"Active Biotech: Tasquinimod clinical development in multiple myeloma advances into combination therapy following completion of the initial phase of the ongoing trial in the US
Lund Sweden, October 3, 2021 - Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announces that the ongoing trial of tasquinimod in multiple myeloma has reached an important milestone. Ten patients have been treated with increasing doses of tasquinimod, which was generally well tolerated. The optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod, when used as a single agent in patients with multiple myeloma has been established at 1 mg per day after a one-week run in of 0.5 mg daily. This is similar to the treatment schedule used in previous studies of tasquinimod.
The trial will now advance to a previously planned combination part, in which treatment with tasquinimod will be tested in patients with multiple myeloma together with the orally administered antimyeloma agents ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd). Once an optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod for the IRd combination is established, an expansion cohort will be recruited to further document the biological activity of tasquinimod in myeloma patients. Key secondary endpoints will include antimyeloma activity using the response criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group...."

Lund, Sweden — November 30, 2021 – Active Biotech and its partner NeoTX announced that the preclinical data on naptumomab enhancing the potency of CAR-T cells was presented on Nov 12th at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 36th Annual Meeting at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington D.C.
Clinical CAR-T therapy currently has limited efficacy against solid tumors due to low trafficking to the tumor, limited cell expansion in patients, tumor antigen heterogeneity, and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. The presented data shows that naptumomab generates more potent CAR-T cells and acts synergistically against tumor cell lines in vitro.
The ability of naptumomab to activate T cells outside of the immunosuppressive microenvironment, promote T cell infiltration into the tumor and induce long-term memory responses strongly suggests that the combination of CAR-T cells with naptumomab may overcome the limited effect of CAR-T therapy against solid tumors.

Conclusion;
Our studies show that NAP generates more potent CAR-T cells and acts
synergistically with CAR-T against tumor cell lines in vitro. The ability of
NAP administration to activate T cells outside of the immunosuppressive
microenvironment (in the lymphoid organs), promote T cell infiltration into
the tumor and induce long-term memory responses, strongly suggests that
combination of CAR-T cells with NAP may overcome the limited effect of
CAR-T therapy against solid tumors. NAP is currently being evaluated in
clinical studies in combination with durvalumab [NCT03983954] and
docetaxel [NCT04880863]

Lund, December 10, 2021 - Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announced that the first subject has been dosed in the phase I clinical study of the newly developed eye-drop formulation of the company’s candidate drug laquinimod.
Laquinimod is being developed as a new treatment for non-infectious non-anterior uveitis and has the potential to be used in the first line treatment as an add-on to steroids as well as in the second line treatment for patients that have failed steroid treatment.
Preclinical data suggest that laquinimod may influence inflammatory eye diseases when given both as a tablet and directly onto the eye. Active Biotech has developed an eye-drop formulation of laquinimod with the aim to use it for the treatment of inflammatory eye diseases, initially in patients with non-infectious non-anterior uveitis. These are patients who lack sufficiently effective and safe treatments and in addition, there is currently no eye-drop treatment available.
A preclinical program shows that the laquinimod eye-drop is safe and well tolerated, and the safety of this new formulation will now be tested in a phase I clinical study in healthy subjects. The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of laquinimod eye-drops after single and repeat doses. Secondary endpoints include eye toxicity and pharmacokinetics.
I am happy to report that we have initiated the clinical development of the new formulation of laquinimod and I look forward to review the results from this initial safety study. Laquinimod has the potential to be used in the treatment of serious eye diseases, which is underscored by preclinical data. In the next step we will continue the clinical investigation of laquinimod in patients with uveitis, with the goal to provide a new treatment to this sight-threatening eye disease” said Helén Tuvesson, CEO of Active Biotech."

