About Bemcentinib

Bemcentinib is a potentially first-in-class, potent and highly selective

inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase AXL.  Extensive studies confirm the ability to

combine bemcentinib with immune checkpoint inhibitors, chemotherapies and

targeted therapies with the goal of improving a patient's immune response and

delaying the development of chemoresistance.  Bemcentinib is currently being

investigated in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition and chemotherapy

in first line NSCLC patients harboring mutations in the STK11 gene, a known

prognostic factor of poor response to existing therapies.

About BerGenBio ASA

BerGenBio is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing

transformative drugs targeting AXL as a potential cornerstone of therapy for

aggressive diseases, including cancer and severe respiratory infections. The

Company is focused on its proprietary lead candidate, bemcentinib, a potentially

first-in-class selective AXL inhibitor in development for STK11 mutated NSCLC

and COVID-19.
