Lialda: litigation update

Genericising Lialda is quite challenging

• 4 par. IV litigations currently pending (first filed 2010) for counterfeiting/infringement against Zydus/Cadila, Osmotica, Mylanand Watson (now Actavis)

• Cosmo/Shire have won in first instance against Watson (now Actavis) as the Court ruled US6,773,720 patent covering Lialda as valid and the ANDA formulation in infringement. Watson appealed, the federal court amended the claim construction order, Cosmo/Shire challenged such order to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court ordered the lower court to re-examine the order in light of the ruling in the Tevavs. Sandoz case; this will significantly extend the duration of the trial

• In the meanwhile, the 30-months stay period has expired but no ANDA filer has yet launched “at risk”, possibly because if subsequently found guilty it would be exposed to triple damages

• Furthermore Watson (now Actavis) has seen its ANDA being rejectedfor lack of bio-equivalence

Uceris: Cosmo’s benefits from Add-On Trial

Add-On trial shows that treatment with Uceris in addition to 5-ASA:

• is more effective than 5-ASA alone in terms of clinical, endoscopicand hystological remission

• allows a much better mucosal healing compared to 5-ASA alone

As UC patients are normally first prescribed with 5-ASA and ≥ 40% of them non respond to 5-ASA, in light of the efficacy of the association:

• Uceris should be prescribed on an earlier base

• switch/upgrade to Uceris (stronger and more effectivesteroid with no side effects) should be accelerated

13

Uceris: potential espansion beyond UC

• Microscopic Colitis (MC) is an IBD, namely an inflammation of the colon that can be detected only with a microscope

• MC stems from an abnormal immune-system response to bacteria normally living in the colon

• MC includes collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis, whose symptoms and treatments are similar

• The most common symptom of MC is chronic, watery, non-bloody diarrhea. Episodes of diarrhea can last for weeks, months, or even years.

• Budesonide has proven to be the most effective API for the treatment of MC

• Best dose is 9mg and requires topical delivery in the last part of the Gut

• Uceris is the perfect candidate for an extension• Discussion are ongoing with partners

Uceris Additional Patent Protectionon Pharmacokinetic Parameters (PK)

• US Patent 8,895,064 was granted on November 25, 2014 with claimscontaining the in vivo pharmakinetics parameters related to the product

• It is important to have PK parameters granted in a US patent on an already marketed product

• US patent ‘064 expiry date in 2031

• This patent is already listed in the FDA Orange Book listing

• Two additional child patent applications with PK claims are nowpending to strenghten the position (expiry 2031)

Uceris is thus now protected also with PK parameters

16

• In response to the Citizen Petition filed by Santarus/Cosmo (2013), FDA issued a BE Draft Guidance specific for Uceris (December 2014), requesting two in vivo (pharmacokinetics) and one in vitro testing parameters (dissolution)

• ANDA Filers must therefore show bioequivalence with the following testing parameters:

In vivo : both fast and fed conditions

- partial AUC8-48 (with at least 4 non-zero points for each part);

- AUC0-t (last time point at least at 72 hours), and

- Cmax

In vitro : dissolution at 6 different pHs (at least 12 tbs per test)

- 4.5 (acetate buffer at 100 rpm);

- 6.9, 6.5, 6.8, 7.2 ad 7.5 (phosphate buffer at 100 rpm);

- alcohol and non-alcohol method (methods to be presented in detail)

• FDA requests 90% Confidence Interval (CI) for each parameter

As seen with Watson in the case of Lialda, genericizing Uceris

will be a challenging proposition from the BE standpoint

GI Pipeline - MoAb MMX

Assessment and assumptions for MMX® application

1 - Protein and peptide degrading proteolytic enzymes or peptidases are less abundant in the colon than in the upper GI tract

2 - Drug delivery into the colonic region, also in the left side of it, through MMX®

tablets is validated

3 - MMX® formulation auxiliary substances are compatible with the chemical nature of peptides and proteins: no compatibility major problems

4 - MMX® manufacturing process thermic and mechanical stresses do not degrade or change the structural conformation of proteins or peptides

5 - Proteins delivered by MMX® tablets have been proven to retain their binding capacity and their peculiar biologic activities

33

GI Pipeline - MoAb MMX

Development timeline:

• Formulation and analytical development ongoing with model APIs

Endoscopy Pipeline - SICPolyps removal tecniques

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR)

48

• Most commonly used technique for the removal of mucosal lesions, smaller than 2 cm, or piecemeal removal of larger lesions (> 2 cm)

• A cushion is needed to lift the lesion and facilitate its removal, minimizing the risks of mechanical or electrocutlery damage to the deep layers of the GI wall

Endoscopy Pipeline – SICPolyps removal tecniques

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)

49

Circumferential injections Mucosal elevation Submucosal dissection

• Developed specifically for removing larger lesions (> 2 cm)

• Predicted to replace conventional surgery

• Higher rate of perforation and bleeding complications

• Submucosal injection is essential in ESD, and a high and long lasting submucosal cushion is needed for a safe cutting

