Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

SeptemberJune 30, 20172022

(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Celldex”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. In June 2017, the Company liquidated its wholly-owned subsidiary, Celldex Therapeutics Europe GmbH. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016,2021, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2017.February 28, 2022. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The year-end condensed balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2022.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $140.5$356.8 million. The Company has had recurring losses and incurred a loss of $89.2$59.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022. Net cash used in operations for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 was $80.4$46.8 million. The Company believes that the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at November 7, 2017the filing date of this Form 10-Q will be sufficient to meet estimated working capital requirements and fund planned operations for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

During the next twelve months and beyond, the Company willmay take further steps to raise additional capital to meet its long-term liquidity needs. These capital raising activities may include,needs including, but may not be limited to, one or more of the following: the licensing of drug candidates with existing or new collaborative partners, possible business combinations, issuance of debt, or the issuance of common stock or other securities via private placements or public offerings. WhileAlthough the Company may seekhas been successful in raising capital through a number of means,in the past, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and the Company’s negotiating position in capital-raising efforts may worsen as existing resources are used. There is also no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into further collaborative relationships. Additional equity financings may be dilutive to the Company’s stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to operate as a business; and licensing or strategic collaborations may result in royalties or other terms which reduce the Company’s economic potential from products under development. The Company’s ability to continue funding its planned operations into and beyond twelve months from the issuance date is also dependent on the timing and manner of payment of future contingent milestones fromamounts due under the Kolltan acquisition,Settlement Agreement with Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”) (refer to Note 13), in the event that the Company achieves the drug candidate milestones related to those payments. The Company, at its option, may decide to pay those milestone payments in cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof. If the Company is unable to raise the funds necessary to meet its long-term liquidity needs, it may have to delay or discontinue the development of one or more programs, discontinue or delay ongoing or anticipated clinical trials, license out programs earlier than expected, raise funds at a significant discount or on other unfavorable terms, if at all, or sell all or a part of the Company.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact in the US and around the world. The availability of vaccines holds promise for the future, though new variants of the virus and potential waning immunity from vaccines may result in continued impact from this pandemic in the future, which could adversely impact our operations. To date, we have managed delays and disruptions without significant impact in planned and ongoing preclinical and clinical trials, manufacturing or shipping. Potential impacts to our business include delays in planned and ongoing preclinical and clinical trials including enrollment of patients, disruptions in time and resources provided by independent clinical investigators, contract research organizations, and other third-party service providers, temporary closures of our facilities, disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel, and delays in manufacturing and/or shipments to and from third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for APIs and drug product. Any prolonged negative impacts to our business could materially impact our operating results and could lead to impairments of our intangible in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets with a carrying value of $27.2 million at June 30, 2022.

(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periodthree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for the adoption of new accounting standards during the first nine months of 2017 as discussed below.2021.

Newly-Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine stock-based compensation expense. Upon adoption, the Company’s gross deferred tax assets and corresponding valuation allowance each increased by $17.7 million related to tax deductions from the exercise of stock options that previously would have been credited to additional paid-in-capital when realized.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. A goodwill impairment will be measured by the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, with the amount of impairment not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards BoardFASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2014,June 2016, the FASB issued a new U.S GAAP accountingguidance on the Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the standard that updates guidance and disclosure requirements for recognizing revenue. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expectsnow requires allowances to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The newrecorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and can be applied using one of two methods: retrospectively to each prior period presented or a modified retrospective application by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment as a component of equity as of the date of adoption. The Company expects to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective application method. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company plans to finalize its assessments over the impact that these standards may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company plans to implement additional processes and controls, including additional disclosures, to comply with the new standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new U.S. GAAP guidance which clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for the company on January 1, 2018.2023. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.

The valuation technique used to measure fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities, which consist of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Kolltan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Kolltan") in 2016, (Note 11), was primarily an income approach. The Company may be required to pay future consideration of up to $172.5 million that is contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory approvals or sales-based milestone events. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration are estimates including probability of success, discount rates and amount of time until the conditions of the milestone payments are met.

During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the Company recorded a $4.6$6.3 million and a $0.2$6.9 million gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, respectively, primarily due to the Company's decision to deprioritize the CDX-1140 program. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a reduction in$0.3 million and $0.7 million loss on fair value attributed to the milestones related to the Company’s anti-KIT program and partially offset by losses relatedremeasurement of contingent consideration, respectively, primarily due to changes in discount rates and the passage of time affecting remaining milestones.time.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”)&D related to the development of glembatumumab vedotin acquired in connection with the CuraGen acquisition and the development of the anti-KIT program, CDX-3379 and the TAM programs acquiredincluding barzolvolimab (also referred to as CDX-0159), which was recorded in connection with the Kolltan acquisition. Barzolvolimab is in Phase 2 development. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, no2022, the IPR&D asset related to the anti-KIT program had not reached technological feasibility nor did anythe asset have alternative future uses.

The Company performs an impairment test on IPR&D assets at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that IPR&D assets may be impaired. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the

Company recorded a non-cash partial impairment charge of $13.0 million on the anti-KIT program IPR&D assets acquired from Kolltan. The Company determined that changes in projected development and regulatory timelines related to the anti-KIT program taken together constituted a triggering event that required the Company to evaluate the intangible asset for impairment. As part of this evaluation, the present value of probability adjusted estimated net future cash flows was used to determine the fair value of the program and compared to the carrying value of the program. As a result of this impairment assessment, the Company concluded that a non-cash partial impairment charge of $13.0 million on the anti-KIT program IPR&D asset acquired from Kolltan be recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 for the amount the fair value of the anti-KIT program exceeded its carrying amount.

Due to the nature of IPR&D projects, the Company may experience future delays or failures to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, failures of such clinical trials or other failures to achieve a commercially viable product, and as a result, may recognize further impairment losses in the future.

(13)(12)  Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding restricted stock that has been issued but is not yet vested. Diluted net loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period when the effect is dilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share because dilutive shares of common stock are not assumed to have been issued as their effect is anti-dilutive. The potentially dilutive common shares that have not been included in the net loss per common share calculations because the effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

(13)  Kolltan Acquisition

On November 29, 2016, the Company acquired all of the share and debt interests of Kolltan, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, in exchange for 1,217,200 shares of the Company’s common stock plus contingent consideration in the form of development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones (“Kolltan Milestones”) of up to $172.5 million payable in cash, in shares of Celldex’s common stock or a combination of both, in the sole discretion of Celldex and subject to provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 1, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”).

In October 2019, the Company received a letter from Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”), the hired representative of the former stockholders of Kolltan, notifying the Company that it objected to the Company’s characterization of the development, regulatory approval and sales-based Kolltan Milestones relating to CDX-0158 as having been abandoned and contending instead that the related milestone payments are due from Celldex to the Kolltan stockholder.

Table of Contents

On August 18, 2020, Celldex filed a Verified Complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against SRS (acting in its capacity as the representative of the former stockholders of Kolltan pursuant to the Merger Agreement) seeking declaratory relief with respect to the rights and obligations of the parties relating to certain contingent milestone payments under the Merger Agreement relating to the discontinued CDX-0158 program (the “Litigation”).

On June 20, 2022, the Company entered into a binding settlement term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with SRS, related to the Litigation, which, upon execution of a definitive settlement agreement and the payment of the Initial Payment (as defined below), would result in the joint dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims and counterclaims in the Litigation. The definitive settlement agreement between the Company and SRS was executed on July 15, 2022 (the “Settlement Agreement”) and the Company and SRS jointly filed a Stipulation of Dismissal with prejudice relating to the Litigation on July 19, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the Term Sheet and the Settlement Agreement, all milestone payments provided for by the Merger Agreement are replaced in their entirety with the following payments, each of which is payable only once:

(i)The Company paid $15,000,000 upon execution of the Settlement Agreement (the “Initial Payment”).

(ii)The Company shall pay $15,000,000 upon the Successful Completion (as defined in the Term Sheet) of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of CDX-0159, subject to the $2,500,000 contractual credit as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

(iii)The Company shall pay $52,500,000 upon the first United States Food and Drug Administration or European Medicines Agency, or, in each case, any successor organization, regulatory approval of a Surviving Company Product (as defined the Term Sheet).

The above payment obligations replace, in their entirety, the contingent consideration in the form of development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones of up to $172.5 million contained in the Merger Agreement.

Under the Settlement Agreement, each of the Company and SRS provided broad mutual releases of all claims relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, all claims brought in the Litigation or that could have been brought in the Litigation.

The Company elected to pay the Initial Payment in cash. A litigation settlement payable of $15.0 million has been recorded as of June 30, 2022 related to the Initial Payment. Any future milestone payments related to the CDX-0159 program, which was subject to the Litigation, will be recorded when and if payment becomes probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with the loss contingency model under ASC 450. Milestones related to the remaining Surviving Company Products are measured at fair value (refer to Note 3). When and if any of the remaining payments described above become due, they shall be payable, at the Company’s sole election, in either cash or stock (as set forth in the Merger Agreement) or a combination thereof.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “can,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “predict,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future.

