IP STRATEGY
Xeris’ strategy as a platform company is to patent early and often to continue to strengthen our position in the non-aqueous formulation space. Castle/moat approach has led to numerous filings both at the platform and product levels.
PATENT COUNT
• 109 total patents globally, of which 13 are U.S. issued
• 68 patent applications pending globally, of which 13 are pending in the U.S.

− Same benefits of pramlintide co-administration with insulin
• Reduction in HbA1c
• Reduced meal-time insulin dose requirement
• Increased time in glycemic range, improved post-prandial glucose control
• Increased weight loss
− Potential improved patient-reported outcomes
• Program Assumptions
− BLA pathway
− Phase 3 pivotal clinical program anticipated
