Recent Developments
−Removed: An Immunotherapeutic Targeting Chronic HBV Infection
−Removed: In May 2022, we completed the last patient visit in our HBV001 Phase 1 clinical trial in the United Kingdom.
−Removed: Two types of participants were enrolled:
−Removed: healthy participants and participants with CHB infection whose infection has been suppressed with oral antiviral therapies.
−Removed: The primary objective of the HBV001 trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of different doses of a single vaccination of ChAdOx1-HBV.
−Removed: In addition, the secondary objectives are to determine the immunogenicity of ChAdOx1-HBV and to determine the effect of ChAdOx1-HBV on the level of HBsAg in the participants with CHB infection.
−Removed: All cohorts of healthy volunteers and patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) have completed treatment and follow up.
−Removed: No serious adverse events have been reported.
−Removed: We have used genotype C HBV antigen sequences in our VTP-300 vectors to target the most prevalent CHB genotype.
−Removed: However, we believe VTP-300 may induce cross-reactive T cell responses with other prevalent genotypes.
−Removed: Therefore, we also aim to determine if the T cell responses induced by the ChAdOx1-HBV viral vector used in this trial can potentially cross-react with other common HBV genotypes.
−Removed: The criteria for CHB patients to be enrolled in this trial were (i) infection that has been suppressed with oral antiviral medication (HBV DNA < 40 copies/mL) and (ii) relatively low levels of cccDNA markers (HbsAg < 10,000 IU/ml).
−Removed: As higher levels of CD8+ T cell induction are likely to occur in healthy controls, these samples are utilized to map the responses induced by VTP-300, to reactivity with peptides, representing consensus sequences from genotypes B and D, which are more common in both the United States and Europe.
−Removed: In addition, we are conducting a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, HBV002, to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of VTP-300 with or without an anti-PD-1 in CHB patients whose infection has been suppressed with oral antiviral medication.
−Removed: HBV002 enrollment was completed in May 2022.
−Removed: In the HBV002 trial, we enrolled CHB patients in four treatment groups.
−Removed: The primary objective of this trial is to determine the safety and reactogenicity of the following in participants with CHB infection and virally suppressed with oral antiviral medication:
−Removed: MVA-HBV (prime-boost);
−Removed: ChAdOx1-HBV and MVA-HBV (prime-boost);
−Removed: 3 and 4 ChAdOx1-HBV and MVA-HBV and nivolumab (prime-boost + anti-PD-1).
−Removed: The secondary objectives are to evaluate immunogenicity, anti-PD-1 blockade timing, and the effect on the levels of hepatitis B markers, including HbsAg, hepatitis B surface antibody seroconversion, hepatitis B DNA, HbeAg, in CHB patients.
−Removed: The majority of the patients were recruited in Taiwan and South Korea and these territories were selected due to the high prevalence of HBV genotype C virus in Asia.
−Removed: Patients were also enrolled in the United Kingdom.
−Removed: In participants already immunologically primed by prior infection, it is possible that natural priming may eliminate the need for the prime-boost regimen, as was noted in human trials using the ChAdOx1 and MVA vector for influenza, in which all participants had pre-existing T cell responses induced by natural infection.
−Removed: Hence, group 1 of the HBV002 trial was designed to compare MVA-HBV given twice with the ChAdOx1-HBV plus MVA-HBV heterologous approach used in group 2.
−Removed: We expected that the regimen given to group 2 would be more immunogenic and planned to further explore this prime/boost regimen in groups 3 and 4.
−Removed: The dosing regimen was ChAdOx1-HBV (day 0) and MVA-HBV and low-dose nivolumab (day 28) for group 3 and ChAdOx1-HBV and low-dose nivolumab (day 0) and MVA-HBV and low-dose nivolumab (day 28) for group 4.
−Removed: In the cancer field, the use of the anti-PD-1 prior to vaccination has been reported to result in diminished T cell responses as compared to later administration.
−Removed: Whether the anti-PD-1 can be given simultaneously with the priming dose, or should follow it, is yet to be determined.
−Removed: Thus, in this protocol, we evaluated both regimens.
