OPENING REMARKS Mark W. Schwartz, Ph.D. President and Chief Executive Officer 4

Pseudo-Progression with Immunotherapy Definition: Appearance of progression on radiographic imaging due to increased tumor size (swelling) from tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL’s) and other immune cells • A growing or new tumor detected via imaging isn't always progressing cancer Discovery of pseudoprogression in the context of cancer immunotherapy in the last few years has changed the criteria for use of imaging as a method for diagnosing tumor progression • Image of a new tumor may simply represent an immune system response to undetectable micrometastasis that would not otherwise be seen on the scan irRECIST (Immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) adapted rules that provide better assessment of the effect of immunotherapeutic agents Reference: https://www.lungevity.org/about-lung-cancer/experts-blog/immunotherapy-and-concept-of-pseudo-progression 5

PHASE 3 PRESENT TOP-LINE INTERIM RESULTS

PRESENT Top-Line Interim DFS Results NeuVax Arm Control Arm Data based on interim data cut. p-value = 0.07 Median time on trial 19.7 months

Imaging in the PRESENT Trial NeuVax Arm Control Arm 1st Imaging ~Month 12 2nd Imaging ~Month 24 3rd Imaging ~Month 36 Pre-treatment Imaging DFS Adjudicated Events Diagnosed by Clinical Presentation Proactive Imaging 66% of DFS events found via Proactive Imaging 24 47 Data based on interim data cut.

Composition of 71 DFS events at Interim Analysis 10 DFS Event NeuVax Arm (n = 376) Control Arm (n = 382) Recurrence of Primary Cancer 36 (9.6%) 23 (6.0%) Occurrence of another Cancer 5 (1.3%) 4 (1.0%) Death from any cause 2 (0.5%) 1 (0.3%) 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 Active Placebo T im e t o D F S ( m on th s ) (n= 7 1 ) Percentage of DFS events found by proactive imaging around 12 months: NeuVax = 60% Control = 32% Data based on interim data cut.

Pseudo-Progression in Cancer Immunotherapy & The PRESENT Trial In adjuvant setting, immunological therapies require extended clinical monitoring over time to evaluate their effectiveness in preventing recurrences of clinical significance This inflammation can be potentially beneficial, but paradoxically show as worsening of a tumor or be assessed inaccurately as a recurrence in the case of micrometasteses Inflammation changes the consistency (more opaque to XRay) and the volume (swelling), which makes a micrometastasis visible that otherwise would not have been detected, or a tumor appears to be enlarged on a CT Scan In the period of immunostimulation, immune inflammatory cells (NeuVax T-Cells) enter the tumor or micrometastases and create inflammation which includes edema, and attracts inflammatory cells 11

Summary Low rate of recurrence seen in the control arm may have resulted from an overall improvement in the standard of care Existing lesions were discovered by proactive imaging • May not have had any clinical significance at the time of identification • Lesions changed by inflammation and may never have progressed to clinical tumors The inflammation caused by NeuVax induced cytotoxic T-cells (TILs) within the micrometastases made the lesions visible on scans in the NeuVax group and not the control group Pseudo-Recurrence 12

Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) Diagnosis • Chronic hematologic malignancy with no known cause • Symptoms • Diagnostic tools • Blood test • Bone marrow biopsy • Gene mutation test Common Symptoms • Headache • Vision disturbances or migraines • Dizziness or lightheadedness • Coldness or blueness of fingers or toes • Burning, redness, and pain in the hands and feet Thrombotic Complications • Stroke • Transient ischemic attack (TIA) • Heart attack • DVT or pulmonary embolus • Blood clotting in unusual locations Risk Factors •Women 1.5x more likely • Patients >60 years old, with 20% <40 years • Mutations • JAK2 - 50% • CALR ~25% 16 Source: MPN Research Foundation

Current ET Treatment Options Hydroxyurea • Generally first line therapy • Cytotoxic Myelosuppressive drug (reduces other blood cells as well) • Increased risk of developing acute leukemia after long term • Avoided in younger patients • ~25% of patients intolerant/refractory Anagrelide IR • Poor tolerability and compliance thought to be related to blood concentrations • Non cytotoxic drug • Not associated with increased risk of leukemia • Significant side effects Aspirin • Given to reduce the risk of blood clotting • May help relieve the burning sensation in patient’s hands and feet (erythromelagia) Other Therapies • Interferon • Busulfan • Retry hydroxyurea • Observation 17 Sources: Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: Essential Thrombocythemia Facts Cervantes, F. Hematology 2011; 215-221

GALE-401 Development Summary Potential Clinical Benefits from Phase 2 trial • Potentially faster onset of action • Consistent efficacy • Indication of improved tolerability vs anagrelide IR • Twice a day dosing with a PK profile supportive of once-a-day dosing Strong Development Rational • Novel proprietary formulation of FDA approved product with known mechanism of action • 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for approval (to be confirmed with the FDA) • Intellectual property allowing market exclusivity through 2029 18

GALE-401 ET Development Opportunity Diagnosed patient population for ET • US Prevalence: 135,000 - 175,000 Limited competition with very few agents in development Multiple life cycle management opportunities Next steps • End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA • Finalize the Phase 3 clinical trial design • Initiate pivotal trial in Q2, 2017 19 Sources: Harrison et al N Engl J Med 2005;353:33-45; Mehta et al, (2014) Epidemiology of myeloproliferative neoplasms in the United States, Leukemia & Lymphoma, 55:3, 595-600, DOI: 10.3109/10428194.2013.813500
