Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2013

(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Celldex”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2013.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.  The year-end consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $155.0 million and working capital of $143.9 million. The Company incurred a loss of $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $35.3 million. The Company believes that the cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2013 will be sufficient to meet estimated working capital requirements and fund planned operations for at least the next twelve months.

During the next twelve months, the Company may take further steps to raise additional capital to meet its long-term liquidity needs.  These capital raising activities may include, but may not be limited to, one or more of the following: the licensing of technology programs with existing or new collaborative partners, possible business combinations, issuance of debt, or the issuance of common stock or other securities via private placements or public offerings. While the Company continues to seek capital through a number of means, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and the Company’s negotiating position in capital-raising efforts may worsen as existing resources are used. There is also no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into further collaborative relationships. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to the Company’s stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to operate as a business; and licensing or strategic collaborations may result in royalties or other terms which reduce the Company’s economic potential from products under development.

(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, except for the adoption of new accounting standards during the first six months of 2013 as discussed below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In January 2013, the Company adopted a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which amended guidance applicable to annual impairment tests of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The amended guidance added an optional qualitative assessment for determining whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Prior to this guidance, companies were required to perform an annual impairment test that included a calculation of the fair value of the asset and a comparison of that fair value with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeded the fair value, an impairment was recorded. The amended guidance allows a company the option to perform a qualitative assessment, considering both negative and positive evidence, regarding the potential impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. If, based on the qualitative analysis, the company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying value, the company would be permitted to conclude that the indefinite-lived intangible asset was not impaired without a quantitative calculation of the fair value of the asset. Otherwise, the company would perform the

6

Table of Contents

quantitative calculation of the fair value and the comparison with the carrying value.  The Company’s adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on its operating results or financial position.

(3)  Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding restricted stock that has been issued but is not yet vested. Diluted net loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period when the effect is dilutive. The potentially dilutive common shares that have not been included in the net loss per common share calculations because the effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

(4)  Comprehensive Loss

In January 2013, the Company adopted a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard which requires the Company to separately disclose, on a prospective basis, the change in each component of other comprehensive income (loss) relating to reclassification adjustments and current period other comprehensive income (loss). As the new guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. No amounts were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013.  The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are summarized below.

(5)  Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurements:

7

Table of Contents

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement classifications. The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, short-term accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The Company values its marketable securities utilizing independent pricing services which normally derive security prices from recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments based on significant observable transactions. At each balance sheet date, observable market inputs may include trade information, broker or dealer quotes, bids, offers or a combination of these data sources. Short-term accounts receivable and accounts payable are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(6)  Marketable Securities

A summary of marketable securities is shown below:

The marketable securities held by the Company were high investment grade and there were no marketable securities that the Company considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2013.

(7)  Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, and goodwill are as follows:

The IPR&D intangible asset was recorded in connection with the acquisition of CuraGen and relates to the development of CDX-011. At the date of acquisition and at June 30, 2013, CDX-011 had not yet reached technological feasibility nor did it have any alternative future use. The Company recently completed a randomized Phase 2b study of CDX-011 for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.

(8) Term Loan

In December 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with MidCap Financial, LLC pursuant to which the Company borrowed $10 million (the “Term Loan”) from MidCap. In March 2011, the Company amended the Loan Agreement and borrowed an additional $5 million from General Electric Capital Corporation to increase the amount owed under the Term Loan to $15 million.  In March 2012, the Company amended the Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date from December 2013 to December 2014.  In May 2013, the Company elected to prepay the Term Loan in full, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, as amended, and paid $8.8 million in principal and $0.7 million in interest, prepayment and final payment fees.   The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement had been secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of its assets, other than its intellectual property.  In connection with the repayment of the Term Loan and the termination of the Loan Agreement, those security interests were released.  Interest expense on the Term Loan was $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

(9) Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities include the following:

In January 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company received approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and agreed to sell New Jersey tax benefits worth $0.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million to an independent third party for $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively.  Under the agreement, the Company must maintain a base of operations in New Jersey for five years or the tax benefits must be paid back on a pro-rata basis based on the number of years completed.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million to other income related to the sale of these tax benefits, respectively.

