• Juno has been working on a series of CAR-T drugs (JCAR014 and JCAR015). CAR-T drugs supercharge the body’s immune

response to more directly and effectively target cancers. Celgene’s USD 1 billion investment is a huge sign of confidence in

the emerging therapy

Updated results of the JCAR014 Phase I trials include translational insights of dramatically improved CAR T cell peak and

persistence

JCAR015 Phase I results showed complete remission in a high number of test patients and a median OS of 8.5 months

• The deal gives Celgene 10 percent stake of Juno’s stock and also the rights to sell Juno’s therapies around the world

• The finance part of the deal is straightforward, however assets that will change hands are more confusing

• A Similar type of deal has happened in past between Roche and Genentech (the deal gave Roche access to Genentech's

oncology drugs outside the US)

• The Roche and Genentech deal is a success story and if Celgene-Juno partnership goes similarly well then Celgene might

eventually buy Juno

• Celgene could have purchased Juno now, but the structure of the deal allows a lot more flexibility for Celgene:

Celgene has to pay less up-front to tie up Juno's assets, but gets to sit back and see how Juno's CAR-T performs

There was huge risk involved for Celgene as CAR-T is a relatively new technology and Juno only became a company a

year and a half ago

• The deal highlights the R&D race to develop new drugs that re-engineer T cells, arming them with CARs so that they target

cancer cells

• Juno and Novartis are viewed as the leaders in the field, with Juno from a start-up to a major new force in the biotech world

in less than two years

The deal: Development stage biotech and a large drug company

Why Juno?

Deal highlights (2/2)

• Generic drug makers are trying to get patent protection for Revlimid, removed

• Q1 2015 Sales of Revlimid: USD 1.3 billion (this revenue can suffer, if generics enter market)

Why this partnership’s success is important for Celgene?

• As part of the deal, Celgene will pay Juno USD 150 million, as well as buy around 9.1 million shares of Juno's common stock

at USD 93.00/share

• Celgene is making USD 1 billion bet on game changing science

• Celgene may have paid too much of a premium for a stake in a company that has no revenue and may be years from

getting a treatment approved and on the market

• Future growth potential is worth the price

Celgene knows its business fairly well and its specialties complement the development Juno is doing

If this immunotherapy can be used for multiple kinds of cancer, that can open up a number of different product lines

Buying into Juno at an early stage, the investment will be cheaper now and Celgene can also influence the direction of

further research

Benefit of CAR-T drugs for cancer patients: They not just improve survival, but they don't require traditional chemotherapy

and radiation. The demand of this type of treatment would be high among healthcare providers and patients and this in turn

increase revenue

This deal gives Celgene a good head start to expand its product lines and maintain financial growth

Is the deal too costly for Celgene?

The science: CAR Technology

The patient receives lymphodepleting

chemotherapy to reduce the level of

WBCs and help the body accept the

reprogrammed T cells White blood cells, including T cells,

are separated from the patient’s

blood in a process called

leukapheresis. They are then sent

to a manufacturing facility for

reprogramming

Reprogrammed T cells

Ex vivo, in a manufacturing

facility, genes encoded to

recognize specific cancer

KOL Comments: Perspectives and opinions

CAR-Ts overcomes two clinical problems when it comes to fighting cancer:

1. Cancer can effectively hide itself from the body’s immune system, so regular T cells aren’t able to find the intruder

2. Cancer often dampens the immune system

CAR-T drugs, work around these two challenges

……………….” CAR-T is a promising therapy, It effectively works its way around the body, eradicating cancer, but it’s

a bit of a wild beast that one needs to keep on a leash. Working out how to do that is where the challenges lie”

Stephen Ansell, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic

“Celgene is a world class oncology company that is investing a billion dollars in our company, and I do think that

reinforces our belief in the potential of using Car-T in solid tumors……………It's clearly a very significant deal

financially, but more important is the potential of the science and the potential together to be a broader leader in

the immuno-oncology space”……………

”This unique collaboration is designed to catalyze and create tremendous ongoing scientific and product development

synergy by leveraging each company's strengths and assets……In addition to its established global presence and

commercial reach, Celgene has leading small molecule and protein capabilities that complement Juno's advanced

engineered T cell capabilities. By doing this together, we believe we can more quickly and effectively develop

potentially disruptive therapies in this new field of medicine and make them more readily available to patients

worldwide”

