Development Overview

Introduction

Trabedersen is a single-stranded phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (18-mer) that specifically targets mRNA encoding transforming growth factor-β2 (TGFβ2), being developed by Autotelic, in partnership with Oncotelic Therapeutics (formerly Mateon Therapeutics), for the treatment of cancer and COVID-2019 infections and COVID-19 pneumonia. Trabedersen is believed to reverse TGF-'s immunosuppressive effects by reversing tumour induced immuno-blockade, reactivating the immune response, inhibiting tumour cell growth, and reducing migration and metastases. Trabedersen is a potent inhibitor of SAR-CoV-2 replication and also targets the lethal clinical sequelae of COVID-19, including pneumonia and fibrosis. Trabedersen through inhibition of TGFβ-Tgfbr1 pathway reduce internalisation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by alveolar epithelial cells which results in improved alveolar fluid reabsorption in ARDS, and reduction in pulmonary oedema in patients with severely ill COVID-2019 infections. Clinical development in glioblastoma is underway worldwide. Clinical development for pancreatic cancer and melanoma is underway in Germany. Clinical development for pancreatic cancer is ongoing at an unknown location. Clinical development for treatment of COVID-2019 infections and COVID-19 pneumonia is underway in Argentina and Peru. Preclinical development for the treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia and COVID-2019 infections is underway in the US. Preclinical development for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma is ongoing in the US.

The proposed mechanism and actions for trabedersen against COVID-19 infections include inhibition of cellular binding, inhibition of viral replication and suppression of viral induced pneumonia [1] .

Development in anaplastic astrocytoma/glioblastoma was terminated at phase III, and later discontinued. No recent reports of development have been identified for clinical development in colorectal cancer in Germany.

Oncotelic is also developing a personalised dosing regimen of its TGFβ antisense nucleotide, designated as OT 201, which is under preclinical development (Oncotelic pipeline, September 2016).

Trabedersen originated with Antisense Pharma, which was renamed as Isarna Therapeutics in September 2013; subsequently the drug was acquired by Autotelic [2] .

In April 2019, Oncotelic was acquired by Mateon Therapeutics [3] .

In March 2021, Mateon Therapeutics has acquired Oncotelic and then changed its name to Oncotelic Therapeutics [4] .

As at October 2021, no recent reports of development had been identified for preclinical development in Glioblastoma (Combination therapy) in USA (IV, Infusion), preclinical development in Malignant-melanoma (Combination therapy) in USA (IV, Infusion), preclinical development in Ovarian-cancer (Combination therapy) in USA (IV, Infusion).

As at April 2024, no recent reports of development had been identified for preclinical development in COVID-19 pneumonia in USA (Parenteral), preclinical development in COVID-2019-infections in USA (Parenteral).

Company Agreements

In April 2022, Oncotelic Therapeutics announced the formation of a joint venture with Dragon Overseas Capital. This joint venture is known as GMP Biotechnology. This JV is for the discovery, development and commercialization of TGF-ß therapeutics against all pharmaceutical indications Oncotelic to receive up to $50 million on sale of the RPD voucher following marketing approval of OT-101 for DIPG. Dragon Overseas has agreed to invest cash and other assets with a value of approximately $27.6 million for 55% ownership of the JV, Oncotelic has Licensed OT-101 to the JV for a 45% ownership in the JV. [5] [6] [6]

In October 2022, Oncotelic Therapeutics and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) signed a contract for the development of trabedersen (OT 101) under a project named trabedersen which is a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß) therapeutics against long-term effects of respiratory distress post COVID-19. The goal of the project funded by BARDA is to demonstrate the potential efficacy of trabedersen against the long-term effects of respiratory distress following COVID-19. Its scope includes gathering long-term clinical data on COVID-19 patients in Peru and Argentina. Under contract number 75A50122C00066, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority have provided all or a portion of the funding for the research. [7]

In September 2017, Marina Biotech (Adhera Therapeutics) entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement with Novosom. Under the agreement, Marina Biotech sold to Novosom all of intellectual property estate related to Smarticles® liposomal-based delivery system including that acquired under the Original Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $US1 million. with the IP, Novosom also assigned third-party agreements and associated certain licenses and rights with respect to the Smarticles® IP, including the right to receive milestone and royalty payments, which were concluded by Marina. Novosom payed cash amount of $US45 000 in connection with the amendment to the IP Purchase Agreement. Earlier, in July 2010, Marina Biotech acquired the intellectual property of Novosom, for its Smarticles® liposomal-based delivery system in an all-stock transaction. The assets were acquired by Marina for approximately $US5 million in unregistered Marina common stock. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed. [8] [9]

