Anti-EGFR/HGF mAb2 Rationale
• EGFR and cMET pathways validated cancer drivers
• EGFR-specific Fcabs antagonise the receptor through blocking of ligand binding
• Anti-HGF mAb captures and sequesters HGF
• Rationale for potential synergy– Improved efficacy through simultaneous
antagonism of single-agent escape pathways– Circumvention of resistance from cross-talk
between the two pathways– Reduced toxicity through tissue targeting

In vitro Characterisation of anti-EGFR Fcab Leads
• Lead Fcabs identified– Sub-nM to single-digit nM binding to human
and mouse EGFR– Block EGF and TGFα binding to EGFR– Bind FcγRIIIA and induces ADCC activity– Good SEC profiles and purification yields with
no sequence liabilities– Functional in anti-proliferation assays, i.e.
inhibit tumour growth

Summary of in vitro and in vivo Data in NSCLC
• In vitro Studies in Targeted NSCLC Cell Lines– Anti-EGFR/HGF mAb2 inhibits EGF- and HGF-induced cell proliferation in NCI-H596 cells– Anti-EGFR/HGF mAb2, but not single agents or combination, inhibits HGF induced cell proliferation in
cells harbouring EGFR activating mutations
• In vivo Studies in NCI-H596 NSCLC model in transgenic SCID mice expressing human HGF– Anti-EGFR/HGF mAb2 and combination treatment more potent than single agents– Complete tumour regression only observed in mAb2 treatment– Animals showed more severe skin toxicity following anti-EGFR Fcab and combination treatments than
in mAb2 treated mice

Decreased Skin Toxicity Observed with mAb2 Compared with Monotherapy
• In NSCLC model– More severe skin toxicity from EGFR single-agent and combination treatments than mAb2-treated
mice
• In lung cancer LL2.OVA model– Reduced skin toxicity also observed with anti-EGFR/CTLA-4 mAb2

FS101: Summary
• FS101 provides significant opportunity for differentiation due to novel biology – Fcab leads with high affinity and selective binding identified and characterised– Anti-EGFR/HGF mAb2 successfully generated and initial characterisation completed
• Encouraging in vitro and in vivo data in glioblastoma and NSCLC• Evidence for bispecific synergy
