MultiCell Immunotherapeutics And Oxis Biotech Sign Antibody-Drug Conjugate R&D, Product License And Commercialization Agreement

Form 10-Q for OXIS INTERNATIONAL INC

Overview

OXIS International, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Oxis Biotech, Inc, is an immuno-oncology company with a robust technology platform consisting of bispecific and trispecific scFv constructs, full-length antibodies, proprietary drug payloads, proprietary antibody-drug linkers, dual-drug payload antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific targeted ADCs, and NK cell and T-cell antibody directed cell-mediated cytotoxic (ADDCs) agents.

OXS-1550

OXS-1550 is a bispecific scFv recombinant fusion protein-drug conjugate composed of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 antibodies and a modified form of diphtheria toxin as its cytotoxic drug payload. CD19 is a membrane glycoprotein present on the surface of all stages of B-lymphocyte development, and is also expressed on most B-cell mature lymphoma cells and leukemia cells. CD22 is a glycoprotein expressed on B-lineage lymphoid precursors, including precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and often is co-expressed with CD19 on mature B-cell malignancies such as lymphoma.

OXS-1550 targets cancer cells expressing the CD19 receptor or CD22 receptor or both receptors. When OXS-1550 binds to cancer cells, the cancer cells internalize OXS-1550, and are killed due to the action of drug's cytotoxic diphtheria toxin payload. OXS-1550 has demonstrated success in a Phase 1 human clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma or leukemia.

OXS-4235, p62/SQSTM1 (Sequestosome-1) Inhibitor Drug Development Program

In humans, the p62/SQSTM1 protein is encoded by the SQSTM1 gene. The p62/SQSTM1 protein is a multifunctional protein involved in autophagy, cell signaling, tumorigenesis, and plays an important role at the crossroad between autophagy and cancer. Cell-cell interactions between multiple myeloma cells and bone marrow stromal cells activate signaling pathways that result in enhanced multiple myeloma cell growth, osteoclast formation, and inhibition of osteoblast differentiation.

Multiple myeloma remains an incurable malignancy with systematic morbidity and a median survival of 3-5 years. Multiple myeloma is characterized by aberrant proliferation of terminally differentiated plasma cells and impairment in apoptosis capacity. Due to the interactions between myeloma cells and cells of the bone marrow microenvironment, the osteolytic bone disease associated with myeloma is inextricably linked with tumor progression. High incidence of bone metastasis in multiple myeloma patients is frequently associated with severe bone pain and pathological bone fracture. Activated osteoclast levels and suppressed osteoblast levels are thought to play a role in multiple myeloma associated osteolytic bone disease.

While a diverse spectrum of novel agents has shown therapeutic potential for the treatment of multiple myeloma including bortezomib, lenalidomide and arsenic trioxide, high relapse rates and drug resistance continue to plague these therapies. Thus, novel targets and new therapeutics for the treatment of multiple myeloma are of critical importance for improved patient outcomes.

It has been demonstrated that the ZZ domain of the p62/SQSTM1 protein is responsible for increased multiple myeloma cell growth and associated osteoclast mediated bone disease. Dr. Xiang-Qun Xie and colleagues at ID4 Pharma LLC have developed novel chemical compounds (e.g., OXS-4235) which inhibit osteoclastic bone destruction in multiple myeloma. Oxis Biotech has exclusively licensed rights to OXS-4235 and other compounds for the treatment of multiple myeloma and associated osteolytic bone disease.

OXS-2175, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Drug Development Program

OXS-2175 is a small molecule therapeutic candidate which has shown promise in early-stage preclinical in vitro and in vivo models of triple-negative breast cancer. Oxis Biotech is investigating OXS-2175 formulated as an ADC therapy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.

Therapeutic Antibody-Drug Conjugates Drug Development Program

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new class of highly potent biopharmaceutical drugs designed as a targeted therapy for the treatment of cancer. By combining the unique targeting capabilities of monoclonal antibodies with the cancer-killing ability of cytotoxic drugs, antibody-drug conjugates allow sensitive discrimination between healthy and diseased tissue.

License Agreements

Daniel A. Vallera, Ph.D. License Agreement. Oxis executed an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Daniel A. Vallera, Ph.D. and his associate (jointly "Dr. Vallera"), to further develop and commercialize DT2219ARL (OXS-1550), a novel therapy for the treatment of various human cancers. Under the terms of the agreement, OXIS receives exclusive rights to conduct research and to develop, make, use, sell, and import DT2219ARL worldwide for the treatment of any disease, state or condition in humans. OXIS shall own all permits, licenses, authorizations, registrations and regulatory approvals required or granted by any governmental authority anywhere in the world that is responsible for the regulation of products such as DT2219ARL, including without limitation the Food and Drug Administration in the United States and the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products in the European Union. Under the agreement, Dr. Vallera will receive an upfront license fee, royalty fees, and certain milestone payments.

ID4 Pharma, LLC License Agreement. Pursuant to a patent license agreement with ID4 Pharma LLC, dated January 2, 2015 (the "ID4 License Agreement"), we received an exclusive, worldwide license to certain intellectual property, including intellectual property related to treating a p62-mediated disease including but not limited to multiple myeloma and other cancers. The terms of this license require us to pay ID4 Pharma royalties equal to three percent (3%) of net sales of products and twenty-five percent royalty of net sublicensing revenues. The license will expire upon expiration of the last patent contained in the licensed patent rights, unless terminated earlier. We may terminate the licensing agreement with ID4 Pharma by providing ID4 Pharma with a 30 day written notice.

Oxis shall pay the following cash amounts to ID4 upon the attainment of the following milestones:

(i) filing of an investigational new drug application with a competent regulatory authority anywhere in the world -- $50,000;

(ii) Initiation of Phase I Human Clinical Trial -- $50,000;

(iii) Initiation of Phase II Human Clinical Trial -- $100,000;

(iv) Initiation of pivotal Phase III Human Clinical Trial -- $250,000; and

(v) Receipt of the first marketing approval -- $250,000

MultiCell Immunotherapeutics, Inc. (MCIT) License Agreement. Oxis licensed exclusive rights to three antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that MCIT will prepare for further evaluation by Oxis as prospective therapeutics for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer, and multiple myeloma and associated osteolytic bone disease. Under the terms of the agreement, MCIT will develop three ADC product candidates which contain Oxis' lead drug candidates OXS-2175 and OXS-4235. Oxis paid MCIT a license fee of $500,000 and will reimburse MCIT up to $1.125 million for its development costs to make the three ADCs exclusively licensed to Oxis. Assuming all clinical development milestones are achieved and manufacturing rights to the three ADCs purchased, Oxis will pay MCIT an additional sum of $22.75 million and pay a royalty of 3% of net yearly worldwide sales upon marketing approval of the ADCs.