In July 2017, Marina Biotech (now Adhera Therapeutics) entered into a license agreement with Oncotelic (now Oncotelic Therapeutics) under which the former licensed its SMARTICLES platform for the delivery of antisense DNA therapeutics and its conformationally restricted nucleotide (“CRN”) technology with respect to TGF-beta. Under the terms of the agreement, Oncotelic will invest $US250 000 in Marina at a share price of $0.51. Marina Biotech could receive sales milestones of up to $US90 million based on commercial sales of licensed products. Further details of the agreement were not disclosed. In addition, if Oncotelic determines to pursue further development and commercialisation of products under the agreement, Oncotelic will purchase shares of Marina Biotech's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $US500 000, with the purchase price for each share of Marina common stock being the greater of $US0.51 or the volume weighted average price of the Marina common stock at the time of purchase. [10] [11] [4] [12]

In June 2020, Autotelic Bio and Mateon Thrapeutics (now Oncotelic Therapetics) entered into a licensing agreement for use of trabedersen in combination with interleukin-2 as an immune-oncology therapy. Mateon therapeutics completed its milestone payment to Autotelic Bio. Additionally, Mateon is entitled to profit sharing and royalties arising from the commercialization and/or licensing of OT-101/IL-2 by Autotelic Bio [13] [4]

In June 2020, Golden Mountain Partners and Mateon Therapeutics completed the research and services agreement entered on February 3, 2020. The collaboration will be conducting clinical development of OT-101, Artemisinin, and other antisense drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19 infections. [14]

In October 2015, Isarna Therapeutics signed an asset sale and purchase agreement with Autotelic, whereby Autotelic gained full and worldwide rights to develop trabedersen. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed [15] .

Key Development Milestones

In March 2024, Oncotelic Therapeutics initiated the phase IIb/III STOP-PC study to compare the efficacy and safety of trabedersen (OT 101) in combination with FOLFIRINOX (folinic acid, 5-FU, irinotecan, oxaliplatin) to FOLFIRINOX alone in patients with advanced and unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer (NCT06079346; OT-01-P201). The multicentre, open, parallel, prospective, randomized trial aims to enroll 468 patients at an unknown location [16] [17]

As at August 2023, Oncotelic Therapeutics in collaboration with Cromos Pharma plans to conduct a phase IIb/III trial for pancreatic cancer in 2H of 2023 [18] [19] [20] . Earlier, in January 2023, the Company submitted a clinical study protocol to the US FDA for the initiation of a phase IIb/III (P201) trial for OT 101 as a treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer [21] .

As at September 2016, phase II/III development of trabedersen is ongoing for pancreatic cancer, melanoma and glioblastoma (Oncotelic pipeline, September 2016).

Monotherapy

Anaplastic astrocytoma/glioblastoma

In November 2022, Oncotelic Therapeutics submitted clinical trial protocol for initiation of phase I G101 trial in pediatric Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) (Glioblastoma) patients, administered intraventricularly [22] .

In December 2008, Isarna Therapeutics initiated a phase III trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of trabedersen in patients with recurrent or refractory anaplastic astrocytoma or secondary glioblastoma (SAPPHIRE; NCT00761280; EudraCT2007-005802-38; G005). The study was intended to enrol approximately 27 patients from sites in Europe, Canada, Mexico, and Asia. Trabedersen was to be compared with standard chemotherapy (temozolomide or BCNU) in the trial. The primary endpoint would be the survival rate at 24 months. However, the trial was discontinued in March 2012 due to lack of patient recruitment (no safety or efficacy issues) [23] [24] [25] .

In April 2003, Isarna Therapeutics initiated a dose finding phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of trabedersen compared to standard chemotherapy (temozolomide or PCV) in patients with recurrent or refractory anaplastic astrocytoma or secondary glioblastoma (NCT00431561; AP 12009-G004). The trial was completed in March 2009 and enrolled 141 patients in Austria, Georgia, Germany, India, Israel and Russia. Results from the study in 141 patients with recurrent or refractory glioma demonstrated that trabedersen administered intratumourally was well tolerated and equivalent to chemotherapy with temozolomide or PCV (combination therapy of procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine). In addition, a sub-population analysis demonstrated trabedersen improved overall response rate and survival in 39 patients with anaplastic astrocytoma. Results from a 24-month follow-up were reported in April 2010. In March 2019, data from the trial showed improved survival was achieved by repeated exposure to temozolomide/alkylating agent, which were presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR-2019). This was further enhanced by trabedersen and consistent with the proposed MOA of trabedersen/Chemo as reactivation of immunity during TGF-β suppression and subsequent xenogenization by temozolomide [26] [24] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] .

