Prima BioMed is changing

- Between 2001 and 2014 we developed a cancer vaccine called CVacTM, which generated favourable clinical data in second-remission ovarian cancer

- In late 2014 we acquired Paris-based Immutep (Dec. 2014), focused on the immune checkpoint receptor LAG-3

- In 2015 we will concentrate on LAG-3 related development and aim to partner CVac without additional clinical trials

Prima BioMed today

- A cancer drug development company focused mainly on immuno-oncology, arguably the hottest area of oncology today

- A global company with talent in Europe, the US, and Australia

- A company with a dominant position in what we think is the

next big immuno-oncology target, LAG-3, putting us on track to develop a future blockbuster drug

- The Immutep portfolio has multiple partnerships including with GSK and Novartis

The Immuno-Oncology Revolution is here

- Yervoy® (ipilimumab) from BMS, targeting CTLA-4, FDA approved in March 2011 and now a billion dollar drug

- Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), from Merck & Co., targeting PD-1, FDA approved in September 2014

- Opdivo® (nivolumab) from BMS, another PD-1 inhibitor, FDA approved December 2014

- Very good data (with the right patients) means the race is on for other immuno-oncology drugs

There are two basic trends to the Immuno-Oncology Boom

- Trend 1 – Development of new immuno-

oncology targets (eg Various PD-L1 drugs in development from Roche, AstraZeneca and Merck Serono)

- Trend 2 – Combinations of existing immuno-

oncology drugs (eg Lilly trialling Alimta® and Cyramza® as well as EGFR-targeting necitumimab with Keytruda®)

- We benefit from both trends

What is LAG-3?

- LAG-3 (CD223) - “Lymphocyte Activation Gene 3” - expressed on activated T cells, NK cells, B cells and dendritic cells

- LAG-3 is a ligand for MHC class II molecules

- On T cells, LAG-3 is an inhibitory receptor that down-modulates their proliferation and activation. This happens when LAG-3/MHC

Class II co-caps with CD3/TCR complex

- Since LAG-3 is widely expressed on T-cells infiltrating human tumours, it is a prime target for an immune checkpoint blocker alongside CTLA-4 and PD-1, with which it is functionally similar

- On dendritic cells LAG-3 is an activator, causing increased antigen presentation when it binds to MHC Class II

LAG-3 is promising as a drug target

- LAG-3 is expressed on multiple tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (Eur. J. Cancer. 2001;37:1709–1718)

- LAG-3 works by direct effects on CD8+ T cells (J Clin Invest. 2007 Nov;117(11):3383-92.)

- Dual targeting of LAG-3 and PD-1 is synergistic in vitro and in vivo (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2010 Apr 27;107(17):7875-80; Cancer Res. 2012 Feb 15;72(4):917-27)

- LAG-3 seems to be vital for Treg functioning (PLoS One. 2014 Nov 5;9(11):e109080.)

We lead the LAG-3 field …

- Professor Frédéric Triebel discovered LAG-3 in 1990 (See J Exp Med. 1990 May 1;171(5):1393-405.)

- Triebel et. al., as part of a collaboration between Institut Gustave Roussy and Merck Serono, established over the decade to 2001 LAG-3’s mechanism of action in T cells and dendritic cells.

- Immutep was formed in Paris in 2001 to develop LAG-3 as a cancer and autoimmune disease target - We acquired Immutep in late 2014 for US$25m(US$18m cash, with $10.8m upfront plus $3m shares and $4m warrants)

- Professor Triebel is now our Chief Scientific and Medical Officer and continues to oversee his lab

LAG-3 has lagged PD-1 and CTLA-4, but our time has now come

- Immutep was a small, venture-backed company with limited resources

- Initial Phase II data wasn’t generated until 2010

- The Immuno-Oncology Revolution only started with Yervoy in 2011…

- …but since 2011 global search for other Immuno -Oncology targets has heightened interest in LAG-3 and our products

- After >15 years work by Triebel et. al., we are well positioned

Pharma is already looking at LAG-3

- Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) is in Phase I with anti-LAG-3 monoclonal antibody called BMS-986016

