Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

• HARMONi: Phase 3 clinical study which was intended to evaluateivonescimabcombined with chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated locallyadvancedor metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who were previously treated with a 3rd generation EGFR TKI.

• HARMONi-3: Phase 3 clinical study which is intended to evaluateivonescimabcombined with chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with first-line metastatic NSCLC.

• HARMONi-7: Phase 3 clinical study which is intended to evaluateivonescimabmonotherapy compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with first-line metastatic NSCLC.

Colorectal Cancer (CRC)

• HARMONi-GI3: Phase 3 clinical study intended to evaluateivonescimabin combination with chemotherapy compared with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy.

Ivonescimabis an investigational therapy not presently approved by any regulatory authority other than Chinas National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). Summit is headquartered in Miami Florida and hasadditionaloffices in California New Jersey the UK and Ireland.

Overview of Role:

The Senior Scientist will take primary ownership of laboratory activities. It is a highly hands-on position to drive the research of the mechanism of action (MOA) of ivonescimab and related bispecific antibodies and to play an integral role in the discovery and development of pipeline molecules.

Role and Responsibility:

• MOA Research: Design and execute in vitro and in vivo studies work with CROs and academic labs to elucidate the mechanism at the molecular cellular and tumor-immune system levels. Translate the findings into a deeper understanding of therapeutic efficacy and resistance biology in different cancer indications that can guide indication expansion rational drug combinations and biomarker development.
