COLLABORATION AND INSPIRATION

BRINGING THE PROMISE OF EXPEDITED, NEW TREATMENTS FOR PEOPLE WHO DESPERATELY NEED THEM.

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends of Stand Up To Cancer®:

As SU2C embarks on its 16th year, I am proud to share the remarkable progress we’ve made over the past year in our mutual goal to end cancer as we know it.

This year’s inaugural report highlights our recent accomplishments and the strides we have made in advancing cancer research.

During the past year, new SU2C grants focused on gastroesophageal and head & neck cancers, as well as increasing diversity in cancer clinical trials. SU2C-funded investigators published exceptional research; an exciting pancreatic cancer clinical trial was the first to demonstrate an mRNA vaccine for cancer treatment.

SU2C’s eighth biennial telecast aired on August 19 and celebrated SU2C’s impact on collaborative cancer research, and additional awareness efforts included several PSAs and a campaign to launch The Alex Trebek Fund to raise funding for pancreatic cancer research.

Today, we are at an inflection point, with a revitalized Scientific Advisory Committee, and a new strategic focus on early detection and interception. We have a bold goal to reduce mortality from cancer by 25 percent in the next five years! While ambitious, we believe groundbreaking advancements are achievable with immunotherapies that can wipe out cancer; vaccines that prevent or treat cancer; and preventative research that utilizes AI and large language models to predict and diagnose cancer earlier than ever.

SU2C is indebted to many individuals and organizations for their long-standing commitment to our mission, including our scientific partner, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR). We look to our generous donors for their continued support, united in purpose and focused on our shared goal of ending cancer as we know it. Thank you for standing with us. All of this is possible with your financial contribution.

Warmly,

A YEAR OF PROGRESS AND CHANGE FOR STAND UP TO CANCER

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

As described in the following pages, 2023 was a year of progress and change for Stand Up To Cancer with new executive and scientific leadership taking the reins while we expanded our translational research portfolio into gastroesophageal cancer. We also launched new teams exploring the role of the human microbiome in cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. These projects add to a portfolio of cancer research that seeks to create better treatments and new preventive strategies for the vast majority of types of cancers.

Our science collaborations were supported by ongoing public education and awareness events, including our eighth biennial roadblock telecast, which was presented in August on more than 55 participating media platforms across the United States and Canada, including all four major broadcast networks in the U.S. And new public service campaigns — reaching audiences in both English and Spanish about the importance of colon cancer screening and other topics — appeared in top print, broadcast, radio, digital and out-of-home outlets. SU2C-supported scientists and ambassadors also participated in regional and national meetings to raise awareness of cancer breakthroughs and new programs.

At both the All-Star Game in July and again at the World Series in October, SU2C Founding Donor Major League Baseball and SU2C’s iconic placard moments brought the promise of cancer research home to millions. Similarly, the #SU2CStreamTeam brought together gamers, streamers, and content creators across gaming and social media platforms for the third annual #Up2Us to Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser. And new collaborations, such as The Alex Trebek Fund announced in November, will help us accelerate critical research with the goal of better treating pancreatic cancer, which has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. With over $1 million in contributions raised through a generous donation from Jean Trebek, wife of the late Alex Trebek, and the Estate of Barbara Hanania, SU2C is poised to spur new research collaborations in support of patients and families impacted by this deadly disease.

COLLABORATION. PROGRESS. IMPACT.

AS SU2C ACCELERATES CANCER RESEARCH, THE INVESTIGATIONS IT SUPPORTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM THE TREATMENT OF CANCERS IN BOTH ADULTS AND CHILDREN.

Stand Up to Cancer research programs are administered with the assistance of our scientific partner, the American Association for Cancer Research.

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

SU2C’S YEAR IN SCIENCE

Stand Up To Cancer research spans a range of approaches and treatments. From cancer prevention and interception to epigenetics and immunotherapy, SU2C’s multifaceted research teams and investigations are focused on the most innovative approaches to bring more effective therapies to patients quickly, to increase survivorship and to improve quality of life for cancer patients and survivors. SU2C research is transforming the treatment of cancers in both adults and children.

In 2023, SU2C funded 12 new scientific projects, including three groups focused on bringing new therapies to clinical trials for the treatment of gastroesophageal cancer as part of the SU2C-Torrey Coast Gastroesophageal Cancer (GEC) Dream Team Collective. The teams are uniting top researchers to foster new and inclusive cancer research on the causes and treatments of GEC, mentor a new generation of scientists focused on GEC, bring new treatments to the clinic and provide medical professionals with tools and materials to better advocate for GEC screening and treatment with their patients. Scientists at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NYU Langone, and Weill Cornell Medicine are participating in the Dream Team Collective.