There are a number of important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us. These factors include, but are not limited to:

our dependence on product candidates, which are still in an early development stage;
our ability to successfully complete research and further development, including preclinical and clinical studies, and, if we obtain regulatory approval, commercialization of our drug candidates and the growth of the markets for those drug candidates;
our anticipated timing for preclinical development, regulatory submissions, commencement and completion of clinical trials and product approvals;
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business or on the economy generally;
whether the COVID-19 pandemic will affect the timing of the completion of our planned and/or currently ongoing preclinical/clinical trials;
our ability to negotiate strategic partnerships, where appropriate, for our drug candidates;
our ability to manage multiple clinical trials for a variety of drug candidates at different stages of development;
the cost, timing, scope and results of ongoing preclinical and clinical testing;
our expectations of the attributes of our product and development candidates, including pharmaceutical properties, efficacy, safety and dosing regimens;
the cost, timing and uncertainty of obtaining regulatory approvals for our drug candidates;
the availability, cost, delivery and quality of clinical management services provided by our clinical research organization partners;
the availability, cost, delivery and quality of clinical and commercial-grade materials produced by our own manufacturing facility or supplied by contract manufacturers, suppliers and partners;
our ability to develop and commercialize products before competitors that are superior to the alternatives developed by such competitors;

our ability to develop technological capabilities, including identification of novel and clinically important targets, exploiting our existing technology platforms to develop new drug candidates and expand our focus to broader markets for our existing targeted therapeutics;
the cost of paying the future milestones, if any, under the Settlement Agreement with SRS;
our ability to raise sufficient capital to fund our preclinical and clinical studies and to meet our long-term liquidity needs, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise the funds necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue the development of one or more programs, discontinue or delay ongoing or anticipated clinical trials, license out programs earlier than expected, raise funds at significant discount or on other unfavorable terms, if at all, or sell all or part of our business;

OVERVIEW

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the developmentdedicated to developing therapeutic monoclonal and commercialization of several immunotherapy technologies and other cancer-targeting biologics.bispecific antibodies that address diseases for which available treatments are inadequate. Our drug candidates including antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and other protein-basedinclude antibody-based therapeutics are derived from a broad set of complementary technologies which have the ability to engage the human immune system and/or directly inhibit tumorsaffect critical pathways to treat specific typesimprove the lives of cancer or other diseases.patients with inflammatory diseases and many forms of cancer.

Our latest stage drug candidate, glembatumumab vedotin (also referred to as CDX-011) is a targeted antibody-drug conjugate in a randomized, Phase 2b study for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer and a Phase 2 study for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Varlilumab (also referred to as CDX-1127) is an immune modulating antibody that is designed to enhance a patient’s immune response against cancer. We established proof of principle in a Phase 1 study with varlilumab, which supported the initiation of combination studies in various indications. We also have a number of earlier stage drug candidates in clinical development, including CDX-3379, a human monoclonal antibody designed to block the activity of ErbB3 (HER3) in solid tumors; CDX-014, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting renal and ovarian cancers; CDX-1401, a targeted immunotherapeutic aimed at antigen presenting cells, or APCs, for cancer indications; and, CDX-301, an immune cell mobilizing agent and dendritic cell growth factor. Our drug candidates address market opportunities for which we believe current therapies are inadequate or non-existent.

We are buildingfocusing our efforts and resources on the continued research and development of:

Barzolvolimab (also referred to as CDX-0159), a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the KIT receptor and potently inhibits its activity, is currently being studied across multiple mast cell driven diseases including:
-Chronic Urticarias: In June and July 2022 respectively, we announced that enrollment had opened and the first patients had been dosed in Phase 2 studies in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU). Positive interim data from the ongoing Phase 1b study in CSU were reported in July 2022. Positive interim data from the Phase 1b study in CIndU were reported in July and September 2021 in patients with cold urticaria and symptomatic dermographism;

-Prurigo Nodularis (PN): In December 2021 we announced that the first patient had been dosed in a Phase 1b study in PN; and

-Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE): We plan to initiate a Phase 2 study in EoE by the end of 2022.

CDX-527, a bispecific antibody that uses our proprietary highly active anti-PD-L1 and CD27 human antibodies to couple CD27 co-stimulation with blockade of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway, for which we initiated a Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumors in August 2020.

We routinely work with external parties to collaboratively advance our drug candidates. In addition to Celldex-led studies, we also have an Investigator Initiated Research (IIR) program with multiple studies ongoing with our drug candidates.

Our goal is to build a fully integrated, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops important therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. OurWe believe our program assets provide us with the strategic options to either retain full economic rights to our innovative therapies or seek favorable economic terms through advantageous commercial partnerships. This approach allows us to maximize the overall value of our technology and product portfolio while best ensuring the expeditious development of each individual product.

The expenditures that will be necessary to execute our business plan are subject to numerous uncertainties. Completion of clinical trials may take several years or more, and the length of time generally varies substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a productdrug candidate. It is not unusual for the clinical development of these types of productdrug candidates to

each take five years or more, and for total development costs to exceed $100 million for each productdrug candidate. We estimate that clinical trials of the type we generally conduct are typically completed over the following timelines:

The duration and the cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during the clinical trial protocol, including, among others, the following:

the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trial;
the duration of patient follow-up that seems appropriate in view of results;
the number of clinical sites included in the trials;
the length of time required to enroll suitable patient subjects; and
the efficacy and safety profile of the drug candidate.

·                  the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trial;

·                  the duration of patient follow-up that seems appropriate in view of results;

·                  the number of clinical sites included in the trials;

·                  the length of time required to enroll suitable patient subjects; and

·                  the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate.

We test potential productdrug candidates in numerous preclinical studies for safety, toxicology and immunogenicity. We may then conduct multiple clinical trials for each productdrug candidate. As we obtain results from trials, we may elect to discontinue or delay clinical trials for certain productdrug candidates in order to focus our resources on more promising productdrug candidates.

An element of our business strategy is to pursue the discovery, research and development of a broad portfolio of productdrug candidates. This is intended to allow us to diversify the risks associated with our research and development expenditures. To the extent we are unable to maintain a broad range of productdrug candidates, our dependence on the success of one or a few productdrug candidates increases.

Regulatory approval is required before we can market our productdrug candidates as therapeutic products. In order to proceed to subsequent clinical trial stages and to ultimately achieve regulatory approval, the regulatory agencyagencies must conclude that our clinical data demonstrate that our product candidates are safe and effective. Historically, the results from preclinical testing and early clinical trials (through Phase 2) have often not been predictive of results obtained in later clinical trials. A number of new drugs and biologics have shown promising results in early clinical trials but subsequently failed to establish sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain necessary regulatory approvals.

Furthermore, our business strategy includes the option of entering into collaborative arrangements with third parties to complete the development and commercialization of our productdrug candidates. In the event that third parties take over the clinical trial process for one of our productdrug candidates, the estimated completion date would largely be under control of that third party rather than us. We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which proprietary products, if any, will be subject to future collaborative arrangements, in whole or in part, and how such arrangements would affect our development plan or capital requirements. Our programs may also benefit from subsidies, grants, contracts or government or agency-sponsored studies that could reduce our development costs.

As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, among others, it is difficult to accurately estimate the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when, if ever, and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of a product. Our inability to complete our research and development projects in a timely manner or our failure to enter into collaborative agreements, when appropriate, could significantly increase our capital requirements and could adversely impact our liquidity. These uncertainties could force us to seek additional, external sources of financing from time to time in order to continue with our business strategy. Our inability to raise additional capital, or to do so on terms reasonably acceptable to us, would jeopardize the future success of our business.

During the past five years through December 31, 2016,2021, we incurred an aggregate of $422.1$301.1 million in research and development expenses. The following table indicates the amount incurred for each of our significant research programs and for other identified research and development activities during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021. The amounts disclosed in the following table reflect direct research and development costs, license fees associated with the underlying technology and an allocation of indirect research and development costs to each program.

Glembatumumab VedotinThe COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact in the US and around the world. The availability of vaccines holds promise for the future, though new variants of the virus and potential waning immunity from vaccines may result in continued impact from this pandemic in the future, which could adversely impact our operations. To date, we have managed delays and disruptions without significant impact in planned and ongoing preclinical and clinical trials, manufacturing or shipping. Potential impacts to our business include delays in planned and ongoing preclinical and clinical trials including enrollment of patients, disruptions in time and resources provided by independent clinical investigators, contract research organizations, and other third-party service providers, temporary closures of our facilities, disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to travel, and delays in manufacturing and/or shipments to and from third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for APIs and drug product.

Barzolvolimab (also referred to as gpNMB,CDX-0159)

Barzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT and potently inhibits its activity. KIT is over-expressedexpressed in a variety of cancerscells, including breast cancer, melanoma, non-smallmast cells, and its activation by its ligand SCF regulates mast cell lung cancer, uveal melanomagrowth, differentiation, survival, chemotaxis and osteosarcoma, among others. The ADC technology, comprised of MMAE and a stable linker system for attaching it to CR011, was licensed from Seattle Genetics, Inc. and is the same as that used in the marketed product Adcetris®. The ADCdegranulation. Barzolvolimab is designed to block KIT activation by disrupting both SCF binding and KIT dimerization. We believe that by targeting KIT, barzolvolimab may be stableable to inhibit mast cell activity and decrease mast cell numbers to provide potential clinical benefit in mast cell related diseases.

In certain inflammatory diseases, such as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), also known as chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) and chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), mast cell degranulation plays a central role in the bloodstream. Followingonset and progression of the disease. In June 2020, we completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose escalation Phase 1a study of barzolvolimab in healthy subjects (n=32; 8 subjects per cohort, 6 barzolvolimab; 2 placebo). Subjects received a single intravenous administration, glembatumumab vedotin targetsinfusion of barzolvolimab at 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, or 9.0 mg/kg or placebo. The objectives of the study included safety and bindstolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (tryptase and stem cell factor) and immunogenicity. Tryptase is an enzyme synthesized and secreted almost exclusively by mast cells and decreases in plasma tryptase levels are believed to gpNMB,reflect a systemic reduction in mast cell burden in both healthy volunteers and upon internalizationin disease. Data from the study were featured in a late breaking presentation at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Annual Congress 2020 in June. Barzolvolimab demonstrated a favorable safety profile as well as profound and durable reductions of plasma tryptase, consistent with systemic mast cell suppression.

