Subsequent to that date, the Company announced the engagement of Oppenheimer &amp; Co., Inc. to serve as the Company's exclusive financial adviser to assist in the review and evaluation of that process.

Additionally, while the Company has discontinued the clinical development of voruciclib, certain non-clinical activities related to the Company's drug candidates continue to be conducted.
There can be no assurance the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any agreements or transactions, or, if completed, any agreements or transactions will be successful or on attractive terms.

– MEI Pharma Board Unanimously Determines, Based on Clinical Data Results, Not to Proceed with Second Capital Return Under 2023 Anson and Cable Car Cooperation Agreement: Conserving Capital, Prioritizing Measured Investment, Extending Operational Runway –
MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEIP#NASDAQ">MEIP</a>), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company evaluating novel drug candidates to address known resistance mechanisms to standard-of-care cancer therapies, today reported that the Company's Board of Directors unanimously agreed on a strategic plan to leverage recent positive voruciclib and ME-344 clinical data to prioritize clinical development of voruciclib while enabling development of a new ME-344 formulation for Phase 1 study. Additionally, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously determined not to proceed with a second return of capital under the October 31, 2023 Anson Funds and Cable Car Capital cooperation agreement in order to conserve resources and align strategic investment, and thereby extend the Company's operational runway.
"We are very fortunate as a development-stage therapeutics company to have two very promising oncology candidates, voruciclib and ME-344, that continue to generate data supporting their potential as novel therapeutics to benefit patients with cancer. With the MEI Board aligned around our strategy, we have a productive framework to advance both clinical programs in a manner intended to address significant medical needs while prioritizing a measured and objective-based allocation of our resources," said David Urso, president and chief executive officer of MEI Pharma. "Voruciclib, our investigational oral CDK9 inhibitor, in combination with venetoclax is being developed to treat patients with relapsed/refractory AML without an actionable mutation, representing a potential opportunity to address more patients in a mutation agnostic approach than mutation specific therapies such as FLT3, IDH or menin inhibitors. In addition, investigational ME-344 has the potential to treat patients across many types of solid tumors through a novel therapeutic strategy in combination with VEGF inhibitors, such as Avastin&#xAE;, to create synthetic lethality in tumor cells."
"The entire MEI Board is pleased to unanimously align around a strategy that we believe is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders, with the intent to optimize the opportunity to judiciously advance both of the voruciclib and ME-344 development programs," stated Taheer Datoo, director of MEI Pharma and principal and portfolio manager of Anson Funds. "Under the strategy, use of capital is measured and balanced to achieve key clinical objectives designed to optimize the development potential these product candidates hold to advance the standard of care for patients with cancer while also optimizing the interests of our shareholders."
Mr. Datoo continued: "As we move forward, we have every confidence that execution of the strategy is in good hands with the MEI leadership team. They have significant experience in the clinical development of oncology therapeutics and are well suited to achieve success for patients and for the Company's shareholders."
Return of Capital Determination
As previously disclosed, the Company's October 31, 2023 Cooperation Agreement with stockholders, including Anson Funds and Cable Car Capital, provided that a potential second return of capital could be authorized by the Board under certain circumstances as outlined in that agreement, subject to the exercise of the Board's fiduciary duties. Since data reported from Cohort 1 of the Phase 1b study exceeded a criterion for the potential second return of capital stated in the Agreement, the trigger for a return of capital was not met. The Board further unanimously determined, after deciding not to proceed with Cohort 2, that in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and in light of its views on what path is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders, the Company would not proceed with any additional potential return of capital as permitted under the Cooperation Agreement.
Strategic Overview
The strategy unanimously approved by the MEI Board of Directors provides for advancing clinical development of voruciclib, an investigational selective oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 ("CDK9") inhibitor, to new value inflection points by the end of calendar year 2025 and for enabling a new formulation of ME-344, an investigational inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ("OXPHOS"). The plan builds on encouraging recently reported voruciclib clinical data and ME-344 data separately reported today.
