ALX Oncology: The CD47 Leader
ALX Oncology is advancing a highly differentiated immuno-oncology pipeline led by evorpacept, a potential best and first-in- class CD47 innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that has been studied in over 500 patients
Evorpacept is the first CD47 inhibitor to demonstrate robust clinical activity and a differentiated safety profile across both solid and liquid tumors highlighted by the first positive randomized data in the field in gastric cancer in Q4 '23
A prespecified interim analysis of ASPEN-06, a randomized Ph2 study for the treatment of advanced HER2+ gastric/GEJ cancer, showed a confirmed overall response rate for the evorpacept arm of 52% vs. 22% for control and encouraging early durability
Multiple positive clinical studies across NHL, gastric, and head and neck (HNSCC) have been completed to date and currently pursuing additional studies in combination with 3 therapeutic classes: anti-cancer antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors and ADCs
Significant upcoming milestones anticipated in 2024 for evorpacept include final top line results from the Ph2 gastric/GEJ study, results from two randomized Ph2 studies in HNSCC, as well as additional clinical data in NHL, breast, and urothelial cancer
Expanding evorpacept to new indications and building a strong pipeline beyond evorpacept supported by multiple pharma partnerships and a strong balance sheet with cash runway into early 2026

The lack of preclinical toxicity due to the inactive Fc in vivo has translated to a well-tolerated profile in clinic
Phase 1 ASPEN-01 cohorts and ASPEN-02. For combination cohort of evorpacept plus Keytruda, treatment related adverse events occurring in >1 subject in all histologies at 10 & 15 mg/kg QW; data as of April 1, 2020.
For combination cohorts of evorpacept plus Keytruda and chemotherapy (5FU, platinum) or plus Herceptin and chemotherapy (Cyramza, paclitaxel), all treatment related adverse events are reported; data as of September 01, 2021.

Evorpacept's differentiated design results in differentiated safety profile and robust clinical activity
Higher affinity CD47 binding
Inactive Fc domain
Lower molecular
weight
Antibody-like
pharmacokinetics
Evorpacept
More potently blocks CD47 signal on cancer cells
Less "sink effect" = more targeted
No known dose dependent cytopenia = higher dosing
Increased solid tumor penetration and
higher effective dosing
Long half life = less frequent dosing and matching regimen with combinations
Robust clinical
activity
Best-in-class safety
profile
Strong solid tumor
activity
Broad combination
