Cancer Compass Advances, Approval & Regulatory Updates CLINICAL AND COMMERCIAL SUCCESS MAKES HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT IN ADCS Pharmaceutical interest in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has surged in recent years, resulting in a wave of new market entrants. Innovations in next-generation ADCs, which employ advanced linker and conjugation technologies, have fueled this renewed enthusiasm. Blockbuster drugs like Gilead's Trodelvy and Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca's Enhertuexemplify the significant commercial potential of ADCs, generating billion-dollar sales in oncology. As a result, ADCs have become a key technology in life sciences, prompting several high-profile deals FDA accepted the BLA of AstraZeneca & Daiichi Sankyo's Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), granted priority review to Daiichi Sankyo and Merck's patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd) in 2024, whereas AbbVie's Telisotuzumab vedotin (ABBV-399) is expected to get its first approval by 2025 Total Value of ADC Deals (USDB) 200 167 150 107 100 47 50 0 2022 2023 2024 (H1) Licensors from China and Korea make up nearly 60% of partnering deals positioning themselves as significant contributors to ADC research and development in an effort to solidify their roles in this lucrative market. Conversely, companies that in-licensed ADCs are primarily based in the US and Europe, accounting for over 55% of the partnership deals that year More than 90% of ADC partnership deals target oncology indications, mainly for treating breast, lung, and ovarian cancers. Additionally, around 70% of these deals involve ADCs or ADC technologies in the discovery or preclinical development stages in 2024 Pfizer's $43B acquisition of Seagen and AbbVie's $10.1B buyout of ImmunoGen are two of the most notable acquisitions involving antibody–drug conjugate Sources- FDA, Clarivate, Biopharma, NJ, Novotech, Iqvia Page 46

Cancer Compass Advances, Approval & Regulatory Updates RADIOLIGAND THERAPIES: NOVEL MODALITY AT THE FOREFRONT OF ONCOLOGY INNOVATION Recent deals highlight the increasing interest in the radioligand therapy (RLT) modality, particularly for alpha-emitting candidates. AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Eli Lilly have all made significant investments to acquire clinical-stage RLT companies, with the highest prices paid for alpha RLT firms like RayzeBio and Fusion Pharmaceuticals. Radioligands can be used for both imaging and treatment RLT in development by isotope Beta-emitting Lu-177 is the primary isotope for radioligand therapies currently in development, accounting for 32% of RLT pipeline assets Other 28% 32% Lu-177 Clinical trials like NCT04104928 are assessing the use of 177Lu-DOTATATE in NSCLC n=121 (Phase 1 to 3) Concurrently, other studies are examining RLTs effectiveness for human EGRF 2-positive breast cancer and colon cancer. These research efforts will open the door for radioligand therapy to be applied to a wide range of solid tumors, greatly increasing its market potential and solidifying its role as a flexible treatment option in oncology 6% I-131 13% 21% Bi-212 Ac-225 Data as of July 2024 RLT in development by isotope Global Sales (USD B) 2.3 Other 22% 39% 41% Prostate n=164 1.6 (Phase 1 to 3) Pancreas 5% 7% NSCLC 0.7 7% Breast 18% NEC 2022 2023 2024F Data as of July 2024 NEC – Neuroendocrine Around 24 studies in 2024 are actively ongoing as compared to 4 studies last year & most of them are for prostate cancer Novartis has the highest RLT in its pipeline (7) followed by Telix & ITM (5) NSCLC: Non- small cell lung cancer, HL: Hodgkin’s lymphoma, MM: multiple myeloma, EGRF: Epidermal Growth Receptor Factor Sources- Iqvia Page 48
Cancer Compass Advances, Approval & Regulatory Updates FUTURE DIRECTION FOR RLTS New ligands with improved specificity and affinity for the target site can reduce toxicity. They can also incorporate stimulus-responsive release systems, such as pH- or redox-sensitive nanoparticle carriers that react to the particular tumor microenvironment 1 New targets: Investigating new receptors to guide RLTs and broaden their use in new tumors, such as gastrin-releasing peptide receptors, chemokine receptor type 4, neurokinin receptor 1, which has been shown to be overexpressed in primary malignant gliomas 2 Combination therapy, which use the synergy of several MoAs, such as upregulating target receptors to boost RLT cellular absorption; increasing the effectiveness of RLTs by blocking DNA repair, such as with PARP or topoisomerase inhibitors; and radio sensitization by blocking other crucial processes 3 Theranostics: Combining therapeutic drugs with radionuclide-based diagnostic imaging to precisely identify patients who will benefit the most, find tumors, customize RLT therapy, and track response 4 NEC – Neuroendocrine Sources- Kintara Page 49
