Forward Looking Statements
2
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from historical results or
from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding: the therapeutic potential of Infinity’s Hedgehog pathway, Hsp90, PI3K
and FAAH inhibitors; the potential of IPI-926 and Hedgehog pathway inhibition in addressing chondrosarcoma, pancreatic cancer and
myelofibrosis; the completion of enrollment in the Phase 2 trial of IPI-926 in pancreatic cancer by the end of 2011; the initiation a
Phase 2 trial of IPI-926 in myelofibrosis in the third quarter of 2011; the potential of combination therapy based on retaspimycin HCl in
addressing non-small cell lung cancer; the potential expansion of the Phase 2 trial of retaspimycin HCl in combination with docetaxel;
the commencement of Phase 1 clinical development of IPI-145 in the second half of 2011 and Phase 2 development of IPI-940 in pain
by Purdue; 2011 financial guidance (including total revenues, operating cash burn, and year-end cash and investments balance), and
the expectation that Infinity will have capital to support its current operating plan into 2014.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to
differ materially from the company's current expectations. For example, there can be no guarantee that Infinity’s strategic alliance with
Purdue/Mundipharma will continue for its expected term or that these entities will fund Infinity’s programs as agreed, or that any
product candidate Infinity is developing will successfully complete necessary preclinical and clinical development phases. Further,
there can be no guarantee that any positive developments in Infinity’s product portfolio will result in stock price appreciation. Infinity’s
expectations could also be affected by risks and uncertainties relating to: results of clinical trials and preclinical studies, including
subsequent analysis of existing data and new data received from ongoing and future studies; the content and timing of decisions
made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory authorities, investigational review boards at clinical trial sites,
and publication review bodies; Infinity's ability to enroll patients in its clinical trials; unplanned cash requirements and expenditures,
including in connection with business development activities; development of agents by Infinity’s competitors for diseases in which
Infinity is currently developing its product candidates; market acceptance of any products Infinity or its partners may successfully
develop; and, Infinity's ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patent and other intellectual property protection for any product
candidate it is developing.
These and other risks which may impact management's expectations are described in greater detail under the caption "Risk Factors"
included in Infinity's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 9, 2011.
Further, any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date hereof, and Infinity expressly
disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Myelofibrosis: Phase 2 Trial
Hedgehog pathway plays a key role in pathogenic fibrosis
Significant need exists for novel treatment options that can directly target the
malignant fibrosis underlying this disease
No current treatments for underlying disease
Agents in development reduce spleen size, address symptoms
Phase 2 trial expected to start in Q3’11

Chondrosarcoma: First and Only
Randomized Trial in this Patient Population
Significant unmet need
Chondrosarcoma is highly resistant to chemotherapy
and radiotherapy
Therapeutic standard is surgery
No effective treatments and no established standard of care for
patients with metastatic or locally advanced, inoperable disease
14
Preclinical data suggests inhibiting the Hedgehog pathway
reduces tumor volume and leads to calcification
IPI-926 granted Orphan Drug Designation by FDA and EMA in
this indication


Rigorous Phase 2 Trial Under Way
Global trial at approximately 40 sites
Randomized, double-blind, single-agent, placebo controlled study in
metastatic or locally advanced, inoperable chondrosarcoma
Trial design reviewed with FDA and EMA prior to study
Primary endpoint is progression free survival
Secondary endpoints include time to progression, overall survival, overall

Research conducted in collaboration with Karen Cichowski at Harvard Medical School.


Hypothesis:  In combination, these agents may synergize by promoting ER stress. This
process may be fueled by excessive oxidative stress, caused by Hsp90 dependent ROS
production and mTOR inhibition dependent suppression of antioxidant pathways.

Additional Pipeline Opportunities


IPI-145: Novel PI3K Inhibitor Rapidly
Advancing to the Clinic
29
IPI-145 is a potent, oral inhibitor of PI3K
and
PI3K
PI3K plays a role in hematologic
malignancies and inflammatory conditions
Compelling human proof-of-concept of PI3K
inhibition in heme malignancies
IPI-145 is 10-
to 30-fold more potent inhibitor of
PI3K
than PI3K
inhibitor with reported data
Data suggest inhibition of PI3K
is important,
particularly in inflammation
IPI-145 has shown compelling preclinical activity in
several models of inflammation
Phase 1 development expected to begin in 2H
2011


IPI-940 inhibits FAAH and is designed to potentiate the effect
of anandamide
Constitutively active FAAH degrades anandamide, the body’s natural
source of pain relief
Encouraging data from Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers
Marked FAAH inhibition and increased anandamide levels
No observed dose-limiting toxicities
Purdue and Mundipharma exercised rights for
worldwide development and commercialization
Purdue expected to begin Phase 2 development in pain
IPI-940: Phase 2-Ready FAAH Inhibitor
