On September 5, 2022, Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing a presentation of initial data from a Phase 1 investigator-sponsored study evaluating VCN-01 in combination with durvalumab for patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M HNSCC). Data will be featured in a poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, being held both virtually and in Paris from September 9-13, 2022.
The information in this Item 7.01 and in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K includes “safe harbor” language pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, indicating that certain statements contained therein are “forward-looking” rather than historical.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 5, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing a presentation of initial data from a Phase 1 investigator-sponsored study evaluating VCN-01 in combination with durvalumab for patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M HNSCC). Data will be featured in a poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, being held both virtually and in Paris from September 9-13, 2022.
Key data and conclusions featured in the ESMO presentation include:
· | Safety: Treatment with VCN-01 had an acceptable safety profile when administered with durvalumab in the sequential regimen (single dose of VCN-01 administered 14 days prior to the first dose of durvalumab; n=14). |
o | The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were pyrexia, flu-like symptoms and increases in liver transaminases. |
o | TRAEs were dose-dependent, reversible and consistent with TRAEs previously described for other adenovirus-based products. |
· | Pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD): Based on toxicology and PK/PD analysis the recommended Phase 2 dose is 1x1013 viral particles (vp)/patient. |
· | Biological activity: Sustained blood levels of VCN-01 viral genomes and increased serum hyaluronidase levels were maintained for over six weeks. |
o | Observed an increase in CD8 T cells, a marker of tumor inflammation and an upregulation of PD-L1 in tumors. |
o | Analysis of serial tumor biopsies revealed differential gene expression profiles and downregulation of matrix-related pathways after VCN-01 administration. |
