Vobarilizumab + MTX
Favourable safety and immunogenicity profile
• Anti-vobarilizumab antibodies
- develop in up to 31% of patients
- BUT have no effect on PK, efficacy or safety
• Anti-adalimumab antibodies4
- develop in ~30% of patients
- AND are associated with loss of efficacy and an increased risk of adverse events
- 1/3rd of patients become resistant to adalimumab as a result of ADAs (with a strong signal occurring
early in the treatment cycle)

Compliance of prescribed treatment regimen
• Subcutaneous injections every two to four weeks are considered much easier to comply with as compared to taking a pill daily
• Based on non-compliance of oral medication in other chronic indications, one might expect compliance rates for JAKs to range from 30-80% or anything from 73-256 missed doses per year – as well as an important impact on efficacy this might have a very negative impact on sales
• We are not aware of any studies on JAKs showing the effect of non-compliance

• Rapid, strong and sustained effect on signs and symptoms of disease
• Much greater efficacy as a monotherapy with up to 60% more patients in clinical
remission as compared to tocilizumab
• Superior effect as a combination therapy on most stringent efficacy parameters
compared to leading commercial biologicals and oral anti-RA drugs in development
• Potential for monthly effective administration
• Class advantage of vobarilizumab vs antibodies demonstrated: anti-Nanobody
antibodies had no effect on PK, efficacy or safety
• Superior safety profile compared to other biological anti-RA drugs

• Planned filing for conditional approval in Europe
(Q1 2017) and BLA submission in USA (2018)

ULvWF
Ex vivo assay for platelet string formation
Fluorescence microscopy image of platelets adhering to UL-vWF in plasma of an aTTP patient
Without treatment, fluorescently labelled platelets adhere to

Caplacizumab inhibits the formation of platelet strings and potentially
the associated microvascular thrombi in many organs
Caplacizumab blocks the platelet – ULvWF interaction

Acquired TTP (aTTP)
• aTTP is caused by impaired activity of ADAMTS13 (<10% of that in normal plasma1)
– extensive microclot formation in small blood vessels throughout the body
– leads to tissue ischemia and damage to vital organs
• Ultra-rare condition with incidence estimated at up to 11 per million2
• High unmet medical need with no approved therapeutic drug currently available
– high mortality in acute phase (10-20%)3 and ~ 36% of patients have a recurrence2
– significant thromboembolic complications, including brain (e.g. stroke), heart and kidney damage
– impacts life expectancy and quality of life

Despite the current standard-of-care, the unmet need in aTTP remains high and is
primarily:
• immediate and direct inhibition of pathological micro-clot formation to reduce risk
of mortality and morbidity
• prevention of disease recurrence until the underlying autoimmune response has
been resolved

TITAN Phase II study of caplacizumab
Clinical proof-of-concept achieved in aTTP patients
• Primary endpoint met with high statistical significance (p=0.005) - nearly 40% reduction in time to platelet normalisation
= faster reversion of thrombocytopenia and reduced use of plasma exchange
• 71% fewer patients with recurrences during treatment - potential prevention of organ damage
• Post-hoc analysis - caplacizumab treated patients experienced fewer major thromboembolic
events as compared to placebo (11.4% vs 43.2%)
- fewer caplacizumab treated patients refractory to plasma exchange
treatment compared to placebo (5.7% vs 21.6%)

Caplacizumab
Key component of new standard-of-care
Caplacizumab is an innovative treatment for aTTP
providing immediate prevention of micro-clot formation,
reducing morbidity and mortality
Immediate blocking of micro-clot formation results in
• faster resolution of the acute episode of aTTP
• reduction in risk of mortality and thromboembolic events
• prevention of recurrence of disease while on treatment
• reduction in risk of refractoriness to treatment
• reduction in dependency on PEX
