BOSTON – March 14, 2022 – AVEO Oncology (Nasdaq: AVEO), a commercial stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021, and provided financial guidance for 2022.

“We have seen quarter over quarter growth in FOTIVDA® (tivozanib) salessince its commercial launch on March 22, 2021, including closing the year with U.S. net product revenue of $38.9 million for 2021 and $16.8 million of U.S. net product revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021. As we look to 2022, we expect to build on our commercial momentum by continuing to expand our prescriber base and increase the utilization of FOTIVDA in the third-line setting. We believe we made significant progress on both fronts in 2021 and look to build on this momentum in 2022,” said Michael Bailey, President and Chief Executive Officer of AVEO. “In addition to our commercial team's educational and awareness initiatives, we believe the long-term progression free survival (PFS) data presented last month at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU) further support the durability of disease control demonstrated by FOTIVDA in the third- and fourth-line treatment setting. This marks the first presentation of five year follow-up data for patients being treated in this setting and helps guide clinical treatment. As we look ahead to 2022 and beyond, we remain confident that FOTIVDA has the potential to become a standard of care for adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that have received two or more prior systemic treatments.”

“Our clinical team continues to make steady progress with expanding the opportunities for FOTIVDA in an effort to move to earlier settings in combinations with novel therapies as well as advancing our pipeline of monoclonal antibodies that collectively we believe will build long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 and Recent Highlights

•Ended 2021 with quarter over quarter growth of FOTIVDA net sales and prescriptions heading into 2022

◦Fourth quarter 2021 U.S. net product revenue increased 17% from $14.3 million U.S. net product revenue in the third quarter of 2021 to $16.8 million, which reflects inventory shipped to distributors and a gross-to-net estimate of 14% during the fourth quarter. As of

December 31, 2021, U.S. net product revenue since FOTIVDA’s commercial launch on March 22, 2021 was $38.9 million, which reflects a gross-to-net-estimate of 15% for the year.

▪780 commercial prescriptions filled in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing a 26% increase from 619 commercial prescriptions filled in the third quarter of 2021.

◦FOTIVDA took the leadership position in the share of third-line RCC new patient starts in December 2021, which continued through the latest January 2022 data, as reported in IQVIA's BrandImpact report. This report suggests FOTIVDA is being more broadly adopted in the earlier third-line setting, which may result in an increase in the average treatment duration over time.

▪AVEO Specialty Pharmacy Sales Data demonstrated that the rate of early discontinuations decreased in the fourth quarter as utilization moves to earlier lines of therapy.

•Positive new five year follow-up data for PFS from the Phase 3 TIVO-3 Clinical Trial of tivozanib in R/R advanced RCC patients were presented at the 2022 ASCO GU Cancers Symposium.

◦These new long-term PFS data from patients with five years of follow up further support the durable response and improved PFS previously observed in patients treated with FOTIVDA, including:

▪Landmark long-term PFS rates were consistently higher among patients treated with FOTIVDA as compared to patients treated with sorafenib (12% vs. 2% and 7.6% vs. 0% at three and four years, respectively), representing a clinically meaningful outcome for patients in the third- and fourth-line treatment setting.

▪Long-term overall survival (OS) was also analyzed and a non-significant trend favoring FOTIVDA continued to emerge with accumulation of events (HR 0.89).

•Topline data for first-line cohort of the DEDUCTIVE trial were presented at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal (ASCO GI) Cancers Symposium.

◦New efficacy and safety data from the first line (cohort A) of the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of tivozanib in combination with AstraZeneca’s IMFINZI® (durvalumab) demonstrated a 28% partial response (PR) rate and disease control rate of 72% (PR plus stable disease) with a median PFS of 7.3 months and a 1-year OS of 76%. The data continues to support the efficacy and safety of tivozanib as an attractive vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor to use in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in first line metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

◦The DEDUCTIVE trial is currently enrolling cohort B of second line patients after treatment with bevacizumab and atezolizumab. This cohort, which will enroll up to 20 subjects, has the potential to be the first clinical study to demonstrate benefit in the emerging population of HCC patients who have previously received immunotherapy.