Antisense was targeting approval of trabedersen in this indication in the EU where the product candidate has orphan drug status. The Scientific Advice Working Party of the EMEA had accepted the 24 month survival rate as the primary study endpoint for the phase III study. Given the rarity of the disease, the surrogate endpoint of 14 month progression rate would have been accepted as the endpoint for conditional approval in anaplastic astrocytoma by the EMEA, provided this was supported by the survival data [29] .

A good safety and tolerability profile was reported for trabedersen following a phase I/II clinical trial in Germany and Europe in mid-2002. There were no drug related clinically relevant adverse events and six of eighteen patients showed stabilisation or response [33] .

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

In September 2019, Mateon Therapeutics announced that the US FDA granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to trabedersen for the treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) [34] .

Other solid tumours

In November 2011, Antisense Pharma completed an open-label phase I/II trial of trabedersen in patients with pancreatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma, or colorectal cancer (NCT00844064; AP 12009-P001; P-001). This trial was initiated in January 2005 and completed enrolment of 62 patients in Germany [35] . Oncotelic released results from the trial in April 2017, September 2016 and March 2016 [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] . In August 2017, the company presented the results of the trial at the 42nd European Society for Medical Oncology Congress (ESMO-2017) [41] . In March 2019, updated efficacy results from the trial were presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR-2019) [42] . In September 2020, updated efficacy data from the trial was released by Mateon Therapeutics [43] .

The development plans for trabedersen were revised by Isarna in September 2013, with the focus on a Responder Patient Profiling Program (RPPP). The RPPP was assessing the genetic profile and responder biomarkers in patients with cancer to find a correlation between tumour biology and response to anti-TGF-β oligonucleotides and preclinical development was ongoing [2] . The company had reported in its June 2015 corporate presentation that it planned to advance the RPPP towards an IND/CTA.

In February 2013, Antisense revised its development plan for trabedersen to focus on the systemic intravenous administration. The decision was based on preliminary data from the SAPPHIRE trial showing serious adverse events that might be associated with the local administration of the compound in the trial. The decision was further supported by the data from a phase I/II trial in solid tumour where treatment was safe and well tolerated following intravenous administration of trabedersen. There were encouraging survival outcome data in patients with pancreatic cancer or malignant melanoma compared with historical controls. Antisense plans to conduct a phase II trial to investigate systemic intravenous trabedersen in the treatment of malignant melanoma, pancreatic cancer and other tumours.

Oncotelic released data from preclinical study of trabedersen in human melanoma xenograft in athymic nude mice, in February 2016 [44] .

In August 2011, trabedersen received approval from the FDS for treatment of stage IV malignant melanoma [45] .

In September 2009, both the EMEA and the FDA granted orphan drug status for trabedersen in the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma [46] .

In April 2002, Antisense Pharma received orphan drug status for the treatment of high-grade glioma in the EU. Orphan drug status was granted by the US FDA in July 2002 for the same indication.

Combination therapy

In August 2023, University of Washington in collaboration with Genentech and Oncotelic Therapeutics withdrawn a phase II trial prior to opening to accrual (NCT05935774; NCI-2023-04564; RG1123580). The trial was planned to be initiated in December 2023 to evaluate the efficacy of trabedersen in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced recurrent and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in USA [47] .

In February 2023, Oncotelic Therapeutics initiated its second investigator initiated studies (IIS) in a series of planned clinical studies. The company submitted to US FDA a protocol for the study with approximately 30 patients with non-small cell lung cancer in collaboration with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and a large pharmaceutical company in the field of immuno-oncology (IO). The study will combine its oligodeoxynucleotide trabedersen (OT 101) and a US FDA approved anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor [48] [47] .

As of January 2022, OT 101 is undergoing a phase Ib trial in combination with IL-2 [49] [50] .

