3 RV001 Immunotherapy against disease progression
Utilize body’s own immune system, through T-cell activation, to fight cancer cells RhoVac’s drug candidate, RV001, targets the protein RhoC which is documented to be overexpressed in almost all cancer cells having metastatic potential ⃰ We cooperate with the body's immune system - instead of working against it ⃰ Clark et al. 2000; Hakem et al. 2005; Wenandy et al. 2008; Karlsson et al. 2009; Yang et al. 2016; et al BioStock Stockholm April 29, 2019

4 Anti-metastasis immunotherapy
RhoVac has a unique immuno-oncology product: anti-metastasis for early stage of disease progression, applicable to a broad range of cancers Adjuvant Treatment of Prostate Cancer Patients with biochemical failure, Following Definitive Local Therapy Project has completed phase I/II clinical study and is now entering clinical phase IIb in placebo-controlled study Every year, 1.0 million (2018) new patients are diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. Following definitive local therapy 40% of these patients are expected to metastasize. Clinical development in an additional indication, in combination with a check-point inhibitor, is planned.

8 T-cell Activation Concept
DC capturing, absorbing and processing the antigen become “Antigen-Presenting-Cells” (APC) If cytotoxic T-cells meet cells that present the antigen fragment, they attack the these cells and eliminate them. “APC“ interact with "naïve” T-cells which are programmed to recognize the antigen fragment and thus become to cytotoxic T-cells".

11 Phase I/II Clinical Trial : Study Results
Primary Objective, Safety and Tolerability Safety Proportion of patients developing treatment related Grade 3, 4 or 5 toxicity in accordance with CTCAE There were no treatment related Grade 3, 4 or 5 toxicity during the study Tolerability Good compliance to treatment and no withdrawals due to safety Patients only experienced mild (≤ Grade 2), reversible injection site reactions RV001 was shown to be safe and well tolerated in patients with prostate cancer BioStock Stockholm April 29, 2019

12 Phase I/II Clinical Trial : Study Results
Secondary Objective, Immunological Response 18 out of 21 patients (86%) were Confirmed Immune Responders RV001-mediated immune response is established and the selected dose is biologically active BioStock Stockholm April 29, 2019

13 Phase IIb Clinical Study – In Progress
A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of RV001, in Men with Biochemical Failure Following Definitive Local Therapy (e.g. Prostatectomy, Radiotherapy) 150 (175) patients with biochemical (PSA) recurrence following definitive local therapy will be recruited. First-patient-in to analysis of primary end-point is estimated to 24 months Analysis of PSA doubling time in each patient ≤12 months treatment Primary Objective: To evaluate if RV001 can reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression compared to the control group. Time to PSA progression will be defined as the time for each patient’s PSA to double Well defined endpoint to monitor PSA progression and also clinical practice Secondary Endpoints: To evaluate if RV001 can delay the time to subsequent antineoplastic therapy initiation.
