1 Russ Trenary President & CEO
Caution: Investigational device in the U.S.  Limited by Federal Law to Investigational Use.

2 InnFocus Update 1) Define the winning formula 2) Clinical results 3) Status of our US IDE

3 Our Goal Provide a safe, effective, easy to perform, cost effective, alternative for surgical treatment of Glaucoma. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma is our first area of investigation.

4 Requirements for success
A proven drainage path that provides for IOP ≤ 14 mmHg A very inert biomaterial to minimize foreign body reaction A shunt design that will remain patent, prevent chronic hypotony, leakage, or migration An antiproliferative drug to minimize the initial surgical insult

5 The Winning Key is the SIBS Material
There is one stretchy biomaterial that will not provoke scar tissue in the eye Poly(styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene) “SIBS” SIBS is ultra-stable and will not degrade in the body No degradation means no chronic inflammation and minimal scar SIBS is used on drug eluting coronary stents (TAXUS) Twelve-year history of use in the body Licensed from BSC for use in the eye

6 Excellent material but what about shunt design?
Make the device thin and soft to conform to the curvature of the eye. Make the lumen sufficiently large to allow cells to pass yet small and long enough to prevent hypotony. Add a fin to prevent migration and leakage around the outside of the tube.

11 Clinical study Baseline Characteristics: Dominican Republic and France
35 POAG eyes All failed maximum tolerated medication Implanted 23 MicroShunts™ only, and 12 combined with cataract surgery Baseline IOP = 23.8 ± 5.3 mmHg Baseline meds per patient = 2.8 ± 1.2

12 Change in IOP with time for the InnFocus MicroShunt™ Combined data for Dominican Republic and France
Baseline IOP = 23.8 ± 5.3 mmHg Average long-term IOP = 11.3 ± 3.2 mmHg AGIS zone for no progression of vision loss Courtesy Dr. Juan Batlle and Dr. Isabelle Riss

13 Conclusions from Studies in Dominican Republic and France; Data out to 2 Years
IOP reduction of 55% from baseline to 11.3 ± 3.2 mmHg 82% of eyes with IOP ≤ 14 mmHg 89% reduction in glaucoma meds to 0.3 med/patient 89% of patients entirely off glaucoma meds Transient hypotony < 5 mmHg after Day 1 = 12% all resolved spontaneously No long-term sight-threatening adverse events No cases of endophthalmitis, chronic hypotony, choroidal hemorrhage Easy to perform and quick alternative to tube or trabeculectomy procedures

14 Meeting requirements for success in OUS studies?
√ A proven drainage path that provides for IOP ≤ 14 mmHg √ A very inert biomaterial to minimize foreign body reaction √ A shunt design that will remain patent, prevent chronic hypotony, leakage, or migration √ An antiproliferative drug to minimize the initial surgical insult

15 US IDE Study Design Prospective, randomized, controlled, masked, multicenter study Phakic and pseudophakic stratified Two study groups test group is InnFocus MicroShunt™ with MMC control group is trabeculectomy with MMC Two phases with two year follow-up
