Hardman Research: Growth in a tough market

Growth in a tough market: AGY is a long-established specialist in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Pollinex Quattro (PQ) grass, the subcutaneous allergy immunotherapy (AIT), continues to gain market share despite being available in the EU only on a 'Named Patient' basis. Trials designed to obtain regulatory approval for PQ approved as a biologic in both Europe and the US are well advanced. Meanwhile, although underlying sales growth was weaker than expected in 1H'18, this was on the back of an unusually shorter and lower pollen season in central Europe, suggesting that AGY has continued to make further market share gains.

Allergy Therapeutics plc

Completion of recruitment in PQ Grass Phase II trial

Trial running ahead of schedule with data now due in early H2 2018


12 February 2018 Allergy Therapeutics plc (AIM:AGY), the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical group specialising in allergy vaccines, today announces that recruitment has been completed in its grass allergy Phase II study (G205), with results due ahead of expectations in early H2 2018. The trial is designed to evaluate the dose-response and safety of its ultra-short course, aluminium free PQ Grass immunotherapy to address the cause of symptoms of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis due to grass pollen.


The study protocol involves more than 440 patients in over 50 sites across Germany, Austria and Poland. The trial is designed to identify the optimal efficacious cumulative dose using conjunctival provocation testing. This type of challenge testing has recently been used in studies for a similar subcutaneous allergoid MPL product resulting in selection and approval of dose for use in a phase III study.


One of the key markets for this global product is expected to be the US. The US allergy immunotherapy market is estimated by the Group to be worth $2 billion with potential peak grass vaccine sales of $300-400 million per annum. If approved, the product will be the first registered subcutaneous immunotherapy product in the US for allergy.


Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer of Allergy Therapeutics, commented: "The completion of recruitment for all patients in our Phase II trial is an important step in our journey towards access to the US market in which PQ Grass has the potential to become a convenient, best in class, ultra-short course subcutaneous immunotherapy. We are pleased that the study is running ahead of schedule and look forward to seeing the results later this year."

Clinical development towards submission: AGY is a long-established specialist in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Pollinex Quattro (PQ) Grass, the subcutaneous allergy immunotherapy (AIT), continues to gain market share despite being available in the EU only on a 'Named Patient' basis. The Phase III trial, designed to obtain approval for PQ Birch as a biologic in Europe, is well advanced, and the Phase II PQ Grass trial will report data shortly. As explained in the February trading update, underlying 1H'18 sales growth, although weaker than expected due to a low pollen season in central Europe, suggests that AGY has continued to make market share gains.

Allergy Therapeutics Publishes New Data Validating Mode of Action and Unique Adjuvant Properties of its Patented Adjuvant, Microcrystalline Tyrosine (MCT®), in The Journal of Immunology

Novel Findings Further Highlight the Effectiveness of MCT as Alternative to Alum and its Potential Advantage in Allergy-Specific Immunotherapy

WORTHING, United Kingdom, 14 May 2018 - Allergy Therapeutics (AIM:AGY), a leading, fully-integrated commercial biotechnology company specialising in allergy vaccines, today announces that new data from a study investigating immune responses produced by microcrystalline tyrosine (MCT®)-based vaccines as compared with conventional aluminium hydroxide has been published online in The Journal of Immunology. The findings demonstrate that, based on its comparable strength and mechanism of Ag-specific IgG induction and induction of T cell responses, MCT® is a suitable and flexible alternative to aluminium hydroxide as an adjuvant in both allergen-specific immunotherapy and infectious disease applications. The study also demonstrated that MCT®-adjuvanted allergens caused fewer anaphylactic reactions compared with alum-adjuvanted allergens.

"These findings provide evidence of the effectiveness of MCT as an adjuvant, confirming the mechanism of action underlying its ability to induce a robust and sustained immunological response. Additionally, the findings indicated a potentially favourable profile for the use of MCT over alum in allergy-specific vaccines," said Matthias Kramer, M.D., Allergy Therapeutics' International Medical Director and co-author of the paper. "We believe these data highlight the significance of our differentiated proprietary platform technology in the development of our growing suite of cutting-edge, globally marketed ultra-short course allergy vaccines."


This is the first study to report the mechanism of action by which MCT governs the immunologic response after exposure to an antigen and protection against anaphylaxis in an allergic model. The results illustrate upregulation of IgG antibody responses and a higher IgE:IgG ratio in MCT-based immunotherapy compared with Alum-based immunotherapy. A high IgE:IgG ratio has been reported to be a positive predictive marker for allergen immunotherapy in humans.

