PUR1900 Addressing Pulmonary Fungal Infections in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis and Severe Asthma


Slide 17

PUR1900: Inhaled Antifungal for CF Indication Overview CF is a fatal genetic disease of the lungs/GI tract that affects 70K patients WW; median survival of patients is 39.3 years1. Patient populations suffer from copious, static mucus leaving patients susceptible to fungal infections caused by fungal spore inhalation As patient survival improves, probability of fungal infection increases Product Overview Inhaled formulation of itraconazole (ITRA) to treat pulmonary fungal infections granted FDA orphan drug status in August 2016 and QIDP status in January 2017 Oral ITRA is first line therapy to treat Aspergillus infection with significant systemic side effects and subthreshold therapeutic levels in lung Superior PK profile when delivered by inhalation PUR1900 offers multiple promising advantages over current oral therapy High drug concentration at the site of infection Initial indications suggest improved safety and tolerability profile with potential for improved efficacy https://www.cff.org Denning et al.

PUR1900: Fungal Infections in Cystic Fibrosis Source: Chotirmall. Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2014;1(52):161 Moss. Semin Respir Crit Care Med. 2015;36(2):207 Physician Interviews; ClearView Analysis. A combination of the host’s underlying immune state as well as pathogen-driven factors ultimately determine the prevalence and overall clinical implications of fungal infections Disease Pathophysiology Disease Overview Healthy Diseased Description Patho-physiology Signs and Symptoms Impaired mucociliary clearance assists entrapment and growth Fungal colonization can lead to inflammation and airway remodeling Common symptoms include increased exacerbations and worsening lung function Misdiagnosis can lead to prolonged illness Two types of fungal infections in cystic fibrosis Aspergillus bronchitis (AB) Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)


Slide 19

PUR1900: Disease Prevalence of Fungal Infections in CF AB: Aspergillus bronchitis. ABPA: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. % % % % % % Percent of All U.S. CF Patients Overview of Disease Prevalence by Key Patient Segment ABPA Aspergillus Bronchitis c Aspergillus Bronchitis Two recent studies from the UK estimated the prevalence of AB in CF patients to be about 30%, suggesting about ~9 K AB patients in the US. However, physicians have consistently reported that AB patients represent about 20% of the CF population ABPA Published data typically cite the ABPA population to be between 5 and 18% of the broader CF population However, KOLs suggested that 15% represents a more accurate estimate of ABPA prevalence in the CF population Sources: Baxter.

Slide 20

Patient Referral Pathway Infectious Disease Specialist Pulmonologist Key Diagnostic Tools Clinical Presentation Wheezing, bloody sputum, shortness of breath, and overall deteriorating lung function are common manifestations In select instances, infectious disease specialists are consulted when clinical symptomology or serological findings are consistent with abnormal and / or aggressive pathogens Sputum Sample Sputum cultures support a diagnosis of Aspergillus colonization - PCR and genotyping are seeing increased utilization Imaging Longitudinal imaging studies may inform the degree of fungi-associated inflammation and overall airway deterioration Immunological Markers Used to differentiate clinical phenotypes. IgE and IgG antibodies are often elevated in ABPA and Aspergillus bronchitis, respectively PUR1900: Treating CF Patients with Fungal Infections


Slide 21

Relieves high treatment burden of oral antifungal therapy and improve outcomes Inhalation delivery provides improved safety and (likely superior) efficacy at a much lower total dose of drug Targeted delivery achieves high therapeutic dose directly to the site of infection avoiding GI/systemic exposure PUR1900: Inhaled Itraconazole Itraconazole Inhibits Fungal Cell Wall Synthesis Commonly used to treat Aspergillus related illness Superior PK profile when delivered by inhalation Well understood mechanism of action Why Itraconazole: PUR1900 Anticipated Advantages vs. Oral Antifungals:

PUR1900 Achieves High Lung and Low Plasma Exposure Once daily aerosol dosing of PUR1900 achieves 3x lung concentration over oral dosing at 25% the dose in pre-clinical evaluation Significantly lower systemic exposure with PUR1900 after both single and repeat doses Low level of systemic accumulation with PUR1900 relative to oral dosing PUR1900 Sporanox

Superior Efficacy Compared to Oral Treatment of Immunosuppressed Guinea Pigs Treatment with PUR1900 beginning one day after infection provides greater protection than oral dosing


Slide 24

PUR1900: Cystic Fibrosis Product Profile Physicians highlighted that ~85% of treated AB patients would likely be prescribed an inhaled antifungal, largely due to current dissatisfaction with available agents Source: Physician Interviews; ClearView Analysis. ABPA: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. AB: Aspergillus bronchitis. Physicians estimated that ~80% and ~90% of treated ABPA and Aspergillus bronchitis patients would receive PUR1900, respectively. ~75% ~80% Of the treated ABPA patients, physicians suggested that ~80% would receive an inhaled antifungal Driven by increased physician willingness to utilize an inhaled antifungal in combination with steroids as first-line therapy given PUR1900’s favorable profile Key Details ABPA Aspergillus Bronchitis Segment Product Uptake Treated ABPA Population Diagnosed ABPA Population PUR1900 Utilization ~75% ~85% 65% Treated AB Population Diagnosed AB Population PUR1900 Utilization


Slide 25

PUR1900: Product Profile Feedback Source: Physician Interviews ClearView Analysis. Profile Element Safety and Tolerability Dosing and ROA “If anything, I would anticipate that itraconazole delivered directly into the lungs will result in better patient outcomes compared to oral azoles.” “This ROA makes sense to me given the nature of the disease, and would motivate me to use this product as the preferred antifungal.” Physician Perspective Physicians viewed the safety and tolerability profile to be favorable and a key driver of overall enthusiasm Physicians, often highlighted that the direct delivery to lung tissue is superior to current SOC Key Insights Favorability Physician Reaction to Key Profile Attributes Key: ABPA FEV1 ABPA Steroid Sparing Aspergillus Bronchitis FEV1 Primary and Secondary Endpoints “No matter what the primary endpoint is, I’m willing to use a novel antifungal as long as it is approved by the FDA and provides clinical benefit.” Physicians noted both FEV1 and steroid-sparing as clinically relevant primary endpoints Low High Mod Low High Mod High Low Mod SOC: Standard of Care ROA: Route of Administration


Slide 26

PUR1900: U.S. Payer Reaction Payers expressed enthusiasm for PUR1900, highlighting that an inhaled antifungal addresses a key unmet medical need in cystic fibrosis. Source: Payer Interviews; ClearView Analysis. “I like the product. Seems like a TOBI but for fungal infections. This would be great for patients.” Key Drivers of Payer Enthusiasm Direct Delivery to the Lungs “I like that the drug is inhaled, this should directly attack the fungal infection.” Payers noted direct delivery to the lungs as superior to systemic therapies (i.e., azoles) “I would suspect product X is safer than things like oral itraconazole.” Superior Safety Profile Compared to Oral Azoles Respondents frequently cited the side-effects associated with oral azoles. “We have TOBI, and patients could use a comparable product for fungal infections.” Addresses Unmet Medical Need Payers highlighted that PUR1900 addresses an unmet medical need in CF