- BMS is developing LAG-3 antibodies in combination with PD-1 inhibitors (see NCT01968109 at clinicaltrials.gov)

- This is distinct from PRR’s soluble LAG-3, as mechanisms of action are different

- Novartis licensed LAG-3 antibodies from us and are pre-clinical

- PRR expects other Big Pharma players to be looking at LAG-3 – it’s a validated target

- Hold upside in markets outside China for soluble LAG-3 (IMP321), with its unique mechanism of in cancer

- Benefit from antibodies to LAG-3 through commercial partnerships

IMP321 is soluble LAG-3

- A soluble dimeric recombinant form of LAG-3 (ie fusion protein with immunoglobulin), designed to activate Antigen Presenting Cells. Protein is highly stable and has high affinity for its target

- Induces activation of dendritic cell and monocytes, from which T

cell expansion follows (J Immunol. 2008 Mar 15;180(6):3782-8)

- Phase IIa data in metastatic breast cancer suggests that IMP321 works as a chemo-immunotherapeutic, where chemotherapy creates tumour debris, and IMP321 increases activation of APCs as they take up that debris

- We also believe that IMP321 at low doses can be used as a T cell

adjuvant for cancer vaccines (Clin Cancer Res. 2008 Jun 1;14(11):3545-54)

APC-based Mechanism of Action -IMP321 gives us competitive advantage

- Antibodies to LAG-3 upregulate T-cell proliferation and activation, just like antibodies to PD-1 and CTLA-4, however…

- Soluble LAG-3 can increase activation of APCs as they take up tumor debris after chemotherapy – the existing checkpoint molecules can‘t do this

- This suggests that soluble LAG-3 therapy has less risk of immune-related adverse events, and is also synergistic with

PD-1 inhibition

CVac: Cancer vaccine

CVac is ex vivo dendritic cell priming with a mannan+MUC1 fusion protein

MUC1 is cell surface protein overexpressed in epithelial tumours, most notably ovarian and pancreatic (>80%)

Oxidised mannan as adjuvant is designed to be taken up by dendritic cells

Phase II CAN-003 study in ovarian cancer inconclusive for CVac at interim PFS for all comers in 2013, but for second-remission patients worked well

We have been reviewing CVac since October

- Our general priority for CVac in late 2014 was “Active management of clinical development program to ensure best potential clinical benefit and optimal capital allocation” *

- We indicated that we intended to “review the CAN-004A trial in the light of the CAN-003 results, the Immutep acquisition and the clinical development priorities of IMP321, CAN-004B and CAN-301” *

* See AGM presentation, 14 November 2014, slide 17

However…

- Despite the promising nature of CVac, and cancer vaccines generally, their clinical development is much more complex and costly than drugs like Yervoy and Keytruda.

- As a small biotech company we have to focus our attention and investment on the lower cost, higher potential opportunities, which have the best chance of creating blockbusters

- For Prima in 2015, the lower cost, higher potential opportunities lie in LAG-3

- As a consequence we are ceasing recruitment into CVac‘s CAN-004B study with second remission ovarian cancer and CAN-301 study with pancreatic cancer

We continue to benefit from CVac

- The CAN-003 final Overall Survival number is coming later in 2015

- We remain partnered with Neopharm for Israel / Palestinian territories

- PRR’s efficient manufacturing and logistics platform for cellular therapy has the potential to be monetised through business development transactions

- CVac has Orphan Drug status in the EU and US, reducing intellectual property risk. As a biological it also benefits from 12 years data exclusivity in the US under PPACA (ie Obama healthcare reforms)

- We believe that partnering opportunities may emerge

So why are we are ceasing CVac clinical development?

- As noted above, cancer vaccines are more complex and costly to develop and produce and therefore more expensive than checkpoint inhibitor drugs

- We will lower our cost base significantly, to ~A$700,000 per month (from A$1.1m)

- We will seek to retain upside through future business develoment activity

- We believe, in the light of recent launches of immuno-oncology launches (ie Yervoy, Keytruda and Opdivo), that there is much more upside in LAG-3
