 SixOne Solutions LLC is an early-stage preclinical
company developing targeted small-molecule
breast cancer drugs.
 We are pursuing a streamlined, cost-effective
development plan for first in class products that
address a cancer pathway not addressed by any
current cancer drugs.
 The compounds we are developing may be
broad-spectrum cancer drugs, as the pathway
targeted by our compounds is implicated in many
hard-to-treat cancers.
 Scientific founders
Prof. Heide Ford and Assoc. Prof. Rui Zhao
◦ Discovered new cancer pathway
◦ Comprehensively validated a key pathway protein complex
as a drug discovery target
 Target validation subsequently confirmed by others
 Key review paper:
http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1517/14728222.2014.978860
◦ Through a 10-year collaboration determined the target
structure, developed assays, and identified small molecule
compounds that disrupt this target protein complex
 SixOne is commercially developing these compounds
to treat breast cancer and potentially other cancers.
 Breast cancer is the second leading cause of
cancer death for women (after lung cancer)
 Each year 450,000 women die of breast cancer
globally.
 Metastasis (spread of cancer to other organs) is
the primary cause of death.
 Critical market need: new therapies to prevent or
treat metastasis.
 Breast cancer treatment = $10 B global market

SixOne Solutions is developing first in class small molecule products
for treating metastatic breast cancer.
• Our products address Eya/Six, not targeted by current cancer drugs.
• The central role of Eya/Six1 in breast cancer, and, importantly, in
metastasis, was discovered by our scientific founder Dr. Heide Ford.
• The Eya/Six1-controlled cancer pathway is found in a majority of
breast cancer patients and 90% of metastatic breast tumors
• Eya/Six1 has been shown to turn on genes leading to metastasis
(spread) of cancer cells from the original breast tumor, thus drugs
targeting Eya/Six1are expected to block cancer growth and
metastasis.
• SixOne’s drugs are expected cause few side effects because they will
be specific to Eya/Six1, which is present in cancer cells but
generally not found in normal cells. Non-toxic drugs are critical as
breast cancer treatment is expected to shift to combinations of
targeted drugs in place of chemotherapy.

Metastasis
Eya/Six1 complex may be a key control point in a widespread
cancer pathway; they have been implicated in breast, ovarian,
lung, pancreatic, brain, and other cancers.
The proteins Eya and Six1, abundant during embryo growth, are
generally absent in adult cells. When aberrantly active in adult
cells, their usual functions result in tumor growth and metastasis.
Six1 gene manipulation also inhibits growth/metastasis of other
cancers in mouse models:
- Rhabdomyosarcoma (Yu et al., Nat Med 2004)
- Hepatocellular Carcinoma Ng et al., Int J Cancer (2010)
- Kidney cancers (Imam et al., Oncogene 2010)
- Colorectal Cancer (Li et al., Int J Clin Exp Path 2014)
The impact of Six1 has been established in mouse models:
Manipulation of Six1 genes in mice dramatically decreases
tumor growth and metastasis.
Six1 does not act alone: metastasis increases and
survival decreases in mouse models when Six1
binds with Eya

We identified small molecule compounds that disrupt
the Eya/Six1 complex by two different modes: Group
1 compounds inhibit a key catalytic function of Eya.
Group 2 compounds prevent Eya and Six1 from
binding to form the active complex.

Group 1 compounds
Inhibit Eya catalytic

Group 2 compounds
And block tumor

hallmark of cancer
Issued and Pending Patent Applications:
• Protein complex target
• Methods of treatment
• Proprietary small molecule compounds
 Optimize compounds for greater potency
◦ Straightforward medicinal chemistry to improve
compounds and select best compound to commercialize
 Demonstrate efficacy in animal disease models
◦ Standard industry accepted breast cancer mouse models
Upon successful completion of these milestones,
we believe we will be able to attract a strategic
partner who will complete clinical development
and launch products.
