Notes to Editors:
About C4X Discovery
C4X Discovery ("C4XD") is a pioneering Drug Discovery company,
combining scientific expertise with cutting-edge Drug Discovery
technologies to efficiently deliver world--leading medicines. We
have a highly valuable and differentiated approach to Drug
Discovery through our enhanced candidate molecule design and
patient stratification capabilities, generating small molecule drug
candidates across multiple disease areas focused on
immuno-inflammation. Our commercially attractive portfolio ranges
from early-stage target opportunities to late-stage Drug Discovery
programmes and we have three commercially partnered programmes with
one candidate in clinical development.
For more information visit us at www.c4xdiscovery.com or follow
us on twitter @C4XDiscovery.
Corporate Overview
We have continued to make strong progress across the entire
portfolio, both during the period and into the beginning of 2023.
Our most significant news was announced in November with the
out-licensing of our NRF2 Activator programme to AstraZeneca for up
to $402 million, including $2 million upfront, and up to $16
million in potential pre-clinical milestone payments, plus the
potential for tiered single-digit royalties.
Our portfolio of partnered programmes continues to advance.
Indivior's Phase I multiple-ascending dose clinical trial of C4XD's
Orexin 1 Antagonist candidate C4X_3256/INDV-2000 is underway and,
following the first milestone received from Sanofi, our IL-17A
Inhibitor programme is advancing through pre-clinical studies
towards the next milestone. We look forward to hearing how these
programmes progress throughout the year.
Following a review of our expertise and previous successes, C4XD
is evolving its strategy to become a company focused on treatments
for immuno-inflammatory diseases. With the majority of our
portfolio already focused on immuno-inflammatory diseases, a proven
drug discovery expertise and an expert team of scientists who
understand this disease area, we believe that with this approach we
can harness our skillset and take the development of our programmes
further, providing greater value for shareholders.
Our internal portfolio will now focus on the discovery and
development of novel small molecule medicines with Best-in-Class
and First-in-Class potential to treat patients across a range of
immuno-inflammatory diseases. Our lead internal programme, focused
on oral small molecule inhibitors of <ALPHA>4<BETA>7,
has the potential to expand patient access to
<ALPHA>4<BETA>7 inhibitor therapy for the treatment of
inflammatory bowel disease ("IBD"). This programme is making
significant headway through late-stage discovery and progressing
towards pre-clinical studies. We have further immuno-inflammatory
programmes in early discovery and we anticipate moving the two most
promising of these into Lead Optimisation within the next 18
months.
In line with our new focus on immuno-inflammatory diseases, the
decision has been taken to streamline our portfolio and prioritise
resources, and we therefore plan to out-license our pre-clinical
MALT-1 inhibitor programme for oncology.
In January 2023, we were delighted to appoint Nick Ray as our
Chief Scientific Officer. Nick has been with C4XD for seven years,
most recently as SVP Drug Discovery and also leading the medicinal
chemistry, structural analysis and computational
chemistry/cheminformatics teams. He has played a key role in the
growth of C4XD and his in-depth scientific expertise has enabled
C4XD to develop a growing portfolio of high-quality small molecule
programmes. Nick's leadership will be invaluable as we look to take
these programmes further into development.
In February 2023, following a successful research collaboration
with Garvan Institute, we announced the launch of C4XD's new
platform for patient stratification, PatientSeek (powered by
Taxonomy3(R)) - see study details in the Portfolio Review. The
results of the study demonstrate PatientSeek's ability to optimise
patient selection and its potential to match the most effective
treatments with groups of patients who are most likely to benefit
thereby ensuring the right drug is given to the right patient,
based on their genetics. C4XD has already identified subgroups in a
number of immuno-inflammatory diseases using PatientSeek and we
will be exploring their application in bringing precision medicine
approaches to these patient populations.
