Development Overview

Introduction

ARCT 021 is a mRNA-based prophylactic vaccine, is being developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, to prevent COVID-2019 coronavirus infections, under LUNAR-COV19 program. Arcturus is combining the self-replicating RNA STARR™ technology with their nanoparticle-based LUNAR® RNA medicine delivery technology. The combination of these two technologies helps in rapid production, reduction in the RNA dose required for protective immune response and increase in the duration of antigen expression. The vaccine targets myocytes and dendritic cells. The single dose vaccine will take the advantage of a platform developed at Duke-NUS Medical School of Singapore for rapid screening of vaccines for effectiveness and safety in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) in SARS-CoV-19 infections. Clinical development was underway in Singapore and in the US. However, as of January 2023, the drug candidate was no longer listed on the company pipeline, therefore, it appears that development has been discontinued for COVID-2019 infections in Singapore and the US.

ARCT 021, ARCT 154 [see Adis profile 800064814], ARCT 165 [see Adis profile 800064815] are part of LUNAR-COV19 Vaccines programme.

As of March 2020, ARCT 021 is available for licensing by Arcturus Therapeutics (Arcturus Therapeutics website, March 2020).

Company Agreements

In August 2021, Arcturus Therapeutics and Vinbiocare Biotechnology entered into manufacturing and collaboration agreement to establish a manufacturing facility in Vietnam for ARCT 021 in the prevention of COVID-2019 infections. Under the terms of the arrangement, Vinbiocare Biotechnology will, with consultation from Arcturus Therapeutics, build out a manufacturing facility in Vietnam, and Arcturus Therapeutics will provide to Vinbiocare Biotechnology access to proprietary technologies and processes for the manufacture ARCT 021 COVID-19 vaccines. Arcturus Therapeutics will provide Vinbiocare Biotechnology with an exclusive license to manufacture the vaccines in Vietnam at the facility solely for distribution in Vietnam. The license and technology transfer applies toward drug product manufacturing but not toward mRNA drug substance manufacturing. Technology transfer is underway. Vinbiocare Biotechnology will make an upfront payment of $US 40 million and be responsible for costs associated with the technology transfer. Vinbiocare Biotechnology will also pay for mRNA drug substance supplied by Arcturus Therapeutics and royalties on vaccines produced at the Facility. [1]

In October 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics entered into a manufacturing agreement with Recipharm for manufacture of ARCT 021 COVID-19 vaccine for 2021 and the future. Other financial details of the agreement were not disclosed. [2]

In August 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics executed the definitive supply agreement provided for in the previously announced binding term sheet agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Health, to supply COVID-19 STARR™ mRNA vaccine candidate (ARCT 021). Earlier, in July 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics had entered into a binding term sheet with the Israeli Ministry of Health to supply the Company’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate, LUNAR-COV19. The parties intend to finalise a comprehensive supply agreement within 30 days. Delivery to Israel of doses of Arcturus’ COVID-19 vaccine candidate is contingent upon achievement of near term clinical and regulatory milestones and other conditions to be set forth in the definitive supply agreement. The government of Israel is responsible for distributing the vaccine to its citizens subject to approval by their Ministry of Health. [3] [4]

In May 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics entered into manufacturing agreement with Catalent to support the expected manufacture of LUNAR-COV19 program. The agreement will combine Arcturus’ low-dose STARR™ mRNA vaccine technology with Catalent’s scalable cGMP manufacturing capabilities to produce millions of doses of LUNAR-COV19 mRNA in 2020 and potentially 100s of millions of doses annually for worldwide use. Technology transfer will be completed in May and manufacture of the first cGMP batches of LUNAR-COV19 mRNA are expected to be completed by June 2020.
[5]

In March 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics and Duke-NUS Medical School announced a research and development agreement to develop a Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine for Singapore. The COVID-19 vaccine development will be based on Arcturus' STARR technology™ and will take advantage of a platform developed at Duke-NUS for rapid screening of vaccines for effectiveness and safety. [6]

Key Development Milestones

In August 2021, Arcturus Therapeutics initiated a phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccines including ARCT 021 and ARCT 154 [See Adisinsight drug profile800064814], ARCT 165 [See Adisinsight drug profile800064815] in previously vaccinated and not previously vaccinated adults against SARS-CoV-2 (ARCT-165-01; NCT05037097). The randomised, double-blind study intends to enroll 72 patients in the Singapore and the trial may expand to the US.

