CEO statement
2016 was in many ways a defining year for Hansa Medical. We successfully continued the development of our novel and innovative immunomodulatory enzymes, in particular our lead candidate, IdeS, enabling transplantation in sensitized patients.
Our unique business opportunity and value-creating strategy has been recognized by a number of investors with substantial investment experience in the life science industry. Furthermore, we have met a lot of interest for our research in the scientific and medical community, which has resulted in the presentation of the results from our clinical trials at several scientific and medical congresses. This was an exciting year – we continued to move our pipeline programs forward and delivered on our milestones. I am convinced we are well-positioned for the future.
In December, we announced the completion of the second Swedish open-label Phase II study with IdeS, conducted at Uppsala University Hospital and Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge. In the study, 10 sensitized kidney patients were given IdeS prior to transplantation. The study met its primary and secondary objectives, and further supports our belief that IdeS holds significant therapeutic value for sensitized patients in need of a lifesaving transplantation.
In the completed and ongoing Phase II studies with IdeS in Sweden and the US, treatment with IdeS has effectively eliminated the antibody barrier in all sensitized patients. Fast and effective elimination of anti-HLA IgG antibodies enables kidney transplantation for sensitized patients, who otherwise would not be considered for kidney transplantation due to the apparent risk of hyperacute rejection.
Results from the recent studies with IdeS were presented by the principal investigators at a number of renowned scientific and medical meetings.
In June, Professor Stanley Jordan presented initial data from one of the US studies at the 2016 American Transplant Congress in Boston, and in August, Professor Gunnar Tufveson presented equally encouraging results from one of the Swedish studies at the 26th International Congress of the Transplantation Society in Hong Kong.
Our objective is now to demonstrate that the mode of action of IdeS is equally relevant for the more severe cases of HLA-sensitization, in order to enable transplantation for patients that have been on the waitlist far too long. In October, the first patient in our multicenter clinical study, Highdes, was treated with IdeS and subsequently transplanted. The Highdes study is exclusively aimed at highly sensitized patients and approximately 20 patients will be recruited in the US and Europe.
We believe that the Highdes study, together with the already completed and ongoing studies, will provide data to support a Biologics License Application (BLA) in the US and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the EU.
We have also obtained Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for IdeS from the European Commission for the prevention of graft rejection following solid organ transplantation. IdeS was previously granted ODD by the US Food and Drug Administration. These are important regulatory milestones that will provide us with development and commercial incentives, including 10 years of market exclusivity in the EU, protocol assistance on the development of the drug,
including clinical studies, and certain exemptions from or reductions in regulatory fees.
In parallel with our groundbreaking work in organ transplantation, we are equally determined to pursue the therapeutic potential of IdeS in a number of other indications. We believe that the fast onset and efficacy of IdeS has the potential to revolutionize the critical care in several transplant-related indications and acute autoimmune diseases, including Anti-GBM antibody disease and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
A clinical study in asymptomatic Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) was discontinued in December after review of initial data from treatment of two patients since we were not able to demonstrate a convincing risk-benefit profile in these patients. We are optimistic about the clinical development of IdeS in our lead programs and the decision to end the study has no impact on Hansa Medical's ongoing studies with IdeS in kidney transplant or planned studies in other autoimmune indications.
In October, we decided to raise SEK 185 million in a directed share issue to selected international specialist investors, as well as Swedish institutional and strategic investors, in order to fully execute our strategy and continue developing our programs. The share issue was well-received and has broadened our shareholder base.
Over the last twelve months, we have also continued to build a strong, committed team at Hansa Medical. We are now more than 30 co-workers and plan to further strengthen the organization, as we get closer to the commercialization phase. In the second quarter, we appointed Henk Doude van Troostwijk as Vice President of Commercial Operations. His focus includes developing and executing our strategies for market access, pricing and reimbursement. In the third quarter we appointed Karin Aschan as Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. Karin brings many years of experience from regulatory strategy development.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 11, Ulf Wiinberg and Angelica Loskog were elected new board members. Ulf, who was also elected new chairman, and Angelica bring both strength and industry expertise to the company.
