Caplacizumab

What is the biological basis of TTP?

Caplacizumab blocks the platelet –

ULvWF interaction

ULvWF and anti-vWF Nanobody

ULvWF

Ex vivo assay for platelet string formation

Fluorescence microscopy image of platelets adhering to UL-vWF in plasma of TTP patients

Without treatment, fluorescently labelled platelets adhere to

UL-vWF, observed as string-like structures

Caplacizumab inhibits the formation of platelet strings and potentially

the associated microvascular thrombi in many organs

Ultra-Large (UL)

vWF multimers Platelet string

formation in patients

with TTP

ADAMTS13 activity is

impaired

endothelium

Caplacizumab binds to A1

domain of vWF and thereby

inhibits platelet string formation

14

Acquired TTP

• Potentially life threatening rare disorder of the blood coagulation system

– incidence of 11.3 per million1

– ~10,000 acute events annually in US and Europe

• Extensive microscopic thrombi formed in small blood vessels throughout the body

• High unmet medical need

– no approved medicinal product for treatment available

– mortality remains high (10-30%)2 and ~ 36% of patients have relapses1

– major morbidities after TTP episode such as neurocognitive impairment

– standard of care is plasma exchange (PE) plus immune suppressants

TITAN trial summary

• Patients treated with caplacizumab achieved confirmed platelet

normalisation at more than twice the rate of the group treated with

placebo

• This effect was statistically significant (p = 0.013)

Strong clinical proof-of-concept

• 71% fewer patients with an exacerbation

• No deaths in the caplacizumab arm compared to 2 deaths in the

placebo arm

• Increased bleeding tendency (but believed to be manageable)

• Overall, caplacizumab has an acceptable safety profile

Caplacizumab

Current status and next steps

17

Caplacizumab could be approved for sale in Europe in 2018

• Confirmed clinical activity and good safety profile in the clinic

• Intention to file for conditional approval in EU in H1 2017 based on Phase II

• Preparations progressing to start Phase III study in H2 2015

• Intention to submit BLA in USA following Phase III study completion

• Commercialisation/partnering strategy currently under evaluation

ALX-0171

Wholly-owned anti-RSV Nanobody

(RSV) infection in infants

• Delivered by inhalation

• First-in-infant Phase IIa on-going with

results expected in H1 2016

• Opportunity in multi-billion dollar market

19

RSV infection in infants

• Leading cause of infant hospitalisation and primary viral cause of infant death

– ~300,000 children* (< 5 years) hospitalised per year in 7 major markets1,2

– increased medical cost in the first year following RSV infection3

– prolonged wheezing and increased risk for asthma development4

• No widely accepted drug available to treat RSV infections

– Synagis® used as prophylaxis in high-risk pre-term infants only ($1.1Bn sales in 2013)

* Extrapolation based on estimated US prevalence 1 Hall et al, NEJM, 2009; 2 Lee et al, Human Vaccines, 2005; 3 Shi et al, J Med Econ, 2011; 4 Sigurs et al, Thorax, 2010; Backman et al, Acta Pediatr, 2014

ALX-0171

• Well tolerated in multiple Phase I clinical studies in adults

• In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated

– potent anti-viral effect against recent clinical RSV isolates

– 10,000 fold reduction in viral titres and superiority over palivizumab (Synagis®)1

– daily inhalation of ALX-0171 for 3 consecutive days in neonatal lamb model for infant RSV

demonstrated markedly reduced symptoms of illness (“Malaise Score”)2

Bi-specific Nanobodies

Synergistically improve potency

• All HIV strains need the primary receptor CD4 and a chemokine co-receptor to enter and

infect host CD4+ T cells

– X4 type viruses use CXCR4; R5 type viruses use CCR5

• Synergistic improvement in HIV-1 blockade of CXCR4-CD4 bi-specific Nanobody over

monovalent Nanobodies

– up to 320-fold enhancement with bi-specific Nanobody over mono-specific

– only 2-fold enhancement with combination of monovalents in solution (1:1) over monospecific

