Cancer cells extensively reconfigure normal metabolism:

re-regulated carbon flux for controlled provision of metabolic building blocks needed for growth

Increased requirement for carbon backbones

Two major re-regulated control points input virtually all carbon into cancer cell Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle:

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH); inputs pyruvate carbon Alpha-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase (KGDH); inputs glutamine-derived

carbon

Multi Targeted Approach – selectively blocks PDH and KGDH, through their tumor cell re-regulation, each by a distinct mechanism, ultimately

triggering cell death, while sensitizing to most other drugs.

MoA: CPI-613® (devimistat) Targeting is Highly Selective for Tumor Cells, Producing High Therapeutic Index & Very Low Clinical Toxicity

11

This powerful approach to target cancer metabolism is currently in development

Page 12: An Affiliate of Rafael Holdings (NYSE:RFL) Strictly …...Harnessing the Power of Cancer Metabolism to Develop Innovative Oncology Therapeutics June 2019 An Affiliate of Rafael Holdings

CPI-613® (devimistat): Key Differentiators

devimistat

Highly Selective:selectively targets altered metabolism in cancer cells

Less Toxic: minimally toxic to healthy cells (highly safe & tolerable)

Allows for extended treatment courses (reduces likelihood of relapse)

Can be used in combination with other drugs Potential to treat elderly patients Potential to treat surgically unresectable cancers

Attacks Multiple Targets

(PDH, KGDH)

Potential to treat different cancers including: Difficult-to-treat cancers High risk cancers Treatment-resistant

cancers Advanced stage cancers

etc.

Less vulnerable to emergence of drug

resistance

Broad Spectrum Activities:

altered metabolism observed in different types of cancers

Targets Metabolic Pathway

Unique target that increases responses in traditionally resistant tumor types

Expected to suppress metabolism-based resistance to companion Standard of Care(s)

Significant Synergy is Observed withFOLFIRINOX, nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) or gemcitabine

FOLFIRINOX = 25μM oxaliplatin, 30μM irinotecan,100μM 5-FU in RPMI/2mM glucose, 48 hrs.

We expect CPI-613® (devimistat) suppression of oncogene signaling to engender synergy with most Standard of Care (SoC), including radiation, RTK inhibitors, and immunotherapy

This in vitro synergy is consistent with the strong in vivo synergy observed in PDAC clinical trials

Page 24: An Affiliate of Rafael Holdings (NYSE:RFL) Strictly …...Harnessing the Power of Cancer Metabolism to Develop Innovative Oncology Therapeutics June 2019 An Affiliate of Rafael Holdings

Significant Synergy is Observed with cytarabine or doxorubicin

OCI-AML3 (monocytic AML) and MFL2 (murine AML) cell lines were exposed to cytarabine (Ara) or doxorubicin (Dox) with and without devimistat at 25 or 50 mmol/L (clinically achievable doses) and assessed viability

Cells exposed to chemotherapy and devimistat were significantly more sensitive compared with cells treated with chemotherapy alone

Pharmacologic inhibition of the TCA with CPI-613® (devimistat) increases sensitivity to cytarabine (Ara) or doxorubicin (Dox) in AML cell lines

Clinical Experience of CPI-613® (devimistat) in T-cell Lymphoma, Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) & Burkitt’s Lymphoma: A Summary

Case Report: Relapsed Burkitt’s Lymphoma

Before devimistat After 3 Cycles of devimistat

Relapsed or Refractory T-Cell Lymphoma

Phase I study of devimistat in combination with bendamustine exhibited significant signal for efficacy

Relapsed or Refractory Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Phase II Study of devimistat (Single Agent)

19-year-old female with relapsed Burkitt’s Lymphoma

Before devimistat:

The patient was suffering from second relapse after first-line therapy of CALGB 10002 and second-line therapy of hyper-CVAD and myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant

After devimistatMonotherapy: Achieved and maintained

radiographic partial response status after the third cycle and maintainedfor 17 cycles of therapy over 51 weeks

Then the patient pursued surgical resection of residual tumor

Clinical follow-up on the patient indicated no evidence of disease more than 36 months
