Orphazyme
Orphazyme: Home run moves nearer (and with funding in place) The case for Orphazyme continues to strengthen as arimoclomol’s US early access program
reinforces a raft of positive data and regulatory progress over the past year. The company is
now on the verge of starting to harvest its lead project’s USD1bn-plus sales potential, with
launch for NPC likely next year in both Europe and the US.
Increased probability
The open-label data that the company presented recently provided additional insight.
Specifically, the sub-genetic analysis provides a plausible explanation for the lack of
statistical significance in the full data-set. This is a major factor in our increasing
probability of launch to 90% (45%).
Inflection points in the other indications
Besides arimoclomol in NPC, 2020-H1 21 should bring further important inflection points
for the case:
• Phase 2 results in Gaucher disease (H1 20)
• Phase 2/3 results in sIBM (H1 21)
• Phase 3 results in ALS (H1 21)
This update summarizes our expectations for the upcoming data in the current year
(Gaucher).
Further upside
While the share has performed strongly in recent months in response to the positive news,
we see further potential in it. After a review of our estimates, and with funding in place
beyond mid-2021, it supports an increased Base Case to DKK 150 (122) per share. Our Bull-
and Bear Case, which is based on outcomes in the pipeline for the current year, is DKK 230
and DKK 95 per share, respectively.

