Market opportunity for IPF
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible, unpredictable and incurable disease
THE STATISTICS
People living with IPF 300,000
People die from IPF every year 40,000
Median length of survival after IPF diagnosis
3.8 years

AdAlta’s place in the IPF treatment landscape
==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [7 x 8] intentionally omitted <==
FDA approvals of pirfenidone and nintedanib in 2014 has led to greater confidence in the development of drugs for IPF
- Neither are optimal therapies - the disease process is slowed, not reversed
A number of products in development
- Provide pathway for Phase II and III trials
No IPF treatments under development targeting CXCR4
- Existing approved CXCR4 small molecule antagonist Mozobil very different pharmacology to AD-214 and toxic when provided in chronic setting
==> picture [206 x 159] intentionally omitted <==
High unmet medical need: there is a significant opportunity for multiple classes of drug to be clinically valuable and commercially successful for the management of IPF patients

AD-214 safe in 4-week toxicology study
RECENT DATA
==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
3 non-human primate studies completed
==> picture [7 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
Most recent: a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) study to evaluate safety and toxicology prior to initial human studies
-
10mg/kg, 30mg/kg and 100mg/kg multiple doses over four weeks plus recovery
-
AD-214 well tolerated with no deaths, no AD-214-related clinical signs, no changes in a panel of clinical observations, and only slight transient and completely reversible haematology changes
Tox study results were in line with expectations and in keeping with previous studies
