Cancer in Russia

300,000 people die each year due to cancer

2,500,000 people are diagnosed with cancer

From 1997 to 2007 the number of cancer patients has increased 13%

Oncolytic Viruses

Oncolytic Viruses – viruses that selectively destroy tumors without impacting normal tissue

Benefits

Selectivity

Effective tumor removal

Limited or no side-effects

Cost-efficiency For some cancers, oncolytic viruses are the only life-saving option

China has approved world's first oncolytic virus therapy for cancer treatment

Kidney Caner in Russia

17,600 diagnosed cases in 2008

47% increase compared with 2000

Significant increase in disease is reported for patients starting 35-39 years old and max at 65-69

High level of HIF (hypoxia induced factor), which activated our oncolytic virus. This makes the project of relatively low risk.

Prostate Cancer in Russia

1 out of 7 men over 50 suffer prostate cancer

>15% lethality rate

Current treatment methods lead to impotency

Breast Cancer in Russia

50,000 women per year suffer breast cancer

41% of the cases are diagnosed at late stages

20,000 women die each year

Cancer Vaccines

Induce tumor-specific protective immune response

Anti-tumor therapeutic agents

Preventive means to preclude tumor relapse after surgical removal

Future use: preventive vaccination for high risk groups (genetic markers, family history, occupational hazard)

Market Comparables (Yervoy)

Antibody blocking CTLA-4 inactivating lymphocytes

CTLA-4 discovered in UC Berkley in the mid 1990th. No pharm company was interested in “too new” idea.

1998 Berkley licenses it to NeXstar Pharmaceuticals

1999 NeXstar Pharmaceuticals sublicenses it to Medarex for $8.5M

2009 Medarex acquired by Bristol-Myers for $2.4B based on its anti-CTLA-4 antibody product (no clinical trial results yet)

Market Comparables Bevacizumab (Avastin)

Monoclonal antibody blocking growth of blood vessels in

tumors (Genentech ).

Used for colon, breast and lung cancer.

$4,000-9,000/moth/patient

Insurance paid $100,000/year per patient

2007 sales:

$2.3B USA

$3.5B worldwide

Prolongs life for 4.7 month in average

Competition

Developers of chemical anti-cancer drugs Developers of biological anti-cancer drugs Anti-cancer vaccines Other companies working on oncolytic viruses (Israel, Japan, USA, EU)

“Cancer” is a composite name for multiple diseases (different mechanisms withsimilar clinical manifestations). Thus, there are several applications for ourapproach with no real competition but with compelling market need.

Major pharmaceutical companies run out of patent protection on their anti-cancerdrugs. Thus, demand for new anti-cancer medicine greatly exceeds supply.

Different treatments are typically used in combination, thus they do notcompete but complement each other

Combining The Best Of Both Worlds

It is the most feasible to develop future models of the product in the US in active collaboration with institutions in EU and Former USSR

It is the most feasible to conduct pre-clinical and clinical testing of the existing product in the Former USSR

Cure Lab has developed an international network allowing to conduct each part of the project in the country it is the most feasible, minimizing expanses and need for capital while maximizing results
