not contesting such petition, or (ii) under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, or relevant non-U.S. law, now or hereafter in effect or under any insolvency, reorganization, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any
jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect (whether at law or equity) is filed by Affimed for all or substantially all of its assets; and/or 

(d) if this Agreement is terminated by any Party in accordance with Section 12, except in accordance with the section of Section 12
pursuant to which the termination occurs. 
 2.5 Donor Designated Funds. Where the Funding is, in part or whole, provided by a donor
to LLS who requests that the donated funds be restricted for support of Affimed, Affimed agrees as a condition to receiving the Funding to participate in reasonable promotional/publicity activities that do not unreasonably interfere with the AFM13
Development Program and Affimed’s other business activities upon reasonable advance notice, provided, however, that Affimed shall have no obligation to publish or disseminate information that contains Affimed’s Confidential
Information or proprietary know-how or trade secrets or will compromise securing patent protection of Affimed’s Intellectual Property or Project Inventions. Affimed shall be obligated to participate in no more than two (2) such
promotional/publicity activities per calendar year. Additional meeting requests shall be discussed and mutually agreed upon by the Parties. 

2.6 Presentations. As a condition to receiving the Funding, Affimed agrees to provide, upon reasonable advance notice by LLS to
Affimed, a representative(s) acceptable to LLS for internal and external presentations or meetings regarding the AFM13 Development Program, provided, however, that Affimed shall have no obligation to publish or disseminate information that
contains Affimed’s Confidential Information or proprietary know-how or trade secrets or will compromise securing patent protection of Affimed’s Intellectual Property or Project Inventions. Such Affimed representative(s) shall discuss the
presentation or meeting with the Team Leaders (as defined in Section 3.1) and designated LLS representatives at least ten (10) days prior to the presentation. Affimed shall acknowledge the support of LLS in all such 


  
 13 








 
presentations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affimed shall be obligated to participate in no more than two (2) LLS presentations or meetings regarding the AFM13 Development Program per
calendar year. Additional presentation requests shall be discussed and mutually agreed upon by both Parties.

(other than pursuant to Section 12.2(d)), the defaulting Party shall have ***** following receipt of written notice from the terminating Party to cure such Default): 

(a) Any material violation by the other Party of any applicable law; 

(b) Any material breach or default by the other Party in the performance of any of its material covenants or obligations hereunder; 

(c) Any representation or warranty made by the other Party in this Agreement that is not true in any material respects; and/or 

(d) A case or proceeding (i) under the bankruptcy laws of the United States now or hereafter in effect is filed against the other Party
or all or substantially all of its assets and 

  
 29 








 
such petition or application is not dismissed within ***** after the date of its filing or the other Party shall file any answer admitting and not contesting such petition, or (ii) under the
bankruptcy laws of the United States now or hereafter in effect or under any insolvency, reorganization, receivership, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect (whether at law or equity) is filed by
the other Party for all or substantially all of its assets. 
 12.3 Termination by Affimed or LLS. Affimed will endeavor to raise the
Matched Funds, in accordance with the Budget. If Affimed is unable to raise the Matched Funds within ***** after the Effective Date, either LLS or Affimed shall have the right to terminate this Agreement thereafter by providing written notice to the
other. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, after such notice neither Party shall have any further obligations to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. 

12.4 Interruption. 
 (a)
Interruption License. Affimed hereby grants to LLS an exclusive (even as to Affimed), worldwide, sublicensable license to the Product and any Development Program Results, which license shall be effective in the event of an Interruption (the
“Interruption License”). Upon documentation that an Interruption has occurred in accordance with this Section, Affimed shall promptly transfer to LLS a copy of all Development Program Results in the Field. LLS shall notify Affimed
in writing if it believes an Interruption has occurred (the “Interruption Notice”). If Affimed disputes the Interruption Notice, it shall respond in writing within ***** of receipt of the Interruption Notice providing specific
evidence supporting its response. If LLS disagrees with such response, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement. If Affimed agrees with the Interruption Notice or fails to respond to the Interruption Notice
within the specified *****, an Interruption shall be deemed to have occurred. Affimed has made LLS aware of the fact that a potential investor in Affimed intellectual property has also requested some form of interruption license in the event of a
cessation of Commercially Reasonable Efforts relating to the Product. LLS wishes to encourage additional investment in Affimed relating to the Product and accordingly agrees that LLS will engage in good faith discussions with such investor upon
Affimed’s request to determine how the license granted to LLS pursuant to this subparagraph can be reasonably coordinated with a license Affimed may wish to grant to such investor. 

  
 30 








 (b) Interruption Payment. Affimed may elect to pay the Interruption Payment in lieu of the
Interruption License by providing notice of such election to LLS and making the Interruption Payment with such notice. The Interruption Payment shall be one (1) time the amount of the Funding actually provided to Affimed plus an annual interest
rate of ***** calculated from the date of LLS’ Funding(s) until the payment of the Interruption License. The Interruption Payment shall be applied against the Royalty Cap for purposes of determining any payments to LLS under Section 9.3.

 (c) LLS Partnership Accommodations. Notwithstanding subparagraphs (a) and (b), Affimed has expressed its concern that at certain
stages of the Development Program the Interruption License could impede Affimed’s efforts to seek a “partner” to commercialize the Product. LLS agrees that it will subsequently discuss any such concerns with Affimed and a prospective
partner at Affimed’s request and LLS shall make such adjustments to its Interruption rights as LLS determines are reasonably necessary to accommodate such a partnering agreement. 

12.5 Survival. The following provisions shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement: 7, 8, 10, 11, 12.5, 14.2, 14.9
and 14.10. If LLS terminates this Agreement for reasons of a Default by Affimed pursuant to Section 12.2, then Sections 9 and 12.4 shall also survive such termination. If (i) LLS has performed all of its payment obligations under this
Agreement and (ii) Affimed thereafter terminates this Agreement for reasons of a Default by LLS other than a default in payments by LLS, then Section 9.3 shall also survive such termination. 

13. Indemnification. 

13.1 Indemnification by Affimed. Affimed agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, LLS and LLS directors, officers,
representatives, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Third Party claims, losses, expenses, demands, suits, liability or damage for personal
injury, property damage or otherwise, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, (collectively “Claims”), arising directly or indirectly from, relating to, or resulting from (a) Affimed’s or any its Affiliates’,
sublicensees’ or contractors’ actions in connection with the development, 

  
 31 








 
manufacture or commercialization of the Compounds and/or Products, (b) Affimed’s or any of its Affiliates’ negligence or willful misconduct, (c) any material breach of its
representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement and (d) the conduct of Affimed’s business or operations outside of the AFM13 Development Program. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affimed shall have no obligations pursuant to this Agreement to defend or indemnify LLS from any liability,
loss, damage or expense to the extent it arises from any of the occurrences listed in Section 13.2 (a) through (d). 
 13.2
Indemnification by LLS. LLS agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, Affimed and Affimed’s Indemnitees from and against any and all Claims arising directly or indirectly from, relating to, or resulting from (a) if but only if
the Interruption License becomes effective, LLS’ or any its Affiliates’, sublicensees’ or contractors’ actions in connection with the development, manufacture or commercialization of the Compounds and/or Products; (b) any
material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement and (c) the conduct of LLS’ business or operations outside of the AFM13 Development Program. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LLS shall have no obligations pursuant to this Agreement to defend or indemnify Affimed from any liability,
loss, damage or expense to the extent it arises from any of the occurrences listed in Section 13.1 (a) through (c). 
 13.3
Indemnification Procedures. 
 13.3.1 In the case of any Claim asserted against an Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall (i) notify
the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing as soon as it becomes aware of any Claim and shall permit the Indemnitor (at the expense of the Indemnitor) to assume defense of any Claim and (ii) cooperate fully with the legal
representative chosen by the Indemnitor, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation hereunder
except to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice. 

