 Summary of Phase 1 PD, PK and Safety Study of CG001419  CG001419-101 (NCT06636500): a SAD/MAD/FE study in healthy subjects in Australia  The surrogate PD assay demonstrated DC50 and DC90 values of 2.4 nM and 18.2 nM, respectively  Single and multiple oral doses of CG001419 up to the highest dosing levels were safe and well tolerated by the healthy subjects  In the SAD/FE of the study, 72.2% had a TEAE and in the MAD 83.9% had a TEAE  Most TEAEs were considered mild or moderate at their maximum severity in both parts of the study. No Grade 4 (potentially life-threatening) TEAEs were reported  The most frequently reported TEAEs by SOC were general disorders and administration site conditions. Since the drug was administered orally, these were likely due to blood collection procedures  Following a single oral dose, the exposure to CG001419 increased in a dose-proportional manner   The food-effect cohort demonstrated a higher systemic exposure under the fed condition  For the MAD cohorts after multiple daily dosing for 7 days, exposure to CG001419, metabolite M2 and M8 increased in a less than dose-proportional manner      Single Ascending Dose (SAD) PK  Dose level 1 (n = 6)  Dose level 3 (n = 12)  Dose level 5 (n = 6)  Dose level 2 (n = 5)  Dose level 4 (n = 6)  Dose level 6 (n = 6)  Nominal Time (hours)  Concentration (ng / mL)  DC50=2.4 nM  DC90=18.2 nM  Surrogate PD assay  Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) PK (Day 7)  Dose level 5 (n = 6)  Dose level 3 (n = 6)  Dose level 6 (n = 6)  Dose level 4 (n = 6)  Nominal Time (hours)  Concentration (ng / mL)  DC90

The expansion cohorts will focus on R/R AML, HR-MDS and ALL patients with hopes of identifying the optimal cohort for subsequent Phase 2 testing.  The Phase 1a/1b data is expected to be submitted as the basis for an IND application to conduct the Phase 2 studies in the chosen disease population  Relapsed / refractory AML, HR-MDS, and ALL patients  Potential to also treat relapsed / refractory MYC-driven solid tumors  Pre-clinical leukemia models indicate strong anti-tumor activity  Summary of CG009301 for Cancer

 DAC Mechanism of Action Overview     The catalytic mechanism of action of TPDs ensures small quantity of degrader delivered by the antibody to achieve sufficient efficacy.  HIGH POTENCY  Extended half-life, reduced systemic clearance, improved solubility, and bypassing the need for oral bio-availability or cell permeability optimization.  IMPROVED pk  Reduced toxicity through dual target selectivity at the cell surface (antibody-tumor associated antigen) and intracellularly (degrader-target protein).  IMPROVED SAFETY
