VEN 307: Diltiazem Cream Novel Treatment for Anal Fissures

Anal Fissures: Cause and Management Increased sphincter tone Local ischemia Tear (fissure) in anal canal Cause Severe pain on defecation Treatment Options Control constipation, topical steroids Reduce sphincter tone Compounded t opical drugs: • GTN* • D iltiazem Botox Surgery Sphincters (muscles) Anal fistula Anal Fissure 1.1 million office visits/year † * Rectiv (topical GTN) recently approved by FDA; launched 3/2012 by Aptalis . † Physician Drug & Diagnosis Audit (PDDA), 2010. 4

VEN 307 ( Diltiazem ) Summary 2% Topical Diltiazem Cream Applied Peri - anally TID Mechanism of Action » Topical c alcium channel blocker Relaxes the internal anal sphincter, reducing pain and increasing tissue blood flow Preclinical Safety » Preclinical topical safety with 2% diltiazem twice daily for ninety days Clinical Pharmacology » Topical has < 10% of the systemic exposure as oral dosage but significantly greater effect on sphincter tone (i.e ., blood levels do not predict activity). Low exposure = better tolerability than oral diltiazem Clinical Data » Numerous clinical trials with ~1,200 subjects Infrequent mild adverse events (AE) reported Similar or better reduction in pain, significantly better tolerability than with nitroglycerin (GTN) » First pivotal trial complete: 3 arms, 465 subjects, significant improvement vs placebo, tolerability confirmed » Second PH III ongoing; data expected Q1 - 2014 5

FDA meeting (EOPII/pre - NDA) 8/30/2012: » NDA to include: x Cutaneous sensitivity/irritation and formal PK data (completed) x Short - term tox studies - completed (FDA confirmed acute episodic use – long term tox and clinical studies not required) x 2 pivotal trials x 1 pivotal trial completed in EU 2012 □ Second pivotal trial: design, endpoints etc accepted by FDA; data expected in Q1 - 2014 x CMC: 700Kg lots of drug product in addition to 70Kg lots used in clinical studies 6 NDA submission planned for Q2 - 2014

Formal PK and cutaneous tolerability clinical studies 7 x PK ▪ 1 US site, 12 subjects: sequential dosing of all subjects with diltiazem 2% topical single and multi - dose, and oral to determine PK in AF patients ▪ All PK parameters were as expected and the systemic exposure to diltiazem from topical diltiazem compared to oral diltiazem was confirmed at <10% x Cutaneous tolerability ▪ Sensitization and Irritation studies, 200 and 35 healthy volunteers respectively ▪ Diltiazem 2%, vehicle , saline control, active control (SLS )* ▪ The irritation scores were similar for diltiazem , placebo, and saline, all significantly better than SLS (active control) ▪ There were minimal AEs and no severe or serious AEs ▪ No irritation or sensitization potential with drug product or vehicle (placebo in PH III trials) * Saline solution

First Pivotal Phase III Trial » FDA (Analgesia Division) pre - IND meeting conducted in August 2007 Achieved clarity on primary endpoint: Reduction in pain Confirmed safety database and toxicology requirement » Phase III trial conducted by SLA Pharma (Ex - North America licensor) 3 arms with 155 patients per arm in 31 sites in Europe 2% and 4% diltiazem three times a day (TID) and placebo in 31 sites across Europe Romania (11 centers, 66%), Bulgaria, Spain, UK, Germany and Lithuania 94.6% of subjects completed the 12 - week study Primary outcome: Change from baseline in average of worst anal pain associated with or following defecation at Week 4 on an 11 - point numerical rating scale ( Likert - like scale) Selected secondary outcomes: Change from baseline in average of daily overall anal fissure - related pain at Week 4 Proportion of subjects who have complete healing of anal fissure at Week 8 Change in the Patient’s Global Impression of Improvement (PGI - I) at Week 4 Statistical analysis consistent with Division guidelines re. missing data 8

VEN 307 Life Cycle: » Licensed from SLA P harma for U.S. and Canada in return for single digit royalties and approval milestones » U.S. patent protects IP through February 2018 and with HW extension to August 2019. Possible pediatric extension to Q2 - 2020 (written request process initiated). After expiration, the Company expects generic approval to be difficult due to topical dosage, trade secret protection, re - formulation obstacles and the probable need for clinical study and comparative PK data in AF patients » Have completed technical development of four extended release formulations All patentable with expected protection through 2033 All B.I.D. or O.D. At least one Phase 3 trial with one extended release formulation will be required (if one formulation is acceptable in manometry /PK studies). 12
