ZN-c3 WEE1 Inhibitor - Executive Summary Since AACR 2021, ZN-c3 has generated new clinical responses, further depth of responses, increased durability and improved hematological tolerability; representing one of the most promising clinical advances in DNA Damage Response (DDR) and synthetic lethality to date With broad utility across multiple large indications in both monotherapy and in combination, ZN-c3 is potentially both a first-in- class and best-in-class WEE1 inhibitor Following a recent EOP1 meeting with FDA, Zentalis initiated a registrational trial for ZN-c3 in USC, and will also start a novel biomarker-enabled trial by EOY - both trials have potential accelerated approval pathways • Data presented at AACR 2021 continues to mature with both USC uPRs now confirmed PRs, and an additional uPR in a newly reported USC patient • Further depth of tumor response and extended durability (8+ months) from exceptional responder observed • Predictive biomarker may enable ZN-c3 to address tumor-agnostic indications • Even lower overall severe hematological adverse event rates, with more patients enrolled on ZN-c3 since AACR 2021 • Two key designations (orphan drug and rare pediatric disease) received from FDA for ZN-c3 in combination with chemotherapy for osteosarcoma • Two investigator-initiated trials (IIT) in GBM and TNBC with immunotherapy planned, in two very high unmet need indications 5


 
ZN-c3: Clinical Development Plan OverviewOngoing and Planned Clinical Programs • Initial Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation and expansion data (1) – ZN-c3 was well-tolerated as a single agent – RP2D for ZN-c3 determined – ZN-c3 showed Exceptional Responses in heavily pre- treated subjects with advanced solid tumors • Corresponding studies with Zentera in Greater China • Two key designations now received from FDA for osteosarcoma for ZN-c3 combo with chemotherapy: – Orphan designation – Rare pediatric disease designation Solid Tumors: Monotherapy Dose Escalation and Expansion Initial data presented at AACR 2021 Phase 1 Phase 2 Ovarian Cancer Chemo Combination Ph 1b Study Initiated 4Q 2020 Osteosarcoma ZN-c3 + gemcitabine Ph 1/2 Study Expected Initiation 3Q 2021 Uterine Serous Carcinoma Monotherapy Ph 2 Study Initiated Ovarian Cancer ZN-c3 + niraparib Ph 1/2 Study Expected Initiation 4Q 2021 Monotherapy Study Combination Study Additional Clinical Studies 6 (1) Reported at AACR 2021 Predictive Biomarker Ph 2 Study Expected Initiation 4Q 2021 Registrational trial with potential accelerated approval


 
ZN-c3: Expanding Indications through Investigator Initiated Studies • New IITs to start: ‒ Glioblastoma Multiforme: Preclinical study completed. Clinical study to commence in 2021 planned ‒ Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Combination with anti-PDL1 and chemotherapy. Clinical study to commence in 2022. 7 Confidential


 
ZN-c3 has the Potential to be Both First-in-Class and Best-in-Class • Key attributes to ZN-c3’s Proof of Concept (POC) success: 1. Target biology known and validated 2. Clinical results shown with monotherapy • ZN-c3’s POC includes: A. Determination of RP2D B. Evidence of relevant clinical activity in target populations C. Data on tolerability D. Strategy based on potential accelerated approvals in US • ZN-c3’s POC has potential to lead to: I. Multiple, large commercial opportunities as monotherapy and in combination 8 ZN-c3 has potential to be both first-in-class and best-in-class WEE1 inhibitor with broad market indications and path(s) to potential accelerated approval in US


 
1. Target Biology Known and Validated 9 • Publication in Lancet, Jan 23, 2021 • The inhibition of WEE1 has already been shown in a randomized double- blind, placebo-controlled study to exhibit a statistically significant overall survival advantage • Rare for oncology drugs to show a survival advantage prior to approval • Highly likely for a drug target to be approved if it shows a meaningful survival advantage (the “gold” standard)


 
1. Target Biology Known and Validated 10 • Publication in JCO March 12, 2021 • A third party WEE1 inhibitor exhibited a 29% ORR in a Phase 2 study in very sick endometrial cancer patients with USC subtype (most of these women die within 5 years upon diagnosis) • AZ has just started a registrational P2 study in USC with monotherapy dosing