As of January 2022, multiple trials combining trabedersen (OT 101) with pembrolizumab are in development [49] .

In May 2022, Oncotelic Therapeutics announced the clearance of the phase II trial (M201) protocol for mesothelioma by the US FDA. In December 2021, Oncotelic Therapeutics announced that it has submitted clinical study protocol to the US FDA for the initiation of a phase II trial (M201) for trabedersen in combination with anti-PD-1 (pembrolizumab/Keytruda®) as a treatment for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) [51] [52] .

In March 2021, Oncotelic Therapeutics released pharmacodynamics data from a preclinical study in cancer for trabedersen in combination with Proleukin® [53]

In March 2021, Mateon Therapeutics received regulatory approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of Korea, and subsequently announced the initiation of a phase Ib clinical trial of a patented OT 101/IL-2 combination in solid tumours. The trial intends to confirm the safety and effectiveness of OT 101/IL-2 in solid cancer patients in cooperation with the UK global pharmaceutical company Clinigen Group. The trial is currently recruiting in South Korea [54] [50] .

In September 2017, Autotelic presented results from preclinical studies of trabedersen in combination with chemotherapy in tumour models at the 42nd European Society for Medical Oncology Congress (ESMO-2017) [55] .

In June 2020, a preclinical study OT 101 and IL-2 combination demonstrated good synergy against tumor xenograft models [13]

In March 2016, Oncotelic reported its plans to initiate multiple phase II combination trials followed by pivotal phase III registrational trials in several indications including pancreatic cancer, melanoma and glioblastoma [37] .

COVID-2019 infections and COVID-19 pneumonia

As of January 2022, Oncotelic Therapeutics reported that OT 101 has completed a phase II trial against COVID infection and demonstrated good efficacy [49] .

As of March 2023, Oncotelic Therapeutics completed the phase II C-001 trial for the treatment of patients with COVID-2019 infections and associated pneumonia. In June 2021, the enrollment of the trial was discontinued due to severe variants in Latin America, leading to exhaustion of medical care infrastructure. Trial completed randomisation of 32 out of 36 patients planned, on an intent to treat basis. Oncotelic stopped enrolment before full enrolment of the 18 patients needed for part 2, to determine the role of TGF-beta in the variants currently dominant in Latin America [56] . Earlier in December 2020, Mateon Therapeutics initiated a phase II C-001 trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of tradebersen in combination with standard of care for the treatment of COVID-2019 infections and associated pneumonia. The randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial is recruiting 72 patients in the Peru and Argentina [57] [58] . In March 2021, company announced that trial has completed enrollment in sentinel part 1 and part 2 COVID-19 patients and company intends to expand the trial with further enrollment of 18 patients in part 1 and part 2 of the trial. Targeted enrollment in part 1 with 18 patients has also been completed. No safety signals were observed in related to tradebersen in mild, moderate or severe COVID-19 infection. Once a complete data assessment of these 18 patients is competed by Oncotelic and its Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), Oncotelic may continue to screen and enroll an additional cohort of 18 Part 1 patients [59] . In November 2021, efficacy data from this trial were released by Oncotelic Therapeutics [60]

In November 2020, Mateon Therapeutics announced that Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS), the regulatory agency of Peru, has approved C001 phase II trial for tradebersen for the treatment of patients with mild to severe COVID-19 infection. Earlier in June 2020, Mateon Therapeutics had announced that IQVIA was selected to manage the C001, a phase II randomised, controlled, multi-center clinical study of trabedersen. In the same month the company had announced that the IND for trabedersen (OT-101) for COVID19 was completed and they intend to initiate clinical trials against COVID-19 infections [61] . In April 2020, Mateon Therapeutics submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the US FDA seeking approval to evaluate trabedersen for the treatment of COVID-2019 infections. A pre-IND application was submitted by the company to the US FDA in the same month for COVID-19 infections. The company has requested US FDA to allow the referencing of OT-101’s oncology IND in order to streamline the IND submission for OT-101 against COVID-19 [62] [63] . Earlier In March 2020, Mateon Therapeutics released the preclinical results of trabedersen for the treatment of COVID-19 infections. Trabedersen showed significant activity against COVID-19 and SARS with safety index >500. Trabedersen inhibited virus binding to its target, thereby stopping the virus from replicating itself and stopping viral induced pneumonia, which often leads to patient complications. Trabedersen demonstrated potent activity against SARS-CoV-2 in the nanomolar range that was comparable to remdesivir, however, with higher safety index. Trabedersen avoids resistance mutations by targeting the host protein, TGF-ß, which could render vaccine and/or therapeutics against viral protein(s) ineffective. The proposed mechanism and actions for trabedersen against COVID-19 include inhibition of cellular binding, inhibition of viral replication and suppression of viral induced pneumonia [64] [65] [1] .

