FDA Highlights for OGX-011 in 2008 SPA approved with FDA for Phase 3 trial of OGX-011 evaluating overall survival in 2nd-line docetaxel treatment of CRPC Fast Track designation received from FDA for the development of OGX-011 FDA agreement that durable pain palliation is an acceptable and desirable primary endpoint to support market approval FDA guidance on a Phase 3 trial of OGX-011 evaluating durable pain palliation in 2nd-line docetaxel treatment of CRPC

Clinical Development Strategy for Approval Clinical Development Strategy is to obtain the following indication: OGX-011 in combination with docetaxel chemotherapy is indicated for the treatment of metastatic CRPC There are three possible Phase 3 trials that would provide evidence of safety and efficacy for OGX-011 in patients with metastatic CRPC. OGX-011-11: Primary endpoint is survival in 1st-line docetaxel chemotherapy OGX-011-08: Primary endpoint is survival in 2nd-line docetaxel chemotherapy OGX-011-10: Primary endpoint is durable pain palliation in 2nd-line docetaxel chemotherapy Selecting two of the above Phase 3 trials will be discussed with FDA

OGX-427: Clinical Pipeline Highlight Target/Opportunity: Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) / Treatment resistant cancers including prostate, breast, lung, ovarian, bladder, pancreas, multiple myeloma, and others Mechanism of Action1: OGX-427 reduces Hsp27 levels and facilitates apoptosis by: Increasing Bax leading to increased Cytochrome C Increasing IK-B leading to decreased NF-KB Increasing protein aggregation leading to increased ER stress Decreasing IGF-1 and IL-6 signal transduction Increasing FasL mediated cell death Decreasing Androgen receptor activity Pre-clinical Data: Induces tumor cell death as monotherapy or in combination Clinical Status: Phase 1 trial evaluating OGX-427 as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy: Monotherapy portion completed without reaching MTD, currently evaluating with chemotherapy. Future plans for Phase 1 in bladder cancer 1 Assumed mechanism of action

Other Pipeline & Corporate Highlights in 2008 SN2310 Completed Phase 1 clinical trial. Dose-limiting toxicity defining the MTD in this heavily pretreated study population was significant neutropenia. OGX-011 OncoGenex increased its interest in OGX-011 through an amended development agreement with ISIS. CSP-9222 Exclusive in-licensing agreement with Bayer HealthCare LLC for development of family of compounds with CSP-922 as the leading compound

Key Objectives for 2009 ASCO 2009 Report final data from the randomized Phase 2 trial evaluating OGX-011 with 1st-line docetaxel treatment in CRPC Q2 2009 Complete SPA agreement with FDA on the design of a second Phase 3 registration trial evaluating durable pain palliation with 2nd-line docetaxel treatment in CRPC Q3 2009 Discuss with FDA a Phase 3 registration trial evaluating 1st-line docetaxel ? OGX-011 for regulatory approval with one Phase 3 trial in 2nd-line docetaxel treatment 2009 Secure a development/commercial partnership for OGX-011 ASCO 2009 Report data from OGX-427 Phase 1 clinical trial Q2 2009 Initiate a Phase 1 trial for OGX-427 in bladder cancer