Looking back at 2016, I feel that we have accomplished many important things, both scientifically and operationally.
Outlook
We achieved several important scientific and regulatory milestones in 2016 with our lead candidate, IdeS. This drug has shown significant potential to become an important new treatment option to enable patients to receive the lifesaving transplant they desperately need.
We have a solid and exciting value-creation strategy in place, and our novel immunomodulatory enzymes have the potential to deliver significant value. Furthermore, we have strengthened the company and have the right team in place to continue progressing our programs, benefiting all our stakeholders and, most importantly, the patients. With data expected from a number of clinical studies this year, we look forward to 2017 with continued optimism.

Lead candidate IdeS
IdeS – A novel therapeutic principle
Our lead candidate drug, IdeS, represents a unique and novel approach to rapidly and effectively eliminate pathogenic IgG-antibodies. IdeS, Immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes, specifically cleaves immunoglobulin G (IgG). Several autoimmune diseases are characterized by pathogenic IgG-antibodies and in organ and tissue transplantation, pathogenic IgG-antibodies can prohibit patients from being transplanted or cause organ rejection after transplantation. Hansa Medical develops IdeS as a single intravenous treatment for fast and effective elimination of pathogenic IgG-antibodies in transplantation and autoimmune diseases.
Overview of Hansa Medical's clinical program with IdeS
The clinical development program is currently focused on treatment prior to kidney transplantation. The long-term vision for Hansa Medical is to establish IdeS as a therapy for fast and efficient elimination of pathogenic IgG in several transplant-related indications and autoimmune diseases.
IdeS has been evaluated in a Phase I study [1] in healthy subjects and in two Phase II studies in sensitized patients awaiting kidney transplantation. The results in these studies indicate that IdeS is highly effective in reducing anti-HLA antibodies to levels acceptable for transplantation with a favorable safety profile.
The efficacy and safety of IdeS is currently being investigated in two ongoing Phase II studies in sensitized kidney transplantation patients. Additional Phase II studies within kidney transplantation are being planned in Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection (AMR) post-kidney transplantation and desensitization prior to blood group incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation. Also, Phase II studies with IdeS are being planned in the rare autoimmune diseases anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane disease (anti-GBM disease) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
Ongoing clinical studies with IdeS
IdeS – Desensitization prior to kidney transplantation
Desensitization with IdeS immediately prior to kidney transplantation represents a completely unique and novel approach with the potential to desensitize sensitized patients.
Latest developments
In December 2016, the Phase II study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of intravenous ascending doses of IdeS in kidney transplantation was successfully completed, and the primary and secondary objectives were met. In the study, 10 sensitized kidney patients were given IdeS, which enabled all of them to have a kidney transplantation thereafter. Data generated from this study have been submitted for peer review in a scientific journal.
Two additional Phase II studies are ongoing with IdeS in sensitized patients prior to kidney transplantation – an investigator-initiated US Phase II study at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and a Hansa Medical-sponsored multicenter study in the US and
Europe. These studies are evaluating safety and tolerability, as well as efficacy of IdeS.
In early October 2016, the first patient was treated and subsequently transplanted in the Phase II multicenter study named Highdes, evaluating the efficacy of IdeS in desensitizing highly sensitized transplantation patients with a positive crossmatch test. The enrolment of this study continues according to plan. The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of IdeS in creating a negative crossmatch test in highly sensitized patients with antibodies to the donor.
Removing donor-specific antibodies will enable transplantation in patients who would otherwise not qualify for transplantation. The study will also evaluate safety, kidney function and immunogenicity during the 6-month follow-up period. The aim is to complete enrolment of approximately 20 patients over a 12-month period.
Regulatory strategy for IdeS in desensitization
The Highdes study will recruit patients that have either failed on previous attempts of desensitization or are likely to fail desensitization with currently available methods. Hansa Medical aims to obtain market authorization in the US and Europe for IdeS for this category of patients as soon as possible. It is anticipated that the Highdes study, together with the completed and ongoing studies, will provide data to support a Biologics License Application (BLA) in the US and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the European Union.
