3.0 REPORT OF THE CEO

3.1 MARCH REPORT

A copy of the March CEO Report was pre-circulated and appended to the agenda portfolio for information.

Dr. McLellan referenced the report from the Sunnybrook Research Institute on the Cancer Ablation Therapy Program: A Canadian Health Care Success Story . Five years ago, SRI and the Odette Cancer Centre (OCC) began to plan establishing a platform for cancer management aimed at tackling early­stage cancers by destroying or ablating tumours, all without traditional surgery. Scientists at SRI and radiation oncologists at OCC dreamed up a trio of new radiation delivery technologies. These technologies formed the nexus of the Cancer Ablation Therapy (CAT) program. The strategy was to integrate MRI and advanced computed tomography imaging modalities capable of high-level tumour visualization to enable ablation.

Dr. McLellan commented that in 2016, the CAT program realized the first goal, to install a 1.ST MRI into a lead-lined and anesthesia-capable brachytherapy suite, the world's first. As a result of this achievement, clinicians will be able to implant radiation-delivering catheters and can target, treat and observe tumour destruction. The first integrated treatment will take place in 2017.

The CAT program realized the second goal with the installation of the Gamma Knife and in 2017, the Icon-imaging component will be installed. Once complete, it will allow patients to have precise brain radiation therapy without a surgical frame fixed to their head. The third component of the CAT program is the MR-Linac. Sunnybrook will be the first site in Canada and one of only seven other collaborators in the world with this technology.

Dr. McLellan reported that the CAT program is a coordinated effort made possible by many sources of funding, including the Sunnybrook Foundation, the government of Ontario, peer-reviewed grants as well as investment from SRI, the OCC and Sunnybrook.

In closing, Dr. McLellan commented that he would be pleased to answer questions on any matters arising out of his written report.

The Chair thanked Dr. McLellan for his report and opened the floor for discussion.

BOARD BUSINESS

4.0 EDUCATIONALPRESENTATION

The Chair called on Dr. Julius, VP Research to introduce the guest speakers, Dr. Isabelle Aubert and Dr. Nir Lipsman.

Dr. Aubert is a Senior Scientist, Biological Sciences, Hurvitz Brain Sciences Research Program at the Sunnybrook Research Institute and Professor, Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. A copy of her slide presentation "Ultrasound Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease" was pre-circulated and appended to the agenda portfolio for information.

Dr. Nir Lipsman is a Neurosurgeon at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, University of Toronto. He is also a Scientist in the Physical Sciences Platform, Hurvitz Brain Sciences Research Program at the Sunnybrook Research Institute. A copy of his slide presentation entitled "Focused Ultrasound: The Future of Non-Invasive Brain Therapy and Repair" was pre-circulated and appended to the agenda portfolio for information.

Dr. Aubert, referencing her slide deck, commented that Alzheimer's is a complex disease and there is no cure. Treatments are being tested to deliver therapeutic molecules across the blood-brain barrier.

Dr. Aubert commented that she and her team are currently in phase 4 of a clinical trial to deliver antibodies through focused ultrasound to relevant brain regions where they are needed. Focused ultrasound increases the amount of therapeutics delivered by approximately 5 times. It reduces pathology from 20 to 60% with just 1 low dose of antibodies and repeated treatments are possible and efficient. In closing, Dr. Aubert commented that ultrasound significantly increases treatment efficacy.

Dr. Lipsman commented that brain diseases are a major cause of human disability and death. They are expected to increase dramatically in the next two decades and the global cost of Alzheimer's will reach approximately $1 Trillion by 2018. There is an urgent need to develop safe and effective treatments. Dr. Lipsman presented an overview of the current challenges for brain therapies. He also commented that the blood brain barrier is an obstacle for treatments reaching their targets. The Sunnybrook Centre of Excellence in MRI Focused Ultrasound is a globally unique centre at Sunnybrook with its technical and clinical expertise, scientific track record and hospital, industry and public support.

Dr. Lipsman reported that non-invasive brain surgery for tremors can now be done and is a global first in human patients. Opening the Blood Brain Barrier is also a global first in human patients. Dr. Lipsman provided an overview of various diseases where the Blood Brain Barrier is a major obstacle and highlighted global firsts at Sunnybrook.

In closing, Dr. Lipsman commented that the future of Focused Ultrasound (FUS) at Sunnybrook leads to the following:

• Inventing the Future of Non-invasive Brain Therapy and Repair; • 'Moving the dial' on humanity's most urgent and challenging diseases; • Phase I (First-in-human) to Phase III (Standard-of-care) studies; and • A versatile, scalable, disruptive and powerful technology.

The Chair thanked Drs. Aubert and Lipsman for their presentation and opened the floor for questions.
