MB-108

WORCESTER, Mass., March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Bio, Inc. (“Mustang” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MBIO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on translating today’s medical breakthroughs in cell and gene therapies into potential cures for difficult-to-treat cancers and rare genetic diseases, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the full-year ended December 31, 2023. "2023 was an exciting year for Mustang filled with many highlights, including compelling interim data from Mustang’s multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial of MB-106 presented at the 2023 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, which builds upon the stellar data presented earlier in the year from the MB-106 Phase 1/2 single institution clinical trial conducted at Fred Hutch. In both the multicenter Phase 1/2 trial and the single institution Phase 1/2 trial, the observed deepening and durability of responses are very gratifying. We believe the CAR T-cell persistence of up to 3 years in the original single institution trial at Fred Hutch and up to 1 year in the current Mustang-sponsored multicenter trial are important potential contributors to the deepening and durability of responses," said Manuel Litchman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Mustang. "We plan to move ahead with the first ever registrational CAR-T trial focused on relapsed or refractory Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (“WM”), a subtype of indolent lymphoma with no FDA-approved therapy or standard of care in the third-line setting and no FDA-approved CAR-T for any line of therapy. We expect to treat the first patient in the second half of 2024, which could enable topline results in the second half of 2026. In order to facilitate interactions with the FDA throughout this process, we anticipate requesting Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (‘RMAT’) designation for indolent lymphoma – which includes WM – from the FDA in the first half of 2024. Advantages of the RMAT designation include all the benefits of the Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designation programs, including early interactions with FDA.” Dr. Litchman continued, “Additionally, we are evaluating the potential to initiate a first-ever Phase 1 multicenter clinical trial at City of Hope (“COH”) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (“UAB”) to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MB-109, a novel combination of MB-101 (IL13Rα2‐targeted CAR T-cell therapy) and MB-108 (HSV-1 oncolytic virus) in adult patients with recurrent GBM and high-grade astrocytomas that express IL13Rα2 on the surface of the tumor cells. The combination leverages MB-108 to reshape the tumor microenvironment (“TME”) and make cold tumors “hot,” which could potentially enhance the clinical effect of MB-101 CAR T-cell therapy. As per a recent publication in Nature Medicine, two patients treated solely with MB-101 who had high levels of intratumoral CD3+ T-cells pre-therapy (i.e., “hot” tumors) achieved complete responses lasting 7.5 and 66+ months, respectively. Also noteworthy is our continued work with the Mayo Clinic to progress our exclusively licensed novel in vivo CAR-T technology platform, for which we anticipate an upcoming publication of proof-of-concept research in a murine tumor model in 2024." Financial Results: As of December 31, 2023, Mustang’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $7.0 million, compared to $76.7 million as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of $69.7 million year-over-year. In 2023 Mustang made a $30.4 million payment to terminate existing debt. Mustang continues to evaluate opportunities to reduce its cash utilization while focusing on its top priority development programs. Research and development expenses were $40.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $62.5 million for 2022. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses included in research and development were $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for 2022. Mustang recorded a gain on the sale of property and equipment of $1.5 million, in connection with the sale of assets to uBriGene. General and administrative expenses were $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $12.2 million for 2022. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses included in general and administrative expenses were $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $0.7 million for 2022. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $51.6 million, or $6.00 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $77.5 million, or $10.09 per share, for 2022. 2023 and Recent Corporate Highlights: General Corporate: In July 2023, Mustang announced that it amended its previously announced asset purchase agreement with uBriGene (Boston) Biosciences Inc. (“uBriGene”) and closed the transaction. Per the terms of the amended asset purchase agreement, at closing, uBriGene acquired all of Mustang’s assets primarily relating to the manufacturing and production of cell and gene therapies at Mustang’s manufacturing facility in Worcester, Massachusetts, for upfront consideration of $6 million in cash. An additional $5 million contingent payment will be payable to Mustang upon (i) Mustang raising $10 million in gross proceeds from equity raises following the closing of the transaction and (ii) completion of the assignment of Mustang’s lease to uBriGene, which remains subject to landlord’s approval, within two years of the closing. Unless and until the lease is transferred to uBriGene, Mustang will retain its facility lease and facility personnel and will continue to occupy the leasehold premises and manufacture there its lead product candidate, MB-106. Clearance for assignment of Mustang’s lease to uBriGene remains under review by the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), and Mustang and uBriGene are continuing discussions with CFIUS regarding the nature and extent of national security