EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Best-in-class FAK inhibitor in development with near term clinical milestones
Developing a pipeline of small molecule inhibitors of FAK – a validated cancer target
• Lead compound narmafotinib is the best-in-class Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) inhibitor in development
• Promising clinical safety and tolerability positions narmafotinib as the preferred agent to enhance activity of drugs for treatment of pancreatic cancer and other
solid tumours
• Phase 1b trial in pancreatic cancer showed preliminary signs of efficacy with duration on trial significantly improved vs current standard of care (gemcitabine and
Abraxane®)
• Compelling pre-clinical data in ovarian cancer, IPF and other solid tumours
Phase 2a ACCENT clinical trial in pancreatic cancer underway with activity threshold already achieved
• Completed enrolment of first 26 patients and recruitment of remaining 24 patients underway
• Achieved activity threshold of 6 confirmed partial responses (PRs) allowing recruitment of full 50 patients. Drug well tolerated and promising signs of efficacy
• Trial recruitment expected to complete Q1 2025 with topline data expected Q3 2025
Preparing for narmafotinib trial in pancreatic cancer in the US
• Clearance of IND application for clinical study of narmafotinib in combination with FOLFIRINOX (standard-of-care therapy for advanced pancreatic cancer in US)
• Targeting commencement of dose escalation trial in 1H 2025
Orphan Drug and Fast Track Designations granted by US FDA
• Provides 7 years market exclusivity in US
• Receive tax credits for clinical costs and exemptions from certain fees
• Expedited review of documentation
• Eligible for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review Voucher
Capital raising of up to approximately A$13.0m to fund the clinical program
• Undertaking a capital raising of up to approximately $13.0 million via a Placement, Director Placement and Entitlement Offer at an offer price of $0.115 per New Share
• Funds raised will be used to complete the Phase 2a ACCENT trial, US FOLFIRINOX dose escalation study, CMC manufacturing for follow on studies, additional preclinical work and costs of the Offer

ACCENT PANCREATIC TRIAL
Background
FAK activity correlates
with worse outcome
• Fibrosis features within TME,‡ consistent with
activated FAK , correlate with worse patient
outcome
• Patients with reduced FAK activity in tumour have
improved probability of survival
Efficacy with FAK inhibition in
preclinical studies
• Narmafotinib decreases tumour fibrosis
(collagen)
• Narmafotinib treatment improves survival in
disease models
Low levels active FAK = better survival
High levels active FAK = worse survival

and targeted therapies

OVARIAN CANCER OPPORTUNITY
Narmafotinib + SOC* therapy in resistant ovarian cancer
Strong FAK involvement in ovarian cancer
Tumour Burden
• FAK is overexpressed in ovarian cancer
• FAK levels increase post-chemotherapy
• FAK activity drives tumour growth and resistance to therapies
Promising preclinical data with narmafotinib
• Demonstrated activity against ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in
vivo
Significant interest from clinicians in Australia and US in our
program
• Positive clinical data from ovarian cancer studies by competitors
Verastem (in LGSOC‡) and Inxmed (in HGSOC†) further justify clinical
work in this space
Mice bearing mouse ovarian cancer cells show minimal
tumour growth (measured as flux) when treated with
narmafotinib while standard-of-care drug niraparib is
largely ineffective.
