Interview - Allergy Therapeutics Sniffs Out Second Chance
Apr. 12, 2016 8:51 AM ET
About: Allergan plc (AGN)

After nearly a decade of delays Allergy Therapeutics (NYSE:AGN) is getting back on track with its short-course allergy vaccines. The company expects results from two phase II studies at the end of June: one in the US with Pollinex Quattro Grass, the other in Europe with Pollinex Quattro Birch.

The UK group hopes that the grass vaccine will be the first seasonal subcutaneous immunotherapy to reach the US, with phase III trials to start later this year and launch in 2020 if all goes well. In Europe, Allergy already sells its Pollinex Quattro products on a named-patient basis, with revenues of £43m ($60m) in 2015, but is also seeking its first formal approval.

The US opportunity is “potentially transformational”, say Edison analysts, who put peak US sales for the Pollinex Quattro range – including the grass vaccine, the tree vaccine and a third product, Pollinex Quattro Ragweed – at $1.1bn.

This would be quite a turnaround from 2007, when Allergy was forced to delay its research program after an adverse event. Although this turned out to be unrelated to the vaccine, the FDA did not lift its clinical hold until 2012 after it had conducted a review of novel vaccine adjuvants.

Subcutaneous vs sublingual

Allergy did not resume US clinical development until last year. In the meantime, the company’s vaccines have been overtaken by sublingual allergy treatments developed by Stallergenes and ALK Abello.

But these oral treatments have not taken off, perhaps owing to a preference for subcutaneous vaccines in the US. Allergy's chief executive, Manuel Llobet, tells EP Vantage that, being subcutaneous, Pollinex Quattro “will have a really fast penetration”.

Somewhat counterintuitively, he believes that compliance with Allergy’s vaccines, which require four to six injections, is better than with sublingual treatments. “You might have to go to the doctor six times, but then that’s it. With the tablet you have to take one every day for at least a year, and patients don’t really follow the treatment.”

Allergy Therapeutics announces positive top-line results from the PQBirch204 Phase II study for birch-induced seasonal allergic rhinitis


· Primary endpoint met

· Statistically significant dose-response relationship (p<0.01)

· All dosing regimens were safe and well tolerated

· Adherence was greater than 90%

Allergy Therapeutics, (AIM:AGY), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company specialising in allergy vaccines, today announces positive top-line results from the Company's PQBirch204 Phase II study, a multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to explore the safety and response of different cumulative doses of Birch Modified Allergen Tyrosine adsorbed and MPL® (POLLINEX® Quattro Birch) for birch pollen induced seasonal allergic rhinitis.

The study randomised 371 patients into six cumulative dosing regimens plus a placebo, evaluating the change in Total Symptom Score (TSS) following a conjunctival provocation test (CPT) with the objective to achieve a dose recommended for Phase III development.


Results summary of the PQBirch 204 Phase II study programme


· The primary endpoint, to demonstrate a statistically significant (p<0.01) dose-response for the 5000 standardised units (SU) to 27300 SU, was met. This enables prediction of the dose to enter Phase III development

· The study demonstrated a statistically significant (p<0.01) dose-response for the 5000 standardised units (SU) to 27300SU dose range studied

· The dose-response closely followed and extended the findings of the previous dose-response study (PQBirch203), which studied doses from 600SU to 13600SU

· PQBirch continues to be well-tolerated and no safety concerns were reported in any treatment arm. There was no significant relationship between any adverse drug reaction exhibited and the respective dosage of allergoid

· Overall adherence to the dosing regimens was approximately 94% with no relevant differences between treatment arms.

Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer of Allergy Therapeutics, said: "The results of the PQBirch204 trial are very encouraging and they reaffirm the potential of our Pollinex platform to treat the underlying cause of allergic rhinitis. Approximately 6% of the population in Europe alone is allergic to birch pollen and there continues to be a need for a safe and well tolerated effective treatment for this significant health issue. Pollinex is the only ultra-short course aluminium-free treatment in the market and its convenience for patients is driving our market penetration in all our European markets.

"This study is a significant milestone in our route to Marketing Authorisation and keeps us on track to commence the Phase III study in early 2017."

Allergy Therapeutics results not to be sniffed at
12:33 09 May 2016

The phase II trial assessed the response from 371 patients, which revealed a statistically significant dose-response relationship from the groups receiving the medication.

757z468_Pollen2.jpg

Allergy Therapeutics plc (LON:AGY) described as “very encouraging” the results from the latest clinical study of its PQBirch204 treatment for hay fever caused by birch pollen.

The phase II trial assessed the response from 371 patients, which revealed a statistically significant dose-response relationship from the groups receiving the medication.

Allergy said the latest clinical data “reaffirmed the potential” of the company’s Pollinex platform to treat the different variants of allergic rhinitis.

Researchers also found that PQBirch204 was safe and well tolerated, while 94% of patients stuck to the dosing guidelines.

It is expected a phase III study will get underway early next year.