Planned clinical studies with IdeS in additional indications
Treatment of kidney transplant antibody-mediated rejection (AMR)
Approximately 10%[2] of all transplant patients experience AMR post-transplant. Although different experimental protocols are used in the treatment of AMR, there is currently no approved treatment. In the more severe cases of AMR, these experimental protocols are generally not sufficient to rescue the kidney since the magnitude of the antibody response exceeds the capacity of the treatment, e.g. plasmapheresis, to clear the antibodies.
Blood-group incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation
ABOi transplantations have increased worldwide in order to shorten the long waiting times for transplantation. If not adequately removed, the presence of preformed antibodies compared to donor blood group antigens is likely to result in severe AMR and early graft loss.
Acute treatment of anti-GBM disease
Anti-GBM antibody disease is a disorder in which antibodies directed against the basement membrane of the kidney and lung cause acute and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and lung hemorrhage. It affects one in a million annually [3].
Acute treatment of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)
GBS is an acute autoimmune disease in which the peripheral nervous system is attacked by the immune system and IgG-antibodies. It affects one in 100,000 annually [4].
Discontinued clinical study with IdeS
IdeS – Treatment of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)
Acquired TTP is a severe and acute autoimmune blood disorder in which the presence of autoantibodies can result in systemic life threatening micro-clotting in vital organs.
Latest developments
In October 2016, Hansa Medical initiated an open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of IdeS in asymptomatic patients with acquired TTP. Hansa Medical later decided to stop enrolment to the study following a review of the initial results from the study demonstrating a non-favorable risk benefit profile. This decision has no impact on Hansa Medical's ongoing studies with IdeS in renal transplantation or planned studies in other autoimmune indications. The possibility to investigate the safety and efficacy of IdeS in symptomatic acute patients with TTP in a separate Phase II study is being evaluated.
Preclinical development projects
NiceR – Novel immunoglobulin cleaving enzymes for repeat dosing
Hansa Medical develops completely novel IgG-degrading enzymes. The aim of NiceR is to create novel IgG-inactivating biopharmaceuticals that can be used for repeated dosing in autoimmune conditions where patients would benefit from more than one dose of an IgG-modulating enzyme.
EndoS – Treatment of autoimmune diseases
EndoS, Endoglycosidase of Streptococcus pyogenes, is an enzyme that specifically hydrolyzes the functionally important glycan in IgG. EndoS has proven to be effective in a range of preclinical autoimmune models, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), autoimmune hemolysis, multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune blistering skin disorder. Given the importance, we believe that EndoS may have the potential to be a novel therapy for autoimmune diseases.
EnzE – Enzyme based antibody Enhancement
Many antibody-based cancer therapies rely on activation of the immune system via antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). The antibodies bind to antigens on cancer cells and once attached, the antibodies attract immune cells to destroy the cancer cells. For instance, the anti-CD20 antibody, which is used for treatment of lymphoma and leukemia, binds to CD20 on cancer cells and activates cytotoxic immune cells to kill the cancer cells. The immune cells are activated through binding of the Fc-part of the
antibody to Fc-gamma receptors on the cell surface of the immune cells. The Fc-gamma receptors are involved in the therapeutic effector functions of many different antibodies and often needed to have sufficient effect. However, due to the abundancy of normal IgG in blood, the Fc-gamma receptors are occupied by IgG and the therapeutic antibodies have to compete for binding to the Fcgamma receptors. Hence pre-treatment with IdeS or EndoS has the potential to potentiate presently available antibody-based cancer therapies. Results from in vitro testing of the concept have been published by Baruah et al [5].
Out-licensed royalty generating programs
HBP – Prediction of severe sepsis
HBP-assay (measurement of Heparin Binding Protein) is a novel diagnostic method developed and patented by Hansa Medical to help predict severe sepsis in patients with infectious disease symptoms at emergency departments. Hundreds of thousands of patients die every year due to severe sepsis as a complication to infections, e.g. urinary tract infection and pneumonia. Many of these infections can be effectively treated with antibiotics in order to prevent progression to severe sepsis although early prediction of risk patients is crucial for successful treatment. Severe sepsis affects 300 of 100,000 people annually [6].
