Breakthrough Opportunities in Retinal Disease and Cancer

William L. Greene, MDChief Executive Officer

Ophthalmology Innovation Summit

Snapshot

Tissue Factor: central to pathophysiology of retinal disease and cancer

– Targeting an “undrugged” pathway

– Leveraging advances in Tissue Factor biology, new scientific understandings

Addressing significant therapeutic needs in large markets

– Wet AMD: critical need for disease modifying agents

– Cancer: opportunity to treat tumor, vasculature, and microenvironment with a single targeted agent

Lead clinical candidate in Phase 2a for wet AMD

Expanding portfolio of development programs

– Ocular Melanoma, IND 1H 2016

Positioned for success

– World-class management team, advisors, Board

– Strong financial position and IP

Therapeutic Target: Tissue Factor (TF)

Human protein important in health and disease

– Key role in regulation of coagulation, inflammation

– Overexpression: drives pathologic angiogenesis and inflammation; increases metastatic potential, promotes escape from immune surveillance

– Historically difficult to target due to coagulation concerns

ICON-1: First-in-class human immunoconjugatefusion protein

– Engineered to safely bind TF by replacing its natural ligand without significant effect on coagulation function

– Acts similar to a therapeutic mAb

ICON-1 for Wet AMD: Preclinical Data

A. Micrograph of control lesion: CNV growth prominent

6

B. Micrograph of a lesion treated with mI-con1 (mouse version of ICON-1): little evidence of CNV

Bora et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci 2003.

• Murine models: prevention and regression of CNV after single dose

• Porcine model: dose response observed

• Excellent safety profile

Wet AMD Mouse Model

ICON-1 for Wet AMD: Phase 1 Study

First in human single dose trial: focused on safety

– Broad inclusion criteria; 9/18 subjects newly diagnosed

– 3 dose groups: 0.06 mg, 0.15 mg or 0.30 mg

Safety: no ocular or systemic safety issues; no immunogenicity seen

Signals of potential dose-related biologic activity

– Visual acuity increases, reduced retinal fluid, reduced leakage on angiograms

ICON-1 for Ocular Melanoma

Broadly applicable cancer mechanism

– TF widely expressed on tumor cells, tumor vasculature, and in microenvironment

– Marker for aggressive tumor growth, poor prognosis; central to process of metastasis

TF overexpressed in cutaneous and ocular melanoma

Positive ICON-1 data in xenograft (cutaneous) melanoma model

Plan: initiate IND in OM 1H 2016

Ongoing research in other solid tumors