These data supported expansion of the barzolvolimab program into mast cell driven diseases, including initially in CSU and CIndU, diseases where mast cell degranulation plays a central role in the targeted cell, glembatumumab vedotinonset and progression of the disease. The prevalence of CSU and CIndU is approximately 0.5-1% of the total population or up to 1 to 3 million patients in the United States alone (Weller et al. 2010. Hautarzt. 61(8), Bartlett et al. 2018. DermNet. Org). CSU presents as itchy hives, angioedema or both for at least six weeks without a specific trigger; multiple episodes can play out over years or even decades. About 50% of patients with CSU achieve symptomatic control with antihistamines or leukotriene receptor antagonists. Omalizumab, an IgE inhibitor, provides relief for roughly half of the remaining antihistamine/leukotriene refractory patients. Consequently, there is a need for additional therapies. CIndUs are forms of urticaria that have an attributable cause or trigger associated with them, typically resulting in hives or wheals. We are exploring cold-induced, dermographism (scratch-induced) and cholinergic (exercise-induced) urticarias. In June and July 2022 respectively, we announced the initiation of Phase 2 studies in both CSU and CIndU.

In October 2020, we announced that enrollment had opened and the first patient had been dosed in a Phase 1b multi-center study of barzolvolimab in CSU. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to release MMAE from CR011assess the safety of multiple ascending doses of barzolvolimab in up to produce a cell-killing effect. Glembatumumab vedotin40 patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite treatment with antihistamines. Secondary and exploratory objectives include pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments, including measurement of tryptase and stem cell factor levels and clinical activity outcomes (impact on urticaria symptoms, disease control, clinical response) as well as quality of life assessments. Barzolvolimab is being studied across multiple indications in company-sponsored trials and in collaborative studies with external parties. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has granted Fast Track designation to glembatumumab vedotin for the treatment of advanced, refractory/resistant gpNMB-expressing breast cancer. A companion diagnostic is in development for certain indications, and we expect that, if necessary, such a companion diagnostic must be approved by the FDA or certain other foreign regulatory agencies before glembatumumab vedotin may be commercialized in those indications.

Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer:  The Phase 1/2 study of glembatumumab vedotin administered intravenously once every three weeks evaluated(0.5, 1.5, 3 and 4.5 mg/kg at varying dosing schedules) as add on treatment to H1-antihistamines, either alone or in combination with H2-antihistamines and/or leukotriene receptor agonists.

In June 2022, we reported positive interim data from the CSU study. As of the data cut-off on May 23, 2022, 34 patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) whoCSU were enrolled and treated [26 barzolvolimab (n=9 in 0.5 mg/kg; n=8 in 1.5 mg/kg; n=9 in 3.0 mg/kg) and 8 placebo]. The 0.5 mg/kg and 1.5 mg/kg cohorts had received prior therapy (mediancompleted study participation through 24 weeks; 7 of seven prior regimens). Results were published12 patients in the Journal3.0 mg/kg cohort had completed week 12; enrollment in the 4.5 mg/kg cohort was ongoing. Adverse events through data cutoff and hematology data through week 12 were included for all dose groups; clinical activity and tryptase data were included through week 12 for 0.5 mg/kg and 1.5 mg/kg, and through week 8 for 3 mg/kg (ongoing; reflecting the administration of Clinical Oncologyonly one dose). Data shows that barzolvolimab results in September 2014. The study beganrapid, marked and durable responses in patients with a bridging phasemoderate to confirmsevere CSU refractory to antihistamines, including patients with prior omalizumab treatment.

Patients with prior omalizumab therapy had similar symptom improvement as all patients.

All three doses of barzolvolimab markedly improved urticaria symptoms and disease control, with rapid improvement in itch and hives. As predicted, the lowest dose of 0.5 mg/kg resulted in suboptimal clinical activity compared to the higher doses.

Rapid onset of responses after initial dosing and sustained durability were observed; onset as early as 1 week after the first dose.

Tryptase suppression, indicative of mast cell depletion, paralleled symptom improvement, demonstrating the impact of mast cell depletion on CSU disease activity.

Barzolvolimab was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile; effects of multiple dose administration were consistent with observations in single dose studies. Most AEs were mild or moderate in severity and resolved while on study, with none leading to treatment discontinuation. The most common treatment emergent adverse events were urinary tract infections, headache, neutropenia and back pain. UTIs, headache and backpain were all reported as unrelated to treatment. Changes in hematologic parameters were consistent with observations in single dose studies, with no pattern of further decreases with multiple doses; hematologic values generally remained within the normal range.

In June 2022, we announced that the maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, and then expanded intofirst patient has been dosed in a Phase 2 open-label, multi-center study.study in patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy.

Approximately 168 patients with MBC were enrolled in an expanded Phase 2 cohort (forwill be randomly assigned on a total of 34 treated patients at 1.88 mg/kg, the Phase 2 dose) to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 12 weeks. The 1.88 mg/kg dose exhibited an acceptable safety profile in this patient population with the most common adverse events being rash, neuropathy and fatigue. The primary anti-cancer activity endpoint, which called for at least 5 of 25 (20%) patients in the Phase 2 study portion to be progression-free at 12 weeks, was met as 9 of 27 (33%) evaluable patients were progression-free at 12 weeks. For all patients treated at the Phase 2 dose, median PFS was 9.1 weeks.

A subset of 10 patients had “triple negative disease,” a more aggressive metastatic breast cancer subtype that carries a high risk of relapse and reduced survival as well as limited therapeutic options. In these patients, the 12-week PFS rate was 60% (6/10), and median PFS was 17.9 weeks. Tumor samples from a subset of patients across all dose groups were analyzed for gpNMB expression. The tumor samples from most patients showed evidence of stromal and/or tumor cell expression of gpNMB.

The subsequent EMERGE study was a randomized, multi-center Phase 2b study of glembatumumab vedotin in 124 patients with heavily pre-treated, advanced, gpNMB-positive breast cancer. Results from EMERGE were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in April 2015. Patients were randomized (2:1)1:1:1:1 ratio to receive either glembatumumab vedotinsubcutaneous injections of barzolvolimab at 75 mg every 4 weeks, 150 mg every 4 weeks, 300 mg every 8 weeks or single-agent Investigator’s Choice chemotherapy.placebo during a 16-week placebo-controlled treatment phase.

The final study results,one of these two dose regimens; patients already randomized to these treatment arms will remain on the same regimen as shown below, suggested that glembatumumab vedotin induced significant response rates compared to currently available therapies in patient subsets with advanced, refractory breast cancers with high gpNMB expression (expression in at least 25% of tumor cells) and induring the placebo-controlled treatment phase. Following the treatment period, patients with triple negative breast cancer. The OS and PFS of patients treated with glembatumumab vedotin were also observed to be greatest in patients with high gpNMB expression and, in particular, in patients with triple negative breast cancer who also had high gpNMB expression.

In December 2013, we initiated METRIC, a randomized, controlled Phase 2b study of glembatumumab vedotin in patients with triple negative breast cancer that over-expresses gpNMB. Clinical trial study sites were opened to enrollment across the U.S., Canada, Australia and the European Union. The METRIC protocol was amended in late 2014 based on feedback from clinical investigators conducting the study that the eligibility criteria for study entry were limiting their ability to enroll patients they felt were clinically appropriate. In addition, we had spoken to country-specific members of the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and believed an opportunity existed to expand the study into the EU. The amendment expanded patient entry criteria to position it for the possibility of full marketing approval with global regulators, including the EMA, and to support improved enrollment in the study.24-week follow up phase. The primary endpoint of the study is PFS, defined asmean change in baseline to Week 12 in UAS7 (Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days). Secondary endpoints include safety and other assessments of clinical activity including ISS7 (Itch Severity Score over 7 days), HSS7 (Hive Severity Score over 7 days) and AAS7 (Angioedema Activity Score over 7 days).

In March and June 2021, respectively, we added a third cohort (single dose, 3 mg/kg) in bothpatients with cholinergic urticaria (n=10) and a fourth cohort at a lower dose (single dose, 1.5 mg/kg) in cold urticaria. Patient’s symptoms are induced via provocation testing that resembles real life triggering situations. Secondary and exploratory objectives include pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments, including changes from baseline provocation thresholds, measurement of tryptase and stem cell factor levels, clinical activity outcomes (impact on urticaria symptoms, disease control, clinical response), quality of life assessments and measurement of tissue mast cells through skin biopsies. Barzolvolimab is administered intravenously on Day 1 as add on treatment to H1-antihistamines.

In July 2021, we reported positive interim data from the U.S.cold urticaria and the EU. The sample size (n=300) and the secondary endpoint of OS remained unchanged. Since implementation of these changes, both the FDA and central European regulatory authorities have reviewed the protocol design, and we believe the METRIC study could potentially support marketing approval in both the U.S. and Europe dependent upon data results and review.

Enrollment (n=327) in METRIC was completed in August 2017. The study calls for 203 progression events for evaluation of the primary endpoint, which will be assessed based on an independent, central reading of patient scans. The sumsymptomatic dermographism cohorts. As of the data cut-off on June 11, 2021, 20 patients had received a single intravenous infusion of barzolvolimab at 3 mg/kg, including the secondary endpoints of response rate, overall survival, duration of response and safety, will be important in assessing clinical benefit. Based on the current rate of progression events in the study, the Company projects that topline primary endpoint data should be available in the second quarter of 2018.

