Slide 10

Evolving Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Market Dynamics Current Market Our Vision New drugs with better tolerability and efficacy profiles further drive increased switching rates and gain rapid adoption (similar to the HIV market) Additional focus from patients and doctors on deeper molecular responses (TFR) as well as tolerability and convenience factors for long-term treatment Chronic nature of CML allows doctors to freely switch between therapies, with limited consequences, thereby blurring lines of therapy Treatment decisions guided holistically based on individual patient (co-meds, co-morbidities, tolerability, etc.) for >70% patients Treatment decisions are guided by mutation status, etc. in only 15-20% of patients who develop BCR-ABL mutations or other molecular abnormalities CML is a chronic disease requiring many years (even decades) of treatment 10% overall share (by patients) equates to >$1 billion market opportunity in the U.S. alone† Treatment Duration for SOC by Line of Therapy Current Outcomes in CML *Develop BCR/ABL Mutations **Develop other molecular abnormalities. † Assumes current branded pricing CML = Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. SOC = Standard of care. TFR = Treatment free remission. TKI = Tyrosine kinase inhibitor Reference: Baccarani M and Gale RP. Leukemia. 2021; 35:2199-2204. Growing patient population due to improved survival, requiring some patients to be on TKIs for decades Existing approved drugs have liabilities as chronic therapy, including poor tolerability due to off-target effects and inability to dose to maximal efficacy resulting in high switch rates Nevertheless, the five approved drugs (including generics) drive annual sales of >$6B, with every drug achieving ~$500M in sales and multiple drugs achieving sales of >$2B Sustained TFR 5- Normal Survival on Contin. TKI* 10% Progress to Acute Phase and Death*,** 5-10%


Slide 11

ELVN-001 Potentially Affords an Improved Therapeutic Index MMR = Major molecular response. MTD = Maximum tolerated dose. NHP = Non-human primate 1Dasatinib was excluded from our analysis due to its short half-life in humans (3-5 hours), however early clinical responses correlated with dasatinib concentrations above its pCRKL IC50 for more than 13 hours. *NHP data for ponatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib were obtained from the data reported for the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in their respective NDAs (Cmin was estimated). NHP data from 28-day GLP tox study for ELVN-001 at 5 mg/kg, a well-tolerated, no adverse event dose (NOAEL) y-axis: mean Cmin plasma concentration at the human approved dose (or NHP MTD) divided by K562 pCRKL IC50 in 100% human serum   Reference: Ishida et al. Eur J Clin Pharmacol. 2016;72(2):185-93. Toxicology studies with other ABL TKIs show that the maximum tolerated drug exposure is similar between non-human primates and humans Data suggests ELVN-001 has the potential for significantly greater therapeutic index than existing TKIs Target Coverage at Cmin vs. 1L MMR Therapeutic Index vs. NHP Safety Margin Clear correlation between target coverage of the approved agents and major molecular response rate (MMR) at 12 months1 Phosphorylated CRKL or pCRKL IC50 represents a robust pharmacodynamic marker for BCR-ABL inhibition *


Slide 12

Target Product Profile ELVN-001 Clinical Focus and Target Product Profile Progressed/Intolerant CP-CML Explore early LoT & combinations Seek to demonstrate improved efficacy (CCyR, MMR, MR4.5) and tolerability Single-arm study; precedent for approval in last line based on CCyR/MMR by 12m T315I mutation in ponatinib or asciminib progressed/intolerant/ineligible Superiority based on 12m MMR in CP-CML Fewer dose reductions/discontinuations vs. approved agents Dose Escalation in 3L+ and Expansion 4L+ and T315I mutation Early Line H2H vs Physician’s Choice Activity against native BCR-ABL and T315I mutation (& known asciminib resistant mutations) High selectivity vs. clinically relevant off-targets Efficacy: MMR (& MR4.5) greater than approved TKIs driven by an enhanced therapeutic window Tolerability: fewer dose reductions & discontinuations Safety: No black box warnings; no edema, effusions, or rash No restrictions with concomitant medications CCyR = Complete cytogenetic response. CP-CML = Chronic phase CML. H2H = Head-to-head. LoT = Line of therapy. MMR = Major molecular response. MR4.5 = Deep molecular response. TKI = Tyrosine kinase inhibitors Our Opportunity Drive Deeper Responses Improve Tolerability Enhance Safety & Convenience


