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

Ex vivo assay for platelet string formation

the associated microvascular thrombi in many organs

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
