and high mortality

20%-45% of patients - peripheral neuropathy

leading to pain, numbness, and weakness

AL Amyloidosis Opportunity: High Unmet Need and Large

Market Opportunity

7 Source: Kumar et al, Mayo Clinic Proc, 2011 86(1):12-8.

• 1 Year Mortality: 47%

• 5 Year Mortality: 72%

• Median Mortality: 1.5 Years

• Wall Street Analysts estimate a prevalent patient population of 30,000 – 40,000 patients split evenly between the U.S. and EU.

• It is estimated that there are approximately 3,000 – 4,000 new cases of AL amyloidosis annually in the United States, though actual incidence is likely higher as a result of under-diagnosis; a recent epidemiology study is illustrative (see next slide)

• An approved, successful therapy could represent a >$1.5B opportunity

• GMP-grade amyloid fibril-reactive human IgG1 Fc chimeric mAb CAEL-101 was produced by NCI’s Biological Resource Branch for a Phase 1a/b trial

• Open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1a/b study of CAEL-101 (NCT02245867)

• Patients with relapsed or refractory AL Amyloidosis

• Primary Objective:

• Establish the maximum tolerated dose (up to 500 mg/m2) of CAEL-101

• Secondary Objectives:

• Demonstrate reduction in amyloid burden, as evidenced by decrease in affected organomegaly, and/or improved organ function

• Determine the pharmacokinetics of CAEL-101 when given as a single IV infusion (phase 1a) or as a series of weekly IV infusions (phase 1b)

• To determine the difference between 250mg/m2 and 500mg/m2

Palladini et al reported a strong

correlation between reduction in amyloid

free light chains and survival in patients

treated with front line chemotherapy.

Cardiac morbidity is the major

determinant of survival in these patients

generally, and changes in cardiac function

after therapy can be reliably assessed

using the cardiac biomarker N-terminal

natriuretic peptide type B (NT-proBNP).

Changes in amyloid free light chain and

NT-proBNP predicted survival as early as 3

months after treatment initiation.

The international AL amyloidosis expert community is in agreement that the N-terminal fragment of the probrain natriuretic

peptide (NT-proBNP) is analytically validated and clinically qualified as a biomarker for use as a surrogate end point for survival

in patients with AL amyloidosis. (G Merlini et al, Leukemia, 2016)
