1 Celestia S. Higano MD, FACP Professor Medicine and Urology University of Washington Member, Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center The Prostate Net Prostate Cancer Symposium Inaugural Meeting New York City October 6, 2009 Emerging Treatments on the Horizon

2 Many Potential New Therapeutic Agents on the Horizon  AR targeted hormonal therapy – Abiraterone – MDV3100  Immunotherapy – Provenge – Ipilimumab  Other emerging therapies

3 Prostate Cancer Clinical Disease States Rising PSA Clinical Metastases: Castration resistant 1st Line Docetaxel Clinical Metastases: Castration resistant Pre-chemo Clinically Localized Disease Rising PSA: Castration resistant Clinical Metastases: Hormone sensitive Clinical Metastases: Castration resistant Scher H et al. PCWG2. J Clin Oncol. 2008; 26:1148-59.

4 4 Sipuleucel-T (Provenge ® ) Dendritic Cell Vaccine  Leukapheresis T cells attack tumor cells In vivo T cell activation Antigen Loading Antigen-loaded APC Antigen Processing Dendritic cell ~ 40 hours  Infusion  Culture Precursor APC Dendritic cell Tumor specific antigen

5 Phase III IMPACT Trial Primary endpoint:Overall Survival Secondary endpoint: Time to Objective Disease Progression Asymptomatic or Minimally Symptomatic Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (N=512) Pre- chemotherapy Asymptomatic or Minimally Symptomatic Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (N=512) Pre- chemotherapy Placebo Q 2 weeks x 3 Sipuleucel- T Q 2 weeks x 3 PROGRESSIONPROGRESSION PROGRESSIONPROGRESSION 2:1 SURVIVALSURVIVAL SURVIVALSURVIVAL Treated at Physician discretion and/or Salvage Protocol Placebo Q 2 weeks x 3 Treated at Physician discretion

6 IMPACT Overall Survival 75 100 Percent Surviv al Survival (months) P = 0.032 (Cox model) HR = 0.775 [95% CI: 0.614, 0.979] Median Survival Benefit = 4.1 Mos. Sipuleucel-T (n = 341) Median Survival: 25.8 Mos. Placebo (n = 171) Median Survival: 21.7 Mos. Schellhammer, Higano, Berger et al, AUA Annual Meeting 2009.

7 Toxicity  Chills  Fever  Headache

8 Issue Surrounding Sipuleucel-T for FDA Review Pros  Overall survival benefit  Consistent data compared across studies  Favorable toxicity profile  Strong demand from patients Cons  No improvement of TTP  No pain palliative data  No effect on PSA  Administration issues  Cost  Other issues

9 CTLA-4 Blockade Activates Antigen Specific T-Cell Responses B7 T cell Activation CD28 MHC TCR T cell CTLA-4 APC 1. Co-stimulation via CD28 ligation transduces T cell activating signals MHC TCR Anti-CTLA4 mAb CD28 T cell CTLA-4 APC T cell Activation 3. Blocking CTLA-4 ligation enhances T cell responses MHC TCR T cell APC CD28 CTLA-4 T cell Inactivation B7 2. CTLA-4 ligation on activated T cells down-regulates T cell responses

10 Ipilimumab (Anti-CTLA 4 antibody)  Phase II Ipi alone and with single dose radiation  Phase III trial  Ipi and GVAX10

11 Radiation promotes cross-presentation of tumor associated antigens CTLA- 4 Anti-CTLA4 mAb Modified after: Demaria, et al, Int. J. Radiation Oncology Biol. Phys., Vol. 63, No. 3, pp. 655–666, 2005

15 Summary of Objective Responses Treatment Group** RECIST Response 10 mg/kg monotherapy N=11 SD 5 (45.5%) PR* 1 (9.1%) CR 1 (9.1%) XRT in NoCHEMO N=13 SD 11 (84.6%) XRT in CHEMO N=6 SD 3 (50%) *Not confirmed ** Patients with measurable disease

16 Phase III Trial of Radiation plus Placebo or Ipilimumab  Must have received prior docetaxel  No more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens  At least one bone lesion that has not been irradiated  Not eligible – Men with auto-immune diseases – Prior treatment with strontium or samarium16

17 Where is immunotherapy going?  Provenge likely to be approved – Who should get it?  GVAX is dead for now – Survival data for Vital 1 in progress in Seattle  Ipililumab just starting phase III – Can this type of agent be used in the community? – Stand by…17
