Adagio Therapeutics annonce une réduction de l’activité neutralisante in vitro de l’ADG20 contre le variant Omicron du virus SARS-CoV-2

Les données in vitro précédemment rapportées démontrant que les mutations Omicron individuelles n’étaient pas associées à l’échappement de l’ADG20 ne se traduisent pas par des essais Omicron sur des souches authentiques et des pseudovirus

WALTHAM, Mass., 14 déc. 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Adagio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq : ADGI), une société biopharmaceutique au stade clinique axée sur la découverte, le développement et la commercialisation de solutions à base d’anticorps pour les maladies infectieuses présentant un potentiel pandémique, a fait aujourd’hui le point suite à des analyses in vitro externes visant à évaluer l’activité neutralisante de l’ADG20 contre le variant Omicron du SARS-CoV-2. Les données in vitro générées par le biais de tests effectués à la fois sur des souches authentiques et des pseudovirus du variant Omicron montrent une réduction de plus de 300 fois de l’activité neutralisante de l’ADG20 contre Omicron. Des analyses supplémentaires sont en cours, et la société prévoit de collaborer avec les agences gouvernementales et de réglementation afin d’évaluer le rôle que l’ADG20 peut jouer dans la prévention et le traitement de la COVID-19, en particulier alors que se développe la compréhension du secteur quant à l’épidémiologie et l’impact d’Omicron et des nouveaux variants potentiels.

« En raison de la nature hautement conservée et immunorécessive de l’épitope reconnu par l’ADG20, nous prévoyons que l’ADG20 devrait conserver son activité neutralisante contre Omicron, conformément à l’activité observée dans les modèles in vitro avec tous les autres variants préoccupants connus », a déclaré Tillman Gerngross, Ph.D., président-directeur général d’Adagio. « Bien que les mutations individuelles au niveau du domaine de fixation au récepteur Omicron n’aient pas été associées à un échappement de l’ADG20 dans le contexte d’une souche originale du virus, de nouvelles données montrent que la combinaison des mutations présentes dans la protéine Spike d’Omicron a entraîné une réduction de la neutralisation de l’ADG20 non suggérée par des données antérieures. La prévalence continue du variant Delta aux États-Unis et dans d’autres pays, l’évolution des variants du SARS-CoV-2 et les futurs coronavirus potentiels impliquent la nécessité d’une multitude de traitements et d’approches. Grâce à une équipe d’experts déterminés à faire progresser les solutions d’anticorps qui luttent contre cette pandémie sans précédent et à un bilan solide, nous menons des analyses supplémentaires afin d’évaluer la voie optimale à suivre avec l’ADG20 en tant qu’option prophylactique et de traitement de la COVID-19. »

L’ADG20 est un produit candidat expérimental à base d’anticorps monoclonal (mAb) conçu pour fournir une activité neutralisante large et puissante contre le SARS-CoV-2, y compris les variants préoccupants, pour la prévention et le traitement de la COVID-19 avec une durée potentielle de protection pouvant aller jusqu’à un an avec une seule injection. Dans les études in vitro précédemment divulguées, l’ADG20 a conservé son activité par rapport aux variants préoccupants antérieurs, y compris Alpha, Bêta, Delta et Gamma. Par ailleurs, de nouvelles données in vitro ont démontré une activité neutralisante conservée de l’ADG20 contre un panel diversifié de variants circulants du SARS-CoV-2, y compris les variants Lambda, Mu et Delta plus. L’innocuité et l’efficacité de l’ADG20 n’ont pas été établies, et aucun pays n’a autorisé ni approuvé l’utilisation de l’ADG20.

Adagio évalue actuellement l’ADG20 dans le cadre d’essais cliniques mondiaux de phase 2/3 à la fois pour la prévention et le traitement de la COVID-19. Sur la base des résultats in vitro liés à Omicron, Adagio prévoit de suspendre le recrutement des patients dans son essai de phase 2/3 sur le traitement de la COVID-19 dans des sites cliniques en Afrique du Sud, où Omicron a émergé en tant que variant dominant. Adagio est en train d’évaluer les prochaines étapes de son programme ADG20.

Des analyses in vitro ont également été menées sur l’ADG10, un deuxième mAb en développement, qui ont montré une activité neutralisante minimale contre le variant Omicron dans les essais de neutralisation des souches authentiques et des pseudovirus.

Adagio Therapeutics Relata Redução na Atividade Neutralizante In Vitro do ADG20 Contra a Variante Omicron SARS-CoV-2

Dados in vitro relatados anteriormente que demonstram que as mutações individuais do Omicron não estavam associadas à fuga de ADG20 não se confirmam nos ensaios autênticos de Omicron e de Pseudovírus

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Adagio Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: ADGI) uma empresa biofarmacêutica de estágio clínico focada na descoberta, desenvolvimento e comercialização de soluções com base em anticorpos para combate de doenças infecciosas com potencial pandêmico, divulgou novas informações após uma análise in vitro externa da atividade neutralizante do ADG20 da variante Omicron SARS-CoV-2. Os dados in vitro gerados através de testes autênticos e de pseudovírus da variante Omicron mostram uma redução de mais de 300 vezes na atividade neutralizante do ADG20 do Omicron. Análises adicionais estão sendo realizadas e a empresa pretende se envolver com agências reguladoras e governamentais para avaliar o papel que o ADG20 pode desempenhar na prevenção e tratamento da COVID-19, particularmente diante de mais compreensão por parte da indústria quanto à epidemiologia e o impacto doa Omicron e de possíveis novas variantes.