In March 2020, Mateon Therapeutics reported that it is developing trabedersen for the treatment of pneumonia associated with coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-2019) due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The company believe that replication of SARS-Co-2 virus release TGF-β which further potentiate the viral replication. The progressive increase in TGF-β with increasing viral load results in increased permeability and failed fluid reabsorption in lungs, leading to persistent and severe pulmonary oedema and ARDS. TGF-β through Tgfbr1-mediated signaling pathway cause internalisation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by alveolar epithelial cells with marked reduction in the cell-surface abundance of ENaC on lung epithelial cells thereby rapidly and substantially impairing alveolar fluid reabsorption in ARDS patients, which culminate in pulmonary oedema. Thus, inhibition of TGF-β with trabedersen can reduse pulmonary oedema with inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 virus replication and improve ARDS in patients with severe COVID-2019 infections [66] [67] .

Scientific Summary

Pharmacokinetics

Results of the phase I/II trial of trabedersen in patients with pancreatic cancer demonstrated increasing peak levels of IL-8 and IL-15 response on day 2 of trabedersen treatment. ANCOVA models for two feedback interactions with pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters showed significant model fits (F3,7 = 7.89, P = 0.012 for simulated Vz mean; F3,7 = 8.18, P = 0.011 for simulated Cl mean) and the interaction effects resulted in lower p-values for the correlation of overall survival (OS) versus IL-8 levels [41] . The PK profile of trabedersen, described by a two-compartment model, showed large distribution of the drug in the peripheral tissues. The influence of age, gender, BMI, height, cancer type and treatment schedule on the PK of trabedersen was not identified. Total body clearance observed was 0.17 mL/h, distribution volume of the central compartment was 4.69L, inter-compartmental clearance was 3.31 L/h and distribution volume of the peripheral compartment was 5046.44 L. Body weight was identified as a covariate on trabedersen inter-compartmental clearance, with KBW as -ve 1.48. With exclusion of protocol deviations, a total of 1 444 plasma sample concentration data, obtained from a phase I/II trial, from 100 patient cycles were examined. The study evaluated the safety and tolerability of trabedersen in 61 patients with pancreatic cancer (n = 37), malignant melanoma (n = 19) and colorectal carcinoma (n = 5) [36] [35] .

Adverse Events

Glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma

Trabedersen was well tolerated in a phase IIb trial in 145 patients with recurrent or refractory glioblastoma, including 39 patients with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA). Patients received chemotherapy (N=33, AA patients=12), or trabedersen 10µM (N=28, AA=12) or 80µM (N=34, AA=15) via convection-enhanced delivery for up to 11 2-week cycles (7 days receiving treatment, followed by 7 days off). In the total population, drug related serious adverse events were observed in only three patients in the trabedersen 80µM group. In the AA subpopulation, there was a higher incidence of SAEs in the trabedersen groups (67% each) compared with the control group (25%), but these were often procedure related and mostly reversible; no serious adverse events were drug related. Two cases of neutropenia in the 90 patients was reported in trabedersen group versus 8, 10, and 8 patients with leukopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, respectively, among 45 patients treated with temozolomide (2% vs. 56%, p < 0.0001) [26] [29] [31] [30] [79] [33] [32] .

In three phase I/II studies, 27 adult patients with recurrent high-grade glioma and MRI evidence of tumour progression received a 113-fold dose escalation of trabedersen. The drug was administered by convection enhanced delivery, using an indwelling pump system. All doses were rated as safe by an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board. Six patients had adverse events which were possibly related to treatment. There were no changes in haematological parameters or other laboratory values [83] .

