reimbursement activities at both CCG and Formulary levels

– German launch is imminent and attractive pricing of €64/pack achieved without HTA review,

further supporting high value proposition of Feraccru for stakeholders

– Licensing: actively pursuing discussions in a number of non-core markets

• Feraccru’s further clinical development progressing as plan in both phase 3 studies

• Significant value enhancement achieved through granting of composition of matter patent

• Financial performance in line with expectations

• Identifying opportunities that would more rapidly build a presence/revenues in key

Oral Iron Tolerant

Able to take oral ferrous iron products (OFP)

Many patients are intolerant of OFP, especially those with other diseases (e.g. IBD, CKD)

Intravenous Iron (IV)

Simple oral administration

Efficient absorption

Rapid IV-like effect

Placebo-like safety

More cost effective

Iron directly into the blood But:

– Allergic reactions– Iron overload– Hospital only– Resuscitation team required– High overall cost

No patients in long term study of Feraccru required interventional IV therapy

• IDA arises in diseases like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (“IBD”), Chronic Kidney Disease (“CKD”), Congestive Heart Failure (“CHF”) and in women with excessive uterine bleeding etc.

• Failure to treat leads to lethargy as well as much more serious consequences (e.g. immune & heart complications)

Feraccru overview A compelling alternative to IV iron

Fe2+

Fe2+

Insoluble complexes + Radicals

Gut damage side effects

Fe3+ cannot be oxidised – no radicals

Iron remains soluble

Duration of treatment (weeks)Feraccru Placebo

• Phase III study in 128 patients

• A clinically relevant haemoglobin (Hb) increase isconsidered to be 1g/dL

– Feraccru delivered highly relevant and rapid 2.3g/dLrise inside 12 weeks with 1g/dL in only 4 weeks

P < 0.0001

By wk-12 mean Hb of the treated group had normalised

Long term compliance levels of 97%

With chronic therapy patients’ anaemia did not recurand iron indices continued to improve

Ongoing Feraccru therapy may prevent need for IV iron

Majority of adverse events were related to IBD status

Feraccru-treated patients had fewer adverse events thanplacebo-treated patients

Neither short or long-term Feraccru therapy lead to ironoverload

Feraccru: Pricing StrategyPrice at IV iron levels; health system saves administration cost

Payer research is supportive of Feraccru’s positioning at a price broadly comparable with Ferinject (IV) drug pricing, with significant overall savings to the payers after taking account of total cost

In addition to the drug cost for IV iron there are additional costs associated with administration

– requires hospital administration due to risk of anaphylaxis

Payers have recognised the significant cost of administration

– evidenced by high approved prices for Ferinject vs Venofer

PT20 pivotal phase IIb study

Results

• Primary endpoint met with a p value of <0.001

• All 4 doses reduced serum phosphate levels

• Data suggests possibility of reduced pill burden in

phase III and of aggressively dosing resistant

patients

• Ferritin score (measurement of iron status) after 2

weeks of IV iron withdrawal suggests PT20 positively

impacts iron levels as well as binding phosphate

– will need to be explored further in phase III

study using suitable endpoints

– if confirmed, will provide additional USP for

PT20 launch

Design

• Conducted in 20 US dialysis centres

• Randomised study of 4 fixed dose levels of PT20 and

placebo

• 153 randomised subjects, study powered >90%

• New entrants have achieved broadly comparable pricing to market leading products

• Price will likely play a role in the uptake of PT20 given increasing genericisation of older products

PT40 presents an attractive near-term partnering opportunity

Market opportunity

• >£220m Venofer sales in US & Europe1

• FDA has attempted to fast-track the development of generics by issuing Guidance on the studies necessary to register an iron sucrose in America

• No generic Venofer is available, there are iron sucrose similars in some European and Indo-Asian markets, but not recognised as true generics

The challenge

• Ill-defined nature of Venofer’s amorphous iron core and its complex organic shell

• Failure to replicate these precisely results in divergent physicochemical behaviour and consequently disparate clinical profile

• Interactions with FDA have confirmed what would be necessary to seek an ANDA for PT40

1 IMS data 2012

Front left and centre, commercial Venofer® solutions; front right, MRC batch (fully processed/formulated)

PT40

• The Medical Research Council’s Biomineral Research (BMR) group are experts in the synthesis of nanoparticulate iron oxides

• BMR have developed proprietary in-house assays to characterise Venofer’s complex

• Coupling these techniques with a sequential synthetic approach has led to a highly scaleable and tuneable process suitable for manufacturing a genuine iron sucrose generic to target the US market