risk posed by the assignment. In October 2023, Mustang completed a registered direct offering priced at-the-market for approximately $4.4 million in gross proceeds. MB-106 (CD20-targeted CAR T-cell therapy): Mustang’s lead clinical candidate is MB-106, a CD20-targeted, autologous CAR T-cell therapy to treat a wide range of hematologic malignancies, including WM and follicular lymphoma (“FL”). MB-106 continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and efficacy pro both the Fred Hutch single institution and Mustang multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trials. In December 2023, Mustang announced initial data from its ongoing multicenter, open-label, non-randomized Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of MB-106 CAR T-cell therapy at the 2023 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Initial data show that all patients responded clinically to treatment with MB-106 (n=9), with a 100% overall response rate for patients with FL and WM. 100% of patients with FL (n=5) had a complete response; 1 very good partial response and 2 partial responses were observed in WM patients (n=3); and the hairy cell leukemia variant (“HCL-v”) patient experienced stable disease, with prolonged, ongoing independence from blood transfusions. Complete responses were observed in patients previously treated with CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy. MB-106 demonstrated a tolerable safety pro patients with indolent NHL, with no occurrence of cytokine release syndrome (“CRS”) above grade 1, and no immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (“ICANS”) of any grade, despite not using prophylactic tocilizumab or dexamethasone. Outpatient administration was allowed and found to be feasible. MB-106 CAR T-cell expansion and persistence in patients was demonstrated. The FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to MB-106 for the treatment of WM, and results from this arm of the multicenter trial are expected to support an accelerated Phase 2 registration strategy for WM, with the first pivotal Phase 2 patient with WM to be treated potentially in 2024. Mazyar Shadman, M.D., M.P.H., Study Chair, Associate Professor and physician at Fred Hutch and University of Washington, also presented data from the ongoing Fred Hutch Phase 1/2 clinical trial specific to two B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma cohorts, FL and WM. In the FL data cohort (n=20), an overall response rate (“ORR”) of 95% was seen, of which 80% of patients experienced a complete response and 15% had a partial response. The complete response patients include a patient who was previously treated with a CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy. Of the six patients who experienced cytokine release syndrome (“CRS”), only one had Grade 2, while the remaining five had Grade 1. Ten patients continue to experience complete response for more than 10 months, four patients have experienced complete response for more than two years (all ongoing), and the first patient enrolled has sustained complete response for more than 3 years. In the WM cohort (n=6), all of whom had received prior Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, two patients experienced complete response, one of whom continues to be in complete response at more than 22 months; 1 patient experienced a very good partial response; and 1 patient experienced a partial response. No patients experienced CRS or ICANS greater than Grade 2. None of the six patients with WM has needed to start new therapy for their disease. MB-109 (IL13Rα2-targeted CAR T-cells + HSV-1 oncolytic virus for recurrent glioblastoma): In October 2023, Mustang announced that the FDA accepted the Company’s IND to initiate a Phase 1 open label, multicenter clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MB-109, a novel combination of MB-101 (IL13Rα2‐targeted CAR T-cell therapy) and MB-108 (HSV-1 oncolytic virus), for the treatment of recurrent GBM and high-grade astrocytoma. Mustang is evaluating plans to initiate the clinical trial and request orphan drug designation for GBM, subject to resource allocation, in 2024. As previously reported, preclinical data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (“AACR”) Annual Meeting 2022 supported this combination therapy to optimize results to treat recurrent GBM. The combination leverages MB-108 to make cold tumors “hot,” thereby potentially improving the efficacy of MB-101 CAR T-cell therapy. In March 2024, data from the Phase 1 trial evaluating MB-101 IL13Rα2-targeted CAR T-cells in high-grade glioma were published in Nature Medicine. MB-101 was well tolerated and 50% of patients achieved stable disease or better, with two partial responses and two complete responses in high grade glioma patients. The two patients who achieved complete response both had high levels of intratumoral CD3+ T-cells pre-therapy (i.e., “hot” tumors), and their responses lasted 7.5 and 66+ months, respectively. In the cohort with dual intratumoral (ICT)/ intraventricular (ICV) delivery and an optimized manufacturing process there was a ~70% improvement in median overall survival (10.2 months) compared to the expected survival rate of six months in this patient population. In Vivo CAR-T Technology Platform: Mustang continues to collaborate with the Mayo Clinic to progress our exclusively licensed novel in vivo CAR-T technology platform that may be able to transform the administration of CAR-T therapies and has the potential to be used as an off-the-shelf therapy. Mustang anticipates the publication of proof-of-concept research in a murine tumor model in 2024. MB-117 and MB-217 Lentiviral Gene Therapies for X-Linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (XSCID): In 2024, the first patients are expected to be treated in both new investigator-sponsored trials for newborns diagnosed with XSCID and for previously transplanted patients with XSCID. These trials with MB-117 and MB-217, respectively, are planned by our partners and will test a modified version of the current lentiviral vector.