“We are now in a stronger than ever position to become a leader in the cellular immunotherapy space ……The

collaboration also brings together unique and complementary strengths that promise to create a leader in immuno-

oncology more broadly”

KOL Comments: Perspectives and opinions

“This deal comes as a surprise to us given the very limited validation for Car-T cell approaches" outside some blood

cancers……………. Juno's management and investors are to be congratulated for securing such favourable early

financing for their company, well in advance of the delivery of much value from their platform”

“Celgene’s management are to be congratulated on the audacity of their deal making, but we expect investors to bridle

at the company’s increasingly aggressive front-end loading of their transactions………. This transaction amounts to

pre-paying much of the cost of a distant asset well in advance of the delivery of the asset”

Geoff Porges, an analyst at Bernstein

“Celgene is making a big commitment to CAR-T as we think this will be an important hematological platform……….. but

certainly would agree with the likely pending consensus view that the price tag is also big”

Michael Yee, RBC Capital Partners analyst

“We're only starting to understand the full impact" of this therapeutic approach…………..

A slate of new deals is expected to start generating significant revenue by 2020”…..

”Juno has the best-in-class CAR-T and T cell receptors”…………. “This transaction strengthens Celgene's position

in the emerging and transformative area of immuno-oncology…………Juno has assembled world-class experts and

built impressive capabilities and technologies in the areas of T-cell biology and cellular therapy; we believe this long-

term collaboration enhances the potential of both companies to deliver transformational therapies to patients with

significant unmet medical needs”

Collaboration details

• Amgen and Roche have collaborated on a Phase Ib study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Talimogene Laherparepvec (Amgen's investigational oncolytic immunotherapy) in

combination with Atezolizumab (Roche's investigational anti-PDL1 therapy), in patients with triple-negative breast cancer

and colorectal cancer with liver metastases

According to Roche, it is the first trial to combine investigational immunotherapies for triple-negative breast cancer and

colorectal cancer with liver metastases

• Talimogene Laherparepvec:

It is an investigational oncolytic immunotherapy designed to selectively replicate in tumors (but not normal tissue) and to

initiate an immune response to target cancer cells

• Atezolizumab:

It is an investigational monoclonal antibody designed to interfere with the PD-L1 proteins

• Talimogene Laherparepvec + Atezolizumab:

Combining these two investigational agents will activate an anti-tumor immune response with Talimogene Laherparepvec

and will block inhibitory T cell checkpoints with Atezolizumab, to potentially increase the anti-tumor activity relative to each

agent alone

Tumor cells

Mature dendritic cells

• T-Vec is an oncolytic immunotherapy designed to selectively replicate in tumors (but not normal tissue)

and to initiate an immune response to target cancer cells that have metastasized

First, T-Vec is injected directly into tumors where it replicates inside the tumor's cells causing the cell to

rupture and die in a process called lysis

The rupture of the cancer cells can release TSAs, along with GM-CSF, that can stimulate a system-wide

immune response where WBCs are able to seek out and target cancer that has spread throughout the

body

Anti PD-L1: Atezolizumab

• Atezolizumab is an monoclonal antibody. It is designed to interfere with a protein called PD-L1

Atezolizumab is designed to target PD-L1 expressed on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells, preventing it from binding to

PD-1 on the surface of T cells

By inhibiting PD-L1, Atezolizumab may enable the activation of T cells, restoring their ability to effectively detect and attack tumor cells

KOL Comments: Perspectives and opinions

“Atezolizumab is our most advanced cancer immunotherapy with 10 ongoing Phase 3 pivotal trials across lung,

bladder, breast and kidney cancers............ We are looking forward to working with Amgen on this trial, which can

inform potential future treatment options for patients affected by very difficult-to-treat tumor types”

Sandra Horning, M.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development

“We believe that talimogene laherparepvec has potential to help patients in several cancer types based on its

mechanism of action to promote tumor antigen release and presentation, important steps in activating a systemic

immune response............ This further builds our alliance network in oncology and we look forward to collaborating with

Roche on this study as part of our increasing efforts in immuno-oncology”
