(d)
Joint Inventions.


 


(i)
BeiGene and Immix agree that all rights to all (A) Study Results and (B) inventions and discoveries made or conceived in the conduct
of the Combination Study relating to the combination of the BeiGene Product and Immix Compound shall belong jointly to BeiGene and Immix
(each of (A) and (B), “Joint Inventions”). BeiGene hereby assigns to Immix an undivided one-half interest in, to and
under the Joint Inventions that are invented or created solely by BeiGene or by persons having an obligation to assign such rights to
BeiGene. Immix hereby assigns to BeiGene an undivided one-half interest in, to and under any Joint Inventions that are invented or created
solely by Immix or by persons having an obligation to assign such rights to Immix. Subject to Section 7(d)(ii) and to the restrictions
set forth in Section 7(c), BeiGene and Immix shall each be entitled to use any and all Joint Inventions without accounting to
the other Party and without the consent of the other Party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written
consent of the other Party, a Party shall not grant a license to any third party to use any Joint Inventions to research, develop and/or
commercialize any compound that works by the same mechanism of action as such other Party’s Product or Compound, as applicable,
without also licensing intellectual property rights controlled by such Party with respect to its own Product or Compound, as applicable
(i.e., in the case of Immix as the licensing party, it may not license any Joint Inventions for use in conjunction with a PD-1 inhibitor/antagonist
without also granting a license to other intellectual property rights controlled by Immix relating to the Immix Compound; and in the
case of BeiGene as the licensing party, it may not license any Joint Inventions for use in conjunction with a combination of curcumin
and doxorubicin encapsulated in a nano-sized micelle without also granting a license to other intellectual property rights controlled
by BeiGene relating to the BeiGene Product).


 


(ii)
If both Parties desire to file a patent application on a country-by-country basis in respect of any Joint Invention (a “Joint
Patent”), the Parties shall do so jointly at their joint expense using a single patent counsel reasonably acceptable to both
Parties. The Parties hereby agree to reasonably assist each other in the preparation, filing and prosecution of such Joint Patent application
and no patent application in respect of any Joint Invention may be filed without the agreement of the Parties; provided that if
one Party does not desire to file a patent covering any such Joint Invention on a country-by-country basis, then the other Party shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to file such patent application in its sole name and at its sole cost using patent counsel selected
by such other Party in its sole discretion (“One Party Joint Inventions”). In such a case the Party filing the patent
application in its sole name shall be the sole owner of the One Party Joint Invention covered by the patent application and shall be
free to exploit such One Party Joint Invention without accounting to the other Party and the other Party shall have no rights in, to
or under any such Joint Invention or the patent covering such One Party Joint Invention.


 


(iii)
The enforcement and defense of any Joint Patent shall be subject to further agreement between the Parties. Absent the agreement of the
Parties, the following shall apply: Immix shall have the first right to initiate legal action to enforce all Joint Patents against infringement
or misappropriation by any third party that is marketing, or seeking to market, a compound in the same class as the Immix Compound, or
to defend any declaratory judgment action relating thereto, at its sole expense. In the event that Immix fails to initiate or defend
such action within thirty (30) days after being first notified of such infringement, BeiGene shall have the right to do so at its sole
expense. Similarly, BeiGene shall have the first right to initiate legal action to enforce all Joint Patents against infringement or
misappropriation by any third party that is marketing, or seeking to market, a compound in the same class as the BeiGene Product or to
defend any declaratory judgment action relating thereto, at its sole expense. In the event that BeiGene fails to initiate or defend such
action within thirty (30) days after being first notified of such infringement, Immix shall have the right to do so at its sole expense.

(e)
Sole Inventions. The Parties agree that all rights to inventions and discoveries relating solely to the BeiGene Product, made
or conceived in the conduct of the Combination Study, shall be the exclusive property of BeiGene. BeiGene shall be entitled to file in
its own name relevant patent applications and to own resultant patent rights for such inventions and no license is granted to Immix with
respect thereto (except as necessary to conduct the Combination Study). If such invention relating solely to the BeiGene Product is a
Joint Invention, Immix agrees to assign and does hereby assign all of its rights, title and interest in such Joint Invention to BeiGene.
The Parties agree that all rights to inventions and discoveries made or conceived in the conduct of the Combination Study relating solely
to the Immix Compound, shall be the exclusive property of Immix and Immix shall be entitled to file in its own name relevant patent applications
and to own resultant patent rights for such inventions, and no license is granted to BeiGene with respect thereto. If such Invention
relating solely to the Immix Compound is a Joint Invention, BeiGene agrees to assign and does hereby assign all of its rights, title
and interest in such Joint Invention to Immix.


 


