Joint Bleeding and Hemophilia Severity
• Patients with severe hemophilia (FVIII <1%) experience more joint bleeding than do those with moderate (FVIII 1-5%) or mild (FVIII >5%) disease

The Challenge with Traditional Clotting Factor Replacement Therapy
Mahdi et al., Br J Haematol (2015)
Trends in modern hemophilia therapeutics
• Shift from “minimally effective” prophylaxis to “optimized/personalized prophylaxis”• Emphasis on higher trough levels through:
• More intensive prophylaxis• Utilization of extended half-life clotting factors
• Bioengineered molecules with enhanced properties• Steady-state prophylaxis rather than “peaks and troughs”• Subcutaneous delivery over intravenous• Cross-segment therapeutics
• Efficacy in presence and absence of inhibitors• Efficacy across a number of bleeding disorders
EHL Factors and Trough Levels• Esperoct (N8-GP)
– Prophylaxis regimen of 40 IU/kg q4d– t1/2 = 18.4 hours; mean trough of 8%– ABR (median) = 1.3
• Rebinyn– Prophylaxis regimen of 10 IU/kg or 40 IU/kg weekly– t1/2 = 110 hours, mean trough of 9.8% and 21.3%, respectively– 40 IU/kg weekly: two-thirds reported complete resolution of
target joints
• Idelvion– Prophylaxis regimen of 40 IU/kg weekly or 75 IU/kg q 2 weeks– t1/2 = 102 hours, mean trough of 20% and 12.4%, respectively– 100% resolution of target joints

Higher Trough Levels and Bleed Prevention
•PROPEL Study (Adynovate, Shire/Takeda)– use pharmacokinetic-guided prophylaxis targeting two different FVIII trough levels in severe hemophilia A
– Low trough (1-3%) vs High trough (8-12%)– assessed proportion with annualized bleed rate = 0
– high trough (66%) vs low trough (39%)

Switches to EHL Factor IX Associated with Increased Utilization and Expenditures
What Are the Unmet Needs that Remain for Hemophilia A?
• There would still be attraction for once-weekly dosing for some patients• Particularly for moderate severity, mild severity who need prophylaxis (even if for short
courses)
• Inhibitor prevention remains highest priority• Some optimism that product-related immunogenicity may be low with these EHLs
• Inhibitor eradication may actually be higher with EHLs1-3
• Biologic rationale for improved immunomodulatory impact of Fc• Anecdotal evidence of improved ITI with rFVIIIFc• Unknown with PEGylation, but also biologic rationale for reduced immunogenicity
• Need to show improved outcomes with EHLs to justify price

Potential advantages of RNAi technology for the treatment of haemophilia
Therapeutic hypothesis
Individuals with haemophilia who have co-inherited thrombophilia mutations – such as AT deficiency –have milder bleeding phenotypes: thus AT lowering represents a rational therapeutic strategy for bleed control in haemophilia
Fitusiran is a nonbiologic therapy with an N-acetylgalactosamine(GalNAc) ligand for targeted delivery to the liver, site of antithrombin (AT) synthesis

Fitusiran Phase 2 OLE Interim Results: Overview of Safety and Tolerability• AEs were reported in 33 of 34 subjects
‒ The majority of AEs were mild or moderate in severity and unrelated to the study drug‒ The most common AEs (occurring in ≥15% of subjects overall) were: ALT increased (32% of subjects); headache
(24%); injection-site erythema (21%); arthralgia (18%)
• Increases in ALT >3× ULN were observed in 14 subjects (all confirmed HCV antibody positive at baseline)
‒ All asymptomatic and resolving, with no elevations of bilirubin >2x ULN
• No instances of anti-drug antibody formation• A total of 14 serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in 8 of 34 subjects
‒ 3 with SAEs considered possibly related to study drug ‒ Asymptomatic ALT and AST elevation in subject with chronic HCV infection; led to discontinuation
‒ Seizures in subject with history of seizure disorder (CT and MRI negative for bleed and thrombosis)
‒ Fatal cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST)
• Since implementation of the new bleed management guidelines, developed to mitigate the risk of thrombosis, there have been no related thrombotic events

a3 subjects considered non-compliant: 1 subject had higher than recommended doses of BPA to control multiple bleeds; 1 subject had repeat doses of BPA prior to the recommended 24-hour interval; and 1 subject had a higher than recommended dose of BPA to control a single bleed.

