  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the lead indications
  • • Psoriasis has been developed in first phase II studies
  • ¾ Currently on hold upon AbbVie request until after opt-in
  • Very good tolerability/safety is a competitive advantage for diseases that require life-long treatment

Current status

  • Production of clinical material for phase III started in 2014 at BPC with improved process
  • Yield approximately doubled
  • Phase IIb in RA ongoing

Tregalizumab (BT-061) Treat 2b study: Patient recruitment completed

Q3 2015: AbbVie decision point on opt-in and start of Phase III

T cell REgulating Arthritis Trial 2b(TREAT 2b)

Civacir® investigational drug product

  • • Intravenous Hepatitis C Immunoglobulin (10% concentration)
  • • For the prevention of HCV* recurrence in patients undergoing liver transplantation
  • • Utilizes a short duration of new antivirals to reduce viral load just prior to transplantation
  • • Civacir® antibodies neutralise any remaining HCV and protect the transplanted liver

Composition of Civacir ®

• HCV mutates faster than HIV and an individual can be infected by several HCV mutant populations

  • •Antibodies can be made against all HCV proteins; structural and non-structural
  • Antibody diversity is limited by genetics in any one infected individual, leaving gaps in patient's ability to neutralize HCV

Civacir® has antibody diversity isolated from hundreds of HCV donors with high titres of neutralising antibodies

Civacir® therefore provides a spectrum of antibody protection to neutralise HCV and protect the new liver from infection

New virostatics offers only limited protection from viral recurrence after transplantation

Even with pre-treatment with Sofosbuvir or other virostatics viral recurrence rate in transplanted patients is still ~40 %

*SVR = sustained viral response; source: Curry et al, AASLD 2013

Ongoing US Civacir ®trial (study 988)

  • • Evaluation of efficacy, safety & pharmacokinetics of Civacir® in liver transplant recipients
  • • 24 centres in North America, expansion to Europe in preparation
  • •Leading hepatologists involved in study
  • •Enrolling patients infected with HCV genotypes 1 - 6
  • •Study will enrol up to 84 patients

988 Study: Interim Analysis (AASLD 2014 N. Terrault et al.)

Primary Objective

Determine proportion of Civacir® treated subjects with unquantifiable HCV RNA(<43IU/ml) at 22 weeks post liver transplant (LT) compared to the control group

The goal for Civacir ®

  • • Civacir® is a save and effective treatment option for patients with undetectable to <100 IU / ml viral load at transplantation
  • • Transplantation is feasible as soon as antiviral reduces the viral load to <100 IU / ml:
  • ÎHigh flexibility in time point of transplantation
  • ÎNo lengthy pre-treatment with antivirals required

The Hepatitis C virus is eradicated, the transplanted liver is protected and the patient is cured

LT = Liver Transplantation

Haematology: Indatuximab Ravtansine (BT-062)

Targeted mechanism of action:

  • • Antibody docks on cancer cell and toxin is then released:
  • • Targets cancer cells while healthy cells are very largely spared

  • • Clinical development in the lead indication multiple myeloma is continuing

  • • Sales potential in multiple myeloma of € 950 m; in triple negative breast cancer and bladder cancer € 1,100 m
  • • Very convincing data from this phase II study (combination with Lenalidomide) will be presented at the ASH* conference on 6-9 December 2014

ASH abstract: Indatuximab Ravtansine (BT-062)

  • •BT-062 is well tolerated with LenDEX (Lenalidomide/Dexamethason)
  • • Very good responses in patients with relapsed and / or refractory multiple myeloma and patients who do not respond to standard therapy
  • • Overall response rate (ORR) is 78% including:
  • ¾8% complete remissions
  • ¾28% very good partial remissions
  • ¾42% partial remissions
  • • Further data will be presented at the 56. ASH conference on 6-9 December 2014 in San Francisco, USA (Kevin R. Kelly, et al.)

* ASH = American Society of Haematology
