Q2 Interim Report October - December 2023

About Hamlet BioPharma

 

Hamlet BioPharma is an innovative biotechnology company that develops scientific discoveries into drugs for the treatment of cancer and infections. The goal is to help address unmet medical needs in large patient groups, in need of improved cancer treatments or alternatives to antibiotics. The company is leveraging highly innovative scientific discoveries and an extensive IP portfolio, to take these innovative drugs through mechanistic and preclinical phases, through the development of drug production technology to the clinic. Three projects in clinical development are in Phase II trials.

 

Bladder cancer treatment. The investigational new drug Alpha1H has shown efficacy in the treatment of early bladder cancer and has potential as neoadjuvant for this and additional patient groups. The clinical program is progressing towards Phase III and the company is in a dialogue with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the continued clinical program. Alpha1H was recently awarded Fast track status by FDA.

 

Immunotherapy for bacterial infections. Immunotherapy has great potential as a complement to antibiotics. Treatment of infections with the IL-1 receptor antagonist IL-1RA has shown potent effects in in animal models, proving that immunotherapy may protect against inflammation and symptoms. Surprisingly, the treatment also accelerates the clearance of bacteria with similar efficacy as antibiotics. The clinical program is progressing with two Phase II studies, and the pipeline contains highly competitive new molecules for future clinical development.

 

The need for novel therapies is significant and cancer and infection are major threats to health, worldwide. The prevalence of bladder cancer is high and the threat of antibiotic resistance is growing. The drug candidates developed by Hamlet BioPharma hold the promise of improving the health of large patient groups, by providing therapeutic alternatives or complements to more toxic cancer drugs and to antibiotics.

 

 

OPENING REMARKS

 

The second quarter of the fiscal year 2023-2024 and first part of the third quarter have been among the most successful in the company’s history.

 

• Major advances in the clinical program for bladder cancer therapy. Strong, dose-dependent anti-tumor effects were detected in Alpha1H-treated patients, for a combination of clinical and molecular endpoints. Treatment resulted in a complete or partial response in 82% of the tumors treated with the higher dose and in 45% treated with the lower dose of Alpha1H.

Further analysis identified the activation of a broad immune response with robust anti-tumor potential in bladder cancer patients treated with Alpha1H.

Similar immune responses were detected in patients treated with Alpha1H and the drug of choice for early bladder cancer, called BCG, confirming the potential of Alpha1H. Thus, in addition to killing tumor cells, Alpha1H activates a broad immune response with an anti-tumor potential.

 

These dose-dependent anti-tumor effects identify Alpha1H, which stands out due to its low toxicity, as a promising investigational new drug and support the potential of Alpha1H treatment in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

 

• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Alpha1H Fast Track Designation for the treatment of bladder cancer, recognizing the potential of this innovative therapy to address an unmet medical need.

 

• The immunotherapy projects are advancing and the drug candidate IL-1RA (anakinra) has shown great potential for the treatment of bacterial infections. A recent paper clearly shows that anakinra prevents severe infections of the urinary tract in mice, including kidney infections that may cause sepsis. Importantly, the treatment was efficient also against infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria, defining this therapy as a potential alternative or complement to antibiotics.

 

• The successfully completed rights issue secured about MSEK 47 in new capital to the company, ensuring continued development of its innovative treatments and rich project portfolio, strengthening our position for discussions with potential commercial partners.

 

We would like to thank our shareholders for their commitment to the company and support during the fund raising process. We also thank the large group of experts who have supported the company during this period, and especially all those involved with our day-to-day activities, whose commitment and support is invaluable.

Company overview

 

The achievements during the second quarter of this fiscal year and the significant milestones reached, define the start of a new era for Hamlet BioPharma. The Fast Track status for Alpha1H is a recognition of the company’s efforts in bladder cancer but also generally of our drug development competence and the efficiency of our organization. The successful financing round, completed during the first part of the third quarter further emphasizes the shareholders’ trust in the company and a significant interest from new groups of investors, willing to join the company as shareholders. The fund-raising process has increased the visibility of our drug candidates and highlighted their future potential, as well as our model of competence-driven drug development, taking front line science and technology through formal drug development to the clinic. 

 

Since the completion of the merger of Hamlet Pharma and SelectImmune Pharma in the first quarter, Hamlet BioPharma owns a broad portfolio of pharmaceutical projects for the treatment of cancer and infections of which three are in phase II clinical trials. Two of the projects have already shown positive results in earlier clinical studies and the clinical development is ongoing. The portfolio includes a total of fifteen patent families with more than 60 patents for cancer and infections, including tuberculosis.

 

Hamlet BioPharmas pipeline.

 

I. Alpha1-oleate for bladder cancer

Hamlet BioPharma is developing an entirely new class of anti-cancer therapeutics for multiple cancer indications based on the discovery of its proprietary drug complex HAMLET (‘Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells’). HAMLET is derived from the human breast milk protein, alpha-lactalbumin, and represents a groundbreaking therapeutic solution with high tumor-killing capacity, high target specificity, killing >40 different types of tumor cells and no demonstrated toxicity. As such, it has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. 

 

Hamlet BioPharma is now advancing the second-generation drug product of HAMLET, called ‘Alpha1H’, along the clinical development pipeline as anti-cancer therapeutic for early stage bladder cancer (non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, NMIBC). The company is focusing on NMIBC given the unmet need for new, more effective and safe treatment options in this large and growing patient group. Bladder cancer has the highest recurrence rates (70%) and treatment costs per patient among all cancer types (total costs in Europe: >€4.9 billion). Hamlet BioPharma is currently developing the clinical trial program for Alpha1H in NMIBC patients towards Phase III trials. In view of its broad anti-cancer effects, there is significant interest to also develop Alpha1H for other cancer indications.

