CAVATAK™ (Coxsackievirus A21) an oncolytic immunotherapeutic agent

2

•  Proprietary formulation of the oncolytic virus, Coxsackievirus A21

•  Targeted to specific receptor over expressed on cancer cells (ICAM-1)

•  Kills local and metastatic cells by oncolytic and immunotherapeutic activity

•  Potential application across a range of cancer types

–  Prostate, lung, melanoma, bladder and others

•  Well tolerated in patients - to date no treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events

•  Potential intravenous as well as intratumoural use

•  Potential application as monotherapy or in combination

•  Manufactured under cGMP at SAFC, California

•  The CALM study achieved its primary endpoint with 22/57 pts (38.6%) irPFS at 6 months

•  Multi-dose intralesional therapy with CVA21 was generally well tolerated (No Grade 3 or 4 treatment related AEs

•  Responses were observed in injected lesions, non-injected non-visceral lesions and in distant non-injected visceral lesions

•  CVA21 treatment induced notable changes within the tumor microenvironment by inducing increases in immune cell infiltrates and expression of PD-L1

•  CVA21 treatment induces a Th1-gene shift, with increases in interferon-induced genes

Future Directions

•  CVA21 treatment may be used to in combination with immune checkpoint blockade

•  CVA21 treatment may be used in a rescue strategy to reconstitute the immune cells within the tumor microenvironment of lesions resistant to immune checkpoint blockade
