  4. Late Stage Oncology Pipeline

  5. MuGard™ -Oral Mucositis (OM) • >$1 Billion Addressable Market: Target all cancer patients; 1,500,000 US cancer patients annually (incidence). Roughly 90% of patients on radiation (43% severe); and 40% of patients receiving chemotherapy • MuGard Stands Alone: Only FDA approved product that instructs pre-treatment and treatment; Safe to swallow • Multiple Marketing Partners: Partners signed for EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, China, Korea; US – contract salesforce 1Q 2010; partners to come • Royalties: 20%, scaling to 25% US Launch 1Q 2010; European Launch Underway Royalties Start This Year

  6. MuGard™ -OM As Significant Health Issue Significant Medical Issue – Often Unrecognized, Undiagnosed and Undertreated • Schattner MD. Oral mucositis is often underrecognized and undertreated. Highlights of the 13th Annual Conference National Comprehensive Cancer Network. March 2008. Elsevier. • Signs & Symptons: Redness or rash, ulceration, pain (sometimes severe), inability to chew, speak or swallow • Patient Risk Affected By: Area, dose and timing of radiation treatment; type, intensity and combinations of chemotherapy; prior therapies and prior episodes of OM; incidence/severity unpredictable 6

  7. MuGard™ -Preventing OM Oral Mucositis Has Profound Impact on Patient Health “…patients with OM [oral mucositis] are fourfold more likely to have unplanned breaks in radiation therapy and more than three timesas likely to be hospitalized…”1 International guidelines recommend preventive strategies2 “Use of a preventive oral care regimen should be part of routine supportive care along with a therapeutic oral care regimen if mucositis develops”2 • Vera-Llonch, M., G. Oster, et al. (2006). "Oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiation treatment for head and neck carcinoma." Cancer 106(2): 329-36 • Keefe, D. M., M. M. Schubert, et al. (2007). "Updated clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and treatment of mucositis." Cancer 109(5): 820-31. 7

  8. MuGard™ -Early Results Very Positive Post Approval Marketing Assessment Studies Showing Significant Efficacy • UK, Germany, Italy Seeding Studies: Providing over 1200 patients with MuGard; clinicians provide feedback and assessments • Prophylactic Use: Used prior to radiation and/or chemotherapy treatment • Early results: Very positive feedback from clinicians, nurses, patients and SpePharm; data to be collected, analyzed, presented in 2010 • Roll Out: Launched in UK, Germany, Italy, Greece and Norway; France, Benelux and Spain throughout 2009/2010 8

  9. MuGard’ Industry Leading Label Indications: indicated for the management of pain and relief of pain… Directions for use: Gargle and spit out. Indications: dryness or dry mouth associated with various conditions Directions for use: swish and spit out. Indications: Magic mouthwash" prepared by pharmacists and used to treat mouth sores (oral mucositis) Directions for use: Gargle and spit out Indications: MuGard is indicated for the management of oral mucositis/ stomatitis Directions for use: … rinse may be expelled or swallowed … safe to swallow … …recommended that patients purchase MuGardTM prior to the commencement of cancer therapy .. MuGard is recommended for preventative use MuGard can be swallowed to coat lesions in throat 9

  10. MuGard™ -Market Dynamics / US Launch Access Preparing for 1Q 2010 US MuGard Launch Market / Patient Dynamics • Few good treatment options and no prophylactic; OM underdiagnosed (unlike emesis) • Incidence / Severity is unpredictable among patients; should treat all (larger market) • Interruption of chemo or radiation treatment affects patient care and doctor revenue US Market Launch • Launch product being manufactured – Accupac • Hybrid direct / contract sales force • Target key opinion leaders – radiation (H/N); large oncology networks • Secure 3rd party payor/Medicare reimbursement • Seeking co-promotion arrangements with oncology/onc. supportive care companies • Leverage ongoing market assessment data from European partner, SpePharm 10

