  • Selective regulation of transcription in a cancer gene specific

SEL24/MEN1703 is a differentiated, first-in-class PIM/FLT3 dual kinase inhibitor

PIM and FLT3 are

  • ncogenes involved in AML

Dual targeting creates potential for broader activity, more durable responses than selective FLT3 inhibitors such as gilteritinib Potential for treating patients that have relapsed on selective FLT3 inhibitors - PIM kinases are largely responsible for the development of resistance to FLT3 inhibitors

AIM OF THE STUDY:

  • determine the recommended Phase II dose

(RP2D), the PK profile and the single agent activity in R/R or newly diagnosed AML patients STATUS:

  • Study results published at EHA 2020 conference
  • Ryvu has received 1.9 M milestone payment for

successful completion of Phase I studies

Covid-19 impact on Ryvu Therapeutics

Clinical trials:

  • Industry

risk: Clinical trials in locations impacted by Covid-19 such as the US has been by Covid-19 pandemic in multiple ways (slow or suspended enrollment, difficulties in patient monitoring, delayed DRCs, etc.)

  • Clinical studies provide patients suffering from life threatening disorders such as AML and hrMDS with potential new therapeutic options – risk/benefit

management policies are mainly dependent on individual site decisions

  • Expected negative impact on enrollment – data availability in H1 2021 vs. Q4 2020 originally planned

Laboratory operations:

  • Thanks to the

early government intervention (March 12) Poland is so far one

  • f the

countries least impacted by Covid-19 in Europe (as of June 4 total of 24 826 cases and 1 117 deaths for 38 million people, peak of infections and deaths passed in April/early May)

  • Ryvu introduced the first risk Covid-19 management steps already in February and reduced laboratory operations to critical experiments

from March 30 to April 11

  • Full restart of laboratory activities on April 12 with appropriate risk management
  • Outsourcing – limited capacity at some European CROs. Key providers less impacted. Risk-management with Asian CROs.

Other industry specific risks

  • Slowed-down business development (pharma demand)
  • Market volatility and more difficult access to capital
