Future potential for Abi-suva
HPV16+ driven cancers
Incidence of HPV16+ driven cancers in EU
and US is ~ 134,0001,2,3
VB-C-02 trial indicates a strong and durable
clinical effect in advanced cervical cancer patients
Sales in HPV+ driven cancers expected to
increase with new treatments available and treatment in earlier settings
Current focus of Abi-suva
1L r/m HNSCC
Incidence of HPV16+ driven HNSCC cancers
in EU and US is ~ 63,0001,2,3
Unmet need as current SOC has 19% ORR
and 12.3 mOS. Most HNSCC treatments in development are focused on HPV negative population.
HPV16+ HNSCC sales are expected to grow
to $2.3bn in 2034 (CAGR of 9.2%)4

Interim analyses for efficacy are planned throughout the trial, with the first analysis of approx. 33% of patients expected during 2027
Significant advancements in the Abili-T trialAchieved since announcement of trial (August 2025):
Protocol submitted to UK regulatory authorities in November
Protocol submitted to relevant EU regulatory authorities in December
Secured supply of pembrolizumab with MSD
Protocol approved by UK regulatory authorities in December
Next steps:
Protocol expected approved by relevant EU regulatory authorities in 1H 2026
First patient dosed expected in 1H 2026
Abili-T will have meaningful interim readout within 2027

VB10.NEO delivers on all key success factors for an ideal Individualized Neoantigen Therapy candidate
Clinical experience
Nykode's two clinical trials* show clear vaccine induced immune responses
Antigen selection
NeoSELECT -
Nykode's proprietary algorithm selects relevant NeoAntigens
Supply chain
Nykode has a robust and proven supply chain with competitive turnaround-time
Costs
Nykode's DNA based therapy has advantage on cost and manufacturing complexity
Nykode is well positioned as most attractive unencumbered INT ready to leverage peer readouts
* N-01 and N-02
Further important milestonesNew U.S. Patent Granted for VB10.NEO
relating to the proprietary NeoSELECTTM platform selecting neoantigens for VB10.NEO
Presenting new data from 2 clinical trials at SITC
NeoSELECT prioritizes immunogenic neoantigens with clinical and immunological relevance
Peer readouts within next 15 months can create a strong conviction for INTs
VB10.NEO is we l positioned in the field of individualized neoantigen therapies.
VB10.NEO meets requirement for ideal INT technology
Continuing to strengthen this position with key activities focused on further optimizing robustness across products
ToleranceNykode Therapeutics | Q4 '25 webcast | Non-confidential 15
Key factors for a successful ASIT platform
An ASIT platform should have following key factors to succeed:
Convenient delivery
route supporting clinical translation
Regulate all major
autoreactive disease-causing
cells
Long durable
reversion of disease symptoms
Therapeutic efficacy
across diseases
MultiAg
Capability
Immune
regulation
Durability
Efficacy
Manufacture &
Delivery
AI competencies for
multi-antigen drug design to address
disease complexity
Continued progress with the ASIT platform
Presented new preclinical data indicating that our ASIT platform has the ability to modulate the humoral component of the immune response by reducing auto-antibodies in an EAE model, even after disease on-set
Further expanding the ASIT platform into a new preclinical disease model, Vitiligo, demonstrating that Nykode's targeted approach is capable of reducing CD8+ disease-mediated T cell response.
Clinical translatability: proof of principle on human cellsTuneable immune regulation observed with novel human specific APC-targeting
