7 Vicineum has a Highly Differentiated Dual Mechanism of Action (MoA) An Important Advancement in the Category of Precision Oncology • Fusion protein consisting of an antibody fragment and a cytotoxic payload • Small size facilitates tumor penetration and greater drug delivery • Selectively targets cancer cells while generally sparing healthy cells • Inhibits protein synthesis and kills both rapidly proliferating and slow-growing cancer cells • Effective against multi-drug resistant cancer cells Based on preclinical studies, we believe Vicineum works via a dual mechanism of action. Dual MoA Immunogenic cell death activates a T cell-mediated immune response to attack the tumor Selectively targets EpCAM to destroy cancer cells by immunogenic cell death 1 2


 
8 Vicineum has a Highly Differentiated Clinical Profile *As referenced in FDA NMIBC Guidance for Industry, February 2018. Source: Phase III data as of the May 29, 2019 data cut. For additional information regarding Phase III clinical trial data please refer to slides 33-54. Efficacy Data Safety Data 3-month response data • CIS: 40% complete response rate (CRR) • Papillary: 71% recurrence-free rate Durability of response • CIS: 52% duration of 9 months (12 months of therapy) • Papillary: Median time to recurrence of 402 days Positive time to cystectomy data • 76% of patients are cystectomy-free for 3 years • Meaningful data for patients and payers Encouraging survival data • Overall survival (OS) is 98% at 12 months • 2-year OS is 96% vs. 94% for the general population at 2 years (matched for age/gender) Intravesical administration • Bladder wall serves protective function • Preference of FDA* and most Urologists Clinical experience • 243 patients exposed to Vicineum for periods up to 782 days across all clinical trials • Average patient received 15 instillations of BCG Differentiated safety profile • 95% of all AEs were Grade 1 or 2 • Only 4% of patients experienced a treatment- related Grade 3-5 AE Favorable tolerability • Low discontinuation rate due to AEs (3%) • No age-related increase in AEs

37 Complete and Partial Response: In our Phase II clinical trial, 83% of patients had a complete or partial response Start of Treatment with Vicineum 3-Month Response 40% of patients had a complete response 43% of patients had a partial response 17% of patients had no response *Note: Data are from Phase II clinical trial, n=45 (40% of patient had a complete response at 3 months; 60% of patients did not have a complete response and, of those, 71% of patients had a partial response). Partial response, as measured by bladder mapping, is defined by non-complete response patients who had either a reduction in tumor size or did not experience an increase in bladder area affected. Bladder mapping was not done as part of the Phase III trial, therefore partial response data are not available.

Data reflected consist of patients from all cohorts 1, 2 & 3 (n=133). Note: Average time to cystectomy from transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for NMIBC patients with high-risk papillary disease in Europe is ~105 days (National Institute of Health, Timing of radical cystectomy in Central Europe - multicenter study on factors influencing the time from diagnosis to radical treatment of bladder cancer patients, Poletajew S, et al., 2015.) Additional FDA guidance states that although delay in radical cystectomy is considered a direct patient benefit, the variations in patient and health care provider preferences can confound the interpretation of this endpoint in randomized trials and particularly in single-arm trials. Nevertheless, sponsors should collect these data, which may provide supportive evidence of effectiveness.

54 Pipeline of Targeted Therapies We believe there is strong scientific rationale for Vicineum in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. Vicineum in combination with AstraZeneca’s anti-PD-L1, Imfinzi (durvalumab), is being evaluated in a Phase 1 trial run by the National Cancer Institute. We have deferred further development of Vicineum, for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), and VB6-845d in order to focus our efforts and resources on our ongoing development of Vicineum for the treatment of high-risk NMIBC. We are also exploring collaborations for Vicineum, for the treatment of SCCHN, and VB6-845d.
