5 Refractory CLL: Need for New Therapies CLL is the most common leukemia in adults Long lasting remissions common with first line treatments Nearly all patients relapse and require additional treatments Resistance to fludarabine-based therapies heralds a grim prognosis 1,2,3,4 Few treatment options for fludarabine-refractory disease available 1,2,3,4 1 Keating et al 2002; 2 Moreton et al 2005; 3 Fiegl et al 2006; 4 Tam et al

6 Ofatumumab Non-clinical Findings * ADCC: Antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity CDC: Complement dependent cytotoxicity Human IgG 1 antibody Novel membraneproximal small loop epitope Slow off-rate Induces ADCC* Induces strong and rapid CDC Triggered at low CD20 expression Relatively insensitive to complement regulatory proteins Active against rituximab - resistant cells including CLL 5

9 Discussions with FDA Regarding Approvability of ARZERRA in the BLA FDA identified durable objective response rate as an acceptable surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit in a patient population with unmet medical need Overall response rate of 10-20% unlikely to predict clinical benefit Double refractory (DR) patients have unmet medical need Bulky fludarabine refractory (BFR) population should be analyzed separately Studies to confirm clinical benefit should be ongoing at the time of BLA review 8

10 Proposed Indication ARZERRA (ofatumumab) is a human monoclonal antibody against CD20 for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have received prior therapy. Efficacy in patients who have not previously received fludarabine has not been established. 9
