Topics to be Covered

  • Life cycle management (LCM) strategy for pitolisant
  • Overview of Myotonic Dystrophy (DM)
  • Patient insights
  • Scientific rationale for investigating pitolisant in patients with DM
  • Phase 2 clinical trial of pitolisant in patients with DM1
  • Concluding remarks

Pitolisant: Portfolio in a Product Opportunity

Mechanism-based approach to drug development and initial LCM studies based on:

  • Role of histamine in normal physiologic functioning
  • Role of histamine in disorders of orexin deficiency
  • Location of H3 receptors throughout the
    CNS
  • Limited H3 receptor populations outside the CNS
  • Proven clinical efficacy of pitolisant for
    EDS

Cerebral cortex:

    • Attention; vigilance
  • Executive functioning
    • Cognition

Limbic Circuit:

• Emotional control

• Behavioral processing

• Consolidation of memory

Hypothalamus:

  • Sleep-wakeregulation
    • Hunger-satiety

• Activation of the cortex

Brainstem:

  • Integration of neural circuitry
    (NE, 5-HT, DA, ACh)
    • REM-SleepCenters
    • Descending control of neuromuscular system

Pitolisant has a unique MOA with potential for multiple additional indications in

rare disease patient populations with unmet medical needs
