About Hamlet BioPharma

 

Hamlet BioPharma is an innovative biotechnology company that develops scientific discoveries into drugs for the treatment of cancer and infections. The goal is to address unmet medical needs in large patient groups in need of improved cancer treatments or alternatives to antibiotics. The company is leveraging highly innovative scientific discoveries and an extensive IP portfolio, to take these innovative drugs through mechanistic and preclinical phases, through the development of drug production technology to the clinic. Three projects in clinical development are in Phase II trials.

 

Bladder cancer treatment. The investigational new drug Alpha1H has shown efficacy in the treatment of early bladder cancer and has potential as neoadjuvant for this and additional patient groups. The clinical program is progressing towards Phase III and the company is in a dialogue with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the continued clinical program. Alpha1H was recently awarded Fast track status by FDA.

 

Immunotherapy for bacterial infections. Immunotherapy has great potential as a complement to antibiotics. Treatment of infections with the IL-1 receptor antagonist IL-1RA has shown potent effects in in animal models, proving that immunotherapy may protect against inflammation and symptoms. Surprisingly, the treatment also accelerates the clearance of bacteria with similar efficacy as antibiotics. The clinical program is progressing with two Phase II studies, where positive clinical effects were recently communicated in patients with bladder pain. The pipeline contains additional, highly competitive new molecules for future clinical development.

 

The need for novel therapies is significant and cancer and infection are major threats to health, worldwide. The prevalence of bladder cancer is high and the threat of antibiotic resistance is growing. The drug candidates developed by Hamlet BioPharma hold the promise of improving the health of large patient groups, by providing therapeutic alternatives or complements to more toxic cancer drugs and to antibiotics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OPENING REMARKS

 

In the third quarter of the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Hamlet BioPharma successfully raised approximately MSEK 46.7 through a rights issue, which was completed without guarantees, surpassing expectations. This capital infusion will support the ongoing funding of clinical projects and the development portfolio. The crucial backing from long-term shareholders and the addition of new investors were instrumental to this success. The market's positive response following the rights issue further highlights the increasing interest and confidence in our strategic market positioning.

 

Bladder Cancer

In the third quarter, we have communicated new findings showing that Alpha1H triggers a potent immune response in patients with bladder cancer.  A rapid and sustained increase in multiple immune proteins was detected by advanced analysis technology. This is of significant interest, as immune responses with an anti-tumor profile can be highly protective. The findings add a new dimension to the mechanism of action of Alpha1H. The beneficial profile of this immune response is shown by a lack of significant side effects, in contrast to other drugs such as BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin). These findings, which are published in the journal Cancer Medicine, strengthens the potential of Alpha1H as a new investigational drug for the treatment of bladder cancer.

 

The company has recently secured large-scale production of the Alpha1 peptide from the Polypeptide Group, which will be essential for the advance towards Phase III trials.

 

Bladder Pain Syndrome

Results from the ongoing phase II trial on Bladder Pain Syndrome has shown promising results, supporting the use of anakinra in this patient group. The pain score was reduced after treatment, and the quality of life increased in this severely disabled patient group. In addition, laboratory tests showed a convincing reduction in pain molecules after treatment, suggesting a direct effect of treatment at the molecular level. The study is continuing to define anakinra as a treatment option in this patient group.

 

Strategic Alliances and Commercial Collaborations

To promote our growth and global reach, Hamlet BioPharma has entered into strategic collaborations with top international advisory firms. Alpha1H was the first asset identified, but the commercial collaborations may also include the immunotherapy projects. These partnerships are focused on enhancing our commercial strategies and broadening our networking within the industry to find new partnerships and strengthen existing ones. These alliances are important as they help in navigating the complex global regulatory and commercial landscapes and in exploring new opportunities.

 

We thank our shareholders, for their commitment to the company and trust in our vision. We also thank our competent, multinational team and our external partners and experts for their invaluable contributions.

