ENOBOSARM 9mg (OSTARINE®; GTx-024)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM)
to treat AR+/ER+ metastatic breast cancer

Targeting the Androgen Receptor in Breast
Cancer
• Prior to the introduction of SERMs and AIs, steroidal androgens had
been more extensively used for the treatment of breast cancer
•
After the development of SERMs, androgens fell out of favor due to the
improved efficacy of SERMs, potential for the aromatization of
androgens to estrogen and the virilizing side effects of androgens
•
SARMs provide a potential new hormonal approach for the treatment
of breast cancer without the virilizing side effects of other androgens
• Enobosarm is a non-steroidal, selective androgen receptor modulator
• Binds specifically to the AR with no binding to other steroidal receptors
• Cannot be aromatized to estrogen
•
Targeting the AR in patients with metastatic breast cancer may
provide at least similar response rates as seen historically with
androgens without the unwanted side effects

Phase II, Open Label Study to Examine AR Status and the
Activity of GTx-024 Hormonal Therapy in Women with ER+

Primary Endpoint:
Key Secondary Endpoints:
Clinical Benefit (CR + PR + SD) at 6 monthsin AR+ Breast Cancer
Clinical Benefit (CR + PR + SD) at 6 months in All Subjects
PFS by Modified RECIST 1.1 or Death (at completion of trial)
Lead PI- Dr. Beth Overmoyer from Dana Farber
7 clinical sites in US have fully enrolled 22 patients (~60% enrolled by Dana Faber)
Threshold for success – 3 patients out of 14 AR+ meeting primary endpoint
6
Preliminary Results of Phase 2 Trial
• 17 out of 22 patients (77%) were AR+
• 6 of the 17 AR+ patients (35%) who received an assessment at 6
months met the clinical benefit criteria
• 7 out of 22 total patients (32%) who received an assessment at 6
months met the clinical benefit criteria
• After a median duration on study of 81 days, 9 out of 22 patients
(41%) had clinical benefit as best overall response
• Enobosarm was well tolerated with the majority (76%) of adverse
events being Grade 1; no adverse events exceeded Grade 3
• No serious adverse events were definitely related to study drug,
although one SAE has been designated as possibly related

Status Update
• Consistent with the Phase 2 trial, enobosarm demonstrated the ability
to increase LBM in both Phase 3 trials
• In the taxane study, enobosarm improved physical function as
assessed by SCP
• Enobosarm was well tolerated in both trials
• No meaningful difference was observed in the pooled analysis of
overall survival
• GTx is evaluating next steps for regulatory submission in Europe and US
11
Enobosarm
Intellectual property
• 74 enobosarm composition of matter and method of use patent
applications issued, approved, or pending in U.S. and rest of world with
expiration dates of at least 2024
– Includes issued composition of matter and method patents in US, Europe
and Japan
– Method of use patents to treat breast cancer may extend patent
coverage to 2033
• As a new chemical entity, issued composition of matter patent should
be eligible for patent term extension of up to 5 years (2029)
• GTx has 248 patents issued, approved or pending worldwide for all
SARMs, including enobosarm
12
CAPESARIS® (GTx-758)
Selective ERα agonist for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer
13
GTx-758 Unique Mechanism of Action
• Increases sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG)
• SHBG binds to and removes free testosterone (T) from the blood,
thereby decreasing levels of the active form of testosterone
• Since GTx-758 is a small molecule with estrogenic activity, it may
ameliorate the estrogen deficiency side effects that are associated
with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer
including
•
•
•
•
Increased bone turnover leading to weaker bone and fractures
Hot flashes
Metabolic changes including fat redistribution
Reduced libido and cognitive properties

Current Clinical Trial (G200712) Summary
• 125 mg dose cohort
• Enrollment complete
• No drug related SAEs or indications of vascular side effects
o Most common AE is gynecomastia (16%)
• SHBG elevated and free T decreased in >90% of patients
• Hot flashes and bone turnover biomarkers decreased
• 250 mg dose cohort
• Enrollment completion estimated Q4 2014
• Preliminary data estimated Q1 2015
• To date, no drug related SAEs or indications of vascular side effects

applications and patents, which are either issued, allowed or pending
in the US and rest of world with expiration dates of January 2029 in the
US (issued) and November 2026 in the ROW
• As a chemical entity, issued US composition of matter patent should
be eligible for additional patent term extension of up to 5 years (for a
maximum term of November 2034), as may be determined following
FDA approval of Capesaris