– linking of the Nanobodies is essential for strong enhancement

Caplacizumab

• TITAN investigators, other KOLs and payers overwhelmingly positive about

caplacizumab product profile and value proposition

– Orphan Drug addressing a high unmet medical need

– innovative MOA providing specific platelet protective effect, thereby having the potential to

reduce morbidity due to organ damage

– potential for shorter duration of acute and life-threatening episodes

– potential for less exacerbations and relapses

– potential cost savings (reduction in volume and days of plasma exchange; shorter time in

intensive care)

• Ablynx estimates peak sales for caplacizumab to be in the range of €300M-

€400M*

* US, EU5, Japan, other mkts / Jefferies estimates: $400 million peak sales (14 Oct 2014)

ALX-0171

Suitability of neonatal lamb model compared with human challenge model

• Lambs develop lower respiratory tract infection which is associated with general malaise and specific

lung pathology (comparable to infants)

• Treatment at peak of viral load on day 3 post infection (symptoms and lung pathology are already clearly

present)

• Lambs develop clinical symptoms such as wheezing (comparable to infants)

ALX-0171

• September 2012 – Phase I first-in-human study

– 60 healthy volunteers

– single-ascending dose and multiple dose up to 210 mg inhaled twice daily for 5 days

– well tolerated, with no clinically relevant adverse events or effects on lung function

• May 2014 – Phase I safety study in adults with hyper-reactive airways

– 24 subjects

– single-ascending dose and multiple dose part up to 200 mg inhaled daily for five days

– some cases of mild bronchoconstriction which could be immediately reversed

• May 2014 – Phase I PK study

– 41 healthy volunteers

– single and multiple dose of 200 mg inhaled daily for 5 days and single dose of 0.3

mg/kg iv

– local half-life of ALX-0171 is approximately 20 hours, confirming potential for once-daily

ALX-0171

• First-in-class potential addressing a disease with a high unmet medical need

– no adequate therapeutic treatment for RSV infections in infants

• Most infants are infected with RSV during their first year of life

• Nearly all children will have had an RSV infection by the age of 2

• Opportunity to treat RSV infection in infants

– hospitalised setting (~300,000 infants per year in the 7 major markets)

– out-patient setting (~2 million infants <1 year of age per year in 7 major markets)

Current and emerging therapies

• TNFα inhibitors dominate the RA market; but for >30% of patients, alternative

treatment approaches are needed (patients may not respond or may not tolerate

the drug, or become refractory)

• Anti-IL-6R treatment is clinically validated with (Ro)Actemra®; ALX-0061 falls within

the anti-IL-6R drug class

• AbbVie is committed to various drugs with differents MOAs (transcript Q1 2015

conf call): “Behind HUMIRA we have a rich pipeline of mid- and late-stage immunology

assets in clinical development. We're also working to advance several other mid-stage

immunology programs, including ABT-122 (our anti-IL-17 TNF combination) and an anti-IL-6

antibody, among others. All of our R&D efforts are focused on advancing the standard of care

in each of our areas of immunology leadership.”

ALX-0761

• ALX-0761 blocks both IL-17A and IL-17F (involved in

inflammation); binds HAS for improved PK

• Targeting both IL-17A and IL-17F could be more effective

in blocking the inflammatory response

– IL-17F forms homodimer and heterodimers with IL-17A

– IL-17F exerts similar in vitro biological activity as IL-17A but is

secreted by different cell types

• Developed by Merck Serono

– completed Phase I SAD study in healthy volunteers

– ongoing Phase Ib study in patients with psoriasis (results

expected in 2015)

• Secukinumab (Novartis) most advanced anti-IL-17A in

development (registration phase) with estimated peak

sales of ~$500M*

Unmet need in psoriasis

Rationale for targeting IL-17-Th17

64 Source: Nature Biotechnology, Jan 2015; Hilary Bartlett & Ryan Million, Nature Reviews, Drug Discovery, Jan 2015

• IL-17A and TNFα are pro-inflammatory cytokines, produced by lineages of TH1 and TH17 cells, which are found in

blood and skin lesions of people with psoriasis

• ~50% of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis receive only topical or no treatment at all and >50% of

patients dissatisfied with current treatments

• Novartis’ Cosentyx (secukinumab) will be the first anti-IL-17A therapeutic on the market (2015 expected)

• Research suggests that IL-17A(F) blockers maybe more efficacious than anti-TNFα drugs for the treatment of

psoriasis
