1 Development of the HPV 16 / 18 Cervical Cancer Vaccine
James P. Tursi, MD Director – Medical Affairs – N.A Cervical Cancer Vaccines August 3, 2006

2 Overview GSK Biologicals Search for a cervical cancer vaccine
GSK HPV 16/18 candidate vaccine Novel adjuvant system resulting in strong and sustained immune responses Focus on cervical cancer prevention Clinical trial data Efficacy data Immunogenicity data Broad oncogenic protection Current status of the GSK HPV 16/18 candidate vaccine

3 GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals: One of the World’s Leaders in Vaccines
Total market*: $8 billion Merck 19% AP/AP-MSD 26% Wyeth-Ayerst 12% Others 11% GSK 23% Chiron 9% *2003

4 Long History of Innovation
World’s Firsts Varicella Vaccine 1984 Hepatitis A vaccine 1992 Combined Hepatitis A & B 1996 Combined Meningitis ACW135 2003 Rubella 1969 DTaP HBV IPV 2000 1976 Thermostable measles vaccine 1986 Recombinant hepatitis B vaccine 1996 Combined DTPw HBV & Hib 1997 Combined DTaP/Hib & DTaP IPV 2000 Combined Hepatitis A & Typhoid

5 Contributions to World’s Health
In 2004, nearly one and a half billion GSK vaccines distributed Approximately 85% delivered to the developing world Nearly three million doses each day Primary Supplier to International Health Organizations UNICEF WHO PAHO GSK provides vaccines to developing world at affordable cost Introduce new vaccines where most needed, not where most financially advantageous

6 Cervical Cancer – The Scope of the Problem
Every two minutes a woman dies of cervical cancer worldwide 10 women die every day in the U.S. All sexually active women are at risk of oncogenic HPV† Includes women over age 25 HPV-16 / 18 / 45 / 31 are responsible for ~80% of invasive cervical cancers worldwide° Adenocarcinoma of the cervix is increasing despite screening effortsX HPV 16 / 18 / 45 / 31 responsible for 98% of cervical adenocarcinoma † Koutsky 1997 Am J Med 1997; 102(5A): 3-8 °Munoz N et al. Int J Cancer 2004; 111: 278–85. XCastellsagué J Natl Cancer Inst 2006;98:303 – 15

7 Search for a Cervical Cancer Vaccine
Safe Immunogenic Strong immune response against oncogenic HPV Provide high protective levels of antibody Broad protection against cervical cancer Protect women from oncogenic HPV Protect against the most common types Provide long lasting duration of protection Sustained immune response Long term protection Natural infection issues.

Novel GSK Adjuvant System AS04 (Al + MPL®) To enhance immune responses Vaccine composition 20 µg HPV 16 L1 VLP 20 µg HPV 18 L1 VLP Administration schedule – 0, 1, 6 months Focused on cervical cancer prevention Oncogenic HPV Directed to women Continuation of current cervical cancer screening methods 50 µg MPL® 500 µg AlOH3 AS04 Why we chose two types.

10 What is an Adjuvant? From latin ‘adjuvare’: to help
An adjuvant can be an immunostimulant and/or a carrier carrier: a compound that transports the antigen: AlOH3 immunostimulant: a compound that acts directly or indirectly on the immuno competent cells to increase the immune response to a given antigen : MPL® It is designed to increase the specific immune response intensity, quality and breadth

11 Novel Adjuvant: Why AS04 for HPV?
Prevention of HPV infection requires presence of neutralizing antibodies at the site of potential infection (cervix) High serum antibody concentrations that then transudate to the site of the infection AS04 versus traditional aluminum* Higher and more persistent humoral antibody response Higher frequency of memory B cells * Giannini S et al. Vaccine 2006

13 Clinical Experience with AS04 Adjuvant
AS04 used in several vaccines developed by GSK Superiority of immune profile induced by AS04 vs alum formulations 16,000 subjects received ~43,000 doses of AS04 in 40 completed and 4 ongoing studies gD-AS04 (genital HSV vaccine)- Now in large-scale phase III trials including NIH collaboration) FENDrixâ„¢- adjuvanted HBsAg for use in hemodialysis patients; recently approved in EU (2005) Generally well tolerated