The Company has a sufficient cash position and manageable fixed
cost base. Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
deposits were GBP9.6 million at 31 January 2023 (31 January 2022:
GBP11.7 million). R&D investment of GBP5.2 million in the six
months ending 31 January 2023 (January 2022: GBP3.9 million),
reflecting focused investment in key Drug Discovery programmes.
Administrative Expenses remained steady at GBP1.6 million for the
six months ended January 2023 (January 2022: GBP1.6 million).
Portfolio Review
Addictive disorders (Orexin-1 Antagonist) - out-licensed to
Indivior
Phase 1 multiple ascending dose study ongoing
Under C4XD's milestone and royalties agreement with Indivior
worth up to US$284 million for C4XD's oral Orexin-1 receptor
antagonist C4X_3256 (INDV-2000) for the treatment of substance use
disorders, Indivior has completed the Single Ascending Dose (SAD)
Phase 1 study with no events of clinical concern. The Multiple
ascending dose (MAD) study is progressing with Last Subject Last
Visit (LSLV) scheduled for July 2023, and with other clinical,
non-clinical and chemical/formulation development activities
proceeding to plan.
Opioid addiction is an increasing burden on the healthcare
system, particularly in the US but is a growing global issue.
According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control & Prevention
(CDC), more than 107,937 people are predicted to have died from
drug overdose, up 56% in the 12-month period ending August 2022,
with 73,369 of these deaths attributed to synthetic opioids, up
115% (1) .
Inflammation (IL-17A Inhibitor) - out-licensed to Sanofi
Sanofi-led programme making significant progress
Under the exclusive worldwide licensing agreement worth up to
EUR414 million, Sanofi continues to make strong pre-clinical
progress towards the second milestone; C4XD received the first
milestone payment of EUR3 million in July 2022. The small molecules
in C4XD's oral IL-17A inhibitor programme can selectively block
IL-17 activity whilst maintaining molecular size of the molecule in
the traditional "drug-like" range. A novel, potent oral series of
IL-17A inhibitors that significantly reduce IL-17 induced
inflammation in vivo is being optimised. Sanofi has development and
commercial rights to the programme and is continuing to work with
C4XD in the next discovery phase, utilising our Conformetrix
technology, interpretation and application to compound design as
the programme progresses towards the clinic.
Inflammation (NRF2 Activator) - out-licensed to AstraZeneca
Programme continues to move forward under AstraZeneca's
ownership
C4XD signed an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with
AstraZeneca in November 2022, worth up to $402 million, for its
NRF2 Activator programme. AstraZeneca will develop and
commercialise an oral therapy for the treatment of inflammatory and
respiratory diseases with a lead focus on chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). Under the terms of the agreement, C4XD
will receive pre-clinical milestone payments worth up to $16
million including $2 million upfront, ahead of the first clinical
trial. In addition, C4XD will receive a further potential $385.8
million in clinical development and commercial milestones and
tiered mid-single digit royalties upon commercialisation.
Inflammation is a key driver in many pathological conditions.
NRF2 plays a pivotal role in controlling the expression of
antioxidant genes that ultimately exert anti-inflammatory
functions. Targeting the NRF2 pathway to reduce inflammatory damage
offers the potential for a new approach to treat a variety of
inflammatory diseases. Interest in this therapeutic approach covers
multiple therapeutic areas including chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, atopic dermatitis, IBD, pulmonary arterial hypertension
and sickle cell disease.
Inflammation (<ALPHA>4<BETA>7 Integrin
Inhibitor)
Programme transitioned into Lead Optimisation
C4XD's oral <ALPHA>4<BETA>7 integrin inhibitor
programme has identified multiple series of novel, potent and
selective <ALPHA>4<BETA>7 integrin inhibitors for the
treatment of IBD. Effective antibody therapy against this target is
already approved, removing the clinical target risk, but an
effective oral therapy remains highly sought after. During 2021,
Morphic Therapeutic's Phase 1 clinical study demonstrated high
target occupancy in blood at developable doses but with a twice
daily profile. C4XD's programme is targeting a much desired
once-a-day profile.