Pipeline advances
Towards launch in NPC Additional data in open label
Orphazyme has presented top-line results (12 months), a full data set for the 12-month data,
and the latest data: results from the open-label extension (OLE) part (12+12 months). In
short, our overall impression of the 12-month data is that it is promising to see a 74%
reduction in disease progression, supported by biomarker data, and an acceptable safety
profile in NPC patients. Some uncertainties in the data captured our attention, such as the
large variability in the data set and the lack of statistical significance in the full data set for the
primary endpoint (5-domain NPC-CSS: ambulation, speech, swallowing, fine motor, and
cognition). Besides, the co-primary endpoint (Clinical Global Impression of Improvement
Scale/CGI-I) did not statistically support a treatment benefit, although some directional
benefits were seen in a couple of the secondary measures.
The OLE presented at the beginning of January 2020 focused on the primary score, 5-domain
NPC-CSS. In our view, Orphazyme presented a highly plausible explanation for the lack of
statistical significance (see our note here). Statistical significance in the full data set was
observed in a subset of patients aged four years and older. This is initially disturbing as the
disease often has a very early onset. However, the OLE data showed that a genetic impact
(homozygous functional null mutations) was the driving force behind the high variability. All
patients with this genetic type were under the age of four and in the arimoclomol arm. In
Orphazyme’s trial, only 6% of the participants had this genetic mutation. Whether this
represents the overall NPC population remains to be seen, but it could entail Orphazyme
getting a well-defined label that still addresses the vast majority of the patient group. The OLE
data was also encouraging as the efficacy signal with arimoclomol has been externally
validated and as it confirms a sustained treatment effect after 12 + 12 months.
Arimoclomol in NPC has obtained orphan drug, fast track, paediatric disease, and
breakthrough therapy designations from the regulators. In January 2020, Orphazyme also
announced the availability of an early access program (EAP) in the US, which offers access to
an investigational drug before commercial launch. While the EAP is not automatically tied to
approval in the indication, we argue that, together with the received designations, it sends a
dsfdsf REDEYE Equity Research Orphazyme 13 February 2020
3
signal value and truly highlight the unmet medical need in this devastating, paediatric
disease.
We expect filing in the US in H1 20 and in Europe in H2 20, at which point the regulators will
have their say. We judge the probability to 90% (previously 45%) of gaining approval for
arimoclomol in NPC. In summary, this is what we base our new probability on:
- The OLE data presented at the beginning of January provided a plausible
explanation to the large variability in the full data-set
- The received designations and EAP sends a true signal value, not least in terms of
the unmet medical need and the paediatric nature of the disease
Additional result coming in 2020 Data (ph II) in Neurological Gaucher disease
Study design
We expect to learn the top-line results from the phase II trial during H1 20. The initial
statement from the company was that the results would be presented in H2 19, which
suggests they might be released quite soon.
The phase II trial, initiated in 2018, is a six-month, placebo-controlled study, proof-of-concept
study conducted in India. By evaluating arimoclomol in Indian patients, the study evaluates
the drug in patients who are treatment naïve to the standard drug therapy: enzyme
replacement therapy (ERT).
The trial completed the enrolment of the 39 patients in August 2019. The patients were
randomized 1:1:1:1 into four treatment arms: active treatment at three different doses and
placebo. Following the placebo-controlled period, the patients rollover to a six-month
extension. The primary endpoint is the change of an established Gaucher biomarker,
chitotriosidase (CHIT1), in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Our expectations
We see a clear rationale in evaluating arimoclomol in Gaucher disease:
- Preclinical data in various models suggest that arimoclomol has the potential to be
on a par with standard treatment in increasing glucocerebrosidase (Gcase) activity
- Arimoclomol is a small molecule with good brain-blood barrier (BBB) penetrance
which is a prerequisite to treat the neurological manifestations
Nonetheless, it is important to note the pure phase II profile of this trial. This is a first proof-
of-concept study that should hopefully show how to design future development in this
indication, not least to capture an efficacious dose range for arimoclomol in this indication.
We want to see a confirmed pharmacodynamic effect and BBB penetrance with arimoclomol.
In terms of the efficacy measure, it a bit more challenging in what to expect. It is good that
biomarkers, which can provide a rather objective measure of efficacy, are widely used in this
indication. However, the approved therapies (ERTs and SRTs, refer to Appendix section) that
have used the established biomarkers are mainly focused on targeting the more common
form of Gaucher disease, the type 1 form (absence of neurological symptoms). Explicit
efficacy on organ involvement and neurological symptoms, the latter is what arimoclomol
specifically targets, could become more challenging. Therefore, we will intake a holistic view
dsfdsf REDEYE Equity Research Orphazyme 13 February 2020
4
of the results when they are presented, with biomarkers in CSF and BBB penetrance
assessed with extra scrutiny.
If the read-out is good, we see significant upside rationale for ongoing development, not only
in neurological Gaucher disease but also in a well-defined group of Parkinson’s disease
patients. Mutations in the GBA1 gene, encoding for Gcase, are one of the most well-known
genetic risk factors for developing Parkinson’s disease. An estimated 7-12% of patients with
Parkinson's disease carry a GBA1 mutation. Orphazyme could potentially address this
narrowed Parkinson’s population without necessarily abandoning its pure orphan company
profile.

Financials Last week, Orphazyme announced the completion of a directed issue and private placement,
raising gross proceeds of DKK 745 million. Institutional and professional investors took part
in the offering, which was oversubscribed. The offering price of DKK 106 per share represents
a very low rebate to the 30 days VWAP.
The stock market reacted positively to the news; the share closed at some +3% on the
announcement day. We argue that the share reaction was well deserved. The capital raise
truly validates the case.
Recently, Orphazyme also presented a preliminary result for 2019 of approximately DKK 335
million. It entails a cash position at year-end of DKK 123 million. The financial outlook for the
current year is an operating loss of DKK 500-540 million. It took us initially by some surprise,
as we forecasted a much lower burn-rate in 2020. However, Orphazyme needs to build up its
sales & marketing organization already this year. This, in combination with three ongoing
trials, makes the burn-rate understandable. With the year-end cash position and proceeds
from the directed issue and private placement, we project that Orphazyme has the financial
muscles to support the planning activities beyond mid-2021.
In the P&L changes presented below, we update our P&L with revenues kicking in from 2021
(2020) and a higher burn-rate in the coming couple of years than previously estimated. We
also present our estimates for sales ramp-up 2020-2025, OPEX 2020-2025, and full P&L
disclosure for 2020-2022.