In July 2022, Arcturus Therapeutics terminated a phase IIa trial due to operational or business reasons. The trial was not terminated for reasons of safety or immunogenicity. Earlier in January 2021, Arcturus Therapeutics initiated a phase IIa open label extension trial for ARCT-021-01 trial (see below) to evaluate the safety and long term immunogenicity of ARCT 021 in healthy volunteers for prevention COVID-2019 infections (NCT04728347; ARCT-021-02). The open label trial was intends to enrol 65 healthy volunteers who have completed ARCT-021-01 trial in Singapore [7] .

In July 2022, Arcturus Therapeutics terminated a phase IIa trial due to operational or business reasons. The trial was not terminated for reasons of safety or immunogenicity. Earlier in January 2021, Arcturus Therapeutics initiated a phase II trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the study vaccine in younger and older adult participants. Enrolled participants will be randomly assigned to receive either study vaccine ARCT-021 or placebo (sterile saline) (NCT04668339; ARCT-021-04). The randomised trial was intends to enrol approximately 581 participants in the US and Singapore [8] .

In December 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics received FDA allowance to proceed with phase II trial of ARCT 021 (LUNAR-COV19) vaccine candidate in the United States following review of data from the phase I/II study. The phase II study will enroll 600 participants, with 450 receiving ARCT 021 and 150 receiving placebo. Both older and younger adult participants will be included in the trial. Early interim analysis of safety and immunogenicity will be performed to inform dose selection for a phase III study [9] .

In December 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics received approval from Singapore Health Sciences Authority to commence a phase II trial of ARCT 021. The trial will enable selection of optimal vaccination regimen for phase III registrational trial [10] . In April 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics announced that it plans to initiate human clinical trial for COVID-19 vaccine under the guidance of the Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA). The trial plans to enroll up to 76 healthy volunteer adults including elderly individuals, with follow-up over several months to evaluate extent and duration of immune response [11] [12] .

In January 2021, Arcturus Therapeutics in collaboration with Duke-NUS Medical School completed phase I/II trial of COVID-19 vaccine for the prevention of COVID-2019 infection in healthy volunteers (ARCT-021-01; NCT04480957). The trial was conducted in two parts. The randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled trial initiated in August 2020 and enrolled 106 adults, elderly volunteers in Singapore. In July 2020, the Singapore Health Sciences Authority approved the clinical trial application for COVID-19 vaccine candidate [13] [14] [12] . In November 2020 enrolment for the trial was completed. As of November 2020, 78 subjects have received at least one injection of COVID-19 vaccine, 36 patients have received two injections (i.e., prime-boost), and 28 patients have received placebo. Arcturus Therapeutics released adverse events and immunogenicity data from a trial and based on results, a single 7.5 µg dose of COVID-19 vaccine, along with prime-boost regimens are selected to advance into later stage global clinical trials [15] . In December 2020, updated results from the trial were released by the Arcturus Therapeutics [10] .

In March 2021, immunogenicity data from a preclinical studies in COVID-2019 infections released by Arcturus Therapeutics [16] .

In July 2020, Arcturus Therapeutics released pharmacodynamics data from a preclinical study in COVID-2019 infections [14] .

Scientific Summary

Pharmacokinetics

Results from phase I/II trial demonstrated that peak antibody titer was observed at day 43 for 5 µg and 7.5 µg single administration groups, and day 57 for 5 µg prime-boost groups. Peak geometric mean binding antibody titers observed were 4,959 (5 µg single shot); 6,749 (7.5 µg single shot); 16,642 (5 µg prime-boost) compared to placebo which was less than 400. Responder peak geometric mean neutralizing antibody titers of 32, 33 and 46 were observed following 5 µg single dose, 7.5 µg single dose and 5 µg prime-boost participants, respectively. Neutralizing antibody titers in convalescent sera were ranged from 12 to 1818 [10] [12] .