13.3.2 Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the
Indemnitor shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary 

  
 32 








 
relief affecting the Indemnitee or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect
to such Claim. 
 13.3.3 If the Indemnitee in good faith determines, based upon the written advice of outside counsel, that the conduct of
the defense of any Claim subject to indemnification under this Agreement or any proposed settlement of any such Claim by the Indemnitor might be expected to affect adversely the Indemnitee’s tax status, reputation, the ability of the Indemnitee
to conduct its business or fulfill its mission, the Indemnitee will have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or litigation relating to that portion of the Claim at the sole cost of the
Indemnitor (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor), provided that if the Indemnitee does so take over and assume control, the Indemnitee may not settle such Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitor, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld. 
 13.4 Insurance. Affimed shall maintain at its own expense, with a reputable insurance
carrier, coverage for Affimed, its Affiliates, and their respective employees written on a per occurrence basis commensurate with a reasonable assessment of the risks associated with the research efforts being conducted by Affimed, including,
without limitation, comprehensive general liability insurance for claims relating to the performance and lack of performance of Affimed’s obligations under this Agreement and comprehensive general liability insurance for claims for damages
arising from bodily injury (including death) and property damages arising out of acts or omissions of a Affimed Party. On or prior to the Effective Date, Affimed shall provide LLS with an insurance certificate from the insurer(s) evidencing each
insurance coverage. At its request, LLS may review Affimed’s insurance coverage with relevant Affimed officials from time to time. Maintenance of such insurance coverage will not relieve Affimed of any responsibility under this Agreement for
damage in excess of insurance limits or otherwise. 
 13.5 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT FOR EACH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS TO
INDEMNIFY A THIRD PARTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.1 and 13.2, IT IS AGREED BY THE PARTIES THAT NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER.

 EXHIBIT B 

Compound 
 Description of
AFM13 
 AFM13, also defined as CD30/CD16A, is a tetravalent bispecific, anti-human CD30, antihuman CD16A, recombinant antibody construct based on
Affimed’s proprietary TandAb® technology. AFM13 is designed for the treatment of CD30 positive malignancies, i.e. Hodgkin Lymphoma. AFM13 is constructed by means of recombinant technology. The anti-CD30 sequence derived from a murine
antibody. The anti-CD16A was isolated out of Affimed’s fully human antibody libraries employing phage display and this antibody is highly specific to the CD16A isoform which is located on NK cells and macrophages and which is known to be
responsible for triggering the ADCC. This CD16A antibody does not bind to CD16B. 

  

			
	Confidential	  	- 41 -









 AFM13 is produced in mammalian cells as a homodimer and does not contain any Fc parts of a full antibody. The
polypeptide comprises four antibody variable domains, each one being separated from the neighboring domains by a ***** linker of ***** amino acids. The four-domain gene product is unable by itself to bind antigen, since the lengths of the linkers
between the domains are too short for intramolecular pairing of the corresponding heavy and light chains. However, they are arranged in an order that permits formation of the corresponding antibody VH/VL domains after non-covalent dimerization. The
result of this folding process is a homodimeric molecule with a molecular weight of 104 kDa as outlined in figure 1 (see below). 
  





 
 Figure 1: Folding pathway of AFM13. Fv-1 represents the variable domains of the anti-CD16A antibody, both integrated on the
outer domains of the AFM13 TandAb, and Fv-2 represents the variable domains of the anti-CD30 antibody, both integrated as the inner domains of the AFM13 TandAb. Fv-1 is human, derived from Affimed’s antibody library and binds specifically to A
isoform of CD16. Fv-2 is a murine antibody, derived from Hybridoma HRS3.

Current Stage of Project

	  

AFM13, a CD30/CD16A bispecific RECRUIT-TandAb antibody, is currently being investigated in a first-in-man clinical study (AFM13-101). In the dose escalation
Phase I study, a total of 28 patients have been treated and AFM13 has been safe and well tolerated on all dose levels tested. Furthermore, AFM13 showed clear signs of efficacy with an apparent threshold effect at 1.5 mg/kg when applied four times as
an infusion at weekly intervals. 8/13 (61.5%) patients treated at this dose level or higher experienced a loss of tumor mass with 3/13 (23.1%) patients having >50% tumor mass reduction. The dose escalation part of the study has been
finished without reaching a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The highest dose of 7mg/kg has been defined as the Maximum Feasible Single Dose (MFSD). Currently, a twice-weekly dosing regimen is being tested at a fixed dose of 4.5mg/kg.

 
 AFM13 has the potential to become a new targeted therapy not only for patients with HL
but also for patients suffering from other CD30+ malignancies, such as ALCL (anaplastic large cell lymphoma) and CTCL (cutaneous T cell lymphoma).

 Target / Pathway / Mechanism of Action 

Bispecific antibodies usually do not occur in nature but are constructed by recombinant DNA technologies. The tetravalent bispecific format, as represented by
AFM13, is designed to recruit cytotoxic effector cells of the immune system effectively against tumor target cells. TandAbs comprise solely variable domains which are fused via peptide linkers as depicted in the cartoon below. 

 
 



 
 Natural killer (NK) cells are a potent subset of lymphocytes that can target and lyse tumor cells. In contrast to T
lymphocytes, they do not need to be pre-activated. Their inherent cytolytic activity can be induced via the FcgRIIIA receptor (CD16A), which is expressed on the surface of NK cells, macrophages, and
activated monocytes. 
 Hodgkin Lymphoma results from the clonal transformation of cells of B-cell origin, giving rise to pathogenic Reed-Sternberg cells
(RS cells). RS cells are considered to derive from germinal center B cells. RS cells carry the CD30 marker, which is the identifying cell surface antigen of Hodgkin Lymphoma cells. 

The recombinant antibody construct AFM13 simultaneously binds to the CD30 antigen on RS cells and to CD16A
(FcgRIIIA) on NK cells. This leads to the formation of a so called “immunological synapse”, subsequent activation of NK cells that release cytotoxic substances, granzyme B and perforin, leading
to apoptosis and ultimately to lysis of CD30-positive Reed-Sternberg cells. 
 Total Funding Requested and Timeframe 

The costs comprise four categories (FTEs, CMC, clinical and others) totaling in *****. The funding request from LLS is ***** which corresponds to 3.236 M€
/ 4.401 M$. The other ***** of the project costs are funded by Affimed. The material project activities are planned to be executed from ***** until *****.

