Beijing,April 6,2022 - 3D Medicines Inc. (the “Company”), today announced that an IND application to initiate the first clinical trial in China for 3D189, also known as SELLAS’s galinpepimut-s (“GPS”), has been approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of 3D189 in Chinese patients with hematological malignancies.

 

 

This is a phase 1, open-label, single-arm, multi-center study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of 3D189,a WT1 peptide vaccine, in patients with acute leukemia in complete response, or patients with multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, who have received at least 1st-line standard therapy and achieved a response. 

 

3D189 is a therapeutic cancer vaccine that targets WT1, which was a top ranked antigen for immunotherapy according to the NCI in 2009. As shown in the figure below, WT1 targeted therapies can potentially treat over 20 cancer types (including lung cancer and CRC), which creates a large potential market with a wide coverage of patients.

 

 

3D189 induced immune response has the potential to recognize and destroy cancer cells and provide ongoing support and memory to the immune system so that it can continue to target and destroy recurring tumors and residual cancer cells. 3D189 has the potential to be a highly effective approach to prolonging survival by delaying or preventing relapse/recurrence in patients in complete remission or with low tumor burden. In addition, across the five completed studies with 3D189 monotherapy, 3D189 exhibited a highly tolerable safety profile,the only Treatment Related Adverse Events (TRAEs) of any grade that occurred in more than 10% of the patients across all studies were injection site reaction in 18.2% of all patients (Grades 1 and 2 only) and fatigue in 14.9% of all patients (Grades 1 and 2 only).

 

In previous clinical trials, 3D189 showed promising early anti-tumor activity in patients with AML who achieved second hematologic complete remission, with or without thrombocytopenia (CR2/CR2p),and our partner, SELLAS Life Sciences Group, is conducting a Phase III pivotal clinical trial for 3D189 (GPS) in this patient population in the U.S., Europe.

 

In December 2020, 3D Medicines obtained exclusive rights from SELLAS to develop, manufacture and commercialize 3D189 in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan region for all therapeutic indications and other diagnostic uses.
