Bright Peak Therapeutics to Present Innovative Best-in-Class and Multifunctional Regulatory T Cell (Treg) Enhancers at the 10th International Conference on Autoimmunity: Mechanisms and Novel Treatments

– First presentation of BPT264, the only Treg-targeting IL-2 for autoimmune disease that is both IL2Rα-enhanced and IL2Rβ-dead, displaying best-in-class preclinical properties —

Introduction of BPT323, a cutting-edge, multifunctional immunocytokine combining TNFα blockade and selective Treg expansion for the treatment of autoimmune disease —

SAN DIEGO and BASEL, Switzerland, Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bright Peak Therapeutics, a privately held biotechnology company developing next-generation multifunctional precision immunotherapies, today announced the presentation of two posters showcasing the potential of its unique chemical protein engineering platform at the 10th International Conference on Autoimmunity: Mechanisms and Novel Treatments taking place October 20-25, 2022, in Chania, Crete.

“We are excited to share, for the first time, details of our innovative IL-2-based therapeutics that selectively activate and enhance Treg expansion for the treatment of patients with autoimmune diseases,” said Dr. Bertolt Kreft, Chief Scientific Officer of Bright Peak Therapeutics. Tregs are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance, preventing autoimmunity and limiting chronic inflammatory diseases. IL-2 is an essential cytokine critical for Treg activation and proliferation, and low-dose IL-2 has demonstrated promising preliminary clinical efficacy in several autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Kreft continued, “Our chemical protein synthesis platform enabled us to create an optimized IL-2 payload that is uniquely IL2Rα-enhanced as well as IL2Rβ-dead, with the further capacity to be chemically conjugated. Using this fully synthetic IL-2 payload, we created a PEGylated, half-life-extended molecule with best-in-class preclinical properties as well as a cutting-edge multifunctional immunocytokine combining TNFα blockade and selective Treg expansion.”

Details of the abstracts are as follows:

Dates and Times: October 21-24, 2022, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM (CET)

Title: Identification of BPT264 – a potent alpha-enhanced/beta-dead and half-life-extended IL-2 Treg enhancer for treatment of autoimmune diseases

Abstract Highlights: Using our chemical protein synthesis technology, we rationally designed an enhanced cytokine payload harboring a site-specific chemical conjugation handle and specific sequence variations that retune the biological properties of IL-2 for the treatment of patients with autoimmune disease. Bright Peak’s optimized cytokine payload is engineered to uniquely augment binding to IL2Rα and ablate binding to IL2Rβ for the precise and potent activation of Treg over other immune cell types. Conjugation to a 30 kDa PEG generates a fully synthetic cytokine with optimal pharmacokinetic properties that is able to selectively expand Tregs in cynomolgus monkeys up to 60-fold and to strongly suppress antigen-specific T cell-mediated inflammation in mice. Based on these best-in-class properties, IND-enabling studies have been initiated and a first in human trial is planned to start early 2024.

Title: Identification of BPT323 – An immunocytokine for treatment of autoimmune diseases combining orthogonal modes of action of TNFα blockade and selective Treg expansion

Abstract Highlights: Bright Peak has developed a cell-free chemical protein synthesis and conjugation platform to rapidly generate optimized antibody-cytokine (immunocytokine, IC) therapeutics within weeks. We have site-specifically conjugated a single IL-2 variant that selectively activates and expands Tregs to the Fc region of the well-characterized anti-TNFα antibody adalimumab to generate an anti-TNFα-IL2 IC that fully retains the functions of the parent molecules in vitro and in vivo. TNFα-IL2 IC is apparently able to leverage an additional mode-of-action as its ability to activate and expand Tregs is augmented in the presence of TNFα. This suggests that TNFα-IL2 IC may exhibit higher local activity in inflamed tissues where TNFα is present at high levels.

The abstracts are available for viewing on Bright Peak’s website, www.brightpeaktx.com, and online at:

  • Transaction is expected to provide $69 million of gross proceeds (assuming no redemptions by Mountain Crest stockholders)
  • Broad pipeline of drug candidates across multiple oncology programs; two lead clinical-stage candidates addressing a combined market opportunity of $10+ billion in metastatic colorectal cancer, and TRK Fusion and mutation cancers
  • Mr. Vishal Doshi will continue to lead as the CEO of the publicly traded holding entity; a Mountain Crest representative will join the Board of Directors
  • Company to expand US operations and clinical programs

SINGAPORE and NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AUM Biosciences Pte. Ltd. (“AUM”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, advancing a clinical stage pipeline designed to deploy multi-faceted inhibition strategies to reverse cancer resistance, and Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. V (Nasdaq: MCAG) (“Mountain Crest”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company formed in Delaware, whose management team has an impressive pedigree of successful SPAC transactions, today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Agreement”). Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will operate under a holding entity to be formed as a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”) and intends to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol AUMB. The transaction reflects a pre-money equity value of $400 million for AUM and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023. The transaction is expected to provide approximately $69 million of cash held in Mountain Crest’s trust account, assuming no redemptions.

