Biomarker and PK/PD analyses of first-in-class FASN inhibitor TVB-2640 in a first-in-human phase 1 study in solid tumor patients

Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) •  Central mediator of neoplastic lipogenesis •  Generates palmitate, the building block of long chain fatty acids,

providing a mechanism to convert glucose and other carbon sources into lipids to support cancer cell signaling

•  Upregulated in tumor vs normal tissue, and correlates with poor prognosis in certain tumor types

Summary •  TVB-2640 is a first-in-class FASN inhibitor currently in a Phase 1

oncology clinical study 3V2640-CLIN-002 •  Excellent QD oral PK profile •  Pharmacodynamic biomarkers identified in patient sera and

target engagement observed in ongoing Phase 1 study •  Increased malonyl carnitine •  Decreased TG16:0 palmitate •  Good correlation with TVB-2640 plasma exposure •  Similar pharmacodynamic activity in rat model

•  Pharmacodynamic activity shown in patient tumors •  Decreased pAKT S473 in 2/2 patients, also in xenografts

•  Comprehensive biomarker analysis is underway with analysis in additional patients in ongoing 3V2640 CLIN-002 Phase 1 study

•  Poised to understand the clinical impact of FASN inhibition

Tumor IHC in Phase 1

Thank you to the patients and their families

•  Multicenter, open label, ongoing phase 1 study •  Oral, once daily with 21/28 day continuous cycles •  To date, 23 patients enrolled in monotherapy dose escalation at

dose levels of 60, 80, 120, 240 mg/m2 or 200 mg flat dose. 7 patients enrolled in combination with paclitaxel.

FFPE sections stained with FASN CST rabbit Ab C20G5) using a validated method. H-score in tumor tissue was quantitated by standard pathology review including staining intensity graded 0-3+ and % cells positive. ELISA for FASN was performed on human sera using a commercially available ELISA kit (Immtech). Banked tumors and cancer patient sera were purchased from commercial sources. CLIN-002 samples are from ongoing Phase 1 study, several ongoing re-assay as exceed ULQ. Line indicates median. N of 5 to 20 per tumor type for IHC, and 14 to 55 for ELISA.

FASN expression survey

•  9/10 patients tested show decreased TG16:0 palmitate on day 8

•  p<0.05 for D8 pre versus D1 pre overall, and for 120 and 240 mg/m2 dose levels

• Other palmitate derivatives also decreased (not shown) • Preliminary analysis shows good correlation with

TVB2640 exposure for malonyl carnitine and TG 16:0 palmitate

•  9/10 patients showed increased malonyl carnitine on day 8 relative to day 1, up to 7-fold with mean of 3.4-fold

•  p<0.05 for D8 pre versus D1 pre for 120 and 240 mg/m2 dose levels

• Clear evidence of FASN pathway inhibition in serum • Similar effect in rats treated with FASN inhibitor as below
