Blood-Borne Infections

PARIS, France I February 13, 2025 I A scheduled review of the E.mbrace phase 3 study (clinical trial identifier: NCT04899336) conducted by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) determined that Sanofi and Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine candidate for extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli was not sufficiently effective at preventing invasive E. coli disease (IED) compared to placebo. No safety signals related to the vaccine candidate were identified and, throughout the study, investigators ensured that participants who developed IED received prompt treatment and care. As a result of the IDMC’s determination, the E.mbrace study is being discontinued. Jean-François Toussaint Global Head of Research and Development Vaccines, Sanofi “E. coli sepsis is a devastating disease and there are no preventative measures available to date. Driven by our ambition to transform the practice of medicine, we entered this ambitious although challenging field. We are disappointed to see that the vaccine was not associated with sufficient efficacy to support the trial continuation, and we will work tirelessly to understand the factors behind the IDMC’s finding and to share further analysis once available. We are grateful to the participants, families and healthcare professionals involved in this development program. While disappointed by this outcome, we remain steadfast in our commitment to drive innovation in R&D by developing first and best-in-class vaccines in areas of high unmet need.” In October 2023, Sanofi entered into an agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen), a Johnson & Johnson company to develop and commercialize the vaccine candidate. Under the terms of the agreement, both parties agreed to co-fund current and future research and development costs. Sanofi paid $250 million in upfront and development milestones to be followed by commercial milestones. The E.mbrace study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, interventional phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a single dose of the vaccine candidate compared to a placebo in the prevention of IED, which includes sepsis and bacteremia (blood infections). The study was initiated in June 2021 enrolling adults aged 60 years or older in stable health with a history of urinary tract infection in the past two years. The study was conducted at over 250 sites across five continents. Janssen Research & Development, LLC, is the trial sponsor and responsible party and will continue appropriate safety follow up for the currently enrolled participants. Financial considerations As a result of the discontinuation, Sanofi has recorded an impairment charge before tax of $250 million in the Q4 2024 IFRS results. This adjustment impacts negatively the full-year IFRS EPS reported in the Q4 2024 results press release on January 30, 2025, by €0.15 from €4.59 previously to €4.44 now. This adjustment will be included in Sanofi’s Form 20-F for 2024 to be filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. However, there is no impact to the business net income / business EPS remaining unchanged respectively at €8,912 million / €7.12 (non-IFRS). There is no change to the financial guidance for 2025 About Sanofi We are an innovative global healthcare company, driven by one purpose: we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. Our team, across the world, is dedicated to transforming the practice of medicine by working to turn the impossible into the possible. We provide potentially life-changing treatment options and life-saving vaccine protection to millions of people globally, while putting sustainability and social responsibility at the center of our ambitions.

HALIFAX, NS / ACCESSWIRE / December 24, 2024 / MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV:MIR) announced today that it has received today, on December 24, 2024, the approval from Health Canada for its Multiplo® Rapid TP/HIV Test (Multiplo® TP/HIV) to be rolled out across Canada, a critical point-of-care tool to address the health crises with HIV and syphilis in Canada. The single Reveal® TP (Syphilis) approval will follow soon after this more complex approval.The Multiplo® TP/HIV rapid test allows healthcare professional to accurately detect both HIV-1/2 and syphilis antibodieswith one sample using a simple finger prick that delivers results immediately. This easy-to-use and high-quality test can be used in any setting and does not need any special storage conditions. Making it the perfect solution for use in hospitals, doctor's offices and other settings and provides another important option in the Canadian market to help people know their status and get connected to treatment and care."Our Multiplo® TP/HIV device is the fastest testing solutions for HIV-1/2 and Syphilis and has been used in various settings and markets (such as in Europe, Colombia etc) for years. The Health Canada Medical Device License for professional-use will immediately address critical gaps in healthcare settings at a fraction of the costs of conventional testing systems," said Hermes Chan, CEO of MedMira, a world leader in developing rapid diagnostics and technologies. "Together with REACH Nexus we aim to supply urban and remote communities across Canada, and with it provide access to a critical needed screening tool. This test will have a significant impact on the already stretched and overburdened health care system by providing a fast and cost-efficient screening method."Health Canada's licensure of the device is based on the results of a landmark clinical study in Alberta, co-led by Dr. Sean B. Rourke, director of REACH Nexus and a scientist with the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael's Hospital (Unity Health Toronto) and Dr. Ameeta Singh at the University of Alberta."We urgently need more rapid testing options approved in Canada to reach the undiagnosed with HIV, syphilis and other blood-borne infections and sexually transmitted infections (STBBIs)," said Dr. Rourke, the director of REACH Nexus at MAP. "We are very excited about this ongoing partnership with MedMira and the critical implementation science work that went into getting this device approved and into the hands of healthcare professionals."Health Canada's approval of the Multiplo® TP/HIV rapid test couldn't come at a more urgent time. The latest data from the Public Health Agency of Canada, shows that new HIV diagnoses soared more than 35% from 2022 to 2023, with rates in Manitoba rising by more than 40%. In Saskatchewan, the rate of HIV was 19.4 per 100,000 people, more than three times the national rate. In 2022, there were 13,953 reported syphilis cases, with rates increasing by 109% compared to 2018, and with congenital syphilis cases seeing a 7% increase from 2021 and a 599% increase from 2018(1). With the rising cases, particularly in underserved and remote communities, the Multiplo® TP/HIV provides an essential testing device to help reach the undiagnosed living with HIV and/or syphilis."These tests are essential amid the rising number of STBBIs and will have real-life impacts," said Dr. Rourke. "Not everyone has access to the testing they need for STBBIs because of health inequities, stigma and various forms of discrimination. MedMira's rapid test is a crucial tool in Canada - so everyone can have access to the testing they need."As part of Health Canada's review and authorization process, Dr. Rourke's team of researchers sourced funding and conducted the landmark studyworking closely with healthcare providers, provincial health ministry and laboratory agencies, community stakeholders, and people with lived experience.The study, conducted from 2020-2022, included over 1,500 participants from clinical settings in Edmonton and northern Alberta. The study found the Multiplo® TP/HIV test to be 100 per cent accurate in identifying HIV infection, and more than 98 per cent accurate in detecting syphilis."Having more HIV rapid tests increases our chances of reaching people in Canada who have HIV and don't know it, and a very significant and increasing number of infectious and congenital syphilis cases" said Dr. Rourke. "This rapid, accessible test helps breakdown barriers that some people face so they can get tested so they know their status. It helps move closer to ending the HIV and syphilis epidemics in Canada."

