[CTLA-4] + [PD-1] first clinically validated I-O combo
*Anti-CTLA-4 antibody AGEN1884 is partnered with Recepta for certain South American territories
• CTLA-4 (low dose) combined with PD-1/PD-L1 is the only validated combination with improved efficacy and safety profile
• Doubling of clinical response - from ~25% to 40% in non-small cell lung cancer(1,2)
• Control of CTLA-4 + PD-1/PD-L1 therapies gives pricing advantage
• Enables novel checkpoint mAbs that are yet to show efficacy in the absence of
CTLA-4

PD-1 has clinical benefit but adding CTLA-4 works better
*Anti-CTLA-4 antibody AGEN1884 is partnered with Recepta for certain South American territories
• CTLA-4 (low dose) combination with PD-1/PD-L1 reduces development risk and expands markets• CTLA-4 and PD-1 combination is already approved in metastatic melanoma
• CTLA-4 and PD-1 combination doubles clinical benefit in 1L NSCLC(1,2)
• CTLA-4 + PD-1/PD-L1 +/- novel CPs has shown compelling data in pre-clinical models

Agenus CTLA-4 and PD-1 antagonists CTLA-4 + PD-1 combination - focal point of next generation of I-O combos
*Anti-CTLA-4 antibody AGEN1884 is partnered with Recepta for certain South American territories
AGEN1884*:
• The only known CTLA-4 Ab in the clinic outside of big pharma (BMS and AZN)
AGEN2034*:
• PD-1 antagonist anticipated to enter clinical development Q1 2017
Agenus - only known company other than BMS with both in clinical stage
* AGEN1884 and AGEN2034 are partnered with Recepta for certain South American Rights

Clinical benefit of combinations
• Validated combinations:
• CTLA-4 + PD-1
• Next generation:
• CTLA-4 + PD-1 + Novel mAbs
• CTLA-4 + PD-1 + Vaccines
• Ipilimumab monotherapy failed in Ph 3(1), BUT, Vaccine + Ipi combination showed benefit; 20% of patients alive at 80 months(2,3)
