EVT 201 Study 2004: Top-Line Results

Secondary endpoints

  • z Patients reported highly significant improvements in subjectively assessed quality of sleep (p<0.001 both doses)
  • zNo effect on subjectively assessed residual sedation the next day
  • z A small decremental effect on the digital symbol substitution test (DSST) assessed at nine hours post dose
  • zNo impairment of Slow Wave Sleep (SWS)

Analysis of other secondary endpoints is ongoing.

02 Our Pipeline

EVT 201 insomnia drug: Potential for differentiation

  • z "Gold Standard" clinical mechanismin insomnia
  • z High affinity, α1 preferring partial positive allosteric modulator
  • Potentially also reducing symptoms of anxiety
  • Low potential for dependence
  • z Sleep inducing, but not a "knock out" (partial agonist)
  • No disruption of sleep architecture
  • z Close to optimal PK profile supports sleep maintenance
  • 3.5 hr T1/2ideal for good sleep maintenance and no hangover
  • zSimilar PK in young and elderly, ease of use across patient spectrum
  • zSubjective feeling of a good night's sleep
  • z Strong proof-of-Concept for EVT 201 demonstrated in patients
  • A key piece of the data package for partnering EVT 201 is now in place

EVT 302: Smoking cessation and Alzheimer's

  • z Orally active, potent, highly selective MAO-B inhibitor
  • z Potential in neurodegenerative diseases (AD, PD) and addiction
  • Phase II clinical validation in smoking cessation (selegiline, lazabemide)
  • Phase III clinical validation for MAO-B inhibition in AD

zClinical status

  • Phase I SAD finished
  • Further Phase I studies during 2007
  • Phase II in smoking cessation planned to begin mid 2008

02 Our Pipeline

Smoking cessation: Enormous market potential

  • zNicotine replacements - market value ~ \$1bn today
  • z Large market, consumer driven and agile
  • 44.5 million smokers in the US
  • 70% of smokers desire to quit = 30 million
  • Average smoker will make 6 – 9 attempts to quit during their lifetime
  • z 2 non-nicotine prescription therapies approved
  • Buproprion SR - originally an antidepressant (available generically), branded by GSK as Zyban for smoking cessation
  • Chantix by Pfizer
    • Launched in Aug 2006
    • Peak sales expectation at \$1bn in 2011/2012

EVT 302: Strong product characteristics

z Smoking cessation - lower development risk and cost, strong competitive potential

  • Clinically effective MAO-B mechanism
  • Superior competitive safety profile over first generation MAO-B inhibitors with potential for no food restriction and better tolerability than Chantix
  • Potential for once per week dosing
  • Use as mono-therapy or in combination with nicotine based therapies

zAlzheimer's disease - higher development risk for disease modification

  • Clinically validated mechanism
  • Existing preclinical and Phase I programme for smoking cessation also validates compound for Alzheimer's disease at no extra cost
  • Go/No Go decision to start Phase II in light of competitive scenario at that time

EVT 101: Selectivity provides key differentiation

  • z Oral NR2B subtype selective NMDA receptor antagonist
  • z Potential in neurodegenerative diseases and pain
  • z 'Memantine' - a non-selective NMDA competitor drug - shows blockbuster potential in Alzheimer's disease

zClinical status

  • Phase I successfully completed
  • Phase Ib/IIa to start in H1 2007
  • Preclinical toxicology in progress to allow longer-term clinical studies

Multi indication potential (Alzheimer, Pain, other indications)

  • z Symptomatic Alzheimer's disease treatment, potential for disease modification
  • NR2B selectivity should translate into clinical advantages over 'memantine'
  • z Novel approach for treatment of neuropathic pain
  • Clinical proof-of-concept for NR2B antagonists in neuropathic pain, plus a wealth of preclinical evidence
  • zNovel perioperative pain indication
  • z Status and plans:
  • EVT 101 has a highly desirable preclinical profile
    • -Potent and highly NR2B subtype selective NMDA antagonist
    • -Excellent drug-like properties, oral adsorption, PK and brain penetration
  • Phase I successfully completed; EVT 101 ready for Phase II proof-of-concept
  • Choice of EVT 101 Phase II to be determined after Phase Ib/IIa studies
  • Back up EVT 103 and injectable programmes
