BERGEN, Norway, August 23, 2022 - BerGenBio ASA (OSE: BGBIO), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase inhibitors for
severe unmet medical needs, today announced financial results for the second
quarter and half year ended June 30, 2022 and provided a business update.

“The prioritization of bemcentinib development in two key areas in the second
quarter has created momentum entering the second half of the year,” said Martin
Olin, Chief Executive Officer of BerGenBio. “By following strong scientific
rationale, clinical and preclinical data, and areas of significant unmet medical
need, we are confidently enthusiastic about bemcentinib’s potential in aiding
patients in two indications of focus: STK11 mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
and patients hospitalized by COVID-19. The initiation of the next phase of
clinical development for both indications in 2H22 moves us a meaningful step
closer to addressing two large patient populations that are in need of better
treatments.”

Clinical Development

Bemcentinib

BerGenBio’s lead compound, bemcentinib, is a potent, first-in-class, oral, small
molecule, highly selective inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL, which
is overexpressed in response to cellular stress, inflammation, hypoxia and
chemotherapy. Bemcentinib inhibits the host cells’ ability to propagate the
progression of serious disease through the modulation of resistance mechanisms
and the adaptive immune system.

The Company is advancing bemcentinib development in two lung indications, STK11
mutated (STK11m) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Hospitalized COVID-19
patients, where bemcentinib’s novel mechanisms of action and primary
accumulation in the lungs make it uniquely positioned to address severe lung
diseases.

First-Line STK11m NSCLC

BerGenBio is preparing a Phase 1b/2a trial of bemcentinib in 1L STK11m NSCLC, a
group that represents approximately 20% of NSCLC patients. Mutations in the
STK11 gene are highly correlated with poor treatment response and survival with
today’s standard of care treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitors in
NSCLC. Through inhibition of AXL, bemcentinib seeks to prevent AXL activation,
consequently removing the innate immunosuppression that it causes and driving
the proliferation of immune cells to restore sensitivity to immune checkpoint
therapy. UT Southwestern Medical Center in Texas has shown that bemcentinib in
models of NSCLC has the ability to restore the sensitivity of checkpoint
inhibitors. Further bemcentinib is also believed to delay the development of
chemoresistance.

· The detrimental effect of mutations in the STK11 gene on clinical outcomes
was further highlighted by several academic groups at the American Society of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in June 2022. In a retrospective study funded
by Roche, Spain (Abstract #9047), of real-world outcomes in 1L NSCLC patients,
STK11m was identified as having the poorest prognosis in all effectiveness
outcomes, including lower response, progression free survival and overall
survival, of 185 detected mutations.

· The Company is preparing and has post period filed an IND with the purpose
to initiate a Phase 1b/2a trial evaluating bemcentinib in combination with a
checkpoint inhibitor and doublet chemotherapy in 1L STK11m NSCLC patients in the
second half of 2022.

· In parallel with the preparation of the Phase 1b/2a trial, the Company is
evaluating the role of STK11 mutations in combination with other relevant co
-mutations such as TP53, KRAS and KEAP1 to further characterize the potential of
bemcentinib is this area of high unmet medical need.

Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

Bemcentinib is currently being studied in a Phase 2b clinical trial in
hospitalized COVID-19 patients. AXL, when induced by an infection, such as COVID
-19, is known to play a variety of key roles in transporting the virus into
cells, aiding replication, and dampening immune responses. Bemcentinib
selectively inhibits AXL to block viral entry, stimulate the innate immune
system and facilitate tissue repair regardless of known variants or mutations.

· In the ACCORD2 UK platform study of hospitalized COVID-19 patients,
bemcentinib treatment resulted in a clear reduction in clinical deterioration,
causing: a significant reduction in deaths, patients requiring less
supplementary oxygen, a significant reduction in the need for intubation or
ventilation and a shortening of hospital stays compared to the control group.

· Bemcentinib has been selected by an expert group to be studied in a Phase 2b
trial under the EU-SolidAct platform through a sub-protocol enrolling 500
hospitalized COVID-19 patients across Europe.

