Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements referring to the planned clinical testing and development of Transgene’s therapeutic vaccine candidates, and the possible entry into new partnership agreements.. However, clinical testing and successful product development depend on a variety of factors, including the timing and success of future patient enrolment and the risk of unanticipated adverse patient reactions. Results from future studies with more data may show less favorable outcomes than prior studies, and there is no certainty that product candidates will ever demonstrate adequate therapeutic efficacy or achieve regulatory approval or commercial use Furthermore, the entry into new partnerships involves a process of negotiation with partner candidates, including with respect to financial, technical, commercial and legal matters, and there is no certainty that appropriate partnerships will be established or will be successful.. For further information on the risks and uncertainties involved in the testing and development of Transgene’s product candidates, see Trangene’s Document de Référence on file with the French Autorité des marchés financiers on its website at http://www.amf-france.org and Transgene’s website at www.transgene.fr .

Cancer Mortality

► Lung cancer = NSCLC (80%) + SCLC (20%) ► Highest mortality among cancers: 1.18 million deaths/yr . ~25% of all cancer deaths worldwide (more than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined) ► Europe:

  • 334,800 deaths in 2006 [Ferlay J et al. Annals of Oncology Advance Access, Feb 7, 2007]
  • 253,300 men, representing 27% of total cancer deaths
  • 81,500 women, representing 11% of total cancer deaths

► USA:

  • 160,390 deaths in 2007 [National Cancer Institute]

  • NSCLC represent ~ 80% of Lung cancers
  • NSCLC is a heterogeneous aggregate of histologies: the most common histologies are adenocarcinoma epidermoid,

squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma

  • These histologies are often classified together because approaches to diagnosis, staging, prognosis and treatment

TG4023 • A Unique Approach

Combining Immunotherapy and Targeted Chemotherapy

CONSTRUCTION AND MECHANISM OF ACTION

► TG4023 is a gene-directed therapy which may increase the efficacy of chemotherapy in solid tumors accessible to intra-tumoral injection ► Intra-tumor/metastasis injection in combination with lower dose systemic chemotherapy

TARGET MARKET

► Treatment of cancerous lesions

  • f the liver:
  • Primary liver tumors: hepatocellular

carcinomas (HCC)

  • Liver metastasis of other cancers, mainly

colorectal cancer (mCRC)

► Market potential

  • Hepatocarcinoma – 500K+ new cases p.a.
  • 60% of patients not operable
  • Colorectal cancers 1m new cases p.a;
  • 60% of patients develop liver metastasis
  • 80% of patients non resectable
  • Medical Need High – Increase cure rate of

HCC and mCRC patients and prolong survival of inoperable patients

TG4023 • Product Description

and Rationale

What is 5-FU? ► Chemotherapy with strong clinical practice background (since 1957) ► Remains the cornerstone of chemotherapy ► It is low in efficacy and high in toxicity ► Short half life > need for continuous infusion ► No oral administration of 5-FU Product Rationale for TG4023: ► TG4023 aims at delivering 5-FU in the tumor ► It aims to improve 5-FU efficacy while abrogating its systemic toxicity ► Targets all solid tumors accessible to IT injections in combination with lower dose chemotherapy ► New option for patients with non-operable tumor/metastases ► New option for patients non eligible for local ablation techniques ► New option for patients after chemo. failure 5-FU (IV, IP, IHA)

Systemic 5-FU

5-FC (oral, IV) TG4023 (IT)

TG4023

Systemic Toxicity of 5-FU No systemic toxicity of 5-FU High intra-tumoral concentration

slide-34
SLIDE 34

► FCU1 converts the prodrug 5-FC into 5-FU, resulting in:

– Sustained (15 days) and high level of in situ production of 5-FU (at a concentration not attainable through systemic administration of 5-FU) – Efficacy against neighboring tumor cells that do not express the FCU1 gene through a bystander killing effect

  • 1% infected cells is sufficient to kill the whole cell population
  • 5-FU can diffuse by nonfacilited diffusion into adjacent cells

– Possible activation of the immune system through cell killing and presence of the virus

In vivo results:

► The anti-tumor effect of TG4023 was demonstrated in nude mice after subcutaneous injection of human tumor cells (colon cancer, liver cancer and glioblastoma). ► Significant control growth tumor observed in mice treated with TG4023 + 5-FC compared to control mice treated with systemic 5-FU.