“Devido à natureza altamente conservada e imunorecessiva do epítopo reconhecido pelo ADG20, previmos que o ADG20 reteria a atividade neutralizante do Omicron, de acordo com a atividade observada em modelos in vitro com todas as outras variantes preocupantes conhecidas”, disse Tillman Gerngross, Ph.D., diretor executivo da Adagio. “Embora as mutações individuais presentes no domínio de ligação ao receptor Omicron não tenham sido associadas à fuga do ADG20 no contexto de uma cepa original do vírus, novos dados mostram que a combinação de mutações presentes na proteína de pico do Omicron levou a uma redução na neutralização do ADG20 não indicada pelos dados anteriores. A prevalência contínua da variante Delta nos EUA e em outros países, a evolução das variantes do SARS-CoV-2 e o potencial futuro coronavírus fazem necessárias uma infinidade de terapias e abordagens. Com uma equipe de especialistas comprometida com o avanço das soluções de anticorpos que combatem essa pandemia sem precedentes e um forte balanço patrimonial, estamos realizando análises adicionais para avaliar o caminho ideal a seguir com o ADG20 como uma opção profilática e de tratamento para a COVID-19.”

O ADG20 é um candidato a produto de anticorpo monoclonal (mAb) investigacional criado para fornecer atividade neutralizante ampla e potente do SARS-CoV-2, incluindo das variantes preocupantes, para a prevenção e tratamento da COVID-19. Em estudos in vitro divulgados anteriormente, o ADG20 manteve a atividade contra variantes preocupantes anteriores, incluindo Alfa, Beta, Delta e Gama. Recentes dados in vitro demonstraram a atividade neutralizante retida do ADG20 contra um painel diversificado de variantes circulantes de SARS-CoV-2, incluindo as recém-surgidas variantes Lambda, Mu e Delta plus. A segurança e a eficácia do ADG20 não foram estabelecidas e o ADG20 não está autorizado ou aprovado para uso em nenhum país.

A Adagio está avaliando o ADG20 em estudos clínicos globais de Fase 2/3 para a prevenção e tratamento da COVID-19. Com base nos resultados in vitro relacionadas ao Omicron, a Adagio pretende interromper o recrutamento de pacientes para o seu estudo de tratamento de Fase 2/3 COVID-19 em locais clínicos na África do Sul, onde o Omicron emergiu como a variante dominante. A Adagio está avaliando os próximos passos para seu programa ADG20.

Análises in vitro também foram conduzidas com o ADG10, um segundo mAb em desenvolvimento, que demonstrou atividade neutralizante mínima da variante Omicron em ensaios de neutralização autênticos e de pseudovírus.

Adagio Therapeutics Reports Reduction in In Vitro Neutralizing Activity of ADG20 Against Omicron SARS-CoV-2 Variant

Previously Reported In Vitro Data Demonstrating that Individual Omicron Mutations Were Not Associated with ADG20 Escape Do Not Translate to Omicron Authentic and Pseudovirus Assays

WALTHAM, Mass., Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Adagio Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: ADGI) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of antibody-based solutions for infectious diseases with pandemic potential, today provided an update following external in vitro analyses to evaluate neutralizing activity of ADG20 against the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant. The in vitro data generated through both authentic and pseudovirus testing of the Omicron variant show a greater than 300-fold reduction in neutralizing activity of ADG20 against Omicron. Additional analyses are ongoing, and the company plans to engage with regulatory and government agencies to assess the role ADG20 can play for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, particularly as the industry’s understanding of the epidemiology and impact of Omicron and potential new variants develops.

“Due to the highly conserved and immunorecessive nature of the epitope recognized by ADG20, we anticipated that ADG20 would retain neutralizing activity against Omicron, consistent with activity observed in in vitro models with all other known variants of concern,” said Tillman Gerngross, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Adagio. “While the individual mutations present in the Omicron receptor binding domain were not associated with escape from ADG20 in the context of an original strain of the virus, new data show that the combination of mutations present in the Omicron spike protein led to a reduction in ADG20 neutralization that was not suggested by prior data. The continued prevalence of the Delta variant in the U.S. and other countries, evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants and potential future coronaviruses means a multitude of therapies and approaches are needed. With an expert team committed to advancing antibody solutions that combat this unprecedented pandemic and a strong balance sheet, we’re conducting additional analyses to assess the optimal path forward with ADG20 as both a prophylactic and treatment option for COVID-19.”

ADG20 is an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) product candidate designed to provide broad and potent neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2, including variants of concern, for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 with potential duration of protection for up to one year with a single injection. In previously disclosed in vitro studies, ADG20 retained activity against prior variants of concern including Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. In addition, in vitro data demonstrated retained neutralizing activity of ADG20 against a diverse panel of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the Lambda, Mu and Delta plus variants. The safety and efficacy of ADG20 have not been established, and ADG20 is not authorized or approved for use in any country.

Adagio is currently evaluating ADG20 in global Phase 2/3 clinical trials for both the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Based on the in vitro findings related to Omicron, Adagio plans to pause patient recruitment in its Phase 2/3 COVID-19 treatment trial at clinical sites in South Africa, where Omicron has emerged as the dominant variant. Adagio is evaluating next steps for its ADG20 program.

In vitro analyses were also conducted on ADG10, a second mAb in development, which showed minimal neutralizing activity against the Omicron variant in both authentic and pseudovirus neutralization assays.
