    Highlights
                  

    • Industry-leading pipeline targeting a total potential market opportunity of $12 billion in retinal vascular disorders
       
    • First patients dosed in Phase 2 study (‘KALAHARI’) evaluating multiple injections of THR-149, a potent plasma kallikrein inhibitor, for the treatment of DME. Part A data expected by mid-year
       
    • THR-687, a pan-RGD integrin antagonist, Phase 2 DME study planned to start by mid-year, following positive Phase 1 data released in 2020
       
    • The Company has strengthened the management team with the appointments of Tom Graney, CFA, based in Boston as CFO, Grace Chang M.D., PhD, based in LA as CMO, and Professor Alan Stitt, PhD as CSO.
       
    • At the end of December 2020, Oxurion had cash, cash equivalents & investments of €24.8 million, allowing the Company to execute on its business plans through the end of Q3 2021.  The Company is in advanced discussions with potential investors in order to increase its cash position.

    Leuven, Belgium, Boston, MA, US – March 17, 2021 – 08.00 PM CET – Oxurion NV (Euronext Brussels: OXUR), a biopharmaceutical company developing next generation standard-of-care ophthalmic therapies, with an initial focus on diabetic macular edema (DME), today issues its business and financial update for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2020.

    Oxurion is focused on developing an industry leading DME franchise based on novel therapies. These new drug candidates, which have novel modes of action, largely independent of anti-VEGF pathways, have been designed to improve visual outcomes for all DME patients and to deliver other important clinical benefits.

    DME is a significant and growing global healthcare problem and the major cause of vision loss in persons with diabetes worldwide. Global prevalence of DME is estimated to be 28 million people in 2019.1 The current market value for DME treatments globally is estimated to be approximately $4.5 billion.

    The Company is advancing its pipeline of innovative clinical drug candidates for treating DME. Oxurion’s clinical development pipeline consists of two novel product candidates with different and complementary modes of action:   

    • THR-149 is a potential first in class plasma kallikrein inhibitor with the possibility to become the treatment of choice for DME patients who respond sub-optimally to anti-VEGF therapy. 
       
    • THR-687 is a potential best in class small molecule pan-RGD integrin antagonist being developed to treat DME with the possibility to become the standard of care for most DME patients.

    By advancing both of these exciting new drug candidates, with differentiated modes of action, Oxurion expects to bring much needed innovation and improved clinical outcomes to patients with DME.

    Beyond DME, THR-687 also has development possibilities in additional vascular retinal disorders including for wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wet AMD) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO), thereby potentially allowing the Company to tap into a broader therapeutic market with a current combined estimated annual value of $12 billion.

    Patrik De Haes, M.D., CEO of Oxurion, commented:

    “The last 12 months have seen further important progress towards Oxurion’s goal of building the industry leading DME franchise based on bringing much needed innovation to this significant market opportunity. Over this period, we have advanced the clinical development of our lead assets and been successful in making a number of significant senior management appointments.

    In September 2020, we dosed the first patients in the Phase 2 KALAHARI study of our potential first in class plasma kallikrein inhibitor THR-149. These patients with DME have sub-optimally responded to previous anti-VEGF. This two-part study is an important step in bringing THR-149 to patients and is designed to support our goal of positioning THR-149 as the treatment of choice for the large number of DME patients who have a sub-optimal response to anti-VEGF therapy. The KALAHARI study is progressing as planned, despite the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, and we anticipate announcing Part A dose selection data in mid-2021.

    In 2020 we announced positive and highly promising Phase 1 results with THR-687. The data confirmed that this potential best in class pan-RGD integrin antagonist has the profile to become the standard of care for the majority of DME patients by replacing anti-VEGFs as the mainstay of DME therapy. We have carried out additional multiple dose preclinical studies to support the next phase of clinical development and remain on track to start a Phase 2 study in mid 2021. We are very excited by the potential for THR-687 given it has the possibility to be developed for other significant vascular retinal disorders including wet AMD and RVO.

