• No SoC is established in the treatment of Her2 negative metastatic Breast Cancer

• Multiple treatment options - all with similar, and limited, benefit

• High medical need for more efficacious therapies, without increasing toxicity in this setting

• Balixafortide could offer the opportunity for establishing a new SoCbased on relevant clinical improvements across all endpoints

• Scientific and clinical rationale for further extending this opportunity in Breast Cancer with other combinations - besides with eribulin

• In addition, CXCR4 is becoming an important and recognized target across a spectrum of indications

• Further opportunity to expand beyond breast cancer in a number of solid and haematological tumors

Significant opportunity in mBC; further opportunity beyond BCSignificant Market Opportunity

Rationale for the combination of CXCR4 inhibitors and taxanes

Wang Y et al., 2018

NT21MP negatively regulates paclitaxel-resistant cells by targeting miR-155-3p and miR-155-5p via the CXCR4 pathway in breast cancer.

Rationale for the combination of CXCR4

inhibitors and anthracyclines

Mahjoub MA et al., 2017

Combination treatment with dendrosomalnanocurcumin and doxorubicin improves anticancer effects on breast cancer cells through modulating CXCR4/NF-kB/Smoregulatory network.

Rationale for use of

Balixafortide in additional

combinations in breast cancer

Page 20: Corporate Presentation - Polyphor · 5 Antibiotic pipeline : Inhaled murepavadin aimed at CF and OMPTAs, ... ~H2 2020 Murepavdin IV Re-engineering ~Q4 2019 POL6014 Phase 1b Results

Even without a biomarker, Balixafortide with Eribulin could generate a sizable

opportunity in mBC, based on superior outcomes

A biomarker specific strategy aimed at CXCR4 high expressers is being explored

CXCR4 expressers may have a substantially higher benefit

CXCR4 subpopulation is an exploratory end point in the Phase 3 study

New CXCR4 biomarker assay under development

A high CXCR4 expression targeting approach could further expand commercial potential

Bigger market: eribulin patients all CXCR4 expressers across chemos

Easier development of other indications

Better commercial sustainability: easier patient targeting, higher pricing/ better

access, further IP

With a CXCR4 expression biomarker Balixafortide could compete in a larger market with further

differentiation

3. Expansion to mBCA+ Taxanes

New Dosage/ administration

4. Expansion to other

combination

‘Treatment paradigm for

CXCR4 related

disease’

1. Balixa– Eribulinin mBCA

Advantage:

Expand Balixafortide+

erib outside the currently

eribulin tx patients in later

lines

Breakthrough designation

could help in setting

balixafortide+ eribulin as

standard of care in 2nd/3rd

line

Advantage:

Would move from a large

indication into a ‘large MoA’-

as many successful oncology

and immunology drugs have

done

Increasing Potential

Advantage:

Would directly tap into the

‘king of chemos’ and

further drive earlier lines of

Would further enlarge

Inhaled Murepavadin could change the treatment paradigm for CF patients

2/3 of CF patients have a Pseudomonas infection

Introduction of CFTR modulators has not changed the need for effective Pseudomonas control

Murepavadin exhibits strong preclinical efficacy, incl. resistant strains, and exposure

A mono-pathogen would be the most rational treatment vs broad spectrum agents (e.g microbiome impact)

Kidney organ toxicity not expected at inhaled dose strength -supported by first safety studies in mice and NHP

Low dose vs. IV (est.~1/10th)

Low systemic penetration (>5 fold)

Targeted, attractive orphan opportunity

Attractive orphan pricing

Investment Highlights

2 Proprietary Macrocycle Technology Platform – discovery engine in oncology & antibiotics

5 Antibiotic pipeline : Inhaled murepavadin aimed at CF and OMPTAs, the first new class of antibiotics against gram negative pathogens in 50 years - both largely externally financed. In addition, POL6014 (respiratory-outlicensed)

Polyphor: Innovative biopharmaceutical company with a Phase III immuno-oncology compound with fast path to market and a strong pipeline
