High-prescribing Urologists recognize the significant value across safety, MOA and efficacy “This is another bladder intravesical treatment available with an even lower risk of side effects than BCG and has a greater ability to prevent recurrence.” Safety & Tolerability “…the fact that it is specifically targeted towards cancer cells makes it seem as if potential adverse events that we would see with BCG would be much less likely with this product.” “It's a very directed therapy that targets the cancer cells... if you look at the clinical efficacy, it is certainly impressive in terms of the various outcomes.” Mechanism of Action “It’s a therapy that is enhancing your own immune system through cellular mediation, T cellular mediation, to attack the cancer cells and not injure the healthy cells.” “The things to me that were most impressive is that [the] efficacy data is reflecting patients who have already failed traditional therapy. So you’re taking the worst Efficacy possible patients and still showing significant efficacy…” “After patients have failed two courses of BCG, we have Valstar, but the data isn't even anywhere close to this data…” 20 Source: Sesen Bio Qualitative market research, Urologist In-depth Interviews (IDIs) June 2019, n = 30.

Appendix 27


 
Vicinium is a single fusion protein that selectively targets cancer cells Antibody Exotoxin A Linker Fragment Payload • Antibody fragment (scFv) targeting EpCAM linked to a cytotoxic payload (Pseudomonas exotoxin A) to form a single protein • EpCAM over-expressed in cancer cells • Highly selective targeting of cancer cells while generally sparing normal cells • Inhibits protein synthesis, and kills both rapidly proliferating and slow-growing cancer cells • Effective against multi-drug resistant cancer cells • High potency relative to other available agents 28


 
Vicinium: Dual Mechanism of Action Mechanism 1: Exotoxin A Payload Kills cell directly Non-cleavable Ligand-checkpoint peptide Linker Vicinium interaction deactivates Antibody Fragment anti-tumor response Checkpoint Vicinium selectively Vicinium does not induce expression T cells recognize targets EpCAM of immunosuppressive markers neoantigen and kill cancer cells Ligand Mechanism 2: Activates immune system Checkpoint Vicinium causes inhibitor immunogenic cell death by triggering Neoantigen damage-associated release molecular patterns (DAMPs) T cell proliferation Checkpoint inhibitors reactivate T cell anti-tumor activity DAMPS “Eat signal” APC Activation Neoantigen presentation “Find signal” and T cell activation Memory T cell Scientific Hypothesis: Induction of immunogenic cell death by Vicinium may facilitate a T-cell mediated anti-tumor response that could synergize with the ability of checkpoint inhibitors to relieve immunosuppression 29

Partial response, as measured by bladder mapping, is defined by non-complete response patients who had either a reduction in tumor size or did not experience an increase in bladder area affected. Bladder mapping was not done as part of the Phase III trial, therefore partial response data are not available. 35


 
Duration of Response: 52% of CIS patients who had a complete response at 3 PIII months remained disease-free for a total of 12 months after starting treatment CIS Patients Median Duration of Response is 287 days (95% CI, 154-NE* days) (9.4 months)** 100 KM Estimate 80 X Censored 95% CI 60 52% 39% 40 % of Patients with Complete Response 20 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 At time of first CR (90 days) Time after first CR (months) KM Evaluable 36 35 21 16 13 10 6 4 Patients: Duration of response is defined as the time of complete response to treatment failure. *Not Estimable, the upper bound for the 95% confidence interval has not reached the median. **Note: Data reflect an ad hoc analysis of pooled results of patients in cohorts 1&2.

Time to cystectomy: defined as the time from the date of first dose of study treatment to surgical bladder removal. Data reflected consist of patients from all cohorts 1, 2 & 3 (n=133). Note: Average time to cystectomy from transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for NMIBC patients with high-risk papillary disease in Europe is ~105 days (National Institute of Health, Timing of radical cystectomy in Central Europe - multicenter study on factors influencing the time from diagnosis to radical treatment of bladder cancer patients, Poletajew S, et al., 2015.) Additional FDA guidance states that although delay in radical cystectomy is considered a direct patient benefit, the variations in patient and health care provider preferences can confound the interpretation of this endpoint in randomized trials and particularly in single-arm trials. Nevertheless, sponsors should collect these data, which may provide supportive evidence of effectiveness. 39

The Comparability Strategy for Vicinium has been accepted by the FDA* Guidance “If a manufacturer can provide assurance of comparability through analytical studies alone, nonclinical or clinical studies with the post-change product are not warranted.”1 Sesen’s analytical comparability plan is comprised of 4 key elements: 1. Analytical Release Testing • Assesses the purity, biological activity and general characteristics of the protein (e.g. purity by HPLC, endotoxin content) 2. Biophysical Characterization • Assesses the structural characteristics of the protein (e.g. Peptide Mapping, Differential Scanning Calorimetry) 3. Forced Degradation Studies • Assesses the degradation pathway of the protein when exposed to stress conditions (e.g. purity by HPLC after temperature and pH extremes) 4. Stability Studies • Assesses the stability of the protein under long-term and accelerated storage conditions (e.g. purity by HPLC after storage at -20°C and 2-8°C) *At the May 20, 2019, Type C CMC meeting, Sesen reached agreement with the FDA on the Analytical Comparability Plan. Subject to final comparability data to be provided in the BLA submission, no additional clinical trials to establish comparability are deemed necessary at this time. 1International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Q5E, Comparability of biotechnological/biological products subject to changes in their manufacturing process. 50 HPLC, high performance liquid chromatography.