(10) Stockholders’ Equity

In January 2011, the Company entered into a controlled equity offering sales agreement (the “Cantor Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. pursuant to which the Company could issue and sell up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock from time to

9

Table of Contents

time through Cantor, acting as agent.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 2,450,000 shares of common stock under the Cantor Agreement and raised $8.5 million in net proceeds.

In September 2012, the Company and Cantor amended the Cantor Agreement (the “Cantor Amendment”) to allow the Company to issue and sell additional shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $44.0 million. Under the Cantor Amendment, the Company will pay Cantor a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of any common stock sold through Cantor. The Cantor Amendment terminates upon ten day notice by either Cantor or the Company.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 2,433,608 shares under the Cantor Amendment and raised $17.1 million in net proceeds.  At June 30, 2013, the Company had $4.4 million remaining in aggregate offering price available under the Cantor Amendment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 12,075,000 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering, including the underwriter’s exercise of their full over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,575,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company were $43.4 million, after deducting underwriting fees and offering expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 13,800,000 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering, including the underwriter’s exercise of their full over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,800,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company were $97.0 million, after deducting underwriting fees and offering expenses.

(11)  Stock-Based Compensation

A summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:

The weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $8.31. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was recorded as follows:

The fair values of employee and director stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

(12)  Income Taxes

Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut are the three states in which the Company primarily operates or has operated and has income tax nexus. The Company is not currently under examination by any jurisdictions for any tax year.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its net deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards, capitalized R&D expenditures and R&D tax credit carryforwards. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will not recognize the benefits of federal and state deferred tax assets and, as a result, a full valuation allowance was maintained at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

(13)  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Except as set forth below, the significant commitments and contingencies at June 30, 2013 are consistent with those disclosed in Notes 13 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On May 1, 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with Crown Perryville, LLC., as Landlord, pursuant to which the Company will lease approximately 33,000 square feet of office space in Hampton, New Jersey for use as an office and laboratory.  The Lease has a five-year, five-month term which will commence on the later of November 15, 2013 or the date on which the alterations are substantially complete and a Certificate of Occupancy is issued.  The Company’s obligation to pay rent commences five months after the lease commencement date.  The annual rent obligations increase from $0.4 million in the first year to $0.5 million in the fifth year.  The Lease includes two renewal options of five years each.

OVERVIEW

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of several immunotherapy technologies for the treatment of cancer and other difficult-to-treat diseases. Our drug candidates are derived from a broad set of complementary technologies which have the ability to utilize the human immune system and enable the creation of therapeutic agents. We are using these technologies to develop targeted immunotherapeutics comprised of antibodies, adjuvants and monotherapies and antibody-drug conjugates that prevent or treat cancer and other diseases that modify undesirable activity by the body’s own proteins or cells.

Our lead drug candidates include rindopepimut (CDX-110) and CDX-011.  Rindopepimut is a targeted immunotherapeutic in a pivotal Phase 3 study for the treatment of front-line glioblastoma and a Phase 2 study for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma.  CDX-011 is an antibody-drug conjugate for which we plan to initiate a randomized, accelerated approval study in patients with triple negative breast cancer that over-express GPNMB in the second half of 2013.  We also have a number of earlier stage candidates in clinical development, including CDX-1135, a molecule that inhibits a part of the immune system called the complement system, CDX-1127, a therapeutic fully human monoclonal antibody for cancer indications, CDX-301, an immune cell mobilizing agent and dendritic cell growth factor and CDX-1401, an APC Targeting Technology™ program for cancer indications. Our drug candidates address market opportunities for which we believe current therapies are inadequate or non-existent.

