TRC205: Endoglin Antibody for Fibrosis Nearly 50% of all deaths in developed world are associated with some type of chronic fibroproliferative disease Fibrosis alters architecture of organs and tissues, thereby disrupting normal function and is associated with a wide variety of diseases and injuries Two recent FDA-approved treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) Esbriet (Roche) and Ofev (Boehringer Ingelheim) No FDA-approved treatments for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) SYSTEMIC FIBROTIC DISEASES Scleroderma Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Cystic Fibrosis Chronic Graft vs. Host Disease Atherosclerosis INJURY ASSOCIATED FIBROTIC DISEASE Surgical-induced Fibrosis Burn-induced Scarring & Contraction Radiation-Induced Fibrosis HEART Heart Attack (MI) Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) PULMONARY Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Scleroderma Lung Disease COPD ARDS Areas of Fibrotic Disease OPHTHALMIC Glaucoma Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Diabetic Retinopathy Dry Eye Disease LIVER Alcoholic Cirrhosis Hepatitis C Cirrhosis Non-Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis (NASH) RENAL Transplant Nephropathy Diabetic Nephropathy Lupus Nephritis BONE MARROW Idiopathic & Drug Induced Myelofibrosis SKIN Hypertrophic Scarring Keloids
TRC205 Development Overview Studies indicate strong potential for targeting endoglin in fibro-proliferative disorders Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, liver fibrosis (including NASH), renal fibrosis, end-stage pulmonary hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, scleroderma, non-systolic heart failure Targeting endoglin with TRC105 (N-Eng Ab) reverses cardiac fibrosis and prolongs survival following pulmonary artery constriction (PAC) in mice. Treatment initiated 3 weeks following PAC and continued biweekly for 3 weeks TRC205, an IgG4 version of TRC105, has been cloned
TRC102: Reversing Resistance to Chemotherapy Small molecule designed to reverse resistance to chemotherapy and complement poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors Inhibits base excision repair, a dominant pathway of DNA repair that allows for resistance to alkylating chemotherapy (e.g., Temodar) and antimetabolite chemotherapy (e.g., Alimta) Completed three Phase 1 clinical trials: with Alimta published in Investigational New Drugs in 2012, with Fludara presented at ASH 2014, and with Temodar presented at ASCO 2015 Well-tolerated with daily oral dosing at doses that achieved target plasma levels and pharmacodynamic endpoints; partial responses and stable disease observed in refractory disease Selected for development by NCI in 2013, which is expected to fund multiple Phase 1 and 2 trials In combination with Alimta/Cisplatin in solid tumors (Phase 1 initiated) In combination with chemoradiation in lung cancer (Phase 1) In combination with Alimta in mesothelioma (Phase 2 initiated) In combination with Temodar in GBM (Phase 2)
Capital Efficient Clinical Development Strategy Beneficial relationship with NCI Multiple TRC105 and TRC102 clinical trials conducted in collaboration with NCI Mechanism used by Genentech to fund the majority of Avastin Phase 3 clinical trials Clinical Operations Internal system of clinical trial execution, including data management, allowing the company to conduct clinical trials without a CRO Validated in-house clinical operations and data management More efficient access to clinical data at lower cost Initial focus on indications with potential for reduced time to approval Significant Cost Savings to TRACON
