photoreceptors and integrate into retinal layers in pre-clinical models; integration may also enable durable trophic support

Broad potential across a range of eye diseases, initially targeting inherited retinal degenerative diseases

Orphan Drug Designation in EU and US in RP and FDA Fast Track Designation

Proprietary manufacturing process

and controls allow for stable, high quality

and high quantity GMP production

Collaborations with Schepens Eye Research Institute (Harvard) and University College London

Proprietary technology enabled

development of GMP manufacturing

process

Cryopreserved formulation provides nine-month shelf life and enables local treatment worldwide

RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA: AN UNMET NEED

RP is an inherited, degenerative eye disease1,2,3

Incidence of 1:4,000 in U.S. and worldwide

>100 genes identified containing mutations leading to RP4

Normal View

Treatment available only for patients with a single gene defect (RPE65)

Patients with all other types of RP (c98% of patients5) have declining vision eventually leading to severe visual disability in most

Therapeutic benefit of hRPC approach not dependent on genetic cause

Phase 2a Extension

Phase 2a Extension

9 additional subjects with established RP

  • Patients selected with capability to perform micro-perimetry - should allow retinal sensitivity to be an indicator of efficacy
  • Dose escalation: from 1m to 2m cell dose
  • Modified surgical technique to target bleb placement

Primary endpoint

• Safety

Secondary measures

  • Visual acuity, micro-perimetry, visual field, retinal sensitivity and retinal structure

hRPC PLATFORM NEXT STEPS

Expanded Phase 2a study to generate further and longer-term follow up efficacy data

  • UK and US regulatory approvals obtained in April and May 2020 respectively
  • Modifications in patient selection, dose, surgical technique and efficacy assessments to amplify current efficacy signal

Further top-line efficacy data expected to be presented later in 2020 (subject to continued easing of COVID-19 restrictions) and during 2021

  • Expecting to file for approval for potential single pivotal study during H2 2021

INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS

ReNeuron's iPSC platform technology is for reprogramming proprietary neural stem cells into a pluripotent state able to differentiate into any other form of stem cell

iPSCs retain the immortalisation characteristic of the stem cells from which they are derived, resulting in highly stable cell lines

Technology has the potential to lead to off the shelf therapeutics, such as T cells for CAR-T therapy

Also has the potential to produce exosomes with tissue-specific targeting ability

Two programmes - currently underway in the validation and characterisation stage