•Initiated Pivotal Phase 3 TiNivo-2 Trial in Advanced Refractory RCC following Prior Immunotherapy.

◦AVEO initiated the Phase 3 TiNivo-2 clinical trial evaluating tivozanib in combination with nivolumab (OPDIVO®), Bristol Myers Squibb’s antibody directed against programmed death-1, in patients with advanced refractory RCC following one or two lines of therapy, one of which must be an immunotherapy. If successful, this trial has the potential to significantly expand the market opportunity for FOTIVDA in the larger second line RCC setting. Bristol Myers Squibb is providing nivolumab clinical drug supply pursuant to a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement. We expect TiNivo-2 enrollment to be completed in the first half of 2023.

•Entered clinical development collaboration with NiKang Therapeutics, Inc. (NiKang) to evaluate the combination of NKT2152 (HIF2α) and tivozanib to treat advanced RCC.

◦AVEO entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with NiKang to evaluate NKT2152, NiKang’s hypoxia inducible factor 2α (HIF2α), in combination with tivozanibin RCC patients who have not responded to or relapsed from prior therapies. AVEO anticipates the Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the combination is expected to commence in 2022.

•Entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany to evaluate ficlatuzumab in combination with ERBITUX® (cetuximab) in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC).

◦This combination therapy has demonstrated the potential to play a meaningful part in the treatment of patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) negative R/M HNSCC, which is the majority of the patient population and is typically associated with particularly poorer patient outcomes. AVEO will serve as the trial sponsor and will be responsible for costs associated with the execution of the trial.

◦AVEO has started scale up activities for the manufacturing of ficlatuzumab clinical supply in the second quarter of 2022 to enable the initiation of a potential registrational clinical trial in HPV negative R/M HNSCC in the first half of 2023. AVEO expects to continue to discuss potential ficlatuzumab pivotal clinical trial designs with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to continue to seek a strategic partner. In September 2021, AVEO announced that the FDA granted Fast Track designation for the investigation of the combination of ficlatuzumab and cetuximab for the treatment of patients with R/R HNSCC.

•Update on Phase 1 clinical trial of AV-380.

◦The last patient was dosed in the Phase 1 healthy subject clinical trial of AV-380.

◦Initial data observed a reduction of GDF15 in subjects and no drug related adverse events were identified. However, operational errors at the trial site have caused data integrity concerns and AVEO has notified the FDA to confirm the suitability of the data for regulatory purposes and whether AVEO may publish the data from this trial. AVEO does not expect that the data quality issues in the Phase 1 clinical trial will impact its plans to initiate a Phase 1b clinical trial in cancer patients in the second half of 2022.

•Jeb Ledell Appointed as Chief Operating Officer.

◦AVEO appointed Mr. Ledell as Chief Operating Officer in December 2021, where he is responsible for overseeing operational functions key to maximizing AVEO’s organizational efficiency and advancing its pipeline of products. Mr. Ledell joins AVEO from Enzyvant Therapeutics, where he served as chief operating officer and led key business operations during the recent FDA approval of RETHYMIC®. Prior to joining Enzyvant Therapeutics, Mr. Ledell served as the chief operating officer at Compass Therapeutics and Horizon Discovery Group, during which time he led operations at both organizations through several changes in scale.

•Additional $5.0 million made available to AVEO under its Loan Facility with Hercules Capital, Inc. (Hercules) and its affiliates.

◦In late December 2021, AVEO achieved sales Performance Milestone II of $35.0 million in net product revenues from sales of FOTIVDA ahead of the April 1, 2022 deadline. Following satisfaction of Performance Milestone II, AVEO drew down the additional $5.0 million tranche in 2021.