Specifically with respect to voruciclib, the development objective is to optimize voruciclib for a Phase 3 study in combination with venetoclax (Venclexta&#xAE;) in patients with relapsed and refractory ("R/R") acute myeloid leukemia ("AML"). Under the plan, the ongoing voruciclib development strategy will be guided by future clinical trial results and applicable regulatory authority advice. Subject to positive Phase 1 data later this year, MEI plans to amend the ongoing Phase 1 study to add a Phase 2 study arm, with enrollment in the Phase 2 arm anticipated to begin in 2025. This is anticipated to generate Phase 2 data by the end of 2025. Contingent on the success of the Phase 1/2 study, MEI plans to have the program ready to initiate a Phase 3 registration trial during 2026.
With regards to ME-344, the plan is to develop a new formulation for further clinical development to better leverage the opportunity to advance a novel approach to inducing synthetic lethality in tumors in combination with VEGF inhibitors such as bevacizumab (Avastin&#xAE;). The Company has already initiated research and development activity of the new formulation with encouraging results, with the goal of increasing biological activity, improving convenience of administration and increasing commercial opportunity. Interrupting ME-344 clinical activity and developing a new formulation will immediately reduce ME-344 expenditures.
Voruciclib
The Company recently reported initiation of enrollment in an expansion cohort of the ongoing Phase 1 study evaluating voruciclib plus venetoclax (Venclexta&#xAE;), a B-cell lymphoma 2 ("BCL2") inhibitor, in R/R AML. The decision to open the expansion cohort was based on encouraging initial data demonstrating anti-leukemic activity, including complete responses in heavily pretreated patients. Additionally, at doses of 100 mg or more, initial results from correlative biomarker assay analyses of available samples from patients treated with the combination demonstrated anticipated decreases of myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein ("Mcl-1"), including a greater decrease in Mcl-1 at higher doses. Reductions in Mcl-1 are consistent with the known mechanism of action of CDK9. Further, there was no evidence of overlapping toxicity with venetoclax and no dose limiting toxicities were observed.
Increasingly, venetoclax is being used as a standard treatment in patients with AML, but salvage therapy after venetoclax failure is common and yields limited benefit; only about 10% of patients respond to salvage therapy after venetoclax failure, representing a significant need for patients with AML. While mutation specific therapies, such as FLT3, IDH, and menin inhibitors, may be used in patients with such mutations, the majority of patients with AML do not have therapeutically actionable mutations. Thus, inhibition of CDK9 is a mutation agnostic therapeutic opportunity across the majority of patients with R/R AML, representing an addressable patient population larger than that of any mutation specific therapy.
ME-344
As separately reported today, based on initial study results, 25% of evaluable patients with relapsed metastatic colorectal cancer ("mCRC") enrolled in Cohort 1 of the ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin&#xAE;) reached a predetermined 16-week progression free survival ("PFS") threshold, exceeding the 20% threshold set in the Clinical Study Protocol. Patients were heavily pretreated and had failed standard therapies for their disease. The combination was also observed to have a generally well-tolerated safety profile.
The recently reported data represent new clinical support of the potential of ME-344 in combination with VEGF inhibitors such as bevacizumab to induce synthetic lethality in tumors; this is a novel therapeutic strategy to potentially provide benefit to patients in a well-tolerated manner. Further, there is a significant medical need to provide patients with colorectal cancer new treatment options in light of the fact that deaths from this disease are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and given that the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing among those under 55.
While the threshold was met to proceed to Cohort 2, the Company believes the best approach to meet the need of patients with mCRC, and potentially patients with other cancers where VEGF inhibitors are standard-of-care, is to continue to advance ME-344 via development of a new formulation, building upon the ME-344 results to date. The Company believes that development of a new formulation represents the optimal approach to leveraging the potential of the program and the novel therapeutic strategy to induce synthetic lethality in tumors via the combination. The goal of the formulation effort is to increase biological activity, improve patient convenience of administration and increase commercial opportunity. This plan will reduce short-term expenditures on the ME-344 program and ultimately, if successful, create an enhanced formulation for continued clinical development

