  • Forward-Looking StatementsThis presentation contains forward-looking statements and information regarding the future performance and actions of Repros Therapeutics Inc. (RPRX) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and actions to differ materially. These risks include those discussed in this presentation and others that can be found in Repros Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in the subsequently filed Form 10-Qs, which contain additional important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from its current expectations and from the forward-looking statements made in this presentation. RPRX is providing this information as of this date and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. The results of initial clinical trials do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage clinical trials. RPRX cannot guarantee that data collected from clinical trials of any product candidate will be sufficient to support FDA or other regulatory approval.

  • Repros Strategy

    Focus on small molecule therapeutics for hormonal and reproductive system disorders that exhibit significant market potential and that are currently underservedLate stage development of highly differentiated drugsProellex for the treatment of female reproductive system disordersAcute anemia associated with uterine fibroidsChronic relief of uterine fibroid symptomsChronic relief of the symptoms associated with endometriosisAndroxal for the treatment of endocrine disordersTreatment of Type II Diabetes in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Fertility preservation/improvement in treatment of 2 hypogonadismProven track record of efficient and rapid clinical development

  • Repros Market OpportunityProellexUterine fibroid anemia$140 million/yearUterine fibroid symptoms$1.75 billion/yearEndometriosis symptoms$1.70 billion/year

  • Proellex

  • Proellex OverviewNew class of selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM)Suitable for chronic and acute indicationsPotential significant advantages over existing GnRHa standard of careNo loss of bone mineral density in clinical trialsNo chronic drug treatments availableExcellent, long-term IP protectionUS issued composition of matter patent to 2017Eligible for Hatch-Waxman extensionPotential use applications with life to 2027Worldwide exclusive rightsIn-licensed from NIHIncludes 43 additional compounds

  • Uterine FibroidsLarge Underserved MarketMost common tumor of the female reproductive tractHeavy bleeding / anemiaAbdominal pressure / pain / urinary frequencyConservative Estimate, 15% of women of reproductive age with symptomatic uterine fibroidsPotentially 26,000,000 women in US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, & UK with symptomatic fibroidsEstimated 700,000 severe cases currently requiring surgery or radical treatment in large market countriesMean age of women seeking UF treatment, 39Potential years on therapy, 10Uterine Fibroids regress when a woman reaches menopauseIf only 25% of severe population use drug option$1,750,000,000/yr Market ($140 million for anemia)

  • US Phase II Endometriosis Study25 mg Patients Electing HysterectomySituations Leading to Election of Hysterectomy Open Label Study not available for dosing until March/April 09. Patients completed double blind study in Nov. 2008.

    Hysterectomy to treat severe endometriosis is relatively common option (120,000 procedures in the US annually) Subject 1 was informed about the extension study (not yet dosing), but reported that due to her long history of endometriosis and severity of her condition she proceeded with the hysterectomy. This subject is now 36 years old.Subject 2 was informed about the extension study but withdrew after completing Visit 7. She did not have worsening symptoms, only that she did not want to go without medications. The subject recently obtained insurance, which enabled her to have the procedure. This subject is now 43 years old.

  • ProellexSafety ExperienceWell tolerated at all dosesNo observed QT effects at up to 4X maximum clinical dosePotential for break through vaginal bleeding significantly reduced by incorporating off-drug intervalsOpen-label extension study confirming positive impact of off-drug interval
