Atezolizumab Mechanism of Action Humanized mAB inhibits binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 & B7.1

1. Akbari. Mucosal Immunol. 2010; 2. Matsumoto. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2008.

• Inhibiting PD-L1/PD-1 and PD-L1/B7.1 interactions can restore antitumor T-cell activity and enhance T-cell priming

• Atezolizumab leaves the PD-L2/PD-1 interaction intact, maintaining immune homeostasis and potentially preventing autoimmunity

• ~ 5000 patients have received atezolizumab across clinical trials, as of February 2016

• The key safety risks associated with atezolizumab are immune-related events – Events include pneumonitis, hepatitis, colitis, endocrinopathies, and other

immune-related events including meningitis / encephalitis, motor and sensory neuropathy, and pancreatitis

– Immune-related events are generally grade 1 and 2 in nature and manageable with dose interruption and supportive care, including the use of systemic corticosteroids, where appropriate

• The safety profile appears similar between tumor types and suggests independence from the level of PD-L1 expression

• No apparent dose related trends in the incidence of AEs

Pediatric Biomarker Development

• Unselected pediatric population chosen for Phase I to ensure: – We did not prematurely exclude any children who could potentially benefit – We could collect robust data to optimize our biomarker understanding and development

• Planned evaluation of CD8+ T-cell infiltration PD-L1 expression, and antigen-specific T-cell responses in addition to other immune markers

• Biomarker findings will be utilized to guide amendments to the current protocol, and to the design of future studies

Assessment

• First 5 patients enrolled ≥2 years of age

• Minimum of 20 patients

• Early PK and Safety Evaluation

• Will occur when tumor type cohort reaches ~10 patients

• Decision will be made whether or not to continue enrollment in that tumor type based on disease-specific criteria (for most tumor types 2 – 3/10 need to show an objective response)

• Retrospective biomarker analysis

Investigational sites: 24 sites (ITCC, EU, Israel), 10 sites (POETIC, US).

Key Conclusions & Next Steps

21

• Atezolizumab is a humanized, monoclonal antibody which binds to PD-L1 to restore the anti-tumor immunity mediated by T cells

• Atezolizumab is well tolerated and demonstrates clinical efficacy across tumor types & subgroups in adults

• Voluntary pediatric study of atezolizumab is ongoing as part of our iMATRIX platform which matches promising molecules to pediatric patients with high unmet medical needs

- Rigorous and consistent PK, safety and efficacy assessment - Comprehensive biomarker evaluation - Strong collaboration with academic consortium and health

authorities
