Is KRAS Prognostic or Predictive? • Inconsistent Results • Weak (-) Prognostic Variable in surgical setting, but more recent studies, especially in context of systemic Tx, call this into question • KRAS wt pts have somewhat greater relative benefit with EGFR TKIs c/w mt (+) pts in placebo-controlled trials, but KRAS mutation does not reliably predict inferior outcome • Unlike CRC, neither wt nor mt (+) KRAS has any bearing on outcome in NSCLC pts receiving EGFR MAbs in combination with chemo

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ARQULE AND DAIICHI SANKYO ANNOUNCE DISCONTINUATION OF PHASE 3 MARQUEE CLINICAL TRIAL IN NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER DMC Recommends Discontinuation of Study for Futility No Unexpected Safety Findings from Interim Analysis Woburn, MA and Tokyo, Japan, October 2, 2012 – ArQule, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQL) and Daiichi Sankyo, Co., Ltd. (TSE 4568) today announced that the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) of the Phase 3 MARQUEE (Met inhibitor ARQ 197 plus Erlotinib vs Erlotinib plus placebo in NSCLC) trial recommended the study be stopped early following a planned interim analysis, when they concluded that the study would not meet its primary endpoint of improved overall survival. Although the interim analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, this benefit did not carry over to overall survival. There were no safety concerns identified by the DMC to Daiichi Sankyo or ArQule during this interim analysis.