−Removed: Group 3 employed the low dose nivolumab given only at the boost, whereas group 4 administered the nivolumab at both the prime and the boost dose.
−Removed: Nivolumab has been used safely in earlier immunotherapy trials at 1/10 the licensed dose for oncology indications and has been shown to give full peripheral blood T cell receptor occupancy for up to over one month.
−Removed: An interim analysis of HBV002 was conducted in November 2021, after which the protocol was amended to stop enrollment in two cohorts:
−Removed: those receiving MVA prime and boost, group 1, and those receiving VTP-300 with low dose nivolumab administered with both the ChAdOx1 prime and the MVA booster dose, group 4.
−Removed: Enrollment continued in the cohort receiving VTP-300 as a monotherapy and the cohort receiving VTP-300 with a single low dose of nivolumab administered with the MVA booster dose.
−Removed: We believe that the interim analysis from the HBV002 Phase 1b/2a suggests that VTP-300 could become part of a regimen that can attain a functional cure.
−Removed: We plan to open HBV003, a Phase 2b clinical trial to explore the optimal regimen, in the fourth quarter of 2022.
−Removed: Although VTP-300 encodes genotype C antigens, many of these peptides are also expressed by other HBV genotypes.
−Removed: If data indicate that VTP-300 may be capable of inducing responses to non-genotype C HBVs, then we will aim to demonstrate activity against non-genotype C infected patients.
−Removed: We will also plan to evaluate additional combination regimens, such as next-generation modalities including RNA interference molecules, and may evaluate further potential collaboration partnerships.
−Removed: We may also evaluate VTP-300 in a trial in mainland China.
−Removed: EASL Poster and Update to Interim Analysis of Safety and Efficacy Data from HBV002 Study
−Removed: On June 22, 2022, we announced an update to the interim analysis of safety and efficacy data from the HBV002 study (NCT04778904), which was presented as a poster at the 2022 EASL International Liver Congress TM .
−Removed: The updated analysis, which included 39 patients with three-months of follow up, shows that VTP-300 as a monotherapy or in combination with low-dose nivolumab was administered with no treatment-related serious adverse events and two patients with mild, rapidly resolving transaminitis.
−Removed: Meaningful and durable reductions of HbsAg were seen in some patients who received VTP-300 as either a monotherapy or in combination with a single low dose of nivolumab at the booster dose.
−Removed: Declines were most prominent in patients with lower baseline HbsAg at the time of enrollment.
−Removed: In all patients who had a HbsAg decline greater than 0.5 log 10, the reductions of HbsAg were durable until the last measurement (up to eight months after the last dose).
−Removed: A robust T cell response against all encoded antigens, measured by overnight stimulation, was observed following VTP-300 administration, notable for marked CD8+ T cell predominance.
−Removed: Enrollment in the HBV002 study is complete with 55 patients enrolled.
−Removed: An updated interim analysis for all patients at the six-month follow-up timepoint is expected at the end of 2022.
−Removed: Future Development
−Removed: The Company plans to open a Phase 2b clinical trial of VTP-300 (NCT05343481) to explore the timing of low dose nivolumab and additional doses of the MVA boost component of VTP-300 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
−Removed: In addition, a trial that uses a lead-in of the Arbutus siRNA Ab729, followed by a blinded randomization to either placebo or VTP-300, is now underway with a planned enrollment of 20 patients per arm (placebo vs VTP-300 after the 6 month siRNA lead-in).
−Removed: The trial also plans a prospective, well-defined, nucleotide discontinuation protocol for those patients who reach substantial reduction in the level of hepatitis B surface antigen.
−Removed: Developing a Potential Non-Invasive Treatment for Persistent High-Risk HPV
−Removed: Enrollment in our Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of VTP-200, HPV001 (NCT04607850), is ongoing.

−Removed: Extensive preclinical studies were conducted using VTP-200, with resulting data showing that:
−Removed: ● VTP-200 was well tolerated in preclinical toxicology studies;
−Removed: ● VTP-200 is highly immunogenic in inbred and outbred mice.
−Removed: Toxicology Studies
−Removed: In a GLP-compliant toxicology study, outbred mice were dosed with ChAdOx1-HPV and MVA-HPV at dose levels approximating the maximum anticipated clinical dose.
