Many Tumor Cells Use the CD47 “Do Not Eat” Signal to Inhibit Macrophage Phagocytosis
CD47 delivers an inhibitory “do not eat” signal to macrophages through SIRPα
3
Many hematologic and solid tumors express high levels of CD47
High CD47 expression often correlates with aggressive disease and poor clinical outcomes

Differentiating TTI-621 From Other CD47 Blocking Agents1. TTI-621 IgG1 Fc delivers a potent “eat” signal

*Clinical stage compounds
Advantages of an IgG1 Fc:• Maximizes potency by delivering an activating signal to
macrophages through Fc receptors• Higher likelihood of monotherapy activity - not dependent
upon a combination with another IgG1 antibody• Could be used to treat tumors where no anti-cancer
antibody is available
Differentiating TTI-621 From Other CD47 Blocking Agents2. TTI-621 Does Not Bind Human RBCs
8
Petrova et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2017
CD47 is associated with the Rh Ag complexand anchored to the cytoskeleton in RBCs TTI-621 does not bind human RBCs TTI-621 does not agglutinate human RBCs
Salomao et al. PNAS 2008
Why does TTI-621 not bind RBCs?• Moderate binding affinity – need bivalent interaction• Lack of CD47 mobility in the RBC membrane prevents
clustering and limits bivalent binding
Advantages of non-RBC binding:• Minimizes likelihood of anemia• Avoids drug removal by the “antigen sink”• Avoids interference with transfusion medicine testing

• Advantages of direct injection:• Obtain very high local drug
concentrations
• Avoid systemic antigen sink
• Rapid responses
Update recently reported at EORTC 2018
Intralesional TTI-621 Injections Were Well Tolerated in CTCL Patients
• Related adverse events (AEs) all Grade 1 or 2; no Grade ≥3 AEs
• Common related AEs include chills, injection site pain, and fatigue
• No related serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicity

CAILS Reductions in Injected Lesions Were Observed in the Majority of Patients
18 patients have available CAILS scores*
• 16 (89%) with decreased CAILS
• 8 (44%) with ≥50% reduction in CAILS
• CAILS decreases:
• Occurred at all dose levels
• Following single and multiple injections
• In all stages IA to IVB

Based on Data Snapshot of Aug 10, 2018
• Most frequent AEs were low-grade infusion reactions, clinically managed by pre-medication and close monitoring
• ≥ Grade 3 thrombocytopenia occurred in 19% patients
• Diverse patient population from the following expansion cohorts: AML, MDS, MPN, B-NHL, T-NHL, HL, MM, CLL, SCLC
The following data summaries are based on interim data and thus should be regarded as preliminary
Transient Thrombocytopenia Not Associated with Increased Risk of Bleeding
20
• Thrombocytopenia is likely an on-target effect resulting from CD47 blockade and the TTI-621 IgG1 Fc
• Thrombocytopenia is reversible within a week
• Pre-dose platelet levels remain relatively stable over the course of the study
• Transient platelet decreases did not lead to an increased risk of bleeding
• Platelet decreases did not impact drug delivery – 1/163 patients had dosing discontinued due to thrombocytopenia

Summary
• TTI-621 is a novel dual function decoy receptor that blocks the CD47 “do not eat” signal and delivers an activating signal through FcRs
• TTI-621 is differentiated from other CD47 blocking agents by its potent IgG1 Fc and lack of RBC binding
• Intratumoral delivery of TTI-621 has been shown to be well tolerated and results in responses in injected and non-injected MF lesions
• Intravenous TTI-621 is well tolerated, activity observed as a single agent in CTCL, PTCL and DLBCL patients and in combination with rituximab in DLBCL patients at relatively low doses; dose intensification ongoing
• Clinical program is moving forward in three distinct areas: • Intratumoral mono- and combination-therapy in CTCL
• IV monotherapy in both CTCL and PTCL
• IV combination therapy in B-cell lymphoma
