ORION CORPORATION STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE – INSIDE INFORMATION24 OCTOBER 2024 at 19.50 EEST Inside information: Orion terminates ODM-111 development program due to narrow therapeutic window of the molecule Orion Corporation has decided to terminate the ODM-111 development program based on the risk-benefit analysis on the results of a longer non-clinical toxicology study. Recent findings indicate that the profile of the ODM-111 molecule does not support long-term use of ODM-111 and progression to later-stage development. Additionally, it is important to note that both prior non-clinical studies and the clinical Phase I trial with shorter durations of exposure to ODM-111 did not reveal any significant safety concerns.“Although preparations for the Phase II trials were already well underway, we have now evaluated that the therapeutic window of ODM-111 is too narrow and continuation of the clinical development program for ODM-111 is not feasible for Orion. We are now focusing our resources on other promising projects in our R&D pipeline”, said Outi Vaarala, Senior Vice President, Innovative Medicines and Research & Development at Orion. Exceptionally, Orion publishes information about a project in early clinical development stage in a stock exchange release, because in this case, the information is estimated to meet the definition of inside information due to ODM-111’s strategic importance. This does not affect Orion's current disclosure policy, according to which Orion publishes information on its R&D projects mainly in its interim reports and/or press releases, but, as a main rule, provides information on the results of clinical Phase III trials in separate stock exchange releases.

ORION CORPORATION INVESTOR NEWS 14 OCTOBER 2024 at 11.00 EEST Orion’s collaboration partner Bayer submits application for third indication of darolutamide in the EU Orion’s collaboration partner Bayer today announced the submission of an application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the oral androgen receptor inhibitor (ARi) darolutamide. Bayer is seeking approval for the use of darolutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The submission is based on positive results from the pivotal Phase III ARANOTE trial which showed that darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly reduced the risk of radiological progression or death by 46% compared to placebo plus ADT in patients with mHSPC. The compound is already approved in mHSPC, under the brand name Nubeqa™, in combination with ADT and docetaxel in over 80 markets around the world. The compound is also approved in combination with ADT for the treatment of patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) who are at high risk of developing metastatic disease in more than 85 countries around the world. Darolutamide is developed jointly by Orion and Bayer.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) refers to prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body and continues to progress despite treatments that lower testosterone levels (androgen deprivation therapy or ADT) major pharmaceutical companies are heavily investing in research and development of new treatments, including immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T) and targeted therapies, which are seen as the next frontier in treating mCRPC. The use of precision medicine to identify genetic profiles in patients has further expanded the potential for targeted treatment. LAS VEGAS , Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's ' Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Pipeline Insight 2024 ' report provides comprehensive global coverage of pipeline mCRPC therapies in various stages of clinical development, major pharmaceutical companies are working to advance the pipeline space and future growth potential of the mCRPC pipeline domain. Key Takeaways from the Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Pipeline Report DelveInsight's mCRPC pipeline report depicts a robust space with 90+ active players working to develop 100+ pipeline therapies for mCRPC treatment.

In October 2024, Curium announced that it had entered into a strategic partnership with PDRadiopharma Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PeptiDream, for the clinical development, regulatory filing, and commercialization in Japan of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T and 64Cu-PSMA-I&T. The two agents 177Lu-PSMA-I&T and 64Cu-PSMA-I&T target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells and are being investigated for prostate cancer treatment and diagnostics. In July 2024, the US FDA granted fast-track designation to the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–targeted radiopharmaceutical 225Ac-FL-020 for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In July 2024, Merck and Orion Corporation announced the mutual exercise of option providing Merck global exclusive rights to Opevesostat, an investigational CYP11A1 inhibitor, for the treatment of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. In July 2024, the US FDA granted fast-track designation to the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) BNT324/DB-1311 to potentially treat patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) whose disease had progressed on or after standard systemic regimens. In July 2024, FutureChem announced that the FC-705 has received orphan drug designation from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) for the treatment of prostate cancer. In June 2024, CAR T-Cell Therapy demonstrated promising results for mCRPC according to Phase I trial results. In January 2024, Lava Therapeutics announced that it has signed a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck to evaluate its prostate cancer therapy LAVA-1207 as a combination treatment with MSD's Keytruda (pembrolizumab). In July 2024, Blue Earth Therapeutics announced the signing of a clinical research collaboration with University College London (UCL). The collaboration is centered on a Phase I/II trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, radiation dosimetry, and antitumor activity of the 225Ac-rhPSMA-10.1 in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer who have previously responded to lutetium 177 (177Lu)-PSMA therapy.

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Overview Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced stage of prostate cancer that continues to grow and spread despite hormone therapy aimed at lowering testosterone levels. The term "metastatic" refers to cancer spreading to other parts of the body, such as the bones, lymph nodes, or distant organs, while "castration-resistant" indicates that the cancer no longer responds to treatments that reduce testosterone, a key driver of prostate cancer growth. mCRPC is typically more aggressive and challenging to treat than earlier stages of prostate cancer. The causes of mCRPC stem from genetic and environmental factors. Genetic mutations in the androgen receptor pathway can make cancer cells less dependent on testosterone, allowing them to thrive even under hormone-suppressing treatments. Environmental factors like diet, lifestyle, and exposure to certain chemicals may also contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer. Symptoms of mCRPC often include pain in bones, fatigue, difficulty urinating, weight loss, and general weakness. As the cancer spreads, it can impair the function of other organs, depending on the site of metastasis. Diagnosis of mCRPC usually involves a combination of tests, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests, imaging studies like CT scans, MRIs, or bone scans, and sometimes biopsies to confirm the spread and resistance to treatment. Treatment options for mCRPC are more complex and may include newer hormonal therapies (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide), chemotherapy (docetaxel or cabazitaxel), immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T), or targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors. Bone-targeting therapies, radiation, and palliative care can also be used to manage symptoms and improve the quality of life. Treatment is typically tailored to the individual based on the extent of the disease and the patient health.
