Pioneering

vaccines that

transform

lives.

Immunomic Therapeutics, Inc.

LAMP-Vax for General Oncology

Presentation Outline

1. Immunomic Therapeutics: corporate overview

2. Unmet need in cancer immunotherapy landscape

3. How cancer vaccines & LAMP-Vax™ in particular is a

potential solution to current shortcomings

4. Existing data & current focus for LAMP-Vax in immuno-

oncology

5. Partnering objectives and timeline

Immunomic Therapeutics: Company Overview

Immunomic Therapeutics

• Privately held company, based in Rockville MD, founded in 2006

• LAMP-Vax™ (Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein) platform

• Strong preclinical & clinical results in allergy and cancer

• Funded by angels & family offices; less than $20 million

• In 2015, created over $317 million in licensing revenue; 2 deals with

Astellas, and over a 5-6x return for investors

• Applying LAMP-Vax to cancer immunotherapy to combat cancer &

broaden immunotherapy use and to animal health applications

Corporate Overview: Successful Platform Technology Company

Unmet Need Within Current Immunotherapy Landscape

LAMP-Vax in the Immuno-Oncology Landscape

Solution: Cancer Vaccines to Generate High Affinity T Cell Responses

Inflamed Excluded Infiltrate Immune Desert

T cells infiltrated,

but non-functional

T cells accumulated but

not efficiently infiltrated

T cells absent from

tumor and periphery

1 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.immuni.2013.07.012

Left: Inflamed tumor, where checkpoint inhibition is active.

Center: Inflamed tumor but microenvironment may prevent immune system from getting in.

Right: No immune response present, “cold tumor”.

LAMP-Vax has the potential advantage in creating high affinity CD8 by supporting helper T cells, which could add

therapeutic value to each of these categories/states.

LAMP-Vax Platform

The LAMP-Vax Platform: Mode of Action

Th1 Response and Relevance

The LAMP-Vax Platform MOA & Results

LAMP-Vax Mode of Action

• Effect presentation to the immune system via professional antigen presenting cells

• Synthesize native proteins directly in the cell

• Trafficking motif moves chimeric proteins into the MHC-II compartment in a protected

format with high efficiency

Results in:

• Antigen presentation to the MHC-II without any folding or pre-digestion issues

• Broad immune response; helper T cells elicit a humoral response while also

expanding and improving the activity of CD8+ cells

• Compatible with other therapeutics

Strengthens Immune Response and Creates Memory

Conclusions

Cancer Immuno-Oncology

Market Too Large to Miss

Oncology drug market

• $85B in 20151

• $120B - $135B by 20212

Cancer immunotherapy market

• estimates are up to $30-40B by 20233

• Immunotherapy drugs will be treating 60% of cancers in next 10

years

Cancer vaccines market

• $7.5B by 20224

• Cancer Vaccines market growing in excess of 30% per year

High pharma interest in oncology market

• 2016 Average Deal Value: over $1B

• 2016 Average Upfront Payment: over $300M

ITI will leverage the foundation

that it has on high unmet need

Summary, Timeline & Objectives

LAMP-Vax in a Phase II study in GBM and Phase I in NSCLC.

Testing in animal models to demonstrate potential POC in

various tumor types in 2017.

Data/information available under CDA in 2017:

• Existing body of Phase I and II data employing LAMP

• Mechanism of action (MoA) data (support from allergy work)

• Animal data with candidate LAMP-Vax in various tumor

models w/ preferred platform for LAMP-Vax.

• Additional information (IP, regulatory, manufacturing)

In 2017, initiating formal BD discussions with Pharma for

transaction/collaboration in oncology and animal health.

Preferred Transactions:

• Exclusive WW rights for all oncology applications OR

• Focus on specific cancer(s), products OR geography

• Willing to consider alternatives

LAMP-Vax Nucleic Acid Vaccine Platform:

Fulfills an Unmet Need in Cancer

Immunotherapy

Could activate Th1 Type Tumor Specific T

cell responses at the tumor: turn cold

tumors “hot.”

Strong foundation with LAMP-Vax

specifically in allergy & oncology

Growth since two significant licenses with

Astellas Pharma in 2015

Immunomic: prime target for partnerships

with pharmaceutical companies in

immuno-oncology
