VAL201 Clinical Trial Full Data Results
Full dataset confirms VAL201 is a safe and well-tolerated drug candidate
Company to host webcast for investors on 8 December 2020 at 2 pm GMT
London, UK – ValiRx plc ("ValiRx", AIM:VAL), a clinical stage drug development company, is pleased to report that it has received the full dataset to be used for the Clinical Study Report from the Phase 1/2 clinical trial of its lead asset, VAL201, for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer and performed at University College Hospital (UCLH), London. This expands the positive headline results announced on 28 September 2020.
The dataset provides a complete breakdown of the full data of safety and tolerability as well as evidence for encouraging disease impact as observed during the clinical trial. This data will be used to formulate the Clinical Study Report and to report the results on the www.clinicaltrials.gov database. Additional detailed analysis of the results will form the basis of peer-reviewed journal publications.
The full dataset is available to download on the Company website, https://www.valirx.com/our-pipeline/val201 .
Key details of the findings:
Recruitment Criteria
· Twelve patients were recruited according to the criteria of having incurable, locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer with rising PSA[1] (Prostate-Specific Antigen) on three consecutive samples and absent or very mild prostate cancer-related symptoms.
· The demographics and a detailed breakdown of the patients recruited is provided in the download.
Disease Impact
· The headline results released in the Company announcement on 28 September 2020 highlighted the response rate of 54.5%, where response was confirmed by a lack of disease progression by PCWG2 (Prostate Cancer Working Group 2) criteria. The dataset now received provides the detailed breakdown of this by providing both the PSA modulation afforded by the treatment, and the tumour response.
· The PSA data, a recognised surrogate of disease progression, shows two patients seeing a decrease in PSA during their treatment period, one of which maintained the decrease throughout the trial. An analysis of the doubling time of patients shows a statistically significant (p<0.05, two-tailed Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test for paired samples) increase in PSA doubling time comparing pre-treatment doubling time to post-treatment doubling time. The PSA doubling time would be expected to be unchanged if the treatment was having no impact, so an increase in doubling time demonstrates a slowing rate of growth of PSA levels.
· The tumour response data demonstrates that patients did not have an increase in metastatic lesions during the treatment period, and that metastatic lesions already present did not grow at all in two out of three patients, suggesting a positive influence of VAL201 on the disease.
Safety and Tolerability
The further breakdown of the safety data confirms the well tolerated nature of the drug.
Additionally, the initial pharmacokinetic analysis supports the safety profile in confirming the drug is processed and cleared from the body in the manner expected.
The Company expects to publish the data on the National Institute of Health's (NIH) public database ClinicalTrials.gov, as well as produce research papers for peer-reviewed publications.
Investor Webcast
ValiRx will host a webcast for investors on Tuesday, 8 December 2020 at 2pm GMT to discuss the findings of the study.
· Prior to the webcast, questions can be submitted online to [email protected]
· During the webcast, questions can be submitted through the webcast link below.
To participate, please click on the link below at the designated time:
https://webcasting.brrmedia.co.uk/broadcast/5fc12476b19325729a9d841f
The webcast will be available on demand following a link on the Company's website after the broadcast. This webcast replaces the usual monthly Q&A publication, and a written summary of questions with answers will be provided after the event.
Dr Suzy Dilly, Chief Executive Officer commented: "This data demonstrates the potential of VAL201 for further development towards a treatment for patients with prostate cancer. Providing the data breakdown to support and explain the headline numbers is a crucial step and allows us to delve further into analysis of the results. The highly encouraging 54.5% response rate remains unchanged and being able to interrogate the data in more detail allows us to explore the possibilities for optimising the treatment through future trial with partners.
"We continue to share the dataset with potential industry partners who expressed an interest after the headline results were released in September 2020, and I look forward to the discussions that I am confident will arise as we evaluate all options for further clinical development. We would like to thank the team for their hard work and our shareholders for their support."