"The results of the PQBirch204 trial are very encouraging and they reaffirm the potential of our Pollinex platform to treat the underlying cause of allergic rhinitis,” said chief executive Manuel Llobet.

Is Allergy undervalued?

The shares, up 28% in the last year, were ahead a further 3% in early afternoon trade at 26.37p.

There is further for the stock to go, according to Panmure Gordon’s Dr Mike Mitchell.

He says the market is applying an “unduly onerous” discount to the Allergy shares, which he values at 53p.

“In itself the outcome for the Birch programme paves the way for late-stage development of that programme on track and, on a qualitative basis, the news potentially reflects an important de-risking factor for Allergy Therapeutics’ wider platform,” Mitchell said in a note to clients.

Profitable and growing strongly

Allergy Therapeutics has a profitable core business and, as the name suggests, a number of ground-breaking allergy vaccines that trade under various brand names. Its most commonly prescribed vaccines are used to treat pollen-related allergies, particularly allergies to grasses and trees.

It has has a strong presence in Europe with established operations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, while in other markets it often makes its products available through distribution partners.

Its Pollinex Quattro vaccine for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis from grass, tree or ragweed pollen allergy is already established in Europe, and the board is confident the success can be replicated in the US, where it will enjoy first mover advantage in a market potentially worth $2bn.

Allergy Therapeutics boss excited by PQBirch204 Phase II data
14:25 09 May 2016

Manuel Llobet, chief executive of Allergy Therapeutics plc (LON:AGY) says the latest data from its Phase II trial of its PQBirch204 treatment for hay fever caused by birch pollen is “exciting for our company”.

Allergy released the results from the latest clinical study, which assessed the response from 371 patients.

The phase II trial revealed a statistically significant dose-response relationship from the groups receiving the medication, with Llobet noting the company has received “very strong top –line data”.

It means the company is still on track to start the Phase III study in early 2017, and Llobet says the data is “another step towards our clinical goal to get Polinex Quattro Birch registered in Europe as soon as possible”.

Hardman & CoAllergy Therapeutics Plc Progress towards EU reg approval
Allergy Therapeutics Plc (LON:AGY) is a long-established specialist in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergies. It’s lead product, Pollinex Quattro is available in Europe only on a ‘Named Patient’ basis. However, protocols have been agreed with EU and US regulators for a programme of clinical trials to get full regulatory approval of Pollinex Quattro as a biological. AGY has reported positive outcomes from one of the trials required for EU approval. There remains a considerable valuation mis-match between AGY and its peers, which provides scope for considerable upside towards our risk-adjusted DCF valuation of 89p per share.

Allergy Therapeutics hosts Satellite Symposium at EAACI

~ World-leading allergists present technological advances and immunotherapy innovations ~

Allergy Therapeutics (AIM:AGY), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company specialising in allergy vaccines, announces today that data was presented in a Satellite Symposium entitled: "Adjuvants in Allergy: elevating efficacy" at the 35th Annual Congress of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) in Vienna, Austria on 12 June 2016, relating to a number of the Company's products and technologies.

Three world-leading experts in the field of allergen immunotherapy and vaccine delivery, Ralph Mösges, Randolph Brehler and Thomas Kündig, presented information on innovation in immunotherapy including Allergy Therapeutics' key product Pollinex Quattro®. Pollinex Quattro®'s specialist technology was discussed, highlighting the marketed product's ability to reduce irritation and systemic reactions. Furthermore, Dr Brehler discussed how the potent depot adjuvant MCT (Micro Crystalline Tyrosine), initiated by the Company as an alternative to aluminium in subcutaneous immunotherapy and used in Pollinex Quattro® as well as certain other of the Company's subcutaneous injected therapies, has an immunomodulating action that augments a shift in the immune reactions responsible for the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Data on the future role of Virus-Like-Particles (VLP) in immunotherapy was also presented as a potential new injectable vaccine immunotherapy technology. Allergy Therapeutics recently acquired an exclusive VLP technology licence and is conducting a research project on VLP-based allergy vaccines. The worldwide food allergy market is worth a potential $8bn and, currently, there is no established and safe immunotherapy treatments available for peanut allergy, the first indication the Company intends to address.


Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "As a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company, we are delighted to be breaking new ground in allergen immunotherapy. Allergy Therapeutics has the potential to transform allergy treatment with an established range of diagnostics and specific short-course aluminium-free immunotherapy vaccines and we are well-placed to deliver the relief from symptoms of allergy that millions of patients need."

Allergy Therapeutics announces findings from mEEC dose range finding study G204

~ Further dose range finding required and US plans progress with goal of being first to market ~

~ Group's European sales accelerate at 19% growth rate ~

Allergy Therapeutics (AIM:AGY), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company specialising in allergy vaccines, announces findings from its exploratory Phase II dose-ranging study (G204) for the US GrassMATAMPL clinical development program and informs that the results did not determine a recommended dose for the Phase III trial. A further dose range finding study will be implemented prior to proceeding into the planned pivotal Phase III study. GrassMATAMPL is an ultra-short course subcutaneous allergen specific immunotherapy ("SCIT") administered prior to the grass pollen season.

