▪ IL2RG codes for common gamma chain (c) – critical for normal development, maturation and function of immune cells ▪ Early diagnosis & treatment possible in areas with newborn screening (NBS) or in patients with family history ▪ In the absence of NBS, most patients (almost all males) are diagnosed at 3 – 6 months when maternal immunity wanes
– Recurrent bacterial, viral and fungal infections: Oral/diaper candidiasis, severe bacterial infections, opportunistic organisms such as Pneumocystis – Diarrhea, protein-losing enteropathy, failure to thrive
▪ Death by age 1 if untreated ▪ Standard of care is immune reconstitution via allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
XSCID Is the Most Common Form of Combined Immunodeficiency1
10
▪ US estimated annual incidence of ~1:225,000 live births ▪ ~20 new cases per year ▪ Rest of world annual incidence is similar to US ~1:225,000 live births ▪ ~55 new cases per year in high/mid-income ex-US markets
Newly-diagnosed infants “Reservoir” (patients with XSCID who have been previously treated with allogeneic HSCT and who
therefore might be eligible for gene therapy now or in the future)
▪ US ≈ 400 patients ▪ High/mid-income ex-US markets ≈ 650 patients
1. Third-party analysis based on NBS data, medical literature, registry data & KOL interviews. Addressable ex-US markets include Canada & mid to high income countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America & Middle East. 2. https://primaryimmune.org/idf-advocacy-center/idf-scid-newborn-screening-campaign. 3. http://www.scid.net/the-scid-homepage/newborn-screening-where-it-began. 4.

Probability of Survival Donor Type
Only approved treatment option is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant
▪ With severe infections at time of HSCT, mortality is ~50%1 ▪ Only 15% of patients have a matched sibling donor (MSD) ▪ Absent MSD, survival is lower & complications are higher; Quality of life is poor due to late morbidities2
– 20% experience acute graft-vs-host disease; 15% chronic – T-cell immunity decreases over time in at least 20%, leading to infections & diarrhea – 20% require 2nd HSCT due to poor T-cell reconstitution3 – Only 1/3 have sufficient B-cell reconstitution at 2 - 5 years4 – Up to 70% require lifelong intravenous immunoglobulin4,5

MB-107: Conclusions from Newborn Trial & Future Directions
- Clinical
– LV vector & targeted low-dose exposure busulfan gene therapy is well tolerated & results in the development of a functional immune system – No evidence of malignant transformation was observed with longer median follow-up of ~2 years – This approach may present a promising alternative to current therapies, which rely in part on high-dose chemotherapy followed by allogeneic HSCT – Study is ongoing at St. Jude, UCSF, & Seattle Children’s to determine long-term safety & sustained efficacy
- Regulatory
– MB-107 IND filed for expanded multicenter trial under Mustang IND; trial on hold pending CMC clearance by FDA
- St. Jude will remain Phase 1/2 trial sponsor until FDA approves Mustang’s IND
- In the meantime, Mustang is lining up additional US sites & laying CMC & ClinOps foundation for expansion to Europe in 2021
– Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation – granted 3Q2019
- Will facilitate Mustang’s IND regulatory interactions for MB-107 (gene therapy product for newly diagnosed XSCID patients)
- Plan to request a separate RMAT designation for MB-207 (product for previously transplanted XSCID patients)
– ATMP Designation granted 2Q2020 – Requests for Rare Pediatric Disease & Orphan Drug designations submitted 2Q2020

- Safety profile maintained
– No indication of possible pre-cancerous cell proliferation – No vector insertional leukemogenesis to date – 1 patient died from pre-existing lung damage >2 years post-therapy; highlights importance of early intervention
- Substantial clinical improvement
– 6/7 cured chronic norovirus – 5/6 resolved protein losing enteropathy – 4/8 experienced protective response to immunizations & ceased IgG supplements
- Impressive biomarker improvement
– 7/8 increased host T cells chimerism from 0-2% to 28-93% – 7/8 normal T cell proliferation response – 6/8 increasing or normal CD20+ CD27+ IgG+ memory B cells – 7/8 normal levels of IgM

