MaaT Pharma Announces Two Poster Presentations for MaaT013 and MaaT033 at the Upcoming ASH Conference

  • Poster 1 presents Early Access Program (EAP) data for 111 patients with acute Graft-vs-Host Disease (aGvHD) treated with MaaT013.
  • Poster 2 details the Phase 2b randomized, double-blinded study evaluating MaaT033 to enhance overall survival in allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation patients.
  • For the seventh consecutive year, MaaT Pharma’s abstracts have been selected for presentation at the ASH Annual Meeting, reinforcing the Company’s leadership in microbiome/hematology-oncology.

Lyon, France, November 2, 2023 –6:00 pm CET – MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT – the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotech company and a leader in the development of Microbiome Ecosystem TherapiesTM (MET) dedicated to improving survival outcomes for patients with cancer, announced today that extended results from its Early Access Program of MaaT013 in 111 patients (additional 30 patients included in the Program compared to last year) with aGvHD and the design of its Phase 2b study evaluating MaaT033 in improving overall survival in patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) have been selected for poster presentations at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting held from December 9-12, 2023, in San Diego, California, USA. This is the seventh year in a row that the Company’s clinical data and activities have been selected for a presentation at the ASH Annual Meeting, the world-leading event in malignant and non-malignant hematology, demonstrating the ongoing interest from clinicians for microbiome modulation approaches in the hemato-oncology field.

In line with the conference embargo policy, MaaT Pharma will detail the presented results through a press release on Monday, December 11th, 2023. The Company will also host an investor webcast on Monday, December 18th, 2023, at 6:00pm CET (further details to follow).

The EAP results include data from 111 patients with steroid-resistant or steroid-dependent aGvHD treated with MaaT013, previously unresponsive to 1-6 lines of therapy. MaaT013 is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 trial (n=75) for corticosteroid- and ruxolitinib-refractory gastrointestinal aGvHD. The Company shared the positive review by DSMB in October 2023 for this Phase 3 trial, including a favorable benefit/risk ratio, with a good safety profile and positive preliminary efficacy results. As of today, over 170 patients have been safely treated with MaaT013 in Europe in clinical trials and the EAP.

The Company provides an update on MaaT033, an oral ecosystem microbiome capsule for adjunctive therapy, and will share the design of the Phase 2b trial, the largest randomized clinical trial (RCT) study for a microbiome therapy in hemato-oncology to date with the enrollment of 387 patients, investigating the efficacy of MaaT033 in improving overall survival for patients receiving allo-HSCT.