Lund Sweden, February 7, 2022 – Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the combination part of the phase Ib/IIa clinical study of tasquinimod in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In this part of the study treatment with tasquinimod will be tested together with the orally administered antimyeloma agents ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd).
Once an optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod for the IRd combination is established, an expansion cohort will be recruited to further document the biological activity of tasquinimod in myeloma patients. Key secondary endpoints will include antimyeloma activity using the response criteria of the International Myeloma Working Group.
As previously communicated, the optimal dose and schedule of tasquinimod, when used as a single agent in patients with multiple myeloma, was established at 1 mg per day after a one-week run in of 0.5 mg daily. Tasquinimod was generally well tolerated and the established treatment schedule and safety profile of tasquiniomod in myeloma patients resembled that previously demonstrated in solid tumors.
The study is conducted in an academic partnership with the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, with Dr. Dan Vogl as principal investigator. Detailed information about the study is available on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04405167).
“We are pleased to have enrolled the first patient to the combination part of the study where tasquinimod will be combined with a standard anti-myeloma treatment regimen. Our preclinical laboratory models suggest that this combination strategy may be a particularly effective way to utilize tasquinimod in myeloma therapy,” said Dr. Dan Vogl, Principal Investigator.
“The use of tasquinimod in combination with treatments used for earlier stage patients, is aligned with our current understanding of the mode of action of tasquinimod being able to block tumor sustaining signals from the bone marrow microenvironment. We are enthusiastic to follow the progress of the study ” said Helén Tuvesson, CEO, Active Biotech AB.

Lund, November 3, 2022 - Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announced that an abstract with preclinical data on tasquinimod, a small molecule immunomodulator, in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), has been accepted for presentation at the 64th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, December 10-13, 2022 (ASH 2022). The ASH 2022 abstracts were released today, November 3rd, 2022.
The abstract, titled Targeting S100A9 in the Inflammatory Myelodysplastic Hematopoietic Niche Reprograms the Functional Properties of CD271+ Mesenchymal Stromal Cells will be presented by Dr. Manja Wobus, University Hospital Dresden, Germany.
The abstract is the result of a collaboration between Active Biotech and an academic group in Dresden, Germany which aims at addressing the unmet medical need to treat MDS. The presented data show that a subpopulation of mesenchymal stromal cells, i.e. CD271+ MSC’s, is responsible for the diminished hematopoietic support. Tasquinimod modulates the function of these cells and thereby enhances their potential to support hematopoiesis in vitro.
“These new preclinical results suggest that tasquinimod treatment has the potential to increase the hematopoiesis in MDS patients. We are exited to get the opportunity to present our data at such a prestigious conference as ASH, which manifests the external scientific interest in the project,” said Helén Tuvesson, CEO of Active Biotech.

"Active Biotech reports intriguing intraocular concentrations achieved in a clinical biodistribution study of laquinimod eye drops
Sep 10, 2024 08:30 (CEST) Regulatory
Lund, September 10 2024 – Active Biotech (NASDAQ STOCKHOLM: ACTI) today announced an update to the ongoing clinical phase I biodistribution study of laquinimod eye drops in patients undergoing vitrectomy.
A proprietary formulation of laquinimod for corneal application was developed, taking the specific physico-chemical characteristics of this agent into account, to facilitate that a clinically relevant intraocular therapeutic concentration of laquinimod can be obtained.
The study, which is being conducted by principal investigator Professor Dr Nguyen at the Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, US, aims to evaluate if laquinimod when administered as eye drops reaches the anterior and the posterior chambers of the eye, to support further development in patients with Uveitis.
During a 14-day preoperative administration of laquinimod as eye drops, all the three subjects in the first dose group received 0.6mg laquinimod once daily. All subjects, had significant concentrations of laquinimod in vitreous as well as in the anterior chamber fluid when sampled during surgery. This supports distribution of laquinimod from the cornea and sclera into the anterior chamber and onwards to the posterior parts of the eye. These data are also consistent with results previously obtained in rabbits and in an in vitro bovine corneal model of laquinimod penetration into the eye.
The bioanalytical results also show that administration of laquinimod eye drops leads to quantities of laquinimod in vitreous humour at therapeutically relevant concentrations, as determined from prior studies in multiple sclerosis patients. Anecdotally, a potent anti-inflammatory ocular effect of laquinimod was noted in the anterior chamber of one patient following 14-days of application as per the protocol, in absence of any concomitant corticosteroid treatment.
These initial findings are important to the further development of laquinimod for ocular disorders, as they unequivocally establish trans-corneal-scleral passage of laquinimod. The current study design involves enrolling additional patients at different dose-levels with top-line results expected in late 2024/early 2025.
“It is tremendously satisfying to learn that topical laquinimod, even at a low dose, can have the ability to penetrate into the anterior chamber, and more importantly, the vitreous of human eyes,” said Quan Đông Nguyen, MD, Professor of Ophthalmology, Medicine and Pediatrics at the Byers Eye Institute and the Stanford University School of Medicine. “The potential applications of a topical formulation and delivery that reaches the vitreous and possibly posterior segment are quite significant and can lead to very important and novel therapeutic implications. Our talented team at Byers and Stanford is very excited to proceed to complete the Study.”