 Summary: (please do not exceed the space provided) 

Hodgkin Lymphoma is a fatal disease that can be successfully treated in the majority of cases with chemotherapy and, where necessary, radiotherapy. However, a
significant number of patients relapse or become refractory to treatment. Furthermore, the aggressive treatment regimen can give rise to secondary malignant tumors, and the severe side effects frequently prevent elderly patients from receiving or
completing the standard treatment. Therefore, there is a high unmet medical need for more selective therapeutics with less side effects for extending and improving the quality of patients’ lives. 

Available alternative options for patients who no longer respond to, or are unable to undergo standard chemotherapy/radiotherapy treatment are of limited
effectiveness. This is also the case for the antibody drug conjugate Brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®), which was recently approved for relapsed HL patients. Although showing a high overall response rate, this immunotoxin has a short duration of
response of 6.7 months and shows severe side effects. Approximately 90% of patients treated with Brentuximab vedotin required further therapy within less than 1 year. 

In view of the urgent need of an effective treatment for HL with a more benign safety profile, Affimed Therapeutics AG has developed the investigational
medicinal product AFM13, which is a tetravalent bispecific (CD30/CD16A) recombinant antibody construct (TandAb). The high potency of this molecule results from its ability to specifically recruit cytotoxic immune effector cells (NK cells) for
targeting tumor cells (Reed-Sternberg cells). After the formation of an “immunological synapse” between the killer cell and tumor cell, the NK cells become activated and lyse the Reed-Sternberg cells via antibody dependent cellular
cytotoxicity (ADCC). AFM13 has been extensively characterized in pre-clinical studies. A robust and scalable manufacturing process has been established. The first-in-man study with AFM13 (AFM13-101) started in September 2010 with terminally ill
patients. The overall objective of the study AFM13-101 is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and activity of single cycles of AFM13 in patients with CD30 positive refractory and/or relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma. A total of 28
patients have been treated: AFM13 was shown to be safe and well tolerated at all dose levels tested so far. Furthermore, AFM13 showed clear signs of efficacy in these poor prognosis patients.8/13 (61.5%) patients treated with 1.5 mg/kg or more
of AFM13 applied four times as a short infusion at weekly intervals showed a loss of tumor mass with 3/13 (23.1%) patients having >50% tumor mass reduction. This very encouraging data warrants the further investigation of AFM13 in a phase II
study to assess its efficacy, especially in patients with a better prognosis. If AFM13 fulfills expectations, it could become the first immunotherapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma. 

In addition to the convincing scientific and medical rationale several unique attributes make AFM13 an interesting drug opportunity: (i) orphan drug
status in the US and EU (ii) straight forward development path with a possible BLA (Biologic License Application at FDA) by end of 2017 (iii) combination with standard 1st line therapy
to lower toxicity while maintaining efficacy, and finally (iv) limited competition in the growing market of Hodgkin lymphoma and other CD30+ malignancies. 

In this proposal Affimed presents its plan for the further clinical development of AFM13 for treating Hodgkin Lymphoma including important decision and
evaluation points.

 PROJECT PLAN AND BUDGET 

Project Title 
 Phase IIa study of
AFM13, a bispecific CD30/CD16A TandAb antibody, for the treatment of patients with refractory and/or relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma 
 A
first in class immunotherapeutic product addressing the high unmet need of a safe and effective therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma 
 Project Plan

  
 I) Introduction to AFM13,
Hodgkin Lymphoma and methods of treatment 
 AFM13. AFM13 is a tetravalent, bi-specific TandAb antibody binding to CD30 on Hodgkin
tumors and to CD16A (FcgRIIIA) surface receptors on natural killer cells and macrophages to induce cell lysis. A clinical phase 1 trial with AFM13 was initiated at the end of 2010. Data from 28 patients
has so far been analyzed. AFM13 is safe and well tolerated and has shown significant activity in the trial. In the highest dose groups (1.5 mg/kg and higher), 3 of the 13 patients showed a tumor reduction of >50% (corresponding to ~23%) and 2 PR
and 7 SD were observed in the group as a whole. 
 Hodgkin Lymphoma and treatment approaches. The American Cancer Society estimates the
incidence of Hodgkin Lymphoma to be about 10,491 patients in the US and 6,905 patients in the five major European countries (EU5) in 2009. About 1,350 patients die as a result of the disease per year in the US. 

Untreated Hodgkin Lymphoma leads to death in less than a year after diagnosis on average. Fortunately, this disease can be successfully treated in the
majority of cases with an aggressive regimen of chemotherapy combined, where necessary, with radiotherapy. Approximately 84% of the patients respond to this treatment, and 48% show a long term remission of up to 15 years. Nevertheless, about 52% of
the patients experience a relapse after initial treatment, the majority occurring within the first two years, and about 40% relapse after a second line treatment. Furthermore, the standard-of-care is also associated with severe side effects from
both chemotherapy and radiation, which can give rise to secondary malignant tumors, and which frequently prevent elderly patients from receiving or completing the standard treatment. There is therefore a high unmet medical need for therapeutics
which have a more selective mechanism of action, and hence an improved side effect profile, in order to extend and improve the quality of patients’ lives.

 In order to improve safety and outcome of HL therapy, alternative approaches have been investigated in the
clinic comprising antibody-drug-conjugates, monoclonal antibodies and bi-specific constructs. 
 In August 2012 Brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris®) was
marketed for treating HL in the US. This drug is a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate for (i) the treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma after failure of autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) or after failure of at least two prior
multi-agent chemotherapy regimens in patients who are not ASCT candidates and (ii) the treatment of patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma after failure of at least one prior multi-agent chemotherapy regimen. ORR of Brentuximab
vedotin in HL patients is 73% and the median duration of response is 6.7 months. It appears to be quite toxic as shown by disorders of the blood, lymph and nervous systems. A significant proportion of patients developed grade 3 and 4 toxicities. In
conclusion, although Brentuximab vedotin shows impressive ORR in salvage HL [and ALCL] therapy, its duration of response and its side effect profile are clear weaknesses that need to be addressed by a safer and more durable therapy. 

Naked anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody approaches, such as MDX-060 of BMS or SGN-030 of Seattle Genetics (the antibody used in Brentuximab vedotin conjugate),
showed disappointing results in phase II clinical studies with a small portion of partial remissions (0-6%) and stable disease. Even antibodies with improved effector mechanisms, such as XmAb-2513 of Xencor, were not able to demonstrate sufficient
activity. Currently, none of these antibodies is being tested in further clinical studies. 
 More promising data was obtained with bispecific antibody
constructs. Reagents developed by Biotest and Medarex showed clear efficacy in Phase I/II clinical trial of refractory Hodgkin disease. However, their further developed was discontinued due to manufacturing and scale-up issues. 

So far, no immunotherapeutic has been approved for the treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma or is currently in development. However, based on encouraging clinical
results of a bispecific (CD30/CD16) hybridoma antibody produced by Biotest (see above); Affimed developed a novel highly potent tetravalent bispecific antibody, called AFM13. 

The development of an immunotherapeutic approach appears to be of great interest for the medical community as indicated by responses to KOL interviews. KOLs
in the US and the EU confirmed that AFM13 has potential not only as 3rd line therapy for relapsed and refractory HL patients, *****.

