Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always using words or phrases such as “expect”, “seek”, “endeavour”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”,

  • r stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will occur or be taken, or achieved) are not

statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which would cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presently anticipated. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections at the time the statements are made and involve significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A number of factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking

  • statements. These include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed in the public filings made by Medicenna with the

applicable securities commissions in Canada, including the Annual Information Form dated June 15, 2017. Should one or more

  • f these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect,

actual results, performance or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. These factors should be considered carefully and prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this document are based upon what Medicenna currently believes to be reasonable assumptions, Medicenna cannot assure prospective investors that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Medicenna does not have any obligation to advise any person if it becomes aware of any inaccuracy in or omission from any forward-looking statement, nor does it intend, or assume any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances.

MDNA55: Targeted Dual-Action Immunotherapeutic

A Powerful Molecular Trojan Horse

➢ Potently toxic to tumor cells with a wide therapeutic window ➢ Simultaneously purges the Tumor Microenvironment (TME) and un-blinds the immune system to cancer cells ➢ Proven payload efficacy– identical to Medimmune’s anti-CD22 immunotoxin, Moxetumomab Pasudotox, currently in PhIII trial for Hairy Cell Leukemia1 ➢ Reliable, cost-efficient fermentation-based manufacture

Efficacy Analysis

Statistical Design and Sample Size

Primary Endpoint: Objective Response Rate (ORR) per modified RANO (Response

Assessment for Neuro-Oncology) Criteria relative to pre-treatment baseline in adult subjects with GB that has recurred or progressed following standard therapy

Test Hypothesis: Null hypothesis that ORR is 6% (kill) versus the alternative hypothesis

(pursue) that ORR is 18% following treatment with MDNA55. Assumptions regarding primary end point are based on ORR from previous rGB studies1

Primary Efficacy Analysis: Assessed according to a single-arm, single-stage binomial

design at 1-sided alpha = 0.10. A total of 43 Subjects will provide 80% power.