We are building a fully integrated, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops important therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. Our program assets provide us with the strategic options to either retain full economic rights to our innovative therapies or seek favorable economic terms through advantageous commercial partnerships. This approach allows us to maximize the overall value of our technology and product portfolio while best ensuring the expeditious development of each individual product.

The following table includes the programs that we currently believe are significant to our business:

The expenditures that will be necessary to execute our business plan are subject to numerous uncertainties. Completion of clinical trials may take several years or more, and the length of time generally varies substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. It is not unusual for the clinical development of these types of product candidates to each take five years or more, and for total development costs to exceed $100 million for each product candidate. We estimate that clinical trials of the type we generally conduct are typically completed over the following timelines:

The duration and the cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during the clinical trial protocol, including, among others, the following:

13

Table of Contents

·                  the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trial;

·                  the duration of patient follow-up that seems appropriate in view of results;

·                  the number of clinical sites included in the trials;

·                  the length of time required to enroll suitable patient subjects; and

·                  the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate.

We test potential product candidates in numerous preclinical studies for safety, toxicology and immunogenicity. We may then conduct multiple clinical trials for each product candidate. As we obtain results from trials, we may elect to discontinue or delay clinical trials for certain product candidates in order to focus our resources on more promising product candidates.

An element of our business strategy is to pursue the research and development of a broad portfolio of product candidates. This is intended to allow us to diversify the risks associated with our research and development expenditures. As a result, we believe our future capital requirements and our future financial success are not substantially dependent on any one product candidate. To the extent we are unable to maintain a broad range of product candidates, our dependence on the success of one or a few product candidates increases.

Regulatory approval is required before we can market our product candidates as therapeutic products. In order to proceed to subsequent clinical trial stages and to ultimately achieve regulatory approval, the regulatory agency must conclude that our clinical data is safe and effective. Historically, the results from preclinical testing and early clinical trials (through Phase 2) have often not been predictive of results obtained in later clinical trials. A number of new drugs and biologics have shown promising results in early clinical trials, but subsequently failed to establish sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain necessary regulatory approvals.

Furthermore, our business strategy includes the option of entering into collaborative arrangements with third parties to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates. In the event that third parties take over the clinical trial process for one of our product candidates, the estimated completion date would largely be under control of that third party rather than us. We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which proprietary products, if any, will be subject to future collaborative arrangements, in whole or in part, and how such arrangements would affect our development plan or capital requirements. Our programs may also benefit from subsidies, grants, contracts or government or agency-sponsored studies that could reduce our development costs.

As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, among others, it is difficult to accurately estimate the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when, if ever, and to what extent it will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of a product. Our inability to complete our research and development projects in a timely manner or our failure to enter into collaborative agreements, when appropriate, could significantly increase our capital requirements and could adversely impact our liquidity. These uncertainties could force us to seek additional, external sources of financing from time to time in order to continue with our business strategy. Our inability to raise additional capital, or to do so on terms reasonably acceptable to us, would jeopardize the future success of our business.

During the past five years through December 31, 2012, we incurred an aggregate of $156.3 million in research and development expenses. The following table indicates the amount incurred for each of our significant research programs and for other identified research and development activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The amounts disclosed in the following table reflect direct research and development costs, license fees associated with the underlying technology and an allocation of indirect research and development costs to each program.

Clinical Development Programs

Rindopepimut

Our lead clinical development program, rindopepimut, is a targeted immunotherapeutic that targets the tumor-specific molecule, epidermal growth factor receptor variant III, or EGFRvIII. EGFRvIII is a mutated form of the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR, that is only expressed in cancer cells and not in normal tissue and can directly contribute to cancer cell growth. EGFRvIII is expressed in approximately 30% of glioblastoma, or GB, tumors, also referred to as glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. Rindopepimut is composed of the EGFRvIII peptide linked to a carrier protein called Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin, or KLH, and administered together with the adjuvant GM-CSF. The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, have both granted orphan drug designation for rindopepimut for the treatment of EGFRvIII expressing GB. The FDA has also granted Fast Track designation.