 II) AFM13 – Mode of Action in comparison with other immunotherapies and the antibody drug
conjugate Brentuximab vedotin 
 AFM13 Mechanism of action. Bispecific antibodies usually do not occur in nature, they have to be
constructed by recombinant DNA technologies. The tetravalent bispecific format, as represented by AFM13, is designed to recruit cytotoxic effector cells of the immune system for targeting tumor cells. Natural killer (NK) cells are a potent subset of
lymphocytes that can often recognize and lyse tumor cells. In contrast to T lymphocytes, they do not need to be pre-activated. Their inherent cytolytic activity can be induced via the FcgRIIIA receptor
(CD16A), which is expressed on the surface of NK cells, macrophages, and activated monocytes. Hodgkin Lymphoma results from the clonal transformation of cells of B cell origin, giving rise to pathogenic Reed-Sternberg cells (RS cells)
expressingCD30, a cell surface antigen associated with Hodgkin Lymphoma cells. 
 AFM13 simultaneously binds to the CD30 antigen on RS cells and to CD16A on
NK cells. This leads to the formation of a so-called “immunological synapse” with subsequent activation of NK cells that release cytotoxic substances, granzyme B and perforin, leading to apoptosis and ultimately to lysis of CD30-positive
RS cells. A sketch of its mechanism of action is shown below 
  
 



 
 Comparison of AFM13 with other immunotherapies. AFM13 has demonstrated superior ADCC properties on several
Hodgkin Lymphoma and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) cell lines relative to an Fc-enhanced anti-CD30 antibody. Its EC50 for tumor cell lysis was 10-fold better. Moreover, in human serum
the ADCC of AFM13 was similar to that in standard assay buffers, whereas the activity of the Fc-enhanced antibody was dramatically reduced; the reason being that the anti-CD16A moiety does not compete with polyclonal IgG in human blood and the
binding of CD16A by TandAbs is not affected by Fcg receptor polymorphism, unlike existing therapeutic antibodies such as Rituximab. Therefore, better clinical efficacy, lower doses with reduced treatment
costs, and fewer side effects to achieve equivalent efficacy can be expected.

 Comparison of AFM13 with Brentuximab vedotin. According to publically available data AFM13 has
shown a better safety profile than Brentuximab vedotin. Although Brentuximab vedotin is based on an anti-CD30 antibody, its toxicity is primarily due to its chemical payload, the microtubule disrupting agent MMAE (monomethyl auristatin E). It
therefore shows a side effect profile similar to other chemotherapeutic agents. In contrast, AFM13 has shown a very benign safety profile in the dose-escalation trial with grade 1 and 2 infusion related side effects. 

The mode of action of AFM13 is quite different from that of Brentuximab vedotin. While the latter requires both CD30 internalization and actively dividing
Reed Sternberg cells, AFM13 functions by linking CD30 positive cells with NK-cells. Therefore, CD30 positive Reed Sternberg cells can be killed without the requirement of CD30 internalization or active cell division. 

AFM13’s indiscriminate mode of action makes it an attractive candidate for helping to eradicate minimal residual disease (MRD) and tumors that have
become resistant to other treatments. It may therefore also extend the time to relapse. In the ongoing AFM13-101 trial, a total of 9 patients have been enrolled who received Brentuximab vedotin as a prior therapy. 7 of these patients achieved stable
disease after AFM13 treatment. 
 *****, AFM13 should have a significant advantage over Brentuximab vedotin, since it does not increase the amount of toxic
substances. ABVD (1st line multi-agent chemotherapy comprising adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine; frequently used in the US) and BEACOPP (1st line multi-agent chemotherapy comprising bleomycin, etoposide, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, oncovin, procarbazine, prednisone; mainly used in the EU, especially in Germany) have been established 1st and 2nd line therapies for many years. A combination of Brentuximab vedotin with ABVD could not be pursued due to pulmonary toxicity; a
combination with AVD is currently being tested.

 III) AFM13 – Preclinical Development 

Non-clinical pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of AFM13. 

Pharmacology. AFM13 binds to human CD16A and to human CD30 with a single digit nanomolar affinity. The in vitro characterization confirmed the
specificity of AFM13 for CD16A and revealed comparable binding to both tested CD16A allelic variants (CD16A/V158 vs. CD16A/F158). No
binding of AFM13 to different variants of CD16B was detectable. AFM13 induces specific and selective killing of CD30+ target cells by NK cells with an EC50 in the order of 5 – 250 pM (depending on the target cell line and effector cells used). AFM13-induced target cell lysis is specific since AFM13-activated killing of CD30+ target cells by NK cells does not affect CD30- bystander cells. The onset of AFM13-mediated target cell lysis is fast and does not require
pre-activation of NK cells. The ability of free soluble AFM13 to induce cytokine release from human PBMC is minimal. Binding of AFM13 to CD16A+ cells in cultures of human PBMC or binding to CD30+ on Hodgkin Lymphoma cells did not give rise to any significant stimulation of proliferation. AFM13 could not be tested with regard to mode of action and efficacy in animals, as no robust and reliable
in vivo model based on human tumor and NK cells could be developed. 
 Pharmacokinetics. Noncompartimental pharmacokinetic analyses in mice
and monkeys revealed that AFM13 has linear pharmacokinetics following intravenous administration. Serum concentration time curves in mice and cynomolgus monkeys are biphasic and are strongly dominated by the alpha phase of the kinetics. Only a small
portion of the total AUC falls into the beta phase. Terminal half-life of AFM13 in mice is about 6 – 8 h and between 10 and 20 h in cynomolgus monkeys. Some accumulation of AFM13 is seen after repeated administration (q2d x 28d) in cynomolgus
monkeys, but effects on clearance and distribution volume are marginal. Due to the dominance of the alpha phase and the rather short alpha half life, substantial steady state levels of AFM13 are not achieved during repeated dosing every other day
over 28 days in monkeys. 
 Toxicology. Cynomolgus monkeys can be regarded as a relevant species for AFM13 from a primary pharmacodynamic
perspective. In a dose escalation study evaluating the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) no single dose intravenous MTD could be determined; a single dose of 100 mg/kg of AFM13 was still well tolerated. In a pivotal 28-days toxicity study no overt
clinical signs of toxicity were noted throughout all dosing groups with regard to clinical observations, bodyweights, ophthalmoscopy, ECG, blood chemistry, urinalysis, T-dependent antibody response, immunophenotyping, NK cell analysis, organ
weights, bone marrow evaluation, macroscopic or microscopic terminal observations. The only finding of note was a dose-dependent decrease in group mean erythroid parameters (RBC, Hb and HCT), with a good reticulocytic response and clear
reversibility after two weeks off-treatment. Although leading to borderline anemia at most, this consistent hematological effect of AFM13 was regarded as adverse since longer treatment or higher exposition might possibly lead to symptomatic anaemia.
Therefore, the NOAEL was defined as 0.2 mg/kg/dose and was taken as the basis for the determination of a safe starting dose in the first-in-man trials.

 Immunotoxicity. No immunotoxic effects of AFM13 could be identified during the 28-day repeat
dose toxicity study using the T cell dependent antigen KLH in combination with flow cytometric monitoring of lymphocyte subsets and NK parameters. Furthermore, systemic cytokine release after treatment with AFM13 was absent in all but one animal in
the high dose group (this was not rated as drug related). Anti-drug antibody titers in the pivotal 28-day repeat dose toxicity study of AFM13 were negligible and did not impact exposure. 

