BREAKTHROUGH CANCER PAIN
NCCN 2013 Guidelines recommend use of a rapid-onset opioid for BTcP*
Cancer pain is caused by damage to body tissues related to disease activity
(e.g., tumors pressing on nerves) or by treatments (e.g., surgery, chemo, radiation).
Breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) is different from
persistent pain treated with long- and short-acting
opioids
Short-acting opioids do not start working until rapidonset BTcP has subsided, leaving patients with
long-lasting sedative effects
Characteristics of breakthrough cancer pain
Fast
Maximum severity within 3 minutes
Short
Median of 30 minutes
Frequent
4-7 episodes per day
Unpredictable
Usually not associated with specific
behavior or physical activity
>50%
of patients
with cancer
have BTcP
*when BTcP is not attributed to inadequate dosing of short- or long-acting opioids for persistent pain

NEUVAX DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
u  Adjuvant
therapy after standard of care (SOC) surgery,
chemotherapy, radiotherapy
u  Prevent
breast cancer recurrence
•  Systemic recurrence = very poor overall survival
•  25% of resectable node-positive breast cancer patients, despite having
no evidence of disease following surgery and chemo/radiation therapy, will
still relapse within 3 years
u  NeuVax
+ GM-CSF
•  Node Positive
•  HER2 1+, 2+, 3+

SN-33 Phase 2 HER2 IHC 1+/2+ (N=45)
When the HER2 3+ patients were excluded from the population, the Phase 2 HER2 IHC 1+2/+ Vaccine Group had a significantly
improved DFS at 24 months (100% vs. 77.8%, p=0.035); at 60 months, VG retains a 20.3% difference (VG 94.4% vs. CG 74.1%).
23
PHASE 2 CONCLUSIONS
NeuVax demonstrated a statistically improved Disease Free Survival (DFS) at 36 months
(100% vs. 77.8%, p=0.035)
Phase 3 target patient population defined:
u 
• 
Node positive, HLA A2/3, HER2 IHC 1+/2+ or low to intermediate patients
• 
Dose and schedule
Defined development path based on Phase 2 interim data, confirmed by final data
Phase 3 FDA approved SPA (Special Protocol Assessment) established primary endpoint as 36 month DFS
u 
• 
SPA: Initiated 2007 / Approved 2009
u 
Validated at 24 (2010) and 36 (2011) month landmark analyses
u 
Exploratory ITT population (n=97) showed a 33% relative reduction of recurrence at 60 months

Active ingredient = anagrelide
u 
Anagrelide reduces the elevated platelet count
and the risk of thrombosis
u 
Immediate release (IR) version approved for the
treatment of patients with thrombocythemia,
secondary to myeloproliferative neoplasms
(MPNs)
•  MPNs are hematological malignancies in which the
bone marrow cells develop and function abnormally
u 
IR formulation can cause unacceptable side
effects

Controlled Release (CR)
formulation expected to

“I've had several friends
who've had (breast cancer)
