EO-3021 Summary ▪ Antibody drug conjugate composed of a fully human IgG1 CLDN18.2 selective mAb conjugated at Q295 with a vcMMAE linker payload to give DAR2 ▪ Promotes cell killing of cell lines expressing CLDN18.2 and a consequential bystander effect on CLDN18.2 negative cells ▪ Robust in vivo activity in xenografts with varying levels of CLDN18.2 • Single dose tumor regressions in models with varying levels of CLDN18.2 with a lower minimal efficacious dose in models with medium and high levels of CLDN18.2 relative to models with low CLDN18.2 ▪ Pharmacology/toxicology integrated data suggest EO-3021 can achieve doses in humans that results in anti-tumor activity ▪ Confirmed PR (66.7% reduction) with 11 months (and ongoing) duration of response in a patient living with metastatic gastric cancer in an ongoing Phase I clinical trial (NCT05009966) ▪ Elevation Oncology sponsored Phase I trial to initiate in US 2H 2023 19
