Pipeline highlights
In Hemato-Oncology
Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) – MaaT013
In January 2025, the Company announced positive topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 ARES Study evaluating MaaT013 in aGvHD. The study met its primary endpoint with a significant gastrointestinal overall response rate at Day 28 of 62% and demonstrates the unprecedented efficacy of MaaT013 as third-line treatment of aGvHD with gastrointestinal involvement (GI-aGvHD) consistent with previously communicated EAP results. The Company anticipates MAA submission in Europe in June 2025.
In March 2025, the Company received positive opinion from EMA Pediatric Committee on the Pediatric Investigation Plan for MaaT013, a key milestone achieved towards the MAA submission to the EMA.
In March 2025, the Company received a positive outcome from the final DSMB meeting on ARES Phase 3 trial, confirming the remarkable efficacy results and positive risk/benefit profile of MaaT013 in third-line aGvHD.
Earlier this year, the Company announced its intent to partner the distribution of MaaT013 in Europe, while retaining MaaT013 rights in the U.S.
Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (allo-HSCT) - MaaT033
In January 2025, the Company announced that the DSMB completed its second safety assessment of the Phase 2b trial PHOEBUS and recommended continuation of the trial without modification.
In April 2025, the Company announced the positive outcome of a key DSMB safety interim analysis for the Phase 2b trial PHOEBUS. As a result of their unblinded analysis, the DSMB recommended the trial to proceed as planned, showing no excessive mortality related to MaaT033 as of today. This additional positive outcome further reinforces MaaT033's safety profile and supports MaaT033's integration in the allo-HSCT setting without significant risks of severe adverse events.
In Immuno-Oncology
MaaT034 - Next-generation drug candidates with co-cultured technology (MET-C platform)
In April 2025, MaaT Pharma presented promising preclinical data for MaaT034 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025, demonstrating strong anti-tumor efficacy and immune activation in germ-free mice.
MaaT013– Proof-of-Concept trials with donor derived drugs (MET-N platform)
MaaT013 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2a randomized clinical trial (NCT04988841) (PICASSO) sponsored by AP-HP and in collaboration with INRAE and Institut Gustave Roussy, in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), ipilimumab (Yervoy®) and nivolumab (Opdivo®), in metastatic melanoma patients. The Company provided its MaaT013 drug candidate and placebo and contributes to the microbiome profiling of patients using its proprietary gutPrint® AI research engine, while the trial investigator sponsor handled recruitment, treatment and oversee data collection and analysis. Data readout is expected in H2 2025.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) - MaaT033

Rapid and sustained microbial engraftment was observed, along with a slower rate of disease progression (ALSFRS-R slope to be interpreted with caution. The Company is seeking a partner to further advance clinical evaluation in ALS.