−Removed: Dosing resulted in an immune response, but with no significant toxicology findings.
−Removed: Immunogenicity Studies
−Removed: In preclinical immunogenicity studies, the HPV antigen was delivered by plasmid DNA, ChAdOx1 and MVA vectors in prime-boost regimens to inbred and outbred mice.
−Removed: ChAdOx1-HPV prime followed by MVA-HPV boost was shown to induce higher magnitude
−Removed: and more durable HPV-specific T cell responses than other regimens, as shown in the figure below.
−Removed: VTP-200-induced T cells were polyfunctional and persisted at high frequencies for at least six weeks.
−Removed: Heterologous and Homologous Prime Boost Regimens in Inbred and Outbred Mice
−Removed: In the preclinical immunogenicity studies, HPV-specific effector CD8+ T cells were detected in the cervix following systemic administration of ChAdOx1-HPV prime and followed by MVA-HPV boost and increased in frequency over time, indicating continued trafficking of T cells to the cervix.
−Removed: Finally, T cells specific for the HPV-encoded antigens were detected in women with current or past hrHPV infections, confirming the presence of immunogens relevant to natural immune control.
−Removed: The MVA vector assessed in initial studies contains the HPV antigen at the thymidine kinase locus under the control of the p7.5 promoter.
−Removed: However, a more immunogenic MVA vector, which contains the HPV antigen under the control of the endogenous F11 promoter, was constructed.
−Removed: We determined that the T cell immunogenicity of the more immunogenic MVA promoter was superior to the MVA vector assessed in the initial preclinical studies and decided to use the next-generation vector in our clinical trials.
−Removed: Clinical Development
−Removed: Our HPV001 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of VTP-200 is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of VTP-200 and determine the optimal immunotherapeutic dose regimen.
−Removed: We plan to enroll a total of 105 healthy women with low grade lesions who have had persistent high-risk HPV, or hrHPV, for at least six months.
−Removed: Patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, or HSIL, or early cancer will be excluded.
−Removed: The trial is running in the United Kingdom and the European Union.
−Removed: We expect the initial interim data in the first quarter of 2023 when 60 of the patients in the main phase of the trial have reached the six-month evaluation timepoint.
−Removed: The diagram below provides an overview of the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial design.
−Removed: The HPV001 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial is designed to identify an efficacious dose based on a joint response index of CD8+ T cell magnitude, CD4+T cell magnitude and CD4+ T cell avidity.
−Removed: The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1-HPV plus MVA-HPV when administered in a prime-boost regimen.
−Removed: The secondary objectives of the trial are to determine the optimal dose and to evaluate the efficacy of HPV001 on the clearance of hrHPV infection and on the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or CIN.
−Removed: Future Development
−Removed: Following the HPV001 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, if successful, we intend to initiate further clinical trials of VTP-200, such as an expansion trial in patients with early grade CIN (squamous intraepithelial lesions, or LSIL) indication and additional trials in patients with more advanced CIN, vulval intraepithelial neoplasia, or VIN, and anal intraepithelial neoplasia, or AIN.
−Removed: We are in the early stages of collaborating on an NIH-funded trial to be conducted by the University of California San Francisco in more advanced CIN and AIN in human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, positive patients, to be recruited in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
−Removed: Our Next-Generation Immunotherapeutic Candidate for Prostate Cancer
−Removed: We are developing our prostate cancer immunotherapy candidate, VTP-850, for prostate cancer.
−Removed: The product candidate will build upon the positive data from a Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials of VTP-800, an earlier version of the product, sponsored by the University of Oxford.
−Removed: VTP-800 is composed of a heterologous prime-boost regimen with ChAdOx1 prime and MVA boost;
−Removed: both components encode 5T4, an antigen expressed by most prostate cancers.
−Removed: VTP-800 has been administered to patients with prostate cancer in two clinical trials sponsored by the University of Oxford.
−Removed: We are developing VTP-850 as our next-generation prostate cancer immunotherapeutic, with the goal of inducing a broader response by targeting additional antigens expressed by prostate cancer cells.