Mipasetamab Uzoptirine

Post period, ADC Therapeutics announced that the first patient was dosed in a
Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating mipasetamab uzoptirine as a single agent and
in combination with gemcitabine in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.
Mipasetamab uzoptirine contains an AXL-targeting humanized monoclonal antibody
licensed from BerGenBio.

BerGenBio strengthened its leadership team in April 2022 with the addition of
Cristina Oliva, M.D., as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Oliva is a Board-certified
oncologist with over 20 years of senior clinical development experience across
large pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CROs, including her most recent position

BERGENBIO ANNOUCES FIRST PATIENT RANDOMIZED IN BEMCENTINIB TRIAL IN EU-SOLIDACT PLATFORM FOR HOSPITALIZED COVID-19 PATIENTS

BERGEN, Norway, September 27, 2022 - BerGenBio ASA (OSE: BGBIO), a clinical
-stage biopharma-ceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase
inhibitors for severe unmet medical needs, and Oslo University Hospital
…

Vis børsmeldingen

announced today that the first patient has been included in a study of
BerGenBio’s oral, highly selective AXL inhibitor, bemcentinib, as part of the EU
-SolidAct trial in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

The EU-SolidAct trial (European DisCoVeRy for Solidarity: An Adaptive Pandemic
and Emerging Infection Platform Trial) is part of EU-RESPONSE, a pan-European
research project designed to investigate treatment options for hospitalized
patients with COVID-19 and emerging infectious diseases.

Bemcentinib was selected by an international group of experts to be studied in
the EU-SolidAct platform in up to 500 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in a Phase
2b, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Martin Olin, Chief Executive Officer of BerGenBio, commented: “COVID-19
infections and hospital admissions continues to evolve with new variants and the
expected fall/winter season impact. There is a need to identify new effective
therapies for hospitalized patients and bemcentinib represents a promising
treatment modality for this patient population through its unique mechanism of
action, blocking viral entry, stimulating the innate immune system and promoting
lung tissue repair. Importantly, bemcentinib enhances the Type I interferon
response, causing these cytokines to activate immune cells to fight the
infection regardless of spike protein or mutation. Based on the results of our
Phase 2a studies and learnings throughout the pandemic, we are eager to further
study the effectiveness of bemcentinib in COVID-19 and are delighted to now have
randomized the first patient in the EU-SolidAct platform.”

The EU-SolidAct platform trial includes 68 clinical sites in 8 countries and is
sponsored by Oslo University Hospital, Norway, in collaboration with the
Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale (Inserm), France, and
the not-for-profit intergovernmental organization European Clinical Research
Infrastructure Network (ECRIN).

Professor Marius Trøseid, Oslo University Hospital, Chief Investigator of the EU
-SolidAct trial, commented: “As new subvariants continue to evolve, it is
critical to have greater treatment options in order to reduce hospital stays and
halt disease progression. We’re pleased to be partnering with BerGenBio in the
initiation of this trial, as we look to enroll up to 500 hospitalized COVID-19
patients.”

COVID-19 patients -

Initiated Phase 1b/2a trial in 1st line NSCLC patients harboring STK11
mutations -

Strengthened financial position with support from largest shareholder -

BERGEN, Norway, November 15, 2022 - BerGenBio ASA (OSE: BGBIO), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase inhibitors for
severe unmet medical needs, today announced financial results for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a business update.

“The recent initiation of two clinical trials and bolstering of our cash
position has been transformational for the Company as we continue to execute on
our strategy,” said Martin Olin, Chief Executive Officer of BerGenBio. "Mounting
evidence substantiates that AXL plays a significant role in exacerbating many
severe cancers and respiratory diseases. We believe that AXL inhibition by our
lead compound, bemcentinib, can make a life-changing difference in patients
suffering from STK11m NSCLC and hospitalized COVID-19.