Tissue cross-reactivity. In the human tissues the staining pattern shown by AFM13 was consistent with its specificity, detecting only scattered
CD16-positive inflammatory cells in normal tissues. However, AFM13 showed strong immunostaining of a number of secretory-type human epithelia and some non-secretory epithelia. A comparable pattern of epithelial staining has also been observed in
cynomolgus monkeys where no toxicity was observed.

V) AFM13 – Status of clinical development 

Phase I study AFM13-101. The First in Human clinical study for AFM13, study code AFM13-101, is being conducted with terminally ill Hodgkin
lymphoma patients who progressed or were refractory to previous standard therapy. The study represents an open, single arm, phase I dose escalation trial with the overall objective to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics,
immunogenicity, antitumor activity, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the optimal biological dose (OBD) of AFM13 monotherapy. Each patient received a single cycle, consisting of four weekly doses of AFM13. The doses were escalated in cohorts of 3
patients at dose levels of 0.01, 0.04, 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 4.5 and 7.0 mg/kg. In responding patients, a second course of AFM13 could be administered at the discretion of the investigator. Safety was assessed using CTCAE v. 4.02 criteria. Antitumor
activity was assessed by CT and FDG-PET imaging using Cheson criteria. Additionally, a semi-quantitative FDG-PET parameter (maximum standardized uptake value, SUVmax) was used to assess the
metabolic activity in targeted lesions after AFM13 therapy. The correlation between the biologic activity of AFM13 and biomarkers (e.g., the plasma concentration of shed CD30 antigen, sCD30) was assessed, as well as the pharmacokinetic profile of
AFM13. A total of 28 patients (status early March 2013) have been treated with AFM13: 24 patients in the dose escalation part of the study on a weekly schedule, and 4 patients on the 4.5mg/kg twice-weekly schedule.

 Patient characteristic. Patients qualified for study participation if they had active disease
at the time of enrolment and failed or progressed on prior standard therapies. The standard therapies in Hodgkin Lymphoma are chemotherapy in first-line treatment (e.g. ABVD or BEACOPP regimen) and high dose chemotherapy plus autologous stem cell
transplantation (if patient qualifies) in second line. Patients median age was 38 (range 19 to 72). 22/28 patients had received prior autologous stem cell transplantation and 9/28 patients received prior treatment with Brentuximab vedotin. The
median number of prior therapies was 6 (range 3 to 11) overall. 14/28 patients were refractory to their most recent therapy. 
 Safety
assessment. The study confirmed good safety and tolerability profiles for AFM13. All doses from 0.01mg/kg to 7mg/kg once a week, and 4.5 mg/kg b.i.w. proved to be well tolerated and safe. The MTD was not reached. No trend for increased
cytokine release has been observed after AFM13 treatment. 
 25 Patients have been included into the second Development Safety Update Report (DSUR) which
was submitted in October 2012. Six SAE (serious adverse event) reports with 9 serious adverse events were documented during the period under review for this DSUR. None of the events was considered possibly related to AFM13. Most frequently reported
serious adverse events belonged to the System Organ Class (SOC) “Infections and infestations” (n=7). The following most common non-serious adverse events were identified: fever (n=27), chills (n=16), and headache (n=11). They were mild or
moderate in nature and resolved either spontaneously or upon symptomatic treatment/ temporary interruption of AFM13. Fever, chills and headache were identified as symptoms of possible infusion related reactions to AFM13. 

Two SUSAR cases were reported during the study. One patient, who was on a dose of 0.5mg/kg and who had known liver involvement, developed a possibly
drug-related dose-limiting grade 4 hemolytic anemia and a fatal, not drug-related suspected Aspergillus pneumonia. The other patient, on 4.5mg/kg b.i.w., developed a pneumocystis carinii pneumonia which was judged as being possibly drug-related. The
patient fully recovered after antifungal therapy. 
 It was concluded that hemolytic anemia/reduction in erythroid parameters and infusion related reactions
are potential risks associated with AFM13 treatment and should be closely monitored. No other potential risks have been identified for AFM13. 

Activity assessment. From 28 treated patients, 26 were eligible for activity assessment. The overall clinical activity of AFM13 in the 26
heavily pretreated patients was 2 partial responses (PR) and 14 stable diseases (SD). Of note, 7 patients who achieved SD have previously been treated with Brentuximab vedotin. 12/26 patients showed a reduction in tumor volume as determined by
changes in the Sum of Perpendicular Diameters (SPD) in CT measurement (3 patients > 50%). 14/26 patients showed a reduction in tumor metabolic activity as determined by changes in the SUVmax
(3 patients > 50%). The change in the sum of the perpendicular diameters correlated statistically significant to the decrease in the FDG uptake. Activity assessment indicates a threshold effect at 1.5 mg/kg: The treatment of 13 patients with this
or higher doses resulted in 2 partial responses and 7 stable diseases.

 In alignment, biomarker analysis showed a statistically significant, dose-dependent increase in activated NK
cells (as determined by expression of the activation marker CD69), and a reduction in soluble CD30 antigen (sCD30) in plasma. The geometric mean apparent terminal half-life of AFM13 was up to 22.4h, with individual estimates up to 32.6h. 

In conclusion, this encouraging data warrants the further investigation of AFM13 in phase II to assess its efficacy in patients with a better prognosis. 

 
 



 
 VI) AFM13 – Further clinical development 

Planned Phase IIa study to investigate the efficacy of two different dose regimens of AFM13 in Hodgkin Lymphoma patients who progressed or were
refractory to standard therapy including Adcetris. 
 AFM13 will be investigated in a phase II study, using a modified Gehan two-stage design, in HL
patients who failed or progressed on the therapy with Adcetris. This design allows for the rapid rejection of ineffective treatment at the end of the first stage and provides an estimation of the success rate with a given precision, at the end of
the second stage. For this study a targeted response rate of at least 30%, with a precision (standard error, SE) of 5% for Stage 1 and 10% for Stage 2, has been selected.

 There will be two treatment groups in Stage 1. Each group will have 9 randomly allocated HL patients. One
group will receive 1.5 mg/kg AFM13 dosed twice a week (b.i.w) for 8 weeks and the other group will receive 3.0 mg/kg of AFM13 dosed three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday [MWF]) for 8 weeks. The tumor responses will be assessed 4-6 weeks
after the end of therapy, in accordance with the Cheson criteria. The primary objective of this study will be objective response (OR) rate (PR and CR). The secondary objective will be time to relapse. 

 
 



 
  

	*	SE=10% 

 At the end of Stage 1 the number of ORs will be assessed and compared between each group. There
must be at least one objective response observed in order for this dosing regimen to be considered for progress into Stage 2. If no objective response is observed, this dosing regimen will be confirmed as ineffective and will not be investigated
further. The dosing regimen with more responses or more CRs will progress into Stage 2. If there are an equal number of responses in each group then the 1.5mg/kg twice a week dosing regimen will be selected for Stage 2. 

An additional 16 patients will be enrolled into Stage 2. At the end of this study the total response rate and efficacy of AFM13 will be estimated. A total of
40 patients to include 34 eligible patients will complete the study. 
 Affimed will conduct the Phase IIa study in the US and in the EU. There have already
been several promising contacts with potential sites in the US. Most recently ***** confirmed their interest and agreed to act as the leading clinical site in the US. And the *****, which are recruiting for the ongoing Phase I trial, also confirmed
their intention to participate in the planned Phase IIa study.

will depend on the final evaluation and the estimated patient recruitment.