Solid tumours

Trabedersen had a good safety and tolerability profile, based on interim results from a phase I/II trial in patients pancreatic cancer, malignant melanoma and colorectal cancer. At the time of the interim analysis, 25 patients in 6 cohorts had been treated in two dosing regimens. The maximum tolerated dose was established as 160 mg/m2/day, when trabedersen is given via IV infusion for the first 7 days of a 14 day cycle. Dose limiting toxicities, including two grade 3 thrombocytopenia and grade 3 exanthema, were observed at the 240 mg/m2/day dose level. In the second dosing schedule, trabedersen IV is given in the first 4 days of a 14 day cycle; dose escalation was ongoing in this schedule at the time of interim analysis [78] [39] . Additional data from this phase I/II trial showed that trabedersen was associated with a maximum tolerated dose (primary endpoint) of 160 mg/m2/day in the 7 days on-7 days off schedule and 140 mg/m2/day in the 4 days on-10 days off schedule in patients with pretreated advanced pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer or malignant melanoma. Non-serious, moderate and transient thrombocytopenia was the only expected adverse reaction observed [73] .

Animal toxicology

After short-term infusion of trabedersen 5-160 mg/kg to cynomolgus monkeys there were no observed adverse effects reported for cardiovascular, clotting and haematological parameters. In mice, a single IV bolus dose of trabedersen was also well tolerated [85] [87] .

Pharmacodynamics

Summary

Treatment with trabedersen as a single agent significantly reduced lymph node metastasis (p = 0.023), tumour growth (p = 0.0084), and tumour angiogenesis (p < 0.0001) in mice model of human L3.6pl pancreatic cancer (PAC), as compared with untreated control. Trabedersen, in combination with dacarbazine (DTIC), demonstrated synergy in tumour growth inhibition and increased survival in human metastatic C8161 melanoma model (p = 0.038), as compared with DTIC alone. Synergistic effects in tumour growth inhibition and increased survival were also reported with combination therapy of trabedersen and paclitaxel (PTX) in SC glioblastoma (U87) (p = 0.001) and SC ovarian (SKOV-3) tumour models (p < 0.05), as compared with PTX alone. Trabedersen and gemcitabine combination therapy did not demonstrate synergy in PAC model. The combination regimen tested was effective and achieved significant antitumour activity at HED of 80 mg/m2/day, which is well below the optimised clinical dose used for intravenous infusion of patients at 140 mg/m2/day [55] .

Treatment with trabedersen resulted in antitumour activity in a mouse model of metastatic pancreatic cancer. A significant reduction in tumour weight (0.7 versus 1.4g, p=0.0084) and cell proliferation (p=0.028) occurred in the treatment arm relative to control animals. Furthermore, lymph node (2/10 mice) and liver metastasis (4/10) was lower in the treatment group than the control group (7/9 and 5/9 mice, respectively). Tumours showed a significant reduction in angiogenesis in the treatment group (p=0.0001) [75] .

Trabedersen efficiently targeted colorectal cancer cells and significantly reduced TGF-β2 expression in a dose-dependent manner. In functional assays, trabedersen inhibited colorectal carcinoma cell proliferation by up to 60% compared with controls. Trabedersen also reversed TGF-β2-mediated immunosuppression in an allogenic system with WiDr cells targeted by IL-2-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (LAK cells) derived from healthy donors. LAK cell cytoxicity was increased in a donor-dependent manner up to 190% after treatment with trabedersen [77] .

Tumour cells treated with trabedersen secreted reduced amounts of TGFβ2 and trabedersen abrogated TGFβ-dependent mechanisms of tumour progression. Moreover, when human glioma cells were exposed to trabedersen, the anti-tumour response of LAK effector cells was enhanced. This effect is related to downregulation of TGFβ synthesis in vitro. Glioma cell proliferation and migration was also inhibited by trabedersen in a dose dependent manner [86] .

TGFβ2 secretion was inhibited in several human pancreatic cancer cell lines by trabedersen. Trabedersen reversed TGFβ2-mediated immunosuppression, reduced pancreatic cancer cell proliferation up to 76% in a dose-dependent manner, and completely blocked pancreatic cancer cell migration [81] .

In a human glioma cell line (A-172), trabedersen potently inhibited TGFβ2 expression and barely affected TGFβ1 expression when the cell culture medium contained serum. However, under serum-free conditions, both isoforms were inhibited. The inhibitory effects of trabedersen on TGFβ1 expression was reversed by addition of rhTGFβ2. Specific inhibition of TGFβ2 expression by trabedersen down-regulated TGFβ1 and also interrupted the cross-regulatory loop whereby TGFβ induces the expression of TGFβ1 [74] .

