27 m e s o b l a s t Rexlemestrocel-L Heart Failure


 
28 m e s o b l a s t REVASCOR for pediatric congenital heart disease and adults with ischemic HFrEF Product Indication Phase 2 Phase 3 Regulatory Filing Approved REVASCOR® rexlemestrocel-L (STRO3+) Pediatric HLHS Adult HFrEF End-stage Adult HFrEF Class II/III This chart is figurative and does not purport to show individual trial progress within a clinical program Notes: ▪ Tasly Pharmaceuticals has exclusive rights for rexlemestrocel-L for the treatment or prevention of chronic heart failure in China.


 
29 m e s o b l a s t REVASCOR has multiple mechanisms-of-action that may be beneficial to children with congenital heart disease including neovascularization, anti-fibrosis, and reduction in inflammation. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart disease in which the left side of the heart does not fully develop and effective pumping of oxygenated blood by the left ventricle to the rest of the body is reduced. Achievement of life-saving surgery creating a two-ventricle series circulation with the left ventricle (LV) pumping blood to the body and the right ventricle pumping blood to the lungs is limited by the inability in most patients for the left ventricle to grow sufficiently to support the circulation to the body. Clinical trial at Boston Children’s Hospital evaluated whether REVASCOR could enhance LV size to support circulation to the body. Pediatric: REVASCOR As treatment for severe congenital heart disease 1. Kritzmire, S. M, et al. (2022). Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554576/# Anatomy of hypoplastic left heart syndrome


 
30 m e s o b l a s t In the HLHS randomized controlled single-center US trial in 19 patients, a single intramyocardial administration of REVASCOR at the time of staged surgery resulted in significantly increased LV systolic and diastolic volumes over 12 months compared with control.1 These changes are indicative of clinically important growth of the small left ventricle, facilitating the ability to have a successful surgical correction, known as full biventricular (BiV) conversion, which allows for a normal two ventricle circulation with the surgically repaired left ventricle taking over circulatory support to the body. Without full BiV conversion the right heart chamber is under excessive strain with increased risk of heart failure and death. These changes are indicative of clinically important growth of the small left ventricle that can help facilitate a subsequent surgical correction allowing for a normal two ventricle circulation. Improvement in left ventricular functional outcomes with REVASCOR may encourage more widespread use of surgical procedures to create a functioning left ventricle in children with HLHS resulting in reduction in long-term morbidity and mortality compared with other medical and/or surgical approaches.

31 m e s o b l a s t FDA granted Mesoblast’s cardiovascular investigational product, REVASCOR, both Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) and Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) this year. This followed submission of results from the randomized controlled trial in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition. RPDD demonstrates that the disease is serious or life-threatening and the manifestations primarily affect individuals aged from birth to 18 years, including age groups often called neonates, infants, children, and adolescents, and that the disease is a rare disease or condition. On FDA approval of a BLA for REVASCOR for the treatment of HLHS, Mesoblast may be eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher (PRV) that can be redeemed for any subsequent marketing application or may be sold or transferred to a third party. Mesoblast plans to meet with FDA to discuss whether the randomized controlled study can be used to obtain regulatory approval for REVASCOR in children with this life-threatening condition. Pediatric: FDA awarded Rare Pediatric Disease designation and Orphan Drug designation to REVASCOR for hypoplastic left heart syndrome


 
32 m e s o b l a s t Adult: Heart failure with low ejection fraction (HFrEF) and underlying ischemia is increasing in prevalence and associated with high risk of mortality, heart attacks and strokes Heart failure affects 6.5 million patients in the US alone, with prevalence increasing.1 Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a progressive disease with a high mortality that approaches 50% at 5 years1,2 and at least 75% after an initial hospitalization.3 Heart failure with low ejection fraction (HFrEF) is associated with greater mortality, occurs in approximately 50% of all patients. Over 60% of HFrEF patients have underlying ischemia and these are at highest risk of recurrent major adverse cardiac events involving large vessels (heart attacks / strokes). 1.

35 m e s o b l a s t Pathway to accelerated approval for REVASCOR in adults with HFrEF DREAM-HF Trial over a mean follow-up of 30 months showed significant reduction in 3-Point MACE in ischemic HFrEF patients (n=158). LVAD-MPC Study #2, over 12 months of follow-up, showed significant increase in proportion of LVAD recipients with ischemic HFrEF etiology successfully weaned (n=70), with significant reduction in hospitalizations and mortality. At Type B meeting in Q1 2024, FDA informed Mesoblast that the totality of the trial results from these studies may support an accelerated approval pathway for REVASCOR in end-stage ischemic HFrEF patients with LVADs. Mesoblast intends to request a pre-BLA meeting with FDA to discuss data presentation, timing and FDA expectations for an accelerated approval filing in ischemic HFrEF patients with end-stage heart failure.
