  5. Company Overview • Clinical stage immunotherapy company with novel ‘ImmunoBody’ DNA vaccine platform for cancer and chronic infectious diseases • Lead product (SCIB1 for melanoma) entered Phase I clinical trials in June 2010 with steady progress made in 2011 -Dose increased from 0.4mg to 4mg with no serious adverse effects • Follow up vaccine targeting NY-ESO-1 (SCIB2) at pre-clinical proof of principle stage (lung, oesophageal, prostate, liver, gastric, ovarian, bladder cancers) with more in the pipeline • Partnerships with Ichor Medical Systems, immatics Biotechnologies GmBH and others to optimise immune response and generate new products • Antibody portfolio sale to Arana Therapeutics (now Cephalon/Teva) in 2006 Milestone payment of £2.85m received in November 2011 when SC104 started Phase 1 clinical trials in USA

  6. Industry Trends • Continued trend for Big Pharma to move away from in-house R&D and to rely more on partnerships with Industry and Academia • Larger Biotechs becoming more aggressive buyers of innovative companies and providing growing competition for Big Pharma • Pick up in M&A deal value in 2011 (e.g. Amgen/Biovex $1 billion) • Public markets still generally unsupportive of early stage Biotech (until key value inflexion point reached) • Outstanding projects with future strategic value to third party will succeed

  7. Cancer Vaccine Sales Increasing

  8. A Year of Steady Progress • Patient recruitment for Phase 1 trial of SCIB1 in melanoma completed • Dose escalation to highest dose of 4mg achieved with no serious adverse effects • Follow up vaccine for lung and other cancers (SCIB2) produces outstanding results in animal studies • Additional £1.73m (gross) raised in June 2011 • Milestone payment of £2.85m received when SC104 entered clinical trials in November 2011 confirming commercial value of Scancell science • Significant additional progress on technology platform • Fully funded to completion of Phase 2 clinical trial

  9. Share Information Listing on AIM October 2011 Placing £1.58m raised Milestone payment of £2.85m from Cephalon Inc received Share Price (10 for 1 Subdivision of Shares occurred 25 July 2011) Market Capitalisation at 1st January 2008- 2012 £1.6m raised in PLUS float April 2010 Placing £2.5m raised This data has been collated from information supplied by the London Stock Exchange, the PLUS Market and analyst research notes from the last four years

  10. Strategy on Track • Validation of ImmunoBody platform through • - Clinical data on SCIB1 • - Phase 1 data 2012 • - Phase 2 data 2013 • - Pre-Clinical data on new ImmunoBody vaccines • - New supporting technologies • Trade sale to large pharmaceutical or biotech company

  12. SCIBI (melanoma) High avidity CD8 and CD4 response Better than synthetic peptide or whole antigen Better than DNA antigen immunisation Similar to DC vaccines Works with gene gun, id/im electroporation Induces anti-tumour activity in vivo GMP manufactured No Toxicity CTA May 2010 Clinical Trial June 2010 Metheringham et al., 2009 mabs

  13. Ichor TRIGRID™ Delivery System Application Cartridge Integrated Applicator Electrodes Pulse Stimulator Figure 2. Injection Needle Uses electrical fields to increase DNA drug delivery efficiency Electrode array consists of four electrodes in a diamond-shaped grid around a central injection needle Simple hand-held device developed for use in humans Can deliver equivalent does in man to mouse Im easier to deliver in humans than id

  14. Primary Objective: To demonstrate safety and tolerability Secondary Objective: To demonstrate cellular immune response (high avidity T-cells) and tumour response Phase One 9 patients 3 subjects per cohort; 0.4mg, 2.0 mg or 4.0 mg Progression only if adequate safety demonstrated at previous dose Phase Two 13 subjects Subjects to receive maximum tolerated dose provided no clear evidence of improved efficacy at lower doses Phase I-II trial in stage IV/III melanoma Start: June 2010 3wks 6wks 3 months 6 months 0

  15. Phase I-II trial in stage III/IV melanoma • GTAC approval for the trial was given in May 2010 and the first patient was immunised in June 2010 • 5 centres: Nottingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds and Southampton • Phase I fully recruited – no toxicity • Phase II starting 2 Q 2012 • Phase I completed by end 2012 • Phase II completed in 2013 with report in early 2014

  16. Vaccine encodes 20 epitopes • covers 90-100% of population • Better than peptide • Better than Dc peptide (Dendreon) SCIB2-NYESO-1 • Expressed by lung (SCLC), melanoma, oesophageal, liver, • gastric, prostate, ovarian and bladder cancers • Improves survival P=0.044 In combination with homspera it completely inhibits tumour growth p=0.0041 p=0.0003 1E-10 1E-09 1E-08 1E-07 1E-06 1E-05

  17. Candidate for SCIB3? • Novel patentable target (Patents being prepared) • Widely expressed ( lung , ovarian , renal, leukaemias, sarcomas, melanoma, oesophageal, liver, gastric and prostate cancers) • Novel CD4 self epitope stimulates killer CD4 T cells • Potent anti-tumour response

  18. Summary • Phase I recruited • Phase II due to start April 2012 • SCIB2 NYESO-1 good anti-tumour response • SCIB3 new patent good anti-tumour response
