BriaVax™ (SV-BR-1-GM)

  • Breast cancer cell line
  • Allogeneic whole-cell vaccine secreting GM-CSF (“GVAX”).
  • Scalable production - grows as cancer cell line in RPMI + 10% FBS.
  • Irradiation prior to injection to prevent replication.
  • Used in combination with cyclophosphamide, and post-treatment with

interferon-α.

  • Expected Result: Boosting the patient’s overall immune response to the

tumor cells.

Target Population

  • 2nd line use for late stage breast cancer.
  • Potential use for early stage cancers sharing antigen(s) of vaccine cells.
  • Potential use for non-breast cancers sharing antigen(s) of vaccine cells.
  • Maintenance therapy for duration of disease

BriaVaxTM is a proprietary breast cancer cell vaccine expressing GM-CSF , Impressive safety and efficacy data in a preliminary Phase I clinical trial Planning Phase I/IIa testing of BriaVaxTM as 2nd line treatment for metastatic breast cancer.

BriaVaxTM Development Story

SLIDE 6

First Phase I:

  • Used unmodified cell line + GM-CSF + cyclophosphamide
  • N = 14 late stage, treatment-refractory breast cancer patients
  • No significant adverse events, well tolerated
  • Median Overall Survival = 12.1 months

Second Phase I:

  • Used GM-CSF-engineered cell line + cyclophosphamide + interferon-α
  • N = 4 late stage, treatment-refractory (3 breast cancer, and 1 ovarian cancer) patients
  • No significant adverse events, well tolerated
  • Median Overall Survival = 35 months
  • One robust responder with >90% regression during treatment, subsequent relapse (upon

halting treatment) responded to re-treatment

Hypothetical Mechanism of Action

9

  • Tumor regression in a patient was directly related to rising levels of CD40

Ligand (CD40L), a protein that is expressed on components of the immune system including activated T cells, B cells, platelets, monocytic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, mast cells, and basophils.

  • CD40L is known as one of the strongest stimulants of the immune system

resulting in dendritic cell maturation, and rising serum levels of CD4+, CD8+, and NK cells, i.e., immune cells known for their anti-tumor activities.

Hypothetical Mechanism of Action: CTA Analysis

  • Cancer Testis Antigens (CTAs): A class of cancer tissue specific antigens
  • PRAME: The CTA expressed in some breast cancers. The PRAME is also expressed in

BriaVax™.

  • BriaVax™ injection may activate the patient T cells by PRAME recognition to cause

tumor destruction.

Hypothetical Mechanism of Action: HLA Analysis

  • BriaVax™ caused a significant tumor shrinkage in one patient (Subject A002) - even at

metastatic sites (Wiseman and Kharazi, Breast J 2006).

  • HLA analysis of BriaVax™ and peripheral blood lymphocytes from the 4 patients

showed that the special responder (subject A002) had the same Major Histocompatibility Complexes (MHCs) class I (HLA-A) and class II (HLA-DRB3) alleles as BriaVax™. This double-match may explain BriaVax™ ‘s strong tumor destruction activities in that subject.

Hypothetical Mechanism of Action of BriaVaxTM

13

  • BriaVax™ expresses several genes known for their roles in immune cells,

including HLA-A and HLA-DRB3.

  • BriaVax™ may do one or few of the following:
  • A. Directly act as antigen-presenting cells (APCs)
  • B. Cross-Presentation: Dendritic cells may take up degraded BriaVax™ and

present BriaVax™ antigens on their own MHCs to the patients T cells

  • C. Cross-Dressing: Transfer BriaVax™ antigens displayed on MHCs/HLAs to

dendritic cells

Discovery of Gene Signature of BriaVaxTM – Implications

14

  • BriaCell discovered a pair of biomarkers (HLA alleles) present in the top-

responder and BriaVaxTM but not in the 3 other clinical trial subjects

  • Implications:

i. It improves our understanding of how the vaccine works, thus improving the likelihood of clinical success, and may accelerate the clinical development of BriaVaxTM. ii. We plan to develop diagnostic tests to identify the top-responder (the patients for which the vaccine would work best) subgroup of patients.

  • We plan to further validate our discovery using the patients data in the

upcoming Phase I/IIa study

IND Cleared by FDA in Nov 2015:

  • Up to 24 stage-IV breast cancer patients
  • Primary objective: Safety & tumor response
  • Designed to amend the trial to evaluate:
  • Extending the dosing schedule (not limited

to 6 vaccine injections)

  • Use in combination with other treatments
  • Application to earlier stage, more

favorable to breast cancer patients

  • Application to other tumors

  • Working closely with Cancer Insight, a CRO specializing in cancer immunotherapy,

to enroll the first 9 patients.

  • Analysis of blood samples from the first few patients in the upcoming Phase I/IIa

clinical trial to further address the hypothesis that previously identified biomarkers indeed correlates with clinical efficacy.

  • Follow up treatments with the patients (the treatment cycle may be extended in

some patients).

  • Discussing combination studies with potential partners including big pharma
