| Livoletide (AZP-531) for Prader-Willi Syndrome |
| Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Well-characterized genetic orphan endocrine disease Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by: • Hyperphagia: Chronic feeling of insatiable hunger ‒ Starts at 5-8 years old and usually lasts until death ‒ Hallmark of PWS • Intellectual/emotional disabilities and psychiatric disorders • Multiple hormonal deficiencies resulting in short stature and incomplete sexual development • Metabolic dysfunction and early death 7 1 Lionti, 2015 2 Ehara, 1995 Complex disorder attributed primarily to spontaneous genetic error on CHROMOSOME 15 Livoletide Nevanimibe 8,000– 11,000 13,000– 18,000 ~1:15,000BIRTH INCIDENCE1,2 30-40 YEARSMEDIAN AGE / MORTALITY PREVALENT CASES U.S. EUROPE |

| Livoletide Nevanimibe Critical Need for PWS Treatments Livoletide is a compelling late-stage drug candidate Well-defined development and regulatory path Livoletide pivotal study ZEPHYR initiated 1Q19 Beloranib Phase 3 program is useful precedent Phase 2b portion of Phase 2b/3 pivotal trial may support submission of NDA Randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled Phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated safety and efficacy Favorable safety profile based on clinical and pre-clinical studies to date Both FDA and EMA understand the large unmet medical need for PWS Validated clinical endpoint – Hyperphagia Questionnaire (HQ)* → Acceptable as the sole primary endpoint for PWS trials by FDA and EMA Orphan drug designation granted by U.S. FDA and EMA Benchmark for clinically meaningful results in HQ Reference for recruitment and trial statistics; experienced clinical sites Program terminated in Phase 3 due to safety issues (patient deaths) related to beloranib’s mechanism of action 9 * HQ is a 9-item, validated behavioral questionnaire to assess food-related behaviors and administered to caregivers. |
| 10 Livoletide for Treatment of Hyperphagia in PWS Pharmacology of UAG is distinct from that of AG Livoletide Nevanimibe LivoletideUnacylated Ghrelin (UAG)Acylated Ghrelin (AG) • Once-daily injectable cyclic peptide • Comparable in vitro and in vivo pharmacological profiles to UAG •More stable than linear analogues in human plasma and has improved in vivo PK 1GHSR1a = growth hormone secretagogue receptor, or ghrelin receptor 1 • AG is the most potent known appetite-stimulating endocrine hormone • Stimulates fat deposition • Induces insulin resistance • Inhibits AG-induced food intake • Inhibits fat deposition • Improves insulin sensitivity • Modulates food intake (↓) and metabolic endpoints in rodents out to 44 weeks |