About VAL201
VAL201 is a short peptide being studied as a potential treatment for prostate cancer. The peptide structure is inspired by the naturally occurring androgen receptor and is designed to intercept and prevent the binding of the androgen receptor to SRC kinase – an enzyme implicated in cancerous cell growth pathways. By preventing the androgen-mediated activation of SRC kinase, VAL201 can potentially prevent cancerous cell proliferation (or growth) without interfering with other functions of either the androgen receptor or SRC kinase. This precision method, mimicking a natural process, proposes a high specificity of cancer treatment with a lower side effect profile. VAL201 was licensed from CRT (part of CRUK) in 2010 and developed through preclinical development into this clinical trial in patients with advanced prostate cancer. The study was held at University College Hospital (UCLH), London.
About the VAL201-001 clinical trial
The clinical trial: "A Phase I/II, Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of VAL201 in Patients with locally Advanced or Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Other Advanced Solid Tumours" opened to recruitment in December 2014 and closed in January 2020.
Patients were scheduled for treatment of a once weekly injection of VAL201 in 3 week cycles for a maximum of 6 cycles. A total of 12 patients received at least 1 dose of VAL201.
Patients were eligible if they were: Adult men (over the age of 18) with incurable locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer who had relapsed following radiotherapy treatment, are in 'watchful waiting' or where a policy of intermittent hormone therapy had been decided. Patients were expected to have no or only mild symptoms relating to their prostate cancer. (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02280317)
About Prostate Cancer
Around 48,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK each year[2]. In men, it is the most common cancer in the UK. Prostate cancer is most common in older men. On average each year 35 out of 100 (35%) of new cases are in men aged 75 and over.

Update on detection of COVID-19 products
First deployments of Microtox PD in Ireland
License of patented breathalyser for Microtox BT COVID-19 breath test and initiation of Phase 3 field trials
DeepVerge has commenced deployment of near-source wastewater contamination test equipment ("Microtox PD") into water treatment plants in Ireland, with first shipments to China and the US expected by year-end.
Microtox PD units, retrofitted with AI based optofluidic pathogen identification scanners, are also being shipped to the University of Aberdeen CAT3 laboratory, adding to the ongoing trials with the live SARS-CoV-2, supplied by Public Health England.
In addition, DeepVerge has agreed to license a patented breathalyser from PulMoBioMed Limited ("PBM"), a spin-out technology company of Northumbria University, to capture SARS-CoV-2 particles in breath condensate for the DeepVerge optofluidic breath test ("Microtox BT").
Phase 3 field trials are expected to begin shortly at multiple sites in Northern England. In collaboration with EcoWaterOS consortia partners, aggregated anonymised data will provide datasets for AI model simulations from human volunteers who will undergo COVID-19 testing with a combination of Microtox BT, a lateral flow antigen test and a rt-PCR test. Sufficient datasets are anticipated to be complete early in 2021.
Gerard Brandon, CEO of DeepVerge, Commented:
"Phase 3 field trial testing is the last step to establish permanent anonymised mass surveillance of dangerous pathogens in wastewater, in real-time. The field trials will combine the deployment of Microtox PD wastewater units and daily testing of individual volunteers with a Microtox BT breathalyser test, a lateral flow test and a PCR test. The data from these tests are expected to simultaneously identify the source of COVID-19 cases, identify COVID-19 clusters, and indicate the size of each cluster in real-time. As the data grows, AI will offer the potential to predict the trajectory of growth of future clusters of Sars-CoV-2 or any future dangerous pathogen. As we progress towards commercialisation, PulMoBioMed's patented technology will enable a quick roll-out of our Microtox BT breath test once field trials have completed. We look forward to reporting the results in due course."
Dr Sterghios Moschos, MD of PulMoBioMed, added:
"We are delighted to be working with the team at DeepVerge and adding our PBM-Hale device for collecting exhaled breath condensate to the Microtox BT Project, and look forward to combining our respective technologies to deliver a real-time solution for the mass surveillance of COVID-19."

