11 CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Registration Pathway
BMT CTN Study Conducted 2011 HDE Submitted CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Registration Pathway 1998 US MF Submitted 2010 DAP Finalized 2004 Pre-IDE Meeting 1997 CE marked 2005-HUD Designation Dec 2009 FDA pre-HDE meeting

12 Humanitarian Use Device
The device is designed to treat or diagnose a disease or condition that affects fewer than 4,000 individuals per year in the U.S. The device is not available otherwise, and there is no comparable device available to treat or diagnose the disease or condition; and The device will not expose patients to unreasonable or significant risk, and the benefits to health from the use outweigh the risks Clinical data must support “safety” and “probable benefit” argument Exempt from “effectiveness requirement” consistent with the HDE requirements

13 Clinical Trial Supporting the HUD Registration of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System*
Miltenyi supported a Phase II multi-center clinical trial sponsored by the BMT CTN (BB-IDE 11965) which enrolled 47 AML patients from October 2005-December 2008 Evaluated the use of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System for selecting CD34+ cells from HLA-matched related donors for allogeneic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative therapy in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in 1st or 2nd CR, without additional GVHD prophylaxis * Miltenyi provided material goods only in the support of this study. MBI has negotiated rights through the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) to cross reference the BMT CTN 0303 IDE submission for purposes of product registration

14 CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Proposed Humanitarian Use Indication
“Humanitarian Use Device: Authorized by U.S. Federal law for processing allogeneic HLA-matched hematopoietic progenitor cells-apheresis (HPC-A) from a related donor to obtain a CD34+ cell enriched population intended for hematopoietic reconstitution following a myeloablative preparative regimen without the need for additional graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or second morphologic complete remission”

16 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Most common leukemia diagnosis in adults1 U.S. incidence: ~ 12,330 new cases diagnosed annually Mortality is roughly 8,950 cases per year However, less than 2,500 patients progress to transplant Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the single most effective therapy currently available for the prevention of relapse and shows significant survival benefit in AML patients with intermediate and poor risk cytogenetics in first complete remission (CR1)2 Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), also known as acute myelogenous leukemia or acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, is a clonal malignant disease characterized by an over-proliferation in the myeloid stem cell compartment. This results in an accumulation of myeloid precursor cells in the blood and the bone marrow, arrested in an early stage of maturation. These immature and dysfunctional cells in the marrow interfere with normal hematopoiesis by inhibition of normal differentiation, which leads to suppression of the erythroid, myeloid and megakaryocytic series, resulting in bone marrow failure. Leukemic cells may also spread outside the blood and bone marrow, and invade other parts of the body, including the central nervous system, skin, gums, and testes. annual incidence rising from 3.8 cases per 100,000 to 17.9 cases per 100,000 adults aged 65 and older High mortality (also for younger adults, when untreated) / poor survival (5 year relative survival is 21% overall and decreasing with higher age) 1 8/26/10 2 Koreth, J et al. JAMA 2009 16

17 Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) Complicates Allogeneic Transplantation From Matched Related Donors (MRD)1-6 Reduced incidence of leukemic relapse and overall survival often not realized due to complications caused by GVHD Acute GVHD (aGVHD) risk is 35-45% 33-81% of these patients will develop chronic GVHD (cGVHD), resulting in post-transplant morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life Immunosuppressive agents used to prevent and treat aGVHD do not affect incidence of cGVHD Previous studies demonstrate that T cell depletion reduces the risk of severe acute and chronic GVHD 46 Ferrara JLM, et al: Graft-versus-host disease.

20 Chronic GVHD and Quality of Life
Quality of life (QoL) at 6 or 12 months is significantly worse in patients with acute or cGVHD after transplant1 QoL at 12 months improves unless cGVHD develops1 Significantly less patients return to work if they develop cGVHD after allogeneic transplantation2 Only 41% of patients with cGVHD return to work at 3 years, compared to 95% of patients without cGVHD2 1 Lee et al. BMT 2006; (38) 2 Wong et al. Blood. 2010; 115(12)

21 Chronic GVHD Treatment
The treatment of cGVHD with long-term corticosteroids increases the risk of cataract formation, avascular necrosis, and osteoporosis1 The 10-year survival is less than 5% for patients affected by severe cGVHD There are no effective options for the prevention or treatment of chronic GVHD 1 Horowitz, ME., and Sullivan, KM. Blood Reviews (2006); 20: 15–27

22 Unmet Medical Need Served by The CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System
The incidence and severity of GVHD are most effectively reduced by ex vivo T cell depletion (TCD) of the allograft There is currently no approved method for ex vivo TCD for allogeneic SCT in the United States If approved, the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System will be the only FDA approved method of CD34+ enrichment and passive TCD available

23 Clinical Study Rationale
Use of ex vivo T cell depletion (TCD) has been limited by logistical difficulties and variability in TCD methods lack of an FDA-approved method concerns regarding potential risk of graft rejection and leukemic relapse A multi-center trial of TCD in AML patients in complete remission (CR1/CR2) using standard eligibility criteria and a uniform method of TCD was warranted

37 The Manuscript Entitled: “Characteristics of CliniMACS® System CD34-Enriched T Cell-Depleted Grafts in a Multi-Center Trial for Acute Myeloid Leukemia-Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) Protocol 0303” has been submitted and accepted for publication by the peer reviewed journal, “Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation”    

38 Secondary Endpoint: CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Performance
Leukapheresis collections from a Matched Related Donor were performed in order to obtain a minimum of ≥ 2.0 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg Target of > 5.0 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg and < 1 x 105 CD3+ cells/kg Up to three collections were allowed to achieve the minimum CD34+ cell dose The CliniMACS® Tubing Sets (Standard or Large Scale) were used based on starting nucleated cell counts

39 Cellular Testing Requirements
Cell Viability (7-AAD), TNC and CD34+ cell content At product receipt After platelet and antibody wash On CliniMACS® CD34-enriched fraction CD3+ T cell content Other cellular testing on CliniMACS® CD34-enriched fraction only CD14+ monocytes CD19+ or CD20+ B cells CD56+ NK Cells Similar point is to identify testing requirements. Not on slide but will indicate that Flow was expected to have been validated and labs were to have participated in proficiency programs and be CLIA certified.