    We have also taken important steps to strengthen our management team. I am pleased to welcome Grace Chang, M.D. as our Chief Medical Officer, Tom Graney, C.F.A. as Chief Financial Officer, and more recently Professor Alan Stitt, Ph.D., as Chief Scientific Officer. We are delighted to be able to attract individuals with such great industry standing to Oxurion as we seek to advance our lead assets through the clinic towards commercialization and in parallel expand our pipeline of differentiated drug candidates. I am confident that we have a team that can deliver results, and with both Tom and Grace being based in the US, we are starting to build the transatlantic organization we need to deliver on our global ambition.

    Oxurion remains focused on its strategy to deliver significant benefits to DME patients and other retinal vascular disorders globally as well as value to our shareholders. These goals are based on successfully advancing THR-149 and THR-687 which together have the potential to provide innovative tailored therapeutic solutions that deliver much improved clinical outcomes to all DME patients, and in the case of THR-687, also the broader market for retinal vascular disorders.”

    Diabetes, Diabetic Retinopathy, Diabetic Macular Edema – a global and growing health concern

    Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a result of diabetes caused by fluid accumulation in the macula (central part of the retina), due to leaking blood vessels, leading to swelling of the macular area due to the increased permeability of the vessels resulting in the loss of vision.

    DME is caused by another complication of diabetes, called diabetic retinopathy (DR), in which blood vessels in the eye are damaged, allowing fluid to escape. DR is the presence and characteristic evolution of typical retinal microvascular lesions in an individual with diabetes. DR is a chronic, progressive, sight-threatening, and life-altering disease, and is the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults (20-65 years). DME can occur at any stage in the development of DR.

    DR and DME are a growing public health concerns due to the rapid growth in the number of people with diabetes globally. More than one in three people living with diabetes will develop some form of DR in their lifetime, and twenty percent of those will have some vision-threatening form of the disease such as DME.

    The current market value for DME treatments has been estimated to be approximately $4.5 billion. Along with the development of diabetes as a global health issue, prevalence numbers of DME are expected to raise for the foreseeable future.  

    Oxurion DME franchise addressing unmet medical need

    The market for DME therapies is currently dominated by anti-VEGFs, which are the standard of care.

    However, anti-VEGFs have been shown to deliver sub-optimal results in a significant portion of the patient population.  Approximately forty percent of DME patients have an unsatisfactory visual response with anti-VEGF therapy, and in many cases anti-VEGFs fail to achieve a clinically meaningful visual improvement. 

    Moreover, despite the significant success of anti-VEGFs, there will always be a need from both physicians and patients for improved therapies, not only to expand treatment capabilities for the forty percent of DME patients who respond sub-optimally to anti-VGEFs, but equally to deliver:

    • Faster onset of action
    • Better therapeutic effect in terms of visual function, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and response rate (proportion of patients)
    • Longer duration of response allowing extended treatment intervals
    • Improved convenience of treatment through a simpler dosing regimen

    The above requirements are driving the development of THR-149 and THR-687 to meet specific unmet needs in this market so that these novel compounds could become the new standard of care for patients with DME.

    Oxurion’s emerging DME franchise will be based on the successful development of THR-149 and THR-687, two novel therapeutics with different validated modes of action designed for specific complementary target patient groups. 

    Oxurion is confident that with both THR-149 and THR-687 it has the potential to be able to provide new tailored therapeutic solutions that deliver improved clinical outcomes to all DME patients.

    THR-149 – a plasma kallikrein inhibitor for treatment of DME: currently recruiting patients in Phase 2 Part A

    In September 2020, Oxurion announced that the first patient had been treated in the Phase 2 KALAHARI study evaluating THR-149 for treatment of DME.

    THR-149 is a novel plasma kallikrein inhibitor being developed as a potential new standard of care for the forty of DME patients who respond sub-optimally to anti-VEGF therapy.

    THR-149 acts through inhibition of the plasma kallikrein-kinin (PKaI-Kinin) system, a validated target for DME.

    The first part (Part A) of our Phase 2 study will evaluate 3 dose levels of multiple injections of THR-149 in patients with DME to select the optimal dosing regimen based on safety and efficacy. Initial data (from Part A) is expected in mid-2021.

    In Part B of the study, planned to start in H2 2021, the dosing regimen selected in Part A will be compared to the current anti-VEGF standard of care in the form of aflibercept (Eylea) in terms of its ability to improve BCVA. Topline data from Part B is planned to become available in the first half of 2023.

