March 2022 Quarterly Update and Appendix 4C

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Strong cash position of $13.13 million to support cancer therapy programs

  • Recruitment open for expanded cohort of Phase 1b PTX-100 study

  • Solid progress on Cell Therapy Enhancement and OmniCAR programs

  • Ongoing engagement with medical and investment community to build awareness

MELBOURNE Australia, 29 April 2022 - Prescient Therapeutics (ASX: PTX), a clinical-stage oncology company developing personalised therapies for cancer, today reported its March 2022 quarterly results and operating highlights.

Prescient made progress across multiple programs in its diverse and differentiated oncology portfolio. Moreover, the Company remains confident in the potential of its programs, which continue to progress and attract the attention of leaders and innovators across the international oncology community.

Strong financial position

Prescient ended the quarter with a cash balance of $13.12 million. Costs for the quarter included ongoing clinical trials and manufacturing for PTX-100 and PTX-200 as well as development of the OmniCAR next-generation CAR-T platform. Total cash outflows were $1.63 million, including $1.07 million invested in research and development. Payments during the quarter to related parties of the entity and their associates were $284,000. These payments are related to executive director remuneration and superannuation and non-executive director fees. Full details are in the attached Appendix 4C for the March 2022 quarter.

OmniCAR continues to advance

Prescient's OmniCAR is a next-generation cell therapy platform created to address the shortcomings of current-generation CAR-T, by creating cell therapies that able to target multiple cancer antigens simultaneously or sequentially, can be controlled post infusion, and can accommodate any cancer targeting binder (to target a variety of cancers), and any immune cell type. OmniCAR incorporates technology licensed from the pioneers of CAR-T at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as Oxford University.

Solid progress has been made on the OmniCAR platform during the quarter. Current pre-clinical work is focused on three programs: acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Her2 positive solid cancers and glioblastoma multiforme (GMB), an aggressive form of brain cancer. Each of these are highly differentiated and use OmniCAR's unique capabilities to create CAR-T therapies to overcome

challenges faced by other CAR-T therapies. Prescient looks forward to providing detailed and specific updates for each of these highly promising programs in coming quarters. Additionally, Prescient has been regularly presenting OmniCAR at international conferences, where the platform has the potential to accommodate and enhance third party assets.

PTX-100 and PTX-200 recruitment progressing

In early April, the expansion cohort in T-cell lymphomas began screening patients under the leadership of Australia's foremost haematologist, Professor Miles Prince AM, following delivery of newly manufactured drug product from the US.

This expansion cohort will enrol throughout the year with the potential for an interim readout in coming quarters. Medical researchers believe further encouraging responses in this patient population could enable a subsequent registration study and a much shorter path to market in order to help a patient population with almost no current options.

Also during the quarter, the study for PTX-200 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia continued to advance in dose escalation. Three patients in the study with advanced forms of this deadly disease have experienced complete responses to date.

Collaboration with the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre

Prescient's Cell Therapy Enhancements (CTE) program is an ongoing collaboration with the world-renowned Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre aimed at improving the efficiency and efficacy of the current-generation of CAR-T treatments. The insights generated will also be directly applicable to the next-generation CAR-T treatments Prescient is developing.

There has been substantial progress on the CTE program during the quarter. Whilst this program is currently in stealth mode for commercial reasons, Prescient looks forward to revealing details of the CTE program shortly.

Maintaining a positive outlook

Prescient extends appreciation to all shareholders for their ongoing support. Management and the Board acknowledge the turbulent market backdrop, but remain highly focused and confident in the Company's direction and prospects to deliver both value for shareholders and real improvements in the options available for doctors to treat cancer patients.

About Prescient Therapeutics Limited (Prescient)

Prescient Therapeutics is a clinical stage oncology company developing personalised medicine approaches to cancer, including targeted and cellular therapies.

Cell Therapies

OmniCAR: is a universal immune receptor platform enabling controllable T-cell activity and multi- antigen targeting with a single cell product. OmniCAR's modular CAR system decouples antigen recognition from the T-cell signalling domain. It is the first universal immune receptor allowing post- translational covalent loading of binders to T-cells. OmniCAR is based on technology licensed from Penn; the SpyTag/SpyCatcher binding system licensed from Oxford University; and other assets.

The targeting ligand can be administered separately to CAR-T cells, creating on-demand T-cell activity post infusion and enables the CAR-T to be directed to an array of different tumour antigens. OmniCAR provides a method for single-vector, single cell product targeting of multiple antigens simultaneous or sequentially, whilst allowing continual re-arming to generate, regulate and diversify a sustained T-cell response over time.

Prescient is developing OmniCAR programs for next-generation CAR-T therapies for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML); Her2+ solid tumours, including breast, ovarian and gastric cancers; and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

Cell Therapy Enhancements: Prescient has several other initiatives underway to develop new cell therapy approaches.

Targeted Therapies

PTX-100 is a first in class compound with the ability to block an important cancer growth enzyme known as geranylgeranyl transferase-1 (GGT-1). It disrupts oncogenic Ras pathways by inhibiting the activation of Rho, Rac and Ral circuits in cancer cells, leading to apoptosis (death) of cancer cells. PTX- 100 is believed to be the only GGT-1 inhibitor in the world in clinical development. PTX-100 demonstrated safety and early clinical activity in a previous Phase 1 study and recent PK/PD basket study of hematological and solid malignancies. PTX-100 is now in a Phase 1b expansion cohort study in T cell lymphomas.

PTX-200 is a novel PH domain inhibitor that inhibits an important tumour survival pathway known as Akt, which plays a key role in the development of many cancers, including breast and ovarian cancer, as well as leukemia. Unlike other drug candidates that target Akt inhibition, PTX-200 has a novel mechanism of action that specifically inhibits Akt without non-specific kinase inhibition effects. This highly promising compound has previously generated encouraging Phase 2a data in HER2-negative breast cancer and Phase 1b in recurrent or persistent platinum resistant ovarian cancer, with a Phase 1b/2 trial currently underway in relapsed and refractory AML.

The Board of Prescient Therapeutics Limited has approved the release of this announcement.
