Deeply experienced team Located Cambridge UK and Lexington, MA ~119 Employees * NASDAQ: BCYC Cash balance $438.7M * (expected cash runway into 2024) Clinical stage biopharma company pioneering Bicycles – a new differentiated class of innovative medicines 4 Focused on oncology and immuno - oncology with multiple Phase I/II clinical assets (BT5528, BT8009 and BT7480). BT5528 and BT8009 have shown preliminary signs of anti - tumor activity. Trial updates for BT5528 and BT8009 in 2022. * as of December 31, 2021 Extending the clinical utility of Bicycle ® platform into diverse range of therapeutic areas. Generating Bicycles – a novel synthetic peptide modality that enables complex previously undruggable targets to be drugged. Bicycle ® modular format platform based on Nobel Prize science.

BT8009 Monotherapy

 

 

Key takeaways from phase I dose escalation trial to date * 9 Promising clinical activity seen at 5mg/m 2 weekly; dose tolerated, with potential for differentiated and industry - leading product profile • 50% ORR and 75% disease control, including 1 (13%) complete response • Durable responses, with tumor reductions maintained over time • No DLTs, low incidence of skin toxicity, ocular toxicity and neuropathy 7.5mg/m 2 weekly cohort identified as a non - tolerated dose, with GI and fatigue related ‘soft DLTs’ being observed As predicted from preclinical data, BT8009 demonstrates linear pharmacokinetics. In contrast to ADCs, it also demonstrates a short terminal half - life. Alternative dosing frequencies being explored while nearing a recommended Phase 2 dose Expect to provide further updates on clinical progress later in 2022 * All BT8009 data as of 7Mar22
