Context Therapeutics — R&D webinar highlights pipeline potential

Context Therapeutics’ R&D webinar covered key takeaways from its five posters presented at the AACR Annual Meeting in April 2022. While the results reiterated the potential benefits of ONA-XR with standard-of-care treatment, the notable highlight was the possible combination with checkpoint inhibitors (turning ‘immunologically cold tumors hot’) and the Aurora A/STAT3 oncogenic signaling pathway (implicated in resistance to endocrine treatment) for treatment of hormone-driven cancers. Beyond ONA-XR, preclinical data presented on the CLDN6xCD3 library reasserted the higher selectivity of Context’s pipeline for CLDN6 (versus competitors), with the final clinical candidate expected to be selected by H222.

Business description

Context Therapeutics is a clinical-stage women’s oncology company. Lead candidate ONA-XR is a ‘full’ progesterone receptor antagonist currently being evaluated in three Phase II clinical trials in hormone-driven breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer. Preliminary data from at least one trial are expected in mid-2022. The other asset is a bi-specific monoclonal antibody, CLDN6xCD3, currently undergoing preclinical development.

Potential combinations widen ONA-XR’s playing field

The overriding theme of the three posters presented on ONA-XR was the drug’s potential therapeutic efficacy and utility as a combination therapy in hormone-driven cancers, either with the current standard of care (SoC), or with other therapies such as the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3/interleukin-6 (STAT3/IL-6) inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors. While the newly presented data reaffirmed ONA-XR’s potential benefit as a triplicate treatment in progesterone receptor (PR) positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) (along with current SoC endocrine treatments and CDK4/6 inhibitors), early data suggesting possible combination with other therapeutic classes present encouraging signals for ONA-XR’s prospects. Combination with checkpoint inhibitors, in particular, appears interesting, given their lack of success in hormone-driven tumors such as breast cancer, as a result of these tumors being immunologically unresponsive or ‘cold’. Preclinical data presented by Context suggest that anti-progestins such as ONA-XR can modify the tumor microenvironment to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies. Positive development here could significantly expand ONA-XR’s market potential.

CLDN6xCD3 candidate nearing finalization

The R&D webinar also highlighted the higher specificity of Context’s claudin 6 candidates over the clinical benchmark. The company indicated that partner Integral Molecular has tested a panel of 54 CLDN6xCD3 combinations, of which 12 candidates were shortlisted for further testing. Management expects the final clinical candidate to be selected by H222, to support IND-enabling studies.

Valuation: Maintained at $134.1m or $8.40/share

Our valuation remains unchanged following the AACR presentations and R&D webinar. While it is too early to accurately ascribe a value based on the presented preclinical data, we highlight the upside potential on clinical progress.

Harnessing ONA-XR as potential combination therapy

Three of the five posters presented by Context at the AACR Annual Meeting focused on the potential application of onapristone extended-release (ONA-XR) as a combination treatment (for hormone-driven cancers), with a range of therapeutic classes including the current SoC as well as novel therapeutics targeting this space. One of the preclinical studies (and the one we believe to have most bearing on ONA-XR’s current clinical plans) was conducted Dr Elisabetta Marangoni at the Institut Curie, Paris. The study assessed the efficacy of ONA-XR in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of progesterone receptor positive (PR+) breast cancer which has metastasized to the bones. The preclinical study assessed two PDX models, one with low-level PR expression (BC1101) and one with high PR expression (BC1117). As expected, the study concluded that the tumor with a high level of PR expression responded better to onapristone. However, the more important observation was that while onapristone as monotherapy demonstrated only a weak therapeutic effect on the high PR-expressing tumor, a combination (triplicate) treatment alongside anti-estrogens/endocrine therapies (fulvestrant) and cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6, palbociclib) or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K, alpelisib) inhibitors amplified the efficacy of the current SoC, resulting in complete and sustained tumor regression for the study duration (Exhibit 1).

While these data support ONA-XR’s current development programs evaluating the drug as a combination treatment with SoC in PR-expressing mBC and gynecological cancers, the possibility of discovering other mechanisms of action with different therapeutic classes is encouraging about the future potential for ONA-XR. One of the other possible combinations was explored by Dr Tony B D’Assoro at the Mayo Clinic in a preclinical tumor xenograft study assessing the therapeutic efficacy of the Aurora A kinase inhibitor alisertib in combination with anti-progestins in endocrine-resistant hormone receptor positive (HR+) mBC. Activation of the Aurora A/STAT3/IL-6 signaling pathway is believed to induce resistance to endocrine treatment in breast cancer. The study concluded that the dual pharmacologic targeting of Aurora A and PR signaling pathways is additive/synergistic in HR+ breast cancer resistant to the SoC (Exhibit 2). Context has indicated the possibility of exploring this mechanism of action in a separate clinical trial, although this could come with additional regulatory complexity given that alisertib is currently unapproved for any indication. We note that alisertib is currently being evaluated as a monotherapy/combination therapy with fulvestrant in endocrine resistant breast cancer (Phase II). The study is sponsored by the Mayo Clinic and is being conducted in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute.

The final poster presentation on ONA-XR explored the results from a preclinical study conducted by Lauryn Werner at the University of Kansas Cancer Center. The preclinical study (in vivo study, mice model) evaluated the role played by progesterone (which signals through the PR) in making PR+ breast cancers immunologically ‘cold’, resulting in poor tumor response to immune-based therapies. Immune-resistant tumors tend to have low numbers of effector T-cells and a high number of suppressive immune cells such as regulatory T-cells. The hypothesis was that if progesterone mediates immune resistance in these tumors, suppression of the PR using anti-progestins (such as ONA-XR) should in turn enhance the response of these cancers to immunotherapies. The study data indicated that while treatment with anti-progestins inhibited the growth of PR+ tumors, it also materially reduced the number of regulatory T-cells (Exhibit 3), implying an improved microenvironment conducive to immunotherapy-based treatments such as checkpoint inhibitors. Although very early in its development journey, further progress in combining ONA-XR with immunotherapy treatments could significantly expand the drug’s market potential.

CLDN6xCD3 nearing final candidate selection

The remining two posters at the AACR focused on Context’s second asset, the bispecific antibody CLDN6xCD3 library. The company had highlighted the therapeutic benefits of targeting CLDN6 (expressed on a variety of malignant tumor cells but rarely in healthy tissue) earlier but noted that progress has been stymied by the lack of selectivity of the candidates under development. Context claims that the candidates under consideration have more than 10x selectivity over competing therapies and demonstrated preclinical data from two potential candidates (versus the existing benchmark) as early proof of CLDN6 specificity (Exhibit 4).

The company also disclosed that it has completed in vitro characterization of a panel of 54 CLDN6x CD3 bispecific antibody candidates, of which 12 have been shortlisted for further development and scale-up. The final clinical candidate is expected to be chosen by H222, followed by IND-enabling studies.

Valuation

Our investment case remains unchanged given the very early-stage nature of the data presented at AACR, but we see potential for uplift as further progress is made in clinical development. Please refer to our prior note for a review on our financial assumptions.
