The Senesco Opportunity Monoclonal antibodies - >$50B annual sales with 30+ FDA approved molecules in multiple therapeutic areas. - A proven drug class with a straightforward development path. - Senesco has a proprietary technology enabling discovery of first and best in class antibodies against certain large target classes Nanoparticle gene regulation - Gene and siRNA therapies are an emerging paradigm in disease treatment - Senesco has a proprietary position in eIF5a regulatory pathways, as well as unique nanocage delivery systems 6
Pipeline SNS01 - T - Nanoparticle for B - cell cancers - siRNA /Gene therapy targeting eIF5a - Induces apoptosis - Phase Ib / IIa trial expected to finish 2H 2014 - Multiple Myeloma, Diffuse Large Cell B - cell Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma FB001 - The world's first therapeutic antibody against an ion channel - Based on novel cow antibody scaffold - Targets Kv1.3 on T - cells - Autoimmune/Inflammation indications - Unique mechanism of action - completely shuts off key inflammatory cytokines ( TNF a , IL - 17, etc.) without broad immunosuppression . - Phase I expected 2015/16 FB002 - Anti - Renal Cell Carcinoma - Unique antibody targeting angiogenesis pathways important in anti - VEGF resistance - Potential applications in other cancers - Phase I expected 2016 7
Core Technologies Monoclonal Antibody Discovery - Fully human antibodies (FB002) - Humanized cow antibody scaffold (FB001) - Addressed libraries for discovery against multipass membrane targets on cells Broad technology platform targeting eIF5a - Critical cell survival switch (SNS01 - T) Chimerasome nanocage delivery system 8
These two proteins act as a biological switch to promote cell death or survival CANCER Lysine F5A protein Cell Death amino acid Hypusine eIF5A Survival amino acid eIF5A Lysine and hypusine modifications control cell death and growth 9 SNS01 - T modulates eIF5A, Which Regulates Cell Growth and Death SNS01 - T
SNS01 - T Study Status Cohorts 1 - 3 completed The most frequent AEs are infusion reactions and thrombocytopenia 2/4 patients in cohort 3 have stable disease after 6 weeks of therapy Cohort 4 - Dose escalation to 0.375 mg/kg (6 patients). 3 evaluable patients have completed cohort 4. Results of cohort 4 expected 2H 2014 10
Antibody Discovery Technology: Finding Antibodies Directly on the Cell Surface Current antibody targets - "easy" soluble proteins or large extracellular domains. $50B market Next generation targets - complex targets, e.g. multipass transmembrane receptors, >$50 B market Senesco technology uses unique scaffolds (cow antibody) and identifies antibody lead candidates directly on the cell surface 11
Cow Antibodies: a Novel Scaffold for Targeting Membrane Proteins Wang et.al. (2013) Cell 153 : 1379 - 1393 (featured on the cover) Human Cow Ultralong binding region 12
Engineered Cow Antibodies Targeting Ion Channels Kv1.3 Ion channel IL - 17 (A450, sem ) Inhibition of human effector - memory T - cells Including IL - 17, TNF, and others at pM IC 50 s Autoimmune/Inflammation 13
Future Plans Advance two antibodies to the clinic in 18 - 24 months Establish robust pipeline of antibody and nanoparticle biologics Further develop SNS01 - T Drug development partnerships In - license new product candidates and synergistic technologies Goal: become the preeminent advanced biologics company with best and first in class product candidates and technologies 14
World - class science, management team, and board Dr. Harlan Waksal , Founder of ImClone Dr. Phillip Frost, Chairman of Teva Near - term clinical trial results from Phase 1b/2a study Combination with Fabrus provides "product engine" in next generation antibodies cow antibody coupled with discovery technology enables antibodies against difficult transmembrane targets Multi - billion opportunity in several therapeutic areas 15 Summary
