OS Therapies (NYSE American: OSTX) (“OS Therapies” or “the
Company”), a clinical-stage immunotherapy and Antibody Drug
Conjugate biopharmaceutical company, today announces that the last
patient (Patient #41) enrolled in the AOST-2121 clinical trial
(NCT04974008) of OST-HER2 in recurred, resected Osteosarcoma (OS)
has completed their final radiographical evaluation at 52 weeks and
the treatment period for the clinical trial has now ended. The
Company is preparing to request a Type C Meeting with the U.S. Food
& Drug Administration (FDA) and to make any protocol
adjustments based on FDA’s recommendations. Following those
adjustments, the Company will lock the clinical trial database in
preparation for data analysis and topline data readout, expected to
be announced in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Concurrent with this announcement the Company announces that it
will be ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange
today. Company President and CEO Paul Romness is scheduled to give
two interviews live on national television networks:
- “B” Block in Market Movers on Fintech.TV at 9:10am on Thursday,
October 3, 2024
- Trading 360 on the Schwab Network at 11:30am on Thursday,

OST-HER2, a biologic therapeutic candidate, is a Lm (Listeria
monocytogenes) vector-based off-the-shelf immunotherapeutic vaccine
designed to prevent metastasis, delay recurrence, and increase
overall survival in patients with Osteosarcoma. The AOST-2121 Phase
2b clinical trial of 41 patients treated with OST-HER2 at 21
clinical trial sites across the United States is designed to
demonstrate efficacy in patients who have already had recurrent
metastatic disease to the lungs and are highly likely to continue
to recur. A total of 16 OST-HER2 doses were administered once every
three weeks, with a follow-up approximately four weeks after the
final dose was administered, for a total of 52 weeks on study.
Radiographic evaluation of recurrence occurred throughout the
treatment period. The primary endpoints for the AOST-2121 study are
Event Free Survival (“EFS”), defined as absence of recurrence of
primary tumor or metastasis) at 12 months and Overall Survival (OS)
at 36 months, with interim OS endpoints at 12 months, 18 months and
24 months. Topline EFS data, interim OS data, as well as additional
secondary data analyses are expected to be reported in the fourth
quarter of 2024.
The proposed OST-HER2 mechanism of action is based on innate and
adaptive immune stimulating responses activated by the Lm vector.
This treatment generates T-cells that can eliminate or slow
potential micro-metastases that can grow into recurrent
Osteosarcoma. T-cell responses target HER2 expressed by the tumor
and then kill the cell, releasing additional tumor targets. There
are currently no approved adjuvant treatments for recurrent
Osteosarcoma in the United States. There have not been any novel
therapeutic interventions approved by the FDA in over 40 years.