(f)
Assistance. To the extent that any right, title or interest in or to any inventions and discoveries discovered, invented, created
or otherwise generated under this Agreement vests in a Party or its Affiliate, by operation of law or otherwise, in a manner contrary
to the agreed upon ownership as set forth in this Agreement, such Party (or its Affiliate) shall, and hereby does, irrevocably assign
to the other Party any and all such right, title and interest in and to such intellectual property to the other Party without the need
for any further action by any Party. All of the employees, officers and consultants of each Party that are engaged in the performance
of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement shall have executed agreements assigning to such Party of all inventions
and discoveries discovered, invented, created or otherwise generated during the course of and as the result of their association with
such Party, obligating the individual upon request to sign any documents to confirm or perfect such assignment and to cooperate in the
preparation and prosecution of any patent applications disclosing or claiming such inventions. When a Party is prosecuting and maintaining
any patent or patent application in accordance with the foregoing Section 7(d) or (e), as applicable, or is enforcing a patent
right or defending an action as described in Section 7(d)(iii) with respect to any Joint Patent, then upon reasonable request
by such Party, the other Party shall reasonably assist in such prosecution, maintenance, defense, or enforcement, as applicable, at the
requesting Party’s reasonable costs, including if required or desirable, furnishing documents and information, and executing all
necessary documents as the requesting Party may reasonably request or joining any such enforcement action as a party plaintiff. Without
limiting the foregoing, to the extent such other Party is not available, or is unwilling to provide such assistance, such other Party
hereby grants to the Party that is prosecuting and maintaining any patent or patent application in accordance with the foregoing Section
7(d) or (e), as applicable, or is enforcing a patent right or defending an action as described in Section 7(d)(iii)
with respect to any Joint Patent, a power of attorney to take such actions, and file such documents, on such other Party’s behalf
as may be necessary for purposes of such prosecution, maintenance, defense, or enforcement including being joined as a party plaintiff
to any such enforcement action.

(d)
Publications. It is the intent of the Parties to pursue joint publications of the Study Results. Criteria for authorship of any
publication arising from the Combination Study shall be determined in accordance with applicable field and journal publication standards,
taking into consideration the relative contributions of the Parties; provided that, in the event there has been no joint publication
submitted within twelve (12) months after the issuance of a complete study report for the entire Combination Study, each Party reserves
the right to publish the Study Results independently, subject to the remainder of this Section 8(d). The Party that proposes to
publish any Study Results (the “Proposing Party”) shall inform the other Party (the “Reviewing Party”)
regarding the content of the material to be published or presented according to the following procedure:


 


(i)
At least thirty (30) days prior to submission for (A) publication of any paper, letter or any other publication, or (B) presentation
of any abstract, poster, talk or any other presentation, the Proposing Party shall provide to the Reviewing Party a copy of a summary
of the proposed publication or presentation for the input of and approval from the Reviewing Party.

ImmixBio
Announces Clinical Trial and Supply Agreement with BeiGene to Evaluate Combination of IMX-110 and Tislelizumab in Solid Tumors


 


Novel
Approach Combining ImmixBio Tissue Specific Therapeutics (TSTx)TM with Immunotherapies Could Expand the Population Of Cancer Patients
Experiencing Extended Remissions


 


LOS
ANGELES, Calif. – August [  ], 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Immix Biopharma, Inc. (“ImmixBio”) today announced a clinical
trial and supply agreement with BeiGene, Ltd. to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of combining IMX-110, a Tissue Specific
TherapeuticTM with TME Normalization TM Technology, with BeiGene’s anti-PD-1 antibody tislelizumab, for the treatment of various
solid tumors, in the U.S. and internationally.


 


Under
the terms of the agreement, ImmixBio will evaluate the combination of IMX-110 with tislelizumab in a Phase 1/2a trial in patients with
advanced solid tumors.


 


“ImmixBio
is proud to showcase our Tissue Specific Therapeutics (TSTx)TM platform to the world. Promising data from our ongoing IMX-110 clinical
trial, from pre-clinical studies in a genetic mouse model of pancreatic cancer showing IMX-110 turning “cold” tumors “hot”,
and IMX-110 in combination with murine anti-PD-1 demonstrating extended survival in a genetic mouse model of pancreatic cancer versus
multi-drug combinations in the literature, have demonstrated substantial rationale to combine IMX-110 and tislelizumab,” said Ilya
Rachman, MD, PhD – ImmixBio CEO. “We have high hopes that IMX-110 in combination with tislelizumab could expand the population
of cancer patients experiencing extended remissions.”


 


About
IMX-110


 


IMX-110
is a Tissue-Specific TherapeuticTM built on ImmixBio’s TME NormalizationTM Technology encapsulating a poly-kinase inhibitor and
apoptosis inducer delivered deep into the tumor micro- environment, or TME. ImmixBio’s TME Normalization Technology enables IMX-110
to circulate in the bloodstream, then exit through porous tumor blood vessels, and accumulate in the TME. IMX-110 then simultaneously
attacks all 3 components of the TME (cancer associated fibroblasts, or CAFs; tumor- associated macrophages/immune cells, or TAMs, and
cancer itself), severing the critical lifelines between the tumor and its metabolic and structural support. IMX-110’s TME Normalization
Technology causes tumor apoptosis, a non-inflammatory tumor-cell death (vs. necroptosis, which results in repeat reignition of the inflammatory
cascade leading to tumor progression).


 


IMX-110
is currently being evaluated in a phase 1b/2a open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study
in patients with advanced solid tumors in the United States and Australia.


 


About
Tislelizumab


 


Tislelizumab
(BGB-A317) is a humanized IgG4 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody specifically designed to minimize binding to FcyR on macrophages. In pre-clinical
studies, binding to FcyR on macrophages has been shown to compromise the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 antibodies through activation of
antibody- dependent macrophage-mediated killing of T effector cells. Tislelizumab is being developed internationally as a monotherapy
and in combination with other therapies for the treatment of a broad array of both solid tumor and hematologic cancers.

The
China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has granted tislelizumab market authorization in four indications, including full
approval for first-line treatment of patients with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in combination with chemotherapy.
Tislelizumab is not approved for use outside of China.


 


In
January 2021, BeiGene and Novartis entered into a collaboration and license agreement granting Novartis rights to develop, manufacture,
and commercialize tislelizumab in North America, Europe, and Japan.
