CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 8 CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION Development Plan - Erythromelalgia

 

 

CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 9 Sodium channels are our bodies “electrical circuits” Non - selective (e.g. carbamazepine) block all of the NaV channel subtypes

 

 

CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 10 Why is NaV1.7 a Good Target for Pain Treatment? Insensitivity to Pain Lack of NaV 1.7 (Rare condition initially described in family from Pakistan) Severe Pain Excessive NaV 1.7 activity (e.g. Erythromelalgia) Genetic validation suggests that suppressing NaV 1.7 is an attractive pharmacological target for pain management Congenital Insensitivity to Pain Spectrum of NaV1.7 Activity Severe Pain

 

 

CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 11 CC8464 – Development Status Preclinical • Potent ( nM ) inhibitor of human NaV1.7; Subtype selective • Demonstrated in vivo efficacy in several rodent models of pain: Acute, chronic neuropathic, inflammatory, visceral and post - surg ical • No CNS and muscle/motor dysfunction effects CMC • Drug Substance: scaled up, cGMP API available • Drug Product: tablet (active, 3 strengths and placebo) available for Phase 2. Potency verification to be confirmed. Tox • Did not exhibit genotoxicity • Tox data supports up to 3 - month dosing in human clinical trials Clinical • Phase 1 completed • Occurrence of rashes may be addressed with gradual dose - escalation protocols • Clinical data supports a Proof of Concept (“POC”) EM study • Seek orphan drug designation and apply for breakthrough status

 

 

CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 12 Erythromelalgia Clinical – Overview Symptoms Erythema (heat), Pain (Usually severe burning pain but may include pins and needles or itching), Swelling, Change in perspira tio n and discoloration Types of EM Primary EM (Inherited or Sporadic SCN9A mutations + non genetic or uncharacterized) or Secondary EM (Related to an underlying disease, toxin or drug induced) Treatment No known currently approved treatments and off - label treatments often ineffective Prevalence Estimated between 4,000 – 50,000 EM patients in the US with patents covering approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide Neurovascular condition affecting the feet, hands, face, or other parts of the body triggered by warmth, physical activity or stress Intolerance to exercise, warm baths/showers and clothing In severe cases, the disease may lead to depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies .

 

 

CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 13 Phase 1 Results / Dose - Escalation Study Phase 1 Results • No significant dose related trends or apparent differences compared to placebo in laboratory assessments, vital signs or ECG and no dose escalation stopping criteria were met • A moderate drug - induced rash in 6 of 159 subjects (4%), was the only clinically significant dose limiting safety finding • Following detailed review and discussions with dermatology experts and the FDA, we proposed a gradual dose escalation regime and the FDA accepted o Occurrence of rashes is a common side effect in this class of drugs o Marketed drugs with rash Adverse Event have reduced the incidence rate by up to 75% by administering with dose escalation ( e.g Lamotrigine (GSK); Oxcarbazepine/ Oxtellar XR, an FDA approved treatment for epilepsy patients) Anticipated Dose Escalation Study Goal is to demonstrate that dose escalation regime decrease occurrence of rashes Screening - 42 to - 1 days 25 mg QD 50 mg QD 100mg (50 mg BID) 200 mg (100 mg BID) 400mg (200 mg BID) 800mg (400 mg BID) Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 8 Week 7 Week 6 Week 4 Week 5 We Expect the Occurrence of Rashes to be Addressed with a Gradual Dose Escalation Regime

A Randomized, Double - blind, crossover study of CC8464 and placebo in the treatment of Primary Inherited SCN9A mutated Erythromelalgia Screening Randomization CC8464 CC8464 Placebo Placebo Washout (10 Days) Follow - Up • N = approximately 20 (current plan, may be adjusted) • Flare induction after each dose • Primary endpoint is reduction of pain during flare • Secondary endpoints include additional pain endpoints, neuropathy scores, and time to flare

 

 

CHROMOCELL THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION 15 Phase 2a POC Design and Endpoints* Strategy and Endpoints Our strategy sets two key goals for the Phase 2a POC study with CC8464: • Obtain results validating CC8464 as a viable therapeutic for genetically - validated EM patients • Validate CC8464 and its blockage of NaV1.7 as a therapeutic for larger indications (patients with secondary EM and potentiall y o ther types of neuropathic pain) Primary Endpoint for POC Study • Show pain reduction in genetically - validated EM patients Secondary Endpoints for POC Study • Show pain reduction in larger population, including patients with secondary EM (not genetically - validated) • The secondary endpoint will provide support that CC8464 may be developed for additional pain indications * The Company is planning to conduct a Phase 2 a study and the concept presented herein remains subject to change .
