Trial Design

• Bridging dose safety study

• N = 32

Results

• Safety confirmed in CF patients at 2.2g per day. No serious adverse events observed

• Modified ITT showed MS1819 CFA results of 56% vs. PERT CFA of 86%

• Approximately 50% of patients showed CFAs sufficient to reach non-inferiority with PERT

Additional findings

• No need for protease

• Coefficient of Nitrogen Absorption (CNA) of 93% MS1819 vs 97% PERT

2.2 gram• MS1819 dose

insufficient to achieve 80% CFA for all CF patients in study

• Results consistent with CP study

~50% of patients Showed CFAs sufficient to reach non-inferiority with PERT

Next Steps

• Additional study to dose escalate to 4.4g/day

• Use of enteric capsules to delay release of MS1819 in lower GI to preserve activity

Trial Design

• N = 11 CP patients

• 2-week wash-out period; ascending doses of MS1819, with the highest daily dose being 2.2 grams per day

Primary endpoints: Safety and CFA change from baseline

Secondary endpoints: Number of bowel movements, stool consistency and steatorrhea, also showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements with MS1819 treatment.

Results

• Statistically significant improvements in CFA on an ITT (Intent To Treat) and PP (Per Protocol) basis.

• Favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events