SU2C also funded three 2023 Phillip A. Sharp Innovation in Collaboration Awards — which focus on bringing new perspectives together and encourage the inclusion of early-career investigators — and one SU2C Maverick Early Career Scientist Award — which is awarded to an investigator early in their career and supports a cutting-edge idea that has great potential to impact patient care. One of the Phillip A. Sharp Awards includes the Ziskin Prize, which honors legendary Hollywood producer and SU2C co-founder Laura Ziskin, who passed from breast cancer in 2011. Other awards focus on gastric cancer, head and neck cancers, squamous cell carcinomas, and how gut microbes could be used in combination with other treatments for future cancer therapies.

We also provided seven community organizations with grants to fund efforts to increase diversity in early phase cancer clinical trials through the SU2C Diversity In Early Development Clinical Trials Program, supported by a sponsorship from the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. These community engagement grants support SU2C’s focus on addressing disparities in oncology clinical trial participation and facilitating the development of new treatments that have the potential

7

to benefit all patients impacted by cancer. The recipients of these grants operate in four cities — Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Philadelphia — and are deeply connected to communities that are underrepresented in cancer clinical trials.

THROUGHOUT 2023, SU2C-SUPPORTED SCIENTISTS PUBLISHED NEW KNOWLEDGE AND DISCOVERIES TO HELP CREATE AND TEST NEW CANCER TREATMENT STRATEGIES.

The SU2C Colorectal Cancer Dream Team showed that rectal cancer patients whose tumors have specific genetic characteristics (mismatch repair–deficient/microsatellite instability–high) can be successfully treated with immune checkpoint blockade (anti-PD-1) immunotherapy, sparing them from the long-lasting and damaging side effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. More than 35 rectal cancer participants who completed the treatment have exhibited a complete clinical response, and as a result the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for rectal cancer have been updated. In addition, the team evaluated 172 patients with Lynch syndrome (the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer) to guide immunopreventative strategies against the cancer.

The SU2C Gastric Cancer Interception Research Team developed a blood test measuring the levels of specific cancer-related proteins with the potential for early detection of gastric cancer and more timely determination of patient responses to cancer treatment. Quickly establishing the effectiveness of a treatment enables physicians to swiftly shift to an alternative therapy if the initial treatment proves ineffective for the patient.

The SU2C Catalyst Research Team with Support from Bristol Myers Squibb showed that melanoma patients who did not respond to a single immunotherapy can benefit from being treated with a combination immunotherapy. The treated patients had significantly longer progression-free survival.

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

The SU2C Catalyst Research Team with Support from Merck has been conducting a clinical trial to explore the possibility that combining anti-PD-1 antibodies with radiation can improve outcomes for patients facing metastases to the lung after a diagnosis of high-risk soft tissue sarcoma. To test the strategy for patients with this rare cancer, a clinical trial has opened at 20 sites across the U.S. and other nations.

For children with some brain and solid tumors, the SU2C Catalyst Research Team with support from Bristol Myers Squibb led the first prospective pediatric trial using treatments approved for other cancers for refractory non-blood based cancers with a high tumor mutation burden and/or mis-match repair deficiency. The study showed durable responses and prolonged survival.

As part of the SU2C Convergence 3.1416 Team, scientists have harnessed the power of a common and benign skin bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis, to express a foreign antigen found in melanoma cells. When these bacteria were applied to the skin of mice, they promoted cellular immunity. This result has major implications in the field of cancer immunology and beyond.

9 SU2C’S YEAR IN SCIENCE

And Stand Up To Cancer’s long-standing support of novel therapies for pancreatic cancer resulted in numerous findings.

The SU2C-Lustgarten Foundation Convergence 2.0 Team is investigating how neoantigen-stimulated T cells may impact outcomes in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). To accomplish this task, the team has developed mRNA vaccines tailored to each patient’s mutational signature and engineered a rapid custom vaccination platform to expedite production. The team completed a successful phase I clinical trial in which 8 of 16 patients treated with the vaccine plus chemotherapy following surgery experienced prolonged complete response. In further research, the team plans to identify reasons for vaccine success and failure and has opened a phase II randomized trial of mRNA neoantigen vaccines in PDAC.

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

SU2C’S YEAR IN SCIENCE

The Pancreatic Cancer Collective Molecularly Targeted Radionuclide Therapy New Therapies Challenge Research Team is conducting a phase I clinical trial to explore the potential of using two new radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat pancreatic cancer targeting the αVβ6 protein found at the surface of pancreatic cancer cells but undetectable on normal cells.

The Pancreatic Cancer Collective Immunotherapy Targeting Mutant KRAS New Therapies Challenge Research Team is currently conducting experiments required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to confirm the efficacy and specificity of a T-cell receptor against pancreatic cancer progression and has developed a procedure for large-scale production of mKRAS TCR-specific T cells.

