Cevira

Novel treatment for HPV related diseases of the cervix

Cevira1 Addressing Unmet Needs in Cervical Disease

  • Oncogenic Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted disease
  • Well established cause of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer
  • Close association of HPV induced cell changes and invasive cancer
  • 30 million women globally with low grade lesions/CIN1; 10 million with high grade lesions/CIN2
  • High unmet medical need for novel therapies

CEVIRA A Major Opportunity

  • Breakthrough single use and fully integrated drug-device technology to satisfy high need for novel therapies to treat global epidemic of HPV/CIN populations
  • A well tolerated non-systemic treatment option for patients which preserves fertility and avoids the morbidities of invasive surgery
  • Results of the Phase 2b trial are significant
  • Statistically significant HSIL (CIN2,3) regression in the FDA agreed phase 3 patient population (p=0.004)
  • Statistically significant virologic clearance of oncogenic HPV at 9 months after first treatment (p=0.045)
  • Excellent tolerability and high physician & patient acceptance
  • Achieved Special Protocol Agreement with FDA in August for patients with HSIL
  • Alignment on clinical phase 3 program of two similar double blind, placebo controlled studies with ~200 patients in each study with primary efficacy end point 6 months after treatment

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy
clear dose effect with a statisticaly significant response in
procram. and safety of hexaminoleyulinate (HAL) photodynamic therapy (PDT), a
novel therapy for women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)
1/2, to define the appropriate population and endpoints for a phase 3.
STUDY DESIGN: This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-
controlled, dose-finding study that induded a total of 262 women
with biopsy-confirmed CIN 1/2 based on local pathology. Patients
received 1 or 2 topical traatments of HAL hydrochioride 0.2%, 1%, 5%
spotting were reported. the HAL 5% group of 95% (18/19 patients) compared to 57%
(12/21 patients) in the placebo group $\langle P < .001 \rangle$ was observed at
3 months in women with CIN2, including an encouraging 83% (5/6)
patients) dearance of HPV 16/18 compared to 33% (2/6 patients)
in the placebo group at 6 months. The treatment was easy to use
and well accepted by patients and gynecologists. Only local self-

CEVIRA Significant Sales Potential

  • Large patient population based on biopsy confirmed histology of HSIL
  • ~1M cases HSIL annually in US & West EU1,2 detected through routine cervical screening programs; 50% of these are caused by HPV strain 16 or 183
  • ~30% risk of progress to cervical cancer4
  • Upside exists in Latin America, Asia and East EU, where burden of HPV is higher
  • LCM Opportunity for clearance of oncogenic HPV in patients with normal cytology/LSIL
  • It is estimated that ~35M are HPV infected in US & EU, with a prevalence of HPV strains 16 or 18 of 32% (~11M)
  • 10-15M cases oncogenic HPV annually in US & West EU6 detected through routine cervical screening programs
  • Persistent infection occurs in 10-20% of the cases7

Blockbuster sales potential based on premium pricing opportunity

  • At premium price levels, cost impact model demonstrates cost savings / benefit to the US health care system as compared to current treatment practice5
  • Additional significant savings when avoidance of costs associated with preterm births factored in5
  • 14 • Continued discussions with potential partners for development and commercialization