Efforts to ensure delivery of manufactured drug that is ready for commercialization and a companion diagnostic, including partnering with a diagnostic company, are underway. While we have made and continue to make progress on these fronts, we have made the decision to stage some of the more costly work in these areas to begin after we have received results from the study. While this step will extend the timeline to complete our regulatory filings, we believe this is the most prudent use of our funds as we seek to advance our pipeline overall.

Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma:  The Phase 1/2 open-label, multi-center, dose escalation study evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of glembatumumab vedotin in 11711 patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanomacold urticaria and 9 patients with symptomatic dermographism. Patients had high disease activity as assessed by provocation threshold testing. In patients with cold urticaria and symptomatic dermographism baseline critical temperature thresholds were 18.9°C/66°F (range: 5-27°C/41-80.6°F) and FricTest® thresholds were 3.8 (range: 3-4) of 4 pins. Safety results were reported for all 20 patients; activity results were reported for the 19 patients who had failed no more than one prior linereceived a full dose of cytotoxic therapy. The MTDbarzolvolimab. 14 of 19 patients completed the 12-week study observation period and resulting Phase 2 dose was determined to be 1.88 mg/kg administered intravenously once every three weeks. The study achieved its primary activity objective with an overall response rate (ORR) in the Phase 2 cohortfive were ongoing (range of 15% (5/34). Median PFS was 3.3 months for patients treated with the Phase 2 dose. Glembatumumab vedotin was generally well tolerated, with the most frequent treatment-related adverse events being rash, fatigue, alopecia, pruritus, diarrhea and nausea. The development2-8 weeks) as of rash, which may be associated with the presence of gpNMB in the skin, also seemed to correlate with greater PFS.June 11, 2021.

All 19/19 (100)% patients experienced a clinical response as assessed by provocation threshold testing; 18/19 (95)% experienced a complete response and 1/19 (5)% experienced a partial response.10/10 (100)% patients with cold urticaria experienced a complete response. 8/9 (89)% patients with symptomatic dermographism experienced a complete response and 1/9 (11)% experienced a partial response. Compete responses were observed in all 3 patients (1 cold urticaria; 2 symptomatic dermographism) with prior Xolair® (omalizumab) experience, including two who were Xolair refractory.
Rapid onset of responses after dosing and sustained durability were observed. Most patients with cold urticaria and symptomatic dermographism experienced a complete response by week 1 and by week 4, respectively. The median duration of response for patients was 77+ days for cold urticaria and 57+ days for symptomatic dermographism.
Improvements in disease activity as reported by physician’s and patient’s global assessment of disease severity were consistent with the complete responses as measured by provocation testing.
A single 3 mg/kg dose of barzolvolimab resulted in rapid, marked and durable suppression of serum tryptase and depletion of skin mast cells (87% depletion) as measured through biopsy. The kinetics of serum tryptase and skin mast cell depletion mirrored clinical activity. This confirmed that serum tryptase level is a robust pharmacodynamic biomarker for assessing mast cell burden and clinical activity in inducible urticaria and potentially in other diseases with mast cell driven involvement.
Barzolvolimab was generally well tolerated. The most common adverse events were hair color changes, mild infusion reactions, and transient changes in taste perception. Hair color changes (generally small areas of hair color lightening) and taste disorders (generally partial changes of ability to taste salt) are consistent with inhibiting KIT signaling in other cell types and are expected to be fully reversible. As previously reported in March 2021, a single severe infusion reaction of brief loss of consciousness was observed in a patient with a history of fainting. The patient rapidly recovered. Importantly, no evidence of mast cell activation as measured by serum tryptase monitoring was observed. There was no evidence of clinically significant decreases in hematology parameters—an important finding for a KIT inhibitor.
One patient with symptomatic dermographism enrolled in the study also had a diagnosis of prurigo nodularis (PN). After a single dose of barzolvolimab, this patient experienced both a complete response of symptomatic dermographism and notable improvement of the PN.

In December 2014,September 2021, we initiated a single arm, single-agent, open-label Phase 2 study of glembatumumab vedotin in patients with unresectable stage III or IV melanoma, and enrollment has been completed. In May 2016, we amended the protocol to add a second cohort of patients to a glembatumumab vedotin and varlilumab combination arm to assess the potential clinical benefit of the combination and to explore varlilumab’s potential biologic and immunologic effect when combined with an ADC, and enrollment has been completed. In November 2016, we amended the protocol to add a third cohort of patients evaluating glembatumumab vedotin in combination with an approved checkpoint inhibitor (i.e., nivolumab or pembrolizumab) following progression on the checkpoint inhibitor alone, and enrollment is ongoing. In September 2017, we amended the protocol again to add a fourth cohort of patients evaluating glembatumumab vedotin in combination with CDX-301 to assess the safety, tolerability and biologic activity of the combination. Following completion of this cohort and evaluation of available data, the protocol amendment also allows for the exploration ofreported additional cohorts. The primary endpoint for each cohort is ORR, except the fourth cohort which is assessing safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints include analyses of PFS, duration of response, OS, retrospective investigation of whether the anti-cancer activity of glembatumumab vedotin is dependent upon the degree of gpNMB expression in tumor tissue and safety of both the monotherapy and combination regimens.

We presented maturepositive data from the single-agent cohortstudy on measurements of symptom control and quality of life. A single dose of barzolvolimab (3 mg/kg) resulted in an oral presentation at the 2017 American Societya rapid and sustained improvement in urticaria control and greatly reduced disease impact on quality of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in June. The cohort enrolled 62 evaluable patients with unresectable stage IV melanoma. All patients had been heavily pre-treated (median prior therapies = 3; range 1-8) and had progressed during or after checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and almost all patients had received both ipilimumab (n=58; 94%) and anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 (n=58; 94%) therapy. Twelve patients presented with BRAF mutation, and fifteen had prior treatment with BRAF or BRAF/MEK targeted agents. Median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 9.0 months (95% CI: 6.1, 13.0). As previously reported in October 2016, the primary endpoint of the cohort (threshold of 6 or more objective responses in 52 evaluable patients) was exceeded. 7 of 62 (11%) patients experienced a confirmed response, and an additional three patients also experienced single timepoint partial responses. Since data were reported in October 2016, one patient converted from a confirmed partial response to a confirmed complete response. The median duration of response was 6.0 months. A 52% disease control rate (patients without progression for greater than three months) was demonstrated, and median progression free survival (PFS) for all patients was 4.4 months. Consistent with previous studies in melanoma and breast cancer, rash was associated with greater clinical benefit. Patients who experienced rash in Cycle 1 experienced a 21% confirmed response rate, a more prolonged PFS with a median of 5.5 months (p=0.006; HR=0.39) and a more prolonged OS with a median of 15.8 months (p=0.026, HR=0.44). The safety profile was consistent with prior studies of glembatumumab vedotin with rash, neutropenia and neuropathy experiencedlife, as the most significant adverse events. Pre-treatment tumor tissue was available for 59 patients. All samples were gpNMB positive, and 78% of patients had tumors with 100% of their epithelial cells expressing gpNMB. Given both the high level of expression and the intensity of expression across this patient population, identifying a potential population for gpNMB enrichment is not feasible; therefore, all patients with metastatic melanoma could be evaluated as potential candidates for treatment with glembatumumab vedotin in future studies. We intend to conduct exploratory analyses of pre-entry skin biopsies in future patients to investigate potential predictors of response to glembatumumab vedotin, given the association of rash and outcome.

Data from the second cohort, combining glembatumumab vedotin and varlilumab, were accepted for presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 32nd Annual Meeting in November 2017. The cohort enrolled 34 patients with unresectable stage IV melanoma. All patients had been heavily pre-treated (median prior therapies = 3; range 1-8) and had progressed during or after checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy (median prior CPI therapies = 2; range 1-4). Almost all patients had received ipilimumab (n=26; 76%) and/or anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 (n=34; 100%) therapy. Nine patients presented with BRAF mutation, and eleven had prior treatment with BRAF or BRAF/MEK targeted agents. Median PFS for all patients was 2.6 months (95% CI: 1.4, 2.8),

and median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 6.4 months (95% CI: 3.2, 8.3). One of 31 patients eligible for response evaluation experienced a confirmed partial response (3%) and an additional two patients also experienced single timepoint partial responses. 52% of patients experienced stable disease (minimum of six or more weeks). A 19% disease control rate (patients without progression for greater than three months) was demonstrated. The safety profile was consistent with prior studies of glembatumumab vedotin and there was no evidence of additive toxicity associated with the combination. Biological effects of varlilumab were consistent with prior observations and did not appear to be impactedmeasured by the addition of an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)Urticaria Control Test (UCT) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Modest clinical benefit

In July 2022 we announced that the first patient has been dosed in the combination could be due to multiple factors, including potential lack of sensitivity to immunotherapy in patients with checkpoint refractory disease, many of whom progressed so rapidly that they experienced a very short duration of varlilumab treatment (median 2 doses); a possible dearth of antigen presenting cells in tumors; and the potential for immune checkpoint molecules to remain unblocked without checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Planned future cohorts are designed to address some of these potential factors. No significant correlation between rash and outcome was observed, but will continue to be monitored in future cohorts.

Treatment of Other Indications:  We have entered into a collaborative relationship with PrECOG, LLC, which represents a research network established by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), under which PrECOG, LLC, is conducting an open-label Phase 1/2 study in patients with unresectable stage IIIB or IV, gpNMB-expressing, advanced or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung,CIndU who have progressed on prior platinum-based chemotherapy. This study opened to enrollment in April 2016 and is ongoing.remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy. The study includes a dose-escalation phase followed by a two-stagewill be conducted at more than 75 sites across 10 or more countries. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2 portion (Simon two-stage design).study is evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab in patients with CIndU to determine the optimal dosing strategy. Approximately 180 patients in 2 cohorts (differentiated by CIndU subtype) including 90 patients with cold urticaria and 90 patients with symptomatic dermographism will be randomly assigned on a 1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous injections of barzolvolimab at 150 mg every 4 weeks, 300 mg every 8 weeks or placebo during a 20-week treatment phase. Patients will then enter a follow-up phase for an additional 24 weeks. The Phase 1, dose-escalation portionprimary endpoint of the study is the percentage of patients with a negative provocation test at Week 12 (using TempTest(R) and FricTest(R)). Secondary endpoints include safety and other assessments of clinical activity including CTT (Critical Temperature Threshold), CFT (Critical Friction Threshold) and WI-NRS (Worst itch numeric rating scale).