MB-101 was well-tolerated and 50% of patients achieved stable disease or better with two partial responses and two complete responses lasting 7.5 and 66+ months, respectively ~70% improvement in median overall survival compared to expected survival rate in cohort with dual intratumoral (ICT)/ intraventricular (ICV) delivery and an optimized manufacturing process This is the largest reported trial to date of CAR-T therapy for solid tumors WORCESTER, Mass., March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Bio, Inc. (“Mustang”) (Nasdaq: MBIO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on translating today’s medical breakthroughs in cell and gene therapies into potential cures for difficult-to-treat cancers and rare genetic diseases, today announced Phase 1 clinical data were published in Nature Medicine that demonstrated the promising safety and clinical activity of Mustang’s MB-101 (IL13Ra2-targeted CAR T-cells) for the treatment of patients with recurrent and refractory malignant glioma, including glioblastoma. MB-101 was developed by City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, and exclusively licensed to Mustang. Highlights from the data include: Stable disease or better was achieved in 50% (29/58) of heavily pretreated patients for at least two months, with two partial responses, one complete response (CR), and a second CR after additional CAR-T cycles under compassionate use. Patients with recurrent GBM treated in the final cohort with dual intratumoral (ICT)/ intraventricular (ICV) delivery and an optimized manufacturing process exhibited superior median overall survival of 10.2 months, compared to the expected survival rate of six months in patients with recurrent GBM. The median overall survival for all patients was eight months. Intermediate/high pre-treatment tumor T-cell levels that are indicative of a “hot” tumor microenvironment (TME) correlated with a significant survival benefit over negative/low pre-treatment tumor T-cell levels that are indicative of a “cold” TME. Overall, all routes of delivery (ICT, ICV and dual ICT + ICV) were well-tolerated at doses up to 200×106 CAR T-cells. Central nervous system (CNS) increases in inflammatory cytokines, including IFNγ, CXCL9, and CXCL10, were associated with CAR T-cell administration and bioactivity. Dr. Christine Brown, Heritage Provider Network Professor in Immunotherapy, deputy director of the T-Cell Therapeutics Research Laboratories at City of Hope, and lead author on the publication, said, “These Phase 1 clinical trial results represent a significant step forward in our understanding of the potential of MB-101 CAR T-cell therapy to treat recurrent GBM, an extremely aggressive tumor with very limited treatment options. One of the main challenges for treating brain cancer is that medications have difficulty crossing the blood-brain barrier. To overcome that barrier, the trial delivered CAR T-cells directly into the brain tumor and the cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid that protects and surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Repetitive locoregional administration of IL13Rα2-CAR T-cells was feasible and well-tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities, even at the highest dose level of 200 x 106 CAR T-cells per infusion. The safety and promising therapy-related bioactivity data pave the way for future studies of MB-101 and offer hope for a transformative treatment approach. We look forward to continuing our work with Mustang on this promising therapy.” Manuel Litchman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Mustang, said, “MB-101 has demonstrated compelling therapeutic potential, including delivering unprecedented complete responses in two high-grade glioma patients; the first patient who achieved a complete response was published in The New England Journal of Medicine. These two patients treated solely with MB-101 both had high levels of intratumoral CD3+ T-cells pre-therapy (i.e., “hot” tumors) and achieved complete responses lasting 7.5 and 66+ months, respectively. This trial has led to several other studies using MB-101, including supporting our upcoming novel combination clinical trial of MB-109 [MB-101 (IL-13Rα2 targeted CAR T-cell therapy) + MB-108 (HSV-1 oncolytic virus)] to improve treatment of recurrent GBM and high-grade astrocytoma. The combination leverages initial treatment with MB-108 to reshape the tumor microenvironment and make immunologically “cold” tumors “hot,” thereby potentially enabling the MB-101 CAR T-cell therapy to achieve efficacy equivalent to that seen in intrinsically “hot” tumors in this City of Hope Phase 1 trial.” The data reported on 65 patients with recurrent high-grade glioma, the majority being glioblastoma (GBM; 2 + recurrences); 58 patients were evaluable for disease response. Primary endpoints were safety and feasibility, with secondary endpoints measuring therapy-related cytokine dynamics, CAR T-cell persistence and clinical outcomes. Patients were treated at one of three dose schedules with three weekly infusions administered without prior lymphodepleting chemotherapy and were evaluated one week after the third cycle for dose limiting toxicities. Additional infusions were allowed, and patients were followed for toxicities, response, and survival until they progressed or required subsequent therapy. This study evaluated five treatment arms: Arm 1, intratumoral following biopsy (ICT Biopsy); Arm 2, intratumoral following maximal surgical resection (ICT Resection); Arm 3, intraventricular (ICV); and Arms 4 and 5, combined ICT and ICV delivery (Dual ICT + ICV). ICV delivery (Arm 3) was added after trial initiation based on clinical experience, in which IL13Rα2-CAR T-cells that were administered ICV mediated a complete response in a patient with multifocal recurrent GBM, and preclinical data suggested ICV was more effective against multifocal tumors. Subsequently, City of Hope transitioned to dual delivery combining both ICV and ICT (Arms 4–5) – rather than continuing with ICV alone – as preclinical data also suggested that intratumoral delivery was more effective for defined unifocal tumors in comparison to ICV-only delivery. Weekly ICT and/or ICV administration of IL13Rα2-CAR T-cells was well-tolerated, with clinically manageable adverse events. No high-grade cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell-mediated neurotoxicity adverse events were observed, and no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were noted during the 28-day dose limiting toxicity period. The most common toxicities with possible or higher attribution to CAR T-cells were fatigue, headache, and hypertension. Grade 3 and above toxicities with possible or higher attribution to CAR T-cells were seen in 35% of patients, including two incidences of transient grade 4 cerebral edema with possible attribution to CAR T-cells and one grade 3 encephalopathy and one grade 3 ataxia with probable attribution to CAR T-cells.