	*	If Stage 1 shows 330% PR or CR, then AFM13 Stage 2 can switch into a pivotal, open-label, single arm, accelerated approval study with up to a total of 91
patients. 

 Rationale on the Phase IIa study – Decision point at stage 1 with >30% OR 

The following aspects have been considered to define 3 30% OR as the target response rate: 

 

	 	•	 	AFM13 phase I data 

 Affimed analysis of the Phase I results showed that a
3 20 % response rate is more than feasible and attainable. Out of 13 patients receiving doses of 1.5 mg/kg and higher, 2 patients achieved a partial response, which corresponds to a response rate of
15% (2/13). One additional patient showed a reduction in SPD of > 50%, however in this patient new lesions were diagnosed after therapy, therefore the response had to be assessed as PD. A biopsy revealed that the new lesions were CD30
negative (conversion of HL to a different lymphoma type, oral communication) and thus could not respond to AFM13 therapy. Taking this into account, 3/13 patients showed a significant response, which corresponds to an overall rate of 23%. 

However, the LLS TAP committee and Affimed had agreed upon defining 3 30% OR as the target response rate, as this
would *****

	 	•	 	Patient selection 

 In the Phase IIa study Affimed will use more stringent patient inclusion criteria as
compared to its Phase I (see below) and will enroll better prognosis patients, e.g. with only 2-4 prior treatments, including Adcetris. In addition, CD30 positivity will be confirmed within 6 months prior to start of the AFM13 therapy. However, all
patients that will be recruited in this Phase IIa will be “Adcetris failure” patients. This means that all patients received Adcetris as one of their previous treatment options and were either refractory to Adcetris or relapsed. 

Note: Phase I patients had received, on average, 6 prior therapies (ranging from 3-11 prior therapies) and were mainly poor prognosis patients. Nine out of 26
eligible patients progressed or were refractory to Adcetris, eight of which were eligible for the activity assessment. Six of these patients achieved stable disease after the AFM13 treatment; four of them had reduced tumor size and reduced metabolic
activity in comparison to their baseline values. 
  

	 	•	 	Schedule 

 In the phase I study patients were treated for 4 weeks either with a weekly schedule (24 patients) or
a 2x/week schedule (4 patients). The analysis of PK and NK cell activation showed that the treatment schedule can be optimized. In the Phase IIa study patients will be treated either with a 2x/week or 3x/week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) schedule.

 Rationale for choosing 1.5 mg/kg twice a week (b.i.w.) and 3 mg/kg 3 times a week for 8 weeks 

In the phase I study Affimed tested two different dosing regimens: 0.01 mg/kg to 7 mg/kg once a week for 4 weeks (total of 4 doses), and 4.5 mg/kg twice a week
for 4 weeks (total of 8 doses). In the weekly schedule we observed a threshold effect with 1.5mg/kg. The doses that included 1.5 mg/kg, 4.5 mg/kg and 7 mg/kg showed a reduction in the tumor volume (SPD) in 5 out of 9 patients, three of them having a
reduction of over 50%. 4 patients have so far completed the cohort of 4.5 mg/kg given twice a week resulting in: 1/4 patients progressed, 2/4 patients have SD and 1/4 had PR. 

PK/PD analysis from the phase I study shows that activity is not specifically Cmax or AUC dependent.
It appears that a threshold concentration/exposure achieved with 1.5mg/kg is required to elicit activity.

 This is consistent with the finding that the amount of activated effector NK cells significantly increases
with the dose of AFM13. The data have shown that in the once a week schedule, the amount of activated NK cells in the plasma corresponded to the reduction in the AFM13 plasma concentration. At this stage it is unclear whether the continuation of
activity depends on maintaining the plasma concentration of AFM13 above a certain level or whether it requires repeated peaks in its plasma concentrations to maintain the amount of activated NK cells above the threshold level. Further and vice versa
it is also not known whether there is an upper AFM13 threshold concentration above which there is saturation of NK cell activation and/or a decrease in the total number of available NK cells in the body. 

For the Phase IIa study two additional regimens will be explored. The selection of these two dose schedules is based on the analysis of the data from the
Phase I study and the following PK simulations performed. In the table below the simulation of the minimal and maximal steady state concentrations of AFM13 for various regimens given for 4 weeks is shown:

	*	As no data are available at 3 mg/kg, simulations were performed based on the models for 1.5 mg/kg and 4.5 mg/kg data. As these models have different parameter estimates (e.g. clearance estimates are 2 fold
different), the Cssmin and Cssmax were taken to be between the two simulations. 


In the phase I study the 7 mg/kg dose of AFM13 given once a week achieved very high peak concentrations. This dose also provided a drug presence throughout
the period of 7 days. However, it did not result in the expected activity, confirming that a high Cmax on its own did not contribute to the response. 

The dose of 4.5 mg/kg given twice a week produced lower peak concentrations than 7 mg/kg, but was present in the blood at a much higher level over the 7 day
period. This dose regimen achieved better responses (1PR 2SD and 1PD) than 7 mg/kg (3SD). The fact that 1.5 mg/kg dosed once a week produced relatively good responses (1PR, 1PD – judged on new lesion which was CD30 negative, otherwise it would
be PR; and 1 PD) indicates that there must be a fine balance between the dose and the type of exposure (Cmax and Cmin). To explore this
we performed pharmacokinetic stimulations in order to assess how different doses and schedules affect the plasma profile of AFM13. 
 The AFM13 dose of 1.5
mg/kg given once a week in the Phase I study was found to be the lowest dose at which a partial response was observed. A question arising out of this finding is whether administering the same dose more frequently would increase the response rate.
The simulations have shown that minimal and maximal steady state concentrations of this dose given 2 times or 3 times a week were not much different. Therefore, the twice a week schedule for the future phase II study was selected, as it would be
more convenient to patients.

 When comparing 4.5 mg/kg dosed twice a week and 3 mg/kg dosed 3 times a week, it appeared that 3 mg/kg dosed 3 times a week
provided higher Cmin concentrations, whilst 4.5 mg/kg twice a week showed much higher peak, but lower trough concentrations. Assuming that the peak concentration on its own, as seen with 7
mg/kg, is not the main contributor to efficacy, 3 mg/kg 3 times a week for the phase II study were selected, as it provides the most consistent plasma concentrations. 
  





 
 In conclusion, after various PK simulations the following two dose schedules will be used in the phase IIa study: 

 

	 	1.	1.5mg/kg twice weekly, and 

  

	 	2.	3mg/kg 3 times weekly 

 Based on these simulations, the differences between the anticipated minimal
concentrations and maximal concentrations of the two regimens would be sufficiently wide to enable detection of the superior regimen. 
 Summary on
the chosen Phase IIa study design and patient selection criteria 
 The proposed AFM13 Phase IIa study design is based on the Gehan design which uses
a two stage design. This kind of clinical study design is widely used for the development of new drug candidates, especially in oncology. 
 In order to
show the 3 30% OR, Affimed will recruit during stage 1 of this Phase IIa 9 patients for each dosing schedule. If there is at least one OR in stage 1, stage 2 will be initiated, and additional 16 patients
will be treated with that dose regimen of stage 1 which performed best. In total, 34 eligible patients are required to show the statistical significance for a 3 30 %OR.

