Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 13, 2020, Aeglea BioTherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing it has filed a Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) with the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) for Homocystinase (“AEB4104”), a novel engineered human enzyme therapy designed to treat homocystinuria.

Additionally, the Company will present at the 38th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference (“J.P. Morgan Conference”) in San Francisco, California on January 15, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time. The Company will present an overview of its strategic focus in developing innovative human enzyme therapeutics with defined potential to address patients with Arginase 1 Deficiency, Homocystinuria and Cystinuria. A copy of the press release and corporate presentation are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The corporate presentation will also be available on the Company’s website in the Events & Presentations section at www.aegleabio.com.

The information furnished with this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 13, 2020, the Company announced it has filed a CTA with the EMA for AEB4104, a novel engineered human enzyme therapy designed to treat homocystinuria, a serious metabolic disorder that interferes with the body’s processing of amino acids. The Company expects to initiate a Phase 1/2 trial in the second quarter of 2020 and provide initial clinical data in the first quarter of 2021.

Additionally, on January 15, 2020, the Company will provide updates on its strategic focus and new market estimates for Arginase 1 Deficiency based on a genetic prevalence methodology, including key geographic distribution, at the J.P. Morgan Conference. A recent genetic prevalence analysis commissioned by the Company determined that the Arginase 1 Deficiency population may exceed 2,500 patients in the global addressable markets, as compared to greater than 1,000 patients as estimated based on scientific literature.

Aeglea BioTherapeutics Submits CTA Application for its Novel Engineered Human Enzyme Designed to Treat Homocystinuria (ACN00177)

Company Expects to Initiate a Phase 1/2 Trial in the Second Quarter of 2020

AUSTIN, Texas, January 13, 2020 -- Aeglea BioTherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGLE), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation human enzyme therapeutics as solutions for diseases with high unmet medical need, today announced it has filed a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) with the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for ACN00177, a novel engineered human enzyme therapy designed to treat homocystinuria, a serious metabolic disorder that results in elevated levels of plasma homocysteine. The Company expects to initiate a Phase 1/2 trial in the second quarter of 2020.

“Currently, people diagnosed with homocystinuria face a debilitating chronic disease, poor quality of life and inadequate treatments including severe lifelong dietary restrictions,” said Anthony G. Quinn, M.B. Ch.B., Ph.D., Aeglea’s president and chief executive officer. "Aeglea’s innovative platform has engineered a novel enzyme which, by reducing plasma homocysteine levels, has the potential to transform the patient experience with this challenging disease.”

 

About ACN00177 in Homocystinuria
Aeglea is developing ACN00177 for the treatment of patients with cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) deficiency, also known as Classical Homocystinuria. Homocysteine accumulation plays a key role in multiple progressive and serious disease-related complications, including thromboembolic vascular events, skeletal abnormalities including severe osteoporosis, developmental delay, intellectual disability, lens dislocation and severe myopia. ACN00177 has been designed as a novel recombinant human enzyme, which degrades the amino acid homocysteine and its related homocystine dimer. With this mechanism, ACN00177 is intended to lower the abnormally high blood levels of homocysteine to the normal range in patients with homocystinuria. Preclinical data demonstrated that the ACN00177 improved important disease-related abnormalities and survival in a mouse model of homocystinuria. The Company has submitted a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) with the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and expects to initiate a Phase 1/2 trial in the second quarter of 2020.
