Why Imugene is Unique

T Cell vaccines have been exhaustively researched…

…but B Cell vaccines are an open frontier for immunotherapy

Imugene (ASX: IMU) leading in B Cell vaccines for immunotherapy

Who is Imugene?

  • Leading immunotherapy company, working on B Cell peptide vaccine technology developed at Medical University of Vienna, Austria

  • Headquartered in Australia, publicly traded on Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:IMU)

  • Lead product, HER-Vaxx, is a HER2 vaccine with Phase 1 in breast cancer completed

==> picture [82 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [96 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • HER-Vaxx moves to Phase 1b/2 in HER2+ gastric cancer in 2016

  • Exciting mimotope platform in development at Medical University of Vienna

  • Market capitalisation (1/5/2016) only US$16.1m (A$22.5m) One of the world’s best value immunotherapy stocks

==> picture [90 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

4

B Cell Peptide Vaccine Immunotherapy

  • Imugene is one of the few biotech companies globally working on B Cell peptide vaccines for immunotherapy

  • Our colleagues at Medical University of Vienna (MUW) have created a HER2 B Cell peptide vaccine, HER-Vaxx, capable of generating a robust anticancer polyclonal antibody response

  • Imugene and MUW’s work on B Cell peptide vaccines is focused on discovering the potential to improve performance and cost effectiveness of monoclonal antibodies

  • In the Era of Immuno-Oncology, B Cell peptide vaccines has a potential to play an important role

  • We believe we have the management team to position B Cell peptide vaccines as a clinically relevant immunotherapy

==> picture [90 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

5

Why B Cell Vaccines?

No HLA restriction

  • Potential for higher affinity and specificity polyclonal antibodies than monoclonals, depending on epitope conformation

  • Potential for additional and superior antitumor effects through targeting different biologically relevant regions for the cancer in question

  • ADCC (Antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity) and CDC (complement dependent cytotoxicity) as per monoclonals, but at much lower cost

  • T Help can come from vaccine formulation

  • Generation of immune memory

  • Potentially less toxicity

  • Combining several B-cell epitopes into a single antigen is synergistic and results in a stronger immune response

Why Our B Cell Peptide Vaccines?

2010 - First generation vaccine performed very well in the clinic

==> picture [28 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Epitope discovery technologies

  • Allows most antigenic Target-specific epitopes to be antibodies with potent identified anti-tumor activity

  • Reduction in Treg cells post-vaccination

==> picture [29 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

2016 - Third generation vaccine goes to clinic

  • Single peptide

  • CRM197 carrier system easier to make

  • Significantly higher antibody titre in vivo

  • Induction of cytokines (Th1 biased, IFN-γ production)

  • Induction of memory T & B cells

==> picture [90 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

7

Why Imugene?

  • Compelling science both for HER-Vaxx and mimotopes

  • Leadership – Experienced management led by Executive Chairman Paul Hopper (Polynoma, Viralytics); the board owns 6%

  • Validated target for first product – HER-Vaxx targets same receptor as Roche's ~$8bn Herceptin and Perjeta franchise

  • Phase 1 completed – Anti-HER2 antibody responses, T helper cytokines, Treg cells suppressed, therapy safe

  • Robust IP – Exclusivity for HER-Vaxx until at least 2030 on granted US and EU patents - further patent life extensions to 2036 and beyond underway

  • News flow – Numerous milestone announcements and valuation inflection points over next 12-24 months

HER-Vaxx is a Differentiated Product

  • HER-Vaxx is a universal vaccine & can be used for all patient types irrespective of their “HLA haplotypes”, an issue which impacts T cell vaccines

  • HER-Vaxx generates polyclonal responses that may be superior to treatment with a monoclonal antibody like Herceptin

  • Toxicity of HER-Vaxx is negligible

  • HER-Vaxx induces IFNγ production that can influence the tumour micro environment and suppresses T Reg cells which are enhanced in cancer patients & which assist tumor evasion mechanisms – thereby the efficacy of the HER-Vaxx might be enhanced

  • Potential as an adjuvant therapy i.e., post surgery

  • HER-Vaxx is active immunisation and induces immunological memory – Herceptin is passive immunisation, and its effectiveness depends upon frequent applications

==> picture [90 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

14

Phase 1a in Breast Cancer, Conducted at Medical University of Vienna, Demonstrated Immunogenicity*

  • n=10

  • Patients developed anti-HER-2 Abs

  • All metastatic breast cancer patients

  • HER-2 +/++

  • Induction of cytokines (Th1 biased; IFNγ)

  • Induction of memory T & B cells post vaccination

  • Life expectancy > 4 months

  • Conducted at Medical University of Vienna

  • Reduction in T reg cells post vaccination, indicating strong vaccine response

  • Antibodies induced displayed potent antitumor activity

  • ❶ Safety and Tolerability

HER-Vaxx Has Been Considerably Optimised Since Phase 1a

Third Generation

First Generation

  • (used in Phase 1a) was three separate B Cell epitopes delivered in virosomes

==> picture [211 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Second Generation

  • incorporated the three B Cell epitopes into a single 49-mer peptide

  • 2x increase in antibody response in vivo compared to three single epitopes (extended patent life to 2030)

==> picture [211 x 103] intentionally omitted <==

  • changed the delivery system from virosomes to CRM197 (which gave CD4 T-Help response), and added an adjuvant

  • 10x increase in antibody response in vivo (potentially extends patent life to 2036)

Mimotopes – Delivering on the Promise of B Cell Peptide Vaccines

==> picture [721 x 181] intentionally omitted <==

20

With our mimotopes technology, we can reverseengineer monoclonal antibodies

  • Our colleagues at Medical University of Vienna have developed cutting edge proprietary techniques to select peptides that would mimic monoclonal antibodies

  • Imugene has acquired an option to develop mimotope vaccines with MUW.

  • We believe mimotopes will be part of the next wave of the Immunooncology Revolution

  • In conjunction with the MUW team we are now selecting novel vaccine candidates against a variety of cancer targets

  • This greatly extends the Imugene’s oncology franchise and pipeline
