About Kazia Therapeutics Limited

Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA) is an oncology-focused drug 
development company, based in Sydney, Australia.

Our lead program is paxalisib, a brain-penetrant inhibitor of the PI3K / Akt / 
mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat glioblastoma, the most common 
and most aggressive form of primary brain cancer in adults. Licensed from 
Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib commenced recruitment to GBM AGILE, a pivotal 
study in glioblastoma, in January 2021. Seven additional studies are active in 
various forms of brain cancer. Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation 
for glioblastoma by the US FDA in February 2018, and Fast Track Designation for 
glioblastoma by the US FDA in August 2020. In addition, paxalisib was granted 
Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Designation by the US FDA for 
DIPG in August 2020, and for AT/RT in June 2022.

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 compelling 
evidence of synergy with immuno-oncology agents. A phase I study commenced 
recruitment in November 2021.
