SCHEDULE
B: COMPANY’S DEVELOPMENT PLAN

 

The
following tasks will be performed by Company to advance development and commercialization ofDoranidazole in the U.S.:

 

	1.	Company’s
    current Development Strategy :

 

Company
intends to evaluate the use of Doranidazole for treatment of pancreatic, lung and liver cancers in combination with large fraction Stereotactic
Body Radiation Therapy (“SBRT”), which is Radiation Therapy (“RT”) administered in large doses
over a several day period as opposed to conventional RT, which is generally administered in small daily doses over an extended period
of several weeks.

 

Company
proposes to perform clinical studies in the U.S., with the ultimate goal of securing FDA approval for the use of Doranidazole in conjunction
with SBRT for the treatment of inoperable pancreatic, advanced lung and unresectable liver cancers.

 

The
initial clinical trials will be in locally advanced pancreatic cancer and the company

 

will
use licensed POLA intellectual property and drug formulation (2% concentration) to perform a Phase 1 Clinical Trial for safety and Maximum
Tolerated Dose (“MTD”) determination in combination with SBRT radiation doses. The phase II trial will follow and
a positive signal will permit expansion of phase II studies to lung cancer and liver cancer as projected in the milestone time line below.
End points will include treatment tolerability, local tumor control and remission/survival. 

 

	2.	Milestones
    (to be updated/changed by the written agreement of the Parties)

 

	 	A)	FIRST
    INDICATION -PANCREATIC CANCER

 

*Gap

*All
projected dates for milestones are based on the expectation that there will be no rejection of IND-enabling data that has been provided
to Company by POLA for inclusion in the IND application.

 

	 	1)	Submission
    of IND Application: (6 months after contract execution) December, 2017

 

*Doranidazole
(API) manufacture under U.S. FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), if needed

 

*Prepare
SBRT plus Doranidazole clinical trial for pancreatic cancer

	3.	Related
    Information

 

	 	a)	Pre
    IND meeting with the FDA and JND Application Submission in the U.S.

 

	 	●	Doranidazole
    (racemic fonn) will be proposed for the indication of pancreatic cancer, treated by Doranidazole and SBRT. We will address key issues,
    including Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls infonnation, non-clinical protocol data as summarized by POLA in published manuscripts.
    Clinical protocol and data summary will be reviewed to show clinical safety and efficacy from clinical trials. We will focus on survival
    results of patients treated for pancreatic cancer.
	 	 	 
	 	●	To
    determine feasibility of POLA’s Doranidazole as a hypoxic radiation sensitizer for pancreatic cancer in combination with SBRT,
    Shuttle will need the API manufactured to U.S. FDA standards and documentation in English for IND application. The need to manufacture
    API to U.S. FDA standards may delay the time table for this licensing agreement by up to 6 months.
	 	 	 
	 	●	The
    cost of preparing an IND application is estimated at approximately $175,000. The FDA will waive the application fee for the first
    human drug application that a small business or its affiliate submits for review (section 736(d) (1) (E) of the FD&C Act).
	 	 	 
	 	●	As
    a reference, the 2016 cost for a U.S. FDA New Drug Application (With Clinical Data) is $2,374,200. Shuttle has proposed waiver of
    some milestone payments for this first indication to accommodate these filing fees to be paid by Shuttle.

 

	 	b)	Phase
    1/2 Clinical Trial of Doranidazole and SBRT for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer lnfonnal discussions with Contract Research Organization
    (“CRO”) representatives (Parexel International) at the FRAC Workshop at NIH suggest that the availability clinical
    safety data from clinical trials in Japan will allow for a more expedited clinical trial design to satisfy requirements of the U.S.
    FDA. Shuttle will prepare a Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial in patients with pancreatic cancers. If FDA approval is obtained by Shuttle
    for the initial clinical trial of Doranidazole in the U.S., this may save resources and time to launch.

	 	c)	Orphan
    Designation Application Shuttle will prepare and submit an Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) application for the
    use of Doranidazole and SBRT radiation in the treatment of unresectable pancreatic cancer offers the potential for “Orphan
    Disease Designation”. Since the patent for Doranidazole was filed in 2008, leaving 12 years of patent life, benefits include
    additional U.S. FDA, marketing protection for 7 years after NDA approval and investment tax credits for partial recovery of clinical
    trial costs (50%) to help extend IP protection.
	 	 	 
	 	d)	Shuttle
    Phannaceuticals, Inc. Series A Capital Raise

 

	 	●	Shuttle
    has embarked on a Series A capital raise and can eannark up to $8 M for use to perform the Phase I/II clinical trial for Doranidazole
    with SBRT in pancreatic cancer.
	 	 	 
	 	●	To
    enable Shuttle Pharmaceuticals to effectively raise capital for Doranidazole clinical development, Shuttle will need the signed licensing
    agreement and permission from POLA administration to include Pola data in our business plan, and to issue a joint press release announcing
    reaching an agreement on the licensing document.

 

	 	e)	Non-financial
    considerations

 

	 	●	Shuttle
    will provide the clinical expertise for Doranidazole’s development. We can provide access to clinicians with special interest
    in CyberK.nife stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for performing clinical trials. The Shuttle clinical team has substantial
    experience with radiation sensitizers and clinical trials. POLA’s assistance will be needed to understand the chemistry, IND
    enabling and clinical data obtained to date.
