NASDAQ: CTOR | 6 Considered to be incurable, CTCL is a Subgroup of Non - Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) that can be Indolent or Aggressive and is Driven by Malignant T Cells CTCL is a general term for T - cell lymphoma that involves the skin, but may also involve the blood, lymph nodes, and internal organs CTCL accounts for approximately 4% of all non - Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) 1 More prevalent in men than women and usually appears in patients in their 50s and 60s 60% 3 - 5% 37% CTCL Prevalence by Subtype 2 Mycosis Fungoides Sezary Syndrome Other CTCL Patients with persistent or recurrent CTCL require systemic therapy 1.

NASDAQ: CTOR | 8 DIFFERENTIATED MECHANISM OF ACTION (MOA) LYMPHIR targets the IL - 2 receptor, working both as a targeted therapy against malignant T - cells AND as an immunotherapy against Tregs IL - 2 receptor offers a unique treatment opportunity in CTCL Malignant T - cells and Tregs share a common marker: the IL - 2 receptor Targets Malignant Cells Binds to IL - 2 receptors to deliver diphtheria toxin, killing tumor cells directly Eliminates Immunosuppressive Tregs Reduces number of Treg cells, subsequently enhancing anti - tumor immunity

 

 

NASDAQ: CTOR | 9 COMPELLING CLINICAL DATA LYMPHIR addresses CTCL’s heavy Quality of Life burden 1. Objective Response is Complete Response and Partial Response according to the ISCL/EORTC Global Response Score. 2. In the Primary Efficacy Analysis set, 84.4% (54/64) of skin evaluable subjects had a decrease in skin tumor burden, with 48.4% subjects with ≥50% reduction in skin tumor burden. Complete clearing of skin disease (skin CR) was observed in 12.5% (8/64) subjects. 3. The duration of response (DOR) was at least 6 months for 52% of responders and at least 12 months for 20% of responders (25/69 patients). OBJECTIVE RESPONSE RATE 1 36% 9% achieved complete response 27% achieved partial response Median number of months to achieve an objective response (complete or partial response) RAPID RESPONSE TIME 1.4 months Median months of disease control among patients who responded to E7777 3 DURABLE RESPONSE 6.5 months Reduction in skin tumor burden among evaluable patients 48.8% of patients with ≥50% reduction in skin tumor burden 2 REDUCED SKIN BURDEN 84.4%

 

 

DEMONSTRATED SAFETY NASDAQ: CTOR | 10 Overall, LYMPHIR was well - tolerated with the use of pre - medications, close patient monitoring, and prompt initiation of supportive measures and drug management • No evidence of cumulative toxicity • Most patients experienced grade 1/2 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) Grade ≥3 6% CAPILLARY LEAK SYNDROME 0% Grade ≥3 loss in visual acuity VISUAL IMPAIRMENT 6% Grade ≥3 INFUSION REACTION LYMPHIR’s full prescribing information: https://www.lymphirhcp.com/prescribing - information.pdf

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH BEYOND CTCL • University of Pittsburgh: an investigator - initiated trial is underway to evaluate LYMPHIR for potential use as an immuno - oncology therapy in combination with KEYTRUDA® in patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors (NCT05200559) • Encouraging preliminary results of interim analysis: • 15 evaluable patients showed 27% ORR; 33% Clinical Benefit Rate; median Progression Free Survival of 57 weeks (for patients that achieved a clinical benefit) • The data supports further evaluation of this combination across a broader range of solid tumor types • Phase 1 Preliminary study data (n=25) anticipated Q4 2025/Q1 2026 • University of Minnesota: LYMPHIR in combination with CAR T therapies (NCT04855253) • Phase 1 study to evaluate the potential benefit of LYMPHIR given prior to CAR T therapy in patients with high risk relapsed/refractory B - cell lymphomas • Preliminary study results anticipated Q1 2026 • Logical label expansion potential in PTCL where there is a high unmet need and no curative therapies 1.
