Zynerba Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ZYNE) 3 A Rare/Near - Rare Neuropsychiatric Company • Deep pipeline targeting high unmet medical needs; translating into multi - billion dollar market opportunity with Zygel™ (Cannabidiol Gel) • Focused on completing development of Zygel in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) • Pre - planned ad hoc analyses of CONNECT - FX data identified patient population who appear to benefit from Zygel • As a result of meeting with FDA in 4Q2020, Zynerba plans to conduct a trial in patients with a highly methylated FMR1 gene to confirm positive results seen in CONNECT - FX responders • Continuing to pursue three additional neuropsychiatric indications: • 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) – Phase 2 ongoing • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) – Phase 2 complete • Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) – Phase 2 complete • Experienced team with development and commercial expertise in transdermal delivery, orphan diseases, neurology, and psychiatry • Cash runway expected to be sufficient to fund operations into 2023
Deep Clinical Pipeline & Near - term Milestones 4 Zygel Cannabidiol Gel *Orphan Drug and Fast Track designation **Orphan Drug designation Expected Milestones Review trial design and protocol with FDA in 1H21; initiate confirmatory pivotal trial before the end of 2021 Discuss Phase 2 results and regulatory path forward with FDA in 1H2021 Completion of enrollment once COVID - 19 restrictions in Australia are eased Finalize target syndrome selection in 2021
Neuropsych Indications Differentiated Formulation delivers Cannabidiol through the epidermis and into the circulatory system Zygel (ZYN002) Cannabidiol Gel 5 Unique Mechanism of Action First & only patent - protected (2038), permeation - enhanced, pharmaceutically - produced cannabidiol gel Transdermal Cannabidiol modulates multiple receptors and mediates numerous pathways, including the endocannabinoid pathway Potential utility in rare / near - rare neuropsychiatric conditions
6 • Rare genetic developmental disability • Leading known cause of both inherited intellectual disability and ASD • No approved drugs indicated for FXS • Symptoms linked to deficiencies in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) • Mutation impacts FMR1 gene and causes ECS dysregulation, causing core cognitive, social, and behavioral symptoms of FXS • Easily identified mutation manifests as multiple CGG repeats in FMR1 (full mutation = >200 repeats) • U.S. patents provide IP protection to 2038 • FMR1 gene codes for production of FMRP* which is vital to synapse development • Methylation of FMR1 also plays a role in determining functionality of the gene • When methylation of FMR1 silences the gene, no FMRP is produced: Systems and processes affected by FMRP become dysregulated • These patients are generally the most severely impacted by the disorder: lower IQ, more impacted behaviors • ~60% of patients are believed to fall into this category Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) *FMR Protein; RNA - binding protein that helps regulate synaptic development and plasticity Role of FMR1 Methylation FXS FXS is routinely diagnosed by assessing (1) CGG repeats and (2) methylation status ~40K U.S. patients ≥90% FMR1 methylation ~70K U.S. patients with full mutation FXS
CONNECT - FX Trial Design 7 C linical study O f Ca NN abidiol in Childr E n and Adoles C en T s with F ragile X (CONNECT - FX) Zygel (n=110; 92*) 250 mg daily 500 mg daily (weight - based dose) Placebo (n=102; 77*) Mirrored Zygel administration Two week placebo period, followed by 12 weeks of treatment Three through 17 years of age Open label extension (OLE) DBPC: Complete 24 months: Ongoing Patients randomized (1:1) to receive either Zygel or placebo * Patients with ≥90% FMR1 methylation (167 total ~ 80% of trial population) included in pre - planned ad hoc analyses
CONNECT - FX 8 • Primary endpoint: • Change from baseline to end of treatment in ABC - C FXS Social Avoidance subscale • Key secondary endpoints: • Change from baseline to end of the treatment in • ABC - C FXS Irritability subscale score • ABC - C FXS Socially Unresponsive/Lethargic subscale score • Improvement in Clinical Global Impression (CGI - I) at end of treatment, anchored to FXS behaviors • Aligned with FDA’s ‘Voice of the Patient’ Guidance • Captured qualitative data on clinical relevance of FXS behaviors Endpoints and Data Collected
9 9 CONNECT - FX Results: ≥90% FMR1 Methylation Consistent Improvements Observed with Zygel vs. Placebo Caregiver reported behavioral change Clinician reported improvements in behavior Clinically meaningful improvements in behavior Primary endpoint Caregiver Global Impression of Change Social interaction ( p =0.002*) Irritable/Disruptive Behaviors ( p =0.028*) Social Avoidance/Isolation ( p =0.038*) Overall behavior ( p =0.052) Clinically meaningful improvement on drug Significantly more pts achieved a clinically meaningful change in Social Avoidance ( p =0.031*) and Irritability ( p =0.036*) with Zygel Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (anchored)** Trend toward statistical significance ( p =0.056) ABC - C FXS Social Avoidance subscale 40% median percent improvement in socially avoidant behaviors ( p =0.020*) * Statistically significant ** Not specific to Social Avoidance Full data available in June 30, 2020; July 22, 2020; and October 15, 2020 press releases
CONNECT - FX: Safety 10 • Zygel was very well tolerated • No serious or severe adverse events reported during the trial • All treatment - emergent adverse events (TEAEs; any event, whether unrelated or related to study drug) were mild or moderate • Most common treatment - related TEAE: application site pain • Zygel: 6.4%; placebo: 1.0% • Seven total psychiatric disorder TEAEs; 5 were in placebo group • Laboratory values for chemistry and hematology comparable between placebo and Zygel groups; no clinically relevant abnormalities in either group • No clinically significant changes to liver function tests
The Path Forward For Zygel in FXS 11 • Zynerba plans to conduct a single double blind, placebo controlled pivotal trial in patients with a highly methylated FMR1 gene to confirm results seen in CONNECT - FX responders • If results are positive, we believe this trial will be sufficient to support an NDA submission • Primary endpoint will be the Social Avoidance subscale of the ABC - C FXS • Trial design and protocol development ongoing for planned confirmatory trial in CONNECT - FX responder population • Type C meeting with FDA expected in 1H21 to review trial design and protocol • Initiation of confirmatory trial is expected before the end of 2021 and timing will be clarified after Type C meeting Next Steps Regulatory Update
12 • Near - rare disorder • Symptoms include irritability; anxiety, restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior; impairments in social communication; deficits in verbal and non - verbal communication; deficits in developing, understanding and maintaining relationships • Most diagnosed after age 4; can be diagnosed as early as age 2 ௗ • Significant unmet medical need • Accelerating rate of diagnosis but only two FDA approved products; both atypical antipsychotics • Neither address the key symptoms of social impairment and anxiety • Results from clinical trials of Zygel suggest spectrum of activity against core behaviors • Newer studies suggest ASD is linked to disruption of the ECS • Altered anandamide signaling may contribute to ASD - related social and communication impairments • ECS system modulates many cellular functions and molecular pathways altered in ASD • Cannabidiol may modulate the EC system and improve certain autism - related behaviors • Evidence suggests that cannabidiol may improve social avoidance and anxiety Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Rationale for Developing Zygel in ASD ASD Recent U.S. patents provide IP protection to 2038 ~1M U.S. children and adolescents with ASD
