Slide 8

Over half of SMARCA4 mutations are Class I loss of function / deleterious mutations (>5% of NSCLC) SMARCA4 mutations are associated with aggressive disease and poor prognosis across a range of cancers Patients with SMARCA4 mutations are not typically eligible for other targeted therapies  Currently treated with standard of care chemotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy SMARCA4 Mutations Occur in ~10% of All NSCLC and to Varying Degrees Across Other Cancers Pancreatic: 3% NSCLC: 10% Esophageal: 8% Gastric: 8% Endometrial: 13% SCLC: 8% Urinary: 9% Colorectal: 6% 1,Dagogo-Jack et al. Journal of Thoracic Oncology. 2020 Foundation Medicine dataset 2 Fernando et al. Nature Communications 2020 SMARCA4 mutations are mostly non-overlapping with other “druggable” mutations


Slide 9

Outcomes for Patients with SMARCA4-mutated NSCLC are Poor with Current Standard of Care Alessi JV, et al. Clinicopathologic and genomic factors impacting efficacy of first-line chemoimmunotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). J Thorac Oncol. 2023 Feb 10:S1556-0864(23)00121-1. doi: 10.1016/j.jtho.2023.01.091. PMID: 36775193 (attached). Response rates are less than 25% and expected median PFS is less than 3 months in first line setting Even greater unmet need in 2nd line where fewer effective treatment options are available Patients treated with first-line chemoimmunotherapy


Slide 10

Selective Targeting of SMARCA2 is an Attractive Approach to Treat SMARCA4 Mutated Cancers Mutations in the chromatin  remodeling complex drive cancer growth and resistance Cancer cells with SMARCA4 mutations become highly dependent on SMARCA2 for survival Selectively degrading SMARCA2 induces "synthetic lethality" in SMARCA4-deficient cancers High selectivity for SMARCA2 has been challenging because of its high similarity to SMARCA4 SMARCA: SWI/SNF-related, Matrix-associated, Actin-dependent Regulator of Chromatin, subfamily A. SMARCA2 is also known as “BRM” // SMARCA4 is also known as “BRG1”

Learning Objectives Why has SMARCA garnered such interest as a target for cancer research? What is the function of SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 in healthy cells? How do SMARCA4 mutations and alterations contribute to tumorigenesis? How does selectively targeting SMARCA2 result in cancer cell death? Why has targeting SMARCA2 been so challenging for researchers?

SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 are highly related, interchangeable ATPase subunits SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 work in a complementary manner Regulate gene expression and cell proliferation Only one or the other is engaged at any given time SMARCA2 is also known as “BRM” SMARCA4 is also known as “BRG1”


Slide 13

More than 20% of all human cancers harbor mutation(s) in at least one of the CR subunits Shain AH, Pollack JR (2013) The Spectrum of SWI/SNF Mutations, Ubiquitous in Human Cancers. PLoS ONE 8(1): e55119 Mutations in the CR complex lead to cancer growth, resistance and poor prognosis Implicated across a wide range of cancers Challenging proteins to target for drug discovery Most frequent * Average frequency of subunit mutation across 18 distinct neoplasms tested CR Complex Mutations* Less frequent Rarely mutated


Slide 14

SMARCA4 mutations occur in ~10% of all NSCLC and to varying degrees across other cancers 1,Dagogo-Jack et al. Journal of Thoracic Oncology. 2020 Foundation Medicine dataset Pancreatic: 3% NSCLC: 10% Esophageal: 8% Gastric: 8% Endometrial: 13% Squamous cell lung: 8% Urinary: 9% Colorectal: 6% Mostly non-overlapping with other “druggable” mutations Types of mutations: Class I (Loss-of-function) Class II (Missense, other)


Slide 15

When SMARCA4 is mutated, tumors become reliant on SMARCA2 for growth and survival SMARCA4-mutated cancers become reliant on SMARCA2 In these cancers, when SMARCA2 is depleted, the CR complex no longer functions Cells can no longer survive and tumors regress “Synthetic Lethality”


Slide 16

Selectively knocking out SMARCA2 induces synthetic lethality in SMARCA4-mutated cancers SMARCA4-mut cancer cells Hoffman GR et al. PNAS (2014); 111 (8): 3128-3133 Vangamudi et al. Cancer Res (2015); 75 (18): 3865-3878. SMARCA4-mut cancer model SMARCA2 gene knockdown shows tumor growth inhibition in SMARCA4-mutated cancers … but NOT in SMARCA4 wild-type cancers SMARCA4 WT cancer cells SMARCA4 WT cancer model


