About Kazia Therapeutics Limited
Kazia Therapeutics Limited (ASX: KZA, NASDAQ: KZIA) is an innovative oncology-focused biotechnology company, based in Sydney, Australia. Our pipeline includes two clinical-stage drug development candidates, and we are working to develop therapies across a range of oncology indications.
Our lead program is paxalisib (GDC-0084), a small molecule inhibitor of the PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat glioblastoma, the most common and most aggressive form of primary brain cancer in adults. Licensed from Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib entered a phase II clinical trial in 2018. Interim data was reported in November 2019, and further data is expected in 1H 2020. Paxalisib was granted orphan designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in February 2018.
TRX-E-002-1 (Cantrixil), is a third-generation benzopyran molecule with activity against cancer stem cells and is being developed to treat ovarian cancer. TRX-E-002-1 is currently undergoing a phase I clinical trial in Australia and the United States. Interim data was presented at the ESMO Congress in September 2019, and the study remains ongoing. Cantrixil was granted orphan designation for ovarian cancer by the US FDA in April 2015.
This announcement was authorized for release to the ASX by James Garner, Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director.

A broad-based clinical program is underway across multiple forms of brain cancer Glioblastoma Most common and most aggressive brain tumour Phase II NCT03522298 Glioblastoma (planned pivotal study for approval [in set-up]) Phase II / III NCT03970447 Brain Metastases Cancer that has spread from any primary tumour Phase II NCT03994796 Breast Cancer Brain Mets (combination with Herceptin®) Phase II NCT03765983 Brain Metastases (combination with radiotherapy) Phase I NCT04192981 Primary Brain Cancer (brain cancer that begins in the brain) Secondary Brain Cancer (brain cancer that spreads from elsewhere in the body) Paxalisib (GDC-0084) Funded by Kazia Funded Primarily Through Partnerships and External Funding DIPG Highly aggressive childhood brain tumour Phase I NCT03696355
Paxalisib is currently in a phase 2a study in newly-diagnosed GBM; aim to start pivotal study in 2020 Note: timelines are estimated and subject to periodic revision based on recruitment performance and treatment effect Step 1: Dose Optimisation 6 – 24 patients 12 months 20 patients 6 months Step 2: Expansion Cohort Newly-diagnosed patients with the unmethylated MGMT promotor (i.e. resistant to temozolomide) Paxalisib administered once daily, orally, as monotherapy in place of temozolomide Primary objective is dose determination (Step 1) and time to progression (Step 2) Primary objective is to determine the appropriate dose for newly-diagnosed patients (phase 1 was in end-stage patients) Primary objective is to generate supportive data for FDA and to provide confirmatory signals of efficacy in newly-diagnosed population Complete Top-line data reported May 2019 Dose of 60mg determined (higher than 45mg dose found in phase I) ü Ongoing Completion of recruitment anticipated in 4Q CY2019 Data unlikely to be rate-limiting for pivotal study
Interim analysis of the phase 2 study shows evidence of delaying tumour progression Note: figures for existing therapy are for temozolomide, per Hegi et al. (2005); comparison between different studies is never perfectly like-for-like Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Overall Survival (OS) 8.4 months Median PFS 5.3 months Median PFS Paxalisib Existing Therapy 12.7 months Median OS Paxalisib Existing Therapy Not yet reached (75% of patients still alive)

The St Jude study in DIPG has the potential for breakthrough designation and early approval Step 1: Dose Escalation 6 – 24 patients 12 patients Step 2: Expansion Cohort All patients with DIPG or high-grade gliomas (2 – 22 years of age), following radiotherapy Paxalisib given once daily, orally, as monotherapy Primary objective is dose determination (Step 1) and time to progression (Step 2) Given no FDA-approved therapies for DIPG, a successful result could lead to discussion of early approval Primary objective is to determine the appropriate dose for pediatric use (mg/kg dosing) Primary objective is to provide initial evidence of clinical efficacy Not Yet Started Complete Top-line data reported Sept 2019 Dose of 27 mg/m2 determined (comparable dose and safety profile to adult studies) ü
GBM AGILE is an adaptive multi-drug registrational study, with strong FDA support Randomization Drug #2 Drug #3, etc… Drug #1 Common Control Arm Comparison against a common control arm reduces overall subject numbers, saving time and cost (no drug vs. drug comparison) Adaptive study design limits number of subjects to that required to demonstrate efficacy, eliminating redundancy Economies of scale due to multiple participating drugs allows for large site pool, robust study infrastructure, and reduced cost 1 2 3
GBM AGILE features a two-stage design Stage 1 (Phase II) upto 150 patients 50 patients Stage 2 (Phase III) Primary endpoint of both stages is overall survival (OS); final analysis performed on all patients from both stages, compared to all control patients recruited to date Stage 1 is the primary efficacy analysis; Stage 2 is a confirmatory component Study is designed to provide definitive data to support product registration if a candidate drug is efficacious Current Status GBM AGILE: Recruiting Paxalisib Participation: In planning, with enrolment expected to commence in Q2 / Q3 CY2020 Sponsored by Global Coalition for Adaptive Research (GCAR), a 501(c)(3) non-profit Paxalisib expected to be second drug to join the study Extensive funding support from National Brain Tumor Society, Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, and other bodies
