Kadimastem and iTolerance Submit Initial Targeted Engagement for Regulatory Advice on CBER Products (INTERACT) Meeting Request with FDA for Potential Cure for Type 1 Diabetes

Kadimastem Ltd.

Kadimastem Ltd. (TASE:KDST), a clinical cell therapy company developing a cell therapy treatment for ALS and a potential cure for diabetes and its diabetic product development partner, the American company iTolerance Inc., have asked the FDA for a preliminary meeting (INTERACT) regarding the companies’ joint diabetes treatment in development, iTOL-102, which does not require continuous suppression of the immune system. The companies signed a collaboration agreement several months ago to co-develop cell technology as a potential cure for diabetes without the need for chronic immunosuppression and received a total grant of about US$1 million from the international BIRD fund. This is the first of a three-step process, with the goal of designing and commencing an FDA-approved clinical study of iTOL-102. The second step would be to submit a pre-IND application based on the feedback from the INTERACT meeting, followed by an IND application to begin clinical trials at locations worldwide. In May 2023, the companies announced their research collaboration agreement to co-develop and commercialize a breakthrough and innovative regenerative technology to cure diabetes without the need for chronic immunosuppression and received a grant in the aggregate amount of US$1m (with a budget of about US$2 million) from the Binational Israel-U.S. Industrial R&D (BIRD) Foundation. As part of the agreement, the companies are considering expanding their cooperation and advancing the development of iTOL-102 which combines Kadimastem’s advanced cell product for the treatment of diabetes called IsletRx, and iTolerance’s iTOL-100 immunomodulatory technology. The purpose of the meeting would be to present the iTOL-102 development program and specifically discuss the chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) program, the definitive proof of concept study design in light of preliminary data, and general plans for non-clinical safety and clinical development. The parties intend to continue the development of the product and are even considering expanding the cooperation, for the benefit of product development, including through the establishment of a joint company in the United States. IsletRx is comprised of clinical-grade clusters of human pancreatic islet like cells (ILCs) with the ability to secrete insulin. IsletRx cells can detect the sugar levels in the body and produce the required amounts of insulin and glucagon, iTolerance will provide its platform technology (iTOL-100) intended to enable the transplantation of allogeneic cells without tissue matching and without the need for chronic treatments that suppress the immune system of the transplant recipient (immunosuppression). Kadimastem Chief Executive Officer Asaf Shiloni added, “The INTERACT meeting is an important step forward for this development program. We are dedicated to advancing this program and providing diabetic patients with a potential solution to live without the need for insulin injections.” Dr. Anthony Japour, Chief Executive Officer of iTolerance, commented, “We are pleased with the continued progress of our research collaboration with Kadimastem and look forward to meeting with the FDA. We believe that this collaboration has the potential to provide a much-needed, innovative cure for patients with Type 1 Diabetes and look forward to building on our continued momentum.” At Kadimastem we envision being a global leader in cell therapy.Our passion and commitment keep us moving forward, to develop innovative regenerative therapies for incurable diseases. Our goal is to treat millions of patients around the world with that technology. This document may include forward-looking information as defined in the Securities Law, 5728 – 1968.

PathAI Announces New NASH/MASH Advisory Network to Guide Evidence Generation and Regulatory Strategy for AI-Powered Digital Pathology Product Development

PathAI

PathAI, a leading provider of precision pathology solutions, today announced the formation of a new advisory network to inform the company’s vision to leverage AI-powered digital pathology to improve outcomes for individuals with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (NASH/MASH). According to the American Liver Foundation, approximately 2-5% of adults in the U.S. have NASH/MASH, a disease with no FDA-approved treatments currently available. Disease incidence has risen from 1.51% in 2010 to 2.79% in 2020. The American Liver Foundation predicts that by 2030, NASH/MASH will be the most frequent reason for liver transplants in the U.S., underscoring the severe impact of this disease. Given the burden of NASH/MASH and lack of available treatment options for patients, attention from industry and academia alike is increasing, with numerous clinical trials in progress to develop novel, efficacious therapies for patients. PathAI has worked closely with experts in the field of NASH/MASH for years, including leading researchers, academics, patient advocacy groups, regulatory bodies and biotechnology and pharma partners, contributing to the development of solutions for this challenging disease. Previously, this close collaboration with NASH/MASH subject matter experts led to the development and validation of AIM-NASH ™, a tool that promises to reduce the impact of pathologist scoring variability on clinical trial outcomes by assisting pathologists in grading and staging key histologic features of NASH/MASH 1,2,as well as NASH Explore ™, an AI-powered panel of more than 1000 quantitative Human Interpretable Features (HIFs) that spatially characterize NASH/MASH tissue biopsy microarchitecture at the zonal and cellular level from H&E whole slide images. Now, PathAI will build on that collaboration by bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders across academia, medicine, regulatory science, patient advocacy, and industry to inform the evolution of the company portfolio. The network’s first meeting was held in September and will be held quarterly moving forward. “Scoring liver biopsies by an expert pathologist is a crucial aspect of NASH/MASH clinical trials. However, this benchmark tool is limited both in the availability of liver pathologists and intra/inter-observer variability of their evaluation,” Pierre Bedossa, Professor of Pathology at Groupe Hospitalier Paris Nord and visiting professor at the Institute of Cellular Medicine at Newcastle University, and PathAI advisor, pointed out. “AIM-NASH developed by PathAI marks clearly a step forward. This tool alleviates some of the limitations by providing a trustworthy AI-based evaluation of liver biopsy functioning under pathologist supervision. Promising results of AIM-NASH in the context of NASH clinical trials strongly suggest that this tool may become essential to speed up drug evaluation and development for the benefit of patients.” Other members of the advisor network include: Stephen A. Harrison, medical director for Pinnacle Clinical Research and the president of Summit Clinical Research. Karoline Lackner, professor of pathology at the Medical University of Graz. Rohit Loomba, professor of medicine and director of hepatology at the University of California at San Diego. Romil Saxena, professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and a diplomate of the American Board of Pathology. G. Mani Subramanian, founder, OrsoBio Chris Leptak, Senior Vice President; drugs and biologics at Greenleaf Health, Inc. “As a leader in digital pathology for liver diseases, we recognize the responsibility we have to advance the science towards effective treatments for NASH/MASH with cutting-edge technology,” said Andy Beck, MD, PhD, co-founder and CEO of PathAI. “At the same time, we recognize that only by incorporating the ideas and expertise of the leading minds in MASH will we truly achieve our mutual goal of improving patient outcomes for MASH patients.” The PathAI team will be attending the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases annual meeting November 10-14 in Boston.

