Mission Renovacor’s mission is to deliver innovative precision therapies to improve the lives of patients and families battling genetically-driven cardiovascular and mechanistically-related diseases Leverage the knowledge of the underlying genetic mechanisms of disease to create transformative novel therapies Focus near-term on BAG3 dilated cardiomyopathy (BAG3 DCM) AAV gene therapy, which targets the underlying cause of this devastating monogenic form of heart failure Translate advances in rare disease populations to more prevalent populations where the unmet medical need is high


Slide 4

Cardiovascular Disease is the #1 Cause of Death Worldwide1 Cardiomyopathy Primary disease of the heart muscle and a major contributor to burden of cardiovascular disease Global mortality 300,000 in 2019 was up 43% from 19902 Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) Decrease in contractility causes heart’s pumping chambers to enlarge Most common form of cardiomyopathy Familial DCM 20-50% of DCM patients; up to 40% have identifiable genetic cause2 Scientific societies recently endorsed clinical genetic testing for DCM patients and families3,4 BAG3 DCM Mutations in BCL2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) gene are among the more common pathogenic genetic variants observed in DCM5 BAG3 expression is markedly diminished in patients with severe ischemic or nonischemic DCM6 Currently approved therapies do not address the underlying cause of disease 4.

Slide 5

Precision Medicine is Changing the Treatment Paradigm for Patients and Families with Cardiovascular Disease “Precision medicine strives to delineate disease using multiple data sources…By defining disease at a deeper level, we can treat patients based on an understanding of the molecular underpinnings of their presentations, rather than grouping patients into broad categories with one-size-fits-all treatments.” - Dainis and Ashley 20183 Advantages of precision medicine for heart failure (HF) Seeks to address underlying cause to deliver greater therapeutic benefit compared to current standard-of-care. Addressing the personal & financial burden of multiple HF medications (avg. of ≥3/patient),1 implanted devices, and heart transplant Expected to eliminate the need for large (>8,000) patient studies2. By focusing on segments of the HF patient population most likely to benefit Focus on endpoints that we believe are most important to patients. Emphasizing improvements in quality of life 1.

Slide 6

BAG3 DCM is a Devastating Disease BAG3 DCM presents in otherwise healthy individuals and rapidly progresses Caused by a genetic defect in the BAG3 gene Cardiovascular health is dependent on adequate levels of functional BAG3 protein BAG3 mutations typically lead to reduced BAG3 protein levels 80% penetrance at >40 years of age1 At diagnosis, 68% symptomatic, 20% severely symptomatic with heart failure1 Patients have significant limitations on their activities of daily living, such as employment, walking, attending to personal care, etc. Severely symptomatic patients are frequently hospitalized for acute decompensation2 High risk of progression to end stage disease 19% require mechanical cardiac support, heart transplant, or have HF-related death at 12 months after diagnosis, nearly twice the rate of similarly staged non-BAG3 DCM patients1,3,4 Currently approved therapies do not address the underlying cause of disease 1.

Slide 7

Local (retrograde coronary sinus infusion, or RCSI) delivery allows lower total dose Reduces potential for various vector toxicities May reduce burden on manufacturing We believe monogenic diseases with well understood biology are ideal targets for AAV GTxs Targeting disease with known genetic origin BAG3 mutations well-documented as driver in DCM Goal is to increase BAG3 levels in DCM subjects Non-immunogenic one-time human BAG3 payload Therapeutic payload is human BAG3 gene DCM patients are haploinsufficient and produce low levels of native BAG3; therefore, the protein is not foreign and should not elicit an immune response Utilizes validated AAV9 capsid AAV9 currently used in one approved therapy (Zolgensma) and widely in clinical trials AAV9 has demonstrated cardiac tropism Has high transduction efficiency Non-integrative vector We Believe Renovacor’s REN-001 is Well Positioned for Success REN-001 is designed to directly address the underlying cause of BAG3 DCM by potentially increasing levels of functional BAG3 protein in the heart GTx: gene therapy

