Lucitanib Overview

• Strong rationale to study lucitanib in combinations with checkpoint inhibitors

– Recent data for lenvatinib which inhibits the same three pathways as lucitanib – when

combined with the PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab – showed encouraging results and

rationale for development of lucitanib in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor

– Global strategic clinical collaboration between Eisai and Merck resulting in jointly initiated

new clinical studies evaluating the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to support

13 potential indications including a basket trial

– Preclinical data for lucitanib in combination with PD-1 inhibitor demonstrated enhanced anti-

tumor activity compared to that of single agents

• Lucitanib added to Clovis’ clinical collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb; combination

study with Opdivo in advanced gynecologic cancers and other solid tumors now

enrolling

• Based on encouraging preclinical and clinical data of VEGF and PARP inhibitors in

combination, a study of lucitanib in combination with Rubraca in advanced ovarian

cancer now enrolling

• Clovis owns global rights (excluding China) to lucitanib

• Composition of matter expires 2030 in the U.S. and 2028 in Europe; with up to five

years patent term extension available

Lucitanib is an Oral Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor

• Lucitanib is an investigational, oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of

vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3 (VEGFR1-3), platelet derived growth

factor receptors (PDGFR) α/β and fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-3 (FGFR1-3)

Lucitanib is a Potent and Selective Kinase Inhibitor

• Heatmap shows percent kinase inhibition by the indicated compounds

profiled against 256 kinases

– Lucitanib, lenvatinib, and cediranib inhibit the activity of multiple tyrosine

kinases

– Lenvatinib and cediranib have activity against additional kinases not targeted

by lucitanib

– Data highlight the highly selective inhibition profile of lucitanib

Source: 1 Clovis internal data: kinase activity profiling by HotSpot assay was performed at Reaction

Biology using 0.5 µM of each compound, with 10 µM ATP, 2018.

Lucitanib Clinical Development History

• Monotherapy development by Clovis and Servier focused on activity

assessment in FGFR driven tumors (predominantly breast and lung cancers)

– Monotherapy data in breast and lung cancers were insufficient to support

continued development

• Recommended monotherapy dose was 10 mg/day1

– Most patients (421/424) in safety database treated at or above recommended dose

– Safety profile consistent with potent VEGF pathway inhibition

Lucitanib Development Rationale Today

• Strong rationale to study lucitanib in combinations with checkpoint and PARP

inhibitors

– The combination of inhibiting angiogenic pathways and blocking an immune

checkpoint has shown encouraging results in preclinical and clinical studies,

providing a rationale for development of lucitanib in combination with a PD-1

inhibitor

– Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate a link between PARP inhibition and

suppression of angiogenesis; these results provide a rationale for development of

lucitanib in combination with a PARP inhibitor

Targeting Angiogenesis and Immune Checkpoint Pathways

May Have a Synergistic Effect on Antitumor Activity

• VEGF and other angiogenic factors promote the formation of new blood

vessels (angiogenesis), which is often exploited by tumors to stimulate tumor

growth and metastasis1

• Angiogenesis has been shown to be immunosuppressive within the tumor

microenvironment, dampening anti-tumor immune responses1

– Immune effects of angiogenesis include modulation of T-cell infiltration into the

tumor, inhibition of dendritic cell maturation, and the modulation of cell adhesion

molecules and immune cell populations

• Inhibition of angiogenesis by small molecule RTK inhibitors or monoclonal

antibodies may reverse immunosupression1

• These data suggest the clinical activity of PD-(L)1 inhibitors may be enhanced

through the inhibition of angiogenesis by lucitanib

Lucitanib and Rucaparib Combination: Preclinical and Clinical Data

Support Potential Activity of Combining an Anti-angiogenic with

PARP Inhibitor

• There is a link between PARP inhibition and suppression of angiogenesis -

chronic hypoxia induces down-regulation of BRCA1 and RAD51 and decreases

homologous recombination in cancer cells1

• The oral VEGFR inhibitor cediranib has been investigated in combination with

olaparib in recurrent ovarian cancer2

– PFS was 17.7 months for cediranib + olaparib arm versus 9.0 months for the

single-agent olaparib arm (HR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.23–0.76; p = 0.005)

– Increased activity of cediranib + olaparib versus olaparib alone in the subgroup of

patients with wild-type or unknown BRCA status, with an improvement in median

PFS from 5.7 to 16.5 months (HR = 0.32, p = 0.008) and ORR from 32% to 76%

(p = 0.006)

– Potential Activity of Combining an Anti-angiogenic with PARP Inhibitor

Lucitanib and Rucaparib Combination More Active Than

Monotherapy in Preclinical Ovarian Tumor Model

• Combination of lucitanib plus rucaparib showed more durable suppression of

tumor growth in BRCA1mut BrKras syngeneic murine model, than either

lucitanib or rucaparib as a single agent

• Lucitanib and rucaparib demonstrated similar anti-tumor activity to cediranib

and rucaparib2