Adverse Events

Updated results from phase I/II trial demonstrated no safety concerns, all the participant completed all the doses. All adverse events except 2 were mild or moderate at doses selected for phase II. One participant reported transient, asymptomatic grade 3 lymphopenia. Transient grade 3 fatigue and myalgia observed following second injection in one older adult. Serious adverse events were reported in placebo arm [10] . Earlier results from the trial showed favorable safety and tolerability profile in both younger (ages 21-55) and older (ages 56-80) patients with no moderate or severe fevers. COVID-19 vaccine was well tolerated and had a favorable local and systemic adverse event (AE) profile. The majority of AEs were mild; there were no moderate (Grade 2) or severe (Grade 3) fevers at any dose and no severe (Grade 3) injection site reactions at doses being contemplated for advancement. No patients had withdrawn from the trial and there had been no serious adverse events deemed to be treatment related [15] [12] .

Pharmacodynamics

Summary

In preclinical study, administration of LUNAR-COV19 (0.2, 2.0, 10.0 µg), demonstrated neutralising antibody levels in response which was continued to increase for 60 days. Also LUNAR-COV19 vaccine demonstrated robust humoral and cellular immunity at doses as low as 0.2 µg. Further the vaccine reported 100% seroconversion with a very low single dose (2.0 µg) [13] [14] .

Immunogenicity

Summary

Updated results from phase I/II trial demonstrated humoral immune response in all the subjects receiving 5µg or 7.5 µg dose. Vaccination with ARCT 021 showed cellular immune responses to SARS-COV-2 peptide pools at day 15 for 5 µg and 7.5 µg doses. PBMC ELISpot responses detected at day 15. At day 29, CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses shown on cytokine staining (IFN-?), following single dose at 5 µg and 7.5 µg and sustained at 2 weeks following boost at 5 µg. Th1 dominant CD4+ response was observed following single dose and prime boost regimens [10] . Earlier results from the trial showed robust anti-spike protein IgG immune response at all doses evaluated. PRNT50 GMT levels for neutralizing antibodies were within the range of titers observed in COVID-19 volunteers convalescent plasma. Anti-spike IgG antibody titers was dose-dependent, and increased through approximately day 43 and confirmed the effect seen in preclinical studies for STARR™ mRNA which exhibited increasing antibody titers over extended periods of time. Cytokine staining and ELISpot tests showed T cell responses to multiple peptide pools derived from the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The CD4+ response was Th1 dominant and the CD8+ response includes reactivity to the receptor binding domain. T cell reactivity to spike protein peptides, including receptor binding domain (RBD) was also observed [15] [12] .

ARCT 021 demonstrated robust protection with single dose in a primate challenge model and in a human ACE2 receptor transgenic mouse challenge model. It also showed robust protection with a single dose in mice depleted of B cells, whereas depletion of T lymphocytes yielded no protection following virus challenge [16] .

In preclinical studies, COVID-19 vaccine demonstrated positive immunogenic profile. All of the animals (100%) were seroconverted by day 19 at a single dose of 2µg. Moreover, it also showed that the self-transcribing and replicating (STARR™) mRNA induced higher seroconversion relative to conventional mRNA at equivalent doses. In contrast, anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibody titers were also higher. At day 30 post vaccination, 80% of mice vaccinated with 0.2 µg COVID-19 vaccine elicited antibodies that neutralised 50% of SARS-CoV-2 virus at titers 20 and above. The geometric mean titer of the 4 animals with titers >20 was 57.72 (SD = 2.032). At the same time point, 100% of animals vaccinated with 2µg of COVID-19 vaccine developed antibody titers >20, with geometric mean titer of 217.9 (SD = 1.365). However, 80% of animals vaccinated with 10µg of COVID-19 vaccine developed antibody titers of 320 or greater, which was the upper limit of dilution of this test [17] [18] .

In preclinical studies, COVID-19 vaccine showed a robust and balanced immune response. The dose dependent CD8+ T-cell response, with a clear response observed at all doses, as well as a balanced Th1/Th2 CD4+ T-cell immune response. The percent of CD8+ T-cells increased from the 4% baseline to 8% with increasing doses of STARR™ mRNA. The Th1/Th2 ratio for T-helper cells (CD4+) showed a strong TH1 response which does not change with increasing dose, indicated that the immune response remains balanced across all dose levels [17] .
