Correlation of Patient Survival and Engraftment Derived Xenografts

• Correlation of engraftment in xenograft experiments and clinical outcome

• Other groups have also shown a correlation between treatment response in patient derived xenografts and clinical response

• Demonstrates the clinical relevance of these types of xenograft models

Stem Cell Pathways Implicated in Cancer

• Key “developmental” pathways have been strongly implicated in cancer– Notch Pathway– Adhesion– BMP/TGFβ Pathway– Wnt Pathway– FGF Pathway– Hedgehog Pathway– Others

Therapeutic objective: Inhibit capability for self-renewal and/or enhance differentiation

Wnt Signaling in Cancer

• 1982:

• 1997:

APC mutants are defective in their ability to inhibit β-catenin.

β-catenin mutants are constitutively active.

Wnt Blockade Blocks Growth of Patient DerivedXenograft Tumors

Results: in CSCs from patient-derived tumors, the Wnt pathway is required for tumor growth providing additional evidence that the Wnt signaling is an important therapeutic therapeutic target

12

Wnt Pathway

• Strongly implicated in many major cancers

• Clearly attractive pathway for targeting cancer stem cells

• No drugs approved yet targeting pathway

• Multiple ligands and receptors

• Identifying appropriate pre-clinical models

• Developing effective drug discovery strategy

• Luciferase labeled OMP-PN8 tumors implanted orthotopically in the pancreas

• Tumors were allowed to grow for 30 days and randomized based on primary tumor size

(determined by in vivo imaging for bioluminescence)

• Tumor bearing mice were treated with FZD8-Fc, dosed at 20 mg/kg weekly for 4 weeks

• Metastatic growth in distal organs was determined by in vivo imaging

FZD8-Fc Pre-clinical data summary

• OMP-54F28 (FZD8-Fc) is a potent antagonist of Wnt Signaling

• FZD8-Fc is active as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in patient derived pancreatic xenografts

• FZD8-Fc is active in a broad spectrum of pancreatic cancer models– Promotes differentiation– Reduces CSC frequency– Inhibits metastatic growth

24

Summary

• Stem cell pathways such Wnt are required for CSC function in a broad spectrum of tumors

• OncoMed has developed the first Wntpathway antagonist biologics – Anti-FZD (OMP-18R5, vantictumab) – FZD8-Fc (OMP-54F28)– Currently in Phase I clinical testing and

partnered with Bayer Healthcare

• Inhibition of Wnt signaling with FZD8-Fc reduces tumorigenicity and promotes the differentiation of cancer cells in several major tumor types

Self-renewal

Differentiation

25

• Safety study in pts with advanced solid tumors

• Repeat dose study, 3-6 pts/cohort

• Dose levels: 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg once every 3 weeks

• DLT Window: assessed on days 0-28

• Expansion: 6 additional patients at MTD

• Potential future tumor-specific expansion cohort(s) - various indications including pancreatic

• Response assessed on day 56, then every 8 weeks

• Pts may remain on treatment until PD

• Dose escalation currently ongoing
