Unprecedented hope for cancer patients:

but only small subset of patients currently benefit

Immunotherapies & precision medicines provide most powerful arsenal

ever available in fight against cancer

Considerable and unmet residual needs remains

Game changing scientific discoveries have driven unprecedented

translational investments

oncology patients in whom such therapies work

Immunosuppresive myeloid cell lineage in tumor microenvironment

provide novel and complementary path to address unmet patient needs

Our first in class EP4 receptor antagonist – E7046 – currently in clinical

development provides a unique opportunity to test this hypothesis

Presentation at AACR 2016 Shows Human Biology Evidence

on Eribulin New MOAs

• 52 patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer treated with eribulin

• Before/after biopsies from 10 patients • Correlated response rate (RR) with immunohistochemical evaluation:

o TILS: PD-1, CD8, FOXP3 o Cancer cells: PD-L1, PD-L2 o EMT markers: E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, CA9

Conclusions • Statistically significant correlations

between clinical RR and change in marker status for PD-L1 (p = 0.024) FOXP3 (p = 0.004) E-cadherin (p = 0.004) CA9 (p = 0.024)

• Immune suppression markers (PD-L1, FOXP3) going negative correlated with Clinical RR Reversal of EMT (E-cadherin going

up)

• Loss of hypoxia (CA9 going down) correlated with clinical RR

TAM secretes TGF-b, which activates immune suppressive Treg and inhibits cytotoxic T cells.

Cancer Stemness Platform in TRL (1)

AXL inhibitor Targeting Mesenchymal Cancer Cells &

Tumor Vessel Formation

AXL is a key regulator for mesenchymal cancer (stem-like) cells & tumor vessel formation.

Activation of AXL and concomitant epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were reported in EGFR-mutant NSCLC with acquired resistance to erlotinib. Nat Genet., 44, 852 (2012) AXL was identified as a mesenchymal marker gene associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance in melanoma patients. Cell, 165, 35 (2016) A clinical sample of triple negative breast cancer after weekly paclitaxel treatment showed upregulation of AXL expression.

AXL/Gas6 signaling was shown to accelerate the formation of pericyte covered tumor vessels resistant to anti-VEGF therapies. Cancer Res., 65, 9294 (2005)

ALDH (Aldehyde Dehydrogenase) Inhibitor Targeting Cancer Stemness

ALDH consists of 19 isoforms • ALDH1A1, ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3, ALDH1B1, ALDH1L1, ALDH1L2

• ALDH2

• ALDH3A1, ALDH3A2, ALDH3B1, ALDH3B2

• ALDH4A1, ALDH5A1, ALDH6A1, ALDH7A1, ALDH8A1,

ALDH9A1, ALDH16A1, ALDH18A1

1. High ALDH expression in variety of cancers 2. Upregulation of ALDH expression after chemotherapy 3. Positive correlation between ALDH expression and tumor grade relevant to poor prognosis

• Kaplan–Meier curves among ALDH1(-) and ALDH1(+) patients with all breast cancer subtypes showed a statistically significant correlation between ALDH(+) status and shorter disease-free survival (DFS)/overall survival (OS): Breast Cancer Res Treat., 156, 261 (2016).

4. ALDH knock-down led to suppression of cancer stem-like properties in vitro and tumor growth in vivo.

FDA Approval

On May 13, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved lenvatinib capsules (18 mg) in combination with everolimus (5 mg) for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) who were previously treated with an anti-angiogenic therapy, which is a standard of care for this disease.

This was a Priority Review following Breakthrough Therapy Designation

The first and only FDA-approved combination of a multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (lenvatinib) and an mTOR inhibitor (everolimus) for the treatment of advanced RCC

Summary

Lenvatinib has obtained a second line RCC indication in combination with everolimus in the U.S.

We will initiate a phase 3 study in first line RCC in September studying lenvatinib in combination with everolimus and in combination with pembrolizumab

We expect the results of the phase 3 study of lenvatinib in HCC by the end of 2016

Combination studies with pembrolizumab are ongoing with both lenvatinib and eribulin across 8 different tumors

Global, randomized, open-label, Ph 3 study for RCC 1st line is planned to start in September 2016 in combination with pembrolizumab or everolimus.

Global submission for HCC 1st line is planned within FY16. Combination therapy with pembrolizumab: Ph 1b/2 study is ongoing for Lung,

melanoma, head and neck, bladder, renal and endometrial cancer.

Multi-center Ph 1study is ongoing to determine recommended Ph 2 dose. Open-label multi-center Ph 1b/2 study is planned to start in the 2nd half of FY16, a

combination study with pre-operative radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer.

IND approved April 2016, FPFV for Ph 1 study in July 2016 Phase I in advanced, unresectable HCC (with and without cirrhosis) and IHCC (Intra

Hepatic Cholangiocarcinoma)

Clinical proof of concept is planned in patients with high FGF19 expression

IND approved April 2016, FPFV for Ph 1 study in July 2016 Ph1 in advanced myeloid malignancies, with multiple expansion arms to probe

activity in selected patients with MDS, CMML and AML. Potential Ph2 registrational trials in splice factor mutant-positive patients with MDS.