Further evaluation in this study indicated that MCT facilitates robust adaptive T cell responses with associated IFN-γ (interferon gamma) and TNF-α (tumour necrosis factor alpha), which is in line with previous studies illustrating protective efficacy in influenza and malaria applications1, 2. Meanwhile, studies in a cancer (melanoma) model are underway.

Allergy Therapeutics announces positive top-line results from its Grass MATA MPL
Phase II dose ranging study

- Primary endpoint met with highly statistically significant dose-response relationship established -

- Optimal Phase III dose identified -

- Phase III study due to commence in 2019 -



21 May 2018 Allergy Therapeutics plc (AIM: AGY), the fully integrated commercial biotechnology company specialising in allergy vaccines, today announces highly positive top-line results from its Grass Modified Allergen Tyrosine Absorbed (MATA) MPL Phase II dose ranging study (G205). The trial met its primary endpoint of establishing a dose-response relationship and a Phase III dose. Approximately 30% of the population in Europe and 25% of the population of the US are allergic to grass pollen1, one of the most prevalent global aeroallergens.



The key results announced today:

· Primary endpoint of the trial met with highly statistically significant dose-response relationship (p<0.0001)

· All dosing regimens were safe and well tolerated

· The currently marketed product showed a significant improvement compared to placebo (p<0.01)

· Significant increase in immunoglobulin results, highly consistent with the dose response observed for the primary endpoint

· Adherence to the short treatment course was excellent. More than 95% of patients received the target cumulative dose during six weekly subcutaneous injections


The G205 trial is a multi-centre, double-blind, placebo controlled study designed to explore the safety and response of different cumulative doses of Grass MATA and MPL for grass-pollen induced seasonal allergic rhinitis. The European study took place in Germany, Poland and Austria and 447 patients were randomised into four active arms plus a placebo, evaluating the change in allergic symptoms as determined by the total symptom score (TSS) following conjunctival provocation test (CPT) with the objective to achieve a dose recommended for Phase III development.



Manuel Llobet, CEO at Allergy Therapeutics, stated: "We are thrilled with these extremely positive results demonstrating dose dependent efficacy of the product including the current marketed dose. This study represents a major milestone in our path forward to a registered grass allergy product in Europe. Additionally, this brings us closer towards marketing authorisation in the estimated $2bn US allergy market, a significant opportunity where our product has the potential to be the first registered subcutaneous immunotherapy for the treatment of grass allergy. With an optimal dose identified, we look forward to sharing this new, exciting data with the health authorities and plan to commence a Phase III study in 2019.


"Allergy Therapeutics provides the only ultra-short course, aluminium-free treatment containing our MPL adjuvant in the European market, and its convenience for patients is driving market penetration in all our markets."

Positive new clinical data with house-dust mite immunotherapy

~ House-dust mite immunotherapy shown to be well-tolerated and demonstrates highly significant symptom improvement ~

~ Allergy experts present an overview of adjuvants at satellite symposium during EAACI 2018 ~


29 May 2018 Allergy Therapeutics plc (AIM: AGY), the fully integrated commercial biotechnology company specialising in allergy vaccines, today announces positive new data on its wholly-owned modified house-dust mite subcutaneous immunotherapy1. This data will be presented today at the 37th Annual Congress of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) in Munich, Germany.

The Group's modified house-dust mite product sold as through a Named Patient Program in Spain, is the precursor to the modified house-dust mite + MPL product currently in Phase I, as announced in February 2017.


In this observational study conducted in 10 sites across Spain, 141 patients were evaluated and demonstrated a 43% decrease in combined symptom medication score compared with baseline after one year (p = <0.0001). In addition, in a subgroup of asthmatic subjects, 16.7% of patients were observed with moderate persistent asthma at one year compared with 50.9% at baseline (p = <0.01). No patients presented with serious adverse events and no patients had to stop treatment due to any adverse event.

Allergy Therapeutics also presented a series of poster presentations at EAACI with key highlights including an overview of the early-phase pre-clinical developments for the Group's planned recombinant peanut vaccine3 and a discussion of the results of a non-interventional study investigating rapid up-dosing of tree sublingual immunotherapy4.


Other events held by the Group at EAACI included a satellite symposium entitled: "Adjuvants through the ages"2 which provided a summary of how adjuvant technologies have evolved and how Allergy Therapeutics is spearheading the design and testing of state of the art allergen-specific immunotherapies.



Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are excited to be sharing our latest research at EAACI, demonstrating the breadth of our unique allergen immunotherapy company. The positive new data on our modified house-dust mite immunotherapy and our recent announcement on the success of our Grass G205 dose-finding clinical study confirms that our novel allergen-specific immunotherapies are formulated to the optimal strength, and we believe Allergy Therapeutics has the potential to transform allergy treatment with optimised-dose, well-characterised, aluminium-free, convenient products."