We have expanded clinical development of barzolvolimab into prurigo nodularis (PN). PN is a chronic skin disease characterized by the development of hard, intensely itchy (pruritic) nodules on the skin. Mast cells through their interactions with sensory neurons and other immune cells are believed to play an important role in amplifying chronic itch and neuroinflammation, both of which are a hallmark of PN. There are currently no FDA approved therapies for PN, representing an area of significant unmet need. Industry sources estimate there are approximately 154,000 patients in the United States with PN who have undergone treatment within the last 12 months and, of these, approximately 75,000 would be biologic-eligible. In December 2021, the first patient was dosed in a Phase 1b multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety and tolerabilitytreatment effects across multiple dosing cohorts of glembatumumab vedotin at varying dose levels. The first stagebarzolvolimab in up to 30 patients with PN.

Manufacturing activities to support the introduction of the Phase 2 portion plans to enroll approximately 20 patients, and if at least two patients achieve a partial response or complete response, a second stage may enroll an additional 15 patients. The primary objective ofbarzolvolimab subcutaneous formulation into the Phase 2 portion of the study is to assess the anti-tumor activity of glembatumumab vedotin in squamous cell lung cancer as measured by ORR. Secondary objectives of the study include analyses of safety and tolerability and further assessment of anti-tumor activity across a broad range of endpoints.

Weclinical program have also entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, or CRADA, with the National Cancer Institute, or NCI, under which NCI is sponsoring a Phase 2 study of glembatumumab vedotin in uveal melanoma. The study is a single-arm, open-label study in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic uveal melanoma. The study has a two stage design with a pre-specified activity threshold necessary in the first stage to progress enrollment to the second stage. The primary outcome measure is ORR. Secondary outcome measures include change in gpNMB expression on tumor tissue via immunohistochemistry, safety, OS and PFS. Data from this study were presented at 9th World Congress of Melanoma in October of 2017. Two (6%) objective responses were observed in 31 patients to date and 35% of patients experienced stable disease greater than 100 days (median 5.5 months). The disease control rate (response rate + stable disease) for all patients on study was noteworthy at 61%. Median PFS was 3.2 months and median OS was 11.8 months. For patients who experienced either a partial response or stable disease, median PFS was 5.5 months and median OS has not yet been reached. The NCI is conducting exploratory immune correlates to provide insight into target saturation, antigen release and potential combination strategies.

Varlilumab

Varlilumab is a fully human monoclonal agonist antibody that binds to and activates CD27, a critical co-stimulatory molecule in the immune activation cascade. We believe varlilumab works primarily by stimulating T cells, an important component of a person’s immune system, to attack cancer cells. Restricted expression and regulation of CD27 enables varlilumab specifically to activate T cells, resulting in an enhanced immune response with the potential for a favorable safety profile. In preclinical studies, varlilumab has been shown to directly kill or inhibit the growth of CD27 expressing lymphomas and leukemias in in vitro and in vivo models. We have entered into license agreements with the University of Southampton, UK for intellectual property to use anti-CD27 antibodies and with Medarex (acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, or BMS) for access to the UltiMab technology to develop and commercialize human antibodies to CD27. Varlilumab was initially studied as a single-agent to establish a safety profile and assess immunologic and clinical activity in patients with cancer, but we believe the greatest opportunity for varlilumab is as an immune activator in combination with other agents. Currently, we are focusing our efforts on a Phase 1/2 clinical trial being conducted in collaboration with BMS and their PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor, Opdivo. Varlilumab is also being explored in combination studies, including with glembatumumab vedotin,completed and, in ongoing and planned investigator-sponsored studies.

Single-Agent Phase 1 Study:  Data from the completed, open-labelSeptember 2021, we initiated dosing in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 study of varlilumab in patients with selected malignant solid tumors or hematologic cancers were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in June 2014. Varlilumab demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and induced immunologic activity in patients that is consistent with both its proposed mechanism of action and data in preclinical models. A total of 90 patients were dosed in the study at multiple clinical sites in the U.S. of which 55 patients were dosed in dose escalation cohorts (various solid and hematologic B- and T-cell tumors), and 35 patients were dosed in the expansion cohorts (melanoma, renal cell carcinoma and Hodgkin lymphoma) at 3 mg/kg. In both the solid tumor and hematologic dose-escalations, the pre-specified maximum dose level (10 mg/kg) was reached without

identification of a maximum tolerated dose. The majority of adverse events, or AEs, related to treatment have been mild to moderate (Grade 1/2) in severity, with only three serious AEs related to treatment reported. No significant immune-mediated adverse events (colitis, hepatitis, etc.) typically associated with checkpoint blockade have been observed to date. Two patients initially experienced significant objective responses including a complete response in Hodgkin lymphoma (patient remains in remission at 2.8+ years without further anticancer therapy as of September 2016; patient no longer on study) and a partial response in renal cell carcinoma (continued at 2.5+ years without further anticancer therapy as of June 2017). A patient with renal cell carcinoma that experienced significant stable disease (4+ years) has achieved a single-time point partial response at 4.2+ years without additional anticancer therapy. Twelve patients experienced stable disease up to 14 months. As of June 2017, there are two patients continuing in long term follow-up. Final results from the study in patients with solid tumors were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in April 2017.

Phase 1/2 Varlilumab/Opdivo® Combination Study:  In 2014, we entered into a clinical trial collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibbdesigned to evaluate the safety tolerabilityof single ascending doses of the subcutaneous formulation of barzolvolimab in healthy volunteers. In February 2022, we reported that subcutaneous administration of barzolvolimab was well tolerated and preliminary efficacythat multiple dose levels have been identified that possess promising pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Importantly, subcutaneous delivery of varlilumabbarzolvolimab resulted in dose-dependent, rapid and Opdivo, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor,sustained decreases in serum tryptase compared with placebo and achieved sufficient exposure to produce tryptase suppression levels comparable with the levels that generated impressive clinical activity observed in the Phase 1 CIndU intravenous study. The Phase 2 multi-dose studies in urticaria are designed to evaluate 75mg and 150mg administered every 4 weeks and 300mg administered every 8 weeks. These doses support a Phase 1/0.5 to 2 study. Under the terms of this clinical trial collaboration, Bristol-Myers Squibb mademl injection volume, allowing for a one-time payment to us of $5.0 million, and the companies amended the termssingle injection as barzolvolimab advances towards potential commercialization. In 2022, we initiated transfer of our existing license agreementcurrent barzolvolimab manufacturing process to a contract manufacturing organization to support late-stage trials and to prepare for potential commercialization.

In February 2022, we also reported interim data after completing the in-life dosing portion of our six-month chronic toxicology study in non-human primates; a subset of the animals will continue to be followed beyond clearance of the barzolvolimab antibody to study completion. As expected and consistent with Medarex (acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb) relatedother KIT-targeting agents, impact on spermatogenesis was observed which is anticipated to be fully reversible upon clearance of the antibody. There were no other clinically adverse findings reported in the study. We believe these data strongly support our CD27 program whereby certainPhase 2 studies in urticaria and in future milestone payments were waived and future royalty rates were reduced that may have been due from us to Medarex. indications.

In return, Bristol-Myers Squibb was granted a time-limited right of first negotiation ifFebruary 2022, we wish to out-license varlilumab. The companies also agreed to work exclusively with each other to explore anti-PD-1 antagonist antibody and anti-CD27 agonist antibody combination regimens. The clinical trial collaboration provides that the companies will share development costs andannounced that we will be responsibleexpanding clinical development of barzolvolimab into eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), the most common type of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease. EoE is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus characterized by the infiltration of eosinophils. This chronic inflammation can result in trouble swallowing, chest pain, vomiting and impaction of food in the esophagus, a medical emergency. Several studies have suggested that mast cells may be an important driver in the disease, demonstrating that the number and activation state of mast cells are greatly increased in EoE biopsies and that mast cell signatures correlate with markers of inflammation, fibrosis, pain and disease severity. Currently, there are limited treatment options for conductingEoE. Individuals often participate in an elimination diet to identify potential food allergens that may contribute to EoE, avoid difficult to swallow foods and undergo esophageal dilation. While not approved for EoE, proton pump inhibitors and the Phase 1/2swallowing of topical corticosteroids are also used to address the disease. Industry sources estimate there are approximately 160,000 patients in the United States with EoE who have undergone treatment within the last 12 months and, of these, approximately 48,000 would be biologic-eligible. Given the lack of effective therapies for EoE and barzolvolimab’s potential as a mast cell depleting agent, we believe EoE is an important indication for future study.

We continue to assess potential opportunities for barzolvolimab in other diseases where mast cells play an important role, such as dermatologic, respiratory, allergic, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic conditions.

CDX-527

CDX-527 is the first candidate from our bispecific antibody platform. Bispecifics provide opportunities to engage two independent pathways involved in controlling immune responses to tumors. CDX-527 uses our proprietary highly active anti-PD-L1 and CD27 human antibodies to couple CD27 co-stimulation with blockade of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway to help prime and activate anti-tumor T cell responses through CD27 costimulation, while preventing PD-1 inhibitory signals that subvert the immune response.