  11. ProLindac™ Market Opportunity • Eloxatin® • FDA approved (2001) for front-line metastatic colorectal cancer • 2008 $2.5+ billion projected sales globally • Significant cumulative neurotoxicity • Losing patent protection globally • ProLindacTM – Access designed a second generation DACH platinum using our proprietary nano-polymer expertise. • Partnering On-going: Partnered with Aosaikang Med Group (ASK) in China and JCOM in Korea. Partners paid upfronts, committed to run 3 clinical trials that ACCP controls, and royalties. Positioning ProLindac as a Replacement for Sanofi-Aventis’ Eloxatin Represents a $3+ Billion Market Opportunity

  12. ProLindac™ - More Platinum, More Safely Unique Design Enables Delivery of More Platinum, with Fewer Side Effects; DACH Platinum (same active in Eloxatin) is inactive while attached to polymer background Represents “equi-toxic” doses of ProLindac and Eloxatin Chelator releases platinum compound in low pH environment; e.g. tumor • New PK/PD studies shows ProLindac simulates “4-day continuous infusion”, • contributing to increased activity and enhanced safety profile

  13. ProLindac™ - Phase 1/2 Trial • All Late-Stage Solid Tumors – dose ranging (60 mg Pt/m2 to 1240 mg Pt/m2) once weekly for 3 weeks • Primary Endpoints – maximum tolerated dose and safety • Safety (n=26) • Dose limiting toxicity: neutropenia • No unanticipated AEs (adverse events) • No acute neurotoxicity (important as compared to Eloxatin) • Efficacy (n=16 evaluable patients) • 2 PR (melanoma, ovarian) • 1 PR biomarker (ovarian) • 4 SD (esophageal, melanoma, thyroid, cervical) Initial European Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial Suggests Efficacy With Improved Safety Profile Significant Drug Activity and Benign Toxicity Profile Warrants Further Development

  14. ProLindac™ Phase 2 Trial – Relapsed Ovarian • Monotherapy in relapsed, platinum-sensitive patients • 28 patients enrolled in six centers in France; final follow-up ongoing • Heavily treated patients (at least 3, up to 6, previous regimens) • Exploring two dosing schedules (once/two weeks and once/three weeks) • Safety – ProLindac Exhibited Very Benign Safety Profile • Patients tolerating drug well through multiple cycles (up to 9 or more) • No Eloxatin-like neurotox; no nephrotox; no hematotoxicity; no worse emesis • Efficacy and Activity – ProLindac “Outperforms” Current Best Care • At highest doses, 66.7% ProLindac patients responded; Activity levels superior to oxali or carbo in monotherapy in similar but healthier patient populations (approx 20%) • Next Steps • Combination trials: Partners ASK and JCOM paying for three Access-designed and managed Phase 2/3 trials: ProLindac plus taxol in recurrent ovarian and ProLindac plus Lilly’s Gemzar in liver and pancreatic cancer; additional combination studies possible in other tumor types • Partnering discussions ongoing Final Study Results – Safe and Active DACH Platinum Drug

  15. Thiarabine – A Novel Nucleoside Analogue • New Nucleoside Analogue – Same class as other clinically successful FDA approved nucleoside analogues such as fludarabine and cladrabine; Clofarabine was approved after a single 44 patient study. • Significant Data/Information Known – Drug was well tolerated and active in two Phase 2 clinical trials in advanced solid tumors. Significant clinical pharmacology and dose scheduling information known. • MD Anderson Cancer Center – Principal investigator is Hagop Kantarjian, M.D., Head of Leukemia Dept. at MD Anderson (same team of experts that have successfully led to approved nucleoside analogues in leukemias and lymphomas). • Clinical Plan – Pre-clinical and clinical studies indicate strong potential in leukemia or lymphoma. Based upon clinical data, ACCP is finalizing trial designs and protocols in AML, ALL, and B-cell lymphomas. Significant Clinical Data Available – Ready for Phase 2 Trials

  16. 1 2 3 4 Cobalamin-coated Nanopolymer Platform Using The Body’s Own Vitamin B-12 Absorption System To Enable and Enhance Delivery of Drugs Through Gut Wall The “Trojan Horse” Delivery Vehicle The nanoparticle coated with Cobalamin (red) binds to intrinsic factor (1), which in turn binds to its cell surface receptor (2). The nanoparticle is transported across the cell (3), crosses the gut wall and enters the bloodstream (4). Nanopolymer “payload” can be Insulin, growth hormone, EPO, etc.
