AMV564 administered by CIV infusion− To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose

(RP2D) of AMV564− To evaluate preliminary efficacy of AMV564 administered at the RP2D

• Additional objectives− To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and

immunogenicity of AMV564 when administered by CIV infusion− To evaluate predictive biomarkers of response or resistance to AMV564 − To investigate the immunoregulatory activity of AMV564, including measures of T-

cell function and profiling of T-cell subpopulations

• Evidence of T cell increases in bone marrow in repeat-cycle patients

− No increase in Treg− Example shown: best response CRi

AMV564-101: Conclusions and Future Directions

• AMV564 administered as continuous IV infusion is safe and well-tolerated at doses up to 450 mcg/day in heavily pre-treated relapsed/refractory AML patients

• No Dose-Limiting Toxicities • No Grade 3+ CRS• Low incidence of discontinuation due adverse events• Early evidence of clinical activity• AMV564 activates T-cells and shows anti-leukemic blast activity• Subcutaneous and chronic dosing of AMV564 are being explored

in other clinical trials
