FDA Approves GSK's Shingles Vaccine with Agenus' ( AGEN) QS-21 Stimulon® Adjuvant
- SHINGRIX containing QS-21 Stimulon® demonstrates remarkable efficacy of greater than 90% in pooled studies against shingles
- Shingles is a major public health issue in the US, impacting as many as 1 in 3 adults over the age of 50 years
LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ: AGEN), an immuno-oncology company with a pipeline of immune checkpoint antibodies and cancer vaccines, announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted marketing authorization to GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) herpes zoster vaccine, SHINGRIX, containing Agenus' proprietary immune adjuvant QS-21 Stimulon®. SHINGRIX is indicated for prevention of herpes zoster (also known as shingles) in adults aged 50 years and older. The addition of QS-21 Stimulon helps improve the vaccine's effectiveness by boosting immune response in older adults who often experience age-related decline in immunity.
Shingles is a major public health issue in the US, impacting as many as 1 in 3 older adults over the age of 50 years. Shingles is caused by a virus called varicella zoster, which is also known as the chicken pox virus. Nearly all older adults have the varicella zoster virus dormant in their nervous system waiting to reactivate with advancing age and weakened immune systems.
QS-21 Stimulon is an immune-potent adjuvant designed to boost the immune system by helping the body generate antibodies and T cells that guard against infection. The addition of QS-21 Stimulon to the SHINGRIX vaccine enhances the immune response in these older adults.
"We are delighted by the remarkable efficacy of SHINGRIX, containing our proprietary QS-21 Stimulon adjuvant and the public health benefit; this FDA approval marks a significant milestone for Agenus," said Garo Armen, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO, Agenus. "The addition of QS-21 Stimulon enhances the immunogenicity of SHINGRIX and is beneficial in an older adult population who often experience a decline in immunity. Beyond shingles, our QS-21 Stimulon is under investigation in numerous vaccines and is a critical component of our neoantigen vaccine formulation, which is currently advancing in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with cancer."
The FDA approval of SHINGRIX was based on data pooled from two pivotal Phase III clinical trials in more than 37,000 people, which demonstrated an efficacy rate against shingles greater than 90% independent of age, as well as a sustained efficacy over the four-year follow-up period. SHINGRIX also reduced the overall incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the most common and oftentimes debilitating chronic nerve pain associated with shingles. The benefit of SHINGRIX in the prevention of PHN can be attributed to the effect of the vaccine on the prevention of shingles. The most common side effects reported in clinical trials of SHINGRIX were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, the majority of which were transient and mild to moderate in intensity, lasting less than three days.
The addition of QS-21 Stimulon is being studied to determine its potential to help a diverse range of vaccines work more effectively to treat or cure difficult-to-treat diseases, like cancer. QS-21 Stimulon is currently being used in combination with Agenus' neoantigen vaccine, AutoSynVax™, now in a Phase 1 clinical trial in cancer.
QS-21 Stimulon is also currently being evaluated in numerous GSK vaccine development candidates for both therapeutic and prophylactic applications.

Agenus creates New Cell Therapy subsidiary named AgenTus TherapeuticsBruno Lucidi, previously of Idenix, Pharmasset and BMS named AgenTus CEO
LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 23, 2017 / PRNewswire/ -- Agenus Inc. (NASDAQ: AGEN), an immuno-oncology (I-O) company with a pipeline of immune checkpoint antibodies and cancer vaccines, today announced the launch of a subsidiary company for its cell therapy business, AgenTus Therapeutics, Inc. The subsidiary is focused on realizing significant value for both companies, enhancing business focus, speed, and efficiency toward the realization of breakthrough I-O "living drugs" to advance cures for patients with cancer.
AgenTus will have licensed intellectual property assets from Agenus, its own management team and governance. Bruno Lucidi has been appointed as CEO of the AgenTus subsidiary. Lucidi brings more than 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and financial industries with an impressive track record of building businesses and introducing innovative products into therapeutic markets.
"AgenTus will operate with remarkable science, innovation, and access to Agenus capabilities and expertise, all giving the subsidiary competitive advantage through the delivery of innovative living drugs to cancer patients looking for cures," said Garo Armen, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO, Agenus.
AgenTus will employ naturally-derived and engineered receptors, specifically T Cell Receptors (TCRs) and Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CARs), designed to supercharge human immune effector cells to seek and destroy cancer. AgenTus will advance adoptive cell therapy formats which would enable off-the-shelf living drugs. Current pipeline assets will be designed for potential utility both as single agents and as components of combination regimens in both solid tumors and hematological cancers. AgenTus is advancing lead programs through preclinical evaluation.
AgenTus will collaborate with Agenus to leverage the proprietary technologies, pipeline, and expertise of parent company Agenus. World-class scientists at AgenTus will have access to discovery platforms capable of identifying and optimally engineering novel TCRs and CARs through a multifunctional approach, including bioinformatics, structural and computational biology, molecular and cell biology, and proprietary, best-in-class cellular display platforms.
Living Drugs
Living drugs are derived through a process called Adoptive Cell Therapy (ACT) by which a cancer patient's immune cells are removed, reengineered, and then reintroduced back into the body to bolster the immune system against cancer.
"AgenTus seeks to develop first in class adoptive cell therapies utilizing its proprietary TCRs to treat cancer," said Bruno, Lucidi, CEO, AgenTus Therapeutics. "We understand the mechanisms of our cell therapies in great molecular and biochemical detail, thanks to the outstanding scientific work by our Agenus colleagues to date. We expect our differentiated approach to have key competitive advantages."
The company intends to utilize both autologous and allogeneic manufacturing processes at different stages of development. "The goal of our technology is to ultimately enable AgenTus to develop living drugs in practical, off-the-shelf cell formats," continued Lucidi. "These living drugs are designed to be scalable, straightforward to administer, and are expected to target both solid tumors and cancers of the blood."
