1 Phase 2 Study of NKTR-12 in Women with Platinum-Resistant/ Refractory Ovarian Cancer Ignace Vergote John Micha Charles Pippitt Ignace Vergote, John Micha, Charles Pippitt, Gautam Rao, Daniel Spitz, Nicholas Reed, Graham Dark, Agustin Garcia, Daniel Maslyar, Gordon Rustin

2 Disclosure None of the authors have any commercial relationships to disclose in relationship to this study except D. Maslyar who was employed by Nektar Therapeutics This study was supported by funding from Nektar Therapeutics

3 Ovarian Cancer Treatment Algorithm Ovarian Cancer 1st-line therapy Carboplatin/paclitaxel iv Platinum-sensitive (relapse > 12 mo) Platinum partially - sensitive (relapse 6-12 mo) Platinum-resistant / refractory (relapse < 6 mo / progression during) Evaluate surgery (prim or IDS) Re-challenge: Platinum- based combination chemotherapy PLD/carbo, gemcitabine/carbo, paclitaxel/carbo, PLD (MITO-8/ENGOT-ov1) trabectedin/pld PLD, topotecan, Wkly carbo/paclitaxel Experimental drugs Vergote I, 29, adapted from the NICE Guidelines

4 Analysis of GINECO Studies Therapy-Free Interval and Efficacy Survival Response (days) Rate (%) Refractory/ Resistant Overall Survival Response Rate PFS -3/Pr >18 Therapy-Free Interval, months Pujade-Lauraine E, et al. Proc Am Soc Clin Oncol. 22;21: Abstract 829.

5 NKTR-12: Topoisomerase I inhibitor (irinotecan)-polymer conjugate Irinotecan has high C-max 1 Plasma SN-38 Conc (n ng/ml) 1 No exposure of drug to tumor cells SN-38 from irinotecan Time (weeks)

6 NKTR-12: Topoisomerase I inhibitor (irinotecan)-polymer conjugate NKTR-12 extends half-life of active metabolite to ~5 days (normally ~2 days) Continuous long-term exposure with markedly reduced peak concentration Plasma SN-38 Conc (n ng/ml) NKTR-12 blunted C-max Continuous exposure of drug to tumor cells Time (weeks) Phase 1 data demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity in patients with refractory solid tumors (RECIST confirmed response rate 11%) SN-38 from NKTR-12 SN-38 from irinotecan

7 Study 8-PIR-4 Design: Two-Stage Platinum resistant/ refractory ovarian cancer (N=7) NKTR mg/m 2 q14d NKTR mg/m 2 q21d Stage 1 Stage 2 N=2 / N=15 / regimen regimen Primary Endpoint: Objective Response Rate (RECIST evaluation every 6 weeks) Statistical Hypotheses: 2-stage design (with power of.85 for a RR of 2% and with alpha of.3 for RR of 5% Stage 1: Stage 2: If 1 patient responds, that treatment regimen proceeds to the next stage An additional 15 are patients enrolled If 5 patients respond out of 35 patients (Stage 1 and Stage 2 combined), the drug has met the efficacy threshold.

8 Inclusion Criteria and Objectives Key Inclusion / Exclusion Criteria Ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal carcinoma Platinum resistant or refractory disease to any line of platinum-based chemotherapy (platinum-free interval less than 6 months) Evaluable disease by RECIST or CA-125 No prior treatment with topotecan or irinotecan Key Objectives Objective Response Rate (RECIST and GCIG response criteria [i.e., combines RECIST and CA-125]) Safety

21 Conclusions NKTR-12 is well tolerated, especially with the q21d regimen Due to a better toxicity profile, q21d is the preferred regimen for Phase 3 NKTR-12 has a notably higher than expected objective response rate in this group of heavily pretreated platinum resistant / refractory ovarian cancer patients Median 4 th line treatment 57% platinum refractory in q21d regimen Confirmed RECIST/GCIG response rates of 23%/38%, respectively, in the q21d regimen Phase 3 Study planning underway
