not realize the intended benefits of our gene therapy platform,
including the features of our plato platform, the risk that AVROBIO may not realize the intended benefit of Saladax's immunoassay kits and/or Magenta's MGTA-117 with respect to AVROBIO's investigational gene therapies, the risk that our investigational gene therapies or procedures in connection with the administration thereof will not have the safety or efficacy profile that we anticipate, the risk that prior results, such as signals of safety, activity or durability of effect,
observed from preclinical or clinical trials, will not be replicated or will not continue in ongoing or future studies or
trials involving AVROBIO's investigational gene therapies, the
risk that we will be unable to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our investigational gene therapies, the risk that the size and growth potential of the market for our investigational gene therapies will not materialize as expected, risks associated with our dependence on third-party
suppliers and manufacturers, risks regarding the accuracy of our estimates of expenses and future revenue, risks relating to our capital requirements and needs for additional financing, risks relating to clinical trial and business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak or similar public health crises, including that such interruptions may materially delay our development timeline and/or increase our development costs or that data collection efforts may be impaired or otherwise impacted by such crises, and risks relating to our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our investigational gene therapies. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, and other important
factors, any of which could cause AVROBIO's actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in AVROBIO's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties and other

ASGCT 2020 data update - key takeaways
New data show consistent results across Fabry disease and cystinosis programs
Long-term Fabry patient data | Sustained long-term positive trends |
• Patient 1 in the Phase 2 trial continues to show stable leukocyte and plasma AGA enzyme activity, | |
now out 22 months | |
• Patient 3 in the Phase 2 trial shows increased leukocyte and plasma AGA enzyme activity, | |
decreased plasma lyso-Gb3 level, and stable VCN at new time points | |
• All three Phase 1 patients off ERT remain off ERT | |
First Fabry plato™ patient | plato continues to perform |
• One-month plasma lyso-Gb3 decrease of 43% vs. baseline | |
• Three-month leukocyte and plasma enzyme activity levels 3x greater than mean of other three | |
patients at same timepoint in Phase 2 trial | |
• Rapid neutrophil and platelet recovery with minimal lymphocyte depletion post Bu90 conditioning | |
Cystinosis Patient 1 data | Positive trends at six months, including kidney function measures |
• eGFR and serum creatinine measures trending positively at 6 months |

ASGCT 2020 data update - key takeaways
New data show consistent results across Fabry disease and cystinosis programs
Long-term Fabry patient data | Sustained long-term positive trends |
• Patient 1 in the Phase 2 trial continues to show stable leukocyte and plasma AGA enzyme activity, | |
now out 22 months | |
• Patient 3 in the Phase 2 trial shows increased leukocyte and plasma AGA enzyme activity, | |
decreased plasma lyso-Gb3 level, and stable VCN at new time points | |
• All three Phase 1 patients off ERT remain off ERT | |
First Fabry plato™ patient | plato continues to perform |
• One-month plasma lyso-Gb3 decrease of 43% vs. baseline | |
• Three-month leukocyte and plasma enzyme activity levels 3x greater than mean of other three | |
patients at same timepoint in Phase 2 trial | |
• Rapid neutrophil and platelet recovery with minimal lymphocyte depletion post Bu90 conditioning | |
Cystinosis Patient 1 data | Positive trends at six months, including kidney function measures |
• eGFR and serum creatinine measures trending positively at 6 months |
• Pill burden remains significantly lower than at baseline

New collaborations advancing leadership in lentiviral gene therapy
Fully Automated Bu-TDM Immunoassay
- AVROBIO and Saladax announced agreement to develop and validate Saladax's fully automated nanoparticle immunoassay kit
- Designed to work on most automated hospital analyzers
- Regular technician, 24/7 analysis possible with results anticipated in minutes using only microLs of blood
- Designed to analyze 10-100s samples per machine/hour
- Expected to eliminate Bu degradation errors as assay conducted in real-time at the point of care
- Scalable
Antibody-Drug Conjugate
- AVROBIO and Magenta announced research & clinical collaboration agreement to evaluate Magenta's preclinical CD117-targeted antibody conjugate to amanitin (MGTA-117) in conjunction with AVROBIO investigational gene therapies
- Designed to deplete only hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells
- Has shown promising data in non-human primates
- MGTA-117currently in IND-enabling studies
- Each party retains commercial rights to its own programs

Hematopoietic reconstitution occurs in two distinct phases
A few thousand long-term engrafting cells stably sustain levels of transgene product
First wave of short-term progenitor cells start to exhaust with
progressive takeover by a smaller population of long-term engrafting cells
