High CD47 expression often correlates with aggressive disease and poor clinical outcomes

Many hematologic and solid tumors express high levels of CD47

CD47 delivers an inhibitory “do not eat” signal to macrophages through SIRPα

First dose is associated with manageable infusion reactions (similar to rituximab)

No induced anemia, consistent with lack of appreciable drug binding to human erythrocytes

Transient, dose-dependent thrombocytopenia observed

Attenuated after the first infusion

Pre-dose platelet levels remain relatively constant as circulating drug levels increase

MTD cautiously defined at 0.2 mg/kg; case by case dose intensification underway to determine if patients tolerate and benefit from higher exposure

After 6 infusions the half-life is ~ 4 days, consistent with other Fc fusion proteins

Receptor occupancy approaching 50% observed on circulating leukemic cells; levels correlate with preclinical activity

Increases in serum cytokines/chemokines associated with macrophage activation observed:

Several chemokines (e.g., MIP-1α) are associated with TTI-621 activity in preclinical models

Profile suggests rapid engagement of the innate immune system

B cell lymphoma: one Hodgkin lymphoma patient with a transient partial response; several lymphoma patients with prolonged progression-free intervals characterized by decreasing volume disease and decreased PET avidity

AML: one patient with minimal residual disease (0.7% abnormal blasts at baseline) obtained a complete molecular remission after 4 infusions of TTI-621 and remains in continued remission for 15+ weeks

Rituximab combination: 3 of 6 lymphoma patients who have had at least one interval PET/CT restaging obtained partial metabolic responses as demonstrated by decreased tumor activity on PET/CT scans

TTI-621-01 Anti-tumor Activity: Clinical Responses Observed Across Myeloid and Lymphoid Malignancies

Although preliminary, we believe that the multiple clinical responses across varied hematologic malignancies seen to date are encouraging

TTI-621-02: Phase 1 Study in Patients with Solid Tumorsand Mycosis Fungoides (T cell lymphoma)

15

Phase 1 study of intratumoral TTI-621 in patients with percutaneously accessible solid tumors or mycosis fungoides (NCT02890368)

Rationale for intratumoral route of administration:

Compelling preclinical efficacy in xenograft models Achieve high local target saturation Can perform serial, on-treatment biopsies to

characterize the effects of TTI-621 on the tumor microenvironment (e.g., macrophages, T cells)

First patient dosed in Q1/2017

Expanding our CD47 Pipeline with TTI-622

TTI-621 TTI-622

Human IgG1 Fc Human IgG4 Fc

Blocks CD47 and delivers a strong activating signal through FcγRs

Blocks CD47 and delivers a modest activating signal through FcγRs

TTI-621 is the most potent SIRPαFc format

TTI-622 is less likely to deplete platelets, enabling higher exposures

Both agents may have unique combination opportunities

Both agents are differentiated from antibodies by a lack of binding to human erythrocytes

Human SIRPα

SIRPαFc – Broad Clinical Effort in Multiple Malignancies

TTI-621-01 Trial:

Focus on emerging signals of clinical activity and signal seek in additional hematologic malignancies and selected solid tumors

Explore combinations with monoclonal antibodies and other anti-cancer agents

Determine if dose intensification can lead to greater receptor occupancy and ultimately, greater clinical benefit

TTI-621-02 Trial:

Probe the biological effects of TTI-621 on the tumor microenvironment following intratumoral administration

Explore combinations with monoclonal antibodies and other anti-cancer agents

TTI-622:

Submit IND by year end 2017

Trillium’s Innovative Chemistry Platform –Creating Differentiated New Medicines with Fluorine

Block sites of metabolism to increase half-life and reduce toxicity

Electronegativity alters chemical properties to improve binding & potency

Lipophilicity improves oral absorption and blood-brain-barrier (BBB) penetration

Approximately 25% of all marketed drugs contain fluorine

Innovative proprietary chemistry allows access to an unprecedented class of novel fluorinated molecules

19

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the pathogenesis of many cancers

Amplification of EGFR locus is the most common genetic aberration in glioblastoma (GBM)1

Aberrant receptor expression correlates with poor clinical prognosis for GBM patients2

Pharmacological inactivation of EGFR and mutant variants inhibit tumor growth in GBM patients3

EGFR is a Drug Target in Brain Cancer

1Parsons et al. Science. 20082Shinojima et al. Cancer Res. 20033Johns et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2007; Karpel-Massler et al. Mol Cancer Res. 2009

Brain Metastasis

Lung and CRC metastasize to brain

Primary Brain Tumors

>50% of GBMs have amplified/mutated EGFR

20

Approved EGFR Inhibitors Exhibit Poor CNS Penetration

EGFR-targeted drugs approved by FDA

HNSCC: head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

There are numerous EGFR-targeted drugs on the market; none are FDA approved for CNS tumors

Clinical testing of EGFR inhibitors in brain cancers has yielded mixed results

Poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration (<5%) limits efficacy of existing agents

There is an urgent unmet medical need for novel BBB-penetrant EGFR inhibitors

21

TTI-2341 Exhibits Superior BBB Penetration vs. Afatinib

Brain Exposure Following a Single 20 mg/kg Oral Dose in Male SD Rats (n=4)

TTI-2341 brain AUC and Cmax values are 6-fold higher than afatinib

TTI-2341 (but not afatinib) was quantifiable in the brain up to 24 hours post 7-day repeat dosing

TTI-2341 has >10-fold higher Kpuu (unbound drug brain-to-plasma ratio) than afatinib

22

TTI-2341 is a novel covalent inhibitor of wild type and mutant EGFR developed with Trillium’s proprietary fluorine chemistry

Compared to the benchmark compound afatinib, TTI-2341 exhibits:

Similar in vitro potency

Superior in vitro ADME properties

Greater oral bioavailability

Enhanced BBB penetration

TTI-2341 is amenable to radiolabeling with 18F for use as a PET imaging probe

Future development steps have been identified, IND submission can be achieved in approximately 18 months with appropriate resources

Summary – TTI-2341 as a Potential Best-in-class Brain-penetrant Covalent EGFR Inhibitor
