The arfolitixorin opportunity

4

mCRC is a significant urgent unmet medical need with no new treatment options for allcomers in over 16 years

MTHF added to the cornerstone cytotoxic 5-FU more than doubles its efficacy - arfolitixorin is MTHF

Limited competition and few new drugs in development for 1st line mCRC, no branded products

Unprecedented low regulatory hurdle for approval in 1st line mCRC

Late-stage asset with established mechanism of action aiming for launch within 3 years

Fully validated CMC package in place

Arfolitixorin - Aim to Increase Efficacy of current standard of care-the first pure form of [6R]-MTHF – the biological active substance

7

The Problem: 5-FU + [6R]-MTHF treatment with the pro-drug leucovorin 400 mg/m2

The Solution: 5-FU + Arfolitixorin 120 mg/m2 (120 mg/m2 [6R]-MTHF)

IV bolus push1-3 min

[6R]-MTHF essential for 5-FU anticancer effect

• With only up to 40% - 45% responding to current SOC in All-Commers

Strength of the arfolitixorin program:

• Hemisulfate guarantees stability

• Significantly higher intracellular tumor concentrations of [6R]-MTHF

• Significant higher inhibition of TS inhibition

• Use of 5-FU and arfolitixorin iv bolus push significantly inhibits TS

Arfolitixorin is a De-risked Opportunity

8

© ISOFOL MEDICAL AB (publ)

Arfolitixorin is a De-risked Opportunity- Phase III AGENT Study has a high probability of success with low regulatory hurdles for approval

● Significant Commercial Opportunity● Physicians understand and support the value proposition

● Established mechanism of action:● [6R]-MTHF role in potentiating 5-FU is well described in the literature1

● Arfolitixorin is the first pure form of [6R]-MTHF, require no activation and has the potential to help all patients treated with5-FU● FDA and EMA have granted approval to evaluate arfolitixorin in a first line 1st line pivotal registrational trial in mCRC setting, as an

improvement of established care based on:• Favorable safety profile with established MoA• Pre-clinical and clinical documentation

● Positive Clinical Data:● PK/PD data has demonstrated significantly increased [6R]-MTHF levels in Tumors from CRC patients vs SOC2

● Study 005 resulted in promising efficacy of 59% ORR in the ARFOX patient population after at least 16 weeks of treatment3

● Full CMC process in place:● ISOFOL and MERCK has spent over 15 years developing a manufacturing process and know-how together ● CMC and commercial scale manufacturing process has been completed and there will be no delays for clinical

trials or commercial launch

[6R]-MTHF plays a vital role in improving the efficacy of 5-FU

13TS-Tymidylate Synthase; 5-FU – 5 Fluorouracil

5-FU displaced due to [6R]-MTHF shortage

5-FU is an anti metabolite i.e. a false building block that out competes the natural TS substrate

Arfolitixorin is [6R]-MTHF

i.e. [6R]/MTHF

Gene expression studies indicate that arfolitixorin has the potential to increase Progression Free Survival (PFS) in metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) patients

Background Low expression of the ABCC3 gene has been linked to poor

conversion of leucovorin into [6R]-MTHF and associated with potentially worse clinical outcome

Source: ASCO 2018, Isofol Data on file

PFS is dependent on ABCC3 expression High ABCC3 expression: 11,4 months Low ABCC3 expression: 6.7 months

Hypothesis 75% of patients with low expression of ABCC3 do not

optimally benefit from LV optimization of 5-FU efficacy and correlates with worse PFS vis-à-vis high gene expression

GENE EXPRESSION DATA based on validated method

D = 4.7

Results from the phase III AGENT study will confirm the Hypothesis that arfolitixorin substitution of leucovorin results in significant better efficacy, with those with low gene expression having the most benefit

2. Arfolitixorin generates significantly higher MTHF levels in patients tumors, can’t be

compensated by increasing the LV dose

1. MTHF is critical for 5-FU’s mode of action by blocking DNA replication and triggering cell death

MTHF in cancer treatment ABCC3 expression and PFS

3. Arfolitixorin could rescue up to ~ 75% of all mCRC patients treated with 5-FU unable to convert LV to MTHF

(improved Progression Free Survival PFS 11.4 vs 6.7 months)

Arfolitixorin – a novel drug for improving response and survival in mCRC patients- Arfolitixorin aim to improve ORR and PFS by potentiating 5-FU’s cytotoxicity

Strong support from leading CRC KOL’s

Prof. Heinz Josef Lenz – Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, USA

Professor Lenz has supported the AGENT study forthe initiation of the project. He is also chairman forour international advisory board. During our lastadboard, he gave his strong support for our projectand helped in facilitating the connections with theleading KOL network internationally.

Professor Tabernero, is the coordinating PI for theAGENT trial and as previous chairman for ESMO heis also one of the leading KOL’s worldwide. Prof.Tabernero recently published a very positivereview on the arfolitixorin opportunity (attached)and has been a strong supporter of our programfor several years back. He is also part of ourinternational advisory board.

Prof Joseph Tabernero - Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), Barcelona, Spain

Prof. Sebastian Stintzing - CharitéUniversitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Professor Yoshino is the leading colorectal KOL inJapan. When presented to the AGENT trial andarfolitixorin a bit more than a year ago, heimmediately realized the importance of the moleculeand agreed to be PI in Japan, he is also part of ourinternational adboard. Prof Yoshino was pivotal forthe success in discussions with PMDA and a verystrong supporter of the study design and endpoints.

Prof. Takayuki Yoshino - National Cancer Center Hospital East, Chiba, Japan

Professor Stintzing participated in our recentoncology seminar in Stockholm and is also both aninvestigator and adboard member. His messageduring the seminar is that Arfolitixorin is a uniqueopportunity in 1st line mCRC where there havebeen no improvements for a decade. He alsostrongly supports our endpoints in the AGENT trial.He also clearly stated the importance of theAGENT trial as a physician.

GlobalData CRC report 2018 – 2028 for 8MM- Arfolitixorin is presented as one of the most promising pipeline drugs in the new CRC report by GlobalData

● Global sales in 2028 estimated to be 8,1BUSD in 8MM with an CAGRof 2,4% from 2018. China has the highest growth rate, CAGR 4,8%.

● Avastin will maintain leadership despite introduction of biosimilarswith decreased sales from 2,4BUSD in 2018 to 1,5BUSD in 2028

● Arfolitixorin is perceived as one of the most promising pipeline drugsin CRC together with encorafenib (Braftovi).

● In US, EU and Japan, Global Data rate the launch of arfolitixorin asone of few events with major impact on the market.

● In the rating of the most important events the expected launch ofarfolitixorin in 2023 is expected to have a significant impact of themarket and perceived as a future leading brand.