In exciting prevention research, the SU2C-Lustgarten Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Interception Dream Team showed the power of using remote strategies to encourage those who have increased familial risk of pancreatic cancer to undergo genetic screening. The team observed that when an easy-to-use genetic screening kit is provided, along with the option for online education and guidance from a healthcare team, family members of pancreatic cancer patients are more willing to undergo genetic screening to determine whether they have an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

Finally, 2023 SU2C Maverick Award winner Alexander Pearson, MD, PhD, from the University of Chicago, used his funding to combine head and neck cancer molecular information and digital pathology images. Notably, he built a $200 microscope which allows for digital pathology diagnosis and has the potential for high impact globally, including in developing countries who may lack significant clinical infrastructure.

RELENTLESS AND DETERMINED

STAND UP TO CANCER WORKS RELENTLESSLY TO OFFER THE NEWEST, MOST EFFECTIVE AND MOST PROMISING CANCER TREATMENTS TO PATIENTS QUICKLY.

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

Stand Up To Cancer works relentlessly to offer the newest, most effective and most promising cancer treatments to patients quickly. To date, more than 29,000 cancer patients have participated in SU2C-funded clinical trials, many more have found information about cancer research on our website, and patients serve as advocates and advisors on all SU2C scientific teams. Three patient stories featured on the 2023 SU2C Telecast illustrate how our cancer research is impacting people now.

KELLY SPILL: RECTAL CANCER

New Jersey resident Kelly Spill participated in a SU2C-funded clinical trial by the SU2C Colorectal Cancer Dream Team, receiving immunotherapy for Stage 3 rectal cancer to test whether the standard chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery protocols could be avoided. Just the fourth person in the country to participate in the trial, Kelly’s tumor began to shrink and after nine cycles of treatment it was gone completely. After treatment, Kelly was able to get pregnant and had a baby girl.

KELLIE AND YAPHET SMITH: MULTIPLE MYELOMA

When his wife Kellie experienced severe back pain and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, Texan Yaphet Smith enrolled in the SU2C Multiple Myeloma Dream Team’s PROMISE Study. This was the first study to test healthy people who may be at risk for early warning signs, or precursors, of a blood cancer called multiple myeloma, which can often run in families. Yaphet’s participation in the study confirmed that he did not have the early warning signs, meaning Kellie and Yaphet’s child is at less of a risk for multiple myeloma.

ELIZABETH O’CONNOR: PANCREATIC CANCER

Elizabeth O’Connor of Georgia was 31 years old and had just given birth to her second child when diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Over nearly 13 years, Elizabeth has experienced metastases and has undergone many treatments, including two treatments developed by Stand Up To Cancer-funded pancreatic cancer researchers: targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Immunotherapy has been a pivotal treatment for Elizabeth, who is thriving and enjoying life with her family.

MOVING CANCER SCIENCE FORWARD

AS STAND UP TO CANCER LOOKS TOWARD 2024 AND BEYOND, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENSURE WE ARE FUNDING THE MOST PROMISING AND IMPACTFUL CANCER RESEARCH.

STAND UP TO CANCER 2023 ANNUAL REPORT

Considering the advancements in early detection of cancer and pre-cancerous lesions, along with a better understanding of risk factors and screening tools, it is possible to imagine that early intervention and interception will dramatically reduce cancer deaths over the next five to ten years. Collaborative, bold science will need to be funded to make this vision come true and avert millions of cases of cancer.

New computing tools, including artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLM) will be critical to accelerating advancements in cancer care. Given today’s immense computing power and advancements in bioinformatics, non-invasive bio-analytical analyses, electronic medical records, and wearable monitors, the challenge lies with the accuracy and sensitivity of such diagnostic tests. Our Dream Team model is ready to take on these challenges, helping scientists and clinicians eventually cure cancers, one malignancy at a time. And if achieved, healthcare inequities will also be addressed.

Another emerging field of treatment and prevention is early clinical research with cancer vaccines, which Stand Up To Cancer scientific collaborations have already pioneered in pancreatic cancer. Neoantigens of tumors can now be identified, and mRNA can be manufactured. Peptides and vaccine delivery technologies are now enabling clinical trials to treat minimal residual disease with promising results.

Our 15-year history of creating impactful collaborative science to get new treatments to patients quickly means Stand Up To Cancer has the experience and culture to effectively bring these new tools to bear on a wide variety of cancers. Each cancer type will have unique challenges, and drug discovery and development continue to produce remarkable treatment options, including small molecule drugs and biologic drugs. Our pledge is to help push this promising research forward with as much speed as possible.