Endoscopy Pipeline - SIC

50

• To avoid risk of perforation, particularly for flat polyps, endoscopists needto create a ’’safety cushion‘‘ between the lesion and the deep layers of the GI wall

• Current procedures foresee the injection of normal saline solution, which is easy to inject but dissipates quickly

• Longer lasting cushions are obtained with expensive Hyaluronic Acid solutions or self made cocktails

• Strong need to obtain similar long lasting effect with alternative solutions: ideal product should:

• have low viscosity to facilitate injection• Provide a long lasting cushion (> 30 min)• Include a dye to enhance borders definition• be safe and bio-compatible• Affordable in terms of pricing

51

• SIC 8000 (SIC) is a Submucosal Injectable Composition, easy to be injected, developed to be used in endoscopic resection procedures in the GI tract

• SIC creates a long lasting cushion which is essential for a successful Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) or Endoscopic SubmucosalDissection (ESD)

• SIC is dyed with methylene blue, so it helps in visualizing the lesion and performing the resection procedure, minimizing risk of perforation

• SIC is covered by two international and one US patent applications filed in 2014 (priority 2013)

Endoscopy Pipeline - SIC

Endoscopy Pipeline - SICSIC satisfies an unmet need

52

• No products for this indication currently available in the US market

• Most commonly used submucosal injectable solution is normal saline, but several injections needed to maintain the cushion

• Hyaluronic acid solutions are known to be long lasting, but expensive Sigmavisc® in EU costs 50€ for 5 ml, Muco-up® in Japan costs 55€ for 5 ml

• Other patented compositions not on US market for impracticality

• Easy to use: no additional or customized devices (such as syringe pumps or other pumps) needed to administer SIC 8000

No currently used solutions meet medical needsin endoscopic practice

• 5 preclinical GLP studies on animals:

Tolerability study in minipigs

Tolerability study in dogs

Tolerability study in pigs

EMR/ESD procedures using SIC 8000 in pigs (stomach + colon)

Feasibility study of EMR/ESD procedures in pigs (stomach + colon + esophagus)

• Aim of the preclinical studies: full characterization of the product (efficacy/safety

profile) in conditions simulating and mimicking the actual use of the product on

human patients

• Animal species selection based on the animal models currently used for endoscopic

training procedures

Endoscopy pipeline: SICmarket potential estimate (colonoscopies only)

59

Endoscopy pipeline: SICmarket potential (additional indications)

The tissues of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum are quite similar to those of the colon. Inspection of these three tracts is conducted by Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (ECG). SIC can be used in all these tracts.

As many ECGs are performed as colonoscopies, both in the US and Europe.

During ECG, removal of tissues/polyps is frequently necessary and will require SIC as per below examples:

Barrett Esophagus

• Caused by GERD, ~ 1,6% of population affected

• Requires an ECG every 3 years

• Tissue removal required in ~ 10% all cases

Stomach & duodenal polyps

• polyps requiring extraction are found in around 0,7% of all procedures

Dermatology: a market with little innovation and many opportunities

• No NCE in Acne in the US market in the last 15 years

• Dermatologists generally prescribe 2-3 products at the same time as they look for new therapeutic options

• Historically dermatology has had the lowest product failure rate in clinical trials

• Probability of success in phase III clinical trials is high

• Market has important cosmetic and life-style implications

65

Dermatology Pipeline Acne market dynamics & opportunity

85% of all persons age 12-24 get acne, characterized as a chronic disease

In US 17 m person have acne, 35 m prescriptions are written p.a. primarily generics as there are no new drugs

WW market ~ $ 3 b; US Market at $ 2.3 b, growing by ~ 1% p.a. • Topical antibiotics market share ~ 29%• Topical retinoid market ~ 25%• Oral antibiotic market ~ 41%

Excellent opportunity for new topical drugs withnovel treatment forms and very low side effects

66

Dermatology pipeline – CB-03-01 (Acne)

CB-03-01 (Cortexolone 17α-propionate) is a NCEwith a new mechanism of action, acting on thesebum secretion control.It can prevent the cascade of physiologicalevents:follicle closure by sebum overproduction ->colonization by Prop. acnes ->Inflammation that leads to Acne formation,through evidence ofComedones -> papules -> pustules -> nodules ->cysts

Differently from other Acne drugs, CB-03-01 istopically effective without systemic sideeffects (no relevant AEs detected on the >450subjects treated up today)

67

Dermatology pipeline – CB-03-01 (Acne)Phase II overview

Best dose identified (1% BID)

No adverse events

Dermatology pipeline – CB-03-01 (Acne)Phase II overview

68

• CB-03-01 is a NCE

• FDA requires at least 1000 patients treated for safety evaluation

• 110 patients treated in Phase I/IIa

• 290 patients treated in Phase IIb

• Primary Endpoints: reached

• 700 treated patients planned for Phase III (2 pivotal studies of 350 vs

vehicle)

• CB-03-01 has shown statistical significance in Phase II with only 72

patient per cohort

• CB-03-01 has therefore very high potential for showing statistical