HBP-assay has been fully out-licensed by Hansa Medical to UK-based Axis-Shield Diagnostics, a subsidiary to Alere Inc. (NY-SE:ALR), and Hansa Medical holds the right to royalty payments from Axis-Shield. Axis-Shield is engaged in further product development and clinical development with HBP-assay.

Other information
Employees and organization
The number of employees at the end of the fourth quarter 2016 was 27, compared to 19 at the end of same period 2015.
Share warrant program
Hansa Medical's Annual General Meeting adopted on June 2, 2015 a share warrant program for the company's employees. 296,000 warrants were acquired by the company's employees during 2015. In 2016, 59,000 warrants within the program have been acquired by recently joined employees. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in Hansa Medical. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms of the warrants may take place during the period from June 15, 2018 to June 15, 2019. The warrants were sold to the company's employees on market terms at a price established on the basis of an estimated market value of the warrants using the Black & Scholes model calculated by an independent valuation institute.
The increase in the company's share capital upon full exercise of the share warrants will amount to SEK 355,000, and corresponds to a dilution of approximately 1.1 percent of the total number of shares and the total number of votes in the company. The option program is subsidized by the company, and the employees, except the CEO, have been given a one-time bonus as part of the stock option purchase. The options are linked to continued employment with the company only in the sense that, if the employment would be terminated, the stock option owner shall offer the warrants to the company and repay the resulting subsidy. The subsidy will affect the company's results proportionately during the option period in accordance with the same principles as in IFRS 2.
Long-term incentive program (LTIP 2016)
The Hansa Medical's Extraordinary General Meeting November 21, 2016 resolved to adopt a long-term incentive program (LTIP 2016) in the form of a performance based share program for all employees of the Hansa Medical Group, meaning that not more than 30 individuals within the group may participate. The rationale for LTIP 2016 is to create conditions for motivating and retaining competent employees of the Hansa Medical group and for the alignment of the targets of the employees with those of the shareholders and the company, as well as to increase the motivation of meeting and exceeding the company's financial targets. A maximum of 305,000 rights may be allotted to participants under LTIP 2016 and 234,750 rights have been totally allocated at December 31, 2016. Participants will, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled, be granted the opportunity to obtain ordinary shares free of charge, i.e. so-called "Performance shares" after the vesting period November 28, 2019.
The general meeting further resolved, in order to implement LTIP 2016 cost effectively, to authorize the Board to decide on a directed share issue of a maximum of 401,000 Class C shares to participating bank, of which a maximum of 96,000 Class C shares to be
issued to cover any social costs arising from the program and to authorize the Board to resolve to repurchase all issued C-shares. After the conversion of C shares to ordinary shares, these shall partly be transferred to participants in LTIP 2016 and partly divested in the market for cash flow purposes to secure certain payments related to LTIP 2016, mainly social security costs. Not more than 305,000 ordinary shares can be transferred to participants under LTIP 2016 and 96,000 common shares can be used to cover any social security contributions due to the LTIP 2016, which means a dilution of approximately 1.21 per cent of the ordinary shares and votes in the company.
LTIP 2016 will be reported in accordance with IFRS 2 which means that rights should be expensed as a personnel cost over the vesting period. The cost of LTIP 2016, calculated in accordance IFRS 2, including social security contributions is expected to amount to approximately SEK 17.2m, of which SEK 0.5m is included in the results for the parent company and the group for 2016. The program is not expected to have any net effect on cash flow provided it is secured fully in the manner described above.
Committee for the 2017 Annual General Meeting
Hansa Medical AB's Nomination Committee for the AGM 2017 will consist of the three members Erika Kjellberg Eriksson representing Nexttobe AB, Sven Sandberg representing Thomas Olausson, Max Mitteregger representing Gladiator AB and the chairman of the board Ulf Wiinberg is adjunct.