Oral bioavailability has been demonstrated and there is
particular focus on improving PK properties to achieve a good oral
half-life. C4XD has compounds that match or exceed both whole blood
potency and selectivity values when compared to examples from
current clinical patent estates, with correspondingly improved
activity at a lower dose when profiled in a T-cell gut-homing
pharmacodynamic model.
Haematological Cancer (MALT1 Inhibitor)
Moving towards identification of pre-clinical candidate
shortlist
MALT1 is one of the key regulators of B-cell receptor (BCR) and
T-cell receptor (TCR) signalling. Mutations that lead to
constitutive activation of MALT1 are associated with aggressive
forms of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma and inhibition of MALT1 has
potential therapeutic applicability as a mono therapy for
MALT1-driven cancers such as activated B-cell diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) and in combination with BTK and Bcl inhibitors
across multiple haematological indications, as well as broader
potential in solid tumours and inflammation.
Our Conformetrix technology has yielded multiple structurally
distinct series, two of which have progressed into Lead
Optimisation. Profiling of a Lead compound in a mouse xenograft
study has shown equivalent efficacy at equivalent dose to the
Johnson & Johnson clinical compound JnJ-67856633 (in Phase 1)
and the programme is moving forward to identification of candidate
shortlist molecules. C4XD has initiated partnering discussions for
this programme.
Expansion of Pipeline
As we look to scale our portfolio, early-phase programmes
targeting a number of targets across a range of immuno-inflammatory
diseases are being resourced to identify those with the highest
potential to warrant increased spend and prosecution to and through
Lead Optimisation and eventually into the clinic. These programmes
target clear unmet medical need, combined with significant
commercial potential and a unique opportunity to produce valuable
chemical equity through interpretation of conformational insight
via C4XD's Conformetrix technology. Additionally, we are using our
PatientSeek platform (vide infra) to inform our target selection
choices, based on identification of patient stratification
opportunities and improved trial design. Details of each programme
will be provided once they have matured to Lead Optimisation
stage.
PatientSeek
C4XD has launched a precision medicine platform, PatientSeek,
based on its Taxonomy3(R) technology, following insights from a
successful research collaboration with Garvan Institute of Medical
Research. In the collaboration, C4XD provided Garvan Institute with
the genetic signatures for its PatientSeek sub-groups in
Parkinson's disease. Garvan researchers then applied this as part
of a retrospective analysis of a failed Phase 3 Parkinson's
clinical trial that had not reached its primary endpoint, to assess
if a genetic subgroup of participants showed a benefit from the
therapeutic. Very encouragingly, PatientSeek identified a subgroup
that responded to the trial drug. These results provide the first
validation of PatientSeek's ability to identify patient subgroups
to optimise patient selection, which in turn could lead to enhanced
probability of targeted success in clinical trials. The results
from this study will be submitted for publication in a peer
reviewed journal. Whilst this study was focused on Parkinson's
disease, the PatientSeek platform is disease agnostic and can be
applied to any complex genetic disease and we will look to expand
and explore the immuno-inflammatory diseases subgroups for
application in our own portfolio.
Outlook
C4XD has continued to make huge strides across our portfolio
during the period, including our third global out-licensing deal,
this time with AstraZeneca for our NRF2 Activator programme worth
up to $402 million. This brings our deal value to a total of $1.2
billion with large pharmaceutical companies, further validating our
reputation for generating high-quality small molecules. Following a
review of our expertise and previous successes, C4XD is evolving
its strategy to become a company focused on treatments for
immuno-inflammatory diseases. With our proven expertise in drug
discovery and our rigorous approach to programme development, we
believe that a more focused approach on immuno-inflammatory
diseases will allow us to harness our skillset and take the
development of our programmes further, providing greater value for
shareholders.
