Lucitanib Overview

• Strong rationale to study lucitanib in combinations with checkpoint inhibitors

– Recent data for lenvatinib which inhibits the same three pathways as lucitanib – when combined with the PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab – showed encouraging results and rationale for development of lucitanib in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor

– Global strategic clinical collaboration between Eisai and Merck resulting in jointly initiated new clinical studies evaluating the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to support 13 potential indications including a basket trial

– Preclinical data for lucitanib in combination with PD-1 inhibitor demonstrated enhanced anti-tumor activity compared to that of single agents

• Lucitanib added to Clovis’ clinical collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb; combination study with Opdivo in advanced gynecologic cancers and other solid tumors now enrolling

• Based on encouraging preclinical and clinical data of VEGF and PARP inhibitors in combination, a study of lucitanib in combination with Rubraca in advanced ovarian cancer now enrolling

• Clovis owns global rights (excluding China) to lucitanib

• Composition of matter expires 2030 in the U.S. and 2028 in Europe; with up to five years patent term extension available

Lucitanib is an Oral Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor

• Lucitanib is an investigational, oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3 (VEGFR1-3), platelet derived growth factor receptors (PDGFR) α/β and fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-3 (FGFR1-3)

Lucitanib is a Potent and Selective Kinase Inhibitor

• Heatmap shows percent kinase inhibition by the indicated compounds profiled against 256 kinases

– Lucitanib, lenvatinib, and cediranib inhibit the activity of multiple tyrosine kinases

– Lenvatinib and cediranib have activity against additional kinases not targeted by lucitanib

– Data highlight the highly selective inhibition profile of lucitanib

Source: 1 Clovis internal data: kinase activity profiling by HotSpot assay was performed at Reaction Biology using 0.5 µM of each compound, with 10 µM ATP, 2018.

Lucitanib Clinical Development History

• Monotherapy development by Clovis and Servier focused on activity assessment in FGFR driven tumors (predominantly breast and lung cancers)

– Monotherapy data in breast and lung cancers were insufficient to support continued development

• Recommended monotherapy dose was 10 mg/day1

– Most patients (421/424) in safety database treated at or above recommended dose

– Safety profile consistent with potent VEGF pathway inhibition

Lucitanib Development Rationale Today

• Strong rationale to study lucitanib in combinations with checkpoint and PARP inhibitors

– The combination of inhibiting angiogenic pathways and blocking an immune checkpoint has shown encouraging results in preclinical and clinical studies, providing a rationale for development of lucitanib in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor

– Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate a link between PARP inhibition and suppression of angiogenesis; these results provide a rationale for development of lucitanib in combination with a PARP inhibitor

Targeting Angiogenesis and Immune Checkpoint Pathways May Have a Synergistic Effect on Antitumor Activity

• VEGF and other angiogenic factors promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), which is often exploited by tumors to stimulate tumor growth and metastasis1

• Angiogenesis has been shown to be immunosuppressive within the tumor microenvironment, dampening anti-tumor immune responses1

– Immune effects of angiogenesis include modulation of T-cell infiltration into the tumor, inhibition of dendritic cell maturation, and the modulation of cell adhesion molecules and immune cell populations

• Inhibition of angiogenesis by small molecule RTK inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies may reverse immunosupression1

• These data suggest the clinical activity of PD-(L)1 inhibitors may be enhanced through the inhibition of angiogenesis by lucitanib

Lucitanib and Rucaparib Combination: Preclinical and Clinical Data Support Potential Activity of Combining an Anti-angiogenic with PARP Inhibitor

• There is a link between PARP inhibition and suppression of angiogenesis -chronic hypoxia induces down-regulation of BRCA1 and RAD51 and decreases homologous recombination in cancer cells1

• The oral VEGFR inhibitor cediranib has been investigated in combination with olaparib in recurrent ovarian cancer2

– PFS was 17.7 months for cediranib + olaparib arm versus 9.0 months for the single-agent olaparib arm (HR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.23–0.76; p = 0.005)

– Increased activity of cediranib + olaparib versus olaparib alone in the subgroup of patients with wild-type or unknown BRCA status, with an improvement in median PFS from 5.7 to 16.5 months (HR = 0.32, p = 0.008) and ORR from 32% to 76% (p = 0.006)