The Phase 2a study of rindopepimut referred to as ACTIVATE was led by collaborating investigators at the Brain Center at Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center in Durham, North Carolina and at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas and enrolled 18 evaluable GB patients. An extension of the Phase 2a study referred to as ACT II evaluated 22 additional GB patients treated in combination with the current standard of care, maintenance temozolomide, or TMZ, at the same two institutions.

We initiated ACT III, a Phase 2b/3 randomized study of rindopepimut combined with standard of care, TMZ, versus standard of care alone in patients with GB in over 30 sites throughout the United States. In December 2008, we announced an amendment to convert the ACT III study to a single-arm Phase 2 clinical trial in which all patients were to receive rindopepimut in combination with TMZ. The decision, which followed the recommendation of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee, was based on the observation that the majority of patients randomized to the control (standard of care) arm withdrew from this open-label study after being randomized to the control arm. Patients participating in the control arm of the study were offered the option to receive treatment with rindopepimut. Under this amendment, the ACT III study provided for a multi-center, non-randomized dataset for rindopepimut in patients with newly diagnosed GB.

In November 2012, we announced three-year survival data for each of our three Phase 2 studies in rindopepimut, ACT III, ACT II and ACTIVATE. The median overall survival, or OS, in ACT III was 24.6 months from diagnosis (21.8 months from study entry) and OS was 26% at three years. The median OS in ACT II was 24.4 months from diagnosis (20.5 months from study entry) and OS was 23% at three years. The median OS in ACTIVATE was 24.6 months from diagnosis (20.4 months from study entry) and OS was 33% at three years. In addition we also announced data from a retrospective analysis of EGFRvIII expression status and associated clinical outcome in the Phase 3 Radiation Therapy Oncology Group’s, or RTOG, 0525 study. This analysis was conducted by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in cooperation with RTOG to provide an assessment of the prognosis for patients with EGFRvIII-positive disease contemporary with the ACT III data. Across three Phase 2 studies of rindopepimut, survival data remains consistent and suggests a continuing survival benefit in comparison to independent control datasets (see chart below) at the median and at three years.

(2)                                 In order to provide comparable timeframes across datasets, data have been estimated assuming study entry at three months from diagnosis.

In December 2011, we initiated ACT IV, a pivotal, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 3 study of rindopepimut in patients with surgically resected, EGFRvIII-positive GB. Patients are randomized after the completion of surgery and standard chemoradiation treatment. The treatment regime includes a rindopepimut priming phase post-radiation followed by an adjuvant TMZ phase and a rindopepimut maintenance therapy phase. Patients are treated until disease progression or intolerance to therapy. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether rindopepimut plus adjuvant GM-CSF improves the overall survival of patients with newly diagnosed EGFRvIII-positive GB after Gross Total Resection, or GTR, when compared to treatment with TMZ and a control injection of KLH. KLH is a component of rindopepimut and was selected due to its ability to generate a similar injection site reaction to that observed with rindopepimut. ACT IV will enroll up to 440 patients at over 150 centers worldwide to recruit approximately 374 patients with GTR to be included in the primary analysis. We expect to complete patient accrual by the end of 2013 and anticipate receiving data 18 to 24 months after completing accrual. We anticipate ACT IV to cost over $60 million during its duration.

In December 2011, we also initiated ReACT, a Phase 2 study of rindopepimut in combination with Avastin® in patients with recurrent EGFRvIII-positive GB. ReACT will enroll approximately 95 patients in a first or second relapse of GB following receipt of standard therapy and will be conducted at approximately 25 sites across the United States. Approximately 70 patients who have yet to receive Avastin will be randomized to receive either rindopepimut and Avastin or a control injection of KLH and Avastin in a blinded fashion. Another 25 patients who are refractory to Avastin having received Avastin in either the frontline or recurrent setting with subsequent progression will receive rindopepimut plus Avastin in a single treatment arm. We expect to report data from this study at the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) Annual Meeting in November 2013.

