Company Overview

Developing B-cell based immuno-oncology therapies

  • Mimotope Platform Technology: B cells to produce an antibody copy of the antibody you want to “mimic”

  • HER-Vaxx: Completed a Phase 1 trial in patients with HER-2+/++ breast cancer

  • The Phase 1b/2 gastric cancer trial to begin this week (initiation starts this week)

  • Technology originates from the Medical University of Vienna, one of Europe’s leading cancer institutes

  • Technology identified in 2012 by Dr Axel Hoos (Sr. VP at GSK)

  • Public listing on ASX in December 2013 via reverse merger into listed shell, Imugene Ltd - Axel Hoos joins the Board – his only Board worldwide

What is an Antibody? A key defense of the immune system

Antibodies – look like the letter “Y” and are made of proteins. They are exquisitely made to attach themselves to one target only sitting on an invading organism which the body doesn’t like .

There are 2 ways to make antibodies

In a factory

Using B cells in your own body

==> picture [150 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

  • B Cells – are like little antibody factories producing millions of antibodies to target “nasties” entering the body

Building on the multi-levels of your own immune system

  • Identification of cancer targets for variety of cancer indications

  • Immune responses from conjugates and adjuvants

  • B-Cell Peptide vaccines against checkpoint targets

A Mimotope Produces a Copy of an Antibody

  • A mimotope is a small molecule, often a peptide, which mirrors the structure of an epitope, the specific target an antibody binds to. Because of this property it induces an antibody response similar to the one elicited by the epitope.

  • A mimotope causes your B cells to produce an antibody copy of the antibody you want to “mimic”

  • Mimotopes to be part of the next wave of the immuno-oncology revolution against cutting edge oncology targets

  • Potential tool for selecting novel vaccine candidates against a variety of tumors

  • Greatly extends IMU’s oncology franchise and pipeline.

  • Monoclonal antibody market currently at US$60bn pa

Advantages of Mimotopes Immunotherapy

Issue Mimotope Immunotherapy Monoclonal Antibodies

Safety

  • Stimulates the immune system to produce natural Abs , potentially safer , as demonstrated by HER-Vaxx

  • Synthetic Ab, with side effects (including ventricular dysfunction, CHF, anaphylaxis, immune mediation)

Efficacy

  • Polyclonal Ab response reduces risk of resistance and potentially increases efficacy

  • Monoclonal Ab - single shot

  • Durability Antibodies continuously produced Half life up to 12 days a lasting immune response to inhibit sometimes less tumor recurrence

  • Usability Potentially low numbers of Requires regular infusion vaccinations required per year

Cost

  • Low cost of production enables greater Expensive course of treatment pricing flexibility facilitating combinations >USD100K per year in the US and opening up additional markets