Slide 13

ELVN-002: Opportunity for a Selective Irreversible Pan-Mutant HER2 TKI Current HER2 TKI Landscape Designed to irreversibly inhibit HER2 and multiple key HER2 mutations, including HER2 YVMA and L755, and Selectively inhibit HER2 while sparing EGFR to prevent EGFR-related toxicities, with the potential for improved efficacy in NSCLC and other cancers Demonstrated superior pre-clinical activity in HER2-amplified subcutaneous and intracranial models, and an improved safety margin in NHPs compared to tucatinib Our HER2 Candidate: ELVN-002 The high degree of structural homology between EGFR and HER2 makes it difficult to design HER2-selective inhibitors Most approved and investigational agents are dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors that are dose-limited by EGFR-driven toxicity Tucatinib is the only approved HER2-selective TKI, but lacks potency against key mutants, including HER2 YVMA, the most common Exon 20 insertion mutation (E20IM) in NSCLC, and L755, the most common HER2 breast cancer mutation Current HER2 TKIs do not achieve sufficient CNS free drug levels to address brain metastases, leading to disease progression in patients with lung and breast cancer We believe that our product candidate, if it achieves the target profile, will be able to achieve an improved therapeutic index compared to current approved and investigational TKIs as well as provide a meaningful therapeutic option to patients with brain metastases CNS = Central nervous. IM = Insertion mutation. NSCLC = Non-small cell lung caner. TKI = Tyrosine kinase inhibitor. NHP = non-human primate.


Slide 14

HER2 Mutant NSCLC May Provide More Rapid Market Entrance Opportunity with Expansion into Other HER2-Driven Cancers to Follow *Other cancers include prostate, endometrial, gastric, stomach, hepatobiliary, etc. BRC = Breast cancer. GI = Gastrointestinal. NSCLC = Non-small cell lung cancer. MBC = Metastatic breast cancer Reference: Robichaux et al. Cancer Cell. 2019;36(4):444-457.e7; SGEN 2Q22 Investor Presentation (28July2022) Approximately 3% of NSCLC patients harbor HER2 mutations, for which there are no approved TKIs ~70% of all HER2 mutations in lung cancer are HER2 YVMA High unmet need in this indication may provide a fast to market opportunity Represents a larger market with limited treatment options Largest potential market opportunity, with nearly 30K metastatic patients across breast, colorectal, and gastric cancers Despite the advances in therapeutic options for HER2+ breast cancer, ~25% of patients experience primary or acquired resistance, and up to 50% of patients develop brain metastasis Despite limitations, Tukysa (tucatinib) is on a ~$335mm revenue run rate with only a 2L+ HER2+ MBC label Initial Focus: HER2 Mutant NSCLC Secondary Focus: Other HER2 Mutant Cancers Indication Expansion: HER2 Amplified Cancers US Market Size Estimates 30


Slide 15

Current investigational dual EGFR/HER2 TKIs are roughly equipotent against EGFR and HER2 YVMA ELVN-002 was >100x More Selective for HER2 YVMA Relative to EGFR Than Dual EGFR/HER2 Competitors Lack of Differentiation Across Next Generation TKIs Neratinib Pyrotinib BDTX-189 Poor efficacy & tolerability in HER2 mutant setting Phase 1b/2 30% ORR in HER2 mutant NSCLC, poor tolerability Poor efficacy & tolerability in HER2 mutant setting Investigational dual inhibitors Our selective product candidate ORR = Overall response rate.

