Operational Highlights of the Second Quarter
Update of CVac clinical development program. In November 2013, Prima announced significant updates to its CVac clinical development program based
on the progression-free survival data from its CAN-003 trial. In the CAN-003 trial, CVac demonstrated a strong trend of increased progression-free survival in ovarian cancer patients in remission after second line treatment, as compared to those
patients who did not receive CVac.

Based on these results, Prima will enroll a new cohort for the CAN-004 trial of 210 epithelial ovarian cancer
patients in remission after second-line platinum-based chemotherapy. This trial will be conducted as an amendment to the CAN-004 protocol. The primary endpoint for this study will be Overall Survival (OS); secondary endpoints include
progression-free survival (PFS), adverse events, and immune monitoring.
Prima announced, after the end of the reporting quarter in January 2014, that the
amended CAN-004 protocol had been approved by the Belgian regulatory agency. The Company anticipates that other countries will soon follow and that recruitment of patients into the amended CAN-004 trial will start on schedule by the second quarter
of calendar year 2014.
Prima will also move forward with a 40-patient pilot, multicenter, single-arm trial of CVac for the maintenance treatment of
resected pancreatic cancer patients. This trial will assess OS, PFS, adverse events, and immune monitoring.
