Eniluracil Summary

Product Candidate: Eniluracil (EU) 2 Oral Chemotherapy for Solid Tumors Irreversible inhibitor of DPD, the enzyme responsible for the rapid breakdown of 5-FU Developed as a potentiator of 5-FU in the 1990s by Burroughs Wellcome and then by GlaxoWellcome (now GSK)

Fluorouracil Market Overview 3 5-FU (5-Fluorouracil) Discovered in 1957, widely available as generic IV only Principal uses: colorectal, breast, gastric, pancreatic, head and neck, ovarian and basal cell cancer Used in combination with leucovorin, which improves 5- FU antitumor activity Annual use: 500,000 patients in North America, millions worldwide Xeloda ® (capecitabine) Oral, prodrug of 5-FU On the market since 1998, expected generic in the US by 2013/2014 Principal uses: colorectal, breast and gastric cancer Not used with leucovorin Global Sales in 2012 of $1.6B 12% YOY growth, $634 MM US Sales, marketed by Roche UFT ® (tegafur-uracil) Developed in Japan during the 1980s Oral, combining uracil (competitive inhibitor of DPD) and tegafur (prodrug of 5-FU) Approved in 50 countries, except the US Principal uses: colorectal, breast, gastric, pancreatic, head and neck, liver, ovarian and basal cell cancer Used in combination with leucovorin Marketed by Merck Serono, Korea United and Taiho Teysuno ® (tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil-potassium) Oral combination of tegafur (prodrug of 5-FU) plus 2 enzyme inhibitors: gimeracil and oteracil On the market since 1999 in Japan and since 2011 in Europe, marketed by Taiho Principal uses: gastric, colorectal, head and neck, non- small cell lung, breast, pancreatic cancer Not used with leucovorin

5-FU Metabolic Pathways 5-FU must be activated to kill cancer cells The enzyme, DPD, prevents activation and degrades 5-FU to F-BAL 4 (PK = pharmacokinetics; measurements of 5-FU in patient’s blood. MTD = Maximum Tolerated Dose) F-BAL problems : >80% of dose = F-BAL Decreases 5-FU Efficacy Neurotoxic Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) agent DPD problems : Highly Variable levels Unpredictable 5-FU PK 5-FU t 1/2 = min 5-FU MTD correlates with DPD

The Solution: EU Inactivates DPD 5 EU Eliminates DPD & F-BAL Problems F-BAL formation is minimal: No interference with efficacy Minimize neurotoxicity HFS is negligible 5-FU is not destroyed: Half-life = 5 hr. Highly predictable linear PK Oral dosing

EU Clear Advantages 7 Enable oral 5 ‑ FU dosing  100% Oral Bioavailability Yield highly predictable 5 ‑ FU dosing (see above graphs oral 5-FU with EU vs. iv 5-FU) Decrease toxicity  Well tolerated, Negligible HFS Improve antitumor efficacy  Encouraging Preclinical and Phase I & II *Source: Baker SD.

Fennec licensed EU from GSK, based on the following study results of rats with large tumors: EU:5-FU ratio 5:1 ratio excess EU present <1:5 ratio excess EU avoided A high ratio of EU to 5-FU was less effective than a low ratio

New Weekly Schedule: Avoids Excess EU when 5-FU is administered OutcomeEU/5-FU/LvXeloda ® Treatment 20mg/29mg/m 2 /30mg weekly for 3 weeks 1,250mg/m 2 every 12 hr for 14 days Tumor Responses 2/170/22 Diarrhea total ( severe ) 65 ( 17 ) %74 ( 26 ) % Hand-Foot-Syndrome total ( severe ) 0 ( 0 ) %87 ( 13 ) % Dr. Grem’s Phase I Weekly Schedule vs. Xeloda ® ’s Phase 2 in Advanced Colorectal Cancer Refractory to iv 5-FU/Lv 10 Eniluracil/5-FU/leucovorin: better efficacy and less toxicity than Xeloda ® This study established the correct 5-FU dose, without excess EU present

Weekly EU/5-FU/Lv schedule (all oral regimen) Administers a higher EU dose to eliminate all DPD, including DPD in nervous tissue to minimize neurotoxicity. Allows excess EU to be cleared before dosing with 5 ‑ FU Administers 5 ‑ FU when the EU:5 ‑ FU ratio is very low to optimize efficacy Administers Lv with 5 ‑ FU and 24 hr afterwards to potentiate 5-FU efficacy Described in Fennec patents issued and pending worldwide, expiring from 2025 to 2029 Phase II: Oral 5-FU Regimens Comparison in MBC EU Dose : 40 mg (11-16 hr before 5-FU) 5-FU Dose : 30 mg/m 2 EU:5-FU will be ≤ 1:10 Leucovorin Dose : 30 mg Leucovorin Dose : 30 mg 11 + Arm 1 : Weekly Schedule: taken 3 weeks followed by 1 week interlude Arm 2 : 1000 mg/m 2 Xeloda® twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days interlude