Our prior clinical experience with combining CD27 activation and PD-1 blockade provide the rationale for linking these two pathways into one molecule. Preclinical data presented at the SITC 34th Annual Meeting in November 2019 demonstrated that CDX-527 is more potent at T cell activation and anti-tumor immunity than the combination of parental monoclonal antibodies.

In August 2020, we announced the initiation of a Phase 1 dose-escalation study. The Phase 1/2 study was initiated in January 2015 and is being conducted in adultincludes up to approximately 40 patients with multipleadvanced or metastatic solid tumors that have progressed during or after standard of care therapy to assess the safety and tolerability of varlilumab at varying doses when administered with Opdivo,be followed by tumor-specific expansion cohorts. The study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, during a Phase 2dose-escalation phase and to recommend a dose level for further study in the subsequent expansion phase. The expansion is designed to further evaluate the activitytolerability, and biologic and anti-tumor effects of the combinationselected dose level(s) of CDX-527 in disease specific cohorts.

Data (n=36) fromtumor types. Enrollment to the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the study were presented inhas been completed and an oral presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in June 2017. The majority of patients had PD-L1 negative tumor at baseline and presented with stage IV, heavily-pretreated disease. 80% of patients enrolled presented with refractory or recurrent colorectal (n=21) or ovarian cancer (n=8), a population expected to have minimal response to checkpoint blockade. The primary objective of the Phase 1 portion of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination. The combination was well tolerated at all varlilumab dose levels tested without any evidence of increased autoimmunity or inappropriate immune activation. Marked changes in the tumor microenvironment including increased infiltrating CD8+ T cells and increased PD-L1 expression, which have been shown to correlate with a greater magnitude of treatment effect from checkpoint inhibitors in other clinical studies, were observed. Additional evidence of immune activity, such as increase in inflammatory chemokines and decrease in T regulatory cells, was also noted. Notable disease control was also observed (stable disease or better for at least 3 months), considering the stage IV patient population contained mostly colorectal and ovarian cases (80%): 0.1 mg/kg varlilumab + 240 mg Opdivo: 1/5 (20%), 1 mg/kg varlilumab + 240 mg Opdivo: 5/15 (33%) and 10 mg/kg varlilumab + 240 mg Opdivo: 6/15 (40%).

Three partial responses (PR) were observed. A patient with PD-L1 negative, MMR proficient colorectal cancer, typically unlikely to respond to checkpoint blockade monotherapy, achieved a confirmed PR (95% decrease in target lesions) and, following completion of combination treatment, continues to receive treatment with Opdivo monotherapy at 22+ months. A patient with low PD-L1 (5% expression) squamous cell head and neck cancer achieved a confirmed PR (59% shrinkage) and experienced progression free survival of 6.7 months. A patient with PD-L1 negative ovarian cancer experienced a single timepoint PR (49% shrinkage) but discontinued treatment to a dose-limiting toxicity (immune hepatitis, an event known to be associated with checkpoint inhibition therapy). A subgroup analysis was conducted in patients with ovarian cancer based on an observed increase of PD-L1 and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in this patient population. In patients with paired baseline and on-treatment biopsies (n=13), only 15% were PD-L1 positive (> 1% tumor cells) at baseline compared to 77% during treatment (p=0.015). Patients with increased tumor PD-L1 expression and tumor CD8 T cells correlated with better clinical outcome with treatment (stable disease or better).

The Phase 2 portion of the study opened to enrollment in April 2016 and includes cohorts in colorectal cancer (n=18), ovarian cancer (n=54), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (n=54), renal cell carcinoma (n=25) and glioblastoma (n=20). Additional dosing schedules are being exploredexpansion cohort in ovarian cancer and in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, increasing the overall size of the study compared to the original study design. The primary objective of the Phase 2 cohorts is ORR, except glioblastoma, where the primary objective is the rate of 12-month overall survival. Secondary objectives include pharmacokinetic assessments, determining the immunogenicity of varlilumab when given in combination with Opdivo and further assessing the anti-tumor activity of combination treatment. We plan to complete enrollment across all cohorts in the Phase 2 portion of the study in the first quarter of 2018 and expect to work with BMS to present data from the study at a future medical meeting.

Anti-Kit Program: CDX-0158 and CDX-0159

KIT activation is implicated in many disease processes including some cancers, neurofibromatosis and mast cell-related diseases, including autoimmune disease. CDX-0158, a humanized monoclonal antibody, is a potent inhibitor of wildtype KIT in mast cells and has demonstrated preclinical activity versus the most common oncogenic KIT mutations found in human gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in model cell lines and in spontaneous canine mast cell tumors (an established model for mastocytoma). A Phase 1 dose escalation study in patients with advanced refractory GIST and other KIT positive tumors opened to enrollment in December 2015 to determine the maximum tolerated dose, recommend a dose for further study and characterize the safety profile. A total of 28 patients have been treated with doses up to 15 mg/kg with one patient currently continuing on treatment. Importantly, no evidence of myelosuppression (an effect commonly associated with KIT inhibition) was observed in this study. Approximately two-thirds of the patients on study had infusion reactions that were manageable with pre-medication and longer infusion times. The biomarker data showed evidence of dose-related KIT engagement, and two patients experienced partial metabolic responses on fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET scan; however, these PET responses were not associated with tumor shrinkage.

The infusion reactions are believed to be the result of CDX-0158 acting as an agonist on mast cells in vivo, where the antibody can be cross-linked by Fc receptors and cause mast cell degranulation. Given the infusion reactions, modifications have been introduced into the Fc portion of the CDX-0158 antibody to prevent these interactions, which should eliminate the potential for Fc receptor mediated agonist activity. This second-generation version, called CDX-0159, also includes modifications to increase the half-life of the antibody, giving it additional benefits over CDX-0158. Preclinical data to date with CDX-0159 have demonstrated equivalent KIT inhibition to CDX-0158, but unlike CDX-0158, CDX-0159 does not induce KIT activation when Fc receptors are used to cross-link the antibodies. CDX-0159 is being fully developed in-house with the intention of replacing CDX-0158 in clinical development. We expect manufacturing and IND-enabling efforts for CDX-0159 will be completed in 2018.

CDX-3379

CDX-3379 is a human monoclonal antibody with half-life extension designed to block the activity of ErbB3 (HER3). We believe ErbB3 may be an important receptor regulating cancer cell growth and survival as well as resistance to targeted therapies and is expressed in many cancers, including head and neck, thyroid, breast, lung and gastric cancers, as well as melanoma. We believe the proposed mechanism of action for CDX-3379 sets it apart from other drugs in development in this class due to its ability to block both ligand-independent and ligand-dependent ErbB3 signaling by binding to a unique epitope. It has a favorable pharmacologic profile, including a longer half-life and slower clearance relative to other drug candidates in this class. CDX-3379 also has potential to enhance anti-tumor activity and/or overcome resistance in combination with other targeted and cytotoxic therapies to directly kill tumor cells. Tumor cell death and the ensuing release of new tumor antigens has the potential to serve as a focus for combination therapy with immuno-oncology approaches, even in refractoryenrolling patients.

A Phase 1a/1b study was conducted, including a single-agent, dose-escalation portion and combination expansion cohorts. Data from the dose-escalation portion, which completed enrollment in September 2015, and initialInterim data from the expansion cohorts (enrollment ongoing at the time) were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2021 Annual Meeting in June 2016. The single-agent, dose-escalation portionthat demonstrated a good safety profile along with promising pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic activity, which are important key hurdles for the development of bispecific antibodies. As of the study did not identify an MTD, and theredata cut-off (April 16, 2021), 11 patients were enrolled in the first 5 dose escalation cohorts, 0.03 mg/kg through 3 mg/kg.CDX-527 was well tolerated, with no dose limiting toxicities. The most commondose-limiting toxicities or treatment related serious adverse events included rashobserved. Pharmacokinetics and diarrheareceptor occupancy demonstrated good exposure starting at the 1 mg/kg dose and were predominantly grade 1 or 2. Four combination arms across multiple tumor types were added to evaluate CDX-3379no evidence of significant anti-drug antibodies impact. Pharmacodynamic parameters demonstrated biological activity consistent with several drugs that target EGFR, HER2 or BRAF. They include combinations with Erbitux® (n=16), Tarceva® (n=8), Zelboraf® (n=4)immune activation including: transient increase in pro inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, upregulation of activation marker on T cells and Herceptin® (n=10). Patients had advanced disease and were generally heavily pretreated. Across the combination arms, the most frequent adverse events were diarrhea, nausea, rash and fatigue. Objective responses were observed in the Erbitux and Zelboraf combination arms. In the Erbitux arm, there was one complete response in a patient with head and neck cancer, who had been previously treated with Erbitux and was refractory. In the Zelboraf arm, there were two partial responses in patients who had lung cancer, one of whom had been previously treated with Tafinlar® and was considered refractory. We have finalized plans for advancement into an open-label Phase 2 study in approximately 30 patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer who are refractory to Erbitux (cetuximab). We anticipate initiating this study in the fourth quarter of 2017. The primary objective of the study is objective response rate. Second objectives include assessments of clinical benefit response (CBR), duration of response (DOR), PFS and OS, and safety and pharmacokinetics associated with the combination.

