase III study in moderate to severely active Crohn’s Disease. The Phase III MAP US is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study in U.S., Canada, Europe, Israel, Australia

and New Zealand. The primary endpoint is disease remission, defined as Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) value of less than 150 at week 26.

An independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) conducted two pre-planned analyses reviewing the safety and efficacy of RHB-104 in the Phase III MAP US study. In 2016, RedHill Biopharma announced that the DSMB conducted its first safety review and unanimously recommended the continuation of the Phase III study. Furthermore, the second DSMB review in 2017, analyzing safety and efficacy data of the first 222 subjects who had completed week 26 assessments, also resulted in a unanimous positive recommendation from the independent review committee. Blinded efficacy data suggest a total number of treatment of successes consistent within the predefined expected treatment outcome and reveal a blended remission rate consistent with or superior to pre-specified protocol assumptions. RedHill Biopharma is expected to report unblinded top-line results from the Phase III MAP US study in August 2018.

RedHill Biopharma anticipates that additional clinical studies will need to be conducted to support a New Drug Application submission for RHB-104 in the United States. However, if the upcoming MAP US study results are positive, RedHill plans to present the data package to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to obtain guidance on the best path forward to support marketing approval. To supplement the upcoming Phase III data, RedHill initiated the MAP US2 study, an open-label extension to assess the effects of RHB-104 in patients who completed the Phase III MAP US study and remain with active Crohn’s disease (CDAI>150) at week 26. Together, results from these two trials may serve as supportive clinical data for potential future marketing applications.

In November 2017, Kyowa Hakko Kirin announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for mogamulizumab to treat Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL) in patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy, and that the application was granted Priority Review status. Mogamulizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CCR4, a chemokine receptor selectively expressed in T-helper type 2 cells and regulatory T cells and frequently present on the surface of CTCL cells. During the review, Kyowa Hakko Kirin submitted additional documentation related to the manufacturing section of the BLA and the FDA decided that it constituted a major amendment requiring a 3-month extension to the original target action date. As a result, the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date has been extended to September 4, 2018.

Biomedtracker Q3 2018 Outlook Report

This BLA is supported by data from the MAVORIC (Mogamulizumab anti-CCR4 Antibody Versus ComparatOR In CTCL) study, a global randomized trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of mogamulizumab in patients with relapsed/refractory CTCL. The trial enrolled mycosis fungoides patients (the most common form of CTCL) as well as Sezary syndrome patients. The primary objective of the study was progression free survival. Mogamulizumab was first approved in Japan in 2012 for relapsed or refractory CCR4-positive adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) and in 2014 for use in chemotherapy-naive CCR4-positive ATL and relapsed or refractory CCR4-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and CTCL.

In December 2017, Kyowa Hakko Kirin released the full dataset of the study and highlighted the significantly better PFS for the mogamulizumab group compared to the control (vorinostat) group. The median PFS was 7.7 months for the mogamulizumab arm and 3.1 months for vorinostat arm (p<0.0001). Global ORR was also significantly improved in the patients randomized to mogamulizumab at 28.0% vs 4.8% for vorinostat (p<0.0001). Patient-reported outcomes, as measured by the Skindex-29 and FACT-G, showed significantly greater symptom reduction and improved functional status in favor of mogamulizumab vs vorinostat (p<0.05). Based on data from this study, the US FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to mogamulizumab for the treatment of Mycosis Fungoides (MF) and Sézary Syndrome (SS) in adult patients who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.

Seattle Genetics’ Adcetris was approved in November 2017 for CD30-expressing CTCL patients with mycosis fungoides who have received prior systemic therapy. In a Phase III pivotal trial, PFS was 15.8 months for patients treated with Adcetris vs 3.6 months for patients receiving physician’s choice therapy. This 15.8 months PFS is substantially better than the 7.7 months PFS seen with mogamulizumab and will likely give Adcetris a competitive advantage. However, mogamulizumab may be approved for a wider group of patients as the MAVORIC trial enrolled mycosis fungoides patients as well as Sezary syndrome patients. Finally, CCR4 expression level was not an eligibility criterion for the MAVORIC trial while Adcetris is approved only for CD30-expressing CTCL patients. If approved, mogamulizumab will be a first in class option for CTCL, an orphan disease with an unmet medical need.

Pixuvri (pixantrone), in development by CTI BioPharma (CTIC), is an aza-anthracenedione analogue of Novantrone (mitoxantrone) developed to correct the cardiotoxicity seen with Novantrone. Like other anthracyclines, pixantrone inhibits topo-isomerase II. However, pixantrone alkylates (rather than intercalates) DNA, forming stable DNA adducts with specificity for CpG-rich, hyper-methlyated sites.

Biomedtracker Q3 2018 Outlook Report

Pixantrone is being developed as a potential treatment for patients with aggressive B-cell or grade 3 follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

CTI is currently conducting the Phase III PIX306 trial comparing pixantrone combined with rituximab to gemcitabine combined with rituximab. The trial enrolled patients who had failed front line CHOP-R and were not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) (2nd line) or had failed ASCT (3rd or 4th line). Top-line results from PIX306 are expected in the third quarter of 2018.