•Entered Preclinical Research Collaboration with Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Actinium) to Develop First-in-Class Actinium-225 ErbB3 Targeting Radiotherapy for Solid Tumors.

◦In February 2022, AVEO entered into a research collaboration to develop and study a first-in-class antibody radio-conjugate (ARC) targeting ErbB3, also known as HER3. Actinium will utilize its Antibody Warhead Enabling technology platform and extensive radiotherapy know-how to conjugate one of AVEO's ErbB3 targeted antibodies with Actinium-225, a potent alpha-emitting radioisotope, to form a novel Ac-225 ErbB3 targeted radiotherapy.

Fourth Quarter and Year End 2021 Financial Highlights

•At December 31, 2021, AVEO reported $87.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as compared with $61.8 million at December 31, 2020.

•Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was approximately $17.6 million compared with $0.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Total revenue for full year 2021 was approximately $42.3 million compared to $6.0 million for full year 2020.

•FOTIVDA U.S. net product revenue was $16.8 million and $38.9 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively.

•Research and development expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $6.1 million compared with $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Research and development expense for thefull year 2021 was $26.3 million compared with $22.7 million for the full year 2020.

•Selling, general and administrative expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $15.7 million compared with $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expense for the full year 2021 was $60.8 million compared with $22.2 million for the full year 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 is primarily due to costs associated with the commercial launch of FOTIVDA.

•Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $7.3 million, or net loss of $0.21 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, or net loss of $0.44 per basic and diluted share.

•Net loss for the full year 2021 was $53.3 million, or net loss of $1.63 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $35.6 million for the full year 2020, or net loss of $1.66 per basic and diluted share.

Financial Guidance

AVEO believes that its $87.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2021, along with expected net product revenues from the sales of FOTIVDA in the United States, will enable AVEO to maintain its current operations for a period of more than 12 months from the date of filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

AVEO currently expects to achieve full year 2022 FOTIVDA U.S. net product revenues between $100.0 million and $110.0 million. AVEO expects that commercial spend will be approximately $50.0 million in 2022. AVEO expects general and administrative expense will remain at approximately $20.0 million for the year. Research and development expenses will be in the range of $60.0 million to $70.0 million in 2022 in support of our existing pipeline plans. In addition, AVEO expects that gross margins will continue to be in the mid-to-high 80th percentile in 2022.

About FOTIVDA® (tivozanib)

FOTIVDA® (tivozanib) is an oral, next-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It is a potent, selective inhibitor of VEGFRs 1, 2, and 3 with a long half-life designed to improve efficacy and tolerability. AVEO received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for FOTIVDA on March 10, 2021 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following two or more prior systemic therapies. FOTIVDA was approved in August 2017 in the European Union and other countries in the territory of its partner EUSA Pharma (UK) Limited for the treatment of adult patients with advanced RCC. FOTIVDA has been shown to significantly reduce regulatory T-cell production in preclinical models.1 FOTIVDA was discovered by Kyowa Kirin.

INDICATIONS

FOTIVDA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following two or more prior systemic therapies.

About Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

According to the American Cancer Society’s 2021 statistics, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, which is among the ten most common cancers in both men and women. Approximately 73,750 new cases of kidney cancer will be diagnosed annually and about 14,830 people will die from this disease. In patients with late-stage disease, the five-year survival rate is 13%. Agents that target the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway have shown significant antitumor activity in RCC.2 According to a 2019 publication, 50% of the approximately 10,000 patients who progress following two or more lines of therapy choose not to receive further treatment,3 which may be attributable to tolerability concerns and a lack of data to support evidence-based treatment decisions in this highly relapsed or refractory patient population.

About AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

AVEO is a commercial-stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering medicines that provide a better life for patients with cancer. AVEO currently markets FOTIVDA® (tivozanib) in the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following two or more prior systemic therapies. AVEO continues to develop FOTIVDA in immuno-oncology and other novel targeted combinations in RCC and other indications, and has other investigational programs in clinical development.