CDX-1401

CDX-1401, developed from our APC Targeting Technology, is an NY-ESO-1-antibody fusion protein for immunotherapy in multiple solid tumors. CDX-1401, which is administered with an adjuvant, is composed of the cancer-specific antigen NY-ESO-1 fused to a fully human antibody that binds to DEC-205 for efficient delivery to dendritic cells. Delivery of tumor-specific proteins directly to dendriticparticularly NK cellsin vivo elicits potent, broad, anti-tumor immune responses across populations with different genetic

backgrounds. In humans, NY-ESO-1 has been detected in 20% to 30% of melanoma, lung, esophageal, liver, gastric, ovarian and bladder cancers, and up to 70% of synovial sarcomas, thus representing a broad opportunity. CDX-1401 is being developed for the treatment of malignant melanoma and a variety of solid tumors which express the cancer antigen NY-ESO-1. Preclinical studies have shown that CDX-1401 treatment resultsdecrease in activation of humanregulatory T cell responses against NY-ESO-1.cells.

We have completed a Phase 1 study of CDX-1401 which assessed the safety, immunogenicity and clinical activity of escalating doses of CDX-1401 with TLR agonists (resiquimod and/or poly-ICLC) in 45 patients with advanced malignancies refractory to all available therapies. Results were published in Science Translational Medicine in April 2014. Sixty percent of patients had confirmed NY-ESO expression in archived tumor samples. Thirteen patients maintained stable disease for up to 13.4 months with a median of 6.7 months. Treatment indicates an acceptable safety profile to date, and there were no dose limiting toxicities. A variety of immune activation parameters were observed. Humoral responses were elicited in both NY-ESO-1 positive and negative patients. NY-ESO-1-specific T cell responses were absent or low at baseline, but increased post-vaccination in 56% of evaluable patients, including both CD4 and/or CD8 T cell responses. Robust immune responses were observed with CDX-1401 with resiquimod and poly-ICLC alone and in combination. Long-term patient follow up suggested that treatment with CDX-1401 may predispose patients to better outcomes on subsequent therapy with checkpoint inhibitors. Of the 45 patients in the Phase 1 study, eight went on to receive subsequent therapy of either Yervoy® or an investigational checkpoint inhibitor within 3 months of CDX-1401, and six of these patients had objective tumor regression. Six patients with melanoma received Yervoy within three months of treatment with CDX-1401, and four (67%) had objective tumor responses, including one complete response, which compares favorably to the overall response rate of 11% previously reported in metastatic melanoma patients treated with single-agent Yervoy. In addition, two patients with non-small cell lung cancer received an investigational checkpoint blockade within two months of completing treatment with CDX-1401, and both achieved partial responses. Together with Roche, we are supporting an investigator initiated study of CDX-1401 in combination with Tecentriq® (atezolizumab; anti-PD-L1) in patients with lung cancer.

CDX-1401’s potential activity is being explored in investigator sponsored and collaborative studies. A Phase 2 study of CDX-1401 in combination with CDX-301 is being conducted in malignant melanoma by the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network (CITN) under a CRADA with the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program of the NCI. This study was designed to determine the activity of CDX-1401 with or without CDX-301 in melanoma. The primary outcome measure of the study is immune response to NY-ESO-1. Secondary outcome measures include analysis and characterization of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (dendritic cells, T cells, natural killer cells, etc.), additional immune monitoring, safety and clinical outcomes (survival and time to tumor recurrence). Enrollment is complete, and initial results were presented at the 2016 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The data confirmed that CDX-1401 is capable of driving NY-ESO-1 immunity and further demonstrated the potential of CDX-301 as a combination agent for enhancing tumor specific immune responses. The NCI and CITN are planning to enroll additional cohorts to investigate alternative regimens of CDX-301.

In September 2017, a randomized, open-label Phase 1/2 study of CDX-1401 in combination with atezolizumab and SGI-110 opened to enrollment in recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. This study is being conducted under a CRADA with the NCI Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis and is designed to determine the activity of atezolizumab alone, atezolizumab plus SGI-110 and atezolizumab plus SGI-110 plus CDX-1401. The primary outcome of the Phase 1 dose escalation study is safety and only evaluates atezolizumab alone and in combination with SGI-110. The Phase 2 portion of the study is expected to add CDX-1401. The primary outcome of the Phase 2 portion of the study is a comparison of PFS between the three cohorts.

Other studies are being considered through investigator-sponsored and collaborative agreements.

CDX-301CDX-1140

CDX-301, a recombinant FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand, or Flt3L, is a hematopoietic cytokine that uniquely expands dendritic cells and hematopoietic stem cells in combination with other agents to potentiate the anti-tumor response. Depending on the setting, cells expanded by CDX-301 promote either enhanced or permissive immunity. CDX-301 is in clinical development for multiple cancers, in combination with vaccines, adjuvants and other treatments that release tumor antigens. We licensed CDX-301 from Amgen Inc. in March 2009 and believe CDX-301 may hold significant opportunity for synergistic development in combination with other proprietary molecules in our portfolio.

A Phase 1 study of CDX-301 evaluated seven different dosing regimens of CDX-301 to determine the appropriate dose for further development based on safety, tolerability and biological activity. The data from the study were consistent with previous clinical experience and demonstrated that CDX-301 has an acceptable safety profile to date and can mobilize hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) populations in healthy volunteers.

At the 2016 ASCO Annual Meeting, initial results from a Phase 2 study of CDX-1401 in combination with CDX-301 in malignant melanoma were presented that further demonstrated the value of CDX-301 as a combination agent for enhancing tumor specific immune responses. The Phase 2 study was conducted by the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network, or CITN, under a CRADA with the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program of the NCI. Based on these results the CITN is planning to enroll additional cohorts to investigate alternative regimens of CDX-301. Other studies are being considered through investigator-sponsored and collaborative agreements.

CDX-014

CDX-014 is a human monoclonal ADC that targets T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 1, or TIM-1. TIM-1 expression is upregulated in several cancers, most notably renal cell and ovarian carcinomas, and is associated with a more malignant phenotype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and tumor progression. TIM-1 has restricted expression in healthy tissues, making it potentially amenable to an ADC approach. The TIM-1 antibody is linked to MMAE using Seattle Genetics’ proprietary technology. The ADC is designed to be stable in the bloodstream but to release MMAE upon internalization into TIM-1-expressing tumor cells, resulting in a targeted cell-killing effect. CDX-014 has shown anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of ovarian and renal cancers.

In July 2016, we announced that enrollment had opened in a Phase 1/2 study of CDX-014 to patients with both clear cell and papillary RCC. The Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the study is evaluating cohorts of patients receiving increasing doses of CDX-014 to determine the maximum tolerated dose and a recommended dose for Phase 2 study. We anticipate expanding the Phase 1 study to encompass additional TIM-1 expressing tumor types and alternate dosing regimens. The Phase 2 portion of the study plans to enroll approximately 25 patients to assess the anti-tumor activity of CDX-014 at the recommended dose in advanced renal cell carcinoma as measured by objective response rate. Secondary objectives include safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and additional measures of anti-tumor activity.

CDX-1140

CDX-1140 is a fully human agonist monoclonal antibody targeted to CD40, a key activator of immune response, which is found on dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells and is also expressed on many cancer cells. Potent CD40 agonist antibodies have shown encouraging results in early clinical studies; however, systemic toxicity associated with broad CD40 activation has limited their dosing.dosing concentrations to levels that may not be optimal for engaging CD40 expressing cells in the tumor microenvironment. CDX-1140 has unique properties relative to other CD40 agonist antibodies: potent agonist activity is independent of Fc receptor interaction, contributing to more consistent, controlled immune activation; CD40L binding is not blocked, leading to potential synergistic effects of agonist activity near activated T cells in lymph nodes and tumors; and the antibody does not promote cytokine production in whole blood assays. CDX-1140 has shown direct anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of lymphoma.

Preclinical data, including the IND-enabling toxicology study of CDX-1140, were accepted for presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer’s (SITC) 32nd Annual Meeting in November 2017. This toxicology studystudies of CDX-1140 clearly demonstratesdemonstrate strong immune activation effects and low systemic toxicity. The No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for CDX-1140 was determined to be 10 mg/kg in this study. The data supporttoxicity and supported the design of the Phase 1 study of CDX-1140 to rapidly identify the dose for characterizing single-agent and combination activity. The Company believes that the potential for CDX-1140 will be best defined in combination studies with other immunotherapies or conventional cancer treatments.

We plan to initiate aThe Phase 1 study of CDX-1140 by year-end 2017. This study, which is expected to enroll up to approximately 105was initiated in November 2017 in patients with recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors isand B cell lymphomas. The study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, during a dose-escalation phase (0.01 to 3.0 mg/kg once every four weeks until confirmed progression or intolerance) and to recommend a dose level for further study in a subsequent expansion phase. The expansion is designed to further evaluate the tolerability and biologic effects of selected dose(s) of CDX-1140 in specific tumor types. Secondary objectives include assessments of safety and tolerability, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and additional measures of anti-tumor activity, including clinical benefit rate.

In November 2021, we provided an update on the ongoing Phase 1 study. Emerging data from the safety run-in cohort of CDX-1140 with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma and external CD40 agonist data reported using the same regimen, suggest that simultaneous treatment with chemotherapy and CD40 activation may not be optimal. The combination of CDX-1140 with pembrolizumab had completed the safety run-in phase and expansion cohorts in patients with checkpoint-refractory/resistant squamous cell head and neck cancer and non-small cell lung cancer were enrolled. When we reviewed updated data from this study in June of 2022, evidence of clinical benefit was most evident in patients with SCCHN, all of whom had progressive disease on prior anti-PD-1/L1 based therapies. Despite evidence of clinical benefit, questions remain to be answered about CDX-1140, and the broader CD40 agonist class, regarding the best clinical settings, regimens, and possible combinations before advancing into additional Celldex sponsored studies. Given our pipeline priorities and resource requirements, we will not progress further Company-sponsored studies at this time and are exploring alternative means of answering these questions, including through investigator sponsored studies.

