  2. Mechanism of action of pathogen inactivation

  3. Requirements for pathogen inactivation Effective to eliminate pathogens Maintaining the quality of blood products for transfusion Safe Simple and cost-effective to implement in the preparation of blood components

  5. Why do infections emerge? Contributing Factors • Behavioral change among humans (HIV) • Inactivation resistant agents (B19, HAV, prions) • Intensive modern farming practices (vCJD) • Susceptible hosts (CMV) • Transport of agents, reservoirs, vectors (WNV) • Population movement (T.cruzi, chikungunya) Source New agent (vCJD) Species jump (HIV, SARS) Environmental change (Dengue virus) Failure of control-drug/vaccine resistance and mutations (HBV mutants)

  25. Testing for TTDs Summary • Expanding the testing for known pathogens has kept the blood safer over time • Each new test adds safety at exponentially increasing costs • Emerging pathogens keep testing invariably on delay and incomplete • Effective and safe pathogen inactivation is the answer

  33. Pathogen Inactivation for all 3 Blood Components: S-303 Treated Red Blood Cells: William Reed, MD Director, Clinical Research and Medical Affairs Torino and CagliariSeptember, 2012

  34. INTERCEPT RBC: Mechanism of Action • S-303 is a nucleic acid-targeted alkylator that quickly diffuses into viruses, bacteria, parasites and blood cells and is designed to react quickly and decompose • Glutathione (GSH) is used to quench side reactions of the effector with other biological materials

  35. Second Generation INTERCEPT RBC Clinical Process

  36. Pathogen Inactivation Efficacy Evaluations *n=1-3 RBC units or tubes **Second generation process, n=4 full RBC units Henschler R, Transfus Med Hemother, 2011

  37. Pathogen Inactivation Process Optimization: Reduce interaction of S-303 with RBCs and improve process flexibility • First Generation Process • 0.2 mM S-303 • 2 mM GSH (acidic) • Compound adsorption device to remove residual S-303 • Erythrosol storage solution • Second Generation Process • 0.2 mM S-303 • 20 mM GSH (Na salt) • Diluent solution for PI • Removal of treatment solution and replacement with storage solution • Approved RBC storage solutions

  38. NEW Phase 1 Clinical, Second Generation: 24-Hour Recovery meets FDA Requirements (n=27) * p<0.05, ** p<0.001 • The 24-hour recovery was similar between groups and met FDA criteria • The median lifespan,T50, of Test RBC was within the reference range of 32 to 37 days using 51Cr label Cancellas et al. Transfusion 2011

  39. NEW Phase 1 Study, Second Generation: In Vitro RBCCharacteristics-- Day 35 (n=27) 1 Measured prior to storage 2 Measured after 35-days of storage * p-value <0.05 • The total hemoglobin, hemolysis and hematocrit meet the requirements for leukoreduced RBC in additive solution • The ATP concentration is well over the critical threshold of 2.0 mmol/g Hb(Hess JR, Greenwalt TG. Transf Med Rev., 16 (4), 283-295 (2002))

  41. Clinical Studies • Europe: Acute and chronic anemia separately • Chronic anemia – thalassemia major • Acute anemia – cardiac surgery • US: thalassemia and sickle cell anemia • Chronic transfusion • Final design will require Hgb increment data from Europe and US

  42. Italian Thalassemia Study Phase 3 study of efficacy and safety of S-303 treated RBC components Investigators: A Piga - Torino R Galanello – Cagliari

  43. Design • Randomized, controlled, double‑blind, crossover study to evaluate both efficacy and safety of S‑303 treated RBC components in 70 subjects • 4 transfusion cycles for Test and 4 for Control2 additional wash-n cycles for each period • Statistical hypothesis of non-inferiority • Non-inferiority margin of 15%

  44. Italian Thalassemia Study • Transfusion-dependent thalassemia major patients (n = 70) • Randomized, controlled, double‑blind, crossover study • Statistical hypothesis of non-inferiority • 1° efficacy endpoint = Hemoglobin usage • 1° safety endpoint = Immunogenicity with repeat exposure 2txns* 2 txns* 4 txns 4 txns 2 txns* 2 txns* 4 txns 4 txns Control INTERCEPT n=35 Screen, randomize n=35 Control INTERCEPT Each patient is on study ~9-12 months 45 * Patients receive 2 wash-in transfusions followed by 4 transfusions of INTERCEPT or control.

  45. Secondary Efficacy Endpoints • Hb percent decline per day • Hb increment 1-h post-Tx(Adjusted for mass of Hb transfused and body weight)

  46. Data and Safety Monitoring Board • A Cohen - thalassemia (Philadelphia) • L Pierelli – transfusion medicine (Rome) • T Peyrard - immunohematology (Paris)

  47. Proposed U.S. Phase III – chronic RBC transfusion Group A – Efficacy & Safety Assessment (n=82, cross-over) 1° efficacy endpoint = Hemoglobin usage Control INTERCEPT n=41 2txns* 2 txns* 3 txns 6 txns 6 txns Screen, randomize Safety Assessment:Groups A & B(n=373) 1° safety endpoint = % patients with S-303 Abs with clinically significant hemolysis 2 txns* 2 txns* n=41 3 txns 6 txns 6 txns Control INTERCEPT Group B – Safety Assessment Only (n=291, 3:1 ratio) INTERCEPT n=218 Screen, randomize n=73 Control * Group A patients receive 2 wash-in transfusions followed by 6 transfusions evaluated for efficacy.

  48. New RBC Biologic Component for Chronic Tranfusion? • Pathogen inactivated • WBC inactivated (without gamma damage) • Phenotyped/genotyped • Very low plasma content • Defined hemoglobin (gms) • Defined Fe (mg) • Diminished HLA and/or RBC alloimmunization potential?