−Removed: Current Development Status
−Removed: We are developing VTP-850, our next-generation prostate cancer product candidate, to improve upon VTP-800.
−Removed: Both VTP-800 and VTP-850 are composed of a heterologous prime-boost regimen with ChAdOx1 prime and MVA boost;
−Removed: however, VTP-800 encodes only one antigen, 5T4, while VTP-850 encodes four antigens, including 5T4.
−Removed: We designed VTP-850 to induce a broader immune response by encoding multiple antigens to reduce the ability of cancer cells to evade the immune response by mutating or losing expression of any one antigen.
−Removed: The antigens we encode in VTP-850 are expressed in most prostate cancers but have little or no expression on healthy tissues other than prostate.
−Removed: Clinical Development
−Removed: Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials of VTP-800 were sponsored and conducted by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
−Removed: VANCE was a first-in-human, open-label, randomized, Phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of heterologous prime-boost ChAdOx1-MVA administration as compared with homologous prime-boost with MVA alone, with and without low dose cyclophosphamide in localized prostate cancer.
−Removed: Thirty-nine patients with early stage localized, castration-sensitive prostate cancer were treated.
−Removed: Thirty-three patients received heterologous prime-boost with ChAdOx1-5T4 and MVA-5T4, while six patients received homologous prime-boost with MVA-5T4 alone.
−Removed: Patients received both regimens alone or with cyclophosphamide preconditioning.
−Removed: VTP-800 was generally well tolerated, with side effects of local injection site reaction and myalgia, which are consistent with those observed for these vectors in other clinical trials.
−Removed: There were no reported treatment-related serious adverse events.
−Removed: It was also observed that 59% of participants had no detectable T cell response at baseline and developed a new 5T4-specific T cell response, as measured by an ex vivo gamma interferon ELISpot.
−Removed: Two patients had a baseline response, and the frequency of 5T4-specific T cells was increased following administration.
−Removed: The mean peak response of the 5T4-specific T cells in the responders was 198 cells per one million PBMCs, which is notable given that the 5T4 is a self-antigen.
−Removed: T cell infiltration into the resected prostate was also observed.
−Removed: The figure below shows the 5T4-specific T cell responses to VTP-800.
−Removed: The peak response, expressed as the number of 5T4-specific T cells secreting IFN-γ per one million PBMCs, in each patient who mounted a 5T4-specific T cell response following administration was compared to the 5T4 response detected prior to the first dose.
−Removed: The bars represent medians.
−Removed: T Cell Response in Patients
−Removed: ADVANCE was an open label, non-randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of VTP-800 in combination with anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, nivolumab, in 23 patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
−Removed: The primary objectives of the ADVANCE trial were to assess the safety and response rate of VTP-800 when administered in combination with nivolumab.
−Removed: The secondary objectives were to assess the immune responses in peripheral blood and to evaluate radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival.
−Removed: Patients received ChAdOx1-5T4 prime and MVA-5T4 boost one month later.
−Removed: Nivolumab was administered at months one, two and three.
−Removed: In most patients, VTP-800 was also given at months three and four.
−Removed: All patients received 2.5 x 10 10 vp of ChAdOx1-5T4, 2.0 x 10 10 pfu of MVA.5T4 and 480mg of nivolumab.
−Removed: VTP-800 was generally well tolerated.
−Removed: The most common treatment emergent adverse events were bone pain, injection site pain, muscle pain, stomatitis, and constipation, and most were mild and grade 1 or 2.
−Removed: The only grade 3 adverse event was a chest infection, which was not related to study drug.
−Removed: There were no grade 4 or 5 treatment-related adverse events.
−Removed: Three of eight patients with measurable disease had partial tumor responses.
−Removed: Five of 23, or 22%, of patients had greater than 50% reduction of prostate specific antigen, or PSA, at any timepoint, as shown in the figure below.
−Removed: PSA Reduction in Patients
−Removed: Future Development
−Removed: We are planning PCA001, a Phase 1/2 open-label clinical trial of VTP-850 in patients with rising PSA after definitive local therapy for prostate cancer, to begin in the second half of 2022.
