ALKS 2680: Orexin 2 Receptor (OX2R) Agonist


Slide 17

Orexin Dysfunction: Well Defined Opportunity in Narcolepsy and Other Sleep Disorders In narcolepsy and other sleep disorders, low orexin levels lead to inconsistent neurotransmitter release, resulting in excessive sleepiness and poor regulation of REM sleep Narcolepsy affects ~200,000 people in U.S. and 3M people globally1 70% of people with narcolepsy have narcolepsy type 12, distinguished by: Cataplexy, a sudden muscle weakness triggered by strong emotions Low or no orexin in the brain Genetic and pharmacologic evidence suggests that orexin receptor agonists, especially OX2R agonists, may be useful for mechanistic therapy of narcolepsy3 Figure from: Scammell, T E, and Saper, C B.

ALKS 2680: Investigational Oral Orexin 2 Receptor Agonist for the Treatment of Narcolepsy ALKS 2680 is a highly potent, orally bioavailable, selective OX2R agonist  ≥10 fold more potent than orexin Aa >5,000-fold selectivity relative to OX1Ra Designed to address underlying pathology of narcolepsy and achieve: Improved wakefulness duration and quality, with a PK/PD profile that mirrors natural sleep/wake cycle Cataplexy control Low therapeutic dose with once-daily oral dosing Acceptable safety profile with wide therapeutic window ALKS 2680 demonstrated dose-dependent improvements in wake duration and cataplexy control in a mouse model of narcolepsyb Initial data from the ongoing phase 1 study has shown: ALKS 2680 is generally well tolerated Proof of concept in patients with narcolepsy type 1 aData from preclinical studies using CHO cells. bOrexin DTA mice CHO: Chinese Hamster Ovary; DTA: diphtheria toxin subunit A; OX1R: orexin receptor type 1; OX2R: orexin receptor type 2; PD: pharmacodynamic; PK: pharmacokinetic

Ongoing Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled First-in-Human Study of ALKS 2680: SAD and MAD Healthy Volunteers Each dose cohort in both SAD and MAD included 8 new participants 6 on ALKS 2680, 2 on placebo Objectives: Safety and tolerability Pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) *Denotes dynamic decision points for triggering subsequent cohorts aIn MAD, participants were dosed for 10 days once daily


Slide 20

ALKS 2680 Was Generally Well Tolerated in Healthy Volunteers in Both SAD and MAD Maximum tolerated dose not reached Most AEs were mild and observed at doses ≥15 mg (SAD) and ≥8 mg (MAD)  No severe AEs or serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported Most AEs were transient and resolved without intervention or treatment interruption AEs observed in >1 participant (>5%) and deemed related to study drug among those completing SAD/MAD were: SAD: dizziness, pollakiuria, nausea, and blurred vision MAD: insomnia, dizziness, pollakiuria, and visual disturbance (described as blurred or distorted vision, increased light sensitivity) One participant in MAD discontinued after taking a single 25 mg dose due to transient, non-serious, non-severe AEs that resolved without treatment including pollakiuria and visual disturbances No safety signal identified in vital signs, laboratory parameters, or ECGs AE: adverse event; ECG: electrocardiogram; MAD: multiple ascending dose; SAD: single ascending dose Healthy Volunteers Data as of 06 September 2023

Slide 23

ALKS 2680 Significantly Improved Sleep Latency With a Clear Dose Response NT1 Patients Change from Baseline in Average Sleep Latency on MWT Over 8 Hours, Least Squares Mean (95% CI), Minutes ALKS 2680 Dose P < 0.001 Average Sleep Latency on the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) (N = 4 per dose) P < 0.01 P < 0.001