Valuation Summary
Key parameters After the successful capital raise, we base our per share valuation on an updater number of
outstanding shares. The tax rate is in accordance with the Danish Law. Our WACC is updated
to reflect a somewhat lower development risk and decreased funding risk. It is important to
acknowledge the parameters we adjust to present a Base- (main scenario), Bull- (optimistic
scenario), and Bear Case (pessimistic scenario). We model Bear and Bull Case primarily
based on outcomes in Gaucher and NPC as those will be at the centre of attention in 2020.
Scenario Analysis Our Base Case constitutes our main scenario and is based on a Sum-of-the-Parts (SOTP)-
model where each pipeline project is valued separately. Based on our review of the case, we
increase our Base Case to DKK 150 per share (122):

Summary of scenario analysis
Bear Case 95 DKK Base Case 150 DKK Bull Case 230 DKK • We estimate a
somewhat lower initial price of arimoclomol at launch compared to our Base Case
• We factor in a 70% probability instead of reaching the market in NPC, and with somewhat lower market share compared to our Base Case
• The phase II study in Gaucher disease does not demonstrate any convincing data, and we subsequently remove it from our SOTP.
See our SOTP-model above.
• We estimate a somewhat higher initial price of arimoclomol at launch compared to our Base Case
• Arimoclomol in NPC gets approved and gain market access in 2021, and factor in a somewhat higher market share compared to Base Case
• The phase II study in Gaucher disease is highly encouraging and supports continuous development into registration-based studies

Share price discussion After mainly trading sideways since the IPO (Nov 2017), the share has had strong momentum
in the last three months. Our view is that the share comes from price levels where the case
was largely undervalued and undiscovered, especially compared to its peers. Safe to say,
Orphazyme is fairer valued at present, but we argue that there is more to give. With a recent,
successful capital raise, and a rich news flow that involves multiple late-stage readouts and
possible commercialization in NPC, we see further potential for the share in the mid-term.
Our criterion for the inclusion in the peer-cohort is rather straight-forward; orphan, late-stage,
one lead molecule, and Scandinavian-listed. We also emphasize that our peer comparison
currently has no impact on our fair values.

Investment Case • Pure-play orphan drug company nears commercial launch
• Set for regulatory filing in NPC
• PRV provides significant, non-dilutive cash opportunity
• Additional read-outs in 2020-H1 21
Orphazyme is a pure-play orphan drug company with a late-stage clinical pipeline. Its lead project, arimoclomol,
represents an attractive commercial opportunity that could come to market in four rare disease indications
(NPC/sIBM/ALS/Gaucher) by 2024, with total peak sales potential above USD 1 billion.
Given its pipeline progress in the last couple of years, as well as the continuing commercial attractiveness of orphan
drug development, Orphazyme is a more attractive M&A target than ever in our view. A highly relevant deal is
Sucampo’s USD 200 million acquisition of Vtesse in 2017, a US biotech with only one asset – a Phase II/III NPC
project. Among the Scandinavian biotech, Alexion’s USD 855 million acquisition of Wilson Therapeutics in 2018 is
also relevant, as it shows how highly valued a more de-risked asset with strong clinical data can be.
Arimoclomol in NPC is nearest to the market. We estimate this indication’s sales potential above USD 150 million.
Orphazyme has presented top-line results (12 months), full data set over the period and, most recently, results from
the open-label extension (OLE) part (12+12 months). The 12-month top-line results showed a 74% reduction in
disease progression, supported by biomarker data. The full data set (presented at the beginning of 2019) and OLE
(presented at the beginning of 2020) gave important answers to some initial uncertainties in the data. In summary,
we now put the probability of reaching the market at a high 90%, with a launch likely in 2021 in the US and Europe.
The FDA has granted arimoclomol inclusion to the rare paediatric disease program for NPC. This means that
Orphazyme could be granted a priority review voucher (PRV) on approval in NPC. PRVs can be sold to third parties,
with recent transactions suggesting a deal size of about USD 100 million, which we factor in for 2021. It provides a
significant, non-dilutive cash opportunity for the company. Alternatively, the PRV can also be used in one of the
other programs to expedite the review process.
Orphazyme has built an ambitious pipeline around arimoclomol. Multiple late-stage readouts can be expected in
2020-2021 besides NPC:
• Phase II results in Gaucher disease (H1 20)
• Phase II/III results in sIBM (H1 21)
• Phase III results in ALS (H1 21)
Those are indications with significant medical needs and a thin treatment landscape where arimoclomol could fit
well. We apply launch probability rates of 25-45% for the three.
Counter-thesis Development risk
Orphazyme targets rare and even ultra-rare disease areas. Data for these are often complex to analyze, and the
regulatory pathway is often new territory.
Commercialization risk
Orphazyme is transforming itself from research and development-driven biotech into a commercial biopharma
company. It requires industry professionals that have undergone this journey before and understand how to harvest
commercial potential fully.

