• Vision: a broad T-Cell and NK-cell activator that has efficacy after PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in the immune-sensitive tumors (‘hot tumors’) and activity in selected cold tumors – Widely expressed on T cells and NK cells – Activation via CTX-471 leads to efficacy across a broad set of syngeneic tumors in mice – Demonstrable activity in cold tumors such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. • Phase 1 will test the activity of CTX-471 in the relapsed patient population after PD-1 axis blockade – Immunological architecture is required for response: patients can not be refractory to PD-1 blockade – Once efficacy has been established in the 2L, 3L, we will proceed to front line therapy • Tumor types: all approved PD-1 and PD-L1 indications – Immunologically responsive based on at least 3 months of stable disease PD-1 Refractory – High unmet medical need due to limited response to CKPT blockers Cold tumors – Second line NSCLC is a major commercial opportunity CTX-471 • Execution Immune competent ~50% of PD-1 population – IND open as of 3/2019 – 6-8 Centers in the US: Dana Farber, MGH, Wash.

Indication Prevalence Limitations of Current Treatment Options Light-chain amyloidosis1 ~40 cases per 1,000,000 Up to 80% of pts are ineligible for ASCT, and plasma cell directed ~12,000 pts in the U.S. chemotherapy has been shown to fall short in addressing organ dysfunction caused by amyloid deposition Myasthenia Gravis2 ~20 cases per 100,000. Corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are associated with a ~60,000 pts in the U.S. number of significant side effects. Use of Soliris only blocks the activity of complement recruited by the pathogenic IgGs directed against the ACh receptor. It does not address the blocking of the Ach receptor by pathogenic IgGs, nor the receptor cross-linking and internalization by these IgGs. Pemphigus Vulgaris3 ~1-10 cases per 1,000,000 Patients who do not respond to corticosteroids and ~300-3,000 pts in the U.S. immunosuppressants are treated with IVIg or Rituxan. Even with IVIg and Rituxan, complete remission may take several months, and some patients do not respond. Immune Thrombocytopenia1 ~9.5 cases per 100,000 Treatment for ITP is focused on either reducing the autoimmune ~30,000 pts in the U.S. destruction of the platelets, or directly stimulating platelet production with specific growth factors. Use of IVIg and plasmapheresis can lead to serious complications, and while receptor agonists lead to increases in blood platelet counts, they do not address the underlying destruction of the platelets.