Interim Adverse Events* 19 *Patients were assessed 3 times per cycle in the EU/5-FU/Lv arm and only once per cycle in the Xeloda arm, which may account for the higher incidence of some of the findings in the EU/5-FU/Lv arm.

EU Clinical Benefit vs Xeloda ® The possible mechanisms for rapid Xeloda ® failure and subsequent clinical benefit from EU/5-FU/Lv may include any of the following: 1.Low Xeloda ® absorption (highly variable with possible extended lag periods) 2.Low or deficient levels of one or more of the three enzymes required to convert Xeloda ® to 5-FU 3.Low intratumoral thymidine phosphorylase 4.Elevated DPD 5.Up to 85-fold swings in the diurnal variation of DPD levels 6.F-Bal interfering with the antitumor activity 7.Added benefit of leucovorin EU/5-FU/Lv circumvents and/or eliminates problems 1-6 and enables the safer use of leucovorin because EU creates consistent and predictable 5-FU pharmacokinetics 20

EU Advantages Over Teysuno ® and UFT ® 21 DPD inhibitor (5-Chloro, 2,4- dihydroxypyridine) used in Teysuno® (S-1) is a simple competitive reversible inhibitor. Accordingly, it must be present when 5-FU is administered to inhibit 5-FU breakdown by DPD. Therefore, it is likely to interfere with the antitumor activity of 5-FU in a similar manner that excess eniluracil interfered in the GSK studies. Because eniluracil is an irreversible inactivator of DPD, it can be separated and dosed the night before 5- FU and cleared from the body before 5-FU is given. Therefore, every patient DPD deficient, yet the DPD inhibitor is not present to interfere with 5-FU antitumor activity. Because eniluracil eliminates all DPD, the 5-FU PK are remarkably consistent and predictable, thereby allowing the safe use of leucovorin to potentiate the antitumor activity of 5-FU. In contrast, the variable conversion of the tegafur prodrug to 5-FU and its variable breakdown by DPD result in variable 5-FU PK from S-1, which render co-administration of leucovorin very risky. UFT ® has uracil as the DPD inhibitor. Uracil and thymine are the natural substrates for DPD. Uracil only inhibits as it is being degraded by DPD. It's a weak, reversible, alternative-substrate inhibitor that is metabolically depleted by DPD. Head-to-head in rats, EU/5-FU was considerably better than UFT.

FDA EOP 2 Meeting Summary Interim Results indicate EU/5-FU/Lv regimen active and well tolerated in MBC FDA can not endorse a single arm pivotal trial in rapidly failed Xeloda ® patients in MBC since there are other approved therapies available such as Halaven ® and Ixempra ® Discussed with Fennec the following development options in MBC:  One superiority study vs Xeloda ® monotherapy for 1 st or 2 nd line therapy in metastatic setting for patients previously treated with an anthracycline and a taxane  One superiority study vs physician’s drug of choice for patients who have previously received at least two chemotherapeutic regimens in metastatic setting and were previously treated with an anthracycline and a taxane  Two non inferiority studies vs physician’s drug of choice for patients who have previously received at least two chemotherapeutic regimens in metastatic setting and were previously treated with an anthracycline and a taxane Fennec also must demonstrate the contribution of Leucovorin in future MBC studies, but not in colorectal cancer (CRC), where Leucovorin is approved Historical EU safety database supports future NDA filing FDA encourages Fennec to meet again and discuss a trial design for future Phase 3 study 22

EU Development Plan Forward in the US Future studies of EU/5-FU/Lv regimen in MBC require large number of patients EU/5-FU/Lv active and well tolerated in refractory iv 5-FU and Xeloda ® populations Encouraging results from Dr. Grem Phase I study in mCRC and Fennec Phase II study in MBC Potential development options in mCRC:  EU/5-FU/Lv after Stivarga ® (regorafenib) treatment Stivarga ® not well tolerated in mCRC patients Patients on Stivarga ® have very short progression free survival Possibly fast enrolling trial, could be done in the US only Enthusiastic investigators, sites, CRO and PI have been identified A single Phase III trial could lead to approval 23
