Once upon a time… Conscientious students in Brussels in the late 1980s
Discovery of a new form of immunoglobulin
10
Work on camel antibodies
In the 1980s, several teams tried to miniaturize antibody to get recognition molecules more compact and solid But it is difficult: when we begin to reduce the size of molecules, undermines cohesion between the heavy chain and light chain compounds which are recognition sites. -Too large, complex, weak, difficult to produce in bacteria. -Do not lend themselves to applications in biotechnology -Immune response. Ideally, to have molecules with antibody specificity, but without their complications Work on camel antibodies
11
Let’s go to Morocco… It was still necessary to verify that antibodies have an comparable efficacy than their heavier cousins. So they had to work on life camels. The first camel was stolen so researchers asked for help to Cheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum . The supply of blood serum of camelids was assured and discovery of the properties on “Heavy Ig”
12
Technology Petit rappel sur les anticorps, 2 chaines lourdes = 4 composants, 2 chaines légères = 2 composants, Les 2 parties hypervariables viennent reconnaître l’Ag; en 1993 découverte chez la famille des camilidé la presence Ac qu’avec chaine lourdre, avec ue composante qui permet de fixer l antigène de manièrer très stable, et cette composante consititue les nanobodies = utilisé par ablynx. Histoire sur le chameau
13
Recognising uncommon or hidden epitopes
Nanobodies recognize variable epitopes and recognised conserved epitopes inacessible to conventional Ab’s. En raison de leur petite taille, les Nanobodies peuvent reconnaître des épitopes rares sur les cibles cachées ou à l'abri des anticorps beaucoup plus conventionnels. Cette reconnaissance peut être associée à une activité biologique améliorée par rapport à des anticorps classiques dans les applications telles que la neutralisation du parasite.
14
Cavity binding-enzyme and receptors
Due to their unique 3-dimensional structure, Nanobodies have the potential to access cavities within molecular targets such as enzyme active sites and receptor clefts. These cavity structures are largely inaccessible to conventional antibodies but can be readily recognised by a long and protruding CDR3 loop as found in a number of Nanobodies. Importantly, while enzyme and receptor clefts are also binding sites for many small molecule drugs, these drugs typically engage such targets with a low affinity and low selectivity. This can result in unwanted side-effects and lack of potency. In contrast, Nanobodies have the potential to engage cavity structures with the same high affinity and selectivity as typically protein-protein interactions mediated by conventional antibodies. This is expected to yield highly potent molecules and minimise the likelihood of side-effects. Recepteur couplé au proteines g Because of their small size, Nanobodies are able to go places in the body that may be inaccessible to mAbs. For example, Nanobodies are able to act as inhibitors to enzymes through binding with active sites that are too small for mAbs to access. Another reason that Nanobodies can access enzymes is that the CDR3 loops (complementarity determining region 3, the part of the protein that mimics the antigen’s shape) are more flexible and can penetrate more deeply into binding sites. Because of their small size: -Nanobodies are able to act as inhibitors to enzymes through binding with active sites that are too small for mAbs to access. - Nanobodies can access enzymes is that the CDR3 loops are more flexible and can penetrate more deeply into binding sites.
15
Exceptional drug format
The Nanobody platform allows the ability to design modular drugs based on Nanobody building blocks combined with each other, with other protein domains or with other molecules or drugs. These can combine more than one function in the final drug format. Ablynx has combined Nanobodies in a wide range of formats, including unique multivalent (multiple Nanobodies with identical binding sites for the same antigen), biparatopic (two Nanobodies binding two different epitopes on the same antigen), bispecific (Nanobodies binding to two different antigens) and bi-functional molecules. These formats are easy to construct and the modular proteins can often be expressed at high levels in bacteria or yeast. As a result of this formatting flexibility, the range of therapeutic applications for Nanobodies appears to be beyond that possible for conventional antibodies and antibody fragments. These formats are easy to construct and the modular proteins can often be expressed at high levels in bacteria or yeast. As a result of this formatting flexibility, the range of therapeutic applications for Nanobodies appears to be beyond that possible for conventional antibodies and antibody fragments.