 
2. Evidence of Strong Clinical Activity Shown by ZN-c3 11 • Clinically relevant responses seen in a refractory solid tumor untargeted all-comer population as monotherapy. Responses seen across four different tumor types signaling potential for broad oncology applicability • We believe this is the first DDR drug (including ATM, ATR, CHK1/2, DNA-PK, or PARP) that has shown monotherapy responses in CRC and NSCLC pts (very difficult to treat) • Currently 43% ORR (3/7) in USC pts(3). AZD1775 observed a 29% ORR • Exceptional responses seen were dramatic, unexpected and durable (1) 3 subjects with no treatment scans (CRC, USC, Pancreas), and experienced clinical progressive disease (CPD). + denotes treatment ongoing (2) 3 confirmed Exceptional Responders PRs, including an additional confirmation of Exceptional Responder PR since AACR Presentation Press Release (3) Waterfall as of 05/15/2021; both uPRs reported at AACR 2021 in USC are confirmed PRs. Newly reported uPR in USC is included. ORR based on radiographic responses.

CDK1 phosphorylation by WEE1 2. p-CDK1 inhibition 3. Skin Biopsy 15 Source: Drawing adapted from Servier Medical Art 1. CDK1 phosphorylation (p-CDK1) is mediated by WEE1 2. Inhibition of WEE1 therefore will lead to inhibition of p-CDK1 3. Skin biopsies were performed at baseline (C1D1) and on- treatment (C1D15) to verify p-CDK1 levels, and hence level of target engagement of WEE1 Confirmation of WEE1i Target Engagement in Surrogate Tissue

17 B. Strong Comparative Efficacy Data of ZN-c3 vs AZD1775 • Early study published in JCO Oct 20, 2015, enabling comparison head-to-head with ZN- c3’s monotherapy refractory solid tumor study • Due to tolerability issues for AZD1775 as monotherapy, MTD was established as 225 mg BID for 5 days per 21-day cycle vs ZN-c3’s 300 mg QD continuous dosing • ZN-c3 delivered 6.3 grams vs 2.25 grams per 21 days cycle for AZD1775 with better tolerability (~3x more drug with ZN-c3 at its RP2D) • Zentalis has seen responses in four different tumor types including NSCLC, CRC, ovarian, and endometrial to date. AZ has not observed responses in CRC or NSCLC • AZD1775’s two PRs in USC were seen in BRCA mutant patients; ZN-c3 responses were seen in BRCA wildtype patients

ZN-d5: Clinical Development Plan 39 Ongoing and Planned Clinical Programs AML and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Monotherapy Dose Escalation Initiated 4Q 2020 Phase 1 Phase 2 Undisclosed Indication: Phase 1b Combination Study Expected Initiation 1H 2022 Monotherapy Phase 2 Study Expected Initiation 1Q 2022 (1) Enrollment of trial ongoing (2) Trial designs will be based off data generated from Phase 1 trials (1) (2) Monotherapy Study Combination Study


 
ZN-d5 Update • ZN-d5 is a highly selective, oral BCL-2 inhibitor • In internal preclinical studies, ZN-d5 is 14x more selective for BCL-2 over BCL-xL than venetoclax, potentially yielding less thrombocytopenia • Entered the clinic in October 2020 in a dose-escalation study in relapsed/ refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) • 14 subjects with NHL enrolled (diffuse large B cell, mantle cell, follicular and marginal zone lymphomas all represented) • Completed first 4 dosing cohorts without dose-limiting toxicities; 5th cohort ongoing • No unexpected safety findings; evidence of biological activity • Plan to open the study to AML this summer 40


 
41 ZN-e4


 
ZN-e4 Update • ZN-e4 is a potent, third generation EGFR inhibitor • Lack of active metabolite binding to wild type EGFR provides potential for better tolerability than osimertinib • First-in-human dose escalation study in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer is ongoing • Enrolled 26 subjects, both osimertinib-naïve and -experienced • Escalated from 20 mg through 480 mg, with clinical activity at doses >80 mg QD • Well-tolerated at all doses; rash AE observed in one subject and only grade 1 (1/26 subjects, 4%) as of March 25, 2021 data cutoff • Currently back-filling several dose cohorts to have robust PK and exposure-toxicity data to support Phase 2 dose selection 42
