About Imugene (ASX:IMU)

Imugene is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company developing a range of new and novel immunotherapies that seek to activate the immune system of cancer patients to treat and eradicate tumors. Our unique platform technology seeks to harness the body’s immune system to generate antibodies against tumours, potentially achieving a similar or greater effect than synthetically manufactured monoclonal antibody therapies. Our product pipeline includes multiple immunotherapy B-cell vaccine candidates aimed at treating a variety of cancers in combination with standard of care drugs and emerging immunotherapies. We are supported by a leading team of international cancer experts with extensive experience in developing new cancer therapies with many approved for sale and marketing for global markets.

IMUGENE LIMITED ACN 009 179 551 WWW.IMUGENE.COM [email protected]

Our vision is to help transform and improve the treatment of cancer and the lives of the millions of patients who need effective treatments. This vision is backed by a growing body of clinical evidence and peer-reviewed research. Imugene is well funded and resourced, to deliver on its commercial and clinical milestones. Together with leading specialists and medical professionals, we believe Imugene’s immuno-oncology therapies will become a foundation treatment for cancer. Our goal is to ensure that Imugene and its shareholders are at the forefront of this rapidly growing global market.

Immuno-oncology - A rapidly growing market

B cell peptide vaccines provide potential benefits

  • ü Potentially leading to a better outlook for the long term survival of patients with advanced cancers

  • Immuno-oncology allows for a more targeted treatment

  • Harnesses the patients own immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells

  • ü Has the potential to inhibit tumour recurrence with potentially less toxic side effects

  • Multiple first-line treatments approved

==> picture [121 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

A pioneer and leader in the B cell peptide cancer vaccine space

  • Imugene is the market pioneer and leader in B cell peptide cancer vaccines

  • Currently has the most advanced B cell peptide cancer vaccines clinical program in the industry

B cell based antibodies have distinct advantages to existing treatments

What is Imugene’s B cell vaccine (HER-Vaxx) trying to solve?

==> picture [121 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

  • HER-2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) stimulates cancer cells to grow

  • 10 - 30% of gastric, breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients have tested HER-2 positive

  • The incidence of increased HER2 (known as over expression) in the body is associated with a higher chance of cancer spreading and an increased probability of cancer recurrence

KEY-Vaxx: A new entrant in the checkpoint inhibitor market

==> picture [121 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [33 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

How PD-1 targeted treatments work

PD-1 targeted treatments block PD-L1 expressing tumour cells from binding PD-1 on T- cells (resulting in increased activation of the T cell immune response in the tumour microenvironment)

Limitations of current treatments

  • Current checkpoint inhibiting monoclonal antibody therapies only effective in 1030% of patients

  • Require intravenous infusions every 2-3 weeks and has a high toxicity profile when used in combination

KEY-Vaxx is a PD-1 B cell vaccine , aimed to induce the body to produce polyclonal antibodies while existing commercialised immunotherapies Keytruda[®] (Merck) and Opdivo[®] (BMS) are monoclonal antibodies

Current phase: Phase 1 (commence in Q4 2019)

  • Very expensive

KEY-Vaxx potentially addresses these problems

Opdivo / Yervoy Case Study

Imugene’s novel therapies have the potential to tick all three boxes

In 2018, the FDA approved the Opdivo and Yervoy combination for a subset of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

Provides a novel therapeutic option with a higher response rate than that from monotherapy immunotherapy

BUT more significant toxicity is noted with the combination, and immune-mediated side effects need to be monitored

Although early in development, Imugene’s PD-1 and Her-2 cancer vaccines potentially provide efficacy and response rate with minimal toxicity

Similar to HER-Vaxx, B-Vaxx is a B cell peptide cancer vaccine designed to treat tumours that over-express the HER-2 receptor by binding to the same regions as Herceptin® and Perjeta®

Funded by OSU

It has been shown in pre-clinical studies and in a completed Phase I study to stimulate a potent polyclonal antibody response to HER-2

The global immuno-oncology sector rapidly growing

==> picture [121 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

With strong interest in the sector, Imugene‘s products have the potential to outperform exsiting treatments

Significant growth in global immuno-oncology pipelines of 2017 and 2018

Traditionally, cancer treatment options included: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy

Immunotherapy is rapidly evolving and now widely regarded as a 5[th] pillar of treatment

Sector growing rapidly - more than 600 licensing agreements signed in the oncology space (1/3 of these focused on immuno-oncology)

Potential benefits of B cell peptide vaccines include:

  • Cheaper to produce

  • Targeted and lasting immune response

  • Safer and more convenient
