actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular projection

is realised. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to, implementation of Nordic Nanovector’s strategy and its ability to further grow,

risks associated with the development and/or approval of Nordic Nanovector’s products candidates, ongoing clinical trials and expected trial results, the ability to

commercialise Betalutin®, technology changes and new products in Nordic Nanovector’s potential market and industry, the ability to develop new products and enhance

existing products, the impact of competition, changes in general economy and industry conditions and legislative, regulatory and political factors.

Betalutin® is specifically designed to treat NHL…

Multi-cell kill approach

• Prolonged irradiation of tumour cells within ~50-cell radius enables “multi-cell kill” effect, that destroys even malignant cells that do not express CD37 or have limited blood supply

• CD37 is a useful therapeutic target for novel therapies in NHL patients that have relapsed after CD20-based therapy

• Internalization of the antibody anchors the payload to the cancer cells, resulting in a prolonged irradiation of the cancer cell nucleus

• Beta-emitting particles with half-life (6.7 days) matching the antibody’s circulation time, long enough to ensure that tumour mass is irradiated

• Mean range of radiation treats ‘bulky’ tumors while limiting damage to health tissue

Lutetium-177:ideal therapeutic and safety properties

CD37: a validated target for B-cell NHL

ARC’s could deliver better treatment outcomes than immunotherapies (monoclonal antibodies or ADC’s), which rely on a single cell kill approach

Preclinical data suggest potential synergy from combination of Betalutin® with rituximab

• Treatment with rituximab-containing regimens can result in disappearance of the CD20 antigen expression, leading to reduced clinical effect

• CD20 antigen levels are upregulated after treatment with Betalutin®, increasing binding of rituximab to NHL cells

• The efficacy of rituximab is boosted by a combination of effects after treatment withBetalutin®

18

Survival of SCID mice intravenously injected with Rec-1 Mantel celllymphoma cells is increased by the Betalutin® + rituximabcombination (ASH poster, 2015)

Page 19: Introducing a First-in-Class treatment for Non-Hodgkin ... · Betalutin® is specifically designed to treat NHL… Multi-cell kill approach •Prolonged irradiation of tumour cells

Chimeric HH1 opens up new opportunities for frontline treatment of B-cell malignancies

• Similar internalisation and selectivity to human lymphoid tissues as the HH1 antibody

• Higher Antibody Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC)

• Less immunogenic, enabling safer repeated use

19

SCID mice with MCL xenografts treated 2/wk. with 100 mg chHH1, 100 mgHH1 or 100 ml of NaCl for 4 weeks (black arrows). After 180 days 100 % ofthe mice treated with chHH1 were still alive, vs. 70 % with HH1. (EANMabstract, 2015)
