1 Overview What is the purpose of this report? The purpose of this report is to determine if there has been any changes reported in the treatment of cancer across the EU 5 countries now as countries ease restrictions and exit lockdown. We will be comparing what Onco Specialists are telling us now (Wave 2) vs what they said at the start of the pandemic (Wave 1) The information gathered from IQVIA’s Onco Specialists community provides insight and understanding into key topics such as: The impact of cancer patient visits at different phases during COVID -19 Interaction via telehealth/ remote consultations during difference phases of the pandemic What specific type of treatment practices are impacted? What are the current changes anticipated now that restrictions are being relaxed? What pharma/biotech initiatives can help Onco Specialists deliver the best care possible their patients? What communication channels are pharma companies using to communicate with Onco Specialists? How and When was the data collected? Onco Specialists were invited to participate via email and the survey was hosted on DocNet – IQVIA’s internal and secure online community for healthcare professionals This survey was not sponsored by any IQVIA client/customer. IQVIA was not compensated in any way for this survey Data collection occured from the 17th of June – 22nd of June 2020 (Wave 2) We will be comparing results with our Wave 1 survey that took place between 2nd of April – 8th of April 2020 (Wave 1) Impact of COVID-19 on cancer treatment – EU5 June 2020.

However, the average count of cancer patients seen post COVID-19 outbreak is still far-off from pre COVID-19 days Average* number of cancer patients seen prior to COVID-19 outbreak Average number of cancer patients seen per week (Wave 1) Average number of cancer patients seen last week (Wave 2) 81 Patients 41 Patients 50 Patients Pandemic Outburst Exiting Lockdown Wave 2 (n=226) * Weighted average of Wave 1 and Wave 2 Note: All numbers shown in slide are absolute numbers (number of patients) Q1: After the COVID-19 outbreak, are you seeing fewer hematology/oncology patients per week?

What are the potential implications of these findings for oncology companies? COVID-19 impact on cancer care Implications for oncology companies Reduced visits creates patient backlog Understand physician workload dealing with backlogged patients and consequent less time per patient (and to engage with pharma)- address how your company can support physicians now Delays diagnosis, treatment start, switch and type Research and quantify backlog impact on patient treatment and brand use – feed into revisions of forecasts and identify routes to improve path to treatment, including how to support home/self treatment Understand how physician/patient interactions are changing and how as a company you can support Ensure you have researched and acted on changed physician engagement preferences with your company Alters ways physicians prefer to treat and interact Impact of COVID-19 on cancer treatment – EU5 June 2020.

13 DISCLAIMER The start date and the ease of restrictions date of COVID-19 in each country mentioned in this report varies. This could lead to some of the differences seen at country level. In addition, some Oncology specialists might be responding to questions based on what they have actually experienced, whilst others may be based on what they believe might happen. Sample sizes are not representative at country level. In addition, the sample composition is quite different at the country level. This could lead to some of the difference noted at country level. Sample sizes both at a total EU 5 level as well as individual country level are different between Wave 1 and Wave 2 – its important to keep that in mind when making comparisons between the changes observed in responses. This was a pulse survey. The questions asked are intended to provide top level insight into what Oncology specialists across the EU5 are experiencing.
