Opening remarks

The fiscal year 2021/2022 of Hamlet Pharma AB has been very successful and important milestones have been reached. The company has consolidated its financial position by raising significant capital, competed successfully for continued funding from the EU Horizon 2020 program, produced drug for clinical trials on a large scale, conducted successful clinical trials, added brain tumor therapy as a new indication for drug development and progressed with the BAMLET drug candidate. 

Financing and leadership

The year started with the successful completion of a funding round through a rights issue that provided the company with approximately 50.4 million SEK, before deductions for issue costs. Hamlet Pharma's rights issue was oversubscribed by 260% for the B units. The company later received approximately SEK 5.8 million for warrants of series TO 3 B.

During the past year Hamlet Pharma received additional financial support from the EIC Accelerator Horizon 2020 fund. The European Union extended the funding after a successful 18-month report. The evaluators concluded that the company had "fully achieved the objectives and milestones for the period" and "remains in line with the objectives". The EU evaluators also noted that these advances were made despite the COVID pandemic, which seriously delayed many companies.

On the 1[st] of June 2022, Martin Erixon joined Hamlet Pharma as CEO. Martin Erixon combines a scientific background with extensive experience from major corporations. The former CEO Mats Persson will stay on as a senior advisor.

Clinical trial program

The clinical study in patients with bladder cancer continues according to plan. Significantly stronger effects were detected with a higher dose in the dose-escalation part of the study. The tumors were strongly affected in patients treated with five times higher amounts of Alpha1H, without an increase in side effects. Extensive molecular evaluation of the tumor response shows very encouraging results for the continued clinical trial program. Experienced consultant organizations are engaged in the discussions with the European and US regulatory authorities (EMA and FDA).

Hamlet Pharma's strategy is to broaden the use of Alpha1H for other cancer indications, where tests in animal models already support therapeutic effects. To explore Alpha1H as brain tumor therapy, a collaboration agreement has been signed with a key opinion leader in the field of neurosurgery, Professor Steven Gill at the university of Bristol. Together with Neurochase Limited, founded by Steven Gill, Hamlet Pharma will develop a novel drug delivery technology and methods to treat tumors in the central nervous system with Alpha1H. The goal is to provide adequate materials and data to prepare for clinical trial applications.

Securing Alpha1H production for clinical studies          

The external manufacturing partnerships for drug production include the synthesis of the Alpha1 peptide, the formulation of drug substance and clinical supply chain. Drug manufacturing has been successfully transferred to a new multinational commercial partner. During the third quarter, a new batch of Alpha1H was produced and shown to be stable and fully active against cancer cells, securing material for the continued clinical studies in patients with bladder cancer, which we regard as our highest priority.

Business development strategy

Hamlet Pharma and its network of pharmaceutical experts have established an interesting model for effective drug development with an emphasis on problem solving and minimizing risk. Hamlet Pharma has effectively delivered on its promises including positive clinical results and a dynamic technology platform. Hamlet Pharma was one of the few companies in the EU Horizon 2020 program to reach the promised milestones despite the Corona pandemic.

We are grateful for all efforts made by the teams in Sweden and Prague, the invaluable assistance from our committed consultants and for continued confidence and support from our shareholders.

Catharina Svanborg and Martin Erixon

Chairperson of the Board and CMO, and CEO, respectively, of Hamlet Pharma AB

The EU evaluators state that: "All required milestones and deliverables to date are without any significant deviations. This is particularly impressive considering the global Corona virus pan- demic. To date, the beneficiary has succeeded in manufacturing the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) Alpha1H. The company has demonstrated non-clinical improvement of therapeutic efficacy of other cancer drugs like Mitomycin C and Epirubicin, when combined with Alpha1H and successfully continued with the Phase I/II study of Alpha1H in bladder cancer patients. There is evidence of good financial management in this project. The number of financial re- sources utilized to date is proportionate to the achievements of the project to date".

Hamlet Pharma AB

Hamlet Pharma's shares are traded on Spotlight Stock Market. Hamlet Pharma is a subsidiary company of Linnane Pharma AB, which owns 49.33% of the capital and 83.27% of the votes of Hamlet Pharma AB and part of a group also comprising SelectImmune Pharma. Linnane Pharma is wholly owned by Catharina Svanborg, Chairman of Hamlet Pharma. Hamlet Pharma is engaged in the development of a new family of drugs, based on the tumoricidal protein-lipid complex, HAMLET, formed by two Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) molecules present in human milk. The therapeutic entity HAMLET is formed when alpha-lactalbumin (the primary protein component of human milk) undergoes a conformational change and binds to oleic acid. HAMLET selects and removes tumor cells efficiently and has shown therapeutic efficacy on skin papillomas in a placebo-controlled clinical trial and induction of cancer cells shedding after injection into the bladder of patients with bladder cancer.

The company goal is to develop drugs for use in the treatment and prevention of cancers; initially bladder cancer, a severe and costly disease. Drug development for bladder cancer has focused on Alpha1H, which is a synthetic variant of HAMLET, comprising the N-terminal peptide alpha1 bound to oleic acid. Alpha1H kills different types of tumor cells and has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in bladder cancer models. Hamlet Pharma has completed the Phase I/II part of a clinical trial with Alpha1H, which showed no drug-related side effects, indicating that the treatment is safe and well tolerated. Alpha1H demonstrated significant clinical efficacy compared with patients who received placebo. The company has expanded the study program to include a dose-escalation and a combination study arm.

An extensive patent portfolio protects Alpha1H with granted patents in both Europe, Asia, and the US. The company's drug development program is based on access to R&D expertise regulated by a collaboration agreement with Lund University. To extend the access to necessary competence, IP rights, know-how and technology, Hamlet Pharma has entered into an agreement with Linnane Pharma and the technology platformed developed by the scientists.

The scientists have also identified and patented the active HAMLET analogue BAMLET, which is a molecular complex formed by bovine alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid. Patent rights reside with HAMLET Pharma and steps are now taken to develop BAMLET as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent, primarily against cancers in the gastro-intestinal tract.

The team at Lund University is also responsible for the development of manufacturing methods, stability testing and chemical and functional characterization of existing and new drug substances and plays a key role in the coordination of laboratory testing in the clinical trial. Costs were also related to manufacturing of the Alpha1H drug candidate, for use in ongoing and forthcoming clinical trials.
