3 T-Cell Engaging Bispecifics
T-cell Engaging Bispecific Therapeutics: Highly Potent, but Associated with Safety Liabilities T-Cell Engaging Bispecifics T-cell Engaging Bispecific Antibodies (Ab-TCBs) Bring cytotoxic T cells & cancer cells together Highly potent but toxic modality – unforgiving for target expression on normal tissue EGFR/CD3 BiTE in cynomolgus monkeys.1 Kidney and liver toxicity, cytokine storm, inflammatory cell infiltrates in EGFR-expressing organs EpCAM/CD3 Catumaxomab: drug-related fatal hepatic failure at 10ug dose (trial terminated).2 Challenging to use for solid tumors Target Cell T Cell Nature Biotechnology 23, (2005) 1Lutterbuese et al., (2010) PNAS 107: 12605 2Mau-Sorensen, M et al.

4 Probody™ Therapeutics are Designed to be Activated in the Tumor Microenvironment
ANTI-CANCER ANTIBODY PROTEASE-CLEAVABLE LINKER MASKING PEPTIDE PROTEASES Well-established that upregulated protease activity is a hallmark of most if not all cancers, while proteases are tightly controlled in normal tissues. The Probody platform aims to take advantage of this distinction by engineering a protease-activatable substrate into a recombinant antibody CytomX Probody linkers are designed to be cleaved by multiple proteases for utility across tumor types PROBODY is a trademark of CytomX Therapeutics, Inc.

5 EGFR-dependent Cytotoxicity
EGFR/CD3 Probody TCB Attenuates Cytotoxicity >1000x in vitro that is Fully Recovered by Protease Treatment Probody Bispecific (Pb-TCB) Protease-cleaved, Recovered potency >1000x EGFR-dependent Cytotoxicity Fc effector mutant(s) a-CD3 scFvs a-EGFR Protease cleavable linker mask

6 EGFR/CD3 Probody TCB Induces Regressions of Established HT-29 Tumors in T-Cell Engrafted NSG mice
Ab-TCB Pb-TCB Dose-dependent activity Ab-TCB & Pb-TCBs demonstrate comparable anti-tumor

7 Concentration TCB in Plasma
Probody TCBs Protect from Cytokine Release and Organ Toxicity While Extending PK in Cynomolgus Monkeys IL-6 ~33x Concentration TCB in Plasma Pb-TCB >300 Fold Higher Exposure Than Toxic Ab-TCB >300X Dose (mg/kg) ~33x AST Dose (mg/kg)

8 EGFR Probody TCBs Expand Therapeutic Window in Preclinical Studies
Efficacy: Potent tumor activity despite strong masking Attenuates target binding and T cell cytotoxicity >1000-fold in vitro under protease-deficient conditions Is highly effective in vivo, eliminating established tumors Safety: Reduced cytokine and organ toxicities despite high exposure Probody TCB MTDs are >30 times that of the corresponding antibody TCB Tolerated Probody TCB serum concentrations are >300 times than for toxic antibody TCB dose Probody technology has the potential to protect normal tissues and expand utility for bispecifics, especially for solid tumors
