  6. CONFIRM 2: Main Patient Eligibility Criteria • Patients with mCRC • Pretreatment for metastatic disease with irinotecan/fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy • Measurable disease per RECIST • WHO PS of 0-2 • Adequate hematological and organ function • No exclusions for prior coagulopathy or bleeding RECIST = Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.

  7. CONFIRM 2: Study Objectives • Primary end point: Overall survival • Statistical hypothesis: One-year overall survival rate from 36% to 45% (HR 0.782, 90% power, 5% level of significance with 692 events) • Key secondary end points: • Overall survival in high LDH (> 1.5 x ULN) patients • Progression free survival* • Overall population • High LDH population (> 1.5 x ULN) • Overall response rate (RECIST) *Assessed by investigators following RECIST criteria.

  19. PTK/ZK Summary • CONFIRM 2 • Well-tolerated safety profile with anticipated antiangiogenic drug-related effects • No OS benefit for overall population based on interim analysis • PTK/ZK improved PFS for overall population (HR = 0.83, P= 0.026) • PTK/ZK significantly improved PFS in high LDH patients (HR = 0.61, P < 0.001) • PTK/ZK improved OS for patients with high LDH (HR = 0.78, P= 0.105) • Efficacy and safety results in overall population and high LDH patients are highly consistent between CONFIRM 1 and CONFIRM 2 • New studies in mCRC patients with high LDH are planned • Further development of PTK/ZK is ongoing in mCRC and additional tumor types
