Patients with Advanced Cancers Continue to Search for Improved Survival

• Surgery, radiation and cytotoxic/targeted therapies have been the mainstay of treatment in most advanced cancers1

• 5-year survival, however, remains poor for many patients with advanced solid tumors2

– For several common cancers, 5-year survival rates continue to remain below 20% for patients with metastatic disease2

– 5-year survival rates for patients with metastatic lung, colorectal, kidney and renal pelvis cancers, and melanoma are 3.9%, 12.5%, 12.3% and 16.0%, respectively2

• There is a need for new therapeutic(s) and modalities for advanced cancer that offer improvements in quality, long-term survival3

Patients with Advanced Cancers Continue to Search for Improved Survival

• Surgery, radiation and cytotoxic/targeted therapies have been the mainstay of treatment in most advanced cancers1

• Global mortality, however, remains high for many patients with advanced solid tumors2

• There is a need for new therapeutic(s) and modalities for advanced cancer that offer improvements in quality, long-term survival3

The Immune System Works to Protect Against Cancer

• The immune system surveys for and distinguishes tumor cells from normal tissue1

• Tumor cells recognized by the immune system as abnormal results in an immune response which, in most situations, destroys or controls the tumor2,3

• Multiple mechanisms participate in tumor recognition and control the response of the immune system to the tumor2

• Cancer cells can evade the immune system by escaping these pathways1,4

The Science of Immuno-Oncology Is Driving the Development of Novel Immunotherapies That Directly Modulate the Immune System

Immune Hallmarks of Cancer1

• Ability to evade immunerecognition

• Ability to thrive in a chronically inflamed microenvironment

• Ability to suppress immune activity

• Increased understanding of how cancer evades the immune system is the foundation forImmuno-Oncology (I-O)2

• I-O incorporates the understanding of the mechanisms tumors use to escape the immune system and how these can be modulated to promote tumor destruction and/or growth3-4

• The focus in I-O is on understanding the pathways and mechanisms involved in tumor immune evasion and bringing therapies forward for investigation5,6

Immuno-Oncology Is an Emerging Therapeutic Modality1

• Immuno-Oncology treatment is different from other treatment modalities because it uses the natural capability of the patient’s own immune system to fight cancer2

• Immuno-Oncology treatment works with the body’s immune system to fight cancer rather than working directly on the tumor2

Durable Long-term Survival Has Been Demonstrated In Melanoma: An I-O TherapyYERVOY (ipilimumab), an I-O therapy that targets the immune system, is the first and only mMeltherapy proven in a phase 3 study to deliver a durable long-term survival benefit at 1 & 2 years in previously treated patients, with some alive up to 4.5 years1,2

• In clinical trials, most adverse events associated with YERVOY were immune related and were managed using YERVOY-specific treatment guidelines3

• The following are the most frequently reported adverse events associated with YERVOY (≥10%, all grades) in a clinical study with YERVOY monotherapy during the induction phase: diarrhea (27%), rash (26%), pruritus (26%), fatigue (24%), nausea (23%), vomiting (12%), decreased appetite (11%), abdominal pain (11%)3
