How Our Technology Works

OligoPhore/SemaPhore are nanoparticles comprising a proprietary peptide +

RNA payload designed to enable safe and effective delivery by systemic administration.

Stability

RNA complexed in nanoparticle format and only released inside

of cells after uptake

Extrahepatic delivery

Not sequestered in liver as is common with conventional RNA- based therapies; permeates inflamed pathological tissues (passive targeting)

Endosomal escape

Efficient release within target cell, payload reported at 90+% available in vitro studies vs. 1-2% with current technologies, observed in murine preclinical studies

Selectivity

Acts on targets in diseased tissues only

Safety

No cellular or adaptive immune responsivity to nanoparticle

components or RNA after multiple serial doses, and no organ

toxicities in mice

AM-401: Stop the "Beating Heart" of Tumors

Knock down various KRAS mutations with polyKRASmut OligoPhore nanoparticles

to inhibit cell proliferation in KRAS driven colorectal, pancreatic, or non-small cell lung cancer.

Many mutations known, G12D, G12V,

OligoPhore polyKRASmut

and G12C accounting for >50%

siRNA transfects tumor cells,

not healthy or uninvolved cells

  • Mutated KRAS may cause cancer to grow
  • Found in 1/5 of all human cancers, particularly in:
    • Pancreatic cancer (85-90%)
    • Colorectal cancer (40%)
    • Non-smallcell lung cancer (30-35%)
  • 150,000 cases diagnosed in US p.a.
  • ~1M deaths per year world-wide
  • Considered "undruggable" for decades
  • Scrambled siRNA nanoparticle
  • polyKRASmut nanoparticle

OligoPhore polyKRASmut significantly reduces pancreatic tumor volume growth

AM-401

KRAS driven cancer

IND targeted for 2023

High unmet medical need - most aggressive tumors

Small molecule G12C inhibitors approved in NSCLC

  • Sotorasib (Lumakras, Amgen), Adagrasib (Krazati, Mirati)

Multiple other small molecule inhibitors under development (G12C, G12D…), but few competing RNA projects (G12D or KRAS modulators)

AM-401 KEY DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS

polyKRASmut allows to target different mutations and is thus polyvalent

Blocking production of KRAS by degrading mRNA to cause less resistance than inhibition of KRAS

Small molecule inhibitors have significant side effects, particularly when combined with other agents

OligoPhore targets specifically tumor cells

AM-411: Block Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Knock down NF-κB (p65),

a key checkpoint in RA inflammation.

  • Chronic autoimmune disease
  • Causes joint swelling and pain
    • Reduced QoL and productivity
  • Affects 1 out of 28 women / 59 men
  • No cure available, but various treatment options:
    • Disease-modifyinganti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
    • Non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
    • Corticosteroids
  • Major shortcomings of therapies:
    • Drug resistance (up to 50% of patients)
    • Systemic adverse reactions (e.g., rash, hair loss, altered liver function, low blood cell counts, nausea, weight loss, increased infections, and neuropathy)

OligoPhore p65 stabilizes ankle swelling and reduces arthritis score

  • Control
  • Peptide nanoparticle
  • Peptide + p65 nanoparticle

OligoPhore p65 reduces inflammation and protects against bone erosion
