TVB-2640 – clinical experience Oral, potent, FASN inhibitor

Pharmacological inhibition of FASN prevents high fat diet induced liver damage in mice and significantly reduces de novo lipogenesis in humans Greg Duke, Richard Crowley, Marie O’ Farrell, William McCulloch, Douglas Buckley, and George Kemble

3-V Biosciences, Inc., Menlo Park, CA

Standard design for Oncology – Accelerated titration - rapidly identify MTD •  Identified target-related AE’s (alopecia, hand

foot syndrome, ocular) • Manageable and reversible AEs • Decreased AEs at lower doses

(reduced severity & frequency) • Evidence of anti-tumor activity ♯Ph1b Study – DNL Metabolic syndrome

Tissue Distribution of PO [14C]-TVB-2640in Male SD Rats (1h)

• Plasma levels increase with dose

• Mean half-life ~15 hours • Steady state by day 8 • Exceeds preclinical efficacy • >10X liver distribution vs skin

Rat – Liver Enhanced Tissue Distribution

Excellent pharmacokinetics

Phase 1 – Cancer patients treated with TVB-2640 (n>62) PK, PD and AE profiles point to promising opportunity for NASH

3-V FASN inhibitors – preclinical studies Prevent diet induced steatosis & inflammation

Conclusions

3-V’s FASN Inhibitors: •  Reduce high fat diet liver damage in mice

•  38% reduction in liver steatosis •  Inhibited IL-1β production in serum •  Treated established disease with short therapy

•  Ex vivo stimulated human PBMC •  Inhibited IL-1β production •  Inhibited differentiation to Th17 – replaced with Treg

TVB-2640: oral, potent, first-in-class FASN inhibitor

•  Demonstrated inhibition of FASN & lipogenesis in humans •  Excellent PK – liver enhanced distribution •  Potential to significantly reduce dose for NAFLD/NASH

Next step: Phase 1b – Identify dose for hepatic DNL in metabolic syndrome

•  Evaluate low doses of TVB-2640 to inhibit hepatic lipogenesis (collaboration with E. Parks at University of Missouri)

TVB-2640 inhibits lipogenesis in human skin (sebum)

• TVB-2640 dose for cancer patients inhibits lipogenesis in skin by >90%

• Expecting much lower doses needed to inhibit liver fat synthesis in NASH patients based on tissue distribution of TVB-2640
