- •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

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.)