AUM302 is a potentially first-in-class macrocyclic oral kinase inhibitor rationally designed small molecule to uniquely combine pan-PIM kinase, pan-PI3K and mTOR inhibition in a single agent. Comprised of pharma industry veterans with decades of research and development experience, the AUM leadership has an extensive track record of selecting distinctive early-stage assets, successfully exiting virtual biotech models, and has contributed to over 50 INDs and over 150 oncology clinical trials, and development of several currently marketed oncology treatments with annual peak sales up to $3 billion.

AUM completed a $27 million Series A funding round in 2021, and since then has demonstrated sustained growth, while partnering with major pharma companies and securing other non-dilutive funding sources such as grants in support of its development activity.

Upon closing of the transaction, Vishal Doshi, AUM’s CEO, will continue to lead Holdco as its CEO. Mr. Doshi, a pharmacist and medicinal chemist by background, is a seasoned leader with an extensive experience in commercial deal structuring valued at over $4 billion. He is also a Global Pharma Key Opinion Leader with the Korea Pharmaceutical Industry, a government-affiliated institution which provides professional and systematic support to develop domestic health industry and enhance health services.

Mr. Doshi commented, “Since our inception, we have worked to scientifically, commercially and financially de-risk our portfolio by leveraging our world class team, strong fundamentals, and un-paralleled executional track record. This merger allows AUM to further continue our focus on developing our scientifically differentiated portfolio. We are poised to achieve multiple development milestones over the next two years generating significant value for patients and investors.”

Dr. Suying Liu, Chairman, CEO and CFO of Mountain Crest, commented, “AUM is a unique and compelling investment opportunity, with its clinical-stage diversified pipeline of precision therapeutic candidates and global strategic partnerships with industry heavyweights, pointing to significant future growth potential and allowing the company to have a greater US footprint. I am thrilled to be partnering with Mr. Doshi and his exceptional team to bring their vision to fruition.”

AUM Investment Highlights

  • AUM’s lead candidate AUM001 has shown highly selective inhibition of MNK 1/2 in current studies, which in turn, is expected to lead to inhibition of eIF4E phosphorylation. AUM expects to begin enrollment in the fourth quarter 2022 in a global Phase 2 trial of AUM001 as a monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA in metastatic colorectal cancer with a focus on the microsatellite stable subset, thereby seeking to render immunologically “cold” tumors “hot,” in collaboration with MSD, a tradename of Merck & Co., Inc. AUM has received authorization for the Investigational New Drug (IND) application from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this study (NCT05462236).
  • AUM has also secured a partnership with Roche to develop AUM001 in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®), Roche’s anti-PD-L1 therapy, across multiple solid tumor indications.
  • AUM is planning Phase 2 trials with AUM601, a potentially highly selective, oral small molecule designed to inhibit not only pan-TRK (TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC), but also resistance mutations of TRKs, by blocking the mutations that occur within the binding site. AUM601 was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US FDA in September 2022.
  • AUM is advancing IND enabling studies for AUM302, a potentially first-in-class macrocyclic oral kinase inhibitor rationally designed small molecule to uniquely combine pan-PIM kinase, pan-PI3K and mTOR inhibition in a single agent and AUM003, a potential blood brain barrier penetrating selective MNK inhibitor.
  • AUM has sub-licensed the Greater China rights (AUM001, AUM302 and AUM003) to Newsoara making it eligible to receive up to $135 million in development, regulatory, and commercial milestones, plus up to double digit royalties.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On Oct. 19, 2022, the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) commenced flight operations using an MQ-9B SeaGuardian® Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI). JCG is operating the SeaGuardian from the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) Air Station Hachinohe. The RPA will primarily perform Maritime Wide Area Search (MWAS) over the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. Other missions will include search and rescue, disaster response, and maritime law enforcement.

“SeaGuardian is the world’s premier asset for performing MWAS,” said Robert Schoeffling, vice president of International Strategic Development at GA-ASI. “We’re proud to support the Government of Japan’s policy to strengthen its maritime security.”

SeaGuardian features a multi-mode maritime surface-search radar with an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging mode, an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver, and High-Definition – Full-Motion Video sensor equipped with optical and infrared cameras. This sensor suite enables real-time detection and identification of surface vessels over thousands of square nautical miles and provides automatic tracking of maritime targets and correlation of AIS transmitters with radar tracks.

GA-ASI’s MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian are revolutionizing the long-endurance RPAS market by providing all-weather capability and full compliance with STANAG-4671 (NATO UAS airworthiness standard). This feature, along with our operationally proven, collision-avoidance radar, enables flexible operations in civil airspace.

SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian have garnered significant interest from customers throughout the world. The UK Ministry of Defence selected MQ-9B SkyGuardian for its Protector program, and the Belgian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for SkyGuardian.
