Shattuck Labs to Present Topline Data from Phase 1 A/B Clinical Trial of SL-172154 in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (HR-MDS) Patients at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2023

– SL-172154 as monotherapy and in combination with azacitidine demonstrates anti-leukemic activity and an acceptable safety and tolerability profile –

AUSTIN, Texas and DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shattuck Labs, Inc. (Shattuck) (NASDAQ: STTK), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of bi-functional fusion proteins as a new class of biologic medicine for the treatment of patients with cancer and autoimmune disease, today announced the presentation of topline data from the dose escalation portion of its Phase 1 A/B clinical trial of SL-172154 as monotherapy and in combination with azacitidine (AZA) in primarily R/R AML and HR-MDS patients. These data will be featured in a poster presentation at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting, which is being held both virtually and in San Diego, CA from December 9-12, 2023.

“Response rates are historically low for heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory AML and HR-MDS patients. We were particularly pleased to observe initial anti-leukemic activity, unique pharmacodynamic activity, and an acceptable safety and tolerability profile for SL-172154 as monotherapy and in combination with azacitidine. We are excited to continue development of our unique bifunctional protein SL-172154, as we seek to improve the lives of patients with hematologic malignancies.” said Dr. Lini Pandite, MBChB, M.B.A., Chief Medical Officer of Shattuck. “The observation of a monotherapy response, dose-dependent increases in serum cytokines, and accumulation of mature myeloid cells in bone marrow support a potential contribution of CD40 stimulation in these heme malignancies. Notably, preliminary data shows anti-leukemic effects detected in previously untreated TP53m-MDS and R/R AML patients. We look forward to sharing additional data from the frontline expansion cohorts later this year. Overall, we are encouraged by the growing body of data that further validates the unique mechanism of action of SL-172154 and its therapeutic potential to address the unmet needs for patients with AML and HR-MDS.”

The full abstract (#4278) is accessible on the ASH Congress portal, and additional details are provided below.

  • Title: Safety, Pharmacodynamic, and Anti-Tumor Activity of SL-172154 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Azacitidine (AZA) in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Higher-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes/Neoplasms (HR-MDS) Patients (pts)
  • Session Title: Acute Myeloid Leukemias: Investigational Therapies, Excluding Transplantation and Cellular Immunotherapies: Poster III

  • Format: Poster Presentation
  • Session Date: Monday, December 11, 2023
  • Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM PT

Key Takeaways: SL-172154 monotherapy response was observed in a heavily pretreated patient with R/R AML after just a single cycle of treatment, as well as early efficacy signals for SL-172154 in combination with AZA in previously untreated HR-MDS with TP53 mutant patients. SL-172154 was tolerable at 3mg/kg as a monotherapy and in combination with AZA.

  • Data Overview: As of the abstract data cut-off date of May 25, 2023, 37 adult patients with R/R AML and HR-MDS had received SL-172154 as monotherapy or in combination with AZA in the parallel staggered dose-escalation portion of a Phase 1A/B clinical trial. Patients had a median of two prior lines of therapy.
  • Preliminary signs of anti-leukemic activity: Monotherapy response in a R/R AML patient and early signals of anti-leukemic activity (in the form of blast count reductions) in patients with R/R AML who received SL-172154 in combination with AZA were observed in a dose-dependent manner. Early signals of activity with SL-172154 in combination with AZA in frontline patients with TP53 mutant HR-MDS were observed.
    • SL-172154 monotherapy response (Morphologic Leukemia-Free State) (n=1 at 6 mg/kg) was observed in a heavily pretreated R/R AML patient who subsequently proceeded to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT).
    • Anti-leukemic activity, in the form of blast count reductions, was observed in R/R AML patients in combination with AZA (n=2 at 1 mg/kg, n=5 at 3 mg/kg) and one patient subsequently proceeded to allo-HCT.
    • Out of four evaluable previously untreated HR-MDS with TP53m patients, there was one confirmed complete response (3 mg/kg), one marrow complete response (1 mg/kg), and two stable diseases (n=1 at 1 mg/kg, n=1 at 6 mg/kg). Two patients subsequently proceeded to allo-HCT.
  • SL-172154 had an acceptable safety profile as monotherapy and in combination with AZA.
    • Infusion-related reactions (IRRs) were the most common SL-172154-related treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) and were reported in 13 patients (68%) as monotherapy and 8 patients (44%) in combination with AZA.
    • Other TEAEs observed were increased AST (aspartate aminotransferase) (4; 21%), ALT (alanine aminotransferase) (3; 16%) and nausea (3; 17%) in monotherapy cohorts, and nausea (3; 17%) in combination cohorts. All events of increased AST/ALT were transient.
    • SL-172154 in combination with AZA had an acceptable safety profile with one dose-limiting toxicity event at 6mg/kg of SL-172154. The dose of 3 mg/kg is being evaluated in the dose expansion.
  • CD47 and CD40 target engagement and CD40-dependent pharmacodynamic effects observed at the 3 mg/kg dose.
    • SL-172154 induced elevations in serum IL-12p40, IP-10, IL-8, IL-10, MIP3α, and MCP1 with greater response at 3 mg/kg compared to 1 mg/kg and similar response between 3 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg.
    • In bone marrow, abundant staining of SL-172154 was observed, along with a dose-dependent increase in phagocytic cells within mature myeloid immune cell compartments. Reduction in leukemic blasts was associated with an increase in mature myeloid and phagocytic cell phenotypes.