 Based on very recent data of our AFM13 Phase I clinical trial we have to consider a ~15% “drop-out”
rate. This means that Affimed will have to recruit up to 40 patients in order to achieve the lower limit of 34 eligible patients. The inclusion criteria for this Phase IIa will be more restrictive as compared to the Phase I, e.g. lower number of
previous therapies (for further details please refer to section “patient criteria” above). However, all patients who will be included in this trial, had received as one of their prior therapies the antibody drug conjugate Adcetris. 

Note: For more details and background information on the Phase IIa design based on Gehan, please refer to page 31ff. 

VII) Conclusion on the further development of AFM13 

Manufacturing. A robust and scalable manufacturing process is established which ensures the material supply for all clinical developmental steps
as well as the early market needs. The Drug Product has a shelf life of more than ***** years, which is – for a biological therapeutic – remarkable. 

Benign safety profile and encouraging efficacy in Phase I. Up to now (status March 2013) half of the patients treated with AFM13 showed clear
signs of benefit. Moreover, in the 13 patients treated with 1.5mg/kg and higher doses, 2 partial responses and 7 stable diseases were observed. This encouraging data warrants the further development of AFM13 in phase II to assess its efficacy in
better prognosis Hodgkin Lymphoma patients. In addition, the excellent safety profile of AFM13 is an especially attractive feature of this potential drug. 

Medical need in HL. Especially the benign safety profile of AFM13 will allow a positioning in several therapeutic settings in HL. Although the
cure rate of HL is relatively high, there is still a very high medical need for some patient groups: for elderly patients where chemotherapy is contra-indicated, for high risk patients with high relapse rate and finally for relapsed or refractory
patients. At the moment no immunotherapeutic treatment is available for HL and the initially very impressive data of Brentuximab vedotin are – in the patients’ perspective – conflicting: very high response rates combined with severe
side effects and a median duration of response of 6 to 7 months. Although targeted by an antibody, Brentuximab vedotin is “only” an additional chemotherapeutic with limited applicability in the treatment of HL patients. In this context,
AFM13 has potential as 3rd line therapy for relapsed and refractory HL patients as well as 1st / 2nd line therapy. KOLs suggested that AFM13
should not only be developed in 3rd line as a salvage therapy but, in addition, in *****. 
 Development path and timelines. The starting
point for the further clinical development is the production of GMP compliant AFM13 Drug Product and the recruitment for the Phase IIa study. However, since the GMP production process is established and since the recruitment of Phase I was faster
than anticipated, that the timelines for the study would be: start in ***** and completion in *****.

Project structure and process 
 The project can be

clinical activities are mainly performed by external service providers. Affimed has established a good and trustful relationship to its partners, so it can be assumed that the already selected and contracted service providers will be at
Affimed’s disposal for the continuation of the AFM13 project. However, Affimed’s personnel will be responsible for initiating, monitoring and controlling all activities. Therefore the budget comprises

 Competitive Intellectual Property Landscape 

Introduction 
 Currently no other immunotherapeutic is
available for the treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma or other CD30+ positive malignancies. The recently marketed Seattle Genetics product Adcetris® (Brentuximab-vendotin) is labeled for use in refractory or relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma patients.
However, the IgG part of Brentuximab vedotin is only for targeting the drug; the cytotoxic activity is provided by an auristatine derivative. It is considered to be another chemotherapeutic approach. Several years ago, some real immunotherapeutic
treatments were developed based on monoclonal antibodies, Fc-enhanced IgGs and bispecific antibodies, but these approaches were discontinued due to the lack of efficacy. 

Antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs) 
 Adcetris®
(Brentuximab vedotin) is a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate indicated for (i) the treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma after failure of autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) or after failure of at least two prior multi-agent
chemotherapy regimens in patients who are not ASCT candidates and (ii) the treatment of patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma after failure of at least one prior multi-agent chemotherapy regimen. These indications are based on
objective response rate (ORR). There is no data available demonstrating improvement in patient-reported outcomes or survival with Brentuximab vedotin. ORR of Brentuximab vedotin in HL patients was 73% (CR: 32.5%; PR: 40.5%) with a median duration of
response of 6.7 months. There is significant toxicity associated with Brentuximab vedotin of the following disorders: (i) blood and lymphatic system disorders (e.g. neutropenia), (ii) nervous system disorders (e.g. peripheral sensory
neuropathy), (iii) general disorders and administration site conditions or (iv) gastrointestinal disorders. In addition, a significant proportion of patients showed grade 3 and 4 toxicities. In conclusion, although Brentuximab vedotin
showed impressive ORR in salvage HL [and ALCL patients], its duration of response and its side effect profile are clear weaknesses that can be addressed by a safer and more durable therapy. 

Monoclonal antibodies 
 BMS has investigated MDX-060, a
fully human antibody targeting CD30. Preclinical studies suggest that MDX-060 antibody may induce tumor regression through direct inhibition of cellular proliferation or through the recruitment of immune effector cells. The chimeric antibody SGN-030
of Seattle Genetics has a similar mode-of-action. Recently, these antibodies showed disappointing results in phase II clinical studies with a small portion of partial remissions (0-6%) and stable disease. Both companies have therefore replaced these
products with antibodies with improved effector function (MDX-1401) or with an anti-CD30-immunetoxin-conjugate (SGN-35). In addition, Xencor has developed an antibody with improved effector function (XmAb-2513). Neither the treatment with MDX-1401
nor XmAb-2513 lead to improved outcomes versus the predecessor antibodies and currently none of such antibodies is continued in further clinical studies. 

Other bi-specific antibody constructs 
 Several years ago,
two bi-specific antibodies were investigated in clinical trials by Biotest and Medarex, respectively. The natural killer cell-activating anti-CD16/CD30 bispecific monoclonal antibody (BiMAb) had shown efficacy in a Phase I/II trial of refractory
Hodgkin Lymphoma. A total of 16 heavily pretreated patients received one to four BiMAb courses. Overall, 1 CR and 3 PR were observed. A bispecific molecule (H22xKi-4) comprising anti-CD30 and anti-CD64 F(ab’)


  

			
	Confidential	  	70









 
fragments was investigated in patients with refractory HL. In the dose-escalation study ten patients were enrolled. Response to H22xKi-4 included 1 CR, 3 PR, and 4 SD. Both BiMab and H22xKi-4
appeared to be safe and well tolerated. Although both antibodies showed highly promising results in HL patients, the development of such compounds could not be continued due to manufacturing and scale-up issues. 

So far, no immunotherapeutic has been approved for the treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma. However, based on encouraging clinical results of a bi-specific
(CD30/CD16) hybridoma antibody (Blood (1997) 89:2042 and Clin. Cancer Res. (2001) 7:1873), Affimed has developed a novel bispecific antibody, called AFM13. 

