- CRC is the 2nd most lethal cancer in the US- KRAS is a frequent “driver” mutation in three of the four most lethal cancers- No current therapies available which effectively target mutated KRAS signaling
CONVENTIONAL CYTOTOXIC THERAPIES– 5FU, Capecitabine, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan, Trifluridine/Tipiracil and
Combinations
TARGETED THERAPIES– EGFR antibodies Cetuximab (Lilly), Panitumumab (Amgen)
– Multi-Kinase Inhibitor Regorafenib (Bayer)
– Anti-angiogenic agents Bevacizumab (Genentech), Ramicirumab(Lilly), Aflibercept (Sanofi)
SELECTED ONGOING TRIALS IN CRC

Differentiated Opportunity for Targeting KRAS Mutated Colorectal Cancers
KRAS Mutations Impact Critical Cancer Hallmarks
KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in human cancer
Key consequences of KRAS mutations:
– Increased cancer cell proliferation/cell cycle progression
– Suppression of apoptosis
– Altered cancer cell metabolism
– Changes in tumor microenvironment
A drug that modulates KRAS signaling will have substantial clinical benefit and value for a broad spectrum of cancer patients

* p=.002
Cell line screening data. KRAS genotype identified in 74 solid tumor cell lines
Overall 21 of 74 (28.6%) of solid tumors with known KRAS genotype are responsive
to BTM-10xx
KRAS genotype responsive to BTM-10xx
WT - +/+ 12 of 60 (20%)
MUT +/- 7 of 8 (88%)
MUT -/- 2 of 6 (33%)
BTM-10xx Novel Mechanism of Action: Induces Cell Cycle Arrest at G0/G1
Bantam Pharmaceutical, LLC 11
• BTM-10xx inhibits tumor cell growth with nanomolar potency
• No effects observed on normal cells
• Cell cycle arrest occurs in G0/G1
o Inhibition at G1 phase prevents processes associated with tumor growth, including cancer cell metabolism
o Potential combinations with other targeted cancer agents, including downstream cell cycle and immune checkpoint inhibitors
• Unique mechanism: not an inhibitor of CDKs or HDACs

BTM-10xx In Vitro and In Vivo Efficacy
Bantam Pharmaceutical, LLC12
BTM-10xx Inhibits Growth of KRAS Mutant Colorectal Tumor Xenografts In Vivo
• 88% TGI
• Good tolerability with no significant weight loss
• Good rodent and non-rodent PK Profile with >99% Oral Bioavailability
• EGFR antibody therapies associated with clinical benefit only in KRAS (and NRAS, BRAF) wild type patients
BTM-10xx Inhibits Growth in Multiple Cancer Cell Lines In Vitro
Induces growth arrest in solid tumors
No response in all normal human cell lines tested (e.g. fibroblasts, endothelial cell lines)
BTM-10xx
BTM-10xx Summary
▪ In vivo PoC in human KRAS mutant colorectal tumor xenografts
▪ Nanomolar in vitro cellular potency in KRAS mutated cancer cell lines
▪ Active across a spectrum of KRAS mutant cancers
▪ Excellent pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability
▪ Well tolerated in vivo with no observed AEs at MTD
▪ KRAS status can be used as patient stratification marker
▪ Other potential indications, including DLBCL
▪ Novel Mechanism of Action:
▪ Inhibits restriction point of cell cycle leading to arrest in G0/G1
▪ Concomitant potent effects on cancer cell metabolism
▪ MoA is specific to cancer cells:
▪ No activity in normal human cells.
▪ No relationship to alternate targeted MoAs
▪ No biochemical activity on known targets observed to date
▪ e.g. CDKs, Kinases, HDACs, BDRs