Appendix – Arimoclomol and the addressed rare diseases Orphazyme’s lead asset is arimoclomol; a first-in-class oral compound acquired from US biotech company Cytrx in
2011. The drug came with a range of pre-clinical and clinical data in ALS. Orphazyme is developing the drug more
broadly, addressing three additional indications to explore its full potential: Niemann Pick Disease Type C (NPC),
sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis, and Gaucher disease.
Arimoclomol acts as a heat-shock protein (HSP) amplifier. HSPs are the body’s natural response to cellular stress.
The production of HSPs is regulated by a transcription factor, heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). HSF1 is inactive under
normal conditions, but cellular stress, such as through protein misfolding, can trigger activation. Arimoclomol
amplifies and prolongs the activation of HSF1, which leads to increased production of HSPs and thereby promotes
the correct folding and disaggregation of proteins.
Arimoclomol is a small molecule that crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is intended as oral administration. It has a
favourable safety profile, as demonstrated in over 500 patients and healthy volunteers so far.
Neuropathic lysosomal storage diseases Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC)
NPC is a neurodegenerative disorder with early-onset and fatal outcome. When diagnosed in childhood, the patient
is unlikely to survive beyond the teenage years. The disease occurs through a genetic mutation in NPC1 (95% of
cases) or NPC2 (5% of cases), causing accumulation of lipids. The disease affects the cells of the brain, liver, and
spleen.
NPC manifests in symptoms such as loss of motor function, coordination, speech, and cognition. Due to the
incredibly rare nature of the disease and lack of good treatment options, there is little awareness of NPC among
physicians. Accordingly, the disease is often mis- and/or underdiagnosed. In the US and Europe, the estimated
prevalence is approximately 2,000.
The lack of good treatment options makes the medical need significant. In the US, no drug therapies are approved
for NPC. In Europe, only one drug is approved: Zavesca (miglustat). This works by inhibiting the first step in the
production of complex fats and later acts in the pathway, unlike arimoclomol.
Neurological Gaucher disease
Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by an inherited deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme acid
beta-glucocerebrosidase (Gcase). The mutation causes an accumulation of waste lipids, particularly in
macrophages called Gaucher cells, leading to organ and tissue damage. Typical symptoms are enlarged organs
(liver and spleen), damage to bone marrow that results in significant bone destruction, anemia, and
thrombocytopenia.
It is a more common lysosomal storage disease than NPC but still with a clear orphan profile. The estimated
prevalence is 10,000-17,000 individuals, of whom up to 30% display neurological conditions affecting cognition.
There are good treatment options for type 1 Gaucher disease patients (the most common form and with the
absence of neurological symptoms) in the form of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and substrate reduction
therapy (SRT). Together these therapies constitute a billion-dollar sales market, despite having been approved for
decades in a couple of cases. Neither has a good effect on neurological symptoms though, leaving a true medical
need to treat neurological Gaucher disease.
REDEYE Equity Research Orphazyme 13 February 2020

