Let's start. Can you give a short-term update on key figures and important events in the third quarter?

In the third quarter we filed dara in both the US and the EU, and got priority review in the US and accelerated assessment in the EU (in September), ...

Financials, we improved the operating results by 74% vs same time in 2014, and improved our 2015 full year financial guidance.

And now some questions about Dara.
|
![]() |
11/11 16:03 af Sukkeralf |
Looking at daratumumabs 5-6 mechanism of action - is it kind of possible to rank the importance of them ?. And especially the new possible immunomodulatory effect - if thats for real how much do you think that could impact the current peaksale predictions ($5-6 billion) ?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:04 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Daratumumab is unique in having such a broad set of mechanisms of action, this has not been seen before with any other antibody...

11/11 16:04 af Jan Van de Winkel |
It is not easy to attribute efficacy in patients to a particular mechanism of action....
|
![]() |
11/11 16:05 af Jan Van de Winkel |
but we do think the immunomodulatory activity may very well turn out to be very impactful and lead to a potential broader target population for the antibody.

11/11 16:05 af Sukkeralf |
Jan you have added more patients to the phase Ib (backbone treatments) with daratumumab - 20 patients in the CFZ-dex combi and 40 patients in the KRd combi. Can you elaborate on the way forward for these combinations ?
|

11/11 16:06 af Jan Van de Winkel |
This is part of Janssen's strategy to position dara as the future backbone regimen for all lines of therapy in multiple myeloma....
|

11/11 16:06 af Jan Van de Winkel |
in the coming 14 months you may anticipate a broadening of the development program.

In the abstract for the phase I/II Dara-Len-Dex combination study (GEN503) the CR is 25% - is there still a chance to get near 40% CR (as mentioned before) at ASH ?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:08 af Jan Van de Winkel |
This is an abstract based on data which was collected in January this year, so you can expect more mature data in the actual ASH presentation in December.

The Jannsen DuoBody collaboration is impressive. Why Arent you getting new BP deals (you got Novo) on this one? Do you think that the first IND coming soon will give attention to this platform and make it easier for you to make more licensing deals
|
![]() |
11/11 16:09 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We have good traction for our DuoBody Platform and closed three good deals in 2015, first with BioNovion and BioNTech and then with Novo Nordisk....

we are currently having active discussions with multiple parties but as we have communicated before, execution takes time.

Implicitiy has gotten a lot of attention lately. Dara data is stronger of cause, but they have first mover. To you think of Implicitiy as a hard competitor or how confident are you that dara will be the backbone. Some doctors have expressed they would start with giving Elo and then Dara ?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:12 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We are not impressed by the elotuzumab data, with 0 monotherapy activity and only limited potential for combination use (it only seems to work with lenalidomide in lenalidomide naive patients). So a narrower potential target indication.

Jan you have talked about a massive expansion of clinical trials for daratumumab i the comming 14 months - do that include daratumumab in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (PD1 or PD-L1) ?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:14 af Jan Van de Winkel |
This will involve multiple new combination regimens, in line with the stated strategy to position daratumumab as the future backbone regimen in all lines of treatment for multiple myeloma.

And now to Ofatumumab.

How do you see the potential for Ofatumumab in relation to multiple sclerosis?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:16 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We have very impressive data in RRMS with sub cue ofa in Phase 2. Essentially showing prevention of new lesions at low doses of ofa. This bodes well for its potential in the treatment of Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis....

This potential seems to be seen by Novartis given the impressive deal terms for accessing the AI rights from GSK.

Novartis seems to take ofatumumab quite seriously now filing in CLL with the FC combination next year. What about new combinations studies with their own small molecules - anything cooking ?

11/11 16:19 af Jan Van de Winkel |
This year we are establishing the new partnership and we are discussing future development plans with Novartis.

When will we see new agreements with regards to DouBody?
|

11/11 16:20 af Jan Van de Winkel |
It is difficult to predict timing of new agreements, we are confident that we will further expand partnerships with this technology.

Would it be possible to make a CS1/CD38 duobody antibody? Getting the best from both Elotuzumab and daratumumab into one product to treat MM ?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:20 af Jan Van de Winkel |
In theory that is possible, but we believe we have smarter combinations in the making.
|
![]() |
11/11 16:21 af investor1989 |
Kirin research ended? whats next here? no licensing? And also comorant ended and lilly ended and the ADC-Duobody deal ended. It seems to me the only one having succes with Duobody is Jannsen?
|

11/11 16:23 af Jan Van de Winkel |
All the partnerships are different, some of them were highly successful with establishing experience with DuoBody platform but the partner didnt have an appropriate project. In other cases the tested concept may have turned out to be suboptimal for a bispecific approach which was unrelated to the DuoBody technology. Drug development is complex and it is good to have many shots on goal.

HexaBody developments seems really slow. You talked a lot about life cycle management, inlicensing drugs to "Hexa-Boost" etc. etc. when you launched it? are you disappointed?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:25 af Jan Van de Winkel |
No, we are enthusiastic about the HexaBody platform, particularly about products in our own pipeline (10% is currently based on this technology), we will certainly give updates in the future.

Still convinced that the Xencor/Amgen approch with the CD38/CD3 bispecific antibody is a bad idea - even with attenuating the CD3 affinity ? Can you remind me if Genmab or Janssen has the rights to use daratumumab/CD38 antibodies in bespicific antibodies (DuoBody) ?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:27 af Jan Van de Winkel |
It is difficult for us to comment on the Xencor approach as so much depends on the details. We have a panel of CD3 bispecific antibodies directed to various targets in our own innovative cell line, and we look forward to progress them towards the clinic.

Are the interim/futility analysis in the Pollux/Castor phase III trials event driven (PFS) or......? Are the futility and interim effect analysis (for an possible early filling) done at the same time or ? Are there interim/futility analysis in the front line phase III trials (Alcyone, Maia or Cassiopeia)?
|
![]() |
11/11 16:29 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Yes these interims are event driven. The futility interims are completed in these trials, quite some time ago. Several of the phase 3 trials have built in interim analyses.

Any changes to your collaboration with BioNovion after Adoru Biotech acquired them ?

Just to confirm: at the post ASH seminar we will get some insight into your preclinic pipeline and new IND candidates?
