Triumvira Immunologics to Present at CAR-T Congress EU in London, UK

AUSTIN, Texas, and HAMILTON, Ontario, January 29, 2019 – Triumvira Immunologics, a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing a novel platform for engineering T cells to attack cancers, today announced that Dr. Paul Lammers, President & CEO, will both present and moderate a round table discussion at the CAR-T Congress EU, to be held in London UK on January 30-31. The invitations acknowledge Triumvira’s expertise in the novel engineering of T cells for the potential treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors.

The CAR-T Congress EU is a forum focused on discovering, translating, developing, and commercializing CAR-T into viable and accessible therapies. CAR-T cell therapies have shown transformational activity in hematological malignancies. However, despite the tremendous success so far, there are still hurdles to overcome before CAR-T can be effective in mainstream oncology beyond hematological malignancies. The European CAR-T Congress’ mission is to address the opportunities and challenges that presently face the CAR-T field and maximize the potential of this ground-breaking therapy. As Triumvira’s proprietary T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) technology is biologically distinct from CAR-T and has the potential to be a next-generation solution, Triumvira seeks to address some of the challenging areas for existing therapies in hematological malignancies and expand treatment activity to solid tumors.

Paul Lammers, MD, MSc, President, and Chief Executive Officer will present and lead a round table discussion at CAR-T Congress EU as follows:

Date: Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Time: 14:20 (GMT)

Venue: Millennium Gloucester Hotel, 4-18 Harrington Gardens, Kensington, London, SW7 4LH

Presentation: Triumvira’s TAC-T cell Technology: A Step Forward in Adoptive T Cell Therapy.

Date: Thursday, January 31, 2019

Time: 10:30 (GMT)

Venue: Millennium Gloucester Hotel, 4-18 Harrington Gardens, Kensington, London, SW7 4LH

Triumvira Immunologics Demonstrates Prolonged TAC-T Cell Persistence and Efficacy in Preclinical Models

AUSTIN, Texas & HAMILTON, Ontario & TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Triumvira Immunologics Inc. (Triumvira), announced the presentation of key preclinical data at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 60th Annual Meeting and Exposition, held December 1-4, 2018, in San Diego, CA. The data show that TAC-engineered T cells provide long-lasting tumor rejection in mouse models of BCMA-positive and CD19-positive hematological malignancies and suggest the presence of persisting TAC-T cells that protect against tumor regrowth upon tumor rechallenge.

The results build on data recently published in Nature Communications (Helsen et al., 2018) describing the proprietary T cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) technology, a chimeric receptor that co-opts the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) for T cell activation and tumor cell killing. The new data, presented during a podium presentation and a poster presentation, now describe additional preclinical pharmacology of the company’s therapeutic programs in multiple myeloma (BCMA) and B-cell lymphoma (CD19). A CD19-directed TAC-T cell product is expected to enter clinical testing in H1 2019.

The podium presentation, presented by Ksenia Bezverbnaya, BSc., McMaster University, (Publication 3267: T cell engineered with a novel chimeric receptor demonstrate durable in vivo efficacy against disseminated multiple myeloma) focused on two TAC constructs each of which was fused to a different BCMA binder. A single dose of TAC-T cells (106) engineered with either construct cured mice with disseminated KMS-11 multiple myeloma cells and protected mice, in remission for 3 months after treatment, against tumor regrowth upon a fresh inoculation of tumor cells.

The poster presentation, presented by Christopher Helsen, Ph.D., Director of Research & Development, and Head of Platform Development at Triumvira (Publication 962: T cells engineered with T cell antigen coupler (TAC) receptors for haematological malignancies) described the preclinical pharmacology of TAC-T cells directed against the CD19 and BCMA antigens in multiple models of CD19-positive leukemia and lymphoma and the BCMA-positive KMS-11 multiple myeloma model. TAC-T cells specific for either antigen produced long-lasting tumor rejection and effectively protected mice in tumor rechallenge experiments indicating the presence of persisting TAC-T cells.

“These data provide further evidence that TAC furnishes T cells with properties that are highly desirable attributes for future T cell therapies,” states Dr. Paul Lammers, President & CEO of Triumvira, “TAC-T cells demonstrate superiority over 2nd generation CAR-T cells, and effectively rids animals from cancer in the absence of notable toxicities and protects these animals for a prolonged period of time. These new data further strengthens the argument for bringing the TAC technology to patients.”

