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”,
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

CED Of MDNA55 in IL4R Up-Regulated GB Patients At First Relapse (COUGAR)
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.
