Trial population and geography? ●What biologic data may be available to better understand the outcomes? ●What other relevant clinical data are expected? ●Why did this result occur?

12 CR-12 The Play of Chance? ●Is the overall outcome in Trial 709 inconsistent with that seen in erlotinib study (BR21)? BR21 Trial 709 Survival Response rate, % Favors active agentFavors placebo 9 8

13 CR-13 Dose Selection Strategy ●Doses up to 1000 mg explored in extensive Phase I program ●250 mg and 500 mg compared in randomized Phase II trials in 416 patients No difference in survival Increased toxicity at 500 mg ●No data to suggest doses above 500 mg would achieve better outcomes but cannot be ruled out completely ●Doses up to 1000 mg explored in extensive Phase I program ●250 mg and 500 mg compared in randomized Phase II trials in 416 patients No difference in survival Increased toxicity at 500 mg ●No data to suggest doses above 500 mg would achieve better outcomes but cannot be ruled out completely

14 CR-14 Methodologic: Areas to Explore ●Highly refractory population? ●Cultural or environmental differences between regions? Smoking exposure ●Highly refractory population? ●Cultural or environmental differences between regions? Smoking exposure

15 CR-15 What Does This Mean? ●IRESSA ® is an active and well-tolerated agent ●Data consistent with Phase II and large clinical experience ●Variability in outcome, with significant survival increase in Never smokers Asian patients ●Biomarker studies from Trial 709 may help in further interpretation of results ●IRESSA ® is an active and well-tolerated agent ●Data consistent with Phase II and large clinical experience ●Variability in outcome, with significant survival increase in Never smokers Asian patients ●Biomarker studies from Trial 709 may help in further interpretation of results

16 CR-16 Biomarkers of Interest in NSCLC ●EGFR expression Exploratory analyses from Phase II IDEAL studies Relationship with survival shown for erlotinib ●EGFR activating mutations Described in dramatic responders to IRESSA ® ●Other exploratory biomarkers EGFR gene copy number HER-family dimerization patterns ●EGFR expression Exploratory analyses from Phase II IDEAL studies Relationship with survival shown for erlotinib ●EGFR activating mutations Described in dramatic responders to IRESSA ® ●Other exploratory biomarkers EGFR gene copy number HER-family dimerization patterns

17 Relationship Between EGFR Expression and Survival for Erlotinib BR21 A positive EGFR expression status was defined as having at least 10% of cells staining for EGFR in contrast to the 1% cut-off specified in the DAKO EGFR pharmDx™ kit instructions. The use of the pharmDx kit has not been validated for use in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. TARCEVA prolonged survival in the EGFR positive subgroup (N = 127; HR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.43 - 0.97) (figure 3) and the subgroup whose EGFR status was unmeasured (N = 493; HR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.61 - 0.93) (figure 5), but did not appear to have an effect on survival in the EGFR negative subgroup (N = 111; HR = 1.01; 95% CI = 0.65 - 1.57) (figure 4). However, the confidence intervals for the EGFR positive, negative and unmeasured subgroups are wide and overlap, so that a survival benefit due to TARCEVA in the EGFR negative subgroup cannot be excluded.

18 CR-18 Mutation of the EGFR Tyrosine Kinase in Human Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma ●Mutation appears almost exclusively in NSCLC ●Mutation is activating, in ATP-binding site ●Mutation more frequent in Females Adenocarcinomas Never smokers ●Frequency of mutation approx. 12% in Caucasian, 26% in Asian population ●Incomplete association of mutation with response in IDEAL studies (6/14 PR in mutation+) Paez J, Janne, PA, Lee JC, et al. Science. April 29 2004; Lynch TJ, Bell DW, Sordella et al. N Engl J Med. April 30 2004.

19 CR-19 Biologic Correlations Summary of Currently Available Data ●EGFR expression appears to be associated with increased survival in BR21 ●EGFR mutations appear to explain some, but not all, of the responses to IRESSA ® ●Outcomes in trial 709 comparing IRESSA ® to placebo will be explored in terms of EGFR expression, activating mutation and other biomarkers Data available in June 2005 Results may provide further insight into clinical outcomes ●Prospective studies needed ●EGFR expression appears to be associated with increased survival in BR21 ●EGFR mutations appear to explain some, but not all, of the responses to IRESSA ® ●Outcomes in trial 709 comparing IRESSA ® to placebo will be explored in terms of EGFR expression, activating mutation and other biomarkers Data available in June 2005 Results may provide further insight into clinical outcomes ●Prospective studies needed
