Kazia Therapeutics Announces Granting of Type C Meeting with FDA to Discuss Potential Next Steps for Paxalisib in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed
Glioblastoma Multiforme
Company and FDA to meet in December to discuss potential pathways to registration of paxalisib in
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)
Company updates to corporate presentation and participation in upcoming medical meetings
Sydney, November 4, 2024 – Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA), an oncology-focused drug development company, announced that the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has granted a Type C meeting with the Company in December 2024 to discuss the potential pathways to registration of Kazia’s blood brain barrier penetrant PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, paxalisib, for the treatment of patients
with newly diagnosed GBM.
In July 2024, the Company announced results from the Phase II/III clinical trial,
GBM-AGILE, in which newly diagnosed unmethylated patients with glioblastoma treated with paxalisib showed clinically meaningful improvement in a prespecified secondary analysis for overall survival. Full data
including secondary endpoints from the paxalisib arm of the GBM-AGILE study is expected to be presented at a scientific meeting later this year.
Paxalisib has previously received orphan drug designation and fast track designation from the FDA for glioblastoma in unmethylated MGMT promoter status
patients, following radiation plus temozolomide therapy.
Updated corporate presentation
Today, the Company also announced that it has updated its corporate presentation, which now incorporates preliminary data from the GBM AGILE Phase II/III
clinical trial evaluating paxalisib versus the standard of care for the treatment of in patients with glioblastoma. The updated presentation can be found at

About Kazia Therapeutics Limited
Kazia Therapeutics
Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA) is an oncology-focused drug development company, based in Sydney, Australia. Our lead program is paxalisib, an investigational brain-penetrant inhibitor of the PI3K / Akt / mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat
multiple forms of brain cancer. Licensed from Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib is or has been the subject of ten clinical trials in this disease. A completed Phase 2 study in glioblastoma reported early signals of clinical activity in 2021, and a
pivotal study in glioblastoma, GBM AGILE, has been completed with presentation of paxalisib arm data expected later in 2024 at a major medical conference. Other clinical trials involving paxalisib are ongoing in brain metastases, diffuse midline
gliomas, and primary CNS lymphoma, with several of these trials having reported encouraging interim data. Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for glioblastoma by the FDA in February 2018, and Fast Track Designation (FTD) for glioblastoma
by the FDA in August 2020. Paxalisib was also granted FTD in July 2023 for the treatment of solid tumour brain metastases harboring PI3K pathway mutations in combination with radiation therapy. In addition, paxalisib was granted Rare Pediatric
Disease Designation and Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in August 2020, and for atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumours in June 2022 and July 2022, respectively. Kazia is also developing EVT801, a small-molecule
inhibitor of VEGFR3, which was licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. Preclinical data has shown EVT801 to be active against a broad range of tumour types and has provided evidence of synergy with immuno-oncology agents. A Phase I study has been
completed and preliminary data was presented at 15th Biennial Ovarian Cancer Research Symposium in September 2024. For more information, please visit www.kaziatherapeutics.com or follow us on X @KaziaTx.

Institute collaboration “In treatment-resistant pre-clinical models of breast cancer, paxalisib (4T1 mouse 1 model, TNBC ) has shown encouraging results in inhibiting both the primary tumor burden and metastasis by reinvigorating the immune

modulator of the tumor and the surrounding microenvironment – Administration of PI3K inhibitors such as paxalisib, at doses and frequencies different to those conventionally used, appears to activate or reinvigorate the immune system in the
tumour, making it more susceptive to immunotherapy • The preliminary data from our collaboration will be presented at an upcoming conference in 4Q CY2024 Paxalisib Combination Combination influence on Paxalisib + Paxalisib + immune system

EVT801 28
EVT801 is a highly selective VEGFR3 inhibitor, primarily inhibiting
lymphangiogenesis (formation of new lymphatic vessels) Highly selective for VEGFR3 Oral Presentation Expected to minimise off-target toxicities Administered by mouth once or twice daily Strong IP Protection Inhibits lymphangiogenesis
Composition-of-matter to 2032 / 2033 in most jurisdictions Less potential for hypoxia-induced resistance Low Cost of Goods Straightforward manufacture with excellent Very strong preclinical data package stability Evidence of activity in a wide range
of tumour Favourable Preclinical Toxicology types Limited evidence of toxicity in one-month GLP studies Strong potential for immunotherapy combo In Clinical Development Phase 1 clinical trial completed Evidence of synergistic activity with IO agents

EVT801 Mechanism of Action pos By targeting VEGFR3 tumor blood vessels,
EVT801 may induce tumor blood vessel normalization, reduce hypoxia, and improve CD8 T-cells infiltration Schematic overview based on pre-clinical data Tumor metastasis EVT801 activity on tumor microenvironment Normalization of tumor
(lymph)-angiogenesis Hypoxia Multiple cooperative pos CD8 T-cell infiltration modes of action EVT801 (SAR131675) Endothelial cell immunotolerance Cytokines involved Myeloid-derived Tumor associated macrophages in MDSC frequency suppressor cells Data

o n f i d e n t i a l EVT801: Phase 1 dose-finding trial; KZA 0801-101
(NCT05114668) Staged development in patients with advanced cancer Phase 1 study in advanced cancer patients Completed STAGE 1 • Primary objective of stage one of the study was successfully Monotherapy dose escalation met: n<48 o MTD has
been reached at 500mg BID o The recommended dose for phase 2 is 400 mg BID* in Dose Cohort 3 continuous monotherapy administration EVT801 monotherapy Number of cycles of treatment: Status on 11 October 2024 Dose Cohort 2 EVT801 monotherapy Dose
Cohort 1 EVT801 monotherapy • Up to 8 cohorts • Single-patient cohorts initially, expand to 3+3 when toxicity is encountered • Mixed population of advanced solid tumors • Doses from 50mg QD to 800mg BID MTD = Maximum
Tolerated Dose; RP2D = Recommended Phase 2 Dose *Human active dose prediction based on predicted human clearance of 2.5 mL/min/kg: 375 mg BID* 31
EVT801 Key Points Well-understood mechanism (anti-angiogenesis) with
unique differentiating feature (high 1 VEGFR3 selectivity) 2 Strong preclinical data package, with observed activity in multiple tumours and favourable toxicology 3 Potential for combination use with immuno-oncology therapies Phase 1 completed
demonstrating encouraging safety and tolerability profile to date: 4 • Clinical and biomarker data presented at AACR Ovarian Cancer Research Symposium September 2024 • Primary and secondary objectives successfully met, with MTD and RP2D
identified • Encouraging signal of activity observed in High Grade Serous (HGS) ovarian cancer as well as strong VEGFR3 biomarker expression 5 Next clinical trial under discussion with scientific thought leaders: • Consolidate safety
data at RP2D and our hypotheses on EVT801 mode of action • Validate HGS ovarian cancer as indication of choice for clinical trial phase 2 as monotherapy or in combination with standard-of-care (ex. PARPi) 32
