Targovax assessment
There is a major and growing unmet medical need
in PD-1 resistant melanoma
Total ~50,000 patients per year diagnosed with
unresectable advanced malignant melanoma globally
~50% of cases become PD-1 resistant
Total ~25,000 patients per year
Estimated 10,000 – 20,000 patients per year addressable
with intra-tumoral therapies
Incidence

 Opportunity to achieve best-in-class data in PD-1 resistant
melanoma setting
 Differentiated combinations vs. competitors, with strong
scientific and strategic rationale
 Design and size to enable licensing decisions for big pharma
partners
 Confirm ONCOS-102 high dose and address FDA requirements
for contribution of components
 Support future expansion of combinations into earlier lines of
melanoma
The phase 2 trial is designed to enable future out-
licensing and address regulatory requirements