Comparison of AFM13 with other immunotherapies 
 AFM13 has
demonstrated superior ADCC properties on several Hodgkin Lymphoma and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) cell lines relative to an Fc-enhanced anti-CD30 antibody. The EC50 has been increased
by more than 10-fold. Moreover, in human serum the ADCC of AFM13 was similar to that in standard assay buffers, whereas the activity of the Fc-enhanced antibody was dramatically reduced; the reason is that the anti-CD16A moiety does not compete with
polyclonal IgG in human blood and the binding of CD16A by TandAbs is not affected by Fcg receptor polymorphism, unlike existing therapeutic antibodies such as Rituximab. Therefore, we expect better
clinical efficacy, lower doses with reduced treatment costs, and fewer side effects to achieve equivalent efficacy. 
 Comparison of AFM13 with
Brentuximab vedotin 
 AFM13 has shown a better safety profile than Brentuximab vedotin. Although Brentuximab vedotin is based on an anti-CD30 antibody,
its toxicity is primarily due to its chemical payload, the microtubule disrupting agent MMAE (monomethyl auristatin E). Brentuximab vedotin therefore shows a side effect profile similar to other chemotherapeutic agents. In contrast to this, AFM13
has shown a very benign safety profile in the dose-escalation trial with grade 1 and 2 infusion related side effects. AFM13 is further differentiating from Brentuximab vedotin due to its mode of action. While Brentuximab vedotin requires both CD30
internalization and actively dividing Reed Sternberg cells, AFM13 simply relies on binding to CD30 positive cells and the engagement of NK-cells. Therefore, CD30 positive Reed Sternberg cells can be killed without the requirement of CD30
internalization or active cell division. In particular, minimal residual diseases (MRD) can be addressed with AFM13. Due to the benign safety profile of AFM13, the drug should have a significant advantage over Brentuximab vedotin in a combination
with existing chemotherapy in 1st or 2nd line therapy. In addition, AFM13’s different mode of action as compared to chemotherapy or Brentuximab vedotin can target non dividing malignant cells and minimal residual disease, which may contribute
to time to relapse. ABVD and BEACOPP are established 1st and 2nd line therapies since many years; however, are also highly toxic. A combination of Brentuximab vedotin with ABVD could not be pursued due to pulmonary toxicity and Brentuximab vedotin
is currently investigated in combination with AVD.

 Currently, only Brentuximab
vedotin (Adcetris®) is registered for this indication and AFM13 may be given either prior to Brentuximab vedotin or after Brentuximab vedotin treatment. As Brentuximab vedotin has a short
duration of response and cannot keep patients in remission long term or even cure patients, there is a high medical need for such patients.

After completion of the phase IIa, Affimed plans to further develop AFM13 either on its own or in a partnership. 

 

	 	•	 	Affimed would have to raise cash to fund the further clinical development. Our plans are to raise $50-70M through a public offering (IPO). We have tested the feasibility of such an offering by meeting with private and
public investors. The feedback has been that, once positive phase IIa data are available, Affimed would be perceived as a candidate for an IPO. 

  

	 	•	 	Affimed recently met with >10 companies to discuss a partnership and there is a substantial interest in AFM13. However, at this stage the company prefers to perform the phase IIa on its own and partner at a later
stage. Affimed’s goal is to enter a global partnership with a major player in the field of lymphomas either after phase IIa or prior to approval of the first indication.

 Gehan Design in oncology studies 

To determine the number of patients required for a phase II trial, different multistage designs have been developed. The first design was proposed by Gehan in
1961 and is still being widely used. It is a two-stage design which allows for the rapid rejection of an ineffective treatment at the end of the first stage, and provides an estimation of the success rate with a given precision, at the end of the
second stage. 
 Gehan proposed a method to calculate the minimum sample size required to estimate the response rate with a given degree of precision, under
the precondition that the study would be terminated early if there was 95% confidence that the response rate was less than a target response rate of interest (usually a response of 20%). In this classic design, 14 patients (corresponding to the
response rate of 20%), or 9 patients (corresponding to the response rate of 30%) are treated initially, and if no responses are observed, the drug is considered inactive. On the other hand, if at least one response is observed, additional patients
are enrolled and the response rate is estimated. Thus, the Gehan design combines elements of estimation and hypothesis testing. 
 In statistics, the
hypothesis testing is generally organized around the concept of null and alternative hypotheses. Usually, the alternative hypothesis is what the investigator/sponsor hopes is true, and the null hypothesis is what the investigator/sponsor hopes is
not true. It is essential that these two hypotheses are constructed in such a way that one or the other must be true. The data analysis focuses on testing the null hypothesis. If the null hypothesis is rejected (i.e., Ho: pr £ 5% versus, or Ha: pr3 20%, or Ha: pr3 30%), then one can accept the alternative hypothesis. Usually the null hypothesis states that there is no difference between two observations.
Therefore, if this hypothesis is rejected, the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference between two observations is accepted. This approach has raised a lot of questions as the alternative hypothesis would be accepted even without being
tested. Simon and Fleming introduced different statistical approaches offering more outcome options. Nevertheless, even such designs were not sufficient to show that the alternative hypothesis is true in cases when the null hypothesis is rejected.

 To overcome the problem of accepting the untested hypothesis, Gehan swapped the null and alternative hypotheses. So the hypothesis tested during the
initial stage of the study is that the drug is active (the response rate is higher than a pre-determined minimal response rate of interest).This is the null hypothesis. If none out of 14 (for the difference of 20%), or 9 (for the difference of 30%)
patients responds this hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis, that the drug is not active enough to achieve a 20%, or 30% response, is accepted. In this design, the investigators/sponsor would hope that the null hypothesis is
true, which is an unusual scenario for statistics in clinical trials.

 It is accepted that two types of error can occur when applying statistics in clinical trials: 

 

	•	 	Type I error, an a error, or a “false positive”, is the error of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is actually true. In order to reduce this type of error, the
convention is to take a small a value (i.e. 5%). 

  

	•	 	Type II error, a b error, or a “false negative” is the error of failing to reject a null hypothesis when it is in fact not true. In this type of error the b value is accepted as being 10%. 

 Affimed’s calculation follows these principles and for Stage
1 Affimed suggests selecting the sample size based on the precision (a) of 5%. For the phase IIa study, the sample size for Stage 2, it is suggested adopting the lower precision of 10%. However, for the
phase IIb it should be considered to adopt again the higher precision of 5%. 
 Two Stage Gehan Design: 

 

	 	•	 	No control (only historical data) 

  

	 	•	 	Two stages (double sampling) 

  

	 	•	 	Goal is to reject ineffective drugs ASAP 

  

					
	Decision I:	  	Drug is unlikely to be effective	  	in 3 x% of patients
	Decision II:	  	Drug could be effective	  	in 3 x% of patients

  

	 	A.	Let x% = 20% (drug likely to work in at least 20% of patients) 

  

	 	1.	Enter 14 patients 

  

	 	2.	If 0/14 responses, stop and declare true drug response £20% 

  

	 	3.	If 31/14 responses, add 15-40 more patients 

  

	 	4.	Estimate response rate & 95% C.I. 

  

	 	B.	Let x% = 30% (drug likely to work in at least 30% of patients) 

  

	 	1.	Enter 9 patients 

  

	 	2.	If 0/9 responses, stop and declare true drug response £30% 

  

	 	3.	If 31/9 responses, add 70-91 (for SE5%), or 11-16 (for SE10%) more patients 

  

	 	4.	Estimate response rate & 95% C.I.
