ST-001: nanoFenretinide Therapeutic Profile
Multiple Mechanisms of Action (MoA)
Including Modulation of Tumor Immunity
8
Clinical Hypothesis in CTCL: 2-prong MoA that Restores Tumor Immunity
• treats deficient adaptive immunity
 reverse cytokine suppression of CD8+ CTL TILs (likely RAR & RXR)
• treats lack of innate immunity by NK cells
 upregulates NKR ligands (likely RXR)
• plus direct action on malignant cells (RAR & DES-1/ceramide apoptosis)
• minimal side effects may be due to immune homeostasis in healthy tissues
• proven clinical activity in the treatment and prevention settings
Implications
• personalized immuno-Rx  w/o need to identify individual patient’s
antigens (unlike immuno-targeted therapeutics)
• multiple MoA’s offer advantages over first-generation retinoids (RA’s)
ST-001 Delivery and Direct Mechanism of Action
9
Systemic ST-001 nanoparticles may enter cells like Exosomes and Ectosomes
Once inside the cancer cell Fenretinide affects multiple biochemical
pathways ultimately causing cancer cell death via apoptosis
These pathways include retinoid receptors, oxygen radicals and
inhibition of ceramide (unlike retinoic acid)*
Direct Targets: RAR/RARE, DES-1, Mitochondrial
OXPHOS
Membrane Fusion

ST-001 has immense potential to have a major impact on translational and
clinical research for the treatment of cancers for which there is presently no cure.
SciTech's nanoparticle fenretinide formulation is highly original and novel.
This is strong science.
Clear and rapid path to clinical trials and market.
SciTech has an excellent team with extensive experience.
High likelihood of regulatory success for NDA from FDA.
Optimistic about market success: (1) fenretinide known to be safe with many
mechanisms of action; (2) new drug products still needed to treat large number
of incurable cancers, ST-001 is applicable and pertinent to curing these cancers.

Significance of the Recent Phase 1 Clinical Trial of Fenretinide Emulsion*
- Continuous intravenous delivery obtained high plasma drug levels
- High drug levels evidenced antitumor activity in peripheral T-cell lymphomas
- Dose limiting toxicity attributed to hypertriglyceridemia from the emulsion vehicle
- Toxicity severely limited dosing to sub-therapeutic levels
- Low strength formulation required in-patient infusions for 24 hrs. for 5 days

ST-001 safety margin
The rectangular blue region represents efficacious fenretinide dose levels (lit. values for AITL and CTCL); rectangular pink
region represents triglyceride toxicity as reported in Phase 1 trial of the fenretinide emulsion; the top two closely aligned
curves in the graph represent total lipid levels (triglyceride + phospholipid) and triglyceride levels, respectively, for
administered doses of the fenretinide emulsion; the middle curve represents the total lipid levels of ST-001 (triglyceride-
free) as the dose of fenretinide is increased; and, the bottom curve represents fenretinide doses for both ST-001 and the
fenretinide emulsion. The safety margin simply reflects the significant decrease in lipids and absence of triglycerides for
ST-001 as compared to the CerRx emulsion as one increases the fenretinide dose levels .

ST-001 is effective in slowing the growth of the DLCL2 human non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
compared to SDV (no fenretinide).
The standard first line clinical therapy for this lymphoma is the combination of
cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (hydroxydaunomycin), vincristine (Oncovin®), and
prednisone (CHOP) which strongly inhibits the growth of the DLCL2 tumor under the
conditions of this mouse model experiment.

Discovery and Opportunity SciTech Delivery Vehicle (SDV): multi-lamellar structure 7 Fenretinide Lipid Nanoparticle (ST-001 Lead Product) • SciTech’s invention − Nanoparticle drug delivery − Composed of FDA accepted phospholipids − To incorporate water insoluble drug compounds − No triglycerides used − Fenretinide 1st lead compound • Why is that important − High payload capacity for lipid soluble drugs − Biocompatible & well tolerated A patented, biocompatible, phospholipid nanoparticle platform designed for high drug loads (basis of IP)
  • 8. ST-001: nanoFenretinide Therapeutic Profile Multiple Mechanisms of Action (MoA) Including Modulation of Tumor Immunity 8 Clinical Hypothesis in CTCL: 2-prong MoA that Restores Tumor Immunity • treats deficient adaptive immunity  reverse cytokine suppression of CD8+ CTL TILs (likely RAR & RXR) • treats lack of innate immunity by NK cells  upregulates NKR ligands (likely RXR) • plus direct action on malignant cells (RAR & DES-1/ceramide apoptosis) • minimal side effects may be due to immune homeostasis in healthy tissues • proven clinical activity in the treatment and prevention settings Implications • personalized immuno-Rx  w/o need to identify individual patient’s antigens (unlike immuno-targeted therapeutics) • multiple MoA’s offer advantages over first-generation retinoids (RA’s)
  • 9. ST-001 Delivery and Direct Mechanism of Action 9 Systemic ST-001 nanoparticles may enter cells like Exosomes and Ectosomes Once inside the cancer cell Fenretinide affects multiple biochemical pathways ultimately causing cancer cell death via apoptosis These pathways include retinoid receptors, oxygen radicals and inhibition of ceramide (unlike retinoic acid)* Direct Targets: RAR/RARE, DES-1, Mitochondrial OXPHOS Membrane Fusion *Kalemkerian, G.P., et al., Growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis by fenretinide in small-cell lung cancer cell lines.