Pixantrone has previously been granted conditional marketing authorization from the European Commission as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with multiply relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell NHL. PIX306 is being conducted as a post-authorization requirement of conditional marketing authorization. If positive, the results from this trial could support broader indications both in the EU and the US, despite past failures at gaining approval.

Elagolix is an investigational, orally administered gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, being evaluated for the management of endometriosis with associated pain. Elagolix was originally developed by Neurocrine Biosciences, and in June 2010, Abbvie and Neurocrine entered a collaboration agreement to develop and commercialize Elagolix for the treatment of endometriosis-related pain. In addition to endometriosis, Elagolix is being evaluated for the treatment of uterine fibroids and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

On September 6th, 2017, Abbvie and Neurocrine Biosciences announced they submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Elagolix for the treatment of endometriosis. The NDA is supported by data from the prospective randomized endometriosis clinical trials conducted to date, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of Elagolix in nearly 1,700 women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain. The data from two replicate Phase III studies demonstrated that, at month three and month six, both Elagolix doses (150 mg once daily and 200 mg twice daily) resulted in a statistically significant higher proportion of responders for reduced menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) and reduced non-menstrual pelvic pain associated with endometriosis as measured by the Daily Endometriosis Pain Impact scale versus placebo.

Elagolix has a safety profile consistent with the partial hormone suppression associated with its mechanism of action. Safety findings were consistent across Phase III trials and showed reduced rates of amenorrhea (lack of menstruation) and reduced bone density loss (at the lower dose) compared to GnRH

agonists. Though Elagolix has positive efficacy results and a better safety profile compared to existing GnRH agonists, the Companies received notification by the FDA that it required extended time to review the results of liver function tests provided by AbbVie. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date has been extended three months, even though Elagolix received priority review from the FDA. Despite the review extension from the FDA, Elagolix, with its positive safety profile, has the potential to be the first approved drug for the treatment of endometriosis in over ten years.

Humacyte expects to report top-line data from its Phase III HUMANITY study of Humacyl for hemodialysis access in patients with end-stage renal disease during the third quarter of 2018. Humacyl are human acellular vessels (HAVs) that are created from donated human muscle cells placed on a tubular scaffold made of biodegradable suture material. The tissue cells grow in vitro to form a biologic 3D scaffold matrix. The cells are then removed from the HAV matrix and once implanted, the HAV may be remodeled by the patient to create a vascular structure more similar to native, adjacent vascular tissue.

This method of creating a biological graft is to reduce the rate of failure as compared to plastic dialysis grafts, which can have complications of infection, thrombosis, and hyperplasia and saves the need to use the patient’s own blood vessels to serve as a surrogate in the plastic graft. Due to the possible benefits provided by this treatment, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided the program with Fast Track designation on July 2014 and Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation on March 2017.

In May 2016, Humacyte announced published results from Phase II studies of Humacyl. 60 patients were implanted and at 6 months, 63% of patients had primary patency, 73% had primary assisted patency, and 97% had secondary patency, with most loss of primary patency because of thrombosis. At 12 months, 28% had primary patency, 38% had primary assisted patency, and 89% had secondary patency. One vessel became infected during 82 patient-years of follow-up. The vessels had no dilatation and rarely had post-cannulation bleeding. Based on the positive results, Humacyte launched the Phase III HUMANITY study of Humacyl as a conduit for hemodialysis in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy and who are not candidates for fistula.

In the trial, Humacyl will be compared to expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts, standard of care for ESRD patients who require hemodialysis but are not suitable for creation of an autologous arteriovenous (AV) fistula. The primary objective of this Phase III, 350-patients study will be to compare the secondary patency of the HAV with that of the ePTFE graft when used as a conduit for hemodialysis. If

The FDA will decide on the NDA for accelerated approval of migalastat on August 13. Migalastat is intended to treat Fabry disease in patients 16 years or older who have amenable genetic mutations. This rare genetic disease is caused by deficiency of the α-galactosidase A enzyme, which degrades specific lipids in lysosomes that would otherwise accumulate and cause irreversible organ damage. Migalastat is designed as a chaperone therapy to stabilize certain mutant enzymes to facilitate normal trafficking to lysosomes, thereby reducing lysosomal substrate accumulation. In addition to this unique mechanism, migalastat is available orally, which is an advantage over the established enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) Fabrazyme (agalsidase alfa, marketed by Sanofi), the only Fabry disease treatment to be approved by the FDA since 2003.

Migalastat is already approved in the European Union, Japan and other markets, including Australia and Canada. Interestingly, the FDA had previously wanted another study to confirm a clinical benefit, such as on GI symptoms, but then apparently changed their minds after the company submitted new analyses, as well as data on cardiac and renal effects, longer term extension data, and the experience of patients taking the commercial drug in Europe, especially those switched from ERT. Of note, the company has not received notice of an advisory committee and will likely not need one, since it is past the time when the FDA seeks to give notification, which is probably a positive sign for the drug. If approved, migalastat is anticipated to have a strong market impact in the United States, and Amicus expects its migalastat global revenue from 2017 to double this year.
