- Phase 1/1b with DPX-Survivac + Metronomic Oral Cyclophosphamide completed in 56 patients

- We are in our industry’s ”race of all time,” to increase the number of patients responding to immuno-

therapy beyond the current 20 percent industry average

- Triple combination with checkpoints inhibitors from Incyte and Merck (IDO1, PD-1 inhibitors)

- Three Phase 2 clinical trials and one Phase 1b ongoing in ovarian cancer and DLBCL

- Potential expansion in multiple other indications: breast, melanoma, lung, colorectal…

Combination Immunotherapy Opportunity

• T cell infiltration has emerged as the key component of immunotherapy efficacy

• Combination immunotherapy: a road map, JITC 2017 5:16

- Patrick A. Ott, F. Stephen Hodi, Howard L. Kaufman, Jon M. Wigginton and Jedd D. Wolchok

- Immuno-oncology making significant impact on cancer but not sufficiently active for many patients

- Anti-PD-1 pathway backbone in many combination strategies

- Extensive clinical benefit and tolerable side effects is so far unparalleled; there are no other compounds on the horizon that could take the place of PD-1 pathway inhibition for this purpose

- Emerging evidence that immune checkpoint blockade is effective primarily in tumors that are already recognized by the immune system, as manifest by a pre-existing CD8+ T cell infiltrate

- T cell activation vaccines and IDO1 inhibitors highlitghed

Phase 1b Combination Trial with Incyte

• Phase 1b combination (DPX-Survivac + epacadostat) in recurrent ovarian cancer

- Platinum resistant and sensitive subjects who have completed first-line treatment and have evidence of measurable disease

- Up to 40 with minimum of 16 evaluable patients, one arm, open-label, safety and efficacy study

- Company sponsored – Immunovaccine leading the trial with sites in US and Canada

- Interim results by the end of March

- Expected Completion: Q4 2017 (top-line results)

Endpoints

Primary: Safety, cell-mediated immunity, changes in immune cell infiltration from baseline tumor biopsy

to post-treatment tumor biopsies

Secondary: Response rate, time to progression, overall survival, biomarkers of immune and clinical

response

Immunovaccine Goal

Demonstrate DPX-Survivac can send CD8+ T cell to the tumor which with the help of IDO inhibitor can

be effective in reducing or eliminating the tumor

- Funded by Merck - Investigator sponsored (Princess Margaret Hospital) - sites in Canada

- Initiation: Q2 2017

© 2017 Immunovaccine Inc. All rights reserved.15

Primary: Overall response rate (ORR)

Secondary: Progression free survival (PFS) rate, overall survival (OS) rate, Number of side effects

IMV Goal

Demonstrate to Merck DPX-Survivac can send CD8+ T cells to the tumor and make it more responsive

to pembrolizumab – pembrolizumab has an efficacy (ORR) of 11% in ovarian cancer
