TAPIMMUNE
Harnessing the Power of Immune System
Leading Immunotherapy Approach:
CANCER
• Making tumors visible to T-cells
• Stimulating T-killer cells AND T-helper cells
• Applicable to broad patient populations
INFECTIOUS DISEASE
• Up-regulation of Antigen Presentation
• Stimulating T-killer cells & T-helper cells
• Applicable Multiple Infectious Diseases and Biothreats
The Immunotherapy Space
New Frontier in Treatment of Cancer
Immunotherapies
• Immune Checkpoint Blocade, Monoclonal antibodies (Roche) T-cell
Therapies
T-Cell Therapies
• Ex-Vivo: Adoptive T-cell transfer (LBIO;Juno); Dendritic cell transfer
(NWBIO;DNDN; PBMD)
• In Vivo: Antigen stimulation (ONTY;GALE;IMUC)
TapImmune is Unique:
Platforms to stimulate BOTH Antigen presentation & T Cell stimulation
(TPIV)
GOAL: To Stimulate the Immune System to Effectively KILL
Tumors
The TapImmune Approach
Why we are different!
Prime BOTH sides of the tumor Killing equation
Proprietary peptide antigens used to stimulate a broad based
• T - Helper cell response (CD4) LONG-LIVED
• KILLER T-cells to actually KILL the tumor (CD8)
These Proprietary Antigens allow us to treat:
• Wider patient populations (EG: +50% Vs Roche Herceptin 15%)
• Multiple Indications
• Multiple Therapeutic Areas (Cancer and Infectious Disease)
SOLUTION: Most COMPREHENSIVE immunotherapeutic in development
Product Pipeline
Clincal Trial - Breast
TPIV100/110
Trial 1: Her2neu Breast Cancer - Mayo Clinic Rochester MN
• HER2/neu positive breast cancer is one of most aggressive forms
• HER2/neu is overexpressed in ~ 30% breast cancer patients (total
220,000 /yr)
• Roche’s monoclonal antibody, Herceptin (current standard of care) can
only treat ~ 20% of these patients (+$6 billion sales in 2013)
• Herceptin does not stimulate Killer T-cells – it slows/retards tumor
growth
• In Contrast: We believe TapImmune’s comprehensive combination of
Killers and Helpers has the potential to provide Long Lasting Immune
Response in upto 84% of the HER2/neu positive patient population.
• A $ Multi-Billion product potential meeting an UNSATISFIED CLINICAL
NEED in a very LARGE Market
Herceptin Facts:
Late Stage Survival improved by 4.5 Months.
Early stage treatment resulted in a 9.5% improvement on recurrence.
70% of Her2neu+ patients do NOT respond to treatment
HER2/neu Clinical Status
Her2neu Breast Cancer - Mayo Clinic Rochester MN
Phase l
• Class II antigens (4 epitopes NPE) discovered in breast
cancer patients - Clin. Cancer Res. (2010) 16, 825-83
• 22 Patients post Herceptin
• 6 x monthly intradermal + GMCSF
 Interim safety chectkpoint completed
 Positive Immune responses on first 6 patients (interim
data)
• Excellent Results – Support progression to Phase ll
Phase lb/ll
Class II + Class I (p373-382) antigens (4+1)
• To start Q4, 2014
• Small safety study
• 100-150 patient multicenter phase II
ImmunoTherapeutic TPIV110
Most Comprehensive Her2neu Breast Cancer Immunotherapeutic
Leading HER2/neu Vaccine Candidate in Development
Peptide Antigens to stimulate BOTH:
• T-helper cells – Long Lasting
•
•
Antigens discovered in breast cancer patients
Naturally Processed Epitopes (NPE’s)
• Killer T-cells (p373-382) - Kills Tumor Cells
Compared to NeuVax by Galena:
4-5x greater KILLING activity against human tumor cell targets
See: J.Immonol. (2013) 190, 479-488
Clinical Trial Ovarian
TPIV200
Trial 2: Stage II/IIl Ovarian & Breast Cancer - Mayo Clinic MN
• Folate Receptor Alpha is expressed over 95% of ovarian cancers, for which
the only treatment options are surgery and chemotherapy
• Very important and urgent clinical need for a new therapeutic.
• Time to recurrence is relatively short for this type of cancer and survival
prognosis is extremely poor after recurrence.
• US alone, approximately 30,000 ovarian cancer patients newly diagnosed
every year.
• Phase lb/2 advancement expected in late 2014.
• Orphan Drug Application – Pending FDA
• Another $ Multi-Billion product potential with an UNSATISFIED CLINICAL
NEED
URGENT CLINICAL NEED – LARGE MARKET – ORPHAN DRUG – FAST TRACK?
Clinical Trial Ovarian
TPIV200
Trial 2: Stage II/IIl Ovarian & Breast Cancer - Mayo Clinic MN
23 patients with Stage II-III Breast, Ovarian, Peritoneal, Fallopian
Tube Cancer
 Interim safety checkpoint completed
 Positive Immune responses observed
Promising Interim Results – Support progression to Phase ll
Phase ll Expected to Start in 2014 with Orphan Drug Application - FDA Pending
These Folate Alpha Antigens Also Applicable to Triple Negative Breast Cancer
