    • Aβ (Alzheimer's Disease)

resulting in activated microglia

Etrasimod

Proactive life-cycle management strategy designed to further differentiate etrasimod and create additional intellectual property

CR program designed to retain rapid onset while further improving its potentially best-in-class,non-titrated, low intrinsic first-dose HR effect

Positive topline data from Ph1 study demonstrated significant reduction in HR effect

  • Etrasimod has class-leadingnon-titrated HR effect, and lowest intrinsic effect on GIRK channel
  • Etrasimod CR delivery enabled a greater than 75% reduction in the average heart rate effect of etrasimod during its 4-hour monitoring period, with heart rate slowing by only low single digits from baseline with no titration
  • No cases of AV block were reported at any time point in the study. No adverse events related to heart rate, blood pressure or other cardiac events were reported during the study. The rest of the safety profile was consistent with etrasimod's historical safety profile

Life-cycle management, potentially extending etrasimod's IP portfolio

We intend to pursue initial regulatory approval UC with etrasimod and move to etrasimod CR with other ongoing and future development programs including dermatologic indications

Tofacitinib

Upon initial approval by the FDA in 2012, a post-marketing clinical trial (NCT02092467) was required to evaluate safety at two doses (5 mg, 10 mg; BID) in comparison to a TNF blocker control. Based on interim results, the 10 mg BID treatment was stopped on the account of increased occurrence of blood clots and of death.Regulatory communications followed, noting the increased safety risk reflected in the respective drug label(s).

During the FDA's primary clinical review, it was determined that the risk of thrombosis, among other safety attributes, were considered classeffects of JAK inhibitors, and that given the uncertainties as well as accruing evidence surrounding class safety effects, the product labeling was ultimately given a Boxed Warning with language specifying thrombotic risk.

Etrasimod Aims to Address Unmet Need in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

Disease Pathology

  • Chronic allergen- driven IMID of the esophagus1,2
  • Expansion & infiltration of multiple immune cell subsets (dendritic, CD4+, CD8+, eosinophil, mast)
  • Th2 cytokine profile (IL- 4/5/13) promotes inflammatory response and tissue damage

Strong Preference for Oral non-steroid Treatment Option

Significant commercial opportunity due to increased prevalence and limited competition

158K US patients prevalence and increasing diagnosis

High unmet need as this is a

chronic lifelong condition

Etrasimod Preclinical Evidence Supporting EoE Investigation

Etrasimod mechanism of action may have potential by modulating the trafficking of multiple immune subsets

  • Reduce immune cell trafficking (dendritic, T cell, eosinophil)4,5
  • Reduce tissue cytokines3, including Th2 cytokines4
  • Reduce eosinophil accumulation in tissue4,5

Etrasimod reduced DC trafficking from skin to LN5 and reduced accumulation of eosinophils and activated T cells in skin5

Etrasimod in Dermatologic Conditions

Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

Alopecia Areata (AA)

Etrasimod Aims to Address Unmet Need in Atopic Dermatitis

AD Disease Pathology

  • Heterogeneous inflammatory skin disease, clinically characterized by a chronic rash and itch5,6
  • Driven by a variety of factors including genetic and environmental factors, a defective skin barrier, and an aberrant immune response5,6
  • Recruitment of T cells into the skin and their effector functions, including production of Th2 cytokines, are key in the pathogenesis of AD6,7

Scientific Rationale

  • Reduced inflammation & decrease skin- infiltrating T cells, B cells and eosinophils1,2
  • Reduced trafficking of dendritic cells1
  • Reduced Th2 profile in asthma animal model2
  • Reduced collagen deposition & dermal thickening3
  • S1P receptor modulator mediated efficacy demonstrated in other dermatologic diseases (e.g. psoriasis)
  • Etrasimod demonstrated early clinical result in PG & EIM
  • Potential safety and efficacy profile appropriate to dermatologic conditions

Etrasimod Aims to Address Unmet Need in Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata (AA)

  • Common T cell-mediated autoimmune disease1,2
  • Disease can range from patchy hair loss to total hair loss of scalp, face, and body1,2
  • Associated with several serious debilitating comorbidities, including other autoimmune diseases3,4
  • Psychosocial stress associated with this form of hair loss is significant, and results in a clear reduction in QoL1-3

There are no approved therapies specifically for AA

  • SOC is injected corticosteroids, lacks efficacy and is only feasible for small treatment areas
  • Off-labelJAK use is minimal, safety concerns

Alopecia Areata Disease Pathogenesis

Disease Pathology

Etrasimod

Potential:

Reduce inflammation to restore normal hair growth cycle

Alopecia Areata1,2

  • Caused by a collapse in immune privilege in hair follicle bulb
  • CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infiltrate the hair bulb during anagen phase of the hair growth cycle-"like a swarm of bees"
  • Inflammation alters normal hair growth cycle and causes hair to fall out
  • However, hair follicle structure and stem cells are preserved, suggesting potential for hair regrowth

Etrasimod Preclinical Evidence Supporting AA Investigation

Etrasimod Hypothesis

  • Reduce number circulating CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes2 available to infiltrate hair follicle
  • Fewer CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the tissue3 may decrease inflammation and restore normal hair growth

Preliminary data4: Immune cells in the inflammatory infiltrate around lesional follicles in AA patients are positive for S1P1

Olorinab Rationale

  • Orally administered, peripherally acting analgesic
  • Observed to be 1,000x more selective for CB2 than CB1
  • Peripherally acting / designed to be devoid of psychoactive affects and abuse liability
  • Full agonism and lack of tachyphylaxis may translate into sustained antinociceptive effects

Shared Mechanisms in IBS and IBD Pain

  • IBS symptoms reported in 36% UC and

46% CD patients in apparent

CB2 receptor

remission1,4

  • Submucosal microinflammation, persisting changes in the lumen and epithelium undetected by conventional testing4,5
  • Increased CB2 receptor expression on

colonic mucosa in patients with IBS2,3

  • CB2 receptor activation on sensory afferent pain fibers in the colon may

reduce visceral hypersensitivity underlying IBS
