    “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or the negative of

    these words and phrases or other variations of these words and phrases or comparable terminology. All statements other than

    statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements involve substantial

    known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or

    achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These

    forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future events as we cannot assure you that the events or

    circumstances reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur. Actual results or events could differ materially from the

    plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements that we make due to a number of important factors,

    including those risks discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December

    31, 2018 and our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements in this

    presentation represent our views as of the date of this presentation. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will

    cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future,

    we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these

    forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation.

    This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size

    and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give

    undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future

    performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

  • microRNAs have been evolutionarily selected to regulate networks of genes

    microRNAs are dysregulated in many diseases

    Dysregulation of microRNAs is associated with alteration of downstream gene networks and disease

    microRNA-targeted therapy is focused on disease modification by restoring homeostasis to dysregulated processes

    microRNA therapeutics may be particularly suited for complex, multigenic disorders

  • Opportunities and Challenges for miRNA Therapeutics

    Many diseases are multigenic, complex disorders.

    Modulation of miRNAs may offer multiple opportunities

    to intervene in disease-relevant pathways

    miRNAs are homeostatic and therefore miRNA

    therapeutics do not appear to adversely affect normal

    tissues/systems

    miRNA therapeutics can be administered without

    exotic formulations, thereby potentially improving their

    safety profile

    6

    Safety of formulated miRNA therapeutics has been

    poor to date.

    • Safety concerns may be mitigated with unique

    chemistry and delivery approaches

    PD biomarker identification efforts are required to

    identify genes and networks affected by a miRNA

    therapeutic

    • Identification of translatable PD biomarkers

    • Proving selectivity for disease specific

    pathways and not normal physiology

    • Exclude candidate molecules that affect off-

    target biomarkers/gene signatures

    Translatability from cells → animal models →

    patients

    • Need to demonstrate proof of concept early in

    clinical trials

    Overcoming Challenges in Development of

    miRNA Therapeutics

  • miRagen has developed miRNA inhibitors that to date have better safety profile than other miRNA inhibitors and many other oligonucleotide drugs, by addressing: Chemistry

    • LNA/DNA mixmer design appears to blunt acute inflammatory responses, hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity

    • Chemical stabilization allows for long tissue half lives and relatively infrequent dosing

    Delivery• miRNA inhibitors can be delivered without the use of viral vectors, liposomes, or nanoparticle

    formulation, reducing immunogenicity and potential for off-target toxicity

    • Molecules can be developed that are either broadly taken up by cells or that have targeted delivery conjugates

    Relative specificity• Target miRNAs and their regulated gene networks selected for development are dysregulated

    only in disease circumstances, thereby potentially limiting exacerbated pharmacology

    • Therapeutic objective is restoration of homeostasis – miRNA therapeutics modulate but do not obliterate their targets, thereby potentially preventing toxicities associated with a complete repression of target protein expression

  • miRagen believes it has addressed the challenges of identifying PD biomarkers for miRNA inhibitors that result in relatively minor expression changes for many genes simultaneously by: Focusing on miRNAs that are highly evolutionarily conserved and whose target gene

    networks/pathways are biologically relevant to disease

    Identifying the PD biomarker “fingerprint” for each miRNA inhibitor• Assess PD biomarkers in stressed settings that mimic disease

    • Using unbiased screening approaches (e.g. RNAseq) to identify pharmacodynamic targets that are reciprocally regulated by promiRs and antimiRs for the same miRNA

    • Pathway analysis to identify pharmacodynamic targets that are conserved within a network or pathway

    • Utilization of kinetics experiments to identify both direct and indirect downstream targets within the same pathway

    • Identification of lead candidates that are potent, selective

    Select the most disease relevant genes for translation to mechanistic proof of concept studies in early stage clinical trials

  • miRagen believes it has addressed the challenges in the translation going from cells → animal models → patients by: Improving translatability from preclinical to clinical studies

    • Perform research in the most relevant species or disease model

    • Identify the pharmacodynamic “fingerprint” using preclinical studies

    • Validate assays (Nanostring, QRT-PCR, ISH, IHC or other) for translation to the clinic

    Derisking the clinical program by incorporating mechanistic and/or clinical proof-of-concept studies in first-in-human trials:

    • Incorporate mPOC endpoints such as PD biomarker regulation into first in human trials to confirm biological activity in humans

    • Assess disease-relevant endpoints (e.g. CAILS and mSWAT assessments) to address cPOCearly in the clinical program

    • Initially focus on localized delivery (e.g. intradermal administration) and collect target tissue samples to assess compound activity in humans

    • Follow with IV or SC administration to assess safety, efficacy

    • Conduct comparative PK for each route of administration

    Granulation tissue volume reduced early after

    treatment

    No appreciable difference 1 month after injury –

    Delayed kinetics of granulation tissue formation was

    not detrimental to achieving full wound closure or

    appropriate collagen maturation

    α-SMA expression reduced with MRG-110 treatment