Slide 11

BAG3 Regulates Multiple Important Functions in Cardiomyocytes Sources: Knezevic et al., 2016; Myers et al., 2018 Enhances contractility by linking the β-adrenergic receptor and L-type Ca2+ channel Cardiac contractility Provides support for the sarcomere by linking actin myofibrils with the Z-disc Structural support Facilitates autophagy as a co-chaperone with heat shock proteins, recycling misfolded proteins Protein quality control Inhibits apoptosis (programmed cell death) through binding of BCL2 Anti-apoptosis We believe that a gene therapy approach is best positioned to restore the broad biological functions of BAG3 in the heart


Slide 12

Mutations in BAG3 Reduce Levels of Protein and are Associated with Reduced Force Generating Capacity in Heart Tissue from DCM Patients DCM patient with BAG3 mutation >80% of BAG3 DCM patients had mutations causing haploinsufficiency, resulting in reduced levels of BAG3 protein 1 Red staining shows BAG3 protein in cardiac tissue Healthy control 1. Domínguez et al., JACC, 2018; 2. Martin et al., Nature Communications, 2021 REN-001’s goal is to increase expression of BAG3 in the heart and correct the underlying disease biology in BAG3 DCM patients Most BAG3 mutations in DCM cause reduced levels of BAG3 protein Lower Higher BAG3 expression quartiles 1st 2nd 3rd 4th * Patients with idiopathic DCM Lower levels of BAG3 are associated with reduced contractility in DCM patients Myofilament maximum force generating capacity (Fmax) in DCM patient tissue * BAG3 levels in DCM patients are positively correlated with force generating capacity 2

Renovacor’s Approach to Cardiac Delivery Retrograde coronary sinus infusion (RCSI) Overview of RCSI Coronary sinus (CS) - confluence of veins draining heart into right atrium Routine procedure for placement of left ventricular pacemaker leads during cardiac resynchronization Emerging route of administration in cardiac gene therapy studies   Potential advantages of RCSI Leverages currently used clinical procedure and equipment Ability to transduce heart using much lower doses of AAV Potential to maximize exposure of heart to AAV Reduced potential for various vector toxicities Additional potential benefits (e.g., manufacturing) REN-001 is delivered into the coronary sinus using a catheter Coronary sinus Source: Medical gallery of Blausen Medical 2014


Slide 15

RCSI Drives Successful Cardiac Transduction Above Key VCN Threshold at Doses <1e13 vg/kg Delivery of REN-001 via RCSI results in sufficient transduction of a large animal heart Medium and high doses (<1e13 vg/kg) drive transduction above key VCN threshold of 1 (>1 copy of the gene in each cell) No safety issues detected Results informed design of ongoing GLP-toxicology and biodistribution study in healthy pig model Expect inclusion in IND data package VCN >1 seen in pig heart model with REN-001 doses <1e13 vg/kg Notes: VCN data are an average of 18 tissue sections taken per heart and assume 8 nuclei in each cardiomyocyte (pig cardiomyocytes become multinucleated, with up to 16 nuclei per cell by 6 months; Velayuthan et al., J Mol Cell Cardiology, 2020); sample sizes: low dose (n=4), medium dose (n=2) and high dose (n=1). All doses were <1e13 vg/kg. Key takeaways VCN: vector copy number


Slide 16

Renovacor’s Mission in Action with Lead BAG3 DCM Program Identify a condition with a high unmet need. Global mortality from cardiomyopathy and myocarditis was 300,000 in 2019 1 Segment patients into subtypes based on the underlying cause of their disease to enable a precision medicine approach that can improve upon the standard-of-care Focus on a disease subtype with a well understood monogenic origin. BAG3 DCM: Caused by reduced levels of BAG3 protein due to truncating mutations Designed REN-001 to directly address the underlying cause of BAG3 DCM. Utilizes a validated AAV9 capsid to deliver a functional copy of the BAG3 gene to cardiac cells Demonstrate preclinical POC in a model that we believe accurately recapitulates human disease. Prevented onset of cardiac impairment with AAV9-BAG3 in genetic disease model of BAG3-DCM Successful cardiac transduction with REN-001 delivered via RCSI at low vector dose. Local delivery may reduce potential vector-related toxicity as well as manufacturing burden 1.
