SIRPaFc Checkpoint Inhibitor Program
A pre-IND immunotherapy
program targeting CD47
SIRPaFc inhibits the ‘DO NOT
EAT’ signal of CD47 allowing
macrophages to engulf and
destroy tumor cells
7
Key Attributes of the SIRPaFc Program

SIRPαFc is a biologic cancer immunotherapy targeting the CD47 “do not eat” signal

Follows in the footsteps of CTLA-4 and PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors

Operates through macrophages (innate immune system) but can exert
downstream effects on the adaptive immune system (T cells)

Holds great promise as both monotherapy and combination therapy with other
immunological agents

Has broad clinical potential in both hematological and solid tumors

Mobilizes the immune system to attack bulk cancer cells and cancer stem cells

A Second Clinical Pathway: SIRPaFc Combination Therapy

SIRPαFc-mediated enhancement of innate immunity could be synergistic with
other immune therapies, such as:
 Approved cancer antibodies (e.g., Rituxan®)
 T cell checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-1)
 Cancer vaccines
 Oncolytic viruses
 CAR T cells

Preliminary evidence suggests that CD47 blockade can enhance the potency of
anti-cancer antibodies and promote T cell responses

We will be evaluating SIRPαFc in preclinical combination studies
19
Competition

Trillium is the only group developing a SIRPαFc fusion protein and has developed IP
around this approach

Three others are pursuing anti-CD47 antibodies:
 Stanford, through a non-commercial entity (CIRM grant)
 Celgene (licensed from Inhibrx)
 Novimmune (bispecific anti-CD47/anti-CD19 antibody)

Trillium’s SIRPαFc has much lower binding to human RBCs compared to anti-CD47
mAbs – potential best in class through:
 Lower hemotoxicity
 More favorable PK (no RBC “antigen sink”)
