HYCAMTIN Capsules proven to significantly increase overall survival vs BSC1,2

Overall Significant Survival Advantage

KEY TOUCH POINTS: WHY

• Approximately 2x longer median survival time1,2 — 25.9 weeks median survival with Hycamtin Capsules plus BSC (95% CI, 18.3 to 31.6) vs 13.9 weeks with BSC alone (95% CI, 11.1 to 18.6) (P=0.01)

• Now that you have had a chance to discuss the clinical data, utilize this page to close the call with the HCP. Recap the particular patient type you highlighted in the beginning of the call followed by key data points and safety information

• 49% 6-month survival rate1 — 6-month survival rate was higher in the Hycamtin Capsules plus BSC group vs BSC alone (49% vs 26%) • 36% lower risk of death1,3 — Unadjusted hazard ratio for overall survival with Hycamtin Capsules was 0.64 (95% CI, 0.45 to 0.90) relative to BSC alone • u65 years—survival benefit seen in elderly patients2 — Patients u65 years of age receiving Hycamtin Capsules plus BSC showed a survival benefit vs BSC alone — Drug-related diarrhea was more frequent in patients u65 years (28%) vs those <65 years (19%)2

– Approximately double overall survival vs BSC

Hematologic and Nonhematologic Adverse Events Profile2

– 49% survival at 6 months vs 26% with BSC alone

• Grade 3/4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and anemia were common2

– 36% lower risk of death

Convenient Oral Dosing2

• Most common grade 3/4 nonhematologic toxicities were nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and fatigue2

Recommended Dosing2

– A survival benefit was achieved in patients ≥65 years of age

2.3 mg/m2/day once daily* for 5 consecutive days, repeated every 21 days

– Drug-related diarrhea was more frequent in elderly patients

• Dosing Recommended Dosing/ Patient Profiles

• Example: “Dr. Jones, can you see how the patient we discussed today with relapsed SCLC could benefit from NEW the convenient oral dosing and improved overall survival offered by new Hycamtin Capsules? Would you be willing to prescribe new Hycamtin Capsules for your next relapsed SCLC patient?”

* The calculated oral daily dose should be rounded to the nearest 0.25 mg. Prescribe the minimum number of 1 mg and 0.25 mg capsules. The same number of capsules should be prescribed for each of the 5 dosing days.

Introduction With the introduction of Hycamtin Capsules, you now have an exciting new therapy to discuss with your customers. The first and only oral chemotherapy agent for patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC), new Hycamtin Capsules approximately doubles survival time vs best supportive care (BSC), a significant amount of time for patients with a devastating and terminal disease.

Strategic OvervieW

New The first and only FDA-approved oral chemotherapy for relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in patients with a prior complete or partial response and who are at least 45 days from the end of first-line chemotherapy

Hycamtin Capsules—proven to significantly increase overall survival vs best supportive care (BSC)1,2

WHEN

This guide is intended to help you become a Hycamtin Capsules expert and valuable resource for your customers and the brand.

“ Dr. Jones, Jack is a relapsed SCLC patient with sensitive disease. He responded well to 4 courses of first-line therapy with a complete remission and was off therapy for 7 months. Using new Hycamtin Capsules as a second-line agent could help him continue to outlive his cancer and still live his life.”

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW The strategic goal is to position Hycamtin Capsules as the treatment of choice for relapsed SCLC in patients with a prior complete or partial response and who are at least 45 days from the end of first-line chemotherapy.

Generate usage of new Hycamtin Capsules by convincing customers that they can give their patients with relapsed SCLC more time to live life.

STILL OUTLIVING HIS CANCER1,2

STILL LIVING HIS LIFE1,2

Key Touch Points: WHY • First and only FDA-approved oral agent indicated for relapsed SCLC • Significant increase in survival vs BSC

The Campaign

• Patients can continue to live their lives while outliving their cancer with new Hycamtin Capsules—an effective and convenient oral chemotherapy agent

The launch campaign for new Hycamtin Capsules truly gets to the heart of what healthcare professionals (HCPs) want for their patients—extended survival. The core graphic captures an “everyday moment” that becomes particularly special in the life of a cancer patient and the headline clearly communicates the patient benefit achieved with new Hycamtin Capsules—more precious time. The bracketed graphic frames the “everyday moment” and extends on each side (like a timeline) to represent the benefit of double survival time with new Hycamtin Capsules vs BSC alone. The graphic on the cover and the survival benefit are carried throughout the sales aid, appearing at the top of each spread.

• Safety information: it is always important to make customers aware of the warnings, precautions, and side effects of new Hycamtin Capsules

Hycamtin Capsules are indicated for the treatment of relapsed SCLC in patients with a prior complete or partial response and who are at least 45 days from the end of first-line chemotherapy.

WARNING: BONE MARROW SUPPRESSION See full Prescribing Information for complete boxed warning Hycamtin Capsules should be administered only to patients with baseline neutrophil counts of ≥1,500 cells/mm3 and a platelet count ≥100,000 cells/mm3. In order to monitor the occurrence of bone marrow suppression, blood cell counts should be monitored.

• Drug-related diarrhea was more frequent in patients ≥65 years (28%) vs those <65 years (19%). The PI states that should diarrhea occur during treatment, HCPs are advised to aggressively treat it. Clinical guidelines describing the aggressive management of diarrhea include patient education and awareness, recognition of early warning signs, use of antidiarrheals and antibiotics, changes in fluid intake and diet, and a need for hospitalization.

Dosage Adjustments2 Hycamtin Capsules is known to be excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to Hycamtin Capsules may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Renal Function Impairment: a dose adjustment of Hycamtin Capsules to 1.8 mg/m2/day is predicted to adjust the area under the curve (AUC) to the normal range for patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr = 30-49 mL/min). Insufficient data are available in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr <30 mL/min) to provide a dosage recommendation for Hycamtin Capsules.2

The Takeaway

The Takeaway

The dosing of new Hycamtin Capsules is 2.3 mg/m2/day once a day for 5 consecutive days, repeated every 21 days. Special considerations and dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with renal impairment, grade 3/4 neutropenia, or grade 3/4 diarrhea.

New Hycamtin Capsules is the first and only FDA-approved oral chemotherapy agent for relapsed SCLC in patients with prior complete or partial response and who are at least 45 days from the end of first-line chemotherapy.
