1 Expansion and Activation of T-cells via the Targeting of the Immunosuppressive Ligand Phosphatidylserine: Combination Strategy with Other Checkpoint Inhibitors Jeff T. Hutchins, PhD Vice President, Pre-Clinical Research Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. March 25, 2015 Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: Validate Novel Pathways, Discover Predictive Biomarkers, Optimize Clinical Strategy

2 Combination Therapy is the Future More Patients Responding to Therapy Combination Treatment * * Hypothetical for illustrative purposes only 1. Why do only a sub-set of patients respond to IO Therapy? Role of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment Lack of T-cell activation and myeloid cell differentiation Checkpoint Blockade Yervoy and Opdivo are registered trademarks of Bristol Meyers Squibb. Keytruda is a registered trademark of Merck. Targeted Therapy Conventional Therapy 2. How can this patient pool be expanded? Ways a PS blockade changes this environment Consequences of PS targeting -- activation and expansion of T-cells

30 Key Observations - Summary Phosphatidylserine (PS) is externalized in the tumor microenvironment and is a major immunosuppressive signal PS is a global immune checkpoint Antibody-mediated blockade of PS signaling breaks immune tolerance reactivating innate and adaptive immunity and results in durable anti-tumor responses in multiple pre-clinical models Combination pre-clinical studies in immuno-competent models with PD-1 and CTLA-4: increase CD8 T cells and M1 macrophages decrease MDSCs and M2 macrophages demonstrate statistically significant anti-tumor responses
