The Mu l t i p l e Mye loma Re s ea rch

Foundation (MMRF) was founded in 1998

by identical twin sisters Kathy Giusti

and Karen Andrews following Kathy’s

diagnosis with multiple myeloma.

Since its inception, the MMRF has

remained committed to breaking

down the barriers s lowing medical

research and drug development. It has

raised more than $115 million for multiple myeloma research,

funded more than 90 research institutions, developed a diverse

research portfolio to deliver better treatments to patients faster,

and built a collaborative research model, the Multiple Myeloma

Research Consortium (MMRC), that is transforming the drug

development process from one that produces results in decades to

one that produces results in a few years.

The work of the MMRF contributed to the FDA approval of four

drugs that have helped almost double life expectancy in some

patients. Because of their success in myeloma, these same drugs are

now being explored as potential treatments for more than 20 other

cancers and diseases. Today the MMRF is funding research into 30

compounds and combination approaches that may represent the

next generation of treatments and is supporting the advancement

of high-priority clinical trials of novel compounds and combination

approaches through the MMRC.

Dear Friends,

With you by our side, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) is

making a real difference in the lives of multiple myeloma patients and their

families. We have reached incredible milestones in 2008 that are helping

patients live longer lives.

Thanks to your support, in 2008 we:

Initiated 7 new trials of novel and combination treatments through the Multiple

Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC)

Supported more than 30 compounds and approaches in clinical trials and

pre-clinical studies

Made incredible progress in advancing the Multiple Myeloma Genomics

Initiative – bringing us one step closer to the promise of personalized medicine

for multiple myeloma

I know you are just as excited as I am about the progress we are making. But, in an environment

where funding for biomedical research is diminished and the next new treatments for multiple

myeloma are not expected to be available until 2011, we must work more urgently than ever to

rapidly advance our research portfolio and immediately bridge this gap.

Because of your renewed and dedicated support, we are able to maintain our barrier-breaking

momentum and ensure that the next lifesaving treatment will be there when a patient needs it.

Thank you for your commitment and generosity.

Warmest regards,

Kathy Giusti

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Accelerating the Delivery of New Treatments

6

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) makes the most of your investment bysupporting one of the world’s most strategic and aggressive research and drug developmentportfolios. Our innovative portfolio is comprised of cutting-edge research programs in three paths —basic science, validation, and clinical trials — that represent our long-, mid-, and short-term strategyto deliver to patients the next generation of treatments. With a pay-line averaging 25 percentcompared with the National Cancer Institute’s pay-line of less than 15 percent, we make surethat no high-priority research program goes unfunded.

In 2008, the MMRF directed nearly $14 million toward its innovative research portfolio.

Basic ScienceAccelerating Personalized Medicine

Through our basic science research programs, researchers are learning more about the genes, proteins,and molecular pathways that play a role in the onset and progression of multiple myeloma and areusing that information to better understand which patients will benefit from which treatments.

Multiple Myeloma Genomics Initiative

In 2008, the Multiple Myeloma Genomics Initiative, a comprehensive genome-mapping programconducted in partnership with the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and theEli and Edythe L. Broad Institute, completed comprehensive analyses of 200 patient tissuesamples. These analyses are helping to identify potential new therapeutic targets for the disease andposition the Initiative to be the first to complete whole genome sequencing in 200 patients.Findings from the Multiple Myeloma Genomics Initiative were presented in oral presentations atthe American Society of Hematology’s (ASH) 50th Annual Meeting and Exposition, and at theAmerican Association of Cancer Research (AACR).

“The Multiple Myeloma Genomics Initiative is critical to

advance personalized medicine in myeloma — helping

us to better understand how to match the right patient

to the right drug at the right time.”

– Todd Golub, MD, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Multiple Myeloma Proteomics Initiative

The MMRF in 2008 launched the Multiple Myeloma ProteomicsInitiative with the award of a collaborative grant to the University ofArkansas for Medical Sciences, Indiana University, and the Universityof Michigan. This novel program brings together world-renownedproteomics experts with experts in the clinical and biological aspectsof multiple myeloma to identify new biomarkers for the disease.

Multiple Myeloma Cancer Stem Cell Initiative

In 2008, the MMRF and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Societypartnered to award grants to William Matsui, MD, Johns HopkinsUniversity, and Irving Weissman, MD, Stanford University, to studythe multiple myeloma cancer stem cell. These grants, developed inresponse to proceedings from the 2008 MMRF Myeloma CancerStem Cell Research Roundtable, will advance our understandingof drug resistance and relapse in patients with multiple myelomaand potentially lead to the development of targeted therapies thateffectively treat the disease.

Clinical TrialsFast-Tracking Clinical Trials

Committed to bringing patients the next generation of treatments asquickly as possible, the MMRF supports start-up activities and conductof Phase I and Phase II clinical trials compounds and combinationsagainst high-priority myeloma targets.

Biotech Investment Awards

With funding for pre-clinical research and early-stage clinical trialsextremely limited, the MMRF Biotech Investment Awards bridge acritical funding gap so that better, more effective treatments canbe developed more rapidly. The 2008 MMRF Biotech InvestmentAwards were granted to Aileron Therapeutics to support thedevelopment of its Stapled Peptide, and to Astex Therapeutics tosupport the development of its proprietary cyclin-dependentkinase (CDK) inhibitor.

Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium

The Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC), incollaboration with its partners in the pharmaceutical and biotechindustries, advanced seven clinical trials of novel compounds andcombination approaches in 2008. Data show that recent clinicaltrials conducted through the MMRC clinical trials network wereopened 30 to 40 percent faster than today’s industry andacademic standard—a significant increase enabling patients toaccess new treatments three months earlier. We attribute theseefficiencies to our strong scientific leadership, standardizedcontracts and processes, and on-site project management.

Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) Research Roundtables bring together anextraordinary assembly of researchers, scientists from the biotech and pharmaceutical industries,technology pioneers, and representatives from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thesedynamic events promote a collaborative approach to advancing multiple myeloma research to ensurethat better, more effective treatments are brought to patients as quickly as possible. In 2008, theMMRF convened three Research Roundtables.

Cancer Stem Cell Research Strategies Applications to Multiple Myeloma

This innovative Research Roundtable brought together cancer stem cell experts with leadingmyeloma researchers to gain a better understanding of the multiple myeloma cancer stemcell. Key learnings from this Roundtable were used to develop the Multiple Myeloma Cancer StemCell Initiative.

Accelerating Drug Development in Multiple Myeloma — A Workshop on Optimizing Development & Registration Strategies and Opportunities & Challenges in the Myeloma Drug Development Process

This exciting, two-day Roundtable brought together representatives from more than 20 biotechcompanies with the FDA to discuss regulatory opportunities to advance compounds in their pipelinethat show potential in treating multiple myeloma. Citing the MMRF and MMRC’s success in workingwith biotech companies, participants developed strategies to facilitate clinical trial development andenrollment and to accelerate IRB approvals. The second day of the event was a smaller meetingwhere participants discussed business solutions the MMRF and MMRC could implement to removebarriers slowing drug development and accelerate the delivery of new treatments to patients.
