Lung Biopsies are Risky and Expensive

• Lung biopsies are much riskier than other cancer biopsieso Up to 1% result in deatho Up to 24% result in serious complications

• Mean U.S. cost is about $15,000 per biopsy

• For an average patient, a lung biopsy has a higher likelihood of leading to a serious complication than of confirming lung cancer, impacting interest in screening

DetermaVuTM is designed to directly address this challenge by reducing unnecessary biopsies

Successful R&D Validation Study

• Demonstrates best-in-class performance • Blinded results from 250 sample* prospective

cohort demonstrate excellent performanceo Sensitivity: ~90% (95%CI 82%-95%)

o Specificity: ~75% (95%CI 68%-81%)

• Significantly outperforms reported results from clinical models and all competitors’ tests**

• No clinical data (e.g. nodule size) utilized; results from biomarkers alone

Proof-of-concept of Immune System Interrogation approach opens the door for high-value strategic opportunities

Broad Implications of Immune System Interrogation Approach

• OncoCyte’s study is the first ever to demonstrate the ability to utilize immune response to diagnose early-stage cancer*

• Proof of concept for further exploration of use across multiple cancer types

• Immune System Interrogation approach leverages the exquisite sensitivity and response of immune system to detect early stage cancers

*From R&D Validation study conducted using patients with lung nodules 5mm-30mm in size

What Sets OncoCyte Apart?

Direct Measurement

ctDNA Meth-DNA

Cancer Cells

Other Companies

Immune System

Interrogation

OncoCyte’s Approach

Insufficient sensitivity in early-stage cancers

Just not enough ‘signal’ to detect

Leverages the exquisite sensitivity of the immune

system’s response to early-stage cancer

Immune System Interrogation approach could have broad application across other solid tumors

Proprietary algorithm utilizing selected biomarkers

Why does the OncoCyte Approach Work?

Implicated in immune response to cancer

OncoCyte leverages the exquisite sensitivity of the body’s immune system’s response to early-stage cancer

- mRNA –based OncoCyte technology extracts may be from any of the cells present in whole blood for that patient

- Differential gene expression takes place in response to the presence of cancer cells
