Forward Looking Statements 2 This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words and expressions reflecting optimism, satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects, as well as words such as "believes," "hopes," "intends," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "plans," "anticipates" and variations thereof, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include statements about leronlimab, its ability to provide positive health outcomes, the Company's ability to develop a successful operating strategy and thereby create shareholder value, the possible results of clinical trials, studies or other programs or ability to continue those programs, the ability to obtain regulatory approval for commercial sales, and the market for actual commercial sales. The Company's forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance, and actual results could vary materially from those contained in or expressed by such statements due to risks and uncertainties including: (i) the regulatory determinations of leronlimab’s safety and effectiveness to treat the diseases and conditions for which we are studying the product by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and various drug regulatory agencies in other countries; (ii) the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations; (iii) the Company’s ability to meet its debt and other payment obligations; (iv) the Company’s ability to retain other key employees; (v) the Company’s ability to enter into partnership or licensing arrangements with third-parties; (vi) the timely and sufficient development, through internal resources or third-party consultants, of analyses of the data generated from the Company’s clinical trials required by the FDA or other regulatory agencies in connection with applications for approval of the Company’s drug product; (vii) the Company’s ability to achieve approval of a marketable product; (viii) the design, implementation and conduct of the Company’s clinical trials; (ix) the results of the Company’s clinical trials, including the possibility of unfavorable clinical trial results; (x) the market for, and marketability of, any product that is approved; (xi) the existence or development of vaccines, drugs, or other treatments that are viewed by medical professionals or patients as superior to the Company’s products; (xii) regulatory initiatives, compliance with governmental regulations and the regulatory approval process; (xiii) legal proceedings, investigations or inquiries affecting the Company or its products; (xiv) general economic and business conditions; (xv) changes in foreign, political, and social conditions; (xvi) stockholder actions or proposals with regard to the Company, its management, or its board of directors; and (xvii) various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

NAFLD & NASH – Disease Background 25 The diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) requires evidence of hepatic steatosis and the lack of secondary causes of liver fat accumulation such as substantial alcohol consumption, long-term use of a steatogenic medicine, or monogenic hereditary disorders. NASH is a more advanced form of NAFLD where there is liver inflammation with hepatocyte injury, which can lead to hepatic fibrosis. Although the presence of fibrosis is not required for a diagnosis of NASH, fibrosis is present in over 80% of NASH patients. For this reason, NASH patients are often further segmented by their fibrosis stage. Detection of fibrosis is important as it is linked to worse outcomes for patients. NASH can lead to serious clinical burden due to the high liver-related and non-liver-related mortality rates associated with the disease. Moreover, advanced NASH patients are at increased risk of developing cirrhosis, which is linked to liver decompensation, end-stage liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

HIV-NASH – Disease Background 27 The burden of liver-related morbidity remains high among HIV-infected patients, despite advances in the treatment of HIV and viral hepatitis. The impact of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is significant with a prevalence of up to 50%. Both HIV infection itself and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can contribute to the development of NAFLD/NASH in various ways: As ongoing HIV-related immune activation is associated with insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and dyslipidemia, early initiation of cART is needed to limit its duration. However, the use of early-generation nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors is also associated with the development of NAFLD/NASH. Patients with HIV are typically excluded from NASH clinical trials, creating an unmet clinical need that is not currently being addressed

Metastatic CRC – Background and Treatment 28 CRC typically develops through the proliferation of mucosal epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) wall, eventually forming a polyp or adenoma. As with many other cancers of the GI tract, the vast majority (>95%) are adenocarcinomas. CRC stands as the second deadliest and third most diagnosed form of cancer worldwide The most commonly prescribed targeted therapies in front-line mCRC are angiogenesis inhibitors, particularly bevacizumab, which is available for most tumor types and alongside most chemotherapy combinations. Other drugs, such as Erbitux and Braftovi, are limited by gene expression, whereas PD-1 inhibitors Keytruda, Opdivo, and most recently Jemperli may be used in MSI-H tumors (~10-15% of mCRC). However, these PD-1 inhibitors have failed to show success in micro satellite stable (MSS) tumors to date


Graphic

Breast Cancer HR+/HER2- – Disease Background 29 Hormone receptor-positive (HR+) is the most common breast cancer subtype, with approximately 70% of breast cancers presenting with overexpression of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or both. Overexpression of the hormone receptors allows estrogen and progesterone to drive tumor growth and proliferation. Therefore, endocrine therapy remains the standard treatment for advanced patients with HR+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common cancer in terms of new cases and the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related death regardless of gender. In the US, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the fourth-leading cause of cancer-related death regardless of gender, behind lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Background - Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the presence of hepatic inflammation and cell injury due to hepatic fat accumulation (steatosis) in ≥5% of hepatocytes Patients with advanced fibrosis due to NASH are at significantly higher risk of liverrelated mortality Despite its very high burden, there are currently no approved pharmacological therapies for NASH Recent studies targeting chemokine-mediated inflammatory signaling pathways that may reduce liver fat and scar tissue formation indicate the great potential of immune modulation as a therapeutic strategy in NASH(1) 31 Lefere S, Puengel T, Hundertmark J, Penners C, Frank AK, Guillot A, de Muynck K, Heymann F, Adarbes V, Defrêne E, Estivalet C, Geerts A, Devisscher L, Wettstein G, Tacke F.