PDS Biotech and Farmacore Announce Updates to Co-Development of Versamune®-Based COVID-19 Vaccine
PDS0203 prioritized for clinical development by PDS Biotech and Farmacore after successful meeting with Brazilian Drug Regulatory Agency
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PDS Biotechnology Corporation (Nasdaq: PDSB), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing novel cancer therapies and infectious disease vaccines based on the Company's proprietary Versamune® T-cell activating technology, today announced progress on its co-development program with Farmacore Biotechnology for a Versamune®-based vaccine aimed at preventing COVID-19 infection.
Based on promising and robust preclinical data with PDS0203, and in the interest of rapid development, PDS Biotech and Farmacore have jointly prioritized advancement of PDS0203 to human clinical trials. PDS Biotech had previously announced the parallel development of two Versamune®-based COVID-19 vaccines PDS0203 and PDS0204 each containing different SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The decision to jointly develop PDS0203 was made with the support of the Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA) following a successful pre-investigational new drug meeting on November 06, 2020. ANVISA and Farmacore reviewed the PDS0203 data and agreed on the path forward for official submission of a final data package and the phase 1/2 human clinical trial protocol. Farmacore is in discussions with specific agencies of the government to extend the preclinical funding to cover the upcoming human clinical trial anticipated to begin during the first half of 2021.
As previously disclosed, PDS Biotech has generated robust preclinical data demonstrating that PDS0203 elicits a 30-45 fold increase in the induction of highly active and potent virus-specific T-cells within 14 days of treatment compared to the vaccine without Versamune®. Importantly, the study also demonstrated induction of the long-lasting virus-specific memory T-cells necessary for longer term protection. The vaccine has also demonstrated strong and long-lasting induction of neutralizing antibodies. The PDS0203 subunit vaccine is based on recombinant proteins and does not require the use of inactivated viruses, traditional adjuvants, DNA or RNA to induce robust protective immune responses.
"PDS0203 may present strong potential to provide the breadth and level of immune responses necessary for a safe and effective vaccine with long-term protection against COVID-19," said Dr. Greg Conn, Chief Scientific Officer of PDS Biotechnology.
"PDS Biotech and Farmacore are now one step closer to advancing our Versamune®-based COVID-19 vaccine into the clinic," said Dr. Frank Bedu-Addo, Chief Executive Officer of PDS Biotech. "The preclinical results of PDS0203 demonstrate its potential to induce a robust and broad immune response. We look forward to evaluating our next-generation vaccine in planned human clinical trials in partnership with Farmacore and to advance our understanding of the potential of novel Versamune®-based vaccines like PDS0203 to provide long-term protection against infection with viruses such as SARS-CoV-2."
"In this global pandemic, it is incumbent upon the scientific community to be flexible and to ensure we are prioritizing the vaccine with the most clinical potential and that we can progress most quickly," said Helena Faccioli, CEO of Farmacore. "We are excited to continue advancing the partnership with PDS Biotech, and we are thrilled to have the support of ANVISA to provide the opportunity to develop a treatment in Brazil in the fight against this pandemic."
The companies plan to utilize multiple research and development sites in the United States and Brazil to progress preclinical and clinical development PDS0203. Farmacore will lead the regulatory and clinical trial efforts in Brazil while PDS Biotech will continue to contribute scientific expertise and operational support.

Launch of LoopUp Rooms
Simple, accessible and competitively-priced HD video conferencing suites
LoopUp Group plc (AIM: LOOP), the premium cloud communications provider, is pleased to announce the launch of LoopUp Rooms. LoopUp Rooms combines the Group's premium remote meeting solution with off-the-shelf hardware to create competitively-priced, plug-and-play video conferencing suites accessible to all users.
As businesses see an increase in remote and hybrid working, demand is growing for collaborative spaces that allow employees to communicate securely and productively with clients and colleagues. Until recently, video suites have often been expensive to install, complex to use and inaccessible to many employees. By contrast, LoopUp Rooms is a simple, plug-and-play solution that can be set up in minutes and uses off-the-shelf hardware – a display screen, a high quality camera, a mini-PC, a touch-screen controller and a conference room phone.
