HF-MACE Kaplan-Meier Curve over 36 months following treatment in patients with LVESV>100ml[2 ]
==> picture [325 x 231] intentionally omitted <==
-
Over 36 months, patients receiving 150M MPC had significantly greater probability of remaining free of a first HFMACE vs. controls (0% vs. 33%, p = 0.026 by log-rank)
-
All HF-MACE events occurred in controls with baseline Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (LVESV)>100ml, where the treatment effect size was even greater (0% vs. 71%, p = 0.0007 by log rank)
-
Controls with baseline LVESV>100ml had 11 total/recurrent HF-MACE events over 36 months vs. 0 in matched patients receiving 150 M MPCs (p=0.0007)
-
HF-MACE is defined as a composite of cardiac related death or non-fatal heart failure hospitalisations.

MPC-150-IM: Phase 3 Trial Targets Advanced Heart Failure
-
Patients with large baseline LVESV and advanced heart failure are at highest risk of HF-MACE
-
Have increased likelihood of having recurrent HF hospitalizations
-
Existing therapies are inadequate and economic burden is greatest
-
To confirm that MPC-150-IM reduces HF-MACE in patients with advanced heart failure, the ongoing Phase 3 trial is designed to enrich for patients with advanced heart failure and high risk of HF-MACE
-
Enrichment for these patients based on heart failure hospitalization in the past 9 months and/or significantly elevated baseline NT-proBNP
-
The trial’s primary endpoint is a comparison of recurrent HF-MACE between cell-treated patients and controls
-
Terminal events are also being analysed as they relate to non-fatal recurrent HF-MACE

13
MPC-150-IM: Phase 3 Trial Operational Update
-
Phase 3 trial for 600 patients with advanced heart failure is recruiting well across North American sites; over 300 patients enrolled
-
After reviewing patient data in April and October 2016, the trial’s DSMB has maintained its recommendation that the study should continue as planned
-
The trial’s primary endpoint is a comparison of recurrent heart failurerelated major adverse cardiovascular events (HF-MACE) in advanced CHF patients receiving either MPC-150-IM by catheter injection into the left ventricular heart muscle, or control
-
Based on observed HF-MACE event rates in the trial to date, the Company has decided to bring forward to Q1 CY2017 a previously planned Interim Analysis to assess the trial’s primary endpoint

MPC-300-IV: Biologic Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Market Opportunity
Ongoing randomized, controlled Phase 2 Trial in 48 patients with biologic refractory rheumatoid arthritis, comparing two doses of MPC-300-IV against placebo
-
There are approximately 5.3 million prevalent cases in the US, Japan, and EU5, of which there were 2.4 million in the US alone in 2014[1 ]
-
Incidence increases with age – 8.7 per 100,000 for ages 18-34 vs. 89 per 100,000 for ages 65-74[2 ]
Market opportunity
-
RA treatment is a approximately $15 billion global market in 2014 projected to grow to over $18 billion in 2024. primarily due to sales of the anti-TNF agents[1]
-
In the US, the anti-TNF refractory population is the fastest growing branded market segment, projected to increase by approximately 8% annually and potentially higher with the expected market entry and greater availability of anti-TNF biosimilars[1]
-
One third of RA patients do not respond or cannot tolerate current biologic therapies[3]
-
Sustained remission defined by ACR 70 only occurs in 5-15% of patients on biologics[5 ]
Gap in treatment
options
-
Biologics are associated with increased incidence of opportunistic infections and malignancies[4 ]
-
Indications for currently approved biologics target either a single cytokine or immune cell pathway even though RA involves multiple signals / pathways[4 ]
-
Need for disease-modifying therapies that are well tolerated and induce remission in a greater percentage of patients (ACR 70) as early as possible in the disease management[3 ]

MPC-300-IV: Study Design for Phase 2 Trial in Biologic Refractory RA
-
Phase 2 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalating study comparing a single MPC infusion of either 1M/kg or 2M/kg against placebo in 48 patients with active RA and inadequate response to at least 1 anti-TNF +/- other biologics
-
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate safety and tolerability of a single intravenous MPC infusion in biologic refractory RA patients through a 12 week primary endpoint
-
Additional objectives were to evaluate pre-specified clinical efficacy endpoints at the primary 12 week time-point, as well as to assess the onset and time course of effect within the first 12 weeks and subsequent duration of responses and safety profile through the full 52 week study
-
The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response, a validated measure of clinical symptoms and signs, and DAS28, a validated measure of RA disease activity index, were assessed at baseline and weeks 1, 4, 8 and 12. The health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI), a validated measure of function, was assessed at baseline and weeks 4 and 12
-
All analyses and test methods for the trial’s efficacy endpoints were pre-specified in the trial’s Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) and submitted to the FDA before any analyses were conducted. The SAP included a pre-specified analysis on the key subgroup based on use of 1-2 prior biologics. No post hoc analyses were conducted

MPC-300-IV: Operational Update
-
The Phase 2 trial of Mesoblast’s intravenous product candidate, MPC-300-IV, in biologic refractory rheumatoid arthritis has completed enrollment
-
A single intravenous MPC infusion in biologic refractory RA patients was without serious adverse events over 12 weeks, and resulted in dose-related improvements in clinical symptoms, function, and disease activity
-
The responses to date in this Phase 2 trial provide support for the potential of Mesoblast’s allogeneic MPCs to be positioned early as a treatment option in RA patients who have previously received a prior anti-TNF or other biologic agent
-
Durability of response will be evaluated at 6 and 9 months
-
Given the large market opportunity, the Company believes that MPC-300-IV is wellpositioned to advance through a strategic partnership into Phase 3 development for biologic refractory rheumatoid arthritis
