The Celcuity Opportunity
1 • Gedatolisib's differentiated MOA and PK profile result in a highly potent, cytotoxic, and well tolerated PAM inhibitor
2
Very compelling data in 1L (mPFS 48 months) and 2L (mPFS 12.9 months) patients with HR+/HER2- ABC
A Phase 3 study in 2L patients is enrolling and a Phase 3 study in 1L patients is expected to begin enrolling in Q2 2025
3
Strong scientific rationale to develop gedatolisib for prostate cancer indications
Parallels between breast and prostate cancer - interdependent activity between PAM pathway and hormonal pathways
4
Uniquely positioned to advance multiple potential blockbuster indications in breast and prostate cancer
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $205M as of Q1 2025 expected to fund operations through 2026
3
One of the most important oncogenic pathways
Most highly altered of all signaling pathways1
Largest untapped drug development opportunity in solid tumors
Breast and prostate cancers involve PAM pathway
>500,000 addressable patient population in US, 5EU, and Japan
Nominal penetration of PAM drugs in these markets
PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM)
regulates key metabolic functions
Plays a key role promoting tumor cell proliferation
Cross-regulates other oncogenic pathways
Affects immune response by regulating tumor microenvironment
Proportion of alterations correlates to pathway's role as a cancer driver
PAM
38%
RAS
15%
HER2
8%
EGFR
5%

1st Gen
Oral pan-PI3K/mTOR inhibitors
Toxicity high, poor PK properties Failed in Phase 1/2
2nd Gen
Pan-PI3K inhibitors
Significant toxicity Failed in Phase 3
3rd Gen
Single-target inhibitors
Limited PFS benefit Four drugs approved
Today
Need safe, potent pan-PI3K/mTORi
If only a single target is inhibited, redundancy ensures pathway function is maintained1-9
Feedforward and feedback loops between PI3K isoforms, AKT, and mTOR cross-activates uninhibited targets1-9
Explains why 1st generation of PAM inhibitors were pan-PI3K/mTOR inhibitors
Difficult to optimize pathway inhibition without inducing undue toxicity
Early generations of orally administrated pan-PI3K or pan-PI3K/mTOR inhibitors induced unacceptable toxicity10
Led to focus on development of single-node
PAM inhibitors (e.g. PI3Kα, mTORC1, AKT)
