Scientific Pillars Overview 1. The full therapeutic potential of targeting the RAS pathway has not yet

been realized - RAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in human cancers and is associated with a high disease burden and a worse prognosis

2. VS-6766 is a novel dual RAF/MEK inhibitor - VS-6766 achieves vertical blockade of the RAS pathway with a single drug through dual RAF/MEK inhibition

3. Defactinib is a selective FAK inhibitor - Defactinib addresses the compensatory pFAK activation that occurs upon RAS pathway blockade

4. VS-6766 has the potential to become a backbone of therapy for RAS pathway-driven tumors - Due to its dual RAF/MEK blockade and its improved safety profile, VS-6766 may be an ideal combination partner with agents targeting the RAS pathway or parallel signaling pathways

VS-6766 is a Unique Small Molecule RAF/MEK Inhibitor

• VS-6766 inhibits both MEK & RAF kinase activities

• MEK inhibitors paradoxically induce MEK phosphorylation (pMEK) by relieving ERK-dependent feedback inhibition of RAF

• By inhibiting RAF phosphorylation of MEK, VS-6766 has advantage of not inducing pMEK

• VS-6766 inhibits ERK signaling more completely; may confer enhanced therapeutic activity

VS-6766 Achieves Vertical Blockade of RAS Pathway through Dual RAF/MEK Inhibition

Executive Summary

• Current Challenges

• Blocking any single target in the pathway is insufficient for

maximum depth and duration of anti-tumor efficacy (e.g., SHP2i,

KRAS G12Ci, RAFi, MEKi, ERKi)

• Vertical blockade concept is now well established

• Necessary to block more than one target in the pathway

• Many single target agents (e.g., SHP2i, MEKi) have poor

tolerability as monotherapy

• Solutions offered by VS-6766

• Vertical pharmacological blockade through dual RAF/MEK inhibition

• Favorable tolerability with established twice weekly dosing regimen

should enable safe and tolerable combinations with a variety of

anti-tumor agents

• Compelling synergy data (preclinical) emerging for VS-6766

combinations (e.g., with KRAS G12C inhibitors)

• FAK activation may be a resistance mechanism to RAS pathway inhibition

• Blockade of RAF or MEK activates FAK as a potential resistance mechanism in preclinical models

• Clinically, dual blockade of RAF and MEK with VS-6766 activates FAK in patients’ tumors

• FAK activation can drive tumor growth through activation of AKT, YAP and RhoA pathways to bypass the anti-tumor efficacy of RAS pathway blockade

• Combination of VS-6766 with defactinib may therefore confer deeper and more durable anti-tumor efficacy

• Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC) is a type of ovarian cancer that disproportionately affects younger women

• 1,000 to 2,000 patients in the U.S. and 15,000 to 30,000 worldwide diagnosed with LGSOC each year

• A slow growing cancer that has a median survival of almost 10 years, so patients remain in treatment for a long time (10-yr prevalence, ~80,000 worldwide, ~6,000 US)

• Patients often experience significant pain and suffering from their disease over time

• Most prior research has focused on high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC); However, LGSOC is clinically, histologically and molecularly unique from HGSOC with limited treatments available

In an Updated Dec. 2020 Read-out (n=24), ORR Data Has Continued to Strengthen, in Both KRAS Mutant and KRAS Wild-Type Patients, with a Consistent Safety Profile

• Overall response rate (ORR) is 52% (11 of 21 response evaluable patients)

• KRAS mutant ORR at 70% (7 of 10 response evaluable patients)

• KRAS wild-type ORR at 44% (4 of 9 response evaluable patients)

• KRAS status undetermined ORR at 0% (0 of 2 response evaluable patients)

• As reported previously, the most common side effects seen in the study were rash, creatine kinase elevation, nausea, hyperbilirubinemia and diarrhea, most being NCI CTC Grade 1/2 and all were reversible

• Additional data is anticipated to be shared at a medical meeting in 2H 2021

NSCLC Continues to be a Cancer with

High Unmet Needs Due to Multiple

Driver Mutations

Lung cancer is the single leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and worldwide. NSCLC accounts for 80-95% of all lung cancers1. There are 3 subtypes: adenocarcinoma (47%), squamous cell carcinoma (35%), and large cell carcinomas (18%)2

There will be an estimated 228,820 new cases (116,300 men and 112,520 women) and 137,720 deaths in 2020 in the US1

More than half of newly diagnosed patients have advanced disease at initial diagnosis. The 5-year OS rate is 24% (16% for men, 23% for women)3

NSCLC is a molecularly heterogenous disease with multiple driver mutations: EGFR, KRAS, LKB-1, ROS1, BRAF and ALK4

VS-6766 has Potential to Become a Backbone of Therapy for RAS Pathway-Driven Cancers: Vertical Blockade and Parallel Inhibition

Current Challenges

• Blocking RAS pathway can be circumvented through parallel pathways (e.g., PI3K/AKT/mTOR, FAK, RhoA, YAP)

• Combinations of MEKi + AKTi have shown poor tolerability

Solutions offered with VS-6766 in combination with parallel pathway inhibitors

• Good tolerability with twice weekly VS-6766 opens up intermittent dosing options for combinations

• Compelling preclinical synergy data with VS-6766 in combination with FAKi and inhibitors of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (i.e., everolimus)

• RP2D established for VS-6766 + defactinib and for VS-6766 + mTORi (i.e., everolimus) with twice weekly regimen (Udai Banerji, 3Q20)
