Osteosarcoma ● Second most common type of primary bone cancer 1 ● Disease of children and young adults 2 – Most common between ages of 10 -20 years 2 – Accounts for >10% of all solid tumours in adolescents aged 15 -19 years 3 ● More common in males than females 3 ● Incidence: 0. 2 -0. 3 per 100, 000 population in Europe 3 – Estimated 1, 135 new cases every year in Europe 1 1.

Osteosarcoma ● Most common sites are ends of long bones 1 – Approximately half of tumours begin around the knee ● Around 20% of newly diagnosed patients have detectable lung metastases 1 – Almost all patients have subclinical microscopic metastases – Death from osteosarcoma is almost always the result of progressive pulmonary metastases ● Relapse rate in newly diagnosed patients can be as high as 30% 2 – Most recurrences occur as lung metastases 1 1.

Minimal improvement in osteosarcoma survival since 1980 s Historical: Surgery alone Introduction of chemotherapy Adapted from: 1. Anninga JK et al. Eur J Cancer 2011; 47(16): 2431 -45 Attempted refinement of chemotherapy EUCAN/MEP/2013 -10019 September 2013
Minimal improvement in osteosarcoma survival since 1980 s ● Before the 1970 s patients underwent amputation and no chemotherapy – Long term overall survival was <20%1 ● By the mid 1980 s long term overall survival up to 50 -60% 1 ● Some studies showed better rates, but overall little significant improvement for over three decades 1 ● Meta-analysis of chemotherapy studies showed 1: – 5 year overall survival of 60% with 2 -drug regimen compared with 66% for 3 -drug regimen (p=0. 04) – No benefit of a fourth drug ● Most investigators agree treatment has reached a plateau 2 1. Anninga JK et al. Eur J Cancer 2011; 47(16): 2431 -45. 2. Meyers PA. Expert Revs Anticancer Ther 2009; 9: 1035 -1049. EUCAN/MEP/2013 -10019 September 2013
Significant unmet need in osteosarcoma treatment ● Today, long-term (5 -year) survival for localised disease is 50 -60% 1 ● Continuing improvements in survival have been seen for many childhood cancers, but the news is less positive for osteosarcoma 2 − No improvement in past 30 years despite the introduction of multiagent chemotherapy 1 ● Therefore, improving overall survival for osteosarcoma patients represents a significant unmet need 1.

The potential role of immunotherapy in osteosarcoma ● Immunotherapy is a treatment strategy which upregulates the body’s immune response to cancer cells and thus increases tumouricidal activity 1 ● There is a growing body of evidence to support immunotherapy as an effective treatment in osteosarcoma 1 ● Postoperative infection after endoprosthetic surgery has been shown to improve survival outcome which suggested a role for infectioninduced anti-tumour immune response 2 1.

The evidence for immunotherapy in osteosarcoma ● Potential strategies targeting the host immune system include: - Immune modulation (interferon-α 1, muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl ethanolamine MTP-PE 2) - Cellular therapy (cytotoxic T-cells, primed dendritic cells 3) ● Study results cannot be extrapolated across immunotherapeutic agents: – Immunotherapy with interferon-α as an adjuvant therapy has been evaluated following initial encouraging results 1 however preliminary data from the EURAMOS-1 trial concluded that there is no evidence to support interferon-α in this setting 4 – Mepact has demonstrated a proven benefit on overall survival 2 1. 2. 3. 4.

Introduction - What is Mepact? ● Mepact (mifamurtide) is L-MTP-PE, a liposomal formulation of Muramyl Tripeptide Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (MTP-PE)1 – Liposomal formulation facilitates uptake by tissue macrophages after i. v. infusion – A potent activator of macrophages ● L-MTP-PE was initially developed as an immunostimulant with significant anti-tumour effects in preclinical models 1, 2 ● MTP-PE is a synthetic analog of muramyl dipeptide (MDP)3 – The smallest natural immune stimulatory component of the mycobacterium cell wall 1 1. Nardin A. et al. Current Cancer Drug Targets. 2006; 6: 123 -133 2. Fidler IJ. et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA. 1981; 78: 1680 -1684 3. Mepact Sm. PC, March 2013 http: //www. medicines. org. uk/emc/medicine/22763 EUCAN/MEP/2013 -10019 September 2013
Mepact is well studied and characterised ● Extensive supporting data at the time of Marketing Authorisation submission (November 2006) – Administered to more than 700 patients in clinical trials 1 – More than 100 pre-clinical studies 1 ● 86 pharmacology studies, 12 pharmacokinetic studies and 20 toxicology studies were submitted as part of the EMA dossier 1 – Extensive clinical development program ● 18 Phase I and II studies were submitted as part of EMA dossier 1 1.

Mepact is well studied and characterised ● Robust Phase III clinical data 1 – Leading paediatric cooperative study group (COG*) clinical trial – One of the largest studies ever completed – Consistent, significant and long-term survival benefit ● Almost one third reduction in relative risk of death with an absolute risk reduction of 8% (p=0. 03)1 – Favourable benefit/risk profile 2 ● Granted Orphan Medicinal Product Status in 20043 ● One of most studied paediatric oncology drugs * COG – Children’s Oncology Group 1.

Mepact development pathway ● In pre-clinical models, Mepact was proven to be an immunostimulant with significant anti-tumour effects 1 – Anti-tumour effects are macrophage mediated ● Direct (activated macrophage tumour killing) ● Indirect (cytokine mediated, activation of immune cells) ● Liposomal formulation facilitates uptake by tissue macrophages after i. v. injection 1 – Particularly in lungs, nasopharynx, spleen, liver 2 ● Following pre-clinical models, results in dogs stimulated additional interest in Mepact 3 – Comparable model for human osteosarcoma 1.
