A New Class of Targeted Cancer Therapeutics
Alpha-pharmaceuticals
– Potent tumor cell killing
– No known resistance
– Highly localized activity of alpha emission
– Minimal damage to surrounding normal tissue
Alpharadin: Success in phase III
– Overall survival increased by 44%
– Significant SRE benefits, incl. spinal cord compression
– Well tolerated
– Filing target mid 2012 USA and EU
– Expanded Access Program initiated in the USA
Thorium TTCs*: Preclinical progress
Radium-223 (Alpharadin) Naturally targets bone metastases
First in new class of Alpha-pharmaceuticals
Thorium-227 (TTCs) Conjugated to tumor-targeting molecules Potential for multiple cancer indications
Alpharadin injection every 4 weeks
* Targeted Thorium Conjugates
4 1 CRPC – Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer * Refs: Mundy, Nat Rev Cancer (2002) 2:584-593; NEJM editorial May 2011; Halabi, Journal of Clinical Oncology (2003) 21: 1232-1237
Develop in up to 90% of CRPC1 and up to 80% of breast cancer patients
Bone metastases represent a significant unmet medical need:
– Ultimately lead to patient death in CRPC*
– Cause pathological fractures and spinal cord compression
– Patients will continue to progress, despite earlier-stage therapies
– No survival benefit from current bone-targeted agents
Bone Metastases: A Significant Unmet Medical Need

Alpharadin (radium-223 in solution) acts as a calcium mimic
– Naturally targets new bone growth in and around bone metastases
Targets new bone in metastases Highly localized tumor cell killing
Bone marrow Tumor
cells
Osteoclast
Osteoblast
Newly formed
bone
Radium-223 deposition
Alpha particle radiation
Alpha particles induce double-strand DNA breaks in adjacent tumor cells
– Short penetration of alpha emitters (2-10 cell diameters) means highly localized tumor cell killing & minimal damage to surrounding normal tissue
Alpharadin is cleared rapidly into small intestine
Alpharadin: Highly Targeted to Bone Metastases
Alpharadin is a new class Alpha-pharmaceutical
6
• Ready to use vials
• Long shelf life (4 wks)
• Easy to handle
• Total 6 i.v. injections
• One injection every 4 weeks
• Out-patient treatment
Alpharadin: Easy and Convenient to Administer

Successful Phase III Data from 2011 EMCC1
In CRPC patients with bone metastases:
Alpharadin significantly prolonged overall survival
– P value = 0.00185; HR = 0.695; 95% CI, 0.552-0.875
Alpharadin significantly prolonged time to first SRE2
– P value = 0.00046; HR = 0.610; 95% CI, 0.461-0.807
Alpharadin was very well tolerated
Radium-223 [Alpharadin], a novel Alpha-pharmaceutical, may provide a new standard of care for the treatment of
CRPC patients with bone metastases

Increase in median overall survival of 3.6 months
14.9 months Alpharadin vs. 11.3 months placebo
The hazard ratio was unchanged; p-value improved
The updated analysis (n=921) confirmed the overall efficacy results of the pre-planned interim analysis from June 2011
Updated ALSYMPCA Survival Analysis
Further, detailed data will be presented at upcoming medical meetings

Spinal Cord Compression is an Oncological Emergency
Radiation for bone pain
Pathological fracture
Spinal cord compression
Surgery to bone

Improvement in Overall Survival in Symptomatic CRPC patients
– Updated analysis: 3.6 months benefit vs standard of care – Interim analysis: HR 0.695, p = 0.00185
Delay to Skeletal-Related Events
– Significant delay to first SRE by 5.1 months – First ever evidence of delay to Spinal Cord Compression
Demonstrable effect on Physician-Monitored Biomarkers
– Significant delay to time to Total ALP and PSA progression – Significant improvement in ALP reduction and ALP normalization
Well tolerated side-effect profile; reduction in pain
– Fewer AEs, SAEs, Grade 3/4 AEs and discontinuations than placebo – BC1-03 trial revealed significant (up to 71%) reduction in pain
Elegant, Mechanistic and Predictable mode of action
– Naturally targets bone metastatic micro-environment – Potential combination or sequence with systemic therapies
