Item 4.01. Changes in the Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm

On November 8, 2022, the audit committee of the board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Apexigen, Inc. (the “Company”), dismissed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Company’s business combination transaction that closed on July 29, 2022 (the “Business Combination”).

Marcum’s report on the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from May 27, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period from May 27, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through November 8, 2022, there were no disagreements between the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. During the period from May 27, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through November 8, 2022, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company set forth above. A copy of Marcum’s letter, dated November 14, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On November 8, 2022, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022. Moss Adams LLP served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Apexigen America, Inc. (formerly known as Apexigen, Inc.) prior to the Business Combination. During the period from May 27, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2021 and subsequent interim period through November 8, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company’s behalf consulted with Moss Adams LLP with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided that Moss Adams LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (each as defined above).

Item 8.01 Other Event.

On November 14, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing data from a Phase 2 clinical trial testing sotigalimab in combination with doxorubicin in patients with liposarcoma.

A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, and the information contained therein is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Apexigen Announces Positive Interim Results from Phase 2 Trial Evaluating its CD40 Antibody, Sotigalimab, in Combination with Doxorubicin in Patients with Liposarcoma

 

-Patients with liposarcoma (LPS) demonstrated prolonged median PFS (mPFS) relative to historical controls treated with standard of care of doxorubicin-

 

-Encouraging PFS data from the ongoing investigator sponsored trial in collaboration with Columbia University supports expansion of the LPS cohort to inform a potential registration-enabling trial-

 

-Apexigen to host investor call with sarcoma expert and principal investigator, Gary Schwartz, M.D. at Columbia University, today, November 14, at 8:00 a.m. ET-

 

SAN CARLOS, CA – November 14, 2022 – Apexigen, Inc. (NASDAQ: APGN) a clinical-stage company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer with a focus on immuno-oncology, today announced topline data from an ongoing Phase 2 investigator sponsored trial in collaboration with Columbia University, evaluating sotigalimab (sotiga), Apexigen’s agonist antibody targeting CD40, in combination with standard of care doxorubicin (dox), in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS). In the subgroup of patients with liposarcoma (LPS), the second most common STS, treatment with sotiga combined with dox resulted in a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 12.45 months relative to the historically observed mPFS of less than 5 months in patients treated with dox monotherapy.

 

“While the incidence of soft tissue sarcoma continues to rise, efforts to improve upon the standard of care treatment have largely stalled and remained largely unchanged for years,” said Gary Schwartz, M.D., Chief of Columbia University Medical Center's Division of Hematology and Oncology and Principal Investigator of the study. “In contrast, results from the ongoing Phase 2 trial showed the subgroup of patients with LPS treated with sotigalimab in combination with dox achieved a mPFS more than double than historically seen with dox alone. With the favorable safety observed in these patients, the encouraging results support future evaluation of sotigalimab-based combinations while speaking to the potential of sotigalimab in the maintenance therapy setting.”

 

Frank Hsu, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Apexigen commented, “In collaboration with Columbia University, we are very pleased to have successfully completed enrollment of the LPS cohort and are encouraged by the promising clinical results to date. This impressive increase in PFS is an improvement of clinical benefit that builds on the standard of care treatment of this disease. We now plan to expand enrollment with an additional 10 patients with LPS. This expansion cohort will supplement the growing dataset suggesting sotiga in combination with dox may provide superior clinical benefit compared to emerging treatment approaches and currently approved standard of care chemotherapy. Further, these results could inform a potential Phase 3 registration-enabling study for patients with LPS in the first-line setting.”

 

The objective of this ongoing study is to evaluate the efficacy of this novel combination and to further characterize the safety and feasibility of the combination of sotiga with dox. More information about the study is available at:

 


 

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03719430?term=NCT03719430&draw=2&rank=1 (NCT03719430).

