Fragile X Syndrome

 

 

~78K U.S. PATIENTS What is Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) June 2022 Zynerba Pharmaceuticals | Advancing Science. Improving Connections. 11 • Leading known cause of inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder • Mutation of the FMR1 gene causes endocannabinoid system (ECS) dysregulation • Easily identified mutation manifests as multiple CGG repeats on FMR1 (full mutation >200 repeats) • Resulting in cognitive, social, and behavioral symptoms • Behavioral Symptoms linked to deficiencies in the ECS WITH FXS EU/UK PATIENTS ~121K

 

 

Poised for Success in FXS June 2022 Zynerba Pharmaceuticals | Advancing Science. Improving Connections. 12 Largest clinical trial ever conducted in children with FXS Extensive safety database Patients on drug for up to five years Statistically significant outcomes in children with complete methylation Lessons Learned from Previous Trials Improve Probability of Success in RECONNECT Pivotal Trial

 

 

Role of FMR1 Methylation in FXS June 2022 Zynerba Pharmaceuticals | Advancing Science. Improving Connections. 13 • FMR1 gene codes for production of FMRP* which is vital to synapse development • Methylation of the FMR1 gene plays a role in determining gene function • When methylation of the FMR1 gene silences the gene, no FMRP is produced: • Systems and processes affected by FMRP become dysregulated • ~60% of FXS patients are believed to be completely methylated • Completely methylated patients are the most severely impacted ~47K U.S. PATIENTS WITH COMPLETE METHYLATION EU/UK PATIENTS ~73K *RNA - binding protein that helps regulate synaptic development and plasticity

Autism Spectrum Disorder

 

 

Rationale for Zygel in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) June 2022 Zynerba Pharmaceuticals | Advancing Science. Improving Connections. 29 • Results from FXS trials suggested spectrum of activity against behaviors also seen in ASD: irritability, social avoidance and anxiety • Studies suggested ASD is linked to disruption of the ECS • Altered anandamide* signaling may contribute to ASD - related social and communication impairments • The ECS modulates many cellular functions and molecular pathways altered in ASD • Cannabidiol may modulate the ECS and improve certain autism - related behaviors WITH ASD U.S. CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS ~1.4M * Anandamide is one of two primary endocannabinoids
