Advaxis Overview • Advaxis is headquartered in Princeton, NJ • Dr. Yvonne Paterson developed technology at the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1990s and licensed exclusively to Advaxis in 2002 • Advaxis proprietary platform: 2 key elements: – Live attenuated Listeria monocytogenes ( Lm ): • Attenuation is 10,000 to 100,000 times to enhance safety • Stimulates a balanced and comprehensive cellular immune response to Lm • PAMP driven response drives a more complex immune reaction • Lm is further engineered to manufacture and secrete antigen/t - LLO fusions – Antigen proteins fused to truncated LLO (tLLO) and manufactured/secreted by Lm • tLLO drives its own PAMP response • Overcomes tumor protection mechanisms inside the tumor - NOT systemically • Current constructs target HPV - associated cancers and dysplasia, prostate cancer, HER2 over expressing cancers, with several other antigens in R&D 5
