Forward Looking Statements
Statements made in this presentation regarding matters that are not historical facts are
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties,
actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, and
the results of the 112 study are not necessarily indicative of the results of the 113 study.
Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Trius’ ability to
successfully complete its ongoing clinical trials and development programs and the expected
timing for reporting of top-line data for the TR701-113 study. Risks that contribute to the
uncertain nature of the forward-looking statements include: the success and timing of Trius’
preclinical studies and clinical trials; regulatory developments in the United States and
foreign countries; changes in Trius’ plans to develop and commercialize its product
candidates; the outcome of final analyses of data from recently-completed clinical trials of
tedizolid may vary from Trius’ initial analyses and the FDA may not agree with Trius’
interpretation of such results; additional ongoing or planned clinical trials of tedizolid may
produce negative or inconclusive results; Trius may decide, or the FDA may require Trius, to
conduct additional clinical trials or to modify Trius’ ongoing clinical trials; Trius may
experience delays in the commencement, enrollment, completion or analysis of clinical testing for its
product candidates, or significant issues regarding the adequacy of its clinical trial designs
or the execution of its clinical trials, which could result in increased costs and delays, or
limit Trius’ ability to obtain regulatory approval; the third parties with whom Trius has
partnered with for the development of tedizolid and upon whom Trius relies to conduct its clinical
trials and manufacture its product candidates may not perform as expected; tedizolid may not
receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized; unexpected adverse side effects
or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of tedizolid could delay or prevent regulatory approval or
commercialization; Trius’ ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for its product
candidates; the loss of key scientific or management personnel, Trius’ ability to obtain
additional financing; and the accuracy of Trius’ estimates regarding expenses, future
revenues and capital requirements. These and other risks and uncertainties are described more
fully in Trius’ most recent Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other documents filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors discussed under the caption
“Risk Factors” in such filings. All forward-looking statements contained in this
press release speak only as of the date on which they were made. Trius undertakes no obligation
to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the
date on which they were made.

Progression of ABSSSI Regulatory Environment for Phase 3
Studies 112 and 113
May 2010:
First in a series of FDA requested meetings of the FNIH (Foundation for the
National Institutes of Health) working group established to provide recommendations to
the
FDA
on
endpoints
for
clinical
trials
of
drugs
for
ABSSSI
and
other
indications
June
2010:
FDA
grants
Trius
a
“SPA
Letter
of
Agreement”
for
study
#112
August 2010:
–
FDA issues “Draft ABSSSI guidance”
that reflect changes from the 112 SPA including:
•
Carry-over of early failures at secondary outcome measurement and exclusion of
investigator- reported pain at EOT as a secondary outcome failure
criterion August 2011:
–
FDA grants Trius an SPA agreement for study #113 that reflects the recent draft
guidance –
FNIH submits to the FDA its recommendations on ABSSSI guidance (ABSSSI Docket ID:
FDA--2011--D- -0433). The recommendations include:
•
Removal of fever as a component of the primary endpoint leaving cessation of spread
& reduction in lesion size as the sole parameters for the primary efficacy
analysis at the 48-72hr visit
•
Recommendation to also use
20% reduction of lesion size at 48-72hrs as the primary
outcome
Trius has prospectively captured these suggested changes in the analyses of studies 112
and 113 Q2 2012: Expected issuance of final guidance on ABSSSI

Study 112 Primary & Secondary Endpoints: Capturing
FDA and EMA Endpoints
Primary Endpoint*:
Cessation of lesion spread & resolution of fever at 48-72 hour visit after
initiation of study drug (ITT analysis set) [FDA Primary Endpoint]
Secondary Endpoints:
Sustained clinical response at EOT in the ITT analysis set (days
11-13)
Sustained clinical response at EOT in the CE-EOT analysis set (days
11-13) Investigator’s
assessment of clinical success at PTE in the ITT analysis set
