3 Company highlights and introduction to ATIR 1 Lead product ATIR is an innovative immunotherapy which addresses the risks and limitations of current bone marrow and stem cell treatments (HSCT) 2 Strong clinical Phase I and Phase II data package No patient (0/42) experienced grade III/IV GVHD Significantly improved Overall Survival Excellent safety and efficacy profile demonstrated to date 3 Clear upcoming route to market and strong news flow catalysts Initiation of Phase III trial in 2H 2016 (ATIR101) Expected submission to EMA for conditional approval (ATIR101) Initiation of clinical trial in Thalassemia (ATIR201) 4 Experienced management team and international, diverse shareholder base 3

4 HSCT as curative treatment for blood cancer and inherited blood disorders Basic principle of HSCT 1. Destroy the diseased bone marrow 2. Create bone marrow space in the recipient for the donor cells to engraft 3. Replace it with healthy donor cells 4. Suppress the immune system or eliminate the recipient T-cells to minimize risks of rejection 4

5 Significant risks & limitations in HSCT Causes of death after MUD HSCT 1% 6% Risks Opportunistic infections Immunosuppressed patients are highly susceptible to pathogens 19% 17% 20% 37% Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) GVHD occurs when donor T-cells recognize a patient s tissue as foreign. Incidence of grade III/IV GVHD is as high as 30% and often fatal Relapse GvHD Infections Other Organ Failure New Malignancy 20% CIBMTR-data includes centers located globally and is measured over Limitations Cancer relapse Ablated immune system has poor ability to fight residual leukemic cells Donor availability Approx. 75% of patients do not have a matched family donor and approx. 35% of patients eligible for HSCT will not find a matched donor in time 5

6 Haplo-HSCT with ATIR101: addressing risks and limitations of HSCT within standard hospital procedures ATIR101 allows for an immunosuppressant-free transplant regimen for haploidentical donor transplantation (i.e. from a family member) Adjunctive to (partially) T-cell depleted stem cell graft donor Donor CD34+ PBMC graft Selective photodepletion to eliminate GVHD-causing T-cells Conditioning Haplo HSCT Isolation ATIR101 infusion Myeloablative conditioning including ATG T-cell depleted stem cell graft from family member No prophylactic immunosuppression Donor lymphocyte infusion days post- HSCT 6

7 ATIR101 manufacturing removes GVHD-causing T-cells while retaining key immune cells 1. Immune cells collected and mixed ex vivo 2. Activation of donor T- cells 3. TH9402 addition 4. Exposure to light 5. ATIR101 infusion ATIR101 characteristics Selective removal of GVHD-causing T-cells Patient Key immune cells are retained to protect against infections T-cells directed against leukemic cells are Donor GVHD-causing donor T- cells are activated by patient cells TH9402 is added TH9402 is retained only in activated donor T-cells Light induced killing Cells formulated for infusion Infusion days after haplo HSCT retained Day 1-4 Day 5 Non-activated GVHDcausing donor T-cells Irradiated patient cells Activated GVHD-causing donor T-cells Graft-versus-Leukemia T-cells Activated GVHD-causing donor T-cells with TH9402 retained Other immune cells (e.g. virus specific memory and effector cells, naïve cells, NK cells) 7

10 Graft-versus-Leukemia T-cells have been detected in ATIR101 Figure 2: ATIR101 cells were thawed, recovered for two days in medium supplemented withil-2, IL-7 and IL-15 followed by stimulation with Myb628/HLA-B44 aapcs. Myb628 specific T cell expansion was assessed after one (upper panel) or two (lower panel) rounds of stimulation with a Myb628/HLA-B44 multimer. As control, cells were stained with an irrelevant HLA-B44 multimer. Collaboration with Prof. Angela Krackhardt, Medizinische Klinik III, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, TU Munich, Munich, Germany 10

20 Conclusions Phase II (CR-AIR-007) ATIR101 significantly reduces TRM and improves OS ATIR101 is safe and does not cause grade III/IV GVHD Relapse rates on ATIR101 protocol are very low Improved clinical benefit over 9/10 MMUD or umbilical cord transplants on event-free survival (GRFS) ATIR101 provides a safe and effective, immunosuppressant-free regimen for haploidentical transplantation Substantially less relapse and GVHD on ATIR101 compared to posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) Second dose of ATIR101 might improve survival even further Kiadis is preparing a randomized Phase III trial comparing haploidentical HSCT with PTCy against a T-depleted HSCT + ATIR101 20
