ONM-100 Addresses Unmet Need for Real-Time Cancer Resection Imaging
ON IMAGING PLATFORM
- Currently, surgeons rely on relatively imprecise imaging results conducted prior to surgery to identify the general location, scope of tumor, and lymph node invasion
- In the OR, surgeons typically rely on use of cameras, visual inspection and palpation to identify tumors, and the margin between tumor and normal tissue
- Literature and our clinical experience indicate that the current standard of care for tumor resection can result in positive margins and satellite tumors left behind
- ONM-100 provides surgeons with real-time, sharp visualization of tumors improving surgical outcomes
ONM-100 Clinical Success Demonstrates Precision of Micelle Technology
Key Clinical Findings:
- Very well tolerated, no product related SAEs

ONM-400: Tumor-Specific Delivery of IL-2
OMN-400 addresses shortcomings of other IL-2 product candidates:
- Highly specific tumor delivery
- High loading capacity, instantaneous IL-2 release leads to high tumor accumulation
- Effective payload “shielding” from normal tissues, avoids systemic exposure and IL-2 toxicity
- Low tumor concentrations achieved with WT IL-2 led to use of muteins to minimize Treg regulation
- ONM-400 provides high tumor concentrations resulting in preferential activation of T effectors over Tregs eliminating the need for muteins
- ONM-400 avoids off target binding to normal tissues eliminating need for mutein forms
- ONM-400 optimizes delivery of a commercially validated rhIL-2, reducing clinical risk
ONM-400 Delivery Enables Favorable PK and Targeted Tumor Delivery
- Distinctly different accumulation pattern for ONM-400 versus free IL-2
- ONM-400: Strong preferential accumulation in tumors over other tissues/organs
- Free IL-2: Predominantly accumulates in kidney and bladder
- Persistent tumor accumulation @ 24 hr timepoint
- ONM-400 accumulation in tumor is still seen at 24 hrs, while free IL-2 has cleared
- Significant extension of plasma half-life
- – ONM-400 t1/2 >12 h vs. free IL-2 t1/2 <0.5 h
ONM-400 Preliminary Preclinical Data
- ONM-400 shows higher response rate with more complete tumor regression vs. IL-2 alone at the same dose
- ONM400 in a preliminary study as a single agent, shows greater single agent survival benefit vs. competitors
- ONM-400: 60% of animals were tumor free at 36 days vs. 0% for IL-2
- NKTR-142 (Nektar) in vivo preclinical data indicates limited single agent efficacy
- THOR-701 (Synthorx) in vivo preclinical data indicates virtually no single agent efficacy
Application to Small Molecules: ON-BOARD™ Improves the Therapeutic Index of MCT-1 Inhibitor
- MCT-1 Inhibitor held promise as an effective broadly applicable cancer therapy; however, toxicities in Ph 1 led to its being dropped
- ON-BOARD™ micelle encapsulation significantly improves therapeutic index of MCT-1 Inhibitor alone
ON-BOARDTM/MCT-1 Inhibitor Demonstrates Efficacy, Anti-PD-1 Synergy and Improved Safety
OMNI™ Delivers Payload Selectively to Lymph Nodes Following Subcutaneous Injection
OMNI

CKD Overview
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- 30 million people or approximately 15% of the U.S. Adults have CKD. (CDC 2017)
- Almost one out of every 7 adults 30-64 years of age is expected to develop CKD during their lifetime
- While dialysis-dependent CKD accounts for only 0.5% of the U.S. population, fee-for-service expenditures for Medicare beneficiaries with dialysis-dependent CKD exceeded 30 billion dollars in 2013, or over 7% of the Medicare paid claims cost
- Escalation in healthcare expenditures associated with CKD starts prior to the requirement for dialysis and treatment cost escalate as non-dialysis dependent CKD progresses
- CKD is a significant unmet medical need, and the financial burden has reached insurmountable proportions for patients and the U.S. healthcare system. In 2018, Medicare costs $119 billion, and similar public cost burdens likely exist in the EU and Asia.
Facts about
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)
- A respiratory tract infection caused by a virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)
- First discovered in 2019, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020
- Within the first 4 months of 2020, over 3 million people were infected worldwide and over 230,000 died from COVID-19
- Almost a year later, there are more than 103 million cases worldwide and over 2.2 million deaths.
- Spread through respiratory droplets via person-to-person contact or touching a surface on which infected droplets have landed
- Symptoms may not be present up to 14 days after infection, increasing the risk of unintended transmission
- An enveloped virus similar to other coronaviruses like SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS); this envelope helps the virus enter cells and protects the virus from destruction
- Once inside the cell, the virus takes over the host cell machinery and multiplies, leading to increased viral load and spreading of the virus to other parts of the body
- Causes heart and kidney injury, which are associated with COVID-19-related mortality; acute kidney injury has been reported in ~15% of hospitalized patients; cardiovascular complications have been reported in ~20% of hospitalized patients
- Individuals at high risk for disease progression are those who are >60 years of age; have underlying health problems such as lung disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetes, obesity, malignancy; or are taking immunosuppressants
Product Pipeline
RBT-1: Iron Sucrose (FeS) and
Stannus Protoporphyrin (SnPP)
RBT-1 is a newly developed combination product designed to induce preconditioning of the kidney, upregulating production of protective proteins to prevent AKI during cardiac surgery.
Preclinical: Complete. Conditioning Rx protects against AKI, hepatic injury,and cardiac injury in response to AKI in animal models. Plasma and urine HO-1 assay serves as a bioassay of gene induction.
Phase I is nearly complete. Early data is encouraging.
RBT-2: Optimized Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane
RBT-2 (optimized tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane) is an active metabolite of a widely known antioxidant that reduces CKD progression by restoring cellular homeostasis and reducing inflammation and fibrosis development. Protective effects of RBT-2 have also been observed in the heart. RBT-2 is effective in different types of CKD, including diabetes mediated CKD and sub-total nephrectomy.
RBT-3: Iron
Sucrose (FeS)
RBT-3 is being developed to treat iron deficiency anemia. RBT-3 rapidly increases plasma ferritin without inducing nephrotoxicity or cardiotoxicty. Phase II development with RBT-3 is expected to begin in 1H, 2020.
RBT-9: Treatment of
Enveloped Viruses
Rénibus Therapeutics is developing a novel antiviral therapy RBT-9 (Stannous protoporphyrin [SnPP]) for the treatment of COVID-19 at the early stage (Stage I) of infection in patients who are at high risk for disease progression. RBT-9 reduces the viral load of several enveloped viruses and protects organs by mitigating viral-induced inflammation and upregulating the production of protective proteins. Our therapeutic goal is to both decrease SARS-CoV-2 viral loads and upregulate intrinsic tissue defense pathways, thereby preventing SARS-CoV-2-mediated organ injury and improving medical outcomes.
Rénibus Therapeutics has received a Fast Track designation from the FDA for the use of RBT-9 in the treatment of COVID-19. The Phase II trial is now enrolling.
