EXHIBIT A
CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
API's goal is to progress the BC8-I-131 program into a pivotal clinical trial as soon as possible. The initial development plan is envisioned as a Pivotal Phase II clinical trial.
This approach was considered the best and most likely in the discussion with leading transplanters. The trial would be a non-randomized single arm trial in advanced active AML patients (refractory and in florid relapse). All enrolled patients would receive reduced intensity external total body irradiation (TBI) plus fludarabine and BC8-I-131 at the MTD established in the earlier reference trial. There will be no control arm based on the input from hematologists and transplanters that these patients will not qualify for either myeloablative regimen (age, concomitant conditions) or reduced intensity myeloconditioning (futile) and all other alternatives are futile, therefore the patients will drop out of the trial if they are randomized to control arm.
The assumption is that FDA would require at least 40-60 patients to be treated in this single arm trial if they were to agree to it. If the expected improvement in survival is assessed to be 50% instead of two to three times the improvement, trial size may be 120 patients. Descriptive statistics with reference to historic controls would be the outcome. FDA may be less likely to allow this approach, given their recent positions on non-randomized trials, even in cancer.
If allowed, this study would take —2 years until submission and cost $ 9.9 MM if the trial size is 60 patients and 2.5 years at the cost of $ 13.9 MM for 120 patients.
Assumptions:
Patient population: ref/rel AML with active disease, patients not eligible for myeloablative HSCT
(patients over 50)
Trial design: single arm with historical controls, one year follow-up
Primary end-point: 1 year survival
Trial size: 60 patients
Number of centers: 5 - 7
Accrual per month per center: 1 patient
An IND submission for a pivotal trial requires that a number of tasks be completed or be in process. Most of them are independent of the protocol, i.e. will have to be done in exactly the same way regardless of the protocol design that will be finally accepted by the FDA (integrated safety and efficacy databases creation, all manufacturing tasks). During that process, i.e. during Q3 2012, API will approach the FDA and propose a single arm ref/rel AML trial as outlined above. Simultaneously, API will continue to work with the leading clinicians to explore pathways to a randomized trial in both ref/rel AML and HR MDS trial and if the FDA turns down a single arm design, API will submit an IND with a randomized trial protocol.
Given that adequate clinical supplies for study initiation are not slated to be available until the end of 2012, and preparations for the protocol and briefing document for the ref/rel AML trial were to begin in June, the meeting should occur in Q 3. If FDA does not accept the single arm AML trial approach, subsequent to the meeting the HR MDS randomized trial protocol would be submitted with a request for a T-Con with FDA, or alternatively a rel/ref AML randomized protocol, if it is possible to design it in a way acceptable to investigators. This should be scheduled during Q4 which would allow for
18

IND submission late Q4/early Q1 and trial initiation 30 days later. The total impact of the Ref/rel AML approach first would be 90-120 days, but most of this time will occur before CMC information needed for ND submission is available.
Manufacturing of BC8 antibody is currently taking place at FHCRC using a small batch method, but still adequate for transfer to other facilities (80L fill). It is a GMP compliant manufacturing facility, but is missing certain additional attributes FDA would like to see on BLA inspection. The plan will be to use BC8 manufactured at FHCRC for initial material, while we transfer the process to another cGMP facility. Initially, we will need to characterize material manufactured at FHCRC, and follow it for stability as well as use it in some comparability testing. This will constitute initial clinical supply as well. As we transfer the process to another facility, we will also qualify new reference material that will become the standard reference material (SRM). The FDA requested that FHCRC develop SRM two years ago, and FHCRC agreed to that but has not developed it so far, so the characterization of the FHCRC materials described above will have to move quickly.
Manufacturing of the final drug construct BC8-I-131 is currently taking place at the University of Washington. The process is in need of bringing up to commercial standards.
In order to develop larger scale manufacturing that would easily facilitate a multicenter trial, API proposes the following development plan:

- | Order two “regular size” (80L) batches of the BC8 to be manufactured at FHCRC. Due to the continuous manufacturing schedule at FHCRC, it is estimated that the first new batch for API studies would be available in November 2012. The first batch would allow for treatment of approximately 20 patients.
- | A second batch would need to be manufactured early in 2013 to ensure sufficient mAb supplies for approximately 6 months, i.e. until late 2013.
- | At the same time, API would undertake process transfer, scale up, manufacturing, QA/QC, bioequivalence and accelerated stability studies of a larger batch of the mAb (approximately 125 - 200 patient doses), to be ready to use by the end of March 2013
- | In the interim, existing dose material in the form of the BC8-1-131 construct, will be part of a stability/ shipping protocol and will undergo analytical testing to assure it remains potent under expected prep, ship and handling situations.
- | In parallel, API would have process development conducted en route to develop a GMPcompliant centralized manufacturing process of the final construct (BC8-I-131) at a CMO. API continues discussions with potential contract manufacturers, three of which have been identified and one provided a quote.

The timing, order and form of all the steps outlined above will depend and may be significantly influenced by the Company funding, regulatory requirements and feedback, FHCRC collaboration, manufacturing issues that may arise and other factors commonly affecting development of new drugs.

EXHIBIT B
Materials to be delivered to Company
FHCRC will deliver to Company all available quantities of BC8 MAb except for those currently committed to the conduct of internal research, including clinical research, at FHCRC, and will undertake to cooperate with Company in the transfer of the MCB and the Working Cell Bank (“WCB”) related there to (except for such portion of the WCB as is reasonably required by FHCRC to produce antibody for its own use) and to the facilities listed below. FHCRC will transfer all relevant INDs and Drug Master Files to Company. MAb, MCB and WCB shall be shipped in liquid nitrogen to the following sites: 1) 1/3rd of materials to BioReliance Corporation, 4920 Broschart Road, Rockville, MD 20850; and, 2) 2/3rds to ThermoFisher Scientific, 81 Wyman Street, Waltham, MA 02454. Included in the transfers will be manufacturing and characterization records for the MCB and WCB.

EXHIBIT C
RESEARCH WORK PLAN
Detailed research work plan will be determined by Sponsored Research Agreement and modified as needed and agreed to by both parties. Initial general direction of the research is further development of radioimmunotherapy for bone marrow conditioning/ablation prior to hematopoetic stem cell transplantation or bone marrow transplantation. The targeting agent during the first stage of development will be the BC8 monoclonal antibody.
The following lines of development will be initially pursued:

- | Radiolabeling of BC8 with actinium 225, including in vitro and in vivo experiments and development of supporting regulatory documentation that may lead to clinical trials
- | Development of high affinity engineered nanoparticles technology as means of binding alpha particle emitters to monoclonal antibodies
- | Development of pretargeted radioimmunotherapy technology (PRIT) (streptavidin/biotin system)

The sequence of execution and details of this Research Work Plan will be determined in separate Sponsored Research Agreement.
