HONG KONG<\/span>, GERMANTOWN, Md.<\/span> and\u00a0SUZHOU, China<\/span>, June 28, 2024<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Sirnaomics Ltd. (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group” or “Sirnaomics”; stock code: 2257), a leading biopharmaceutical company engaging in discovery\u00a0and development of advanced RNAi therapeutics, today announced that the Group has\u00a0completed STP707 Phase I clinical study with strong safety profile and stable disease\u00a0activity for treatment of pancreatic cancer patients. This is a dose escalation study conducted\u00a0in 11 oncology clinics in the U.S. The study involved six cohorts, consisting of 50 patients with various cancers, of which 11 had pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n

In an earlier news release from the Company in August 2023<\/span>, the Group noted completion of all dosing regimens for its Phase I study of STP707 for the treatment of multiple solid\u00a0tumors. This basket study has enrolled patients suffering from various types of late-stage\u00a0cancers and failing after multiple rounds of treatments. The study is to evaluate the safety,\u00a0tolerability and anti-tumor activity of the Group’s siRNA (small interfering RNA) drug\u00a0candidate, STP707, through intravenous infusion (IV) with six cohorts of escalating doses.\u00a0Patients including pancreatic, colorectal, liver, melanoma and other cancers, with advanced\/\u00a0metastatic or surgically unresectable solid tumors, refractory to standard therapy, were recruited. Six dose levels (3mg, 6mg, 12mg, 24mg, 36mg and 48mg) were explored in ascending doses. Patients received IV infusion on Day 1, 8, 15 and 22 of a 28-days cycle.<\/p>\n

11 pancreatic patients (five males and six females, average age 64 years) were enrolled in the study. Patients were heavily pre-treated and received, on average, three lines of therapy\u00a0prior to enrollment in the study (including Gemcitabine, Paclitaxel and Folfirinox). The\u00a0preliminary results indicated that the mean treatment cycles completed was three cycles\u00a0(average 12 doses). The average days for stable disease for all 11 patients with STP707 treatment was 92 days,\u00a0while 31 days for the 12mg group, 65 days for 24mg group and 112 days for 48mg\u00a0group, including one patient ongoing at 281 days. No treatment related adverse events\u00a0(TRAE) were reported for the 11 patients, except for one patient with a Grade 2 infusion\u00a0reaction. Non-treatment related adverse events were secondary to their advanced metastatic\u00a0disease including intestinal obstruction, abdominal distention, gastrointestinal obstruction,\u00a0embolism, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, tumor pain, hypoxia and dyspnea.<\/p>\n

The maximum tolerated dose of STP707 for all 50 late-stage cancer patients was not\u00a0reached even at 48mg dosage level. STP707 was very well-tolerated in a heavily pretreated\u00a0cancer patient population. The 11 pancreatic subset of patients showed low toxicity\u00a0and relatively long stable disease at various dosages (106, 281 and 302 days), and warrants\u00a0further study with STP707 alone or in combination with immune check point inhibitors,\u00a0given the preclinical documented ability of STP707 to recruit T-cells to the tumor microenvironment\u00a0(TME). This is the first time a polypeptide nanoparticle-based siRNA cancer therapeutic has demonstrated early positive safety and efficacy results for the treatment of late-stage pancreatic cancer patients.<\/p>\n

“We are very excited to see STP707, our leading siRNA drug product for the treatment\u00a0of heavily pre-treated pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest tumor types), shows these\u00a0strong results upon intravenous administration. This is a very promising result for RNAibased\u00a0cancer therapeutics for the treatment of metastasized tumors.” said Dr. Patrick Lu<\/span>,\u00a0Ph.D., Founder, Chairman of the Board, Executive Director, President and Chief Executive\u00a0Officer of Sirnaomics. “The strong safety profile, long-lasting stable disease efficacy and\u00a0dose-dependent antitumor activity of this intravenously administered STP707 formulation, present a potential novel cancer therapeutic, either as a single drug or in combination with immune check point inhibitor drugs.”<\/p>\n

About STP707<\/p>\n

STP707 is composed of two siRNA oligonucleotides, targeting TGF-\u03b21 and COX-2\u00a0mRNA respectively, formulated in nanoparticles with a Histidine-Lysine Co-Polymer\u00a0(HKP+H) peptide as the carrier. The specific carrier peptide is distinct from the carrier used\u00a0in Sirnaomics’ STP705 product. Each individual siRNA was demonstrated to inhibit the\u00a0expression of their target mRNAs and combining the two siRNA’s produces a synergistic\u00a0effect that diminishes pro-inflammatory factors. Over-expression of TGF-\u03b21 and COX-2\u00a0have been well-characterized in playing key regulatory roles in tumorigenesis. In preclinical\u00a0studies with STP707, IV administration resulted in knock-down of TGF-\u03b21 and COX-2\u00a0gene expressions in various organs including liver, lung and xenograft tumor. In addition,\u00a0in preclinical models STP707 had shown strong antitumor activity in various solid tumor\u00a0types. Using a mouse liver orthotopic tumor model, a combination regimen of STP707 with\u00a0an immune checkpoint antibody has demonstrated a potent antitumor activity.<\/p>\n
