Event-free survival of investigational use of Libtayo® (cemiplimab) in neoadjuvant cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) from Phase 2 trial to be featured in oral presentation First data for the investigational combination of Libtayo and ubamatamab (MUC16xCD3) in recurrent ovarian cancer also to be presented Additional presentations on outcomes of Libtayo-based therapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, including PD-L1 expression and histology specific subgroups Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced the latest clinical data in early- and late-stage cancers from its oncology pipeline will be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2023 from October 20 to 24 in Madrid, Spain. The presentations demonstrate the role of Libtayo® (cemiplimab) as both a monotherapy and a backbone of novel investigational combinations for various solid tumors. “Our data presentations at ESMO underscore Regeneron’s ability to apply a deep understanding of cancer biology, genetics and the immune system to advance the development of meaningful combinations for cancer types that have high unmet need,” said Israel Lowy, Senior Vice President, Translational and Clinical Oncology at Regeneron. “Notably, we are presenting the first survival data for neoadjuvant Libtayo therapy in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and the first results for Libtayo in combination with ubamatamab, our investigational MUC16xCD3 bispecific antibody, in recurrent ovarian cancer. Beyond ESMO, we are excited by recent progress across our oncology portfolio, including FDA Fast Track Designation for fianlimab (LAG-3) plus Libtayo in melanoma. We look forward to sharing more with the global oncology community as we deliver on our promise to improve the lives of those impacted by cancer.” Among Regeneron’s ESMO presentations is an oral highlighting one-year survival outcomes, including event-free survival, from a Phase 2 trial of Libtayo in neoadjuvant CSCC. The primary analysis was shared at last year’s ESMO meeting. Regeneron will also debut Phase 1 dose-escalation results for its investigational combination of Libtayo and ubamatamab in patients with heavily pretreated recurrent ovarian cancer in a poster session. A Phase 2 expansion portion of the study is underway. Ubamatamab is a CD3-targeting bispecific designed to bridge MUC16 on cancer cells with CD3-expressing T cells to facilitate local T-cell activation. Additional presentations at ESMO include subgroup analyses of Libtayo in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), focusing on such populations as squamous cell carcinoma and patients with varying levels of PD-L1 expression.

About Libtayo Libtayo is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the immune checkpoint receptor PD-1 on T cells and was invented using Regeneron's proprietary VelocImmune® technology. By binding to PD-1, Libtayo has been shown to block cancer cells from using the PD-1 pathway to suppress T-cell activation. In the U.S. and other countries, Libtayo is indicated in certain patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC), advanced CSCC and advanced NSCLC, as well as in advanced cervical cancer in the European Union (EU), Canada and Brazil. As of July 1, 2022, Regeneron is responsible for the development and marketing of Libtayo globally. In the EU, Libtayo is currently marketed by Sanofi on Regeneron’s behalf over the course of a defined transition period. In the U.S., the generic name for Libtayo in its approved indications is cemiplimab-rwlc, with rwlc as the suffix designated in accordance with Nonproprietary Naming of Biological Products Guidance for Industry issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Outside of the U.S., the generic name of Libtayo in its approved indications is cemiplimab. The extensive clinical program for Libtayo is focused on difficult-to-treat cancers. Libtayo is currently being investigated in trials as a monotherapy, as well as in combination with either conventional or novel therapeutic approaches for other solid tumors and blood cancers. These potential uses are investigational, and their safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. About Regeneron's VelocImmune Technology Regeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies.

Call or see your healthcare provider right away for any new or worsening signs or symptoms, which may include: chest pain, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or swelling of ankles, confusion, sleepiness, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, stiff neck, balance problems, tingling or numbness of the arms or legs, double vision, blurry vision, sensitivity to light, eye pain, changes in eyesight, persistent or severe muscle pain or weakness, muscle cramps, low red blood cells, or bruising Infusion reactions that can sometimes be severe. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions may include: nausea, chills or shaking, itching or rash, flushing, shortness of breath or wheezing, dizziness, feel like passing out, fever, back or neck pain, or facial swelling. Rejection of a transplanted organ. Your healthcare provider should tell you what signs and symptoms you should report and monitor you, depending on the type of organ transplant that you have had. Complications, including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in people who have received a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic). These complications can be serious and can lead to death. These complications may happen if you underwent transplantation either before or after being treated with Libtayo. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for these complications. Getting medical treatment right away may help keep these problems from becoming more serious. Your healthcare provider will check you for these problems during your treatment with Libtayo. Your healthcare provider may treat you with corticosteroid or hormone replacement medicines. Your healthcare provider may also need to delay or completely stop treatment with Libtayo if you have severe side effects. Before you receive Libtayo, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you: have immune system problems such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or lupus have received an organ transplant have received or plan to receive a stem cell transplant that uses donor stem cells (allogeneic) have a condition that affects your nervous system, such as myasthenia gravis or Guillain-Barré syndrome are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Libtayo can harm your unborn baby Females who are able to become pregnant: Your healthcare provider will give you a pregnancy test before you start treatment. You should use an effective method of birth control during your treatment and for at least 4 months after your last dose of Libtayo. Talk with your healthcare provider about birth control methods that you can use during this time.
