NGR-hTNF: a novel vascular targeting agent with broad therapeutic potential in solid tumours First-in-class vascular targeting agent (VTA) Recombinant homotrimeric fusion protein Structure of NGR-hTNF (1 subunit)
Cyclic CNGRCG peptide: targets tvCD13, a receptor present on tumour neo neo-vasculature vasculature
Human TNF: Binds to TNF receptors (TNFRI and TNF-RII) on vascular endothelium Strong antitumour effect Destroys blood vessel function Approved as anticancer drug, b t toxicity but t i it li limits it application li ti to isolated limb perfusion

Multiple potential applications in cancer therapy Novel mechanism of action offers new treatment options:
• •
For refractory patients, pre pre-treated treated with anti anti-angiogenic angiogenic and chemotherapy regimens For indications with high unmet need and few therapeutic options (Orphan Drug designation in both EU and US for mesothelioma)
Very favourable toxicity profile as single agent and in combination Enhances activity of chemotherapy Activityy in a varietyy of solid tumours Proven anticancer activity in single agent Phase II trials, endorsing the vast applicability of NGR-hTNF: Improvement of survival in heavily pre-treated colorectal cancer patients Long-lasting, ongoing liver cancer L l ti i complete l t response iin li Enhancement of disease control duration in mesothelioma following dose intensification

NGR-hTNF Phase II trials as single agent Optimal safety profile:
• No cu cumulative ulat ve or o long-term lo g te to toxicity c ty obse observed ved • Side effects essentially consitutional symptoms (chills) limited to infusion time
3 single arm trials (enrolment completed) in pre-treated patients with advanced disease, disease with 2 administration schedules tested (q3w and q1w):
• • •
Colorectal carcinoma (NGR006): overall survival more than doubled with respect to data reported for best supportive care Hepatocellular carcinoma (NGR008): ongoing complete tumour necrosis in a patient refractory to sorafenib Malignant pleural mesothelioma (NGR010): dose intensification may significantly prolong disease control duration
