GABAA modulation is Gold Standard for Insomnia > 90 % of drugs use this mechanism, incl. market leaders

US market share data according to IMS, January 2007

GABAA modulation: gold standard mechanism Clinically validated

> $ 3.5 bn annual US sales in 2006

Smoking Cessation: Enormous market potential

zMarket currently dominated by OTC nicotine replacement (patch, gum etc)

  • Total nicotine replacement sales ~ $1bn
  • z Only two non-nicotine prescription therapies currently approved:
    • Buproprion SR - Originally approved as antidepressant (available generically), branded by GSK as Zyban for smoking cessation
    • Chantix launched by Pfizer in Aug 2006 Cost ~ $3.50/day; treatment course (6 months) ~ $600
    • Sales of Chantix expected to peak at around $1bn in 2011/2012, hugely expanding total market

z44.5 million smokers in the US alone

  • 70% of current smokers report a desire to quit = 30 million
  • The average smoker will make 6 – 9 attempts to quit during their lifetime

zMarket is consumer driven and agile – opportunity for quick penetration

Scientific rationale for Smoking Cessation

  • z Nicotine dependence may be a result of smoking induced dopamine release in neuronal reward pathways
    • In smokers MAO-B activity is down (potentiates nicotine's effect on dopamine release and increases the addictive properties of tobacco)
    • In quitters reward is down and craving is up, because MAO-B activity returns to normal
    • Through MAO-B inhibition reward goes up, craving goes down because dopamine levels increase
  • zPotentially add on therapy to nicotine replacement
  • z Clinical validation
    • Lazabemide & selegiline (MAO-B inhibitors) enhance Smoking Cessation rates
    • Zyban (dopamine re-uptake inhibitor) approved for Smoking Cessation

EVT 302: Clinical validation in smoking cessation and Alzheimer's Disease (disease modifying)

  • z Potential in neurodegenerative diseases (AD, PD) and addiction
  • z Orally active, potent, selective MAO-B inhibitor
  • z Phase II clinical validation in smoking cessation (selegiline, lazabemide)
  • zPhase III clinical validation in AD
  • z Clinical status
    • Phase I SAD finished
    • Further Phase I studies begin Q2 2007

Target Product Profile Smoking Cessation

zTarget Product Profile

  • Significant differentiators
    • zOnce per week dosing
    • zPotential for additive effects in combination with nicotine replacements, Chantix
  • Nice to have
    • z Demonstrate improved efficacy in combination with nicotine replacement over nicotine replacement alone
    • zImproved long-term abstinence rate vs Chantix
    • zDemonstrated improved side effect profile vs Chantix (nausea)

zMinimum Acceptable Profile

  • No dietary restrictions
  • Once a day dosing, no dose titration
  • Efficacy and side effect profile as good as Chantix; (better than Zyban)
  • Ability to use in combination with OTC nicotine replacement

EVT 302 has a superior safety profile to other smoking cessation treatments

  • zHighly selective MAO-B inhibitor
  • z No food effect liability as highly selective
    • Selegiline has food effect label requiring dietary restrictions at high oral doses
    • Selegiline patch has food effect label at higher doses
    • (Rasagiline in PD has similar label)

zSuperior safety profile to selegiline

  • Selegiline has psychoactive metabolites in man – unknown significance
  • Drug-drug interaction with SSRIs less likely with EVT 302
  • z Expected to have fewer adverse events than Chantix with simpler dosing regimen
    • Chantix requires titration and is associated with mild to moderate nausea which does habituate

Planned preclinical and clinical studies in Smoking Cessation

  • zChronic and reproductive toxicology in two species to be completed
  • z Phase I
    • Repeat dose safety pharmacokinetics for 14 days in young and for 28 days in elderly
    • Single and repeat dose PET brain imaging MAO-B inhibition for dose finding
    • Tyramine studies to demonstrate no dietary amines food effect liability

zPhase II in Smoking Cessation

  • Two month placebo controlled efficacy in smoking cessation
  • Outcome measure 2 month quit rate
  • Design under discussion
  • Headline results in early 2009

EVT 302: Summary

  • z Highly selective potent second generation MAO-B inhibitor with multi indication potential
  • z Lower development risk and cost for significant standalone market potential in Smoking Cessation
  • z Strong competitive potential
    • Clinically effective MAO-B mechanism
    • Superior competitive safety profile
    • Potential for once per week dosing
    • Use as monotherapy or in combination with nicotine based therapies
  • z Higher development risk opportunity for disease modification in Alzheimer's Disease
    • Clinically validated mechanism
    • Existing preclinical and Phase I programme for SC also supports AD at no extra cost
    • Early Go/No Go decision to start Phase II in light of competitive scenario at that time