In addition, researchers at Stanford University are conducting an investigator sponsored, pilot trial of rindopepimut in pediatric patients with pontine glioma. Patient enrollment is ongoing for this trial.

Glembatumumab Vedotin (CDX-011)

CDX-011 is an antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, that consists of a fully-human monoclonal antibody, CR011, linked to a potent cell-killing drug, monomethyl-auristatin E, or MMAE. The CR011 antibody specifically targets glycoprotein NMB, referred to as GPNMB, that is expressed in a variety of human cancers including breast cancer and melanoma. The ADC technology, comprised of MMAE and a stable linker system for attaching it to CR011, was licensed from Seattle Genetics, Inc. The ADC is designed to be stable in the bloodstream. Following intravenous administration, CDX-011 targets and binds to GPNMB and upon internalization into the targeted cell, CDX-011 is designed to release MMAE from CR011 to produce a cell-killing effect. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to CDX-011 for the treatment of advanced, refractory/resistant GPNMB-expressing breast cancer.

Treatment of Breast Cancer:  In June 2008, an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study was initiated of CDX-011 administered intravenously once every three weeks to patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had received prior therapy (median of seven prior regimens). The study began with a bridging phase to confirm the maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, and then expanded into a Phase 2 open-label, multi-center study.

The study confirmed the safety of CDX-011 at the pre-defined maximum dose level (1.88 mg/kg) in 6 patients. An additional 28 patients were enrolled in an expanded Phase 2 cohort (for a total of 34 treated patients at 1.88 mg/kg, the Phase 2 dose) to evaluate the PFS rate at 12 weeks. As previously seen in melanoma patients, the 1.88 mg/kg dose was well tolerated in this patient population with the most common adverse events of rash, alopecia, and fatigue. The primary activity endpoint, which called for at least 5 of 25 (20%) patients in the Phase 2 study portion to be progression-free at 12 weeks, was met as 9 of 26 (35%) evaluable patients were progression-free at 12 weeks.

For all patients treated at the maximum dose level, tumor shrinkage was seen in 62% (16/26) and median PFS was 9.1 weeks. A subset of 10 patients had “triple negative disease,” a more aggressive breast cancer subtype that carries a high risk of relapse and reduced survival as well as limited therapeutic options due to lack of over-expression of HER2/neu, estrogen and progesterone receptors. In these patients, 78% (7/9) had some tumor shrinkage, 12-week PFS rate was 70% (7/10), and median PFS was 17.9 weeks. Tumor samples from a subset of patients across all dose groups were analyzed for GPNMB expression. The tumor samples from most patients showed evidence of stromal and/or tumor cell expression of GPNMB.

In December 2011, we completed enrollment of EMERGE, a randomized, multi-center Phase 2b study of CDX-011 in 122 patients with heavily pre-treated, advanced, GPNMB positive breast cancer. Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive either CDX-

011 or single-agent Investigator’s Choice, or IC, chemotherapy. Patients randomized to receive IC were allowed to cross over to receive CDX-011 following disease progression. Activity endpoints included response rate, PFS and OS.

In December 2012, we announced final results, as shown below, from the EMERGE study which suggested that CDX-011 induces significant response rates compared to currently available therapies in patient subsets with advanced, refractory breast cancers with GPNMB over-expression (expression in greater than 25% of tumor cells) and in patients with triple negative breast cancer. The overall survival, or OS, and progression free survival, or PFS, of patients treated with CDX-011 was also observed to be greatest in patients with triple negative breast cancer who also over-express GPNMB and all patients with GPNMB over-expression.

EMERGE: Overall Response Rate and Disease Control Data

Responses per RECIST 1.1; IC = Investigator’s Choice; CDX-011 arm includes 15 patients who crossed over to receive CDX-011 treatment after progression on IC. Analysis of best response excludes patients who discontinued from study without evaluable post-baseline radiographic imaging (n=15 for CDX-011 arm; n=5 for IC arm).
