Journey towards FOP treatment
Stéphanie HoffmannVice-‐President, General Manager EUMEA
CORD Rare Disease Day conference, Vancouver, 30-‐31 March 2017
Our goal is to ensure that every FOP patient who needs palovarotene has access to it
u Parallel development tracks to accomplish our goal:
1. Palovarotene clinical development program for FOP aiming at obtaining relevant regulatory approvals
2. Development of robust commercial infrastructure capable of supplying palovarotene throughout the world which meets the various national requirements
3. Collaborate with the FOP community to ensure access to palovarotenefor all FOP patients in medical need

FOP Narrative Project: Objectives & Methodology
Objectives u Understand where/when FOP patients intersect local healthsystems u Anticipate if/how healthsystems would adapt to innovations in FOP treatment
u 2-‐4 year project in which learnings from each stage could be integrated into the next

Interviews with patients
Interviews with FOP savvy physicians
Surveys with FOP naïve physicians
FOP Narrative Project: Timeline
u 71 affected individuals from 14 countries have been interviewed§ Recruitment via the national patient organization leaders
u 39 ‘FOP savvy’ physicians from 15 countries have been interviewed § Recruitment via the national patient organization leaders, via FOP medical experts and at international medical conferences
u 305 US physicians ‘naive to FOP’ have been surveyed

Long-‐term Mgmt
FOP Tx
Ø Delayed by multiple referrals; risk of iatrogenic harm
Ø Starts with primary care; referrals influenced by presentation; many specialties involved
Ø Accelerated by educated parents
Ø Primarily performed in university hospitals by a pluridisciplinary team, with a key role of the geneticist
Ø Genotyping is not common practice in all countries; technology not widely available & cost barrier
Ø Lack of local awareness & expertiseØ Most patients in contact with F. Kaplan/PennØ Challenging transition pediatric to adult careØ Bone specialists & geneticists most likely
managing physicians – in tandem with GP’sØ Overall good coverage for health services;
country/ regional differences with regards to supportive tool coverage
Ø High interest of medical community in developing FOP Tx
Ø Bone specialists & geneticists most likely prescribers
Ø Prescription authorization most likely limited to selected experts or specialties in EU & ROW

FOP Narrative Project: Conclusions
u This project is confirming our hypothesis§ Health systems tend to be indifferent about ultra-‐rare diseases until an innovation in treatment
u This project is informing our planning§ Identifies key challenges & opportunities along the diagnosis and treatment pathway of FOP patients around the world
§ Guides us in defining priority planning initiatives: - FOP awareness & education, - Support of FOP healthcare infrastructure development
u We feel responsible and committed to facilitate access § In close collaboration with medical & patient communities
