Ulcerative Colitis – a Debilitating Disease with High Unmet Medical Need

“I always need to be close to a toilet, which restricts my life significantly. The worst is to be so socially disabled. I would like to be spontaneous and just live my life without worrying about my stomach and toilet visits”,

Emma, 24 years old suffering from ulcerative colitis

• Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with chronic inflammation of the colonic mucosa leading to ulcers

• Recurrent with active and inactive periods

• Very frequent blood- and mucus-mixed loose stools

• High negative impact on quality of life

Clear Need for Safer and More Efficacious Drugs in Moderate to Severe UC

Colectomy

Biologics

JAK inhibitors

Immunomodulators

Glucocorticosteroids (GCS)

Aminosalicylates

Mesalazine (5-ASA), Sulphasalazine (SP)

Last line

Cobitolimod

Third line

Second line

First line

• Third line therapies have problems with tolerance and severe side effects

• >$5 Bn per year of biologics sales globally in UC alone1

• >200,000 UC patients globally receive treatment with biologics1

Cobitolimod – InDex’s Lead Drug Candidate

• Cobitolimod is a potential new medication for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

• Successful phase IIb study CONDUCT

• 4 previous completed clinical studies support efficacy and safety demonstrated in CONDUCT

• Competitive efficacy

• Excellent safety, very low systemic uptake

• Local treatment, provides rapid onset of action

• Novel mechanism of action (TLR9 agonist)

• Potential for combination therapy

Cobitolimod has high market potential with an outstanding combination of efficacy and safety

Partnership Discussions to Continue in Parallel

22

• Maintain and establish contacts with potential partners

• Compile full business development package

• Scientific communication to maximize impact in scientific community

• Going alone strengthens negotiation position

• Control the timing and circumstances for potential partnerships

• A less extensive phase III program widens the universe of potential partners

• Out-licensing at a later stage of development increases the value of cobitolimod
