Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Forward-looking statements include those relating to, among other things, the enrollment and timing of data for the Phase 3 ACTION study, the expected results of Phase 3 ACTION study of ONC201 and dose escalation trials of ONC206, our ability to successfully commercialize our current and future product candidates, the potential for royalty and milestone revenue from strategic collaborations, and projections regarding the potential market opportunity, funding and timing of future data readouts for our products. Among the factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are risks related to the timing, completion and outcome of the Phase 3 ACTION study of ONC201; risks associated with repeating positive results obtained in prior preclinical or clinical studies in future studies; risks related to the clinical development of ONC206; and additional risks set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward- looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the date of this release. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

ONC201 (dordaviprone) Phase 2 Data Analysis
ONC201 data suggests potential to address high unmet need
- H3 K27M mutation is predominantly found among diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) in young adults and children
- Frontline radiotherapy remains standard of care with transient benefit; resection often not feasible
Frontline H3 K27M DMG2 | Histone H3 Mutations |

• DMGs harboring the H3 K27M mutation are
WHO Grade IV; historically invariably lethal | |||
• Consistently longer OS of ONC201-treated | Recurrent H3 K27M DMG3 | ||

4 The median OS was 5.1 months for the subset of patients with H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma excluding DIPG, CSF dissemination, spinal or leptomeningeal disease (N=12), OS at 12 mos was 25.0%, OS at 24 mos was 16.7%
Phase 2 efficacy for ONC201 in recurrent H3 K27M DMG
- ONC201 monotherapy exhibited durable, clinically meaningful efficacy in recurrent H3 K27M-mutant DMG

ONC201 Ph 2 Efficacy Analysis by BICR in Recurrent H3
K27M-mutant Diffuse Midline Glioma
RANO HGG (enhancing)
- 20% response
- 40% disease control
- Strict selection criteria to ensure responses attributable to single agent treatment
- Responses require both imaging and clinical criteria
- Dual reader blinded independent central review (BICR)
RANO LGG (non-enhancing)
- 26% response
- 42% disease control
- Growing consensus that assessment of enhancing and non-enhancing disease (RANO- HGG and RANO-LGG criteria) is needed for diffuse midline glioma