Users join meetings with one touch from a touch-screen controller, which then uses the high quality video and display of the room's screen and camera, and reliable managed quality-of-service audio of the room's speaker phone. Users can reserve the meeting room direct from Outlook, which adds their LoopUp meeting details to the calendar on the room's touch-screen controller for easy joining.
Steve Flavell and Michael Hughes, co-CEOs of LoopUp Group, commented,
"With remote and distributed working now the new normal for many, a growing number of meetings are taking place by video conference. Businesses need more meeting rooms equipped with technology for employees to collaborate effectively and comfortably with clients and colleagues. We're facilitating this by making premium video conferencing suites more cost competitive, accessible and intuitive for users without having to call upon IT for assistance."

Headline Results of MTX110 Phase I DIPG Study
Phase II Dose Confirmed and Encouraging Survival Data
Midatech Pharma PLC (AIM: MTPH.L; Nasdaq: MTP), an R&D biotechnology company focused on improving the bio-delivery and biodistribution of medicines, is pleased to announce encouraging headline results from a Phase I study at the University of California, San Francisco ("UCSF") in patients with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma ("DIPG") (the "UCSF study" NCT03566199).
The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the dosage regimen to be used in a proposed Phase II study of the safety and efficacy of MTX110 in patients with DIPG. Preliminary high-level data from the UCSF study supports a dose of between 60μM and 90μM of MTX110, depending upon patient tolerance over the course of 12 infusions in Phase II.
In total, seven patients were recruited into the UCSF study. Patients were newly diagnosed with DIPG and received focal external beam radiation therapy four to 14 weeks before commencement of MTX110 treatment. Eligibility required a pontine location of the tumour with diffuse involvement of at least two thirds of the pons and no evidence of metastatic disease. Patients were not excluded by total tumour volume. MTX110 was administered directly into the tumour via a micro-catheter using convection enhanced delivery ("CED") with gadolinium-enhanced intra-operative MRI to guide and track drug distribution to the tumour. Patients could receive up to 12 cycles of treatment every four to eight weeks. The dose was escalated between and within patients as tolerated initially by increasing the infusion volume at a concentration of 30μM MTX110 and then with higher drug concentrations of 60μM and 90μM as the sixth and seventh dose increments, respectively.
At the interim cut-off date (30 September 2020), median overall survival based on Kaplan Meier analysis was 26.06 months (CI 11.3 – 26.06 months) and overall survival at 12 months (OS12) was 71.4% (five of seven patients alive). Three patients remain alive and continue to be monitored. Survival was not an endpoint of the UCSF study nor was the study powered for statistical significance and therefore no conclusions as to the impact of MTX110 on overall survival rates can be drawn from these data.
The proposed Phase II trial is expected to evaluate overall survival at 12 months as the primary endpoint in 19 evaluable patients. The planned design is single arm and statistically powered for comparisons with defined historical survival data. MTX110 is expected to be delivered using an alternative CED catheter system that enables regular drug infusions directly into the tumour without a need for repeated surgery.
DIPG is a primary brain tumour arising in the pons (middle) of the brain stem, is diffusely infiltrating and cannot be surgically removed. Occurring mostly in children, the median survival rate in a cohort of 316 cases was 10.0 months and OS12 was 35% (Jansen et al, 2015. Neuro-Oncology 17(1):160-166). Although radiotherapy prolongs survival, the majority of patients die within one year following diagnosis. Systemic chemotherapy is ineffective, often due to an inability of agents to cross the blood-brain barrier. Approximately 1,000 (data on file) individuals are diagnosed with DIPG worldwide each year.
Commenting Sabine Mueller MD PhD, Principal Investigator of the UCSF study, said: "The study has determined a proposed dose range for MTX110 for Phase II and has shown that repeated delivery of MTX110 via CED is feasible and safe. In an upcoming Phase II study efficacy in this patient population will be assessed."