AMR
Antibody mediated transplant rejection.
Antibody
One type of proteins produced by the body's immune system with the ability to recognize foreign substances, bacteria or viruses. Antibodies are also called immunoglobulins.
Anti-GBM disease
Anti-GBM antibody disease is a disorder in which circulating antibodies directed against an antigen intrinsic to the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in the kidney, thereby resulting in acute or rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
Autoimmune disease
Diseases that occur when the body's immune system reacts against the body's own structures.
Biopharmaceutical
A pharmaceutical drug that is manufactured using biotechnology.
Biotechnology
The use of live cells or components of cells, to produce or modify products used in health care, food, and agriculture.
Clinical studies
Investigation of a new drug or treatment using healthy subjects or patients with the intention to study the efficacy and safety of a not-yet-approved treatment approach.
Clinical Phase I
The first time that a drug under development is administered to humans. Phase I studies are often conducted with a small number of healthy volunteers to assess the safety and dosing of a not yet approved form of treatment.
Clinical Phase II
Refers to the first time that a drug under development is administered to patients for the study of safety, dosage and efficacy of a not yet approved treatment regimen.
Clinical Phase III
Trials that involve many patients and often continue for a longer time; they are intended to identify the drug's effects and side effects during ordinary but still carefully controlled conditions.
EndoS
A bacterial endoglycosidase of Streptococcus pyogenes. An enzyme with the unique ability to modify a specific carbohydrate chain of immunoglobulins.
Enzyme
A protein that accelerates or starts a chemical reaction without itself being consumed.
FDA
US Food and Drug Administration.
Guillian-Barré syndrome
GBS, Guillian-Barré syndrome, is an acute autoimmune disease in which the peripheral nervous system is attacked by the immune system and IgG antibodies.
HBP
Heparin Binding Protein is a naturally occurring protein that is produced by certain immune cells, i.e. neutrophilic granulocytes, to direct immune cells from the bloodstream into the tissues.
HLA
Human Leukocyte Antigen is a protein complex found on the surface of all cells in a human. The immune system uses HLA to distinguish between endogenous and foreign.
IdeS
IdeS, immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes, a bacterial enzyme with strict specificity for IgG antibodies. The enzyme has a unique ability to cleave and thereby inactivate human IgG antibodies.
IgG
IgG, Immunoglobulin G, is the predominant type of antibody in serum.
In vitro
Term within biomedical science to indicate that experiments or observations are made, for example in test tubes, i.e. in an artificial environment and not in a living organism.
In vivo
Term within biomedical science to indicate that experiments or observations are made on living organisms.
IVD
IVD, In vitro diagnostics, are tests that can detect diseases, conditions, or infections, usually from blood samples or urine samples. Some tests are used in laboratory or other health professional settings and other tests are for consumers to use at home.
Milestones
Payments a company receives in accordance with a cooperation agreement after the company reaches a pre-set target, such as "proof-of-concept".
Pivotal trial
A clinical trial intended to provide efficacy and safety data for NDA approval at e.g. FDA or EMA. In some cases, Phase II studies can be used as pivotal studies if the drug is intended to treat life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions.
Preclinical development
Testing and documentation of a pharmaceutical candidate's properties (e.g. safety and feasibility) before initiation of clinical trials.
Sepsis
Diagnosed or suspected infection in combination with the patient being in a systemic inflammatory state (SIRS). Clinical symptoms of systemic inflammation may be a combination of fever, increased heart rate and increased respiratory rate.
Severe sepsis
Sepsis is progressing into severe sepsis when the patient may suffer circulatory effects and reduced functions of vital organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys or liver.
Streptococcus pyogenes
A Gram-positive bacterium that primarily can be found in the human upper respiratory tract. Some strains can cause throat or skin infections.
Thrombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura
TTP, Thrombotic Thombocytopenic Purpura, is a rare thrombotic disorder. In the majority of patients, TTP is a result of autoantibody-mediated inhibition of an enzyme (ADAMTS13) that is vital in controlling clotting.