MEI Pharma Aligns On Strategy To Advance Voruciclib And ME-344

– Cohort 1 Exceeds Predetermined Non-Progression Threshold in the Ongoing Phase 1b Study –
– ME-344 in Combination with Bevacizumab was Generally Well-tolerated with no Evidence of Overlapping Toxicity –
– MEI to Continue Advancing ME-344 via Development of a New Formulation with the Potential to Increase Biological Activity, Patient Convenience and Commercial Opportunity –
MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEIP#NASDAQ">MEIP</a>), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company evaluating novel drug candidates to address known resistance mechanisms to standard-of-care cancer therapies, today reported that 25% of evaluable patients with relapsed metastatic colorectal cancer ("mCRC") in Cohort 1 of the ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating ME-344, an investigational inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation ("OXPHOS"), in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin&#xAE;) had no disease progression at Week 16. This landmark analysis exceeded the 20% threshold set in the Clinical Study Protocol to add an additional 20 patients to the study via the initiation of Cohort 2. The combination was also observed to be generally well-tolerated to date. While the threshold was met to proceed to Cohort 2, it was separately reported today that following a strategic review, the Company decided to continue to advance ME-344 development via its ongoing development of a new formulation rather than through the addition of a new cohort. The Company believes this represents the optimal approach to leveraging the potential of the program. The Company has already initiated research and development activity of the new formulation with encouraging results, with the goal of increasing biological activity, improving convenience of administration and increasing commercial opportunity.
"The data reported today, including progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety results of the combination, represent an important development supporting the potential of ME-344 in combination with Avastin to induce synthetic lethality in tumors using a completely novel therapeutic strategy," said Richard Ghalie, chief medical officer of MEI Pharma. "The development of a new formulation with enhanced biologic activity is aimed at further improving patient outcomes and treatment convenience in a well-tolerated manner."
"At MEI we are committed to our mission of developing novel drug candidates to address known resistance mechanisms to standard-of-care cancer therapies, and ME-344 holds significant potential as a novel therapeutic strategy to advance this mission," said David Urso, president and chief executive officer of MEI Pharma. "We believe that the best approach to optimize the potential of ME-344 for patients, prioritize resource utilization, and build value for shareholders, is to continue advancing the program via development of a new formulation of ME-344. In the short term, this plan will reduce expenditures on the ME-344 program and ultimately, if successful, create an improved formulation for continued clinical development."

A Look Into Healthcare Sector Value Stocks

– Safety Profile Observed to Date as Monotherapy and in Combination with Venetoclax Suggests no Overlapping Toxicity –
– Initial Results from Correlative Studies Demonstrate On-target Reductions in Mcl-1 and RNA Pol II p-S2 –
MEI Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MEIP#NASDAQ">MEIP</a>), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company evaluating novel drug candidates to address known resistance mechanisms to standard-of-care cancer therapies, today announced clinical data from the monotherapy dose escalation stage of the ongoing Phase 1 study evaluating voruciclib, a selective oral cyclin-dependent kinase 9 ("CDK9") inhibitor, alone and in combination with venetoclax (Venclexta&#xAE;), a B-cell lymphoma 2 ("BCL2") inhibitor, in patients with acute myeloid leukemia ("AML") or B-cell malignancies, is highlighted in a poster session at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.
The poster can be viewed on the MEI Pharma website here: <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeipharma.com%2Fash2023.html&amp;esheet=53868565&amp;newsitemid=20231211089962&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fmeipharma.com%2Fash2023.html&amp;index=1&amp;md5=b4fcbaaba02504a9a1b6cc946fb6d557">https://meipharma.com/ash2023.html</a>.
"The potential to use an oral CDK9 inhibitor such as voruciclib to reduce Mcl-1 protein, an established resistance factor for the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax, is a promising approach to improve therapeutic options for patients with hematologic malignancies," said Matthew S. Davids, MD, MMSc., Director, Clinical Research, Division of Lymphoma, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and study chair of the monotherapy stage of the Phase 1 study. "The data reported today, along with the experience with voruciclib in combination with venetoclax to date, provides encouraging support for the approach of this combination to address a common resistance mechanism to venetoclax therapy and improve clinical response without overlapping toxicity."
"I'd like to recognize the support and high level of engagement by our investigators, and the participation of the patients enrolling in this study, as we advance the evaluation of voruciclib in combination with venetoclax in patients with AML," said David M. Urso, president and chief executive officer of MEI Pharma. "We look forward to disclosing additional data in early 2024 from the dose escalation portion of the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating voruciclib in combination with venetoclax in patients with AML."