NAFLD & NASH – Molecular Pathways to Fibrosis CCR2 and CCR5 as targets in NASH and liver fibrosis The accumulation of hepatic fat causes cellular stress and the release of chemokines, notably CCL2 (= MCP-1), from hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, endothelial and stellate cells. This promotes the infiltration of circulating CCR2+ monocytes, which differentiate into monocyte-derived macrophages. These cells contribute to the progression of NASH by maintaining an inflammatory environment and by activating hepatic stellate cells, promoting collagen deposition. These CCR2+ Ly6Chigh macrophages can mature into Ly6Clow restorative macrophages which boost resolution of inflammation. CCR5 is expressed by stellate cells and is involved in their profibrogenic activation and proliferation. This concept is based on experimental mouse models of steatohepatitis and fibrosis. Kupffer cells CCL2 Circulating monocytes CCR2’LY6C high Fat laden hepatocytes TGF- Galectin-3 TNF- IL-1 Stellate cells CCR2inhibitors Monocyte-derived macrophages CCR2+Ly6Chigh CCR5inhibitors Activated myofibroblast Apoptosis Maturation Phagocytosis Collagen Collagen degradation Ly6Clow Restorative macrophages Source: Lefere et al., Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs (2020) 33


New Microsoft Word Document_slide034.gif

The CCR5 Receptor as a therapeutic target in NASH 34 CCR5 is G Protein coupled receptor. Acts as a receptor for chemokines. Cognate ligands include CCL3, CCL4, and CCL5 (Rantes) Macrophage-mediated inflammation and hepatic stellate cell activation are key drivers of progression at multiple stages of the disease. CCR5 is present on both.


New Microsoft Word Document_slide035.gif

CCR5 and the Inflammatory Response In NASH, liver homeostasis is impaired due to an accumulation of toxic lipids which can activate both Kupffer cells (KCs) and tissue-resident macrophages resulting in the production of fibrogenic cytokines and chemoattractant chemokines such as transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-B) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) Not only do these cytokines/chemokines promote transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) into myofibroblasts (the primary source for fibrillary collagens), but they also amplify the immune response by recruiting additional cells into the damaged area Recruitment of extra-hepatic inflammatory cells to the site of hepatic injury is typically mediated by interactions between cytokines/chemokines and their receptors It has also been shown that patients with NASH also have high levels of C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and the associated ligand, CCL5, thus demonstrating a potential role of CCR5 and its ligands in liver fibrosis Furthermore, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects have been reported in pre-clinical models of NASH following the use of monoclonal antibodies targeting chemokine signaling pathways CCR5 has thus become an attractive target for the clinical development of new antifibrotic therapies(2) 35 Lefebvre E, M.

CDI-NASH-01: Conclusions All analyses performed were exploratory Treatment with leronlimab was generally well tolerated in both Part 1 and Part 2 Part 1: Leronlimab 700 mg did not reduce mean change in PDFF and cT1 from baseline to week 14 vs. PBO Part 2: Leronlimab 350 mg significantly reduced mean change in PDFF and cT1 from baseline to week 14 vs. PBO Despite increased fibro-inflammation, in patients with moderate and severe cT1 values at baseline, leronlimab 350 mg still showed significantly reduced cT1 from baseline to week 14 vs. placebo Part 1 & Part 2 pooled Pooled 350 mg + 700 mg group also had significant reductions in PDFF and cT1 vs. placebo Although small sample size (n=5) CCR5 haplotype analysis is suggestive that specific haplotypes may be better suited for the 700 mg dose of leronlimab Results warrant additional follow-up in a larger trial 47

77 Overall Conclusions for mTNBC Studies Based on the analysis of 28 mTNBC patients treated with leronlimab who had failed ≥1 line of previous therapy and its historical comparison with SOC chemotherapy treatment or Sacituzumab Govitecan (SG) treatment, including those with brain or bone metastases: The median overall survival for patients that received leronlimab + carboplatin was greater than 12 months, regardless of brain or bone metastases, and with more than one line of previous failed therapy, which is superior to standard of care chemotherapy (6.6 months) or SG (11.8 months) The median overall survival for patients that received higher doses (≥525 mg) of leronlimab was 12+ months, regardless of brain or bone metastases, and with more than one line of previous failed therapy, which is also superior to standard of care chemotherapy and SG The median progression-free survival for patients that received higher doses of leronlimab (≥525 mg) have significantly longer mPFS of 6.2 months. (95% CI: 2.6 months - 7.5 months) compared to standard of care chemotherapy in third line setting of 2.3 months (95% CI: 2.3 – 2.5 months) or compared to SG treatment (including patients with brain metastases) after first line setting of 4.8 months (95% CI: 4.1 months – 5.8 months). 92% of the patients that had measurable lesions prior to start of leronlimab had stable disease or partial response in target legions after the 1st dose of leronlimab. 1 2 3 4
