Accompanying slides may be accessed through the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.vorbio.com. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and a copy of these slides is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and each is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 8.01 Other Events

On December 9, 2024, the Company announced updated clinical data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 VBP101 study of patients with relapsed/refractory AML receiving trem-cel followed by MylotargTM. The data included 25 patients treated with trem-cel, of which 15 had received Mylotarg (six at the 2 mg/m2 dose) as of the data cut-off date of November 1, 2024. The data demonstrated:

 

   

Preliminary evidence of improved relapse-free survival (median RFS not reached with median follow-up duration of 7.4 months) compared to published groups of AML patients at high risk of relapse post hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).

 

   

Shielding of the blood system, with maintained neutrophil and platelet counts across multiple Mylotarg doses of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/m2.

 

   

Broadened therapeutic index for Mylotarg when administered after trem-cel.

 

   

Reliable engraftment, with 100% of patients achieving primary neutrophil engraftment (median 9.5 days), robust platelet recovery (median 16 days), and full myeloid donor chimerism at Day 28.

 

   

Trem-cel continues to be manufactured with high CD33 editing efficiency (median 90%, range 71-94%).

The Company also announced that it received supportive feedback from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in a Type C meeting. Specifically, there was alignment with the trem-cel + Mylotarg registrational clinical trial design with respect to study population, control arm, primary endpoint, stratification factors, and statistical design. The Company agreed to provide further updates to the FDA alongside submission of the full clinical trial protocol.

Vor Bio Provides Clinical Update Further Validating Approach of Using Shielded Transplants to Deliver Targeted Therapies; Receives Supportive Feedback from FDA Regarding Registrational Trial Design

 

   

Preliminary data suggests improved relapse-free survival compared to published groups of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients at high risk of relapse post-transplant

 

   

Trem-cel + Mylotarg continue to demonstrate engraftment, shielding, and broadened therapeutic window

 

   

Company has received supportive feedback from the FDA regarding a registrational clinical trial design

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 9, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vor Bio (Nasdaq: VOR), a clinical-stage cell and genome engineering company, today announced updated clinical data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 VBP101 study of patients with relapsed/refractory AML receiving trem-cel followed by MylotargTM. The data, which was presented in a poster at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting on Sunday, December 8th, demonstrated durable engraftment, shielding from Mylotarg on-target toxicity, a broadened Mylotarg therapeutic window, and early evidence of improved relapse free survival compared to published high-risk AML comparators.

“With additional maturity, we are even more encouraged by this data and the potential of offering AML and MDS patients the opportunity to receive post-transplant maintenance therapy while still maintaining healthy blood count levels,” said Dr. Eyal Attar, Vor Bio’s Chief Medical Officer.

The data released today included 25 patients treated with trem-cel of which 15 had received Mylotarg (six at the 2 mg/m2 dose) as of the data cut-off date of November 1, 2024. The data demonstrated:

 

   

Preliminary evidence of improved relapse-free survival (median RFS not reached with median follow-up duration of 7.4 months) compared to published groups of AML patients at high risk of relapse post hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT)1.

 

   

Shielding of the blood system, with maintained neutrophil and platelet counts across multiple Mylotarg doses of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/m2.

 

   

Broadened therapeutic index for Mylotarg when administered after trem-cel.

 

   

Reliable engraftment, with 100% of patients achieving primary neutrophil engraftment (median 9.5 days), robust platelet recovery (median 16 days), and full myeloid donor chimerism at Day 28.

 

   

Trem-cel continues to be manufactured with high CD33 editing efficiency (median 90%, range 71-94%).

Company received supportive feedback from the FDA in a Type C meeting

The Company had the opportunity to interact with the FDA regarding data from the trem-cel + Mylotarg study alongside a proposed registrational clinical trial synopsis. The FDA agreed that trem-cel engrafts neutrophils and platelets and has a similar safety profile to unedited CD34+ grafts. In addition, there was agreement with the trem-cel + Mylotarg registrational clinical trial design with respect to study population, control arm, primary endpoint, stratification factors, and statistical design. The Company agreed to provide further updates to the FDA alongside submission of the full clinical trial protocol.

VADC45, a Novel CD45-Targeted Antibody Drug Conjugate CD45 is highly expressed throughout the Novel pan-CD45 heme compartment (minus mature RBCs) humanized antibody cross-reactive to NHP Clinically validated linker-payload (Immunogen, alkylating agent) DGN549 payload with cleavable linker Robust preclinical data package Fc silencing to avoid effector function IND-enabling studies progressing to completion 23


VADC45: Potential Commercial Opportunities Treating Relapse - Heme Malignancies Non-Chemo Conditioning - Gene Therapies • CD45 is highly expressed in AML and DLBCL • Gene therapies such as for sickle cell urgently need non-chemo conditioning agents • Target may be oncogenic, driving tissue infiltration, high expression and poor prognosis • Could avoid oncogenicity and sterility concerns • Opportunity: R/R AML and MDS • Opportunity: SCD, TDT alternative conditioning Immune Reset - Autoimmune Diseases Epitope Engineering - Shielded Grafts • Immune disorders that may require more holistic • Precise epitope for VADC45 has been identified reset of the entire immune system • Experiments are ongoing for epitope modification • Holistically remove immune cell compartments which retains protein functionality • Opportunity: Refractory MS, SLE, SSc • Opportunity: Heme malignancies 24 DLBCL= Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, TDT= Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia, SLE= Systemic lupus erythematosus, SSc = Systemic sclerosis