Triumvira Presents Data on T Cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) Technology at the 6th Annual Immuno-Oncology Summit

TAC technology shows efficacy, safety, and TAC-T cell persistence in preclinical models of liquid and solid tumors

AUSTIN, TX, and HAMILTON, ON, August 30, 2018Triumvira Immunologics, Inc. (Triumvira), a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on designing safe and more effective T cell therapies, will present data today on its novel T cell therapy technology, TAC-T, during an oral presentation in the Adoptive T Cell Therapies session of the 6th Annual Immuno-Oncology Summit held in Boston. The presentation will describe the differentiated mechanism of action of the company’s T cell antigen coupler (TAC) technology in preclinical studies demonstrating strong efficacy in both solid and liquid tumors with an improved safety profile compared to traditional CAR-T approaches.

The oral presentation, entitled: TAC-T: a novel T cell therapy, co-opts the endogenous T cell receptor for effective, safe, and persistent tumor rejection, will be delivered by Christopher Helsen, PhD, Director of Research and Development at Triumvira. Results from pre-clinical studies with human T cells engineered with Triumvira’s proprietary TAC technology directed against different antigens will be presented. The data suggest that TAC-T cells destroy tumor cells via a mechanism that mimics the natural process of T cell activation. Results clearly demonstrate efficient infiltration and proliferation in solid tumors resulting in rapid and sustained tumor regression in mice without toxicity. Furthermore, in a xenograft model of multiple myeloma, treated mice showed resistance to tumor re-challenge indicating long-term persistence of TAC-T cells.

“These results will further illustrate the potential of TAC-T cells, both in terms of efficacy and safety but also with respect to TAC T-cell persistence, a key point under consideration in T cell therapy,” said Paul Lammers, MD, MSc, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Triumvira also announces it is participating in the 11th Annual International Partnering Conference BioPharm America on September 5-6 and the 4th Annual CAR-TCR Summit 2018 – Changing Lives with CAR-T & TCR Cell Immunotherapies on September 4-5, both being held during Biotech Week Boston.

Nature Communications Publishes Studies Comparing Triumvira’s T Cell Antigen Coupler (TAC) Technology with CAR T Cell Therapy

Efficacy of Engineered T Cells can be Uncoupled from Toxicities Observed with CAR T Cell Therapy

AUSTIN, TX, and HAMILTON, ON, August 3, 2018 – Triumvira Immunologics, Inc., (Triumvira) a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on designing safe and more effective T cell therapies today announced the publication of a peer-reviewed article in today’s edition of Nature Communications, which describes the mechanism of action of the company’s T cell antigen coupler (TAC) technology, designed to co-opt the natural biology of T cells to attack solid and liquid tumors.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.11″ src=”https://triumvira.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/comparison-table-tac-car.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” max_width=”80%” show_bottom_space=”off” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ animation_style=”fade” /][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.11″]

The article, titled “The chimeric TAC receptor co-opts the T cell receptor yielding robust anti-tumor activity without toxicity” presents results from pre-clinical studies with human T cells engineered with Triumvira’s proprietary TAC technology directed against multiple antigens. The results clearly demonstrate robust and antigen-specific cytokine production and cytotoxicity in vitro and strong anti-tumor activity in a variety of xenograft models, including solid and liquid tumors. In addition, the study observes that HER2-TAC T cells demonstrate robust penetration and local proliferation and activation in solid tumors.

“This peer-reviewed article provides scientific validation of our platform TAC technology and provides future hope for patients by potentially making T cell therapy more accessible to a much larger pool of cancer patients,” commented Paul Lammers, MD, MSc, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Based on these data and other pre-clinical data in hand, we continue with confidence to advance this program into clinical development.”

“Comparative studies in a solid tumor model demonstrated the unique biological differences of the TAC and CAR receptors. Unlike the known toxicities with CAR T cell therapy, this study indicated that TAC T cells outperformed second-generation CAR T cells, revealing both increased tumor penetrating ability, anti-tumor efficacy and reduced toxicity,” commented Jonathan Bramson, PhD, Professor of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Vice Dean for Research at McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada, and Triumvira’s co-founder and Acting Chief Scientific Officer. “These results are exciting and help to elucidate the mechanism of TAC T cells, which may have a superior therapeutic index relative to CAR T cells.”