CK Life Sciences Presenting Preclinical Data for Its Investigational Dual-Antigen Cancer Vaccines, Co-targeting PRAME and PD-L1, at the 2023 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting

CK Life Sciences Int'l., (Holdings) Inc.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 1 November 2023 - CK Life Sciences Int'l., (Holdings) Inc. is presenting preclinical data for its investigational dual-antigen cancer vaccines, co-targeting PRAME (preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma) and PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1), on November 4 at the 2023 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, USA. The investigational cancer vaccines evaluated in the preclinical study contain antigenic sequences of PRAME and PD-L1 intended to induce anti-cancer immune responses. PRAME is a cancer antigen highly expressed in many different types of cancers and has been associated with different oncogenic processes. PD-L1 represents one of the most important immune checkpoint antigens highly expressed on cancer cells to limit T-cell activation in the tumour microenvironment. "CK Life Sciences has a growing pipeline of cancer vaccines in various stages of development. The preclinical efficacy results of our dual-targeting PRAME/ PD-L1 cancer vaccines in liver cancer are promising and we hope to start clinical trials in the coming years," said Melvin Toh, Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer at CK Life Sciences. "Liver cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in Asia and remains a major unmet medical need. We plan to investigate the PRAME/ PD-L1 dual-targeting cancer vaccines further in liver cancer and other cancer types known to over-express PRAME and PD-L1." DETAILS ON POSTER PRESENTATION: Abstract 1336: Authors: Session Date and Time In this preclinical study, we investigated whether dual-antigen cancer vaccines co-targeting PRAME and PD-L1 could suppress tumour growth in both prophylactic and therapeutic syngeneic mouse hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) models. Two recombinant fusion protein vaccines comprised of PD-L1 and PRAME with or without GM-CSF were synthesised and formulated with a Toll-like receptor 9 agonist CpG oligodeoxynucleotide and aluminum hydroxide for vaccination. In the prophylactic tumour model study, the vaccines were administrated subcutaneously twice at a two-week interval before implantation of mouse HCC cells expressing PRAME, followed by weekly vaccination. In the therapeutic model study, the vaccines were administrated weekly into the animals after tumour cell implantation. Body weight and tumour volume were measured three times a week. All mice experienced a recoverable body weight loss without any abnormal behavior or reduction of activity after vaccination. In the prophylactic model (n=10 mice), both fusion protein vaccines significantly inhibited tumour growth, with 76.4% ( P<0.01 ) and 59.5% ( P<0.05 ) tumour growth inhibition (TGI) compared to control group, respectively. Importantly, there were some vaccinated mice without palpable tumour mass at the end of the study. These results were consistent with that found in the therapeutic model study (n = 10 mice), in which both vaccines significantly inhibited tumour growth, with 43.4% ( P<0.01 ) and 40.7% ( P<0.05 ) TGI, respectively, and prolonged animal survival compared to the control group (P<0.01). The results of this preclinical study clearly highlight the potential of simultaneously targeting PRAME and PD-L1 by fusion protein vaccination in cancer immunotherapy.

About PRAME PRAME is a protein commonly expressed by cancer cells, including melanoma (1), liver cancer (2), lung cancer (3) and breast cancer (4). PRAME contributes to the development and spread of cancer cells, and studies have shown that high levels of PRAME are associated with poor outcomes in cancer patients (2,4). In recent years, researchers have been exploring ways to target PRAME using immunotherapy, such as T-cell therapy and cancer vaccines, as a potential treatment for cancer. About PD-L1 PD-L1 is a protein expressed by certain immune cells and cancer cells. It plays a role in suppressing anti-cancer immune responses by binding to a receptor called programmed death-1 (PD-1) on T-cells, limiting the activation of T-cells, thereby helping cancer cells evade the immune system. Antibodies that can block the interaction of PD-L1 and PD-1 have been approved for the treatment of certain types of cancer. Recent studies have shown the presence of PD-L1-specific T-cells in both healthy individuals and cancer patients, which suggests that targeting PD-L1 with T-cell therapy or cancer vaccines could be a promising approach for cancer treatment (5).
