DMD COMPARED TO BECKER MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY (BMD)

ANY SHIFT FROM DUCHENNE TOWARDS BMD WOULD REPRESENT A MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE IN PATIENT LIFE SPAN AND QUALITY OF LIFE

BMD is a milder phenotype with a more gradual progression1

The majority of patients with BMD remain ambulant significantly longer than patients living with DMD1

Typically between ages 5-10 as development is slow. Some patients are asymptomatic and diagnosed through abnormally

high CK readings.

Difficulty Walking

Patients can often run into 20’s and may retain ability to walk through majority

Loss of Ambulation

ECKER of life through use of canes. Loss of ambulation typically occurs during 30’s.

SIX MINUTE WALK TEST (6MWT) IS A WELL ESTABLISHED OUTCOME MEASURE

NATURAL HISTORY SHOWS PROGRESSIVE DECLINE IN PATIENTS OLDER THAN 7 YEARS

6MWT is an integrated assessment of cardiac, respiratory, and circulatory functions along with muscular capacity

Natural history studies indicate progressive functional decline in boys over 7 years of age1,2

“Those above the age of 7 years showed a progressive deterioration that was much more marked with each increasing year after baseline” 3

“The sharper progression with each found in our cohort, especially in the older boys >7 suggest that the relatively stable results on these measures over two or three years, as reported in some of these studies, may be related to the beneficial efficacy of the drug as this is not common in untreated boys“3

After general stability on the 6MWT through 120 weeks, similar declines of walking distance were observed from week 120 through week 144 with 61 meter and 63 meter declines in the continuous eteplirsen and delayed eteplirsen treatment groups, respectively

All patients showed declines in walking distance from week 144 to 168, including one patient in each arm that declined by more than 75 meters (highest 6MWT performer in continuous group; lowest 6MWT performer in delayed group)

After 3.2 years of therapy the mean age of the boys in the continuous eteplirsen arm (mITT) was 12.6 years (median age 12.9)

After 168 weeks of continuous eteplirsen treatment the mITT cohort (n=6) walked an average of 323 meters

TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR (TLR) ANTAGONIST PROGRAM: LICENSED IN 2014

SUPPORTS PIPELINE APPROACH BEYOND RARE DISEASE AND OPEN TO PARTNERSHIPS

Sarepta has proprietary rights to AONs that antagonize TLR 7/8/9 with a high degree of activity compared to potentially competing AONs

Research program initiated in Lupus and GvHD

Provides Sarepta targets in multiple other disease states

TLR program may be applicable in a number of conditions that involve an innate immune response or a Th1-like immune response

TLR program can be used in the prevention of autoimmune disorders, an airway inflammation, inflammatory disorders, infectious diseases, skin disorders(e.g. psoriasis), allergy, and asthma

TLR signaling has also been linked to neurogenesis and was found to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and could be used to prevent or treat neurodegenerative diseases

IP position established based on novel AONs; long lifecycle potential

PPMO RESTORES ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY IN RESISTANT STRAINS AND INHIBITS BIOFILM PRODUCTION (2 UNIQUE POC APPROACHES CONFIRMED)

OPPORTUNITY TO CAPITALIZE ON EMERGING ANTIBACTERIAL DATA

Sarepta is focused on infections of highest medical need and large hospital-based opportunities

Six programs identified and underway

NDM-1 PPMO’s can be used in combination with carbapenem to kill carbapenem-resistant bacterial pathogens

This is a new strategy to combat pathogens that express NDM-1

PPMO’s that target the cepl and acpP genes of Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 were able to both prevent biofilm formation and breakdown existing biofilm

Broad commercial applicability

Opportunities for partnerships

Colistin, Meropenem, and Tobramycin susceptibility restored with co-administration of PPMO in A.Baumannii3

PPMO inhibits bacterial biofilm production and kills organism4
