The Comeback of Anti-infectives

1. Microbes are resilient: pathogens – viruses, bacteria or fungi – were here

billions of years before us and they are not going away

2. They are adaptable: becoming resistant to our current antimicrobial agents 3. They are innovative: focus is on COVID-19 now, but other pathogens are

emerging

  • Candida auris, a deadly fungi identified in 2009 in Japan is spreading across

the world and in the United States

  • The mission of anti-infective companies is critical
  • Potential increase in value recognition for innovative anti-infective research

– by both the public and the government COVID-19 pandemic is a powerful reminder of our never-ending warfare against infectious diseases

Fungal Infections: A Growing Public Health Threat

1. The Clinical Problems – In the Hospital: rising Invasive Fungal Infections with high mortality, much higher than Coronavirus. COVID-19 associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis reported in several centers – In the Community: difficult-to-treat Vaginal Fungal Infections in millions of women 2. The Medical Needs – In the Hospital: few systemic drugs available (3 classes available with only one oral class) – In the Community: only one oral treatment

  • ption available for vaginal yeast infections

3. The Emerging Concerns – Antifungal resistance and appearance of new alarming fungal species – Lack of broad-spectrum oral treatments

submission in H2:2020

  • 2. CANDLE-304 (Phase 3 in rVVC patients): Enrollment ongoing
  • 3. Hospital programs*: Enrollment ongoing
  • For our ongoing programs, we have implemented several adjustments

– Our plans are consistent with the newly issued FDA and EMA guidance

  • n conduct of clinical trials during COVID-19 pandemic

* Includes FURI and CARES Phase 3 studies in refractory invasive fungal infection patients, and SCYNERGIA Phase 2 study in Invasive Aspergillosis patients. Ibrexafungerp is an investigational drug.

As of today, we don’t believe the COVID-19 pandemic will have substantial impact on our programs and our clinical and regulatory timelines remain unchanged

VANISH Phase 3 Program

Key Design

  • Two identical Phase 3 Studies in vulvovaginal

candidiasis (VVC)

– VANISH-303 in 371 patients (28 centers in U.S.) – VANISH-306 in 449 patients (42 centers in U.S. and Europe)

  • Randomized, placebo-controlled (2:1 ratio),

double-blind design

  • Patients enrolled with VVC episode ranging

from mild to severe

  • Convenient one-day treatment of 600mg

– Administered as two doses of 300mg, 12 hours apart

  • Primary efficacy population: Modified-intent-

to-treat (mITT)

– Treated patients with positive Candida vaginal culture at baseline

  • Safety Population: all treated patients

Key Assessments

  • Two study visits

– “Test-of-Cure” visit (TOC) at Day 10 – “Follow-Up” visit (FU) at Day 25

  • Signs and Symptoms [S&S*] score is a

composite scale ranging from 0 (no S&S) to 18 points (maximum severity in all S&S)

  • Primary efficacy endpoint

– Clinical Cure at TOC: complete resolution of all signs and symptoms (S&S=0)

  • Key secondary efficacy endpoints

– Mycological Eradication at TOC visit: negative Candida culture – Clinical Improvement at TOC visit: complete or almost complete resolution of signs and symptoms (S&S of 0 or 1) – Complete resolution of symptoms at FU visit

* Signs and Symptoms [S&S] score defined as a composite endpoint of the subject’s reported symptoms (burning, itching and irritation) and the investigator’s assessed signs (swelling, redness and excoriations). Each sign and symptom can be absent, mild, moderate or severe, with a corresponding score from 0 to 3. The total composite scale goes from 0 to 18 points.

FURI Study: Design/Demographics

  • Phase 3: open-label, orally-administered

ibrexafungerp (IBX)

  • Subjects: demonstrated invasive or severe

mucocutaneous Candida infections:

– Refractory to SoC antifungal agents, – Intolerant to to SoC antifungal agents, or – Other oral antifungal options are not adequate for continued therapy after initial IV standard

  • f care antifungal
  • Sites: US, Germany, UK, Spain, Austria,

Netherlands

  • Dosing: Loading dose of oral IBX 750mg

twice a day x 2 days, followed by oral IBX 750mg QD

  • Duration: 90 days maximum therapy

– Patients requiring more than 90 days were enrolled in an expanded access program

Ibrexafungerp vs. C. auris – CARES Study

  • In vitro Evidence

– CDC study against 100 C. auris strains

  • Echinocandin-resistant isolates susceptible to ibrexafungerp
  • No significant differences in MIC values between strains

indicating that genetic diversity does not influence activity

– CASE Western Study in 16 C. auris strains

  • In vivo Evidence

– 2 animal models of C. auris infections confirmed activity

  • Clinical Evidence

– Phase 3 CARES study ongoing – First reported patients responded successfully to

  • ral ibrexafungerp
  • C. auris before Ibrexa
  • C. auris after Ibrexa

Ibrexafungerp vs. Invasive Aspergillosis (IA)

Ongoing enrollment in Phase 2 Oral study (~60 patients)

Ibrexafungerp (”ibrexa” or ”IBX”) is an investigational drug.

Why Oral Ibrexafungerp? High activity vs. azole-resistant Aspergillus High penetration to the lungs Combination therapy may provide improved outcomes

Pre-clinical synergistic activity with azoles Clinical benefit of combination therapy reported in literature

Need for New Treatment Approaches Optimal for combination therapy

Oral Safe and well-tolerated Low risk of DDIs

Emergence of A. fumigatus Resistance Unsatisfactory Clinical Outcomes

Mortality still up to 50% Long treatment durations
