About acute Graft-versus-Host Disease

Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease occurs in patients within 100 days of undergoing a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, where the transplanted cells initiate an immune response and attack the transplant recipient鈥檚 organs, causing inflammation of the skin, liver and/or gastro-intestinal tract and leading to significant morbidity and mortality. GI involvement is associated with severe complications such as profound diarrhea, abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, and death. These complications are often life-threatening, with increased mortality risk, due to the challenges of managing severe GI inflammation and the associated risks of infection, malnutrition, and organ failure. The standard first line therapy for treating aGvHD is the use of systemic steroids. If patients do not respond to steroids, they are considered Steroid Resistant (SR) and other agents can be administered. Currently the only agent approved for treating SR aGvHD after failure of steroid treatment is ruxolitinib, which is currently approved for this indication in USA and has received approval from the European Medicines Agency鈥檚 Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) on March 25, 2022.

About MaaT013 (Xervteg庐)

黑料社鈥檚 Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies (MET) are designed to leverage a full microbiome ecosystem to restore balance and maximize clinical benefits for patients with severe, treatment-induced dysbiosis in acute diseases. MaaT013 (Xervyteg庐) is a full-ecosystem, off-the-shelf, standardized, pooled-donors, enema Microbiome Ecosystem TherapyTM for acute, hospital use. It is characterized by a consistently high diversity and richness of microbial species and the presence of ButycoreTM (a group of bacterial species known to produce anti-inflammatory metabolites). MaaT013 (Xervyteg庐) aims to restore the symbiotic relationship between the patient鈥檚 functional gut microbiome and their immune system to correct the responsiveness and tolerance of immune functions and thus reduce steroid-resistant, gastrointestinal (GI)-aGvHD. MaaT013 (Xervyteg庐) has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Primary endpoint readout, GI-ORR at D28, of the ARES Phase 3 clinical trial in aGvHD expected for mid Q4-2024. Production of batches of MaaT013 destined for clinical supply in the US. Participation in a randomized multicenter investigator-sponsored Phase 2 trial evaluating MaaT033 concomitant to anti-PD1 treatment in advanced lung cancer patients. This trial is sponsored by Institut Gustave Roussy, steering cutting-edge research in the microbiome field, as part of the IMMUNOLIFE program, a consortium including researchers and biotech companies.

This collaboration further strengthens 黑料社鈥檚 leading position in oncology and the medical community鈥檚 interest in microbiome drug candidates.鈥� 听Pipeline highlights MET-N MaaT013 In hemato-oncology: In March 2024, the Company announced the launch of a retrospective multicenter trial called CHRONOS in Europe. Its objective is to provide the Company efficacy data for 3rd-line therapies for patients not receiving MaaT013 or any microbiome intervention. This study was not requested by regulatory authorities and does not impact cash projections as funding has already been secured. In April 2024, at the 50th annual meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), the Company presented positive efficacy and safety results in 140 patients treated with MaaT013 in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) as part of the Early Access Program (EAP). The data presented demonstrates a clear reduction in disease burden and an improved Overall Survival (OS), and highlighted MaaT013’s good safety profile. The results in the 49-patient 鈥淎RES-like鈥� subgroup, with the same characteristics as those of the Phase 3 ARES trial (NCT04769895) demonstrated 63% GI-ORR at D28 and Overall Survival (OS) of 49% at one year and 42% at 18 months. This represents a significant increase when compared with the historical data published by Abedin et al. (used by the medical community as the most recent reference) which showed a limited 15% OS at one year in a similar population. Primary endpoint readout, GI-ORR at D28, of the ARES Phase 3 clinical trial in aGvHD is expected for mid Q4-2024. In immuno-oncology: In March 2024, the Company informed on the completion of patient recruitment for the Phase 2a clinical trial PICASSO (NCT04988841) sponsored by AP-HP and in collaboration with INRAE and Institut Gustave Roussy, evaluating MaaT013 in combination with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI). Topline results expected in Q4 2024/Q1 2025.   MaaT033 In immuno-oncology: 黑料社 announces its participation in the IMMUNOLIFE RHU[1] program, a consortium including academic partners, such as Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR), a world-renowned center in the field of cancer treatment, and biotech companies. IMMUNOLIFE aims to solve the significant problem of primary resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) observed in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients following antibiotic uptake. MaaT033, an oral, pooled fecal microbiotherapy, developed by 黑料社 will be tested as a concomitant treatment to anti-PD1 therapy to increase the ICI response rate in this Phase 2 randomized multicenter clinical trial including advanced NSCLC patients. Participation in this programwill also grant access to clinical and metagenomic data from听a large cohort of cancer patients (bladder, lung and renal) which will be used to improve 黑料社鈥檚 artificial intelligence (AI) gutPrint庐 platform. The related costs for 黑料社 are limited to clinical product supply in line with previous cash projections. In neurodegenerative diseases: In February 2024, the Company announced that the Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewed safety data in the first 8 patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) treated with MaaT033 in the Phase 1 clinical trial IASO (NCT05889572). The DSMB, composed of 4 independent experts, including an ALS patient association representative, concluded that safety was good and recommended that the trial continue without modifications. 黑料社 announces the completion of patient recruitment for IASO.   MET-C MaaT034 In immuno-oncology: In April 2024, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego, California, the Company presented new in vitro data characterizing the metabolites produced by MaaT034 and their impact on immune modulation. MaaT034 may be the first full-co-cultivated ecosystem therapy for immuno-oncology, combining a diverse array of supportive species with functional networks of interest to improve the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. The results demonstrate that MaaT034 produced key metabolites, recognized as promoting gut barrier restoration and modulating immune responses. This represents a significant advancement in understanding the mechanism of action (MoA) of co-cultured microbiome therapies developed by 黑料社 marking a major step towards clinical evaluation.   Corporate update In March 2024, the Company announced the appointment of Jonathan Chriqui, PharmD, as Chief Business Officer and member of the executive management team. Jonathan will be responsible for 黑料社鈥檚 business development and partnering strategies, increasing the Company鈥檚 ability to secure partnership deals, in line with its strategic objectives. 黑料社 has engaged in active discussions
