Weeks Since Treatment Initiation

■■ Thirty-one response-evaluable patients at data cutoff (10 Oct 2017)■■ Two confirmed partial responses (uterine papillary serous carcinoma and MSI-H colorectal carcinoma)■■ Two unconfirmed partial responses (squamous cell lung carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma)■■ Nine patients with stable disease as best response■■ Others had radiographic progressive disease or clinical progression

19mm L ax LN 11mm

21mm R Ex Iliac LN 11mm

Screening End of Cycle 2

■■ 64-yr-old female with uterine papillary serous carcinoma (3 mg/kg q2W)■■ Prior treatments: TAH-BSO with 6 cycles of adjuvant carboplatin + taxol■■ Target lesions: 19 mm L axillary lymph node; 21 mm R Ext Iliac lymph node■■ Scans demonstrate 45% and 40% decreases in tumor burden at end of Cycles 2 and 4, respectively■■ Patient remains on study, currently on Cycle 6

Conclusions■■ MGA012 has demonstrated:

– An acceptable safety profile – Predictable PK/PD – Early evidence of anti-tumor activity

■■ Dose Expansion ongoing in tumor-specific cohorts at 3 mg/kg q2W in U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand■■ Future trials planned for combination testing of MGA012 with T-cell re-directed, CD-3 based DART® molecules

Key Study ObjectivesPrimary Objective ■■ Characterize safety, tolerability, DLT, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) of MGA012 when administered IV every two or four weeks to patients with relapsed/refractory unresectable locally-advanced or metastatic solid tumors

Secondary Objectives■■ Characterize PK and immunogenicity of MGA012■■ Investigate preliminary anti-tumor activity of MGA012 using both conventional RECIST 1.1 and immune-related RECIST (irRECIST)

Exploratory Objectives■■ Explore relationships between PK, pharmacodynamics, patient safety, and anti-tumor activity of MGA012■■ Investigate immune-regulatory activity of MGA012 in vivo, including various measures of T cell activation in peripheral blood and/or tumor biopsy specimens■■ Determine PD-L1 expression via IHC staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor biopsy specimens■■ Determine relationships between membranous expression of PD-L1 on tumor cells, immune cell infiltration within biopsy specimens (e.g., CD4+ and CD8+ T cells), PD-L1 expression on immune cell infiltrate, and clinical response via IHC■■ Characterization of T-cell repertoire using T-cell receptor spectratyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Entry CriteriaKey Inclusion Criteria■■ Dose escalation: histologically proven, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors for whom no approved therapy with demonstrated clinical benefit is available or standard treatment was declined. Disease-specific criteria to be applied in Cohort Expansion■■ Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1■■ Life expectancy ≥12 weeks■■ Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1■■ Acceptable laboratory parameters

Key Exclusion Criteria■■ Symptomatic central nervous system metastases■■ Patients with prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4) are not eligible in Cohort Expansion■■ History of known or suspected autoimmune disease with specific exceptions■■ Treatment with any systemic anti-neoplastic therapy, or investigational therapy within 4 weeks; radiation therapy or corticosteroid treatment within 2 weeks ■■ Clinically significant cardiovascular or pulmonary disease

■■ For 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg dose levels: – Cmax and AUCinf are dose proportional – T1/2 (β) approximately 17 days – Achievement of steady-state in approximately 85 days

■■ For 1 mg/kg dose level: – MGA012 showed faster elimination; however, only 3 patients evaluated

T-cell Receptor Occupancy

■■ Full and sustained receptor occupancy of MGA012 at all dose levels evaluated on both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells■■ Complete loss of competing fluorescently labeled anti-PD-1 staining (eJBio105 clone) at all dose levels

Background

MGA012: Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) with Favorable Design Features

■■ Humanized proprietary anti-PD-1 mAb – Hinge stabilized humanized IgG4 – Benchmarks favorably against approved anti-PD-1 mAbs

■■ Anti-PD-1 becoming mainstay of cancer immunotherapy■■ Basis for combination immunotherapy

MGA012: Favorable Preclinical Profile

MGA012MGA012 Compared to:

Nivolumab* Pembrolizumab*

Affinity for human PD-1 >4x greater >6x greater

Off-rate for human PD-1 ~2x slower ~6x slower

Cell binding (MFI) > Equivalent

PD-L1/PD-L2 binding blockade > >

T-cell activation (IFNγ) Equivalent Equivalent

PK in cynomolgus monkeys > Equivalent

MGA012 Results

Tissue cross-reactivity No unanticipated findings

Toxicology in cynomolgus monkeys: IV at 10, 40 or 150 mg/kg; QW x 4

Well tolerated at all doses No unanticipated findings

NOAEL = 150 mg/kg

Predicted half-life in humans ~18 days *Replicas of nivolumab and pembrolizumab produced at MacroGenics

Rationale for Targeting PD-1

■■ Checkpoint receptors are subverted by tumors or APCs to evade immune system

– Tumors induce state of immune suppression (TGF-β)

■■ PD-1 receptors are expressed on “exhausted” T cells■■ Interactions with corresponding ligands negate anti-tumor T cell activity
