About OS Therapies

OS Therapies is excited to be partnering with Shelter Me. OS Therapies is a biotechnology company developing treatments for Osteosarcoma (OS) and other solid tumors in humans and canines. OST-HER2 is an immunotherapy leveraging the immune-stimulatory effects of bacteria to initiate a strong immune response targeting the HER2 protein. In Osteosarcoma, OST-HER2 has completed Phase I & Phase III trials in canines and recently a Phase IIb clinical trial in humans, these were highlighted in “Shelter Me: The Cancer Pioneers".

In humans, OST-HER2 has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) from the US Food & Drug Administration and Fast-Track and Orphan Drug designations from the US FDA. The Company reported positive data in its Phase 2b clinical trial of OST-HER2 in recurrent, fully resected, lung metastatic osteosarcoma demonstrating statistically significant benefit in the 12-month event free survival (EFS) primary endpoint of the study. The Company anticipates submitting a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) to the US FDA for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma in 2025 and, if approved, would become eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher that it could then sell. OST-HER2 has completed a Phase 1 clinical study primarily in breast cancer patients, in addition to showing preclinical efficacy data in various models of breast cancer. In canines, OST-HER2 has been conditionally approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

In addition, OS Therapies is advancing its next-generation Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) and Drug Conjugates (DC), known as tunable ADC (tADC), which features tunable, tailored antibody-linker-payload candidates. This platform leverages the Company's proprietary silicone Si-Linker and Conditionally Active Payload (CAP) technology, enabling the delivery of multiple payloads per linker.