Phase 1 Study Details
The Phase 1 study is a two stage, open-label, 3+3 dose escalation and expansion study evaluating voruciclib, a CDK9 inhibitor, as a monotherapy and in combination with venetoclax (marketed as Venclexta&#xAE;), a BCL2 inhibitor. The first stage of the study, evaluating the dose and schedule of voruciclib as a single-agent in patients with relapsed and refractory ("R/R") acute myeloid leukemia ("AML") or B-cell malignances after failure of standard therapies, is complete. The second stage of the study is ongoing and is evaluating voruciclib in combination with venetoclax in patients with R/R AML.
A total of 40 patients, median age 75 years (range 63-80), were enrolled in the first stage of the study evaluating voruciclib as a monotherapy. The majority of patients (n=21) had AML and the remaining patients (n=19) had B-cell malignancies. Enrolled patients were generally heavily pretreated; the median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 1-9) and 5 patients had prior hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Patients enrolled in Cohort 1 (n= 16) of the monotherapy stage of the study were administered voruciclib once daily continuously at doses of 50 mg and 100 mg. Patients enrolled in Cohort 2 (n=24) were administered voruciclib on an intermittent schedule (IS) on days 1-14 in a 28-day cycle implemented after 2 dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were observed at 100 mg daily continuously. Dose escalation in Cohort 2 was stopped at 200 mg before reaching the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) at this schedule to focus on evaluation of venetoclax in combination with voruciclib.
The primary objectives of the study are to determine the safety and biologic effective dose of voruciclib monotherapy or voruciclib in combination with venetoclax. Secondary objectives of the study include assessing the preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biomarkers of voruciclib monotherapy or voruciclib in combination with venetoclax.
Monotherapy Safety and Tolerability
Voruciclib at doses up to 200 mg administered on 14 consecutive days in a 28-day cycle (Cohort 2) was well tolerated with no DLT reported. The most common adverse events (≥20% of patients) were diarrhea, nausea, anemia and fatigue. The large majority of adverse events were Grade 1-2; of note, the only Grade 3-4 adverse events in Cohort 2 were diarrhea (n=1) and anemia (n=5).
Pharmacokinetics were dose proportional and mean half-life of approximately 24 hours supports once daily dosing.
Monotherapy Efficacy
In the 21 patients enrolled with AML, 1 patient at 100 mg achieved a morphologic leukemia-free state and 9 patients had disease stabilization, which lasted at least 3 months in 2 patients. In the 19 patients enrolled with B-cell malignancies, 4 patients had stable disease with a decrease in tumor size.
Initial results from correlative studies assessing myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein ("Mcl-1") and RNA Pol II phosphorylation on Ser2 ("RNA Pol II p-S2") demonstrated reduction in expression consistent with the anticipated on-target pharmacodynamic effect of voruciclib on Mcl-1 and RNA Pol II p-S2 (Figures A and B, respectively, below).
Voruciclib Plus Venetoclax Combination: Initial Data
Voruciclib at doses up to 200 mg on the intermittent schedule have been administered in combination with venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory AML. Dose escalation is continuing.
No DLTs have been reported and no evidence of overlapping toxicity has been observed to date. Anti-tumor activity has been demonstrated by objective responses and reductions in transfusions, with multiple patients continuing on therapy for ≥ 4 months.
About Voruciclib
Voruciclib is an orally administered cyclin-dependent kinase 9 ("CDK9") inhibitor with potential to treat both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. It is in clinical development for acute myeloid leukemia and B-cell malignancies. Applications in solid tumors are also being considered.
The CDK family of proteins are important cell cycle regulators responsible for the control of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and DNA repair. CDK9, one of several members of the CDK family of proteins, functions as a gene transcription controller and is also involved in regulating protein degradation. Specifically, CDK9 is a promising target to treat a range of cancers because of its role in controlling two other proteins often dysregulated in cancerous cells: Mcl-1 and the MYC proto-oncogene protein ("MYC")
Mcl-1 is a member of the family of anti-apoptotic proteins which, when elevated, may prevent the cell from undergoing cell death. Inhibition of CDK9 blocks the production of Mcl-1, which is an established resistance mechanism to the B-cell lymphoma 2 ("BCL2") inhibitor venetoclax (marketed as Venclexta&#xAE;).
MYC regulates cell proliferation and growth. Upregulation of MYC is implicated in many human cancers and is frequently associated with poor prognosis and unfavorable patient survival. CDK9, in addition to being a transcription factor for MYC, also decreases phosphorylation of MYC protein that is implicated in stabilizing MYC in KRAS mutant cancers. Targeting MYC directly has historically been difficult, but CDK9 is a promising approach to target this oncogene.