−Removed: We plan to conduct the trial in several countries, including the United States.
−Removed: The trial will involve a Phase 1 dose finding stage with boost dose administered either intramuscularly or intravenously to determine the Phase 2 recommended dose and route of administration, followed by a two-stage expansion phase to evaluate immunogenicity and anti-tumor activity of VTP-850.
−Removed: Combination cancer immunotherapy for HPV16+ cancers
−Removed: VTP-1100 is our first product leveraging the SNAPvax TM platform technology – brought into Vaccitech following the acquisition of Avidea Technologies in December 2021 – that will enter clinical testing.
−Removed: VTP-1100 differs from VTP-200 in composition and patient population targeted:
−Removed: VTP-1100 will use a configuration of SNAPvax that is designed to elicit antigen-specific CD8+ T cells against HPV16+ cancers, either when administered alone or when used in a potent heterologous prime-boost vaccine with the established ChAdOx1 platform.
−Removed: These regimens will be provided in combination with anti-
−Removed: PD-1 (checkpoint inhibitor) to fully unleash the potential of the T cells for mediating tumor killing.
−Removed: Preclinical studies in mice have shown that the SNAPvax-ChAdOx prime-boost induces superior T cell responses as compared with single or dual agent therapies (see figure below).
−Removed: Status and Future Development
−Removed: VTP-1100 is currently in the preclinical stage with GMP manufacturing and pivotal IND-enabling studies underway.
−Removed: We recently concluded a pre-IND review with the FDA in July 2022, and based on the agency’s feedback expect to enter clinical testing in the first half of 2023.
−Removed: Antigen-specific tolerizing immunotherapy for celiac disease
−Removed: Patients with celiac disease have an unwanted immune response against gluten proteins and can become severely ill following exposure to gluten found in various cereal grains, especially wheat.
−Removed: VTP-1000 is a tolerizing immunotherapy that is designed to induce antigen-specific regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote tolerance and suppress the unwanted immune response to gluten.
−Removed: VTP-1000 is the second product based on the SNAPvax TM platform, leveraging its plug-and-play modularity to induce an entirely different type of T cell compared to the configuration utilized in VTP-1100.
−Removed: VTP-1000 comprises multiple gluten antigens (representing the key epitopes linked to celiac disease) and an immunomodulator co-delivered in nanoparticles of precise size and composition that are optimized to target immune cells that prime and expand Tregs.
−Removed: While the SNAPvax tolerance vaccine is based on the same platform technology as the SNAPvax cancer vaccine enabling VTP-1100, an important distinction is that the tolerance vaccine includes an immunosuppressive immunomodulator that drives Tregs expansion and which prevents proinflammatory responses.
−Removed: Status and Future Development
−Removed: VTP-1000 is currently in the preclinical stage.
−Removed: Preclinical lead optimization studies were recently completed and the product is entering engineering manufacturing, which we expect will enable us to enter first-in-human testing in a dose-escalation and challenge study by end of 2023.
−Removed: Vacccitech plans to include immune correlates analysis as part of the phase 1 study to provide an indication that the immunotherapy is inducing Tregs.
−Removed: Importantly, Vaccitech also intends to include a controlled gluten challenge in the phase 1 study (for example, see Goel G, et al.
−Removed: Science Advances (2019) Cytokine release and gastrointestinal symptoms after gluten challenge in celiac disease ).
−Removed: This controlled gluten challenge is intended to provide an early biologic signal that VTP-1000 suppresses pathological inflammation.
−Removed: As VTP-1000 is our first product directed towards the treatment of an inflammatory disease, demonstration of Treg induction and/or suppression of unwanted immune responses to gluten would pave the way for other therapies based on the SNAPvax tolerance vaccine platform, including those for allergies and other autoimmune indications.
−Removed: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
−Removed: The ongoing spread of COVID-19, which we refer to as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the policies and regulations implemented by governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact, both directly and indirectly, on the global economy and our business and operations, including continuing disruption to our clinical trial activities.
−Removed: Of note, the initiation of our Phase 1 clinical trial for VTP-500, which was being conducted at the University of Oxford, was paused due to COVID-19, and subsequently resumed and was completed.
