mutation is linked with a less favorable prognosis.

SEL120: Active U.S. IND in AML and HR-MDS,

first patient dosed in September 2019

SEL120 as “first in class” demonstrates therapeutic potential via several mechanisms of action

Direct cytotoxicity (induction of apoptosis)

Eradication of Leukemic Stem Cells (LSC) known to be responsible for tumor relapse activity in AML

Project has received $3.25 M from

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Therapy Acceleration Program (TAP)

SEL120 presents different features comparedto current treatments

Can be given to patients independently of mutational status

Can be safely and effectively combined with standard-of-care chemo (e.g. Ara-C), as well as, with recent emerging compounds (e.g. venetoclax) Potential to expand to additional

indications in oncology and rare diseases

Data readout from Phase 1b expected in 2021

CDK8 KINASE

• Inhibition of CDK8 activity with SEL120 selectively targets leukemic

cells, spearing normal blood cells

• CDK8 inhibition in leukemia cell results in cell death

and differentiation

• SEL120 can repress increased levels of anti-apoptotic proteins

and induce lineage commitment genes in cancer cells

• Promising novel therapeutic target in multiple indications across blood

cancers and solid tumors1

• CDK8 and its paralog CDK19 are part of the Mediator kinase module

which translates signals from enhancers to promoters, playing

a central role in oncogenic transcription2

• CDK8 regulates activity of STAT5 which drives expression

of genes essential for identity, survival and drug resistance

of cancer cells3

23

SEL24/MEN1703 is a differentiated,first-in-class PIM/FLT3 dual kinase inhibitor

• PIM and FLT3 are oncogenes involved in AML

• Dual targeting creates potential for broader activity,

more durable responses than selective FLT3

inhibitors such as gilteritinib

• Potential for treating patients that have relapsed

on selective FLT3 inhibitors - PIM kinases are largely

responsible for the development of resistance

to FLT3 inhibitors

• SEL24/MEN1703 is in Phase 1/2 stud at five major

cancer centers in the U.S.

• Menarini is planning expansion to 40 sites in U.S.

and Europe

CLINICAL RATIONALE

• Developed by Ryvu up to initiationof clinical studies and out-licensing

• Partnered globally with Menarini in 2017

• Menarini is fully responsible for clinical development and funds translational research at Ryvu

• $5.6M – upfront payment

• $104M – total potential value of milestones& refund of R&D costs

• Up to double digit royalties for Ryvu from

“CLI24-001: First-in-human study of SEL24/MEN1703, an oral dual PIM/FLT3 kinase inhibitor,

in patients with acute myeloid leukemia” (abstract PF281)

EHA Abstract/Poster summary:

• Study was initiated in 2017 as the first clinical trial testing a dual PIM/FLT3 inhibitor in patients with AML regardless of the FLT3 status

and potentially able to overcome FLT3 inhibitor resistance

• Aim of the study: determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), the PK profile and the single agent activity in R/R or newly diagnosed

AML patients

• As of May 2019, n=22 patients were treated and the study is currently completing the dose escalation part

• Cohort expansion at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is planned to confirm the safety profile and assess single agent activity

at approximately 40 sites in the U.S. and EU.

Cancer Metabolism and Immunometabolism platforms addressmechanisms of evasion of immune response

• Adenosine signaling pathway is one of key metabolic

pathways that regulate tumor immunity

• Adenosine is an immunosuppressive metabolite used

by tumors to escape immunosurveillance

• Adenosine signaling through A2A and A2B receptors

expressed on immune cells dampens immune responses

in inflamed tissues

• Dual targeting of A2A/A2B should result in enhanced

immunostimulatory responses

HIGH ADENOSINE CONCENTRATION IS HIGHLY SUPPRESSIVE OF AN ANTI-TUMORAL IMMUNE RESPONSE

Antigen presenting cells – dendritic cells

and macrophages in particular

Sting agonists mobilize immune system promoting

cancer neoantigens presentation by dendritic cells,

CD8+ T cells activation and sensitize resistant

Next generation small molecule, direct STING agonists in immuno-oncology

EFFICACY IN VIVO – ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL FOR SYSTEMIC ADMINISTRATION

Unique small-molecule chemical structure of Ryvu STING agonistsprovides competitive differentiation and potential for systemic administration

• STING agonists kill malignant cells,

acting to generate a cancer-specific

therapeutic vaccine

• Transform cold, resistant tumors

to treatment sensitive, hot cancers

• Unlock the potential of checkpoint

inhibitors and other therapies

• Directly bind to human and mouse STING proteins

• Unique structure unrelated to known cyclic dinucleotide STING agonists

• Covers all patient populations –active in cyclic dinucleotide refractory STING variants

• Ongoing optimization towards systemic administration

WELL-RECOGNIZED POTENTIALOF STING AS A THERAPEUTIC TARGET

HIGHLY DIFFERENTIATEDPROPERTIES

• In vivo efficacy in systemic dosing and potency in antigen presenting immune cells on par with the most potent publicly disclosed preclinical STING agonists (GSK)

• Outperform clinical dinucleotide agonists

• Ongoing optimization towardspre-clinical candidate

Ryvu Synthetic Lethality Platform

The first project: selective SMARCA2 inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer

SYNTHETIC LETHALITY DISCOVERY PLATFORMSWI/SNF COMPLEX MUTATIONS ARE LINKED TO MULTIPLE CANCER TYPES

SMARCA4 - SIXTH THE MOST MUTATED GENE IN NSCLC

Project involves synthetic lethality of SMARCA2 inhibition

in SMARCA4 loss-of-function tumors

• Well-defined target population in non-small cell lung cancer

6-11% patients have SMARCA4 mutations

• Potential indication expansion into tumors with SWI/SNF

complex mutations or SMARCA4 mutations

• ~70 man-years invested in internal SL platform

• Multiple programs on novel targets on-going

First-in-class SMARCA2/BRM inhibitors have been identified

(Araujo et al., 2015)
