PLANEGG/MUNICH, Germany - November 4, 2021 - MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; NASDAQ: MOR) today announced that new data on approved and clinical-stage therapeutics will be presented during the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting from December 11-14 in Atlanta, Georgia United States. Ten abstracts were accepted, including two oral presentations, from the comprehensive MorphoSys portfolio, including abstracts for the BET inhibitor pelabresib, which MorphoSys added to its pipeline through the acquisition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals.

"MorphoSys continues to contribute significantly to scientific advances in hematology-oncology with our cancer immunotherapy and our expanded portfolio including the development of epigenetic modifiers," said Malte Peters, MD, MorphoSys Chief Research and Development Officer. "The important data published in our ASH presentations show our commitment to finding cures that redefine how cancer is treated."

The MANIFEST and RE-MIND2 presentations at ASH 2021 are the culmination of a transformational year for MorphoSys. Through groundbreaking proprietary research in immunotherapy and the addition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals' high-potential product candidates, MorphoSys has bolstered its position as an emerging leader in hematology- oncology.

Highlights of presentations from the MorphoSys hematology-oncology portfolio include:

  • An update of clinical and translational data from the ongoing MANIFEST trial for JAK naïve patients treated with pelabresib (CPI-0610) in combination with ruxolitinib (study arm 3), representing the analysis for the primary endpoint SVR35
  • An update of clinical and translational data from the ongoing MANIFEST trial for pelabresib (CPI-0610) monotherapy in patients with myelofibrosis
  • Expanded Real-WorldRE-MIND2 dataset comparing tafasitamab and lenalidomide (Tafa+Len) outcomes to those observed in matched cohorts of 1) polatuzumab vedotin plus bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR), 2) rituximab plus lenalidomide (R2); and 3) CAR-T therapies

About Tafasitamab

Tafasitamab is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting monoclonal antibody. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb® engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including antibody-dependentcell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).

Monjuvi®(tafasitamab-cxix) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued

approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement to further develop and commercialize tafasitamab globally. Monjuvi® is being co-commercialized by Incyte and MorphoSys in the United States. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights outside the United States.

In Europe, Minjuvi® (tafasitamab) received conditional approval, in combination with lenalidomide, followed by Minjuvi monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Tafasitamab is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic option in B-cell malignancies in several ongoing combination trials.

Minjuvi® and Monjuvi® are registered trademarks of MorphoSys AG. Tafasitamab is co-marketed by Incyte and MorphoSys under the brand name Monjuvi® in the U.S., and marketed by Incyte under the brand name Minjuvi® in the EU.

XmAb® is a registered trademark of Xencor, Inc.

About MANIFEST

MANIFEST is an open-label Phase 2 clinical trial of pelabresib (CPI-0610) in patients with myelofibrosis (MF), a rare cancer of the bone marrow that disrupts the body's normal production of blood cells. Constellation is evaluating pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib in JAK-inhibitor-naïve MF patients (Arm 3), with a primary endpoint of the proportion of patients with a ≥35% spleen volume reduction from baseline (SVR35) after 24 weeks of

treatment. Constellation Pharmaceuticals is also evaluating pelabresib either as a monotherapy in patients who are resistant to, intolerant of, or ineligible for ruxolitinib and no longer on the drug (Arm 1), or as add-on therapy in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with a sub-optimal response to ruxolitinib or MF progression (Arm 2). Patients in Arms 1 and 2 are being stratified based on transfusion dependent (TD) status. The primary endpoint for the patients in cohorts 1A and 2A, who were TD at baseline, is conversion to transfusion independence for 12 consecutive weeks. The primary endpoint for patients in cohorts 1B and 2B, who were not TD at baseline, is the proportion of patients with a ≥35% spleen volume reduction from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment.
