Positioning ProLindac™ as a Replacement for Sanofi-Aventis’ EloxatinRepresents a $3+ Billion Market Opportunity
DACH Platinum (same active in Eloxatin) is inactive while attached to polymer background
Chelator releases platinum compound in low pH environment; e.g. tumor

Monotherapy in relapsed, platinum-sensitive patients• 36 patients enrolled in six centers in France; final follow-up ongoing• Heavily treated patients (at least 3, up to 7, previous regimens)• Exploring two dosing schedules (once/two weeks and once/three weeks)
Safety – ProLindac Exhibited Very Benign Safety Profile• Patients tolerating drug well through multiple cycles (up to 10 or more)• No Eloxatin-like neurotox; no nephrotox; no hematotoxicity; no worse emesis
Efficacy and Activity – ProLindac “Outperforms” Current Best Care• At highest doses, 66.7% ProLindac patients responded; Activity levels superior to
oxali or carbo in monotherapy in similar but healthier patient populations (approx 20%)
Next Steps • Combination trials: Partners ASK and JCOM paying for three Access-designed and
managed Phase 2/3 trials: ProLindac plus taxol in recurrent ovarian and ProLindac plus Lilly’s Gemzar in liver and pancreatic cancer; additional combination studies possible in other tumor types
• Partnering discussions ongoing
