Forward Looking Statement This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, the outcome of which could materially and/or adversely affect actual future results and the trading price of CTI BioPharma's securities. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding CTI BioPharma’s expectations with respect to the development of CTI BioPharma and its product and product candidate portfolio, expectations with respect to the timing and planned enrollment of PAC203 and our ability to be able to interpret clinical trial data and results and expectations with respect to the potential therapeutic utility of pacritinib, including pacritinib's potential to achieve treatment goals across patients with myelofibrosis, regardless of baseline characteristics, such as starting platelet count and in particular, its potential to reduce spleen volume and symptom burden and improve HRQoL, the development and achievement of a registrational strategy and development program for tosedostat, expected outcome of the PIX306 post-marketing commitment study, the initiation of additional investigation-sponsored PIXUVRI combination studies, and its ability to increase the addressable market and potential to provide basis for U.S. NDA, liquidity, revenue and expense projections, the anticipated achievement of partner-related milestones and product and geographic sales, initiation of investigator- sponsored trials, the ability to obtain additional partnerships, and the execution of CTI BioPharma’s strategy to commercialize globally. Risks that contribute to the uncertain nature of the forward-looking statements include, among others, risks associated with the biopharmaceutical industry in general and with CTI BioPharma and its product and product candidate portfolio in particular including, among others, risks associated with the following: that CTI BioPharma cannot predict or guarantee the pace or geography of enrollment of its clinical trials, that CTI BioPharma cannot predict or guarantee the outcome of preclinical and clinical studies, that CTI BioPharma may not obtain favorable determinations by other regulatory, patent and administrative governmental authorities, that CTI BioPharma may experience delays in the commencement of preclinical and clinical studies, risks related to the costs of developing pacritinib and CTI BioPharma’s other product candidates, and other risks, including, without limitation, competitive factors, technological developments, that CTI BioPharma may not be able to sustain its current cost controls, further reduce its operating expenses or achieve its anticipated liquidity, revenue and expense projections, that CTI BioPharma may not achieve previously announced goals and objectives as or when projected, that CTI BioPharma’s average net operating burn rate may increase, that CTI BioPharma will continue to need to raise capital to fund its operating expenses, but may not be able to raise sufficient amounts to fund its continued operation, as well as other risks listed or described from time to time in CTI's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Except as required by law, CTI does not intend to update any of the statements in this presentation upon further developments. 2

Pacritinib • Orphan designation for myelofibrosis (FDA and EMA) • Patent protection through 2026/29 plus possible patent term extension An oral kinase inhibitor with selectivity for JAK2 and FLT3 4 1. Singer J, et al. ASH, 2014, Abstract 1874. CSF1R, colony stimulating factor 1 receptor; FLT, FMS-like tyrosine kinase; IC50, half-maximal inhibitory concentration; IRAK, interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase; ITD, internal tandem duplication; JAK, Janus kinase; TYK, tyrosine kinase. Kinase1 IC50 (nM) JAK1 1280 JAK2wt 6.0 JAK2V617F 9.4 JAK3 18.3 TYK2 27.0 FLT3-ITD 13.4 FLT3D835Y 4.7 CSF1R 39.5 IRAK1 13.6


 
Myelofibrosis: A Chronic Disease • Malignant bone marrow disorder • Activation of JAK2 pathway triggers an inflammatory response, bone marrow scarring • Poor QOL: enlargement of the spleen, anemia, thrombocytopenia, extreme fatigue, pain, severe itching, drenching night sweats and GI side effects • Median survival after diagnosis is 7-9 years • Incidence: ~1 per 100K; Prevalence: ~6-10 per 100K (~18K US, ~24K in Western EU) • Only approved therapy: ruxolitinib (JAK1/JAK2) 5


 
Thrombocytopenia and MF 1. Platelet distribution for patients in Europe is similar to US. 2. Platelet distribution based on Visani et al. 1990 Br J Haematol; Caramazza et al. 2011 Leukemia; Tam et al. 2009 JCO. 3. Based on Mehta, et al. 2014 Leukemia & Lymphoma. “When you combine disease-related and treatment-emergent thrombocytopenia, the percentage of MF patients with platelet counts <100k exceeds 50%.” -Dr. Reuben Mesa, Mayo Clinic, ASCO 2015 6 <50K 50K – 100K 100K – 150K >150K 10% 11% 16% 63% US MF Patients by Platelet Count1,2 (n=18,0003) ~26% of Rx-naïve patients have platelets <100K/µL


 
Pacritinib Targets Major Unmet Needs 7 • Despite baseline platelets ≤100K/µL excluded in COMFORT trials1, dose reductions (52%) at ≤12 weeks of therapy due to anemia and/or thrombocytopenia2 • Most patients (85%) who discontinue frontline rux received no further Rx, 7 month median OS3 1. Verstovsek, et al. 2013 NEJM. 2. Verstovsek, et al. 2013 Haematologica. 3. Mehra, et al , ASH 2016 poster, Abstract 4769 Ruxolitinib Intolerance MF Patients with Low Platelets Ruxolitinib Failures • Ruxolitinib not indicated for patients with platelets < 50 K/µL

Eligibility Criteria No exclusion for platelet levels, stratified for platelet counts of 100,000/µL and 50,000/µL No prior treatment with JAK2 inhibitors 2:1 Randomization* n = 327 Primary Endpoint % of patients achieving ≥35% reduction in spleen size from baseline to Week 24 Best Available Therapy (BAT) excl. ruxolitinib Pacritinib (400 mg QD) PERSIST-1 Phase 3 8


 
PERSIST-1 Phase 3 Results: Highlights Primary Endpoint: • Significantly more patients achieved ≥35% spleen volume reduction (SVR), regardless of baseline platelet count (p=0.0003, ITT population) Low Platelet Subset: • Significant SVR also observed in highest-risk predefined subset (baseline platelets <50,000/μL (p=0.045, ITT population) TSS Reduction: • Significantly more patients achieved >50% reduction in TSS (p<0.0001,ITT population) Improved Platelet Counts • Patients with baseline platelets <50,000/μL had significant increase in platelet counts of 35% by Week 24 (p=0.003) Mesa RA, et al., ASCO 2015. Abstract LBA7006. 9


 
Overall Survival by Treatment 10 • OS was not significantly different between arms, and potentially confounded by a large percentage (84%) of pts crossing over at 24 weeks Mesa RA, et al., ASCO 2016. Abstract LBA7065.