Neuromuscular disorders Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
ALS is a neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and the spinal cord
nerve cells (motor neurons). Motor neurons control muscles throughout the body. When these cells die, the brain
can no longer control muscle movement. Gradually, the patient loses their ability to move, speak, eat, and breathe,
leading to severe disability, paralysis, and death. The average life expectancy after the onset of symptoms is two to
five years.
There are two different types of ALS: sporadic (SALS) and familial (FALS). The most common form is SALS,
accounting for 90-95% of cases. As it does not have a genetic component, it can affect anyone anywhere. The
average age for onset of symptoms for SALS is around 55-65 years of age.
FALS constitutes the remaining 5-10% of cases and is the inherited form of the disease. It has an earlier onset (45-
55 years of age) and more rapid progression than SALS.
According to Datamonitor, the incidence of ALS in Europe and North America was slightly above 10,000 in 2019.
Due to the short life expectancy, the estimated prevalence might only be two to five times that of the annual
incidence.
The main management of the disease is a multidisciplinary approach with neurologists, psychologists, nutritionists,
pulmonologists, physical therapists, speech therapists, and specialized nurses. More than 50 drugs have been
tested for modifying disease progression but only two have reached the market. Neither of these can halt or reverse
the disease pattern to a great extent. Another true medical need in ALS is a more accurate and early diagnosis of
the disease. As an example, there is no established biomarker.
Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis
Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis (sIBM) is a slowly but relentlessly progressing muscle-wasting disorder. Although
not considered a direct fatal disease, the patient usually loses their entire mobility in the 10-15 years after diagnosis.
There is no established disease cause to date, but degenerative factors such as misfolded proteins (i.e., inclusion
bodies) play a significant role.
sIBM is the most common muscle-wasting disorder among the elderly population, but it is still a rare condition. The
estimated prevalence in the US and Europe is some 30,000 individuals.
There is no approved drug therapy for sIBM. Available treatment options are supportive and focus on physical,
speech, and occupational therapy.

Redeye Rating and Background Definitions Company Quality
Company Quality is based on a set of quality checks across three categories; PEOPLE, BUSINESS, FINANCE. These
are the building blocks that enable a company to deliver sustained operational outperformance and attractive long-
term earnings growth.
Each category is grouped into multiple sub-categories assessed by five checks. These are based on widely
accepted and tested investment criteria and used by demonstrably successful investors and investment firms. Each
sub-category may also include a complementary check that provides additional information to assist with
investment decision-making.
If a check is successful, it is assigned a score of one point; the total successful checks are added to give a score for
each sub-category. The overall score for a category is the average of all sub-category scores, based on a scale that
ranges from 0 to 5 rounded up to the nearest whole number. The overall score for each category is then used to
generate the size of the bar in the Company Quality graphic.
People
At the end of the day, people drive profits. Not numbers. Understanding the motivations of people behind a business
is a significant part of understanding the long-term drive of the company. It all comes down to doing business with
people you trust, or at least avoiding dealing with people of questionable character.
The People rating is based on quantitative scores in seven categories:
• Passion, Execution, Capital Allocation, Communication, Compensation, Ownership, and Board.
Business
If you don’t understand the competitive environment and don’t have a clear sense of how the business will engage
customers, create value and consistently deliver that value at a profit, you won’t succeed as an investor. Knowing
the business model inside out will provide you some level of certainty and reduce the risk when you buy a stock.
The Business rating is based on quantitative scores grouped into five sub-categories:
• Business Scalability, Market Structure, Value Proposition, Economic Moat, and Operational Risks.
Financials
Investing is part art, part science. Financial ratios make up most of the science. Ratios are used to evaluate the
financial soundness of a business. Also, these ratios are key factors that will impact a company’s financial
performance and valuation. However, you only need a few to determine whether a company is financially strong or
weak.
The Financial rating is based on quantitative scores that are grouped into five separate categories:
• Earnings Power, Profit Margin, Growth Rate, Financial Health, and Earnings Quality.
