MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT:
MAAT – the “Company”), a French clinical-stage biotech and a
pioneer in the development of microbiome-based ecosystem therapies
dedicated to improving survival outcomes for patients with
cancer, announced today the initiation of a Phase 2a clinical
trial1 sponsored by AP-HP2, evaluating MaaT013, MaaT Pharma’s lead
Microbiome Ecosystem Therapy candidate, in combination with immune
checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), ipilimumab (Yervoy®) and nivolumab
(Opdivo®), which are standard first line treatments for patients
with metastatic melanoma.
The Phase 2a clinical trial is coordinated by Professor Franck
Carbonnel, MD, Professor of Gastroenterology at the Kremlin-Bicêtre
Hospital in Villejuif, France, and is being carried out in
collaboration with INRAE3 and Institut Gustave Roussy. The trial is
a randomized, placebo-controlled study and is expected to enroll 60
patients in France. The primary endpoint is safety, while the
secondary endpoint will evaluate MaaT013’s potential to improve the
response to ICI therapies, as a consequence of MaaT013’s impact on
the patient’s gut microbiome. Patients will be randomized to
receive either MaaT013 in combination with both ICIs or a placebo
with both ICIs. MaaT Pharma will provide MaaT013 drug candidate and
the placebo for this study as well as perform the microbiome
profiling of patients using its proprietary gutPrint® platform.
This clinical trial is registered on clinicaltrials.gov.
Several studies have suggested that gut microbiota diversity and
richness are predictors of response to ICI treatment4 in patients
with solid tumors. Notably, in two recent studies conducted in
melanoma patients5, fecal microbiota transfer from ICI therapy
responders could overcome resistance to that same therapy in
non-responders.
About MaaT013
MaaT013 is a full-ecosystem, off-the-shelf, standardized,
pooled-donor, Microbiome Ecosystem Therapy. It is characterized by
a consistently high diversity and richness of microbial species and
the presence of ButycoreTM (group of bacterial species known to
produce anti-inflammatory metabolites). MaaT013 aims to restore the
symbiotic relationship between the patient’s functional gut
microbiome and their immune system to correct the responsiveness
and tolerance of immune functions and thus reduce
steroid-resistant, gastrointestinal-predominant aGvHD. MaaT013 has
been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for
acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) and is currently being
evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial. MaaT Pharma has obtained
positive safety and efficiency clinical data for 76 patients with
aGvHD (Phase 2 clinical trial and Early Access Program in
France).
About MaaT Pharma
MaaT Pharma, a clinical stage biotechnology company, has
established a complete approach to restoring patient-microbiome
symbiosis in oncology. Committed to treating cancer and
graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a serious complication of
allogeneic stem cell transplantation, MaaT Pharma has launched, in
March 2022, a Phase 3 clinical trial for patients with acute GvHD,
following the achievement of its proof of concept in a Phase 2
trial. Its powerful discovery and analysis platform, gutPrint®,
supports the development and expansion of its pipeline by
determining novel disease targets, evaluating drug candidates, and
identifying biomarkers for microbiome-related conditions.
The company’s Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies are produced
through a standardized cGMP manufacturing and quality control
process to safely deliver the full diversity of the microbiome, in
liquid and oral formulations. MaaT Pharma benefits from the
commitment of world-leading scientists and established
relationships with regulators to support the integration of the use
of microbiome therapies in clinical practice.
MaaT Pharma is listed on Euronext Paris (ticker: MAAT).