Personnel expenses primarily include salary, benefits, stock-based compensation and payroll taxes. The $3.6 million increase in personnel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense and an increase in employee headcount.

Laboratory supplies expenses include laboratory materials and supplies, services, and other related expenses incurred in the development of our technology. The $0.6 million increase in laboratory supply expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily due to higher laboratory materials and supplies purchases.

The $1.5 million increase in personnel expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to an increase in salaries expense and headcount related to the Kolltan acquisition.

The $0.8 million increase in laboratory supplies expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to higher manufacturing supply purchases.

The $2.2 million increase in facility expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily due to the addition of our New Haven facility that we acquired with the Kolltan acquisition and higher depreciation expense of $1.3 million. In March 2017, the Company terminated its lease in Branford, CT and consolidated its Connecticut operations in its New Haven facility.

The $0.9 million decrease in license fees expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was due to the timing of certain development and/or regulatory milestones achieved by our drug candidates.

The $10.0 million decrease in product development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily the result of (i) decreases in varlilumab and Rintega contract manufacturing expenses of $6.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase in glembatumumab vedotin contract manufacturing expenses of $2.6 million and (ii) decreases in Rintega and varlilumab clinical trial costs of $5.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in glembatumumab vedotin, anti-KIT and CDX-3379 clinical trial costs of $3.3 million.

In-Process Research and Development Impairment

We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $13.0 million on the anti-KIT program IPR&D assets acquired from Kolltan during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This impairment charge was related to changes in projected development and regulatory timelines regarding the anti-KIT program.

Gain(Gain) Loss on Fair Value Remeasurement of Contingent Consideration

The $0.2$6.9 million gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 was primarily due to a reduction inour decision to deprioritize the CDX-1140 program. The $0.7 million loss on fair value attributed toremeasurement of contingent consideration for the milestones related to our anti-KIT program, partially offset by losses relatedsix months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to changes in discount rates and the passage of time affecting remaining milestones.time.

Income Tax Benefit

The deferred income tax benefit relates to a $5.2 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease was due to the partial impairment of the anti-KIT program IPR&D assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and consist primarily of investments in money market mutual funds with commercial banks and financial institutions. We maintain cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits. We do not anticipate any losses with respect to such cash balances. We invest our excess cash balances in marketable securities, including municipal bond securities, U.S. government agency securities and high-grade corporate bonds that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy. Our investment policy seeks to manage these assets to achieve our goals of preserving principal and maintaining adequate liquidity.

The use of our cash flows for operations has primarily consisted of salaries and wages for our employees; facility and facility-related costs for our offices, laboratories and manufacturing facility; fees paid in connection with preclinical studies, clinical studies, contract manufacturing, laboratory supplies and services; and consulting, legal and other professional fees. We anticipate that our cash flows from operations will continue to be focused in these areas as we progress our current drug candidates through the clinical trial process and develop additional drug candidates. To date, the primary sources of cash flows from operations have been payments received from our collaborative partners and from government entities.entities and payments received for contract manufacturing and research and development services provided by us. The timing of any new contract manufacturing and research and development agreements, collaboration agreements, government contracts or grants and any payments under these agreements, contracts or grants cannot be easily predicted and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $140.5$356.8 million. We have had recurring losses and incurred a net loss of $89.2$59.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022. Net cash used in operations for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 was $80.4$46.8 million. We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at SeptemberJune 30, 2017, combined with the $11.3 million in net proceeds from sales of common stock under the Cantor agreement during October 2017,2022 are sufficient to meet estimated working capital requirements and fund planned operations through 2018; however, this2025. This could be impacted if we electedelect to pay contingent consideration related to the Kolltan acquisition,future milestones under the Settlement Agreement with SRS, if any, in cash.

During the next twelve months, we willmay take further steps to raise additional capital to meet our long-term liquidity needs.  Our capital raising activities may include,needs including, but may not be limited to, one or more of the following: the licensing of drug candidates with existing or new collaborative partners, possible business combinations, issuance of debt, or the issuance of common stock or other securities via private placements or public offerings. WhileAlthough we may seekhave been successful in raising capital through a number of means,in the past, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and our negotiating position in capital-raisingcapital raising efforts may worsen as existing resources are used. There is also no assurance that we will be able to enter into further collaborative relationships. Additional equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business; and licensing or strategic collaborations may result in royalties or other terms which reduce our economic potential from products under development. Our ability to continue funding our planned operations into and beyond twelve months from the issuance date is also dependent on the timing and manner of payment of the future contingent milestones fromunder the Kolltan acquisition,Settlement Agreement with SRS, in the event that we achieve the drug candidate milestones related to those payments. We may decide to pay those milestone payments in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof. If we are unable to raise the funds necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue the development of one or more programs, discontinue or delay ongoing or anticipated clinical trials, license out programs earlier than expected, raise funds at a significant discount or on other unfavorable terms, if at all, or sell all or a part of our business.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $80.4$46.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 as compared to $92.7$30.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2021.

We have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs in the area of research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials and clinical drug product manufacturing as our drug candidates are developed. We plan to spend significant amounts to progress our current drug candidates through the clinical trial and commercialization process as well as to develop additional drug candidates. As our drug candidates progress through the clinical trial process, we may be obligated to make significant milestone payments.payments, pursuant to our existing arrangements and arrangements we may enter in the future.

AGGREGATE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The disclosures relating to our contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 which was filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017 have not materially changed since we filed that report.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk as part of our investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital until it is used to fund operations, including our research and development activities. None of these market-risk sensitive instruments are held for trading purposes. We invest our cash primarily in money market mutual funds. These investments are evaluated quarterly to determine the fair value of the portfolio. From time to time, we invest our excess cash balances in marketable securities including municipal bond securities, U.S. government agency securities and high-grade corporate bonds that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in our investment policy. Our investment policy seeks to manage these assets to achieve our goals of preserving principal and maintaining adequate liquidity. Because of the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe we have material exposure due to market risk. The impact to our financial position and results of operations from likely changes in interest rates is not material.

We do not utilize derivative financial instruments. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts payable approximatesapproximate fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”) is the hired representative of the former stockholders of Kolltan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Kolltan”) in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 1, 2016, by and among Kolltan, Connemara Merger Sub 1, Inc., Connemara Merger Sub 2 LLC, and SRS (“Merger Agreement”). On August 18, 2020, we filed a Verified Complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against SRS (acting in its capacity as the representative of the former stockholders of Kolltan pursuant to the Merger Agreement) seeking declaratory relief with respect to the rights and obligations of the parties relating to certain contingent milestone payments under the Merger Agreement (the “Litigation”). Specifically, we sought the entry of an order declaring that:

(i)Our determination to discontinue the development of CDX-0158 (formerly known as KTN0158) was proper and valid under the Merger Agreement;

(ii)the Milestone Abandonment Notice dated December 5, 2018 from us was valid and effective under the Merger Agreement and that the “Successful Completion of Phase I Clinical Trial for KTN0158” Milestone has not been achieved and has properly been abandoned; and

(iii)under the Merger Agreement, the barzolvolimab program is not a program that results in milestone payments under the Merger Agreement.

29

Table of Contents

In SRS’ responsive Answer and Verified Counterclaim, SRS made claims of breach of contract with respect to the Merger Agreement, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, declaratory relief, and unjust enrichment regarding abandonment of the CDX-0158 milestones, based in part on SRS’ assertion that the barzolvolimab program is in essence an extension of the CDX-0158 (formerly KTN0158) program.

On June 20, 2022, we entered into a binding settlement term sheet (the "Term Sheet") with SRS, related to the Litigation with SRS, which, upon execution of a definitive settlement agreement and the payment of the Initial Payment (as defined below), would result in the joint dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims and counterclaims in the Litigation. We executed the definitive settlement agreement with SRS on July 15, 2022 (the "Settlement Agreement") and we and SRS jointly filed a Stipulation of Dismissal with prejudice relating to the Litigation on July 19, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the Term Sheet and the Settlement Agreement, all milestone payments provided for by the Merger Agreement are replaced in their entirety with the following payments, each of which is payable only once:

(iv)We paid $15,000,000 upon execution of the Settlement Agreement (the “Initial Payment”).

(v)We shall pay $15,000,000 upon the Successful Completion (as defined in the Term Sheet) of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of CDX-0159, subject to the $2,500,000 contractual credit as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

(vi)We shall pay $52,500,000 upon the first United States Food and Drug Administration or European Medicines Agency, or, in each case, any successor organization, regulatory approval of a Surviving Company Product (as defined the Term Sheet).

The above payment obligations replace, in their entirety, the contingent consideration in the form of development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones of up to $172.5 million contained in the Merger Agreement.

Under the Settlement Agreement, we and SRS provided broad mutual releases of all claims relating to or arising out of the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, all claims brought in the Litigation or that could have been brought in the Litigation.

We elected to pay the Initial Payment in cash. When and if any of the remaining payments described above become due, they shall be payable, at our sole election, in either cash or stock (as set forth in the Merger Agreement) or a combination thereof.

Item 5.Other Information

30

Table of Contents

On November 1, 2017, we determined that we should record a non-cash partial impairment charge of $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to our anti-KIT program. The anti-KIT program was acquired as part of our acquisition of Kolltan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.in the fourth quarter of 2016. We determined that changes in projected development and regulatory timelines related to the anti-KIT program constituted a triggering event that required us to evaluate the intangible asset for impairment. The time periods to receive approvals from the FDA and other regulatory agencies are subject to uncertainty and therefore we will continue to evaluate the development progress for the anti-KIT program and monitor the remaining $27.0 million intangible asset for further impairment. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of this impairment charge.