ELVN-001 Potentially Affords an Improved Therapeutic Index MMR = Major molecular response. MTD = Maximum tolerated dose. NHP = Non-human primate 1Dasatinib was excluded from our analysis due to its short half-life in humans (3-5 hours), however early clinical responses correlated with dasatinib concentrations above its pCRKL IC50 for more than 13 hours. *NHP data for ponatinib, nilotinib, and dasatinib were obtained from the data reported for the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in their respective NDAs (Cmin was estimated). NHP data from 28-day GLP tox study for ELVN-001 at 5 mg/kg, a well-tolerated, no adverse event dose (NOAEL) y-axis: mean Cmin plasma concentration at the human approved dose (or NHP MTD) divided by K562 pCRKL IC50 in 100% human serum   Reference: Ishida et al. Eur J Clin Pharmacol. 2016;72(2):185-93. Toxicology studies with other ABL TKIs show that the maximum tolerated drug exposure is similar between non-human primates and humans Data suggests ELVN-001 has the potential for significantly greater therapeutic index than existing TKIs Target Coverage at Cmin vs. 1L MMR Therapeutic Index vs. NHP Safety Margin Clear correlation between target coverage of the approved agents and major molecular response rate (MMR) at 12 months1 Phosphorylated CRKL or pCRKL IC50 represents a robust pharmacodynamic marker for BCR-ABL inhibition *

ELVN-002: Opportunity for a Selective Irreversible Pan-Mutant HER2 TKI Current HER2 TKI Landscape Designed to irreversibly inhibit HER2 and multiple key HER2 mutations, including HER2 YVMA and L755, and Selectively inhibit HER2 while sparing EGFR to prevent EGFR-related toxicities, with the potential for improved efficacy in NSCLC and other cancers Demonstrated superior pre-clinical activity in HER2-amplified subcutaneous and intracranial models, and an improved safety margin in NHPs compared to tucatinib Our HER2 Candidate: ELVN-002 The high degree of structural homology between EGFR and HER2 makes it difficult to design HER2-selective inhibitors Most approved and investigational agents are dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors that are dose-limited by EGFR-driven toxicity Tucatinib is the only approved HER2-selective TKI, but lacks potency against key mutants, including HER2 YVMA, the most common Exon 20 insertion mutation (E20IM) in NSCLC, and L755, the most common HER2 breast cancer mutation Current HER2 TKIs do not achieve sufficient CNS free drug levels to address brain metastases, leading to disease progression in patients with lung and breast cancer We believe that our product candidate, if it achieves the target profile, will be able to achieve an improved therapeutic index compared to current approved and investigational TKIs as well as provide a meaningful therapeutic option to patients with brain metastases CNS = Central nervous.

ELVN-002 Achieved a Wide Safety Margin in Preclinical Species ELVN-002 28-day GLP Tox NHP TK ELVN-002 Safety Margin at NHP NOAEL Dose (mg/kg) Fold vs. Highly Efficacious Exposure Fold vs. Tucatinib TGI-matched exposure 5 2 5 10 5 12 15 8 22 NHP NOAEL Based on preclinical exposures (AUC), ELVN-002 had a >10x larger safety margin compared to tucatinib in NHPs (HER2 amp setting) At its 28-day NOAEL, ELVN-002 had a wide safety margin in non-human primates (NHPs) and even wider safety margin in rats At its approved dose, tucatinib only achieves IC90 all day in ~40% of patients Due to its larger safety margin, irreversible inhibition and improved PK profile, we believe ELVN-002 has the potential to achieve better target inhibition and improved efficacy compared to tucatinib NHP = Non-human primate. NOAEL = No observed adverse event level. Highly Efficacious Exposure equals the total AUC of ELVN-002 at 5 mg/kg in NOD-SCID mouse (836 ng*hr/mL), which yielded robust tumor regression in a HER YVMA xenograft To determine Fold vs. Tucatinib TGI-matched exposure, we use the linearly extrapolated AUC of ELVN-002 at 2.5 mg/kg in Nude mouse, which roughly matches the TGI of Tucatinib at 20 mg/kg BID measured in an NCI-N87 xenograft model ELVN-002 NHP data shown are measured averages from Day 1 TK male animals in a 28-day GLP tox study References: Tucatinib NDA; Moulder, SL; et al.