16
Alternative route of administration
Antibodies can only be administered via injection or SC anobodies are more resistant to extremes of pH and temperature and resist attack by proteases to a greater degree than conventional antibodies. Some Nanobodies have been shown to survive the harsh conditions of the stomach and remain biologically active in the gut. This creates opportunities for orally delivered Nanobodies to treat gastrointestinal disorders including Crohn’s disease and neutralization of viruses causing gastro-enteritis. Robust, high solubility, low tendency to aggregate, resistant to heat, pH, protéases Nanobodies can be administered via injection, pulmonary, intranasal, oral and should be administered via transdermal and ocular
17
Tailored Half Life Unmodified Nanobodies have a half-life in serum of a few hours This is ideal for many acute indications but if a longer circulating half-life is required (e.g. for chronic diseases) Nanobodies can be modified to extend their half-life Unmodified Nanobodies have a half-life in serum of a few hours. This is ideal for many acute indications but if a longer circulating half-life is required (e.g. for chronic diseases) then Nanobodies can be modified to extend their half-life using a number of different technologies. Over the past few years we have developed a novel proprietary half-life extension technology called NExpediteTM, to add to our “tool box” of half-life extension technologies, which is based on small (<3kD) peptides specific for human serum albumin. These peptides can be easily fused to Nanobodies and provide another method by which Ablynx can increase the half-life of Nanobodies in serum. NExpedite® = based on small (<3kD) peptides specific for human serum albumin. These peptides can be easily fused to Nanobodies
18
Beyond antibodies and small molecules
19
Production To reduce the risk of immunogenicity, Ablynx routinely humanizes its Nanobodies. This is a straightforward procedure because Nanobodies already display relatively high sequence homology to human heavy chain variable domains, typically between 80% and 90% when comparing the framework regions. To reduce the risk of immunogenicity, Ablynx routinely humanizes its Nanobodies
20
Cheaper, shorter and more resistant
Monoclonal antibodies are produced from mammalian cells Nanobodies are made from micro-organisms (bacteria, yeasts) Nanobodies are robust to changes in temperature and pH Monoclonal antibodies are sensitive and must be used quickly

Phase I results ALX-0141 well tolerated and no serious adverse events
CTX is an abbreviation for urinary or serum collagen type 1 cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX). C-telopeptides cross-links of bone Type I collagen are sensitive markers of bone resorption in osteolytic diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. High levels of CTX and NTX indicate excessive bone turnover and is a sign of osteoporosis. Levels of CXT and NT decrease with bisphosphonates therapy. Very low levels may indicate over-aggressive treatment of osteoporosis with bisphosphonates. Women with high serum CTX (T score greater than 2) have a 25% probability of fracture over 5 years. Women with low BMD and high CTX have 54% probability of fracture over 5 years. For a 90% specificity to predict a positive BMD response (+3%), cut-offs, expressed as a percentage decrease from baseline, are as follows: -Urine NTX and urine CTX, -45% to –65% - Serum CTX, -35% to –55% A change of greater than 30% is significant.

€6.5 million upfront payment and a €2 million fee for research funding
Merck and co October 2012 Develop and commercialize Nanobody candidates against a voltage- gated ion channel, with the option to develop Nanobodies against a second non-disclosed target €6.5 million upfront payment and a €2 million fee for research funding Ablynx : discovery of Nanobody candidates Merck : research, development, manufacturing and commercialisation of any Nanobody product resulting from the collaboration. In October 2012, Ablynx entered into a collaboration with Merck & Co., Inc., through a subsidiary, to develop and commercialise Nanobody candidates directed towards a voltage gated ion channel with the option to develop and commercialise a Nanobody to a second target. Under the terms of the agreement, Merck gains exclusive global rights to Nanobodies against the selected target, with an option for similar rights to a second target. Upon signing, Merck will pay Ablynx a €6.5 million upfront payment and a €2 million fee for research funding. In addition, Ablynx will be eligible to receive up to €448 million in research, regulatory and commercial milestone payments associated with the progress of multiple candidates as well as tiered royalties on any products derived from the collaboration. Ablynx will be responsible for the discovery of Nanobody candidates and Merck will be responsible for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialisation of any Nanobody product resulting from the collaboration.
77
Pfizer November 2006 exclusive research and license agreement announced with Wyeth (acquired by Pfizer in 2009) Pfizer obtained global exclusive rights to develop and commercialise Nanobodies against TNFα November 2011 As reported above, Pfizer demonstrated proof-of-concept for ATN-103, an anti-TNFα Nanobody, in a Phase II study in patients with RA. Ablynx subsequently regained all rights from Pfizer to Nanobodies targeting TNFα, including ATN-103. Ablynx regains worldwide rights from Pfizer to develop and commercialise anti-TNFα Nanobodies
78
Three-pronged approach to balancing risk and reward
Fully Funded + Milestones and Royalties Co-discovery/Co-development Fully Funded + Milestones and Royalties Co-discovery/ Co-development Wholly-owned clinical assets TNFa (ozoralizumab) – Ph II vWF (caplacizumab) – Ph II IL-6R (ALX-0061) – Ph II RANKL (ALX-0141) – Ph II RSV (ALX-0171) – Ph I Wholly-owned clinical assets with large pharmaceutical partners relating to the development of novel Nanobodies. The Company has pursued three different types of collaboration deals. The first is out-licensing of assets to a partner for development, which was the structure of the 2006 deal in which Ablynx partnered with Wyeth for the development of anti-TNFα Nanobodies. The company is seeking to out-license anti- TNFα and anti-RANKL Nanobodies in this fashion. The second type of collaboration is that in which Ablynx agrees to work with a partner for the co-development of certain Nanobody assets starting at the identification of target stage but in which there is a risk and profit sharing mechanism. The well-established partnerships with Merck Serono fit this model. The third type of collaboration Ablynx has pursued also start very early at the target stage but are fully-funded partnerships, which also include milestone payments plus royalties. The Company’s relationships with Novartis and Boehringer Ingelheim fall into the third model. These collaborations have so far yielded a total of 18 clinical development candidates and have provided more than €160 million ($208 million) in revenue for the Company. €160M in non-dilutive cash from collaborators received to date and 18 Nanobody candidates selected
79
Future collaboration ? Ablynx and Spirogen
25 Février 2013 Ablynx and Spirogen collaboration to evaluate the potential of novel toxin-Nanobody drug conjugates in cancer Spirogen's proprietary cytotoxic drugs, pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBD) Nanobodies generated using Ablynx’s proprietary technology platform
