Trappsol® Cyclo™ as a potential therapy for NPC

4

Suggestive evidence of safety and systemic and neurological benefit

  • Mechanism of Action: Trappsol® Cyclo™, with its cyclic structure, facilitates the transport of cholesterol between cells and subcellular structures thus circumventing blockades and enabling the normal function of cells and tissues.
  • Pre-clinicaldata: Demonstrates the amount of HPβCD getting into the brain is at a safe and efficient concentration in order to enhance transfer of cholesterol between (intra)cellular membranes and therefore supportive of Trappsol® Cyclo™ having a potential safe and effective benefit for the neurological symptoms of NPC.
  • Phase 1 Study (CTD-TCNPC-101): Data suggests that Trappsol® Cyclo has an acceptable well-tolerated safety profile and demonstrates clearance of trapped liver cholesterol, indicates that cholesterol turnover is normalized and cholesterol synthesis rate adjusted for the whole body, shows reduced changes in metabolite level is indicative of reduced cholesterol storage and indicates normalization of cholesterol storage in brain neurons. These data are suggestive of a potential benefit for both the systemic and neurological symptoms of NPC.
  • Phase 2 Study (CTD-TCNPC-201): Data demonstrates that Trappsol® Cyclo has an acceptable well-tolerated safety profile and that a potential therapeutic benefit may be observed at or before 48 weeks of treatment compared to disease progression. Although studied in a small patient sample size, provides compelling evidence of disease stabilization or improvement for the 5D-NPC-SS,CGI-I and SARA scales.
  • Ongoing Extension Study (CTD-TCNPC-102): Provides long-term safety data demonstrating the product is well-tolerated along with data suggestive of durability of effect.

Conclusion

The data obtained from preclinical studies and Cyclo Therapeutics completed and ongoing clinical studies suggest Trappsol® Cyclo is well-tolerated and has the potential to treat both the systemic and neurological symptoms of NPC. The data from our early phase studies and OLE are currently being confirmed in our ongoing Phase 3 Study (CTD-TCNPC-301).

Trappsol® Cyclo™

Mechanism of Action: Mobilizing lysosomal cholesterol (NPC)

Under normal conditions, NPC1, located on the late endosomal/lysosomal (LE/L) compartments, regulates cholesterol efflux (Maetzel et al, 2014) (see left panel below). In NPC, mutations in the NPC1 gene on both alleles lead to accumulation of cholesterol in the LE/L compartments by inhibiting its efflux, and to a block in autophagic flux, which causes accumulation of autophagosomes and autophagy substrate due to impaired formation of amphisomes (see middle panel below). Trappsol® Cyclo mediated cholesterol release independent of the function of both NPC1 and NPC2 proteins, circumventing blockades in cholesterol transport, and therefore has the potential to bring significant benefit to patients with NPC (see right panel below).

Pre-clinical data

Safe and efficient HPβCD target concentration within the brain

HPβCD effects in cell culture system:

0.1 mM HPβCD released cholesterol trapped in the lysosomes

1 mM HPβCD primarily extracted cholesterol from the cell membrane

  • 10 mM HPβCD was profoundly toxic to

neurons

  3. Taylor AM, etal; JLR: (2012)

Below 1mM HPβCD can partially move cholesterol out from cell membranes (one HPβCD interacts with one cholesterol molecule).

This significantly enhances transfer of cholesterol between (intra)cellular membranes and provides an exit from lysosomes.

Abbove 1mM an increasing amount of cholesterol will be extracted from membranes (by two cyclodextrins per cholesterol) - this will damage sensitive cells.

At low concentrations effects of HPβCD and sulfobutyl-ß- CD in precinical models are similar. The latter compound cannot form dimers3

Blood brain barrier transfer of saccharide compounds and 201 PK

  • Under the extended infusion used in clinical trials for Trappsol® Cyclo™, a stable concentration of about 1 mM is reached in plasma
  • T1/2 Plasma app 2h; T1/2 CNS app 6h (human and mouse data)
  • Most mono-,oligo-, and polysaccharides show moderate transfer over the BBB. Transfer happens by micropinocytosis (transport in small vesicles, largely independent from molecular weight 2, 3).
  • Four saccharide compounds investigated for BBB transport 2, 3 are shown below. Uptake over the BBB was observed at 0.1 µl/g/min to 0.2 µl/g/min. Trappsol®Cyclo™ fits into the compound class and into the molecular weight range.
  • Under the conditions used in the Trappsol® Cyclo™ NPC Phase 1 trial a peak concentration of 40 µM to 80 µM Trappsol® is expected
    in the CNS.
  • The concentrations found in lumbar CSF of patients at the end of treatment of about 30 µM 1, 4
    are in line with this value.
    A ratio of Cmax (cranial) to Cmax (lumbar) of 2 - 4
    is assumed in literature 5.

Immediate effect: mobilization of cholesterol from lysosomes in liver

  • Rate of uptake of Trappsol® into liver cells was found to be similar to transfer over the BBB (10 µl/h/g - 20 µl/h/g)
  • Export of unesterified cholesterol from lysosomes until 12h from start of single HPßCD injection is about 3 mg/g of liver tissue
  • Exported cholesterol transiently stored as cholesterol ester in lipid droplets in the cytosol
  • Increase in cholesterol ester concentration in cytosol over 12h reflects decrease in lysosomal concentration
  • Note: Slow infusion of Trappsol® in humans makes an export of 3 mg - 6 mg of cholesterol / g of liver tissue per treatment cycle likely

About 3 mg/g of unesterified cholesterol removed from liver lysosomes

@12h about 2 mg/g of esterified cholesterol transiently stored in cytosol of hepatocytes