Rights issue 2024

In the beginning of the third quarter, Hamlet BioPharma AB successfully completed a rights issue of B shares, securing approximately MSEK 46.7 in new capital. With strong investor confidence, about MSEK 13 of the issue was subscribed in advance through subscription commitments. Technically, the rights issue amounted to MSEK 80.

 

The subscription period for the Rights Issue ended on February 7, 2024. The Rights Issue was subscribed to approximately MSEK 46.7 with or without the support of subscription rights. B-shares, corresponding to approximately MSEK 32.7, were subscribed with the support of subscription rights and B-shares, corresponding to approximately MSEK 14, were subscribed without the support of subscription rights. Hamlet BioPharma thus achieved the goal of raising about MSEK 40, which is the capital needed for continued development. Hamlet BioPharma intends to use the net proceeds from the Rights Issue to drive the development of Alpha1H as a drug against bladder cancer, the IL-1 receptor antagonist as a treatment for bladder pain and acute cystitis and to develop promising new substances in the pipeline up to clinical studies.

 

Summary of raised capital

 

Since its initial public offering in 2015, Hamlet BioPharma has successfully attracted new capital from shareholders and investors on separate occasions, with a total of 239 MSEK. As shown below, Hamlet Pharma and SelectImmune were initially funded separately but are now merged to form Hamlet BioPharma. Each funding event has played a significant role in bringing the company fresh capital to take innovative treatments through our formal competence-driven drug development to the clinic. The total of raised capital is quite low, in view of the advanced clinical stage of the lead compounds and the extensive patient portfolio, consistent with the development strategy, competence and vision of the company.

Clinical projects

 

I. Alpha1-oleate for bladder cancer

Hamlet BioPharma is developing an entirely new class of anti-cancer therapeutics for multiple cancer indications based on the discovery of its proprietary drug complex HAMLET (‘Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made Lethal to Tumor cells’). HAMLET is derived from the human breast milk protein, alpha-lactalbumin, and represents a groundbreaking therapeutic solution with high tumor-killing capacity, high target specificity, killing >40 different types of tumor cells and no demonstrated toxicity. As such, it has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. 

 

 

Hamlet BioPharma is now advancing the second-generation drug product of HAMLET, called ‘Alpha1H’, along the clinical development pipeline as anti-cancer therapeutic for early stage bladder cancer (non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, NMIBC). The company is focusing on NMIBC given the unmet need for new, more effective and safe treatment options in this large and growing patient group. Bladder cancer has the highest recurrence rates (70%) and treatment costs per patient among all cancer types (total costs in Europe: >€4.9 billion). Hamlet BioPharma is currently developing the clinical trial program for Alpha1H in NMIBC patients towards Phase III trials. In view of its broad anti-cancer effects, there is significant interest to also develop Alpha1H for other cancer indications.

 

Strong anti-tumor effects detected in Alpha1H-treated patients, for a combination of clinical and molecular endpoints.

The combined data analysis from the two clinical study parts has now been completed, including extensive laboratory analyses of patient samples. The results, which have been submitted for publication, are summarized below. 

1. Reduction in tumor size 

Treatment resulted in a complete or partial response in 82% of the tumors treated with 8.5 mM and in 45% treated with 1.7 mM of Alpha1H. 

2. Changes in the tumor 

• Treatment resulted in tumor fragmentation and release of fragments and cells into the urine. This effect increased markedly with the higher dose of Alpha1H. 
• The tumor cells died by apoptosis, after taking up Alpha1H. 
• Tissues left in the patient after treatment had lost their tumor characteristics and become more “healthy-like”, as shown by gene expression analysis. 

 

Fast track designation for Alpha 1H in bladder cancer treatment

The company has recently received the FDA Fast Track Designation for Alpha1H, our drug candidate for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In collaboration with our American associate, Target Health, we reached this essential milestone marked by the FDA's 'Fast Track Granted' notification in November 2023. This achievement builds on the momentum already gained from the FDA's earlier approval of the investigational new drug application (IND) for Alpha1H in July 2023.