Presentation Type: Poster presentation Abstract Number: #2515 Date: Sunday December 8, 2024 Time: 6:00-8:00 PM (PST) About Ziihera® (zanidatamab-hrii) Ziihera (zanidatamab-hrii) is a bispecific HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab-hrii with HER2 results in internalization leading to a reduction of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. Zanidatamab-hrii induces complement-dependent cytotoxicity ( CDC ), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). These mechanisms result in tumor growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and in vivo.1 In the United States , Ziihera is indicated for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC 3+) biliary tract cancer (BTC), as detected by an FDA-approved test.1 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval for this indication based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).1 Zanidatamab is not approved anywhere else in the world. Zanidatamab is being developed in multiple clinical trials as a targeted treatment option for patients with solid tumors that express HER2. Zanidatamab is being developed by Jazz and BeiGene, Ltd. (BeiGene) under license agreements from Zymeworks, which first developed the molecule. The FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for zanidatamab development in patients with previously treated HER2 gene-amplified BTC, and two Fast Track designations for zanidatamab: one as a single agent for refractory BTC and one in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy for 1L gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). Additionally, zanidatamab has received Orphan Drug designations from FDA for the treatment of BTC and GEA, as well as Orphan Drug designation from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of BTC and gastric cancer. Important Safety Information for ZIIHERA® WARNING: EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY Exposure to ZIIHERA during pregnancy can cause embryo-fetal harm. Advise patientsof the risk and need for effective contraception. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryo-Fetal ToxicityZIIHERA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In literature reports, use of a HER2-directed antibody during pregnancy resulted in cases of oligohydramnios and oligohydramnios sequence manifesting as pulmonary hypoplasia, skeletal abnormalities, and neonatal death. Verify the pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to the initiation of ZIIHERA. Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential that exposure to ZIIHERA during pregnancy or within 4 months prior to conception can result in fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with ZIIHERA and for 4 months following the last dose of ZIIHERA. Left Ventricular DysfunctionZIIHERA can cause decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). LVEF declined by >10% and decreased to <50% in 4.3% of 233 patients. Left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) leading to permanent discontinuation of ZIIHERA was reported in 0.9% of patients. The median time to first occurrence of LVD was 5.6 months (range: 1.6 to 18.7). LVD resolved in 70% of patients. Assess LVEF prior to initiation of ZIIHERA and at regular intervals during treatment. Withhold dose or permanently discontinue ZIIHERA based on severity of adverse reactions. The safety of ZIIHERA has not been established in patients with a baseline ejection fraction that is below 50%. Infusion-Related ReactionsZIIHERA can cause infusion-related reactions (IRRs). An IRR was reported in 31% of 233 patients treated with ZIIHERA as a single agent in clinical studies, including Grade 3 (0.4%), and Grade 2 (25%). IRRs leading to permanent discontinuation of ZIIHERA were reported in 0.4% of patients. IRRs occurred on the first day of dosing in 28% of patients; 97% of IRRs resolved within one day. Prior to each dose of ZIIHERA, administer premedications to prevent potential IRRs. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of IRR during ZIIHERA administration and as clinically indicated after completion of infusion. Have medications and emergency equipment to treat IRRs available for immediate use. If an IRR occurs, slow, or stop the infusion, and administer appropriate medical management. Monitor patients until complete resolution of signs and symptoms before resuming. Permanently discontinue ZIIHERA in patients with recurrent severe or life-threatening IRRs. DiarrheaZIIHERA can cause severe diarrhea. Diarrhea was reported in 48% of 233 patients treated in clinical studies, including Grade 3 (6%) and Grade 2 (17%). If diarrhea occurs, administer antidiarrheal treatment as clinically indicated. Perform diagnostic tests as clinically indicated to exclude other causes of diarrhea. Withhold or permanently discontinue ZIIHERA based on severity. ADVERSE REACTIONS Serious adverse reactions occurred in 53% of 80 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive BTC who received ZIIHERA. Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included biliary obstruction (15%), biliary tract infection (8%), sepsis (8%), pneumonia (5%), diarrhea (3.8%), gastric obstruction (3.8%), and fatigue (2.5%). A fatal adverse reaction of hepatic failure occurred in one patient who received ZIIHERA. The most common adverse reactions in 80 patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive BTC who received ZIIHERA (≥20%) were diarrhea (50%), infusion-related reaction (35%), abdominal pain (29%), and fatigue (24%). USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric UseSafety and efficacy of ZIIHERA have not been established in pediatric patients. Geriatric UseOf the 80 patients who received ZIIHERA for unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive BTC, there were 39 (49%) patients 65 years of age and older. Thirty-seven (46%) were aged 65-74 years old and 2 (3%) were aged 75 years or older. No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between these patients and younger adult patients.
