Randomized Phase 3
Early futility analysis: HR 0.84 favoring NEOD001 (p=NS): TRIAL HALTED
• Hypothesis re: pathophysiology may be wrong
– Doubt this is the problem
• Statistical assumptions may have been wrong
– Therapeutic effect of NEOD001 overestimated?
– Clinical course of placebo-treated pts underestimated?
– Endpoints of amyloidosis trials are a challenge

• Targeting toxic, misfolded protein aggregates
hypothesized to improve outcomes in amyloidosis
• NEOD001 and anti-SAP therapies led the way, but
development of each halted after failed trials
• CAEL101 and PRX004 in early clinical stages in
AL and ATTR amyloidosis, respectively
Summary (I)
• Lessons learned from prior failures will guide the
design of future trials
• Strategies to enhance (or broaden) therapeutic
effects of anti-fibril MoAbs in development
Summary (II)
