FluoGuide at a glance

• Cancer affects everyone and represents a tremendous burden on patients, families and societies

• The quality of cancer treatment constantly improves but cancer still recur locally after surgery

• FluoGuide is committed to contribute to the improvement of care by lighten up the cancer with FG001

• One patient every third minute could benefit from FG001*)

• FG001 - data protection and patent owned by FluoGuide

• The potential goes beyond cancer surgery – intelligent surgical targeting can increase the speed and quality of all surgical procedures• 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is spent on surgery – more than €1,000 billion annually world wide

• Strong and experienced team and several near term value inflection points

2*) for FG001’s target indications (glioblastoma and breast cancer in high and upper middle income population)

Cancer recur locally as it is difficult to distinguish from normal tissue• Surgery is a cornerstone in treatment

of cancer – the surgeons want to completely remove the cancer and cure the patient

• In 15-100 % of cancer recur locally after surgery – strongly dependent on type of cancer and disease stage

• The surgeons also risk to remove extensive amount of healthy tissuepotentially leading to severe side effects and cosmetic problems

The solution is to light up the cancer

Fluorescent light

White lightLight up the cancer and its invasive growth into surrounding normal tissue

1. Inject FG001 into the patients’ vein during anesthesia as part of the surgery

2. FG001 binds to cells expressing a protein called urokinase receptor - uPAR

3. Fluorescent light is switched on during surgery and helps the surgeons remove all the cancer and preserve normal tissue

Fluorescent light indicates that cancer cells are still present

uPAR is a perfect target to guide surgery

• uPAR is extensively expressed in most solid cancers

• In particular in the aggressive invasive front of the cancer

• Perfect to delineate the cancer and precisely remove the entire cancer

• Several human cancer types have been tested preclinically and demonstrated proof-of-concept in vivo

Everyone benefits from FG001

Everyone benefits from FG0011. Patients get additional local metastases

removed

2. Hospitals’ efficiency increase, saving on fewer reoperations

Diagnose

Patient is diagnosed with cancer, typically after several examinations

Cure

50% of patients has local relapse

Surgery is a cornerstone treatment of early and localized cancer

Surgery Histology

Histology check if the margin around the tumor is clean as a predictor for complete recession

Positive margins

Negative margins

May be cured

Follow up

Re-operation and/or other

treatment

Re-operation and/or other treatment

3. Surgeons increase success rate for complete cure

4. Surgical robot suppliers get an argument for improved outcome

The concept of FG001 already proven in preclinical models• FG001 can be be made - it has been synthesizes by two

independent manufactures

• The tolerability of FG001 by humans is very likely as both the targeting molecule and the fluorophore have been demonstrated to be well tolerated in humans

• FG001 has already been proven to illuminate several different human cancers tested in preclinical models:• Glioblastoma (published)

• Head and neck cancer (published) and

• Pancreas cancer (prepared for publication)

FG001 - fast route to the market

• FG001 is classified as a medicinal product, imagining agent

• Few patients and a simple clinical study needed for approval• Clear endpoint: Additional metastases detected

• No placebo arm: Fewer patients needed

• Short time: Enrollment to surgery

• No blinding: First result known after the first few patients

• No competitive treatments: Easy to enroll patients

• First indication qualifies for orphan drug designation

Phase I/IIa

• 10-20 pts

• Optimal dose• Confirmation of

performance in humans• Safety

Phase IIb/III

• Approx. 150 pts

• Statistical proven performance accordingly to regulation

Inclusion

•Patient with cancer undergoing surgery

•Inject FG001

Surgery done under white light

Switch on fluorescent

light

•Remove extra local metastases

•Validate histologically

The concept of FG001 is proven preclinically• FG001 tested preclinically using a design of

the study similar to required for the approval study (phase IIb/III)• Human cancer,

• Operated by human surgeon and

• Using a Da Vinci robot

• FG001 helped to identify and remove local metastases in 50% of the subjects compared to standard white light procedure

• Using standard equipment already available

First indication for FG001 is brain tumor

• Approx. 60.000 patients are diagnosed with Glioblastoma (aggressive brain tumor) annually in EU & US

• Approx. 8-12% are children

• Poor prognosis with 50% dying within 14 months and only 5% alive after five years

• Precise removal is difficult – local recurrence nearly 100%

• Qualifies for orphan designation
