First in Human Study with ARQ 092, a Novel Pan AKT-Inhibitor: Results from the Advanced Solid Tumors Cohorts
AKT Signal Transduction Is a Critical Node Serving a Variety of Cellular Functions Including Survival, Proliferation and Protein Synthesis
AKT SIGNALING PATHWAY IS A THERAPEUTIC TARGET IN ONCOLOGY
• AKT signal pathway is aberrantly dysregulatedin a wide range of tumor types
• Extensive molecular evidence validates thepathway as target in cancer

Co-crystal X-Ray Structure, Biochemical and Anti-Proliferative Properties of ARQ 092ARQ 092 IS A NOVEL, ATP-INDEPENDENT, SELECTIVE PAN-AKT INHIBITOR
ARQ092 inhibits AKT in an ATP-independent manner and binds to the Pleckstrin Homology Domain, preventing ATP from being allocated

ARQ 092-101: FIRST IN HUMAN STUDY IN ADVANCED SOLID TUMORS
• ARQ 092 has a safety profile consistent with that predicted by preclinical models
• Early hyperglycemia preceding rash might be a crucial differentiating feature of ARQ 092
• Drug exposure increases in a dose-dependent fashion
• Dose-dependent AKT pathway inhibition is obtained in peripheral blood
• MTD on a continuous daily schedule has not been formally declared
• Preliminary signals of single agent activity in patients with advanced solid tumors have beendocumented:- 4 heavily pretreated subjects experienced long-term (≥ 6 months) stable disease
• PK and clinical data support intermittent dosing schedules, currently planned in advancedsolid tumors and recurrent lymphoma
• Clinically valuable combinations with targeted agents in preclinical settings are warranted