Slide 17

Selective SMARCA2 targeted treatments could have utility treating SMARCA4-mutated cancers Selectively targeting SMARCA2 should induce tumor regression in SMARCA4-mutated cancers In healthy tissue, SMARCA4 should compensate for selectively depleted SMARCA2 If both are depleted, there would likely be adverse effects Selectivity is critical


Slide 18

SMARCA2/4 dual degraders show rapid tumor regressions, but may cause unacceptable toxicity Prelude Data on File. Presented at 6th TPD Summit, 2023 SMARCA2/4 dual degraders showed rapid cell death and tumor regression However, dual degraders also showed toxicity, body weight changes and shorter survival Selectivity is key for a better therapeutic window Rapid cell death and tumor regression … but with unacceptable toxicity in animal models


Slide 19

Achieving SMARCA2 selectivity has been a challenge for industry, until recently Hard to achieve selectivity with inhibitors to the ATPase active site Recent advances in targeted protein degrader technology allows for both potency and selectivity Once “undruggable” target  now in human clinical trials


Slide 20

Targeting SMARCA2 represents an important new field of cancer research Mutations in the Chromatin Remodeling (CR) complex drive cancer growth and resistance SMARCA4 mutations are present in up to 10% of all NSCLC and across other cancers Cancer cells with loss of SMARCA4 expression through mutations or alteration are highly dependent on SMARCA2 for survival Selective SMARCA2 degraders have the potential to induce "synthetic lethality" in SMARCA4-mutated cancers Discovering new agents with high selectivity for SMARCA2 is critical Key  Takeaways

Learning Objectives Why has SMARCA2 selectivity been so hard to achieve? How did Prelude succeed? Why are we so excited about the profile and potency of our lead program, PRT3789?


Slide 23

Selectively targeting SMARCA2 has been a significant challenge for industry Selective SMARCA2 Inhibition is an Unmet Medicinal Chemistry Challenge Bromodomain Binders Non-selective and inactive in SMARCA4 mutated cancer cells1 ATPase Inhibitors Inhibitors show low selectivity for SMARCA2 in cell proliferation assays (<10 fold2 and ~33 fold3) ATPase domain Prelude’s Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) Approach SMARCA2 Selective Degradation is possible through differences in ternary complexes and subsequent ubiquitination of unique lysine residues 1 Vangamudi et al, Cancer Res. 2015 (Pfizer); Taylor et al J. Med. Chem 2022 (Genentech) 2 Papillon et al, J. Med. Chem 2018 (Novartis) 3 AACR 2024 (Foghorn/Lilly)


Slide 24

When it comes to targeting SMARCA2, degraders offer distinct advantages Inhibitors Degraders Potency High Selectivity Extended PD Oral Bioavailability X X Early attempts at achieving both potency and selectivity with inhibitor approaches had challenges Inhibitors do not degrade the target and need to be dosed at levels that retain IC90 coverage continuously Degraders demonstrate sustained PD effect as it takes ~72h for SMARCA2 to resynthesize


Slide 25

Clinical Experience with SMARCA4-mutated NSCLC Dr. Adam Schoenfeld Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center


Slide 45

Learning Objectives How is SMARCA4-mutated advanced NSCLC treated today? What has been our clinical experience in treating these patients? Where would a SMARCA2 degrader fit in clinical practice? How could it change SoC? Where is the unmet need greatest in the treatment of advanced NSCLC?


Slide 46

SMARCA4 mutations occur in ~10% of all NSCLC and to varying degrees across other cancers 1,Dagogo-Jack et al. Journal of Thoracic Oncology. 2020 Foundation Medicine dataset Pancreatic: 3% NSCLC: 10% Esophageal: 8% Gastric: 8% Endometrial: 13% Squamous cell lung: 8% Urinary: 9% Colorectal: 6% Types of mutations: Class I (Loss-of-function) Class II (Missense, other)

Slide 53

There is high unmet need in NSCLC for patients with SMARCA4 mutations In NSCLC, SMARCA4 mutations are observed in ~10% of cases and are associated with more aggressive and invasive disease and shorter survival The majority of these patients are not eligible for other targeted therapies, and therefore are typically treated with chemoimmunotherapy combinations In patients with metastatic NSCLC, SMARCA4 mutations (both Class I & II) have been associated with poor prognosis when given first-line chemo-immunotherapy The unmet need is even greater in 2L NSCLC where few treatment options are approved Key  Takeaways
