Our Investment Thesis Centers on Advancing Two Programs – Both Representing Highly Differentiated Approaches to Clinically Validated Targets KAT6A Highly Selective Oral Degraders JAK2V617F Mutant Selective Inhibitors First-in-class KAT6A degraders, with absolute selectivity over KAT6B – a differentiated approach against a clinically validated target in ER+ breast cancer with pan-tumor potential in other malignancies Potentially transformative JAK2V617F allosteric JH2 inhibitors with potential to reduce mutant allele burden and modify the course of disease progression in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)


Slide 7

JAK2V617F is the Primary Driver Mutation Leading to Activated JAK-STAT Signaling, Uncontrolled Proliferation, and Disease Progression in MPNs The JAK-STAT pathway mediates growth factor signaling, most notably: Thrombopoietin receptor for platelet production Erythropoietin receptor for red blood cell production The JAK2V617F mutation leads to growth factor-independent hyperactivation of JAK-STAT pathway and uncontrolled myeloid and erythroid proliferation Inhibition of wildtype JAK2 causes anemia and thrombocytopenia and current JAK inhibitors, like ruxolitinib (Jakafi®), while effective, equally inhibit both WT and V617F-mutated (VF+) JAK2 JAK2 JH2 inhibitors that selectively target VF+ progenitor cells have potential to reduce mutant allele burden, modify disease progression, and transform treatment outcomes for MPN patients Jakafi® is a registered trademark of Incyte Corporation Jakafi® Campbell P.J. and Green A.R.
