About Erytech

Erytech Pharma SA is a late-stage French biopharmaceutical company developing medicinal products for orphan oncology and rare diseases. The company’s proprietary core technology is based on the use of human red blood cells (RBCs) to improve the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of therapeutic molecules. Its lead product, GRASPA® is in pivotal Phase 11/11I clinical trial for ALL and will enter a Phase IIb trial in AML in Europe. The product holds orphan designation in Europe and the US for ALL.

The company is expanding the use of its technology in oncology to Acute Myeloid Leukemia and solid tumors, and outside oncology in rare immunology and haematology indications.

About Orphan Europe

Orphan Europe was founded in 1990 and acquired by Recordati in 2007. For the past two decades Orphan Europe has developed and marketed orphan drugs for patients with rare diseases. In 2000 orphan drugs were defined by the European Drug Regulation as a treatment for a life-threatening or chronically debilitating condition affecting no more than five in 10,000 persons. The parameters involved in the development of an orphan drug are very different to the development of conventional drugs, for example there is a limited number of patients and a scarcity of expertise. Therefore Orphan Europe’s approach is based on combined efforts between the company, patients and the medical community with the overall aim to improve the life of affected persons. Orphan Europe has also built the Orphan Europe Academy with the aim to further the understanding of rare diseases and provide a forum for sharing knowledge and developing new ideas.

About Recordati

Recordati, established in 1926, is a European pharmaceutical group, listed on the Italian Stock Exchange (Reuters RECI.MI, Bloomberg REC 1M, ISIN IT 0003828271), with a total staff of over 3,200, dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals. Headquartered in Milan, Italy, Recordati has operations in the main European countries, in Central and Eastern Europe, and in Turkey. A field force of around 1,700 medical representatives promotes a wide range of innovative pharmaceuticals, both proprietary and under license, in a number of therapeutic areas including a specialized business dedicated to treatments for rare diseases. Recordati is a partner of choice for new product licenses from companies which do not have a European presence. Recordati is committed to the research and development of new drug entities within the cardiovascular and urogenital therapeutic areas and of treatments for rare diseases. Consolidated revenue for 2011 was € 762.0 million, operating income was € 163.5 million and net income was € 116.4 million.

NEWS RELEASE

RECORDATI LICENSES GRASPA® FROM ERYTECH IN EUROPE

Milan, xx xxxxx 2012 — Recordati announces that its subsidiary Orphan Europe and Erytech Pharma, a late development stage French biopharmaceutical company focused on orphan oncology and rare diseases, have entered into an agreement granting Orphan Europe the exclusive rights for the commercialization and distribution of Graspa® for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Europe. Graspa®, human erythrocytes encapsulating L-asparaginase, for the treatment of hematological malignancies, is currently in pivotal Phase II/III clinical trial for ALL and will enter a Phase IIb trial in AML in Europe. The product has obtained an orphan drug designation in Europe and the USA for ALL.

Graspa® is a new formulation of L-asparaginase with a safer and broader range of clinical use than existing forms due to the entrapment and protection of the enzyme inside homologous red blood cells. The added value of Graspa® (by encapsulating L-asparaginase in red blood cells) relates to its ability to overcome existing limitations associated with conventional L-asparaginase via longer efficacy, better compliance, reduced doses and a better safety profile. Graspa® is intended to satisfy the unmet medical needs of frail patients, patients suffering relapses and other patient groups for whom the current treatments are not suitable.

Marco Liguori CEO of Orphan Europe is delighted with this new partnership “The Orphan Europe team has considerable experience in the orphan drug field and the special requirements of rare diseases. We are committed and prepared to ensure that these treatments become available for patients in Europe rapidly”.

“We are very pleased to announce this agreement with Orphan Europe (Recordati Group)” said Pierre-Olivier Goineau, Chief Executive Officer of Erytech. “We believe we have found a partner that is uniquely positioned to ensure market access and commercial success of our lead product in ALL, and to advance the product in AML. Erytech will manufacture the product. This agreement is a major milestone for Erytech, and a clear recognition of the potential of our technology. It will allow us to focus on our developments in the US in solid tumors and in other rare disease indications”.

In 2000 orphan drugs were defined by the European Drug Regulation as a treatment for a life-threatening or chronically debilitating condition affecting no more than five in 10,000 persons. The parameters involved in the development of an orphan drug are very different from the development of conventional drugs, for example there is a limited number of patients and a scarcity of expertise. Therefore Orphan Europe’s approach is based on combined efforts between the company, patients and the medical community with the overall aim to improve the life of affected persons.

This letter is to serve as second amendment to the Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) and all defined (capitalized) terms used herein shall have the same meaning as those set out in the Agreement, unless expressly otherwise provided herein.

Following discussions during the Joint Steering Committee held between January and July 2014 and the positive feedback of the CPP (Comité pour la Protection des Personnes) and ANSM (L’Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des produits de santé) on a new amendment to GRASPALL 2009-06 Study Protocol (as incorporated via PDF format in Schedule 5.1 to the Agreement), we hereby set forth the terms and conditions already discussed by the Parties in order to further amend the GRASPALL 2009-06 Study Protocol (GRASPALL2009-06_V3_100428_FR) dated 28 April 2010 attached to the Agreement (the “Protocol”), pursuant to Section 20.1 of the Agreement.

 

  1. Understanding and background

Reference is made to Schedule 5.1 of the Agreement which set out, amongst others, the ongoing and envisaged clinical trials for ALL Indication according to the Protocol. Following the execution of the Agreement the Protocol was modified by the document named Amendment 2 dated 24/04/2013 hereto attached (“Protocol Amendment 2”):

On 4 August 2014 the CPP and the ANSM accepted the content and terms of the document dated 02/07/2014 submitted by ERYTECH Pharma as proposed third amendment to the Protocol and hereto attached (the “Protocol Amendment 3”).

Therefore, the Parties hereby acknowledge that the Protocol and, consequently, the Agreement were amended by adding Protocol Amendment 2 to the Protocol and, further, agree to hereby amend the Protocol by adding Protocol Amendment 3 to the Protocol in the form and content attached to this Second Amendment.