Commenting further, Steve Damment, EVP R&D of Midatech, said: "DIPG is a devastating pediatric brain cancer with limited treatment options and very poor outcomes. The overall survival data from this Phase I study are encouraging, although further study of MTX110 in DIPG is required to establish whether it can make a difference to these patients and their families."
Online Q&A Session
Stephen Stamp (CEO and CFO) and Steve Damment (EVP R&D) will be hosting an online Q&A session regarding this latest development at 2.00 p.m. London time / 9.00 a.m. US East Coast time on Monday 19 October 2020. This session is open to all existing and prospective shareholders. Those who wish to attend should register via:

About MTX110
MTX110 is a water-soluble form of panobinostat free base, achieved through complexation with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), that enables convection-enhanced delivery (CED) at potentially chemotherapeutic doses directly to the site of the tumour. Panobinostat is a hydroxamic acid and acts as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (pan-HDAC inhibitor). The currently available oral formulation of panobinostat lactate (Farydak®) is not suitable for treatment of brain cancers owing to poor blood-brain barrier penetration and inadequate brain drug concentrations. Based on favourable translational science data, MTX110 is being evaluated clinically as a treatment for DIPG (NCT03566199, NCT04264143) and recurrent medulloblastoma (NCT04315064), and preclinically for treatment of glioblastoma (SNO 2020 Abstract TMOD-27). MTX110 is delivered directly into and around the patient's tumour via a catheter system (e.g. CED or fourth ventricle infusions) to bypass the blood-brain barrier. This technique exposes the tumour to very high drug concentrations while simultaneously minimising systemic drug levels and the potential for toxicity and other side effects. Panobinostat has demonstrated high potency against DIPG tumour cells in in vitro and in vivo models, and in a key study it was the most promising of 83 anticancer agents tested in 14 patient-derived DIPG cell lines (Grasso et al, 2015. Nature Medicine 21(6), 555-559).

Competitive contract win for PAM and PEM solutions with leading healthcare provider
Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI.L), a leading vendor of cloud-based cybersecurity software, is pleased to announce a contract win with a leading provider of health services across the UK. The order was secured against competition from two other suppliers of Privileged Access Management ("PAM") technologies.
The new customer has made a multi-product purchase including Osirium's PAM solution and 5,000 endpoints of Osirium's Privileged Endpoint Management ("PEM") platform. This combination provides them a complete solution from protecting privileged user accounts through to protecting privileges at the end-point level. Osirium's Professional Services team will assist with the implementation and rollout of both products as part of the contract.
Key factors in both Osirium PAM and Osirium PEM being selected over competitors were Osirium's collaborative and consultative engagement model and approach to the project. The solutions' simplicity of deployment and ease of use were also large factors in the decision as the customer is looking to deploy rapidly to gain an immediate return on investment. The transparency of the licensing model made it straightforward to see what was included in Osirium's offering, and the ability of Osirium's PAM platform to securely automate essential processes was also a key differentiator.
The Osirium solutions are to be implemented to address multiple operational and security challenges. Addressing potential threats to the IT infrastructure, such as ransomware attacks, Osirium PEM will control and remove local user admin rights, while the PAM platform will be used to control and audit internal and third party access to critical servers, applications and networking equipment, including the ability to automate simple and complex IT tasks.
David Guyatt, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Having finished the previous quarter with a string of excellent orders from new clients, I am delighted that Osirium is starting the new quarter in a similar vein with another new customer and competitive win.
Our industry regularly talks about the 'Principle of Least Privilege' – delivering security by permitting only the minimum level of privileged access. By offering the complete Privileged Access Security portfolio of solutions, we help customers make this principle a reality, and this new contact win is a clear illustration of that philosophy. Osirium PAM secures the vital infrastructure and Osirium PEM provides the balance between infrastructure and users, making the desktop safer than ever."
