Overview of varlitinib (ASLAN001)
VARLITINIB
- Small molecule based reversible pan-HER inhibitor with balanced
inhibition across all HER receptors
- Global rights (all indications) licensed from Array BioPharma
- Studied in over 300 patients to date, with good tolerability and
demonstrated efficacy in BTC, gastric, breast, CRC
- Orphan status approved for CCA1 and GC by US FDA
- Korean rights licensed to Hyundai Pharmaceuticals in 2015
- Strong IP protection including composition of matter in major

Varlitinib has the potential to block tumour growth in a wide range of tumours
VARLITINIB
- The HER family of receptors is responsible for
driving growth in many tumours
- Many approved drugs target these receptors
- HER-selective drugs such as Herceptin target only
- ne type of HER receptor (HER2)
- They are effective in certain patient subsets that
are driven specifically by HER2
- However, blocking just one of these receptors is
ineffective for the majority of patients
- Many of these are driven by combinations of HER1,
HER2 , HER3 and HER4
- Varlitinib is a pan-HER inhibitor and blocks all of
these receptors, shutting down growth in a much broader range of tumours

- All patients received 300-500mg varlitinib and platinum containing doublet chemo
- Most patients had received at least 2 prior treatments, including Herceptin, Kadcyla

- Not all patients have completed 4 cycles of therapy

Impressive responses in difficult to treat tumours
00494/CF
Varlitinib demonstrated greater tumour shrinkage in 2nd line HER2+ mBC compared to lapatinib
VARLITINIB
- Multinational, randomised, open-label phase 2 study
- Significantly greater tumour shrinkage at week 12 in patients who were on
therapy for more than a month (p=0.075)
– 36.4% for patients on varlitinib vs 17.8% for patients on lapatinib
- Not powered for ORR, however patients dosed with varlitinib showed higher
ORR compared to patients on lapatinib (60% versus 46%).
- No differences in progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS)
- Adverse events included nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, and occurred at
similar frequency in both arms
– Incidence of grade 3 diarrhoea was 12% on varlitinib, clinically manageable – No instances of grade 4 diarrhoea. No anti-diarrhoea prophylaxis required
- We also have studies ongoing in neoadjuvant BC and BC with brain
metastasis

Why do companies out-license early stage assets for zero upfront rather than developing themselves?
- Many of these licensors have limited presence in Asia and cannot easily
develop for Asia prevalent disease
- Changes in strategy can lead to a licensor exiting a therapeutic area
- They believe in the future value of the asset, so they prefer a share of
future revenues rather than an upfront payment
