NXP800 A Novel HSF1 - Pathway Inhibitor 8 About NXP800 • Key Highlights • Development Strategy • Scientific Background • HSF1 Pathway • In Vivo Proof Of Concept • ARID1a • Addressable Patient Population

 

 

NXP800 Key Highlights Discovered and optimized at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in the UK. The ICR discovered Zytiga, a leading drug for metastatic prostate cancer. Unique, novel molecule targeting a well - characterized biologic pathway with established relevance in oncology: Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1). Substantial tumor growth inhibition demonstrated in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and endometrioid cancer xenograft models. • ARID1a was mutated in these models, providing a marker for patient selection in clinical trials. • ARID1a is mutated in multiple solid tumor types, potentially enabling a genetic mutation - based/tumor agnostic development opportunity. 9

 

 

NXP800 Clinical Development Plan Phase 1a (Commenced in December 2021) • Accelerated dose escalation (i.e., begin with single - patient cohorts) • 5 - 7 dose levels planned • Objectives: Evaluation of safety and tolerability, and recommendation of dose and dosing schedule for Phase 1b Phase 1b • OCCC and endometrioid ovarian cancer cohorts • Objectives: preliminary efficacy, confirmation of dose and dosing schedule • Potential for additional patient cohorts with the ARID1a mutation 10

 

 

Targeting the HSF1 Pathway in Oncology Adapted from Dong 2019 . Inhibiting Heat Shock Factor 1 in Cancer: A Unique Therapeutic Opportunity . Trends in Pharmacological Sciences. HSF1 pathway addiction – enables cancer cells to overcome diverse stresses and promote biological activities crucial for cancer survival, progression, immune evasion and metastasis. • Master transcription factor regulating protein homeostasis and survival in response to proteotoxic stresses. • HSF1 also regulates a distinct gene expression pattern in response to “oncogenic stress” . 11 Cancer Phenotypes HSF1 Activity Anti - apoptosis Mutation / Aneuploidy Proliferation & Signaling Oxidative & Hyptonic Stress Biosynthetic Demand Altered Metabolism Immune Evasion Survival Metastasis Progression

OCCC and endometrioid Ovarian Cancer 13 Ovarian Cancer Net Incidence by Type 10% 10% OCCC endometrioid Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC): • US: 10% of ovarian cancer cases (~2,175 new patients/year). • ~2/3 of OCCC patients have an ARID1a mutation. Endometrioid ovarian cancer: • US: ~10% of ovarian cancer cases (~2,175 new patients/year). • ~40% of endometrioid cancer patients have an ARID1a mutation. 100% 0% • Limited treatment options, low response rate to chemotherapy treatment poor prognosis. • The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 21,410 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer in the United States in 2021 ( https://cancerstatisticscenter.cancer.org/#!/cancer - site/Ovary ).

NXP900 A Novel SRC / YES1 inhibitor 15 About NXP900 • Key Highlights • Introduction to NXP900 • SRC/YES1 signaling • Unique Mechanism of Action • In Vivo Proof of Concept • Opportunity in Solid Tumors

 

 

NXP900 Key Highlights 16 NXP900 is clearly differentiated from other SRC inhibitors, due to: • Unique MoA providing for the complete shutdown of the SRC signaling pathway • High selectivity without immune suppression effect IND - enabling studies ongoing; IND / CTA filing planned for 2H2022. Novel, Selective SRC/YES1 kinase inhibitor discovered by the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

 

 

17 SRC / YES1 Kinase Signaling SRC - mediated signal transduction involves catalytic and scaffolding elements Catalytic Domain SRC kinase family members (such as Src and Yes1) transmit pro - oncogenic signals via phosphorylation of downstream targets Scaffold Domain SH2 and SH3 domains of SRC kinase family members (such as Src and Yes1) constitute a scaffold to which other pro - oncogenic signaling molecules are recruited inducing pro - oncogenic signals Complete shutdown of SRC signaling requires inhibition of both the catalytic and scaffold activities

 

 

18 NXP900 Novel and Differentiated Mechanism of Action Closed conformation locked by NXP900 No inhibitor Fully active SRC Other multi - kinase inhibitors Partial shutdown of the SRC pathway NXP900 Complete shutdown of the SRC pathway Open conformation no inhibitor Open conformation stabilized by other multi - kinase inhibitors

 

 

19 NXP900 Superior Preclinical Activity vs. Approved Compound NXP900 inhibited tumor growth in an orthotopic model of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) in immunocompetent animals, showing superiority vs dasatinib, and substantial long - term effect after treatment completion. A,B) Comparative analysis of tumor volumes vs dasatinib C) Kaplan - Meier Survival analysis. NXP900 NXP900 NXP900 40 mg/kg, QD

 

 

NXP900 Addresses the Shortcomings of Other SRC Inhibitors 20 NXP900 provides an opportunity to treat solid tumors with a SRC inhibitor SRC overactivation is implicated in several solid tumors. However, the existing multi - kinase SRC inhibitors, including dasatinib, which is approved for CML/ALL, have only shown modest activity in solid tumors. NXP900 - Unique mechanism of SRC inhibition enables complete shutdown of the SRC pathway. NXP900 - Avoids the immunosuppressive effects demonstrated with dasatinib and other SRC inhibitors, which are a major disadvantage in solid tumors. NXP900 – Crosses the BBB , providing an opportunity in pediatric medulloblastoma, where SRC is implicated
