CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jounce Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNCE), a clinical-stage company focused on the discovery and development of novel cancer immunotherapies and predictive biomarkers, today announced the appointment of Dmitri Wiederschain, Ph.D., as Chief Scientific Officer. “The addition of Dmitri to the Jounce team comes at an exciting juncture in our company development,” said Richard Murray, Ph.D., chief executive officer and president of Jounce Therapeutics. “Dmitri brings a broad knowledge of contemporary immuno-oncology approaches, tumor immunology and cancer biology. His expertise with preclinical target discovery and first-in-human research will provide us with invaluable contributions in our work towards delivering the right immunotherapies to the right patients.” “Jounce’s scientific approach to interrogating the tumor microenvironment is what drew me to the company. With a career deeply rooted in cancer biology and immuno-oncology drug discovery, I believe that Jounce is strongly positioned to make a meaningful impact on today’s therapeutic landscape,” said Dmitri Wiederschain, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Jounce Therapeutics. “With an exciting discovery pipeline and engine, I am looking forward to collaborating closely with the team to continue to advance not only our two proof of concept studies, but also new discovery programs.” Dr. Wiederschain brings more than 15 years of pharmaceutical industry experience as a scientific leader and drug developer. Dr. Wiederschain joins Jounce from Sanofi, where he held roles of increasing responsibility over the course of 11 years and helped build a pipeline encompassing a diverse array of immuno-oncology approaches. Most recently, he was vice president and global head of immuno-oncology research where he oversaw projects from conception to IND stage, built productive partnerships and research collaborations and advanced 10 development candidates into the clinic while leading a large international team of scientists in both the U.S. and France. Prior to joining Sanofi, Dr. Wiederschain was an investigator and laboratory head of discovery biology, and prior to that a presidential post-doctoral fellow in oncology at Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research. He has also co-authored 45 publications in peer-reviewed journals to date. Dr. Wiederschain holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and an A.L.B. in Natural Sciences from Harvard University. In connection with Dr. Wiederschain’s appointment, the compensation committee of Jounce’s Board of Directors has approved the grant of a non-qualified stock option award to purchase an aggregate of 225,000 shares of Jounce’s common stock to him. The grant date of the stock option will be May 1, 2021, and the stock option will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of Jounce’s common stock on May 1, 2021. The stock option was granted outside of Jounce’s 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as an inducement material to Dr. Wiederschain’s acceptance of employment with Jounce in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The stock option has a 10-year term and vests over four years, with 25% of the award vesting on the first anniversary of his employment, and as to an additional 1/12th of the shares quarterly thereafter, subject to Dr. Wiederschain’s continued employment through applicable vesting dates (subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option agreement covering the grant).

Jounce Therapeutics Presents Preclinical Data from JTX-8064/LILRB2 Program at the 2021 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting
-Translational analysis of patients that do not respond to PD-(L)1 inhibitors show high pretreatment intratumoral LILRB2 expression relative to an IFNγ gene signature- - JTX-8064’s mechanism of action to reprogram macrophages can bridge innate immune cell activity to T cell adaptive immunity in preclinical models- CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jounce Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNCE), a clinical-stage company focused on the discovery and development of novel cancer immunotherapies and predictive biomarkers, today reported new preclinical data on JTX-8064, the first tumor-associated macrophage program from their Translational Science Platform, at the 2021 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Virtual Annual Meeting being held April 10-15, 2021. The poster presentation includes data showing a high Leukocyte Immunoglobulin Like Receptor B2 (LILRB2) to interferon gamma (IFNγ) ratio is associated with resistance to PD-(L)1 inhibitor treatment in humans, JTX-8064’s ability to bridge innate and adaptive immunity, and how Jounce’s Translational Science Platform informed indication selection for the Phase 1 INNATE trial. “The translational analyses presented at AACR link JTX-8064’s mechanism to tumor types that may respond better to LILRB2 inhibition,” said Elizabeth Trehu, M.D., chief medical officer of Jounce Therapeutics. “The Phase 1 INNATE trial is designed to move as quickly as possible to proof of concept and this new data enabled the prioritization of tumor-specific expansion cohorts, which are on track to start enrolling in the second half of 2021. Furthermore, the negative prognostic implications of a high LILRB2 to IFNγ ratio support the role of LILRB2 in resistance to PD-(L)1 inhibitors and highlight the potential for JTX-8064 to reverse this resistance.” In a poster titled “Tumor associated macrophages and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade: Consideration of cancer indications for the clinical development of JTX-8064, an anti-LILRB2/ILT4 monoclonal antibody” Jounce demonstrated: JTX-8064 can induce T cell activation in co-culture with macrophages, demonstrating its potential to bridge the gap between innate and adaptive immune responses;CD163+ M2 macrophages co-localize with T cells in the tumor microenvironment, and patients with high levels of LILRB2 or a proprietary tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) signature score relative to an IFNγ signature score are less responsive to PD-(L)1 inhibitors, providing evidence that LILRB2+ macrophages may be involved in mechanisms of primary resistance to PD-(L)1 inhibitors; and Expression profiles of LILRB2 mRNA, TAM signatures, and other inflammatory cell signatures were used to identify tumor types that may benefit most from JTX-8064 treatment and used to inform indication selection for expansion cohorts of the Phase 1 INNATE trial. The poster is available on the “Our Pipeline” section of the Jounce Therapeutics website at www.jouncetx.com. About JTX-8064 JTX-8064 is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody designed to specifically bind to Leukocyte Immunoglobulin Like Receptor B2 (LILRB2/ILT4) and block interactions with its ligands. JTX-8064 is the first tumor-associated macrophage candidate developed from Jounce’s Translational Science Platform. Preclinical data presented at the 2020 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s Annual Meeting and the 2019 and 2021 American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meetings support the development of JTX-8064 as a novel immunotherapy to reprogram immune-suppressive macrophages and enhance anti-tumor immunity. A Phase 1 clinical trial named INNATE (NCT04669899), of JTX-8064 as a monotherapy and in combination with either JTX-4014, or pembrolizumab, is currently enrolling patients with advanced solid tumors.
