Overview

Three late stage clinical programs
 Enobosarm 3 mg (Ostarine ®; GTx-024), an oral SARM, for the prevention and treatment of
muscle wasting in patients with non-small cell lung cancer:
 13 clinical trials completed to date involving approximately 1325 subjects
 Completed two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials with approximately 650 non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) patients
 Met with FDA February 2014- may move forward with additional Phase 3 program
 Met with national authorities from 2 EMA member countries January 2014- will file MAA in
Europe by Q1 2015
 Enobosarm 9 mg (Ostarine ®; GTx-024), an oral SARM, for the treatment of advanced AR and
ER positive breast cancer:
 Phase 2 open label, dose finding clinical trial fully enrolled 22 patients- data expected Q3 2014
 Capesaris®(GTx-758), an oral selective ER alpha agonist, for secondary hormonal treatment
of advanced prostate cancer:
3
 Eight clinical trials conducted to date involving approximately 500 subjects
 Phase 2 G200712 open label, dose finding clinical trial for secondary hormonal treatment in men
with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)- completed enrollment of 125mg arm with
metastatic CRPC and now enrolling 250mg arm with nonmetastatic and metastatic CRPC
 Met with FDA on Nov 14, 2013 for Capesaris® for the indication of first secondary hormonal
therapy for nmCRPC
Enobosarm (Ostarine®; GTx-024)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM)
for the prevention and treatment of muscle wasting
4
Cancer induced muscle wasting is a serious
unmet medical need



5
Cancer induced wasting begins early in the
course of malignancy
At diagnosis,46.8% of lung cancer patients have
severe muscle wasting
After diagnosis, an additional 65% of lung
cancer patients will experience muscle wasting



Physical functional limitation is a strong
predictor of all-cause mortality
57% of cancer patients with muscle wasting
exhibit physical function limitations
88% of lung cancer survivors experience
physical function limitations

Conclusions

Phase 3 G300504-Platinum+taxane is a positive study using continuous variable analysis
 Declines in both lean body mass and stair climb power were observed in placebo group
 Statistical and clinically meaningful differences between GTx-024 and placebo were
observed for both lean body mass (muscle) and stair climb test (physical function)

Phase 3 G300505-Platinum+nontaxane is a supportive study using continuous variable analysis
 Declines in lean body mass and stair climb power were observed in placebo group
 Statistically and clinically meaningful differences between GTx-024 and placebo were
observed for lean body mass (muscle)
 Different populations and chemotherapy side effects (anemia & vomiting) appear to explain
physical function responses

GTx-024 was very well tolerated in both trials
 Minor differences in AEs between enobosarm and placebo add on groups were observed
10
Conclusions
(continued)
•
The apparent correlation between maintaining or increasing lean body mass and increased
survival adds support for enobosarm treatment in NSCLC patients
• Enobosarm maintains and builds muscle better than chemotherapy alone

Totality of the data from these two Phase 3 studies and the Phase 2b G200502 study support
the efficacy and safety of GTx-024 (enobosarm) for the indication of Prevention and treatment of
muscle wasting in patients with advanced NSCLC treated with platinum plus taxane
chemotherapy
11
Next steps
 Met with FDA February 2014
 GTx may move forward after we agree upon design and complete Phase 3
program
 Met with national authorities in EMA in January 2014
 Can file MAA with completed single positive Phase 3 clinical study and
Phase 3 supportive clinical study for the indication of prevention and
treatment of muscle wasting in non small cell lung cancer patients on
taxanes
 Standard EMA guidance requires:
 Phase 1 DDI and Phase 1 QT study for drug labeling will be completed by Q3
2014
 Completed Phase 1s: renal impairment study, hepatic impairment study, and
mass balance study
 Pediatric investigational plan to be agreed upon by Q4 2014
 MAA will be filed by Q1 2015
 Meet with Japanese regulatory – PMDA in 2H 2014

AR+/ER+ metastatic breast cancer
Summary
•Androgens are effective in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer
•Androgens that have been used include androstenedione, testosterone,
medroxyprogesterone, DHEA/DHEAS, fluoxymesterone, and mibolerone
•Regression and overall response rates in unknown receptor status patients have
been reported between 20-44% with pain relief and increase in well being
•Concerns
•Side effects in women, especially virilization, limits the use of androgens
•Possibility of some androgens being aromatized to estrogens
•Targeting the AR in patients with AR+ metastatic breast cancer who have
responded, but then failed other hormone therapy with a SARM like enobosarm
may potentially provide at least similar response rates as seen with androgens
without the unwanted side effects
•Finding a biomarker like increased serum PSA to determine PSA response will
also facilitate clinical development

women with AR+/ER+ metastatic breast cancer who previously