Clinical Development

Bemcentinib

BerGenBio’s lead compound, bemcentinib, is a potentially first-in-class highly
selective inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL, which is activated in
response to oxidative stress, inflammation, hypoxia and drug treatment,
resulting in a number of deleterious effects in cancer and severe respiratory
diseases. Bemcentinib inhibits AXL activation to prevent the progression of
serious disease through the modulation of resistance mechanisms and the adaptive
immune system.

The Company is advancing bemcentinib development in two lung indications, STK11
mutated (STK11m) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Hospitalized COVID-19
patients, where bemcentinib’s novel mechanisms of action and primary
accumulation in the lungs make it uniquely positioned to address severe lung
diseases.

First-Line STK11m NSCLC

Subsequent to the quarter end, BerGenBio announced in October the initiation of
a Phase 1b/2a trial evaluating bemcentinib in combination with the current
standard of care, the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab and platinum doublet
chemotherapy, for the treatment of 1L NSCLC patients harboring STK11 mutations.

Approximately 20% of non-squamous NSCLC patients harbor STK11m, which are a
recognized resistance mechanism for anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and currently result in
a poor prognosis with standard of care treatment in 1st line NSCLC. The Company
believes that STK11m patients almost universally express AXL, causing a severely
immunosuppressed tumor microenvironment, the development of drug resistance,
immune evasion, and metastasis. Preclinical and clinical data suggest that
bemcentinib’s inhibition of AXL on immune and cancer cells sensitizes STK11m
NSCLC patients to checkpoint inhibitors and improves the effects of
chemotherapy.

The global, open-label Phase 1b/2a trial is designed to determine the safety,
tolerability and efficacy of bemcentinib with standard of care in 1st line
untreated advanced/metastatic non-squamous NSCLC patients with STK11 mutations
and no other actionable co-mutations. The first patient is expected to begin
treatment in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

BerGenBio announced in September that the first patient was randomized in a
Phase 2b trial evaluating bemcentinib in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The
trial is part of the EU-SolidAct platform, a pan-European research project
designed to investigate treatment options for hospitalized patients with COVID
-19 and emerging infectious diseases.

Higher levels of AXL expression and activation caused by COVID-19 infection have
been linked to an increase in disease severity. The interaction of AXL and SARS
-CoV-2 is believed to promote the entry and enhancement of infection in
pulmonary and bronchial epithelial cells. Through the inhibition of AXL,
bemcentinib blocks viral entry, stimulates the innate immune system and promotes
lung tissue repair.

The Phase 2b, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled trial will enroll up
to 500 patients, includes 68 clinical sites in 8 countries and is sponsored by
Oslo University Hospital, Norway, in collaboration with the Institut National de
la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale (Inserm), France, and the not-for-profit
intergovernmental organization European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network
(ECRIN).

Update on Relapsed/Recurrent AML (BGBC003) and 2L NSCLC (BGBC008) studies

In study BGBC003 of Relapsed/Recurrent AML patients, the last patient completed
their last visit in late Q2, with database lock completed in Q3. In study

BerGenBio ASA: Grant of share options

Bergen, Norway, 21 November 2022 - BerGenBio ASA (the “Company”) (OSE:BGBIO), a
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase
inhibitors for severe unmet medical needs, today announce that the Board of
…

Vis børsmeldingen

Directors has granted options to employees.

The annual general meeting in the Company 28 April 2022 approved the share
option program and authorised the board of directors of the Company to issue
shares to the Company’s employees as part of a long-term incentive plan and
share option program.

Options granted under the share option program will vest equally over a three
-year vesting period following the grant and each option, when exercised, will
give the right for each option to acquire one share in the Company at a fixed
strike price. Options granted under the share option program expire eight years
after grant date.

A total of 2,114,230 share options, equal to 2.38% of total shares issued in the
Company, were granted at strike price at NOK 7.59 per option, constituting the
volume weighted average share price over the last two weeks before the grant.

The board considers an option program as an important element in attracting and
retaining employees to foster long-term success. The board considers the option
program terms and allocation to be at the market for comparable peers.

