In the beginning… we thought multiple

indications with a market of 10B

certain cancers (TNBC and NEUROBLASTOMA),

autoimmunity, cachexia as well as live stock

So for 120 hours…

…We listened to experts from

KOLs (15 interviews) are split on whether this model is still appropriate for new

compound testing

Hypothesis of Development Path

Lead Optimization

• Med Chem

• In Vitro Efficacy

• Primary cells based efficacy and targets engagement.

• Benchmarking against known therapies in primary cells.

Animal Modeling

• Xenograft

• Orthotopic

• Genetically modified

• Standard model

Clinical

• Toxicology

• Engage clinical partners

Cost vs. potential revenueCosts

• COG will pay for IND filing and for phase-1/2 cost. Company provides testing material ($250K-$500K per kg) (Medical Director, Pediatric Cancer Foundation Developmental Therapeutics Program)

• Orphan status filing: $40K (Orphan consultant)

• Compound testing PDX mice $1,100 per mouse (Jackson Lab)

• Social media are fundamental game changers but companies must be careful in handling them. Global Director

Bio-CSL President IMPAX

Revenue

• Market potential for orphan drugs can be estimated by using cost of current care in view of clinical efficacy

• Current cost of treatment:

Families with debts in the $1M range in the US.

$250K Israel

€180K France

1 course of mAb treatment $250K-cash for non-US patients in US

• Find early on whether costs of drug development will match the potential revenues. Determine the potential

revenues by estimating the number of paying patients in the Western World and finding the prices of orphan

drugs with equivalent therapeutic efficacies. Professor of Economics, Temple University

• Multiple indications is a financial advantage. (Partner, Third Rock Ventures)

Keys to HaRo’s success are:Key Activities

• Clear achievable

clinical development

path. Bristol Meyer Squibb

– GCT, Oncology

• PoC in disease

relevant animal

model. Endo Pharma–Busi

Develop

• Trial must be

designed for an

existing and

available patient

population. Lankenau

Institute– Manager, Clinical

Trials

Key Resources

• Standard

neuroblastoma

animal model has

limitations with

respect to human

disease relevance. Jackson Laboratories –

modeling

• Medically relevant

models are essential. Endo, R&D Oncology

• Primary cell based

assay can go a long

way in generating

convincing data. NCI NIH

– cell based researcher

Value Proposition

• A functional proven

R&D team is a value

proposition. ICORP

experienced, Business

Development

• TNBC better VP for

business purpose.

Neuroblastoma

pending institutional

support and KOL

buying. Endo, R&D

Oncology.

• Value in

developing

bifunctional

compounds. Molecular
