PB2452 Reversal Agent for Ticagrelor CONFIDENTIAL


 
PB2452 PB2452: Novel Reversal Agent for Brilinta (Ticagrelor) • Within the P2Y12 antagonist class of oral antiplatelet therapies, ticagrelor has proven superiority vs. clopidogrel, and a unique reversible binding profile - Clopidogrel and prasugrel, the other members of the oral P2Y12 antagonist class, both permanently bind to the receptor and cannot be reversed • PB2452 is the only specific reversal agent in development for ticagrelor - PB2452 clinical data to date have demonstrated both immediate (<5 min) and sustained (~24 hours) reversal of ticagrelor antiplatelet effects • Approval would differentiate ticagrelor on safety vs. other oral antiplatelet agents - Expect further differentiation of ticagrelor vs. other P2Y12 agents to drive increased demand Significant unmet need for antiplatelet agent reversal MAJOR BLEEDING URGENT SURGERY OR INTERVENTION • Intracranial Haemorrhage (ICH), GI, Trauma • Currently oral P2Y12 agents, including ticagrelor, require a 5-day washout prior to surgery1,2 • All oral antiplatelet agents have the potential to cause major - Urgent surgery often cannot wait 5 day bleeding, which can be severe or even fatal - Higher thrombotic risk during washout • PB2452 designed to immediately and sustainably reverse the • In Phase 1 and Phase 2a studies, PB2452 observed to antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor immediately and sustainably reverse ticagrelor inhibition of platelet activation - Enables immediate surgery 1.

PB2452 PB2452: Well-Characterized Mechanism of Reversal of Ticagrelor 1. ADP binds to P2Y12 3. PB2452 binds to free ticagrelor 5. As free ticagrelor is eliminated, ADP can again receptor causing with very high affinity activate the P2Y12 receptor, restoring platelet platelet aggregation activity This is a reversible process with ticagrelor cycling on/off the P2Y12 receptors PB2452-ticagrelor binding is preferential to Ticagrelor binds to P2Y , inhibiting 12 ticagrelor-P2Y12 binding due to 100x higher ADP-induced platelet aggregation PB2452-ticagrelor is cleared from the bloodstream 2. 4. affinity (Ki 20 pM vs 2nM) 6.

PB6440 Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitor for Resistant Hypertension


 
PB6440 PB6440 for Resistant Hypertension • Upwards of 10 million patients in the United States have resistant hypertension and are at risk for serious, costly medical consequences (stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, etc.)1 • Physicians currently prescribe numerous combinations of antihypertensives to lower blood pressure and diminish risk • Blocking aldosterone has been shown to be an effective mechanism for treating resistant hypertension - Currently available aldosterone blockers suffer from poor potency and pharmacokinetics (eplerenone) or poor tolerability (spironolactone) and thus are rarely used • Recent draft guidance from the FDA outlines a streamlined regulatory path for novel drugs to treat resistant hypertension without the need for large outcomes studies2 • Market research indicates that payors aware of high medical costs associated with resistant hypertension Large, growing patient population, coupled with a high unmet need, creates an attractive opportunity for a novel therapy to help patients and care-providers better manage blood pressure 1.