11 other cause of bleed was an operation (1 bleed, rFVIIa)2Other bleed locations included skin/mucosa (1 bleed, factor IX) and operative site (1 bleed, rFVIIa).
*Of 109 treated bleeds, 2 were not accessed at time of data transfer (November 19, 2018) Note: of the 13 bleeds that required repeat dosing and were treated non-compliantly: 9 occurred in 1 subject, and 4 in a second subject
Conclusions• Monthly fitusiran dosing demonstrated a durable therapeutic effect,
including sustained AT lowering, increased TG, and low ABR• Effect of fitusiran on AT lowering is reversible upon dose interruption and can be
restored with resumption of dosing• Lower doses of factor or BPA may provide adequate haemostatic
protection against bleeds for people receiving fitusiran prophylaxis • Promising investigational approach for rebalancing hemostasis in patients with
hemophilia A or B, with or without inhibitors• The safety and efficacy of fitusiran is now being evaluated in the ongoing
global Phase 3 ATLAS program*

Evolving trends with modern therapeutics for haemophilia A
Factor replacement therapy• Breaking the VWF ceiling – FVIII divorced
from VWF
• Once weekly dosing now possible
• SQ vs IV
• PK-directed therapy
• Flexibility – “normalize” hemostasis as needed
• Routine monitoring available
• Prophylaxis and breakthrough bleeding may be treated
Non-factor replacement therapy• Fixed dosing – weekly to monthly
• Subnormal to “normalized” hemostasis
• No routine monitoring
• Limited to no personalization for optimization of prophylaxis
• Liberation from routinely “having to think about their hemophilia”
• Advantage of steady-state correction
• Continued reliance on factor replacement therapy
Drivers for choice/preference of current therapeutics
Factor replacement therapy• Physician-driven
• Familiarity and flexibility
• Addresses the physiologic defect
• Concern regarding potential FVIII functions not corrected with non-replacement therapies
• Monitoring for clinical management
• Patient-driven• Inertia related to legacy treatment
• Comfort with peak correction as needed
• No perceived medical need to change
• Concern with observed or unknown AEs
Non-replacement therapy• Physician-driven
• Medically-driven necessity• Better bleed control, adherence
• Venous access challenges
• Experience suggesting a new standard for prophylaxis
• Opportunity for inhibitor avoidance?
• Patient-driven• Lower frequency of treatment
• Route of administration easier
• Worry about bleeds less
• Satisfaction with improved bleed control

AMT-061 – Padua variant (expected 6- to 7-fold increase in activity)
• Low prevalence of pre-existing neutralizing antibodies able to impact clinical outcomes1,4
• Previously tested in humans without sign of cellular immune activation2

AMT-061 was generally well-tolerated with no serious AEs related to treatment All participants achieved clinically meaningful FIX activity:
FIX activity increased by week 1-2 Mean 45% of normal at week 36 FIX activity in the normal range for two of the three participants
No bleeds or associated use of factor replacement therapy No clinically significant liver enzyme elevations No loss of FIX activity or requirement for immunosuppression
The Phase 3 HOPE-B AMT-061 study (NCT03569891) is enrolling First patient treated early 2019 Expected to enroll approximately 55 participants with severe hemophilia B Those with pre-existing AAV5 NAbs will not be excluded
85% reduction in mean ABR from baseline where all patients were on standard of care prophylaxis
95% reduction in mean FVIII usage annualized after week 5
New paradigm of current and potential treatmentsSubstitution & hemostatic rebalancing therapies
Pros• SQ delivery, low burden• Steady state hemostasis• Pediatric and adult application• Inhibitor/non-inhibitor efficacy
Cons• Likely not achieving “normal”
but may be “curative”• Thrombotic risk• Assay issues• Managing peak bleeding risk events• Annual expense
Investigational gene therapy
Pros• “One and done”• Steady state hemostasis• “curative” levels if not even “normal”• Annual cost savings
Cons• Eligibility
• Not for pediatric or inhibitors (yet)• Pre-existing immunity
• Known/unknown risks• Immunologic, cellular stress, integration risk?
• Uncertain durability, ability for redosing• High initial costs
