TYME Technologies, Inc. Provides Update on Precision Promise Trial in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

— SM-88 with MPS arm of Phase 2/3 platform trial in metastatic pancreatic cancer discontinued for futility on primary endpoint of overall survival –

BEDMINSTER, N.J.— (BUSINESS WIRE) January 26, 2022—TYME Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TYME) (the Company or TYME), an emerging biotechnology company developing cancer metabolism-based therapies (CMBTs^™), today announced the discontinuation of SM-88 with MPS in the Precision Promise trial in metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPDAC) upon learning from the trial sponsor, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), that it terminated the arm due to futility compared to the control of standard of care chemotherapy in second-line mPDAC. Based on the information provided by PanCAN, the overall survival for SM-88 with MPS in monotherapy was lower compared to standard of care chemotherapies with either Gemcitabine and Abraxane or modified FOLFIRINOX.

The Precision Promise trial is an adaptive randomized Phase 2/3 trial in mPDAC for patients treated in both first-line and second-line therapies. SM-88 (racemetyrosine) with MPS (10 mg methoxsalen, 50 mg phenytoin, and 0.5 mg sirolimus) was the first therapy to join this trial and was being studied as a standalone monotherapy in second-line patients versus control arms of standard of care regimens of either Gemcitabine and Abraxane or modified FOLFIRINOX.

“Given pancreatic cancer’s high mortality rate, we wanted to make a difference in the lives of these patients. Our team understood that many efforts before us have failed, but based on SM-88’s prior activity and safety profile, we were hopeful we could provide an effective new option for those fighting against this devastating disease,” said Richie Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of TYME. “I want to express my sincerest appreciation to the patients, their loved ones, the researchers, and the principal investigators involved in this trial, as well as thank PanCAN and Precision Promise for their passionate dedication to exploring new treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients.”

“Given our prior promising results with SM-88 plus MPS in a subset of patients in second-line pancreatic cancer¹, we are disappointed that we couldn’t make an impact in this very difficult to treat population.

We will work with PanCAN and Precision Promise leadership to further analyze the data with the SM-88 arm, as it becomes available,” said Dr. Jan M. Van Tornout, MD, MSC, Acting Chief Medical Officer of TYME.

TYME remains committed to advancing its current pipeline and the continued research and development of SM-88.

About TYME Technologies, Inc.

TYME is an emerging biotechnology company developing cancer metabolism-based therapies (CMBTs^™) that are intended to be effective across a broad range of solid tumors and hematologic cancers, while also maintaining patients’ quality of life through relatively low toxicity profiles. Unlike targeted therapies that attempt to regulate specific mutations within cancer, the Company’s therapeutic approach is designed to take advantage of a cancer cell’s innate metabolic weaknesses to cause cancer cell death.

The Company is currently focused on developing its novel compound, SM-88. The Company believes that early clinical results demonstrated by SM-88 in multiple advanced cancers, including prostate, sarcomas and breast, reinforce the potential of its emerging CMBT^™ pipeline.

About SM-88

SM-88 is an oral investigational modified proprietary tyrosine derivative that is believed to interrupt the metabolic processes of cancer cells by breaking down the cells’ key defenses and leading to cell death through oxidative stress and exposure to the body’s natural immune system. Clinical trial data have shown that SM-88 has demonstrated encouraging tumor responses across 15 different cancers, including lung, breast, prostate and sarcoma cancers with minimal serious grade 3 or higher adverse events. SM-88 is being evaluated in a Phase II study evaluating SM-88 in breast cancer (HR+/HER2-), as well as continuing enrollment of a Phase II study in high-risk metastatic sarcomas. SM-88 is an investigational therapy that is not approved for any indication in any disease.
