What is Autologous CAR T Therapy?

==> picture [222 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

A cancer treatment in which a patient’s T-cells are reprogramed in a laboratory so that they become like a guided missile to attack certain proteins (ie CD19) on the cancer cells − CAR T stands for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell. Currently many CD19 targeted auto CAR Ts are approved and only in blood cancers.

What is Imugene’s azer-cel Allogeneic CAR T?

Azer-cel is currently enrolling patients with a rare form of blood cancer known as diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for patients who have failed approved treatments

Approximately 30,000 cases (US) per year of DLBCL blood cancer[1]

Azer-cel is an

‘off-the-shelf’ CAR T drug,

aka allogeneic, which is made from healthy donor T-cells that provide CAR T drug that works for many patients

CAR T drugs have revolutionised treatments for blood cancer

The large Phase 1 trial demonstrated safety and encouraging signs of efficacy

Currently in a Phase 1b trial in leading US and Australian centres

A Phase 1 clinical trial in 84 patients was completed across twelve leading cancer centres in the US

The technology was acquired in September 2023

  • Pathologist report revealed neoplastic cells were positive (90%) for CD19 by flow

  • Azer-cel treatment regimen

Cell explodes, releasing thousands of brand new virus particles

Virus duplicates itself

Virus enters tumour cell

Engineering enhancements

  • Infect and kill only cancer cells

  • Carry payloads to increase killing

Multiple ways to kill cancer cells

  • Direct killing

  • Activation of immune cells to kill cancer cells

  • Priming the tumour environment to enhance immune response[1]

Precedent for approval

  • Tvec approved in the United States for skin cancer (2015)

  • Oncorine approved in China for head and neck cancer (2005)

  • Delytact approved in Japan for brain cancer (2021)

Disease Control So Far

  • Nearly half of the evaluable patients (48%) have remained on treatment for >3 months

  • 3 patients have remained on treatment for >200 days

Responses

  • Patient with bile tract cancer who had a complete response (CR); ongoing remission for >2 years

  • 2 patients with melanoma had partial responses (PRs); 17 patients achieved stable disease (SD)

Bile Tract Trial

  • Bile tract cancer expansion trial opened based on positive response

  • First cohort cleared, establishing safety

Fast Track and Orphan Drug Designation

  • US FDA Fast Track Designation for bile tract cancer, which allows for faster review

  • US FDA Orphan Drug Designation for bile tract cancer, which allows for further efficiencies

What is Imugene’s onCARlytics CD19 virus?

Imugene’s novel onCARlytics CD19 virus, makes a solid cancer “resemble” a CD19 blood cancer cell, and lures FDA approved anti-CD19 CAR T drugs, to attack them

Solid cancers do not have the CD19 molecule on their cell surface

IMU’s CD19 virus causes solid cancers to display (create a target) the CD19 molecule on their cell surface

This makes them a killing target for anti-CD19 CAR T blood cancer drugs

Insert CD19 CD19 virus CD19 displayed on virus infects cell cell surface

Imugene Commercialisation Strategy Multiple Value Realisation Pathways

They often manage more COMPANY ACQUISITION money than hedge funds or mutual funds

Due to the network effect, each financial advisor represents hundreds of potential shareholders DEVELOP /

PARTNER WITH BIG These investors have the They make decisions quickly LICENSE ability to purchase stock PHARMA without the bureaucracy of TECHNOLOGIES immediately traditional investment firms SEPARATELY

  • The global model for biotech commercialisation is to out-license the technology to Big Pharma in Phase 1b/2 trials

  • Conducting Phase 3 trials, obtaining FDA approval for the product not within the remit of biotech

  • Out-licensing is highly dependent upon demonstrating safety in Phase 1 and convincing signals of efficacy in Phase 1b/2

  • Licensing deals are generally structured with an up-front cash payment, payments upon reaching certain development milestones such as entering Phase 3 trials, payment on FDA approval of the drug, and royalties on net sales when the drug is on the market