    A positive Phase 1 study with THR-149 showed that it:

    • Is well-tolerated and safe. No dose-limiting toxicities nor drug-related serious adverse events were reported at any of the dosages evaluated in the study.
       
    • Delivered promising efficacy results, particularly improvements in the patient’s BCVA. There was a rapid onset of action observed from Day 1, with an increasing average improvement in BCVA of up to 7.5 letters at Day 14.
       
    • Importantly, this activity was maintained with an average improvement in BCVA of 6.5 letters at Day 90 following a single injection of THR-149.

    This novel drug candidate was generated using Bicycle Therapeutics’ Bicycles® technology platform. 

    THR-687 - a small molecule pan-RGD integrin antagonist for the treatment of DME:

    Positive Phase 1 Results with THR-687 for the treatment of DME – Phase 2 program planned to start in mid-2021

    Oxurion is developing THR-687, a potential best in class pan-RGD integrin antagonist, to preserve vision in a broad range of patients with DME as first line therapy. Inhibition of integrins is a validated target in DME.

    Topline data in 2020 from the Phase 1 trial showed that THR-687:

    • Is well-tolerated and safe with no dose-limiting toxicities. No serious adverse events were reported at any of the doses evaluated in the study.
       
    • The study also looked at efficacy including changes to the patient’s BCVA. Across all doses, a rapid onset of action as measured by mean BCVA change was observed from Day 1 with an increase of 3.1 letters, which further improved to 9.2 letters at Day 30.
       
    • This activity was maintained with a mean BCVA improvement of 8.3 letters at Day 90 following a single injection of THR-687.
       
    • A clear dose response was seen in terms of BCVA with the highest dose of THR-687 delivering a mean BCVA Improvement of 11 letters at Day 14, with a peak improvement of 12.5 letters at Day 90. 
       
    • In addition, a peak mean central subfield thickness (CST) decrease of 106 µm was observed at Day 14 with the highest dose of THR-687.

    Data from this positive Phase 1 study with THR-687 were presented by a leading retina expert at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2020 Meeting in Miami (US).

    Oxurion is preparing a Phase 2 study with THR-687. The team has carried out additional multiple dose pre-clinical studies and is in the process of completing the IND (Investigational New Drug) submission ahead of the planned start of the Phase 2 study in mid-2021.

    The planned Phase 2 study will be a multiple dose study in two parts, the first Part A to select the optimal dose of THR-687 and the second Part B to compare this selected dose to aflibercept. Dose selection following Part A is anticipated in the first half of 2022 with topline data from Part B planned for the second half of 2023.

    Oxurion preclinical data presentation on THR-687 and dry AMD

    Oxurion presented new preclinical data on THR-687 and dry AMD at the EURETINA 2020 Virtual Meeting in October 2020. The European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA) was established over 20 years ago and hosts the leading annual European retinal congress which now attracts over 5,000 global vitreoretinal and macular specialists.

    • The first presentation (title: THR-687, a potent pan-RGD integrin antagonist, holds promise as next-generation therapy for diabetic macular edema) confirmed THR-687 as a promising drug candidate for the treatment of vision-threatening retinal pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and DME.
       
    • The second presentation (title: Characterization of the acute rat model of sodium iodate-induced dry age-related macular degeneration) reported data from a new preclinical model for testing and validation of drug candidates for different stages of dry AMD using complementary read-outs.

    Details of the abstracts can be found on the EURETINA 2020 Virtual website: https://www.euretina.org/congress/amsterdam-2020/virtual-2020-freepapers/

    ONCURIOUS - Exciting Progress with Solid Tumor Pipeline Announced

    Oncurious is developing next-generation immuno-oncology drugs targeting a broad spectrum of cancers. Oncurious is a majority owned subsidiary of Oxurion. The remainder of the shares in the company are owned by VIB, a leading life sciences research institute based in Flanders, Belgium.

    Oncurious scientists, in collaboration with world-class immuno-oncology experts in T cell and endothelial cell biology – Prof. Dr. Gabriele Bergers (VIB-KU Leuven), Prof. Dr. Massimiliano Mazzone (VIB-KU Leuven) and Prof. Dr. Jo Van Ginderachter (VIB-VUB), and the drug discovery unit at VIB, are building a pipeline of proprietary investigational I-O therapies with distinct modes of action.

