4 GMI-1271: Targeting the Bone Marrow Microenvironment for Treatment of Blood Cancers 4

5 GMI-1271 Program Update Initial Focus on Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Differentiated mechanism of action; first-in-class drug candidate Targets interactions in the bone marrow micro-environment Synergistic in combination with chemotherapy Preclinical proof-of-concept data chosen for multiple oral and poster presentations at ASH have shown: Improvements in survival, as adjunct to chemotherapy, in AML and multiple myeloma Reductions in chemotherapy-associated toxicities (neutropenia and mucositis) AML Phase 1/ 2 trial now underway Phase 1 data showed a higher remission rate than standard therapy among difficult to treat patients Multiple data readouts planned for coming months 5

6 GMI-1271 Phase 1/ 2 Clinical Trial Phase 1 Portion Data Report Data from the Phase 1 portion to be presented June 10 at the European Hematology Association annual meeting in a poster entitled: Results of a Phase 1 study of GMI-1271, a potent E- selectin antagonist in combination with induction chemotherapy in relapse/refractory AML: a novel, welltolerated regimen with a high remission rate Presented by Daniel J.

9 GMI-1271 Disrupts Relationship Between Tumor Cells and Bone Marrow Microenvironment Tumor Cells in Quiescent Niche Tumor Cells in Quiescent Niche E-selectin is expressed on endothelial cells and is constitutively expressed in the bone marrow microvasculature Current Paradigm Chemo E-Selectin Blockade Relapse Tumor Cells Protected in Bone Marrow Microenvironment GMI-1271 Remission + Chemo Tumor Cells Mobilized From Bone Marrow Microenvironment Preclinical data with GMI-1271 Prevents trafficking of tumor cells to the bone marrow Disrupts cell adhesionmediated drug resistance (CAMDR) within bone marrow microenvironment Inhibits activation of cancer survival pathways (e.g. Wnt) Protects normal HSCs by enhancing quiescence and ability for self-renewal Protects against chemotherapy induced mucositis 9

10 Ongoing Phase 1/2 Open-Label Study in AML Anticipated Data Read-outs 4Q 2016 study update possible ASH submission Mid-2017 results from Phase 2 portion of study, both arms (relapsed/refractory and newly diagnosed patients) 10

11 GMI-1271: Potential Use in Multiple Myeloma 11

12 Multiple Myeloma Cells Express E-Selectin Ligands E-selectin Glycosyltransferase Genes (high ST3GAL6/low FUCA1) Define a Very High Risk Group Within the Accepted High-Risk MM Population (FISH/ISS) High ST3GAL6/low FUCA1 FISH/ISS others FUCA1 ST3GAL6 OH Sialyl Le a Increasing E-selectin Ligand Increased E-selectin ligand (high ST3GAL6/lowFUCA1 signature) was overrepresented in high risk compared to low risk [39% vs. 13.9%, p=0.01] patients and conferred poor prognosis with a median survival of 10 months vs. 33 months in these Very High Risk patients M. O Dwyer 12

13 GMI-1271 Restores Sensitivity of Bortezomib in an Animal Model Simulating Very High Risk MM Parental MM1s cells (~5% HECA ) Enriched Population MM1s cells (~85% HECA ) Very High Risk Patient Model Percent Survival 50 Percent Survival Rx Days post tumor injection Rx Days post tumor injection Female NOD SCID mice injected iv with 5 x 10 6 human tumor cells (n= 8/group) Rx - 3 days post tumor injection saline GMI-1271 Bortezomib GMI Bortezomib 13

14 Multiple Myeloma Next Steps Clinical protocol in development targeting bortezomib rescue Testing whether GMI-1271 can be used to restore sensitivity to bortezomib Regulatory approval has been received in Ireland Clinical sites being established to conduct small proof of concept study 14

15 GMI-1271: Application in Adoptive Cell Therapy & Immuno-Oncology 15

16 Current Limitations of Adoptive T-cell Therapy Problem Possible solutions Limitations inherent to product quality Need for a better selection of tumor-direct T-cells Poor effector cell-survival capacities Modification of effector cells or APCs by genetic engineering (CARs, TCRs) Use of naïve T-cell populations Modification of effector cells by genetic engineering (expression of co-stimulatory molecules on T cells ) In vivo support of ATCT with cytokines or peptide vaccines Limitations inherent to product activity in vivo Immune evasion strategies/inhibitory effect of regulatory T cells, MDSCs, and checkpoint ligands Cytokine-release syndrome Modification of effector cells or APCs by genetic engineering (induce resistance to inhibitory cytokines) Limitations inherent to production Personalized ATCT generation Limited GMP standardization Production costs Centralization by contract cell-producing/banking biotechs Creation of ATCT networks Centralize production of specific ATCT Bone Marrow Transplantation (2012) 47,

17 Enhanced Responses with Primitive T-Cells Strongly Supported in the Literature Using Adoptive T-Cell Therapy Increased Proliferative Capacity, Survival and Antitumor Activity of T SCM cells 1 1 Gattinoni et al., Nat Med Sep 18; 17(10):

18 GlycoMimetics Primitive T-Cell Enriching Strategy Using GMI-1271 ASH GMI-1271 significantly improves the in vivo reconstitution potential and regenerative properties of CD8+ T-cells from the donor blood allowing a valuable source of desired T-cells for use in adoptive immunotherapy and T-cell engineering 18

19 Rationale and Current Status E-selectin acts as a gatekeeper driving activation and differentiation of cells from the bone marrow microenvironment Short-term treatment with GMI-1271 can selectively block this gatekeeper to significantly skew the mobilization of primitive T-cells & HSCs with enhanced stem-like qualities Incorporating GMI-1271 into mobilization and harvest regimen may serve as a simple approach for boosting the therapeutic potential of adoptive cell approaches Pilot testing in humans now underway 19

20 Rivipansel (GMI-1070) for Sickle Cell Crisis 20

21 Rivipansel Value Proposition Significant unmet medical need with quantifiable clinical and healtheconomic endpoints Defined regulatory path to approval in US agreed under Special Protocol Assessment with FDA Sickle Cell Anemia Healthcare Utilization for VOC Outpatient Treatment in ER & Clinic Settings (~140,000 Events/Yr 3 ) Initial US Approval Inpatient Hospitalizations (80-100,000 Events/Yr 1,2 ) Attractive commercial positioning with opportunity for substantial market expansion On-demand approach avoids historical noncompliance challenges with chronic, prophylactic therapy Longer term potential to treat VOC earlier in the ER/clinic setting (1) Hassell KL.
