As experts in cytokine biology, our clinical stage pipeline comprises five cytokine-derived therapeutic candidates, with our lead proprietary compound, SON-1010, in Phase 1 development. Closely following are SON-080, in Phase 1b/2a development, and three other candidates undergoing preclinical study.
Sonnet’s proprietary FHAB™ (Fully Human Albumin Binding) technology enables the development of innovative targeted biologic drugs with enhanced single- or bi-specific mechanisms. The FHAB™ platform utilizes a fully human single chain antibody fragment (scFv) that binds to and “hitchhikes” on human serum albumin (HSA) for transport to target tissues. Our internal focus is immune oncology, however, we believe our technology is suited for drug development across the spectrum of human disease.
Sonnet’s FHAB construct attaches to albumin in the bloodstream, which significantly enhances the pharmacokinetics of the active drug substance. It also naturally accumulates at inflammation sites, including tumors, thereby potentiating delivery to target tissues. Our platform has demonstrated a tenfold increase in half-life and a greater-than-thirtyfold increase in efficacy as compared to recombinant interleukins without FHAB in preclinical studies. We believe the versatile platform can generate a large immune oncology pipeline, including combinations with a variety of biologic drugs. The Sonnet platform is differentiated in that FHAB utilizes a fully human sequence with a human glycosylation profile that can be manufactured using a standard CHO process.

OVERVIEW
Oncobiologics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, developing, manufacturing and commercializing complex biosimilar therapeutics. Our current focus is on technically challenging and commercially attractive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), in the disease areas of immunology and oncology. Our strategy is to cost-effectively develop these biosimilars on an accelerated timeline, which is fundamental to our success and we believe positions us to be a leading biosimilar company.
We have leveraged our team’s biopharmaceutical expertise to establish fully integrated in-house development and manufacturing capabilities, which we refer to as our BioSymphony™ Platform. Oncobiologics’ platform addresses the numerous complex technical and regulatory challenges in developing and commercializing mAb biosimilars and was designed to provide significant pricing flexibility.
PIPELINE
Oncobiologics is currently developing a portfolio of eight commercially attractive mAb biosimilars. The company’s most advanced assets, ONS-3010 (a biosimilar of Humira®) and ONS-1045 (a biosimilar of Avastin®) have both successfully completed Phase I trials. We have initiated Phase 3 preparatory activities for ONS-3010 and ONS-1045.`
STRATEGY
Oncobiologics utilizes its BioSymphony Platform to develop, manufacture and commercialize technically challenging, cost-effective biosimilars on an accelerated timeline and to offer contract development and manufacturing services to development stage biologics companies.
