2 DISCLOSURES ADVISORY Intermune Celgene Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis

3 WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?

4 The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Crack-Up 1936

5 IPF Pathogenesis

6

7 ATS CONSENSUS STATEMENT FOR TREATMENT OF IPF …lack sufficient clinical evidence that any treatment improves survival or quality of life for patients with IPF Therapy is not indicated in all patients For appropriate patients, start therapy at first clinical or physiological evidence of impairment or documentation of decline in lung function

8 Potential Treatments for IPF and other fibrotic lung diseases Antifibrotic Activity Anti-inflammatory Interferon- 1b Pirfenidone Etanercept ACEIs Statins NAC Immunosuppressants Corticosteroids

9 THE CAPACITY OF PIRFENIDONE IN IPF

10 DESIGN OF CAPACITY TRIAL »Two concurrent, multi-national trials »Total 779 patients »CAPACITY 1 (PIPF-006) 344 patients –PFD 2403mg: Placebo (1:1) »CAPACITY 2 (PIPF-004) 435 patients –PFD 2403mg: Placebo: PFD 1197mg (2:2:1) »Primary endpoint: Change in percent predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 72 weeks (Rank ANCOVA) »Secondary endpoints –Measures of lung function, exercise tolerance, patient-reported outcomes, etc. –Primary analysis of secondary endpoints to be pooled (2403mg vs. placebo) if primary endpoint in both studies is met »Patients continue on study until last enrolled patient completes Week 72

14 CAPACITY TRIAL: Summary In the CAPACITY 1 study, the group receiving pirfenidone had a drop in their FVC over 72 weeks of 6.49% and the placebo group had a drop of 7.23%. There was no significant difference in the change in FVC between these 2 groups. In the CAPACITY 2 study, the group receiving regular dose pirfenidone had a drop in FVC over 72 weeks of 6.49% whereas the placebo group had a drop of 9.55% which was significantly different (pirfenidone group deteriorated less). In the CAPACITY 2 study, the pirfenidone group had significantly fewer events of disease progression (death or worsening breathing tests) than the placebo group. Next step: Await the FDAs response to InterMunes application for the use of Pirfenidone in patients with IPF.

17 BENCH TO BEDSIDE AND BEDSIDE TO BENCH In my laboratory at Stanford, we use samples from IPF lungs to help understand what causes IPF and to identify better treatments Fibroblasts are isolated from lungs of patients undergoing a biopsy for diagnosis of IPF or lung transplantation and analyzed in our laboratory We and others have discovered genes and pathways active in IPF which may help us understand why the lungs scar. Blocking these genes or pathways may lead to new treatments for IPF

18 SUMMARY IPF and other fibrotic lung diseases are processes which involve lung damage and formation of excessive scar in response to this damage Cause is unknown but likely represents a combination of genetic, environmental, aging, and unknown factors Many clinical trials of new therapies for IPF are ongoing and planned Pirfenidone in a Japanese and an American trial slowed disease progression, using decline in FVC as a surrogate Keep asking questions, remain hopeful, and let Congress know that more funding is needed!
