Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Provides Project Update Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2020) - Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Corporation (TSXV: APC) (FSE: 0E8) ("APC" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that its US subsidiary, Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Inc. ("APTI"), is rapidly advancing three projects with the potential to add significant shareholder value. As previously announced, APTI's scientists have identified multiple compounds with high predicted affinity for the SARS-CoV-2 main protease that exceed the affinity of all published candidate viral protease inhibitors known to APTI. APTI has filed patents to protect our inventions and is currently synthesizing the compounds in-house and with completion of the first candidate at scale for initial testing expected in the next two weeks. APTI is in advanced discussions with academic and government laboratories with proven capability to perform cell culture and in vivo testing of these compounds in validated SARS-CoV-2 models. APTI is also making excellent progress on the previously announced collaboration with Dr. Brian Zeglis at the City University of New York to test APTI's site specific conjugation technology in the rapidly growing field of antibody radioisotope conjugates (ARCs). APTIs conjugation technology will be compared to industry standard conjugation utilizing the HER2 targeted antibody, pertuzumab. APTI is performing its conjugation in-house and the Zeglis lab is performing industry standard conjugation in their lab. Initial data comparing the homogeneity of the conjugates is expected within 3 weeks. The collaborators will then proceed to radiolabeling, PET imaging in a HER2 mouse model and evaluation of in vivo bio-distribution. Finally, APTI is advancing discussions with a Boston-based biotech company that has developed antibodies against a high value target expressed on multiple cancer types with the intent to license these antibodies to create novel antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). Initial due diligence and identification of next steps is expected within 4-6 weeks. Dr. Benjamin Krantz, Director of APTI commented, "This is an exciting time for APTI. We have a number of projects advancing simultaneously with potential to create significant value for shareholders. First, our SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitor project is in the synthesis phase and we are preparing for initial testing to demonstrate activity. Second, we are directly testing our conjugation technology against industry standard tech to evaluate biodistribution with potential to further the thesis that our site selective conjugation technology leads to increased on-target and decreased off-target delivery in vivo. Lastly, we are currently in discussions with a collaborator regarding licensing an antibody toward a high value target for ADC generation. A successful ADC toward this target would have blockbuster potential given the prevalence of the target. Due diligence is ongoing with clarity on next steps expected in the near future." ABOUT THE COMPANY: Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Corporation, through its subsidiary, Advanced Proteome Therapeutics Inc., has invented proprietary protein conjugation technology which enables the development of superior antibody-drug conjugates through improved site-specific labeling, drug-antibody ratio control and enabling of combination payloads. The technology has compelling pre-clinical data demonstrating improved homogeneity and increased in vivo potency relative to current state of the art linker technology. The Company believes that the technology will enable the development of safer and more potent antibody-drug conjugate therapeutics and is pursuing licensing and partnership opportunities to advance development and create shareholder value.