    The team has discovered a potent and diverse panel of leads targeting human CCR8, has reached preclinical proof of concept and is entering the final lead optimization stages nearing preclinical candidate selection. Oncurious is accelerating its efforts towards initiation of preclinical development of the therapeutic antibody program in early 2021.

    Oncurious’ CCR8 leads have been generated using an antibody technology platform that has been validated and used for more than a decade to generate high quality binders against G-protein coupled receptors. Molecules discovered using this technology were tested in several preclinical tumor models, and showed that targeting CCR8, depleted Tregs specifically in the tumor microenvironment and resulted in strong anti-tumor responses in monotherapy as well as in combination with anti-PD1. The treatments led to the establishment of immunological memory.

    In addition to the anti-CCR8 program, Oncurious is focusing on two other programs aimed at boosting anti-tumor T cell influx and activity in immune excluded tumors. Exclusion of T cells is an immunosuppressive mechanism commonly used by cancers to evade the immune system and as such is an attractive target for new therapeutic modalities.

    ONCURIOUS – Update TB-403 study in Pediatric Subjects with Medulloblastoma

    Data from the Phase 1, Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation Study of TB-403 in Pediatric Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory Medulloblastoma are scheduled for presentation at the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) Annual Meeting on Saturday April 10, 2021.

    Financial Results (unaudited)

    Total revenue amounted to €2.1 million in 2020 compared to €3.9 million in 2019.

    The Company reported a gross profit of €1.5 million in 2020. This compares to a gross profit of €1.7 million in 2019.

    R&D expenses in 2020 were €22.1 million compared to €25.7 million in 2019. R&D expenses were mainly related to preclinical activities as well as clinical activities in THR-687 and THR-149. The 2020 figure included a milestone payment of €2.0 million related to the development of THR-149. Government grants and income from recharge of costs are deducted from the research and development expenses.

    Selling and marketing expenses were €3.3 million in 2020. This compares to €7.0 million in 2019.

    General and administrative expenses decreased from €6.3 million in 2019 to €5.5 million in 2020.

    In 2020, Oxurion made a loss for the year of €28.6 million, compared to a loss for the year in 2019 of €52.1 million resulting in negative diluted earnings per share of €0.75 euro in 2020 versus €1.36 euro in 2019.

    The Oxurion cash position (including investments) at the end of 2020 amounted to €24.8 million. This compares to €52.9 million (including investments) at the end of 2019.

    Oxurion believes that its cash position will allow it to execute on its business plans through the end of Q3 2021 given the cost reductions it has made.  The Company is therefore in advanced discussions with potential investors and other sources of capital to secure the necessary funding to deliver on its further plans, as well as continuing to manage its cash position carefully.

    The financial results included in this press release remain unaudited. Audited financial results and the Annual Report 2020 for the period ending December 31, 2020, will be published by April 5, 2021, on the Company’s website.

    About Oxurion

    Oxurion (Euronext Brussels: OXUR) is a biopharmaceutical company developing next generation standard of care ophthalmic therapies, which are designed to better preserve vision in patients. Our initial focus is in diabetic macular edema (DME), the leading cause of vision loss in diabetic patients worldwide.

    Oxurion is aiming to build the leading global franchise in the treatment of DME, based on the successful development of its two novel therapeutics:

    • THR-149, a plasma kallikrein inhibitor being developed as a potential new standard of care for DME patients who respond sub-optimally to anti-VEGF therapy. THR-149 has shown positive topline Phase 1 results for the treatment of DME. The Company is currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating multiple injections of THR-149 in DME patients who previously responded sub-optimally to anti-VEGF therapy. THR-149 was developed in conjunction with Bicycle Therapeutics PLC (NASDAQ: BCYC).
       
    • THR-687 is a pan-RGD integrin inhibitor, that is initially being developed as a potential new standard of care for the majority of first line DME patients. Positive topline results in a Phase 1 clinical study assessing THR-687 as a treatment for DME were announced in January 2020. THR-687 is expected to enter a Phase 2 clinical trial by mid-2021 after receiving regulatory approval. THR-687 is an optimized compound derived from a broader library of integrin inhibitors in-licensed from Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG).

    Oxurion is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium, and is listed on the Euronext Brussels exchange under the symbol OXUR. More information is available at www.oxurion.com.