 

Alpha1H stands out for its anti-cancer efficacy, derived from a synthetic version of the HAMLET protein-lipid complex, and has demonstrated its ability to target and eliminate cancer cells with high precision, all while maintaining a clean safety profile without severe toxicity in our studies. This Fast Track Designation grants a range of strategic advantages, including more intensive guidance from the FDA during the clinical development phase for Alpha1H in bladder cancer. Hence, it brings Alpha1H closer to the U.S. market and is strengthening the company’s position for discussions with potential commercial partners.

 

Alpha1H activates a broad immune response with strong anti-tumor potential in bladder cancer patients

in the third quarter the company announced the important finding of a strong positive immune response in patients treated with Alpha1H. An immune response with strong anti-tumor potential was identified in the bladder of treated patients, using advanced technology for protein identification. This immune response was rapidly activated by Alpha1H after the first treatment and persisted during the one-month treatment period. The immune response was found to also increase with the treatment dose.

 

The activation of the immune response is an important addition to understanding the mechanism of action, explaining the potency of Alpha1H. Through the immune response, the tumor can be attacked and neutralized, as Alpha1H creates a multifunctional treatment environment in the tissue. The manuscript describing this study is under revision for publication.

 

Hamlet BioPharma is now proceeding with the third part of the ongoing clinical trial in Prague with Alpha1H in bladder cancer patients. The results of the study will be used to optimize the design further for the Phase III clinical trials in dialogue with the FDA.

 

II. Immunotherapy – a new approach to treating bacterial infections

In parallel with Alpha1H, Hamlet BioPharma is focusing on developing new drugs for the treatment of infection and inflammation. The company is developing immunotherapy against bacterial infections as an alternative to antibiotics. Two Phase II studies on immunotherapy are ongoing; one focusing on bladder pain, which is a difficult-to-treat condition defined by chronic pain, and the second is focusing on recurrent acute cystitis.

 

Bladder Pain Syndrome

 

Patients with bladder pain syndrome have severe pain, which is socially debilitating.  Broadly used pain killers are not effective. Some patients are helped by morphine or surgery, but often without lasting effects. The use of the substance anakinra (IL-1RA), which is patented by the company for the treatment of pain conditions in the bladder, has shown promising effects in patients receiving off-label treatment. In the fourth quarter, the first part of a controlled clinical trial in patients with bladder pain syndrome (severe pain in the urinary bladder) has been completed. A significant proportion of the patients treated with anakinra have responded positively to the treatment. The pain score was reduced after treatment and the quality of life increased in this severely disabled patient group. In addition, laboratory tests showed a convincing reduction in pain molecules after treatment, suggesting a direct effect of treatment at the molecular level.

 

 

Recurrent acute cystitis

 

In a recently published paper, the company's use of the drug anakinra in an animal model was shown to prevent serious urinary and kidney infections, which are very common and could lead to sepsis. As such, anakinra has the potential to function as an alternative or complement to antibiotics, with demonstrated efficiency even against antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. This approach opens up possibilities to treat antibiotic-resistant bacteria and shifts the focus from direct bacterial elimination to boosting the host's antibacterial defenses, offering an alternative solution to the growing global health threat of antibiotic resistance as identified by the WHO. A clinical Phase II trial of anakinra (IL-1RA) in recurrent acute cystitis is ongoing in collaboration with international specialists in Germany. 

 

 

 

III. Business development

 

Hamlet BioPharma has entered into commercial collaborations with two premier international advisory firms within the healthcare sector, who have acted as advisors on numerous deals for companies worldwide. Leveraging their global networks and deep industry knowledge, these advisory firms offer expert support to negotiate commercial partnerships and strategic alliances. Due to their analytics and networks of contacts from innovators to ‘’Big-Pharma’’ the advisory firms are uniquely placed to support deal making and strategic planning.

 

During the third quarter, Hamlet BioPharma has provided all necessary background materials, produced teasers and presentations and initiated discussions with interested parties. Conversations with potential licensing partners are ongoing.