 

Interim efficacy results:

Sotiga combined with dox led to encouraging PFS in the completed LPS cohort consisting of dedifferentiated liposarcomas.
o
As of September 27, 2022, of the 10 evaluable patients with LPS, the mPFS was 12.45 months (range: 1.4 to 25.3 months), which compares favorably to the historically observed mPFS of LPS patients treated with dox alone (<5 months).
o
Results support the initiation of an expansion cohort with an additional 10 patients to inform a potential registration-enabling trial in first-line LPS patients.

 

Conference Call at 8:00 a.m. ET Today

Apexigen will host a video conference call and webcast for investors and analysts today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the most recent clinical data. Gary Schwartz, M.D., Chief of Columbia University Medical Center's Division of Hematology and Oncology and Principal Investigator of the study, as well as members of Apexigen’s senior management team, will lead the discussion on the study results. The live webcast and replay can be accessed in the “Investors” section of our website (apexigen.com), under “Events & Presentations” or by clicking https://ir.apexigen.com/events-presentations.

 

About Apexigen

 

Apexigen is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing a new generation of antibody therapeutics for oncology, with an emphasis on new immuno-oncology agents designed to harness the patient’s immune system to combat and eradicate cancer. Sotigalimab and Apexigen’s other programs were discovered using Apexigen’s proprietary APXiMAB™ discovery platform. This platform has enabled Apexigen and its collaboration partners to discover and develop therapeutic antibodies against a variety of molecular targets, including targets that are difficult to drug with conventional antibody technologies. Multiple product candidates have been discovered using the APXiMAB platform, one of which is commercially available and the others are in clinical development, either internally by Apexigen or by its licensees.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding Apexigen’s ability to provide innovative oncology solutions, meet the needs of patients and provide meaningful clinical benefits; the potential attributes, uses and effectiveness of Apexigen’s lead candidate sotigalimab, including in combination with doxorubicin and in patients with LPS; Apexigen’s plans, timelines and expectations with respect to its ongoing Phase 2 investigator sponsored trial in collaboration with Columbia University, including expanded enrollment in patients with LPS and the expectation that it is a potential registration-enabling study; and statements made by Apexigen’s Chief Medical Officer and Columbia University Medical Center's Chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology . Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any

 


 

underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Apexigen’s management in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on Apexigen, as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Apexigen will be those that Apexigen has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Apexigen’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including Apexigen’s early stages of clinical drug development, Apexigen’s ability to achieve successful clinical results or commercial adoption of sotigalimab, Apexigen’s competitors developing and marketing products that are more effective, safer, or less expensive than Apexigen’s product candidates, delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in Apexigen’s clinical trials, or that Apexigen will have sufficient capital to operate as anticipated. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of Apexigen’s current and periodic reports filed or furnished from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to Apexigen, and Apexigen assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, product candidates, planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, results of clinical trials, research and development costs, regulatory approvals, timing, and likelihood of success, as well as plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that are in some cases beyond our control and may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;
our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;
the lack of a market for our securities;
our financial performance;
failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined in Part I, Item 1, Note 3, “Business Combination,” in our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q);
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us related to the Business Combination;
the timing and focus of our current and future clinical trials, and the reporting of data from those trials;
our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our product candidates;
our estimates of the number of patients in the United States who suffer from the diseases we are targeting and the number of patients that will enroll in clinical trials;
the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our product candidates for various diseases;
our plans relating to commercializing our product candidates, if approved, including which indications will be pursued;
the ability of our clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy, and other positive results, of our product candidates;
the beneficial characteristics, safety, efficacy, and therapeutic effects of our product candidates;
the development of competitors’ product candidates;
existing regulations and regulatory developments in the United States and other jurisdictions;
the need to hire additional personnel and our ability to attract and retain such personnel;
our plans and ability to obtain, maintain, enforce, or protect intellectual property rights;
our continued reliance on third parties to conduct additional clinical trials of our product candidates, and for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical studies and clinical trials; and
the success of our licensing agreements.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about our business, the industry in which we operate and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, and these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