MB-207: Despite Excellent Results in First 8 Patients Treated with OT Regimen, NIH Noted Room for Improvement
- One of the 8 patients – like newborn patient #1 – failed to achieve any of the lab or clinical landmarks
- Pace to achieve lab & clinical landmarks was slow (2-3 years in most patients)
- Slow increase in peripheral blood NK cells; only patient #1 achieved normal range (at year 7)
- Vector amount used per patient was high, particularly for adults
23
Transduction Enhancers (TEs) Were Included in Cell Processing in Next 6 Patients to Address These Challenges
- Increase pace of immune reconstitution & achievement of clinical benefit
- Enhance pace of NK cell generation, where higher VCN may be required
- Reduce amount of vector required (8-12 fold less vector used)

MB-207: TE Regimen Resulted in Accelerated Clearance of Chronic Norovirus Infection
OT Regimen
- 6/7 patients with norovirus cleared infection
- Patients required 1 – 3 years post therapy to cure infection
- Patient 8 did not clear the infection
TE Regimen
- Patients 9 & 10 cured chronic norovirus infection by 6 months post therapy
- Patients 11, 12 & re-treated 8 with norovirus infection are symptom free @ 3 – 6 months
25 Source: De Ravin SS et al. ASH 2019.
MB-207: Summary of Regimen With TEs & Future Plans
- Several advantages for regimen with TEs observed with limited follow-up
– Accelerated clearance of norovirus & GI symptoms – Accelerated production of NK cells – Uniformly higher transduction product VCN – Accelerated increase in vector marking – Accelerated spike in IgM – Requires 1/8 to 1/12 amount of vector used in first 8 patients
- Safety profile of regimen has been similar to safety profile in patients treated with OT regimen
- Mustang currently considering possibility of incorporating less aggressive TE regimen in MB-207 pivotal trial
- Pre-IND meeting planned for 3Q2020, with subsequent IND filing expected shortly thereafter
- Requests for Rare Pediatric Disease & Orphan Drug designations submitted 2Q2020
- Mustang expects to submit request for ATMP designation 3Q2020; RMAT in 2021

MB-106: Background to Cohort 4
▪ Due to safety concerns, protocol started with cyclophosphamide alone as lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy ▪ Little activity in first 3 cohorts
- Cohort 1 (no fludarabine): 3.3 x 105 CAR-T cells/kg
- Cohort 2 (no fludarabine): 1 x 106 CAR-T cells/kg
- Cohort 3 (cyclophosphamide + fludarabine): 3.3 x 105 CAR-T cells/kg
▪ In collaboration with Mustang CMC team, FHCRC optimized cell processing
▪ In vivo experiments at FHCRC demonstrated superiority of the new process, resulting in decision to amend the IND & implement the process starting with Cohort 4 ▪ First patient then enrolled in Cohort 4
- Due to enhanced in vivo potency of CAR-T cells relative to prior cohorts, dose was reduced to starting level:
3.3 x 105 CAR-T cells/kg
- Complete LD chemotherapy regimen administered: Cyclophosphamide + fludarabine
29
MB-106: CR Achieved at Day 28 in FL Patient
1st patient dosed after Mustang-led optimization of cell processing
- Disease was refractory to initial therapy & 2 salvage regimens

- IL13R⍺2 is an attractive target for CAR-T development
– overexpressed in >75% of GBM patients – Not expressed on normal brain cells
- No CAR-T programs competing for target; only CAR-Ts directed
to other targets are in phase 1 at COH (HER2, chlorotoxin)
- MB-101 is the first CAR-T to demonstrate durable remission in
the solid tumor setting

MB-101: Applying Learnings from Complete Responder
- Pt had by far the highest infiltration of CD3+ cells: Do “hot” tumors respond better to MB-101?
– Together with our COH colleagues, we decided that combination of the CAR-T with an oncolytic virus (OV) would be the preferred mechanism for trying to turn cold GBM tumors hot – In 1Q2019 we in-licensed a preclinical OV from Nationwide Children’s Hospital1
- 1st patient dosed 4Q2019,2 initial proof-of-concept observed
- Preclinical combination studies (OV + MB-101) to start at COH 3Q2020
– Anticipate filing IND for investigator-initiated single-center combination trial at COH 4Q2020 for R/R GBM
- Tech transfer to Mustang in 2021 if COH data are encouraging
- Patient had substantial component of leptomeningeal disease: Is this the best solid tumor “substrate” for
cell-cell interactions required for optimal activation of CAR-T cells?
– Anticipate filing IND for investigator-initiated single-center trial at COH 3Q2020 for R/R GBM with significant component of leptomeningeal disease
- With grant funding, COH has also started combination trial with checkpoint inhibitors3
