DEVELOPING PRECISION MEDICINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

Corporate Presentation - May 2024

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our research, preclinical and clinical development activities, plans and projected timelines for ziftomenib, tipifarnib and KO-2806, plans regarding regulatory filings, our expectations regarding the relative benefits of our product candidates versus competitive therapies, and our expectations regarding the therapeutic and commercial potential of our product candidates. The words "believe," "may," "should," "will," "estimate," "promise," "plan", "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "potential" and similar expressions (including the negative thereof) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Risks that contribute to the uncertain nature of the forward- looking statements include: our preclinical studies and clinical trials may not be successful; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may not agree with our interpretation of the data from clinical trials of our product candidates; we may decide, or the FDA may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or to modify our ongoing clinical trials; we may experience delays in the commencement, enrollment, completion or analysis of clinical testing for our product candidates, or in the reporting of data from such clinical testing, or significant issues regarding the adequacy of our clinical trial designs or the execution of our clinical trials may arise, which could result in increased costs and delays, or limit our ability to obtain regulatory approval; our product candidates may not receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of our product candidates could delay or prevent regulatory approval or commercialization; and we may not be able to obtain additional financing. Additional risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Kura's management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.

All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date on which they were made. Other risks and uncertainties affecting us are described more fully in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.

This presentation also contains statistical and clinical data obtained from and prepared by third parties. The recipient is cautioned not to give undue weight to such disclosures. Neither the Company nor any other person makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such data or undertakes any obligation to update such data after the date of this presentation.

ZIFTOMENIB: MENIN-KMT2A/MLL INHIBITOR IN ACUTE LEUKEMIAS

Ziftomenib Demonstrates Potential to Become a

Cornerstone of AML Therapy

Targets foundational mutations at the core of up to 50% of AML cases

  • Compelling clinical data support frontline opportunity
    • Good tolerability profile, enabling continuous administration in combination with SOC
    • Combinations appear to mitigate the risk of differentiation syndrome
    • No observed or predicted drug-drug interactions
    • Encouraging preliminary evidence of clinical activity
  • Strong investigator enthusiasm as evidenced by rapid enrollment across studies
    • First 20 patients enrolled in KOMET-007 combination trial in less than four months
    • Now dosing patients in KOMET-008 combination trial with SOCs, including FLT3 inhibitor
    • KOMET-001monotherapy registrational trial expected to complete enrollment by mid-2024

7

Ziftomenib Targets the Menin-KMT2A Pathway, a Foundational Target in AML

  • NPM1-m and KMT2A-r drive overexpression of HOXA9/MEIS1 genes, critical for transformation to AML
  • KMT2A(MLL) sits upstream from major AML targets (i.e., FLT3, IDH1/2, DNMT3A)
  • KMT2A(MLL)-dependentgenes contribute to therapeutic resistance and relapse to current therapies
  • Menin inhibition downregulates HOXA9/MEIS1, leading to differentiation of leukemic blasts

Ziftomenib Demonstrates Optimal Pharmaceutical Properties

Clinical data from KOMET-001 demonstrate:

  • Ziftomenib demonstrates a dose-dependent increase in exposure up to RP2D at 600 mg
  • Ziftomenib is not a clinically meaningful CYP3A4 substrate
    • No dose adjustment of ziftomenib needed when administered with a CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., azoles)
  • Ziftomenib is not a clinically meaningful CYP3A4 inhibitor
    • No dose adjustment needed for CYP3A4 substrates (e.g., venetoclax)
  • No drug-induced QTc prolongation observed at any dose
