Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)
6
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) Overview
- Rare genetic developmental disability
- Leading known cause of both inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder
- Symptoms linked to deficiencies in the endocannabinoid (EC) system
- System of neurotransmitters regulates emotional responses, behavioral reactivity to context, social interaction
- Mutation in FMR1 gene on the X chromosome causes dysregulation of the EC system and results in core cognitive, social, and behavioral symptoms of FXS
- CBD modulates EC system
- Increases availability of endocannabinoids (anandamide, 2-AG)
- Affects ~71K people in U.S.
- No approved drugs indicated for FXS
7
Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) Overview
Full Methylation (FMet) of FMR1 Gene is a Biomarker for Disease Impact
- FMR1 gene codes for production of FMRP which is vital to synapse development
- Mutation manifests as multiple repeats of a DNA segment (CGG) in FMR1
- No Fragile X: Segment repeats 5 to 40 times; normal production of FMRP
- Premutation Fragile X: Segment repeats 50 to 200 times; reduced FMRP production
- Full mutation FXS: Segment repeats >200 times; usually causes severely impacted or non-functionalFMR1 and leads to core FXS behaviors
- Methylation of FMR1 also plays a role in determining functionality of the gene
- At ≥90% methylation ("full methylation" or "FMet"), FMR1 is silenced
- No FMRP is produced: Systems and processes affected by FMRP become dysregulated
- Patients with full mutation FXS and full methylation of FMR1 are generally the most severely impacted by the disorder: lower IQ, more impacted behaviors
- ~60% of patients with full mutation FXS are believed to fall into this category

CONNECT-FX: A Pivotal Trial In FXS
- Primary endpoint:
- Change from baseline to end of treatment in ABC-CFXS Social Avoidance subscale
- Key secondary endpoints:
- Change from baseline to end of the treatment in
- ABC-CFXS Irritability subscale score
- ABC-CFXS Socially Unresponsive/Lethargic subscale score
- Improvement in Clinical Global Impression (CGI-I) at end of treatment, anchored to FXS behaviors
- Aligned with FDA's 'Voice of the Patient' Guidance
- Captured qualitative data on clinical relevance of FXS behaviors
Zygel did not statistically significantly separate from placebo on the primary or
key secondary endpoints in the full analysis set

CONNECT-FX: Rationale for Pre-Planned Ad Hoc Analysis
Building on the Scientific Evidence
BackgroundCONNECT-FX
- Methylation of genes is considered to be important in numerous pathological disorders including FXS
- Methylation has been associated with the mechanism of mGluR5 in FXS
- Currently, treatment options are limited for many of these disorders
- The degree of methylation can influence the severity of FXS symptoms
- Pre-plannedanalysis of the most severely impacted patients defined by patients having ≥90% methylation ("full methylation" or "FMet") of the impacted FMR1 gene
- 80% of the patients enrolled in CONNECT-FX were FMet
- Analysis to explore differences in two groups:
- FMet group (n=167)
- Non-FMetgroup (n=42)

CONNECT-FX: Safety
Zygel Was Very Well Tolerated in FXS Patients
- Zygel was very well tolerated
- Safety profile consistent with previously released data from all other Zygel trials
- No safety signal identified
- No serious or severe adverse events reported during the study
- All treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; any event, whether unrelated or related to study drug) were mild or moderate
- Most common treatment-related TEAE: application site pain
- Zygel: 6.4%; placebo: 1.0%
- Seven total psychiatric disorder TEAEs; 5 were in placebo group
- Laboratory values for chemistry and hematology comparable between placebo and Zygel groups; no clinically relevant abnormalities in either group
- No clinically significant changes to liver function tests
21
Next Steps in Fragile X Program
- Discuss CONNECT-FX data and the pathway for submitting a New Drug Application (NDA) with FDA
- Pivotal data to be published and presented at upcoming medical meetings
22
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
in children and adolescents
23
ASD in Pediatrics Overview
- Near-raredisorder affecting ~1MM pediatric and adolescent patients
- Symptoms include
- Irritability
- Anxiety
- Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior
- Impairments in social communication
- Deficits in verbal and non-verbal communication
- Deficits in developing, understanding and maintaining relationships
- Most diagnosed after age 4; can be diagnosed as early as age 2
- Significant unmet medical need
- Accelerating rate of diagnosis but only two FDA approved products
- Both atypical antipsychotics have significant side effect profile
- Neither approved to address the key symptoms of social impairment and anxiety
24
Rationale for Developing Zygel in ASD
- Newer studies suggest ASD is linked to disruption in the EC system
- Altered anandamide signaling may contribute to ASD-related social and communication impairments
- EC system modulates many cellular functions and molecular pathways altered in ASD: imbalanced GABAergic, glutamatergic transmission, oxidative stress, immune dysregulation and altered energy metabolism
- Clinical and anecdotal data demonstrate that children dosed with CBD displayed an improvement in social avoidance and anxiety
- CBD may modulate the EC system and improve certain autism-related behaviors
- Two recent US patents directed to methods of treating ASD by transdermally administering synthetic or purified cannabidiol, respectively, provide IP protection to 2038

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
(22q)
32
22q Overview
- Most common contiguous gene deletion syndrome
- Rare disorder: ~81K patients in US
- Midline condition with abnormalities affecting palate, face, heart and other organs; surgically corrected in infancy
- Neuropsychiatric illnesses (anxiety disorders, ASD) and learning disabilities common and impactful
- 22q associated with increased anxiety, withdrawn behavior and social interaction problems
- Early onset of neuropsychiatric symptoms disrupts development and quality of life, and heightens risk of later psychotic disorders
- 25-foldincreased risk of developing schizophrenia vs. 1% lifetime risk in general population
33
22q Patient Management
- Two primary stages of 22q patient management:
- During infancy, doctors address acute physical concerns, such as anomalies of heart and palate, with surgery
- Once the physical concerns are stabilized, focus shifts to managing neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as anxiety and autistic behaviors
- No currently approved drugs indicated for 22q
34
Rationale for Developing Zygel in 22q
- CBD may treat neuropsychiatric symptoms in 22q due to activity as:
- Modulator of endocannabinoid system
- Agonist at serotonin1A receptors
- Antagonist at GPR55 receptors
- Early control of anxiety may delay the development of psychosis
- Phase 2 study underway in pediatric and adolescent patients with 22q
- Enrollment delayed due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in Australia; topline results timeline to be announced following lifting of restrictions
