Chemosaturation Therapy (CS-PHP) 3 Procedural Steps Saturation Filtration Isolation A PERCUTANEOUS ALTERNATIVE to IHP
Filtration Procedure Chemo Filtration Circuit Chemo Isolation & Delivery Circuit
Melphalan • A bi-functional alkylating agent (nitrogen mustard) • Not cell-cycle specific – binds DNA strands • Cytotoxic effects are related to concentration and duration of exposure • Non-toxic to normal hepatocytes • Track record with surgical IHP

Phase III: CS-PHP vs. BACSTUDY DESIGN ELEMENTS • Conducted under Special Protocol Assessment(SPA) of US-FDA: • Primary Endpoint: Hepatic Progression Free Survival (hPFS) • Cross-Over: of BAC patients at hepatic progression • Stratification: Cutaneous vs. Ocular • Lead Center: National Cancer Institute (NIH) • Accrual: 93 patients/10 Institutions • Melphalandose = 3.0 mg/kg (from Phase 1 Trial) • Key Secondary Endpoints : • Response rate & Duration of Response • Overall Survival • Safety & Tolerability • Staging Scans: Evaluation by RECIST Criteria
Phase III: PHP-CS vs. BACSTATISTICAL ANALYIS PLAN • Sample size: 46 patients per arm • Alpha: p≤0.05 (2-sided ) • Power: 80% to detect a difference of 4 months Hepatic PFS • Expected Hepatic PFS (used for sample size determination) • PHP (Treatment): 7.73 months • Best Alternative Care (Control): 4 months • Response Rate (CR+PR) Detection: 88% power to detect a difference • Analysis of Results by Intent-to-Treat (ITT) • Statistical Significance: p < 0.05

Phase 3 Melanoma Study: Safety • Most common grade 3/4 AEs (peri-procedure) • thrombocytopenia, anemia and hypoalbuminemia • Melphalan-related neutropenia, leukopenia (in cycle) • febrile neutropenia in 6 (15%) patients • Transient peri-procedural transaminitis and hyper-bilirubinemia (10 - 30%) • Non-hematological toxicities infrequent • Three patients died of treatment-related events • hepatic failure, n=1 (99% liver replaced with tumor at autopsy; prophylactic allopurinol) • neutropenia, n=1 • pancytopenia, n=1
Conclusions Significant improvement in hPFS (INV) 6.4 months at median: HR 0.35 (p < 0.0001) Consistent with IRC (incl. secondary endpoints) No difference in mOS due to cross-over (ITT) 55% crossover from BAC to PHP-melphalan Transient LFT elevations – no Rx required Expected & manageable toxicities of melphalan Patients still alive as of April 30, 2012 2 BAC and 8 CS-PHP
