TAPIMMUNE INC.
Immunotherapy is the new frontier in cancer therapy
• Human immune system is largest manufacturer of
therapeutic molecules
• Immunotherapy enhances the immune system to identify,
fight and eradicate disease
• TapImmune has the leading and most comprehensive
approach to stimulate T-cells and enhance antigen
presentation
• Applicable to cancer (including metastatic disease) and
infectious disease across broad patient populations
• Simple injectable products

Product Pipeline
Lead Product TPIV 100/110:
HER2/neu Breast Cancer
• HER2/neu is overexpressed in ~ 30% breast cancer patients
(total 220,000 /yr)
• Roche’s monoclonal antibody, Herceptin (current standard of
care) can only treat ~ 20% of these patients (+$6 billion sales
in 2013)
• Herceptin does not stimulate Killer T-cells – it slows/retards
tumor growth
• Potential for TPIV’s vaccine to:
• provide long lasting immune response in up to 84% of the HER2/neu
positive patient population.
• Ability to kill tumor cells and treat metastatic disease
TPIV 100 Clinical Status
Her2neu Breast Cancer - Mayo Clinic Rochester MN
Phase l
• Class II antigens (TPIV 100: 4 antigens) discovered in breast
cancer patients - Clin. Cancer Res. (2010) 16, 825-83
• 22 Patients post Herceptin
• 6 x monthly intradermal + GMCSF
 Well tolerated
 Safety and Immune responses on all patients
 Trial successful and vaccine stimulates immune system as
predicted
TPIV 100/110 Clinical Status
Phase ll:
Class II + Class I antigens
•

•
Clinical team & multiple clinical centers identified
150-300 patient study
Manufacturing & formulation underway
Clinical protocol in final review (statistician; breast cancer experts)
Pre IND request ready for submission
PreIND meeting and IND filing in Q1-Q2, 2015
Collaboration with VGTI Florida announced
TPIV 110 +TPIV 100
The leading HER2/neu technology platform in clinical development
• Discovery in lab of Dr Keith Knutson (Mayo)
• T-killer cell antigen (p373-382: TPIV110)
licensed from Mayo Clinic
• 4-5x greater killing activity against human
breast cancer cells than NeuVax (E-75 from
Galena)
• Work published in J. Immunol. (2013) 190,
479-488
TPIV200 – Folate Receptor Alpha Antigens
Ovarian & Breast Cancer
• Folate Receptor Alpha is expressed over 95% of ovarian cancers, for which
the only treatment options are surgery and chemotherapy
• Also expressed in Triple Negative Breast Cancer
• Urgent clinical need for a new therapeutics.
• Time to recurrence is relatively short for this type of cancer and survival
prognosis is extremely poor after recurrence.
• US alone, approximately 30,000 ovarian cancer patients newly diagnosed
every year.
• Orphan Drug Application
• $ Multi-Billion product potential
TPIV 200 Clinical Status
Stage II/IIl Ovarian & Breast Cancer - Mayo Clinic MN
22 patients with Stage II-III Breast, Ovarian, Peritoneal, Fallopian
Tube Cancer
 Interim safety checkpoint completed
 Positive Immune responses observed
Promising Interim Results – Support progression to Phase ll
Pre-IND Phase ll meeting Q1 2015
Phase ll Expected to Start in Q1-Q2 2015 with Orphan Drug Application
PolyStart™ DNA Expression Vector
• Enhanced synthesis of a peptide antigen array (PAA)
comprising multiple proprietary T-cell peptide epitopes
• Up to 4x conventional protein expression
• Vaccine technology - rapid plug-and-play design
• Used with T-cell peptide based immunization strategies (e.g.,
prime and boost)
• Can be co-expressed with transporter protein known as TAP1 to
unmask hidden antigens
• Simple and cost-effective manufacturing
• New IP filed
Infectious Disease
Platform Technologies with Infinite Opportunities
High Global Priority for Vaccine Development for Emerging Threats
Ebola, Dengue, West Nile, Bird Flu, Smallpox
TAPvax:
Smallpox vaccine up to 100 times more effective
PolyStart™: Rapid vaccine development for emerging threats
TPIV 300:
Prototype peptide vaccine for smallpox (Mayo)