 

Strong anti-tumor effects detected in Alpha1H-treated patients, for a combination of clinical and molecular endpoints.

The combined data analysis from the two clinical study parts has now been completed, including extensive laboratory analyses of patient samples. The results, which have been submitted for publication, are summarized below. 

1. Reduction in tumor size 

Treatment resulted in a complete or partial response in 82% of the tumors treated with 8.5 mM and in 45% treated with 1.7 mM of Alpha1H. 

2. Changes in the tumor 

• Treatment resulted in tumor fragmentation and release of fragments and cells into the urine. This effect increased markedly with the higher dose of Alpha1H. 
• The tumor cells died by apoptosis, after taking up Alpha1H. 
• Tissues left in the patient after treatment had lost their tumor characteristics and become more “healthy-like”, as shown by gene expression analysis. 

 

Fast track designation for Alpha 1H in bladder cancer treatment

The company has recently received the FDA Fast Track Designation for Alpha1H, our drug candidate for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In collaboration with our American associate, Target Health, we reached this essential milestone marked by the FDA's 'Fast Track Granted' notification in November, 2023. This achievement builds on the momentum already gained from the FDA's earlier approval of the investigational new drug application (IND) for Alpha1H in July 2023.

 

Alpha1H stands out for its anti-cancer efficacy, derived from a synthetic version of the HAMLET protein-lipid complex, and has demonstrated its ability to target and eliminate cancer cells with high precision, all while maintaining a clean safety profile without severe toxicity in our studies. This Fast Track Designation grants a range of strategic advantages, including more intensive guidance from the FDA during the clinical development phase for Alpha1H in bladder cancer. Hence, it brings Alpha1H closer to the U.S. market and is strengthening the company’s position for discussions with potential commercial partners.

 

Alpha1H activates a broad immune response with strong anti-tumor potential in bladder cancer patients

After the second quarter the company announced the unexpected finding of a strong positive immune response in the bladder of patients treated with Alpha1H. An immune response with strong anti-tumor potential was identified in the treated patients, using advanced technology for protein identification. This immune response was rapidly activated by Alpha1H after the first treatment and persisted during the one-month treatment period. The immune response was also found to also increase with the treatment dose.

 

The activation of the immune response is another important mechanism of action, explaining the potency of Alpha1H. Through the immune response, the tumor can be attacked and neutralized, as Alpha1H creates a multifunctional treatment environment in the tissue. The manuscript describing this study is under revision for publication.

 

Hamlet BioPharma is now proceeding with the third part of the ongoing clinical trial in Prague with Alpha1H in bladder cancer patients. The results of the study will be used to optimize the design further for the Phase III clinical trials in dialogue with the FDA.

 

II. Immunotherapy – a new approach to treating bacterial infections

In parallel with Alpha1H, Hamlet BioPharma is focusing on developing new drugs for the treatment of infection and inflammation. The company is developing immunotherapy against bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics. Two Phase II studies on immunotherapy are ongoing; one focusing on bladder pain, which is a difficult-to-treat condition defined by chronic pain. The use of the substance anakinra (IL-1RA), which is patented by the company for the treatment of pain conditions in the bladder, has shown promising effects in patients receiving off-label treatment.

 

In a recently published paper, the company's use of the drug anakinra in an animal model was shown to prevent serious urinary and kidney infections, which are very common and could lead to sepsis. As such, anakinra has the potential to function as an alternative or complement to antibiotics, with demonstrated efficiency even against antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. This approach opens up possibilities to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria and shifts the focus from direct bacterial elimination to boosting the host's antibacterial defenses, offering an alternative solution to the growing global health threat of antibiotic resistance as identified by the WHO. A clinical Phase II trial of anakinra (IL-1RA) is ongoing in collaboration with international specialists in Germany. 

 

 

 

III. Financing and business development

 

After the end of the second quarter, Hamlet BioPharma AB has successfully completed a rights issue of B shares, securing approximately MSEK 47. With strong investor confidence, about MSEK 13 of the issue was subscribed in advance through subscription commitments. Technically, the rights issue amounts to MSEK 80.

 

The subscription period for the Rights Issue ended on February 7, 2024. The Rights Issue was subscribed to approximately MSEK 47 with or without the support of subscription rights. B-shares, corresponding to approximately MSEK 32.7, were subscribed with the support of subscription rights and B-shares, corresponding to approximately MSEK 14, were subscribed without the support of subscription rights. Hamlet BioPharma thus achieved the goal of raising about MSEK 40, which is the capital needed for continued development. Hamlet BioPharma intends to use the net proceeds from the Rights Issue to drive the development of Alpha1H as a drug against bladder cancer, the IL-1 receptor antagonist as a treatment for bladder pain and acute cystitis and to develop promising new substances in the pipeline up to clinical studies.

 

Conversations with potential licensing partners and investors seeking Phase III ready products are ongoing. Furthermore, Hamlet BioPharma has entered into commercial collaborations with two premier international advisory firms within the healthcare sector, who have acted as advisors on numerous deals for companies worldwide. Leveraging their global networks and deep industry knowledge, these advisory firms offer expert support to negotiate commercial partnerships and strategic alliances. Due to their analytics and networks of contacts from innovators to ‘’Big-Pharma’’ the advisory firms are uniquely placed to support deal making and strategic planning.
