Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Forward-looking statements include those relating to, among other things, the probability of success of the Phase 3 ACTION study, the potential filing and approval of an NDA for ONC201 and subsequent commercial opportunity, the implications of the monotherapy radiographic partial response observed during ONC206 dose escalation; the ability to reproduce clinical and pre-clinical findings, and projections regarding funding and timing of future data readouts. Among the factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are risks related to the timing, completion and outcome of the Phase 3 ACTION study of ONC201; risks associated with repeating positive results obtained in prior preclinical or clinical studies in future studies; risks related to the clinical development of ONC206; and additional risks set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the date of this release. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

ONC201 (dordaviprone) Phase 2 Efficacy Analysis
H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma: high unmet need
Frontline H3 K27M DMG2 | Histone H3 Mutations |
• H3 K27M mutation is predominantly found | in CNS Tumors1 |
among diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) in | |
young adults and children |
• Frontline radiotherapy remains standard of care with transient benefit; resection often not feasible
• DMGs harboring the H3 K27M mutation are
WHO Grade IV; historically invariably lethal | |||
• Consistently longer OS of ONC201-treated | Recurrent H3 K27M DMG3 | ||
H3 K27M DMG patients across: | |||
- Diverse external controls (historical, trials) | Natural Disease History4 | ONC201 Phase 2 | |
(n=43) | (n=50) | ||
- Sensitivity analysis (early event censoring) | |||
Median OS, mo (95% CI) | 5.1 | 13.7 | |
- Isolated tumor locations (thalamus, brainstem) | (3.9-7.7) | (8-20.3) | |
OS @ 12mo (95% CI) | 23.6% | 57% | |
(11.7-37.9) | (41-70) | ||
OS @ 24mo (95% CI) | 11.1% | 35% | |

- Progressive and measurable disease on contrast-enhanced brain MRI by RANO-High Grade Glioma (HGG) criteria
- Prior therapy with at least radiation
- Washouts prior to first ONC201 dose:

- Temozolomide: 23 days / Antibodies (e.g., bevacizumab): 42 days / Other anticancer therapies: 28 days
- Baseline Performance Status ≥60
- Corticosteroids stable or decreasing for at least 3 days prior to baseline scan

ONC201 waterfall plot - 30% RANO HGG / LGG response
ONC201 Ph 2 Efficacy Analysis by BICR in Recurrent H3
K27M-mutant Diffuse Midline Glioma
RANO HGG (enhancing)
- 20% response
- 40% disease control
RANO LGG (non-enhancing)
- 26% response
- 42% disease control
- Strict selection criteria to ensure responses attributable to single agent treatment
- Responses require both imaging and clinical criteria
- Dual reader blinded independent central review (BICR)
- Growing consensus that assessment of enhancing and non-enhancing disease (RANO- HGG and RANO-LGG criteria) is needed for diffuse midline glioma
9 | Change > 100%, PR=partial response, MR=minor response, SD=stable disease, NE=not evaluable, |
PD=progressive disease |
RANO-HGG responses observed across age groups
Responses by age group:
<18 years: 1/4 (25%)
18-40 years: 5/32 (16%)
>40 years: 4/14 (29%)
RANO-HGG response of 8-year-old subject suggests activity in this population
