AMEX: AEN

Published Results of Phase II Study

• dnaJP1 appeared to be safe and well-tolerated.

• There was a significant reduction in the percentage of T cells producing the
proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) (p < 0.0007).

• The primary efficacy end point (meeting the American College of Rheumatology
20% improvement criteria at least once on day 112, 140, or 168) showed a
difference between treatment groups (p=0.09) that became significant in post hoc
analysis using generalized estimating equations (p=0.04).

• Differences in clinical responses were also found between treatment groups on
day 140 and at follow up, indicative a durable response following discontinuation
of therapy.
