SHRINK - Combo with chemotherapy

CYAD-01: A unique construct arming T-cells with a NK receptor to target and destroy cancer cells

• One natural construct that capitalizes on the

two main pillars of the immune system:

NK cells and T-cells

• A natural co-stimulating domain: DAP 10

• Same signaling domain as other CAR-T: CD3ζ

5

A single NK cell receptor binding 8 different ligands

6

NKG2D ligands are expressed by stressed cells during infection, tumorigenesis or DNA damage

NKG2D binding ligands:

MICAMICBULBPs 1-6

NKG2D can bind to any of eight naturally occurring ligands known to be overexpressed in more than 80% of solid and hematological tumors

NKG2D expresses ligands in broad range of cancer indications

7

Expression of at least one of NKG2D ligands:

• Triple negative breast cancers : 88%

• Colorectal cancers : 88%

• Ovarian cancers: 68%

• Bladder cancers: 78% of the primary tumors and 100% of the metastases

• Pancreatic cancers: 86%

• NSCLC Lung cancers: 92% (100% non-squamous NSCLC)

Multiple MOA for increased effectiveness

Persistence of CAR-T leading to the need to have control mechanisms

Managing kinetics through

classical multiple infusion approach

Primary modes of action through direct cytotoxicity

Multiple modes of action for increased effectiveness

Rapid clinical response but some relapse including Antigen Loss Variants

Induced adaptative immunity driving a progressive clinical

response

CYAD-01 Modes of action identified from syngeneic mouse models

• Eradication of established tumors by multiple infusions of CYAD-01 with no pre-conditioning chemotherapy

• Short term persistence (7-10 days)

• Direct target cell killing

• Modulation of the local tumor microenvironment

• Reduced number of Tregs within tumor

• Alteration of myeloid compartment; reduced IL-6/IL-10

• Anti-angiogeneic effect driven through targeting of tumorendothelial cells expressing NKG2D ligands

• Identification of CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell responses induced by CYAD-01 therapy that drive prolonged anti-tumor immunity

CYAD-01: THINK trial (solid arm) promising early results at first dose level

Promising early results at first dose level (3x108)

• Two metastatic colorectal cancer patients reported as Stable Disease at 3-months follow-up*

• Refractory pancreatic patient was in progression at the same time point• No toxicity signals reported up to now

Higher doses, longer follow-up + SHRINK and LINK

* According to recent studies conducted on similar patient populations, median progression free survival in these patients understandard of care is between 1.9 and 3.2 months.
