Collaboration with Precision Biosciences on use of Foralumab in Conjunction with their CAR-T Candidates for Cancer Treatment
• Recurrence rates of cancer in patients treated with CAR-T without lymphodepletion is very high due to poor survival of CAR-T cells
• Currently, CAR-T is conducted with pre-conditioning with lymphodepletion agents (Cy/Flu) to improve survival of CAR-T cells in patients
• Cy/Flu treatment is highly toxic resulting in deaths of patients
• Foralumab is the only fully human anti-CD3 mAb that may have the potential to be used as safe lymphodepleting agent.
• TLSA patented the use of foralumab in conjunction withCAR-T to enhance long-term success of CAR-T for cancertreatment
TLSA executed an agreement with PrecisionBio (NASDAQ:DTIL) for use of foralumab inconjunction with their allogeneic CAR-T forcancer treatment of cancer.

First clinical trial with nasally administered foralumab in COVID-19 patients in Brazil is completed.Phase 2 trial in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Brazil to startby the end of 2021.
This is the firstclinical validation that nasally administered foralumab may act through normalizing the immune system.
Individual expanded access program ongoing and the first patienthas safely completed 3 months of dosing.
Dataare being analysed for safety tolerability,PK and clinical responses. Complete data will be available in Q2, 2022.
The next step for a dose ranging trial in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) patients is being planned.
A similar clinical study with nasally administered foralumab in Europe is being explored.

Key FindingsBiologic response of increased proliferation and anti-inflammatory gene expression profile in peripheral blood mononuclear cells
3 of 6 patients had a clinical response including one patient in clinical remission
Treatment was well-tolerated with no serious treatment-related adverse events
Oral administration of anti-CD3 mAbs has been clinically validated in patients with inflammatory bowel diseaseInvestigator initiated trial by Dr. Scott Snapper at Harvard Medical SchoolPatients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis received oral OKT3 once daily for 30 days

Milciclib Targets Multiple Pathways in HCC and NSCLC
HCC is a complex and heterogenous cancer associated with multiple etiological factors that may benefit from a broad-spectrum approach

• NSCLC is a complex and heterogenous cancer with multiple genetic mutations
• K-RAS and EGFR mutations predominate in NSCLC
KRAS Mutations: 30% of NSCLC
KRAS mutations correlated with:• Higher exonic mutation rate• Smoking genomic signature• STK11 mutation• P53 mutation
10 to 100-fold higher mutation rate than EGFR-mutated or KRAS wild-type tumours

Phase 1 Study of Milciclib + Gemcitabine in Refractory Solid Tumors
Trial Design
16 Patients with refractory solid tumors
Treated with oral milciclib at three dose levels(45, 60, and 80 mg/m2/day)
With a fixed dose of IV gemcitabine(1000 mg/m2/day)
ResultsMilciclib was well-tolerated with manageable side effects
Overall response rate was 36%Clinical activity was observed in patients with variety of solid cancers who were non-responders to all existing chemotherapy
Recommended Phase 2 dose (RPD) found to be 80mg/m2/daySwimmer plot showing treatmentduration. Tumor type was indicated for patients having a prolonged stable disease or a partial response. M Milciclib; G gemcitabine.