Due to changes in Executive Management over the last two years, this grant is
above the average annual grant which has been 1.87% over the last five years.
After this grant the total issued options is 4.92% of the total issued shares in
the Company, below the average level over the last five years of 5.93%.

Of the total grant the following were granted to primary insiders (total
holdings of share options following this grant):

Martin Olin - CEO: 950,000 (950,000)

Rune Skeie - CFO: 100,000 (397,097)

James Barnes - COO: 110,000 (411,522)

Cristina Oliva - CMO: 200,000 (200,000)

Nigel McCracken - CSO: 275,000 (275,000)

In total 1,635,000 share options were granted to primary insiders.

Following this grant a total of 4,358,505 share options are issued, equal to
4.92% of the total shares issued in the Company. Of this, 1,753,726 share
options are vested and 2,604,779 not vested.

BerGenBio Announces the Establishment of Oncology Scientific Advisory Board

Distinguished global experts appointed to strengthen bemcentinib development
in STK11m NSCLC -

…

Vis børsmeldingen

BERGEN, Norway, February 2, 2023 - BerGenBio ASA (OSE: BGBIO), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase inhibitors for
severe unmet medical needs, today announced the formation of a scientific
advisory board consisting of four world-renowned non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) experts from top oncology centers around the globe to enhance the
development of bemcentinib for the treatment of NSCLC patients with STK11
mutations (STK11m).

“We are very proud and honored to have assembled a group of leading
international NSCLC experts to guide us as we investigate bemcentinib in 1st
line NSCLC STK11m in combination with today’s standard of care,” said Cristina
Oliva, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of BerGenBio. “Their expertise will play an
integral role in our evaluation of bemcentinib and its potential to provide
significant benefits to patients who today face a particularly poor prognosis.”

Despite significant advances in immuno-oncology treatments, NSCLC is still one
of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Patients harboring
STK11m, which represent approximately ~20% of non-squamous NSCLC cases, almost
universally demonstrate high levels of AXL activation and show lower response
rates to current standard of care therapy of anti-PD-1/L1 combined with
chemotherapy. BerGenBio’s lead compound, bemcentinib, is designed to selectively
inhibit AXL, which may potentially sensitize STK11m NSCLC patients to checkpoint
inhibitors and improve the effects of chemotherapy. The Company has initiated a
global Phase 1a/2b trial to assess bemcentinib with standard of care in 1st line
NSCLC patients with STK11m.

Members of the BerGenBio NSCLC Scientific Advisory Board:

Enriqueta Felip, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Enriqueta Felip is the Head of the Thoracic Cancer Unit at Vall d’Hebron
University Hospital, Spain, where she is responsible for thoracic malignancy

(SLCG) and a Professor of Medicine at the Universitat de Vic. Previously, Dr.
Felip was on the Board of Directors of the International Association for the
Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). She received her M.D. and Ph.D. from Autonomous
University of Barcelona.

John Heymach, M.D., Ph.D.

MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas, and holds the David Bruton Endowed Chair in
Cancer Research. Dr. Heymach is a co-leader of the MD Anderson Lung Cancer Moon
Shot, in addition to serving as a Principal Investigator of lung cancer programs
funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), LUNGevity and American
Association for Cancer Research (AACR), and earning several prestigious awards
for excellence in basic science, translational research and mentoring. He

Hva er egentlig dette godt for? Noen som kan spisse det litt?

Roc · februar 2, 2023, 7:12am

Dette er veldig vanlig å ha. Er snakk om et panel med eksperter (klinikere/forskere) som man kan søke råd hos og som er med på å gi innspill på strategi og utviklingen i forhold til deres kliniske hverdag. Spesielt gjelder dette det kliniske programmet.

Jeg antok at BGBIO hadde etablert et SAB for lenge siden de tross alt er i klinisk fase med flere indikasjoner og at selskapet hadde rådgivere for de ulike indikasjonene.
