ImmunoCellular Therapeutics Developing treatments to stimulate the ability of the immune system to fight cancer Cancer immunotherapy we believe to be the wave of the future – TODAY Development-stage company committed to developing immunotherapeutic solutions for intractable cancers, extending the lives of cancer patients, and providing hope for a potential cure IMUC’s Stem-to-T-Cell program is a novel approach that enables the patient’s immune system to produce targeted killer T cells Multiple value driving milestones next expected in the 12-18 months Need for immunotherapy for cancer: Surgery may not remove every cancer cell Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may damage normal tissue Target all rapidly dividing cells leading to significant toxicity Cancer can recur after apparently successful treatment Cancer stem cells Goal of creating “plug & play” scenario – menu of solutions for patient’s specific tumor


Slide 4

Immunotherapy has several potential advantages over traditional approaches Harnesses the power of each patient’s immune system Tumor-specific Longer-lasting Advantageous safety profile IMUC focus on solid tumors Personalized Cancer Immunotherapy Potential to address severe unmet medical needs


Slide 5

Potential Advantages of Stem-to-T-Cell Approach Unlike CAR-T therapy, T cells will be “produced” by the treated HSCs that are reintroduced to the patient Slower production and subsequent release of targeted CD8+ T cells should be less toxic to the patient More measured killing can be cleaned up by the patient without triggering a cytokine release syndrome Because the treated HSCs will return to the bone marrow, we believe there should be a level of surveillance against recurrence of the tumor Autologous nature of the product we believe will prevent GVHD Careful selection of TCRs will ensure only the tumor is targeted Expect be able to address many tumor types


Slide 6

Three Clinical-Stage Programs ImmunoCellular actively looking to partner, sell or license all three programs Dendritic cell-based research: ICT-107 Phase 3 ready for glioblastoma ICT-121 Phase 1 completed for recurrent glioblastoma (warrants continued testing) ICT-140 Phase 1/2 ready for ovarian cancer ImmunoCellular has the advantage of two personalized immunotherapeutic approaches to drive T cell killing of cancer cells


Slide 7

ImmunoCellular Therapeutics Stem-to-T-Cell Program Early-stage research program, using IP from Dr. David Baltimore’s lab, a Nobel laureate of Caltech, testing effects of transfecting a selected T cell receptor into a patient’s hematopoietic stem cells These transfected HSCs would then be reintroduced to the patient and they would return to the bone marrow Goal is to develop a TCR library to allow a “plug and play” scenario where a patient’s specific tumor can be addressed Improve cancer treatment by stimulating patients’ immune systems to generate a long-term population of cytotoxic T cells directed against the tumor, resulting in a potentially curative therapy for many types of cancers


Slide 8

Hematopoietic Stem Cells Can produce all blood cell types and other stem cells Reside in bone marrow Can be mobilized into circulation with G-CSF Can be isolated and purified Can be genetically modified to produce target-specific killer T cells


Slide 9

Stem-to-T-Cell Program: Novel Technology In-Licensed from David Baltimore’s Lab at Caltech HSC CD8+ T Cell Tumor TCR Lentivirus Collect Blood from Patient Isolate Hematopoietic Stem Cells Package TCR DNA into Lentivirus Transfect Lentivirus w/TCR Gene into HSC Transfected HSC Isolate TCR Sequence TCR Expand Administer to Patient Packaged Lentivirus Cytotoxic T Cells

Slide 15

Developing immunotherapeutic solutions for intractable cancers, extend the lives of cancer patients, and provide hope for a potential cure IMUC’s Stem-to-T-Cell approach is potentially “game changing” treatment for cancer Harnesses the patient’s immune system in manufacturing specific cytotoxic T cells to destroy cancer cells Provide long-term immuno-surveillance Immuno-oncology is fast evolving field Multiple approaches using immunotherapy being evaluated in clinical trials Potential for combination therapies Immunotherapy has the potential to change cancer treatment Specificity in targeting tumor cells Enhanced patient safety compared to current standard of care Opportunities for partnering with pharma and big biotech seeking novel cancer immunotherapy assets IMUC represents opportunity for value creation for investors today.