Based on the successful dose response data identified in the Phase II G203 study for the same US GrassMATAMPL programme, the G204 trial was designed to explore higher dose regimens using the novel technology of the mEEC (mobile environmental exposure chamber) and optimise the recommended dose before starting the pivotal Phase III trial (G306) to be performed in the US.

In contrast to the G203 study, the dose range finding data with the mEEC did not allow the Company to recommend an optimised dose regime to take into Phase III studies for the US. Consequently, Allergy Therapeutics will undertake a further dose-ranging study employing the same successful European dose-finding trial design with a fixed Conjunctival Provocation Test (CPT) which provided robust results for the optimisation of the Company's marketed subcutaneous birch pollen product, Pollinex® Quattro Birch (PQBirch).

The next dose range finding study is planned to start in 2017. Allergy Therapeutics will await the outcome of an End of Phase II meeting with the FDA, scheduled later in 2016, before progressing into Phase III.

Commenting on the announcement, Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer of Allergy Therapeutics, said: "Defining the optimal dose is part of late-stage product development and we will revisit dose evaluation as we recently successfully did with our PQ Birch product, using two separate and complimentary dose-ranging studies. Additionally, the new findings of our Phase II EEC study will need to be discussed with FDA before deciding on the recommended dose for the following Phase III registration trial. While still being determined to become the first company to introduce SCIT to the US, a deferred entry time into the market is now anticipated.

"In Europe, our market penetration continues to accelerate, outperforming the market with 19% year-to-date revenue growth*, an increase from the 12% revenue growth* we had achieved in December 2015.

"Elsewhere in the pipeline, we successfully completed a Phase IIb dose finding study for Pollinex Quattro Birch in Germany and Austria earlier this year; we've completed the exploratory dose finding study in the US; set up the protocols for the Acarovac Quattro programme in Spain; and we have initiated the proof-of-concept plan for the VLP Peanut allergy vaccine in Switzerland.

"We are progressing with our plans and are very excited by the prospects of building a leading subcutaneous company in Europe as well as in international markets."

*revenue growth is at constant currency and is supported by the Immunal acquisition.

Allergy Therapeutics announces publication of 1-year follow up results of its mite allergoid immunotherapy Acarovac Plus™

~ Significant decreases in symptom scores reported with Acarovac Plus ~

~ Product treatment was proven to be well tolerated and safe ~

Allergy Therapeutics (AIM:AGY), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company specialising in allergy vaccines, today announces the publication of a 1-year follow-up study of patients using Acarovac Plus™, its unique, microcrystalline tyrosine-adsorbed, house dust mite-allergoid subcutaneous immunotherapy in the peer-review journal Immunotherapy.

A previous study in 2014, led by Dr Albert Roger, Director of the Allergy Unit at Universitari Hospital Trias I Pujol, Badalona, Spain, assessed the tolerability and safety of Acarovac Plus™ in patients with respiratory allergy to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus under conditions of normal clinical practice. This 1-year follow-up investigation, with the existing patient pool and testing regimen, assessed effectiveness using a nasal provocation test and measurement of immunological markers that are indicative of immunotherapy success.

A statistically significant reduction in symptom scores was observed at both follow-up visits (four weeks and one year), with >50% reduction in symptom scores recorded after one year. Moreover, significant improvements in immunological markers were noted at the follow-up visits. Patients reported statistically significant improvements in satisfaction scores after one year in relation to overall effectiveness and convenience of the treatment.

2016 has seen a significant increase in sales of Acarovac Plus™ to over EUR 1 million in key markets Spain and Portugal, compared to 2015. Sales of house dust mite immunotherapy are expected to increase rapidly over the coming years with over 20% of the population in Europe experiencing an allergic reaction to house dust mites. Therefore, Allergy Therapeutics is continuing to develop Acarovac Quattro™, an ultra-short course therapy utilising the adjuvant monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), which is used in the Company's successful Pollinex Quattro product range currently in late stage development in Europe and the US to complement Acarovac Plus™.

Commenting on the publication, Dr Albert Roger, principal investigator for the study, said: "The successful clinical results in the 1-year follow-up study clearly demonstrate the effective treatment of house dust mite allergy by Acarovac Plus™. We also observed significant decreases in symptom scores and improvement in nasal sensitivity immediately after the up dosing phase of one month and a high rate of patient satisfaction early in treatment."

Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer of Allergy Therapeutics, said: "This data further reinforces the benefits of Acarovac Plus™ in the perennial allergy vaccine market. Using maintenance injections six weeks apart, Acarovac Plus™ has been shown to decrease the symptoms of house dust mite allergy one year after treatment. This dosing regime has the potential to improve the adherence and compliance that is essential for a successful treatment. Acarovac Plus™ bolsters our portfolio of allergy immunotherapy products on the market in Europe and we look forward to continued good growth."
