1 1 Results of the Phase 3, placebo-controlled trial (SUCCEED) evaluating the mTOR inhibitor ridaforolimus as maintenance therapy in advanced sarcoma patients following clinical benefit from prior standard cytotoxic chemotherapy S. P. Chawla, J. Y. Blay, I. Ray-Coquard, A. Le Cesne, A. P. Staddon, M. M. Milhem, N. Penel, R. F. Riedel, B. Bui Nguyen, L. D. Cranmer, P. Reichardt, E. Bompas, Y. Song, R. M. Lee, J. E. Eid, J. Loewy, F. G. Haluska, P. F. Dodion, G. D. Demetri, on behalf of all SUCCEED investigators

2 2 mTOR signaling dysregulated in multiple sarcomas Ridaforolimus: a rapamycin analog and potent mTOR inhibitor Clinical activity in sarcomas in Phase 1 and 2 studies The PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway regulates cell growth, proliferation and metabolism in sarcoma PI3K 4E-BP1 TSC Ridaforolimus mTOR FKBP PTEN PI3K AKT

3 3 Ridaforolimus: antitumor activity in sarcoma CT PET BaselineDay 5 (53%  ) Day 54 (85%  )

4 4 Ridaforolimus: previous activity demonstrated in sarcomas Route of ridaforolimus Number and diagnosis Clinical benefit rate Rate of PFS @ 6 months Phase 1/2oral147 all tumors (85 sarcomas) 27%23% Phase 2IV212 sarcomas29%23% EORTC historical review of sarcoma database for “active” agents (Glabbeke, European Journal of Cancer 38 (2002) 543–549 14% Clinical benefit rate: CR+PR+SD >4 months

5 5 PD Metastatic sarcoma after 1-3 lines CT, per SOC Ineligible Ridaforolimus Placebo (40 mg QD x 5 per week) SOC watchful waiting IRC CR, PR, SD randomization Sarcoma standard care and the SUCCEED pivotal Phase III trial design

6 6 SUCCEED study endpoints Primary endpoint –Improvement in PFS by independent radiology review Secondary endpoints –Overall survival –Best target lesion response –Cancer-related symptoms –Safety and tolerability

7 7 Pivotal Phase III trial design statistics and key features Statistical design: 650 patients with 90% power to detect 33% improvement in PFS (516 PFS events,  =0.025, one-sided) Stratified for line of therapy, histology, and geography Two interim analyses 711 patients enrolled between Oct ‘07 and Jan ‘10; 702 patients received either ridaforolimus or placebo Largest randomized study ever in the soft tissue and bone sarcoma population

11 11 Consistent progression free survival improvement across multiple subgroup analyses favor rida favor placebo

12 12 SUCCEED: trend in Overall Survival (OS) 386 death events based on data cut-off date 4-30-2011 (6 months after PFS data cut-off date) HR 0.88, p=0.2256 Median OS ridaforolimus: 21.4 months Placebo: 19.2 months

13 13 Tumor response: Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) ≥ 4 months CBR (CR+PR+SD) Ridaforolimus40.6% Placebo28.6% p-Value0.0009

14 14 Exploratory analysis of cancer-related symptoms Questionnaires completed by the patients periodically in 3 categories: pain, cough and shortness of breath Vast majority (>90%) of patients who stayed on therapy were free of severe symptoms in both treatment groups –Small numerical imbalances favoring placebo at some time points Large amount of missing information mainly due to treatment discontinuation –Greater in placebo patients over time Analysis is inconclusive due to large amount of missing information –Following disease progression, no information about cancer-related progression was collected

15 15 SUCCEED: ridaforolimus inhibited tumor growth Waterfall plots Best target lesion response (mean) Ridaforolimus -1.3% Placebo +10.3% (p<0.0001)

16 16 Survival following disease progression was similar for the ridaforolimus and placebo groups Post-progression survival = duration from disease progression to death HR=0.94 (95% CI [0.76, 1.18], p=0.6152) Ridaforolimus Placebo Weeks

19 19 Summary: Ridaforolimus improves disease control to maintain benefit of prior therapy Study met the primary endpoint in PFS improvement (HR 0.72, p=0.0001) Trend toward OS benefit (HR 0.88, p=0.2256) Better tumor growth control No adverse impact on survival following disease progression No major unexpected AEs, and toxicities similar to other mTOR inhibitors