Trabedersen inhibited TGF-2 secretion and proliferation of human malignant melanoma cell cultures (Mel-Juso, MER 116, and RPMI 7951) and cell migration from MER spheroids. Combination of trabedersen and dacarbazine (DTIC) induced a synergistic effect (p<0.001) on tumour inhibition in the C8161 melanoma xenograft in athymic nude mice [44] .

Pharmacodynamics data obtained from a preclinical study for trabedersen in combination with low doses of Proleukin indicated that decreased cancer cell viability in solid cancer cell lines. In a humanised NGS mouse model with the combination therapy, melanoma and triple negative breast cancer tumour growth was reported to be delayed. A statistically significant delay in tumour growth was observed in tradebersen treatment alone or intraleukin-2 alone group. In trabedersen treated group, tumour infiltrating lymphocyte population was increased, and FoxP3+ regulatory T cell population in blood and tumour microenvironment was decreased [53] .

In an in vitro antiviral testing, trabedersen showed an 50% effective concentration (EC50) of 7.6 µg/mL and was not toxic at the highest dose of 1000 µg/mL giving a safety index (SI) value of >130, which is considered highly active [1] .

Therapeutic Trials

Glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma

Phase II

Trabedersen showed equal efficacy to chemotherapy with temozolomide or PCV (combination therapy of procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine) in an open label, randomised phase IIb trial of 145 patients with recurrent or refractory high grade glioblastoma. Patients either received chemotherapy or trabedersen 10 or 80µM intratumourally via convection-enhanced delivery for up to 11, 2-week cycles comprising 7 days treatment, followed by 7 days off. The overall response rate (complete or partial response) at 12 months, based on 134 evaluable patients was 3%, 7%, and 0% in the chemotherapy (N=33), trabedersen 10 (N=28) and 80µM groups (N=34), respectively. In addition, there were more survivors after 1.5 and 2 years in the trabedersen groups compared with the control group. The 2-year survival rates were 83%, 53% and 42%, respectively, in the trabedersen 10µMol, 80µMol and standard chemotherapy groups, respectively. Furthermore, the duration of response was approximately three-times longer in the 10µMol group than in the standard chemotherapy group (29.1 vs 8.0 months) and the median survival duration in the trabedersen 10µMol group was 17.4 months [76] . In a subpopulation analysis of patients with recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma, trabedersen therapy was associated with a higher survival rate and overall response rate compared with the chemotherapy analysis. The overall response rate at 14 months and survival rate at 24 months was 34% and 83% in the trabedersen 10µM group (N=12), respectively, 20% and 53% in the trabedersen 80 µM group (N=15), respectively and 0% and 42% in the control group (N=12), respectively. Furthermore, the median survival time was 37.2 and 21.7 months in the trabedersen 10µM and control groups, respectively. In the trabedersen 10µM group, there was a steady increase in overall tumour response over 14 months, whereas the response rate in the chemotherapy group decreased from 25% to 0% [24] [27] [29] [30] [39] [79] [80] [32] .

In a phase I/II dose escalation trial of trabedersen showed that six out of 18 patients achieved an objective response or disease stabilisation [33] . Another patient had a complete response after one course without any other anti-tumour therapy [84] .

In three phase I/II studies, 27 adult patients with recurrent high-grade glioma and MRI evidence of tumour progression received a 113-fold dose escalation of trabedersen. The drug was administered by convection enhanced delivery, using an indwelling pump system. In the 20 evaluable patients, median overall survival results for trabedersen therapy versus literature values for temozolomide therapy were 77.0 vs 42 weeks for anaplastic astrocytoma and 42.4 vs 32 weeks for glioblastoma. 13 patients who had received temozolomide prior to trabedersen had median overall survival results of 106.4 weeks for anaplastic astrocytoma and 46.1 weeks for glioblastoma [83] . In follow-up results, the median overall survival time of patients from start of the first trabedersen treatment was 90 weeks and 44 weeks for anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma respectively compared to 42 weeks and 32 weeks for those receiving temozolomide therapy for anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma respectively. The mean overall survival for 16 patients that received temozolomide before trabedersen was 146.6 weeks for anaplastic astrocytoma and 46.1 weeks for glioblastoma. One patient had a complete response in all tumour sites after one cycle of trabedersen. He survived for 195 weeks until his death due to myocardial infarction. A similar tumour reduction of more than 80% for a second patient has been documented. This patient is still alive and has to date received 12 cycles of trabedersen [82] .

