• PanMetics is a newly formed biotechnology company developing
a powerful array of novel, targeted therapeutic leads against
cancers with high mortality rates and poor therapeutic options
such as Pancreatic Cancer.
• PanMetics has an exclusive license to develop a novel scaffold,
PanM-429, as a drug lead and as a vehicle for delivery of
therapeutic payloads.
Strategic Goals

Company Overview
•Cancers such as Pancreatic are unmet medical needs with poor survival rates.
•IGF-1R is a validated target for Pancreatic and other cancers.
•PanM-429 is Mini-protein which acts as an IGF-1R antagonist and inhibits the growth of established human pancreatic cancer tumors in animal models.
•PanM-429 is also a “core scaffold” used to generate other therapeutic drug leads including Bi-specifics, which inhibit multiple targets, and as a delivery vehicle for payloads such as small molecule drugs, siRNA and other biological therapeutics (Cell Penetrating Peptides [CPPs]).
•With a $10M tranched investment, PanMetics will complete Phase 1 clinical trials for at least 2 drug leads over a 3 year timeframe.

Cost Basis & Rationale
•PanMetics is looking for an initial investment $10M for 3 years to complete the following:
• Complete a Phase 1 trial for PamM-429 alone or in combination with approved drugs• Generate and characterized PanM-429 derivatives (Bi-specifics and CPPs)• Identify 1-2 PanM-429 derivatives for clinical development• Complete 2nd Phase I trial for a PanM-429 derivative with an approved drug
•The investment can be paid in tranches and additional funding be based on •Go/No Go decisions
•PanMetics believes that the drug leads generated from these studies are valuable commodities and will generate strong interest from pharmaceutical companies who are constantly looking for novel drug leads and ways to deliver their own products in a highly specific manner.

Exit Strategy
•PanMetics believes that its focused drug development strategy will be amply rewarded through investment from both the financial community and pharmaceutical licensing deals.
•Expected exit strategies include:
• Buyout by a large pharma or biotech company• M&A with a biotech with synergistic technologies (e.g., siRNA delivery)• IPO/Reverse Merger under the appropriate conditions

• The Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling axis is a focus for developing targeted drugs for treatment of indications including cancer.
• Preclinical research and clinical investigations have implicated the IGF type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) and its ligands IGF-I and IGF-II in the development and progression of a number of human cancers including pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal, prostate and hematopoietic tumors.
• Targeting the IGF-1R receptor represents an important new approach in cancer therapy. PanMetics intends to use its PanM-429 core scaffold to generate drug leads which will inhibit the IGF-1R cancer axis.
The Target: IGF-1R

PanM-429 is a Novel IGF-1R Antagonist
• PanM-429 is a member of a class of novel, highly specific bioactive Mini-Proteins called Peptimetics which act as agonists or antagonists and can be generated for any disease indication.
• PanM-429 is an IGF-1R antagonist with high affinity and selectivity
• Because of its high specificity and biological activity, PanM-429 can be used as a therapeutic in its own right as well as in combination with approved drugs for Pancreatic and other cancers.
• In addition to its value as a drug lead, PanM-429 can also be used to generate novel derivatives such as Bi-specifics and CPPs to deliver payloads such as small molecule and biological drugs.
ANTYRAThe Next Generation of
BiologicalsNon-Confidential 9
PanMetics’ R&D Goals
•Fully characterize PanM-429 as a therapeutic lead in animal models alone and in combination with approved drugs such as gemcitabine (Gemzar) and Tacerva
•Generate novel derivatives of PanM-429 including Bi-specific and CPPs.
• Bi-specifics which inhibit multiple targets such as IGF-1R/EGFR & IGF-1R/FGFR1
• Cell Penetrating Peptides to deliver a vast array of therapeutics including small molecules and biologicals such as, but not limited to, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotides
•Characterize these entities in vitro and in the appropriate animal models
•Identify 2 drug leads for clinical development (manufacturing, PK/ADMET)
•Complete two Phase 1 clinical trials by the end of Year 3 for these 2 drug leads

PanM-429 as Bi-specific Cell Penetrating Peptide
‣PanM-429 internalizes into various cell types including Pancreatic
Cancer
‣PanM-429 can be used to deliver therapeutic payloads such as
siRNA, antisense, biologicals and small molecules.
‣PanM-429 conjugated to a payload can be considered “Bi-specific”
because both the Peptimetic and the payload have biological
activity.

PanMetics Has the Therapeutic Edge
•PanMedics believes that PanM-429 and its derivatives will be effective alone and in combination with any approved drugs to increase the therapeutic index for IGF-1R expressing cancers such as Pancreatic.
•PanM-429 is cheaper to produce than monoclonal antibodies and vaccines (=decreased COGs).
•PanM-429 Bi-specifics will inhibit multiple targets thereby increasing selectivity, potency and therapeutic index.
•PanM-429 conjugated to small molecules and biologicals will be able to target internal targets inaccessible to monoclonal antibodies

PanMetics: 5 Year Plan•Primary Opportunities: Years 1-3
• Move 2 drug leads through Phase I Clinical Trials
•Secondary Opportunities: Years 1-3• Continued pre-clinical development of additional PanM-429 derivatives for
partnering/licensing and downstream INDs
•Round B financing = $7.5M: Years 4-5• Move additional drug leads into Phase I Clinical Trials (from PanM-429 derivative
pool)• Identify new targets for Pancreatic Cancer and generate novel Peptimetic
antagonists for pre-clinical development• Develop antagonists for additional high mortality/untreatable cancers
Phase II Clinical study(s): With additional financing for Years 4-5 ($15-20M) PanMetics would be able to move one of its drug leads into a Phase II trial. It is anticipated that this would be done in partnership with a large pharmaceutical/biotech company