Other solid tumours

Updated results from the trial demonstrated reduction in IL-6 levels in more than 50% of patients following first cycle of dosing of trabedersen. Patients who exhibited a rebound effect following termination of treatment in cycle 1 is decreased again on subsequent administration of trabedersen in cycle 2. All the patients exhibited elevated IL-6 levels on disease progression [43] . Updated results from a phase I/II trial in patients with pancreatic cancer demonstrated that the median OS (mOS) for 18 second-line patients (OT 101/SC) was 9.4months compared with 2.8 months in 19 patients on OT 101/best supportive care (BSC) (p = 0.0004). Patients with only liver metastasis had a mOS of 9.5 months versus 4.7 months(p = 0.0077) in those with liver metastasis and others. Complete response beyond 77.3 months was reported in one patient and another had stable disease with OS of 40.3 months in the former group. For liver metastasis only group with OT 101/SC OS was 12.4 months compared with 1.9 months (p = 0.0006). Disease control (DC) was reported in 16 of 37 patients with a mOS of 9.7 months versus 3 months (p < 0.0001). In the DC group OS was higher for with OT-101/SC being 11.8 months versus 5 months (p = 0.0021). A spike was observed in IL-8 level which returned to basal level when the treatment was stopped. The R2 relating the IL-8 spike and OS were 0.8522 (p = 0.0011) and 0.9895 (p = 0.0053) for patients treated subsequently with SC and BSC, respectively [42] . Earlier it was shown that When stratified for patients with and without chemotherapy, R2 increased to 0.99 and 0.77 respectively. Similar results were observed for IL-15, with R2 = 0.93 in patients with chemotherapy and R2 = 0.50 in those without therapy [41] . Anti-cancer activity was demonstrated in patients with pancreatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma and colorectal cancer. In the first dosing schedule, trabedersen was administered for the first 7 days of a 10 day cycle, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was established as 160 mg/m2/day, whereas MTD was not reached on 4/10 regimen (n = 27) even at highest dose of 330 mg/m2/d. There were 16 second-line patients and 11 third-line and beyond on 4/10 regimen. The progression free survival/overall survival (PFS/OS) of the second line patients in months were: 1.87/5.60 (n = 6), 1.87/9.93 (n = 11) and 2.72/11.80 (n = 5) at increasing mean dose of 140, 167 and 196 mg/m2/d, respectively. The OS of 9.93 and 11.80 months were higher (range = 2.50-9.20/median = 5.50 months). The corresponding progression free survival (PFS) values were in line (range = 0.00-7.65/median = 2.43 months). The OS of 4/10 cohort treated with subsequent chemotherapies was 14.7 and 2.93 months with and without subsequent chemotherapies, p = 0.0023. Chemotherapy on second line followed with subsequent trabedersen 4/10 regimen as third line was ineffective with OS of 2.80 months (n = 9) versus 9.93 months (n = 11), p = 0.046. Of the five malignant melanoma patients treated with trabedersen, one from the first schedule showed stable disease and lived for 13.8 months, three patients from the second schedule are still alive. Median overall survival (OS) for advanced pancreatic carcinoma patients in the first schedule was 6.8 months; one patient showed a complete response and is still alive 45.6 months (as of Feb 2009) after receiving trabedersen therapy. The median OS for pancreatic carcinoma patients in the first cohort of five patients in the second schedule is 13.4 months (as of Aug 2009); one patient is still alive with stable disease 19 months (as of April 2009) after start of study treatment. Additional data showed that trabedersen administered at the maximum tolerated dose of 160 mg/m2/day (7 days on 7 days off) or 140 mg/m2/day (4 days on, 10 days off) was active in all patients. Updated results from the trial showed an IL-8 spike during first cycle of therapy resulting in improved overall survival in pancreatic cancer patients treated with trabedersen [37] [72] [46] [78] [39] [73] [35] .

In a phase I/II melanoma study, trabedersen treatment resulted in improved overall survival (OS) which was not supported by progression-free survival (PFS). The effect was observed when chemotherapies were used as subsequent therapies following trabedersen treatment [38] .

Results from phase II C001 trial demonstrated that the overall survival improved significantly improved from 4 day for placebo to 14 day OT-101 among critically ill COVID-19 patients. End of treatment- day 7-mortality for the entire study population was 4.5% OT-101 versus 20% placebo. Incidence of >96% viral load knockdown on end of treatment- day 7- was 89% for OT-101 versus 67% for placebo [60] [57]