40 Donors and Products 47 patients enrolled, 44 proceeded to transplant
86 products collected Total lots (cells from one tubing set) assessed=84 Collections pooled for 2 patients 4 sites processed from 9 to 34 lots 4 sites processed ≤ 4 lots May not be needed, but sets stage for data

41 CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Post-Processing Performance N = 84
% CD34+ Recovery % CD34+ Purity Log10 TCD % Viability Mean 66.06 93.0 4.78 96.57 SD ±20.25 ±8.3 ±0.55 ±3.84 Min 29.9 61.5 3.2 74.0 Max 125.6 99.8 5.9 100.0 Overall outcome for all sites. Could be dropped.

42 Center to Center Statistical Analysis
Sites processing ≥ 9 lots compared individually (N=4) Sites processing ≤ 4 lots pooled (N=4) Multivariate analysis used a linear mixed effect model to account for repeated measures (≥ 2 lots for most patients) Pairwise center comparisons were performed with Tukey-Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons Not sure what Adam will present. This as much as I would be willing to say about the stats

43 Pre-Processing Cell Counts
We first looked to see if the starting products were similar for each of the groups and found that there were some differences in each of the parameters. The median TNC, CD34+ cells, and CD3+ cells were highest for center two at which the first two donors were mobilized using 16 mg/kg G-CSF initially required by the protocol. Subsequent donors were mobilized at 10 mg/kg. The figure shows the products that split. Viability by 7-AAD also differed between center 4 and most of the other centers by having more products with a lower viability. However, this center performed it’s analysis using a flow method that does not include wash steps, which is known to results in somewhat lower viability using 7-AAD, since dead cells are not washed away.

44 Post Processing Outcomes
Here the post processing outcomes are shown by center, and although some differences are seen these are mostly limited to a one or at most two centers. CD34 recovery was significantly lower for center 4 as compared to center 3 and 1, and center 1 had significantly higher recovery than center two, though this was clearly affected by the four lots that exceeded 100% recovery. Purity and log TCD were less variable, with very high purities achieved for most products with a few outliers at center 2, 4, and the combined Log TCD significantly differed only between center 3 and 4, and again viability was generally high, with the only significant difference seen for center 3 with a uniformly high viability near 100%. All centers were able to process grafts that met the study criteria

45 CD34+ Cells x 106/kg of Patient Weight Infused
CD34+/kg CD34+ Target Dose CD34+ Minimum Dose CD34 infused. Nicely shows that not only were the targets met, but they were mostly exceeded. I have not presented anything regarding the number of collections for each patient to achieve the doses, Figure that would be part of the clinical presentation, but let me know. All patients received the minimum CD34+ dose (> 2.0x106 cells/kg) 84.1% of patients received > 5 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg 45

46 Patient Weight Infused
CD3+ Cells x 105/kg of Patient Weight Infused CD3+/kg Upper limit of CD3+ dose This represent the cells infused. All final graft products were under the upper limit. No patients received more than 1.0x105 CD3+ cells/kg 46

47 Final Cellular Product Summary
Parameter Result Median CD34+ dose 7.92 x 106/kg Range x 106/kg Median CD3+ dose 0.7 x 104/kg 0.1 – 8.3 x 104/kg Median Log10 TCD 4.9 logs 3.2 – 5.9 logs The grafts contained a median of nearly 8e6 CD34+ cells/kg, with only 0.7e4 T cells. The products were sterile, as tested by gram stain and culture, with endotoxin below the detectable limits in all cases. No significant infusional related toxicities were observed. All gram stains/14 day cultures were negative All endotoxin < 5.0 EU/kg No significant infusion related toxicities observed

48 Conclusions - Secondary Endpoint CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Performance
All sites, and all products met and most exceeded study goals for: CD34+ cell infusion dose > 2 x 106/kg 84% met the goal of > 5 x 106/kg CD3+ cell infusion dose < 1 x 105/kg The performance of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System was stable and reproducible, resulting in a consistently high degree of CD34+ cell enrichment, T cell depletion and sterility in a multi-center setting

92 DAP Statistical Comparison Summary
The incidence of chronic GVHD at one year post-transplant was significantly lower for recipients of CD34+ enriched allografts (p= ) Between patients receiving CD34+ enriched versus unmanipulated grafts, there was no significant difference in: Platelet and Neutrophil Engraftment, Acute GVHD, DFS, OS, TRM, and Relapse Low numbers of CR2 patients in both cohorts make statistical comparisons of relapse inconclusive

93 The DAP results support a comparable safety profile for CD34+ enriched transplants as compared to patients receiving unmanipulated grafts and conventional GVHD prophylaxis but with a significant reduction in cGVHD DAP Conclusion

Overall Conclusions of Safety and Probable Benefit of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System

95 Performance and Safety Conclusions CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System
The CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System consistently produced a graft with > 2 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg and < 1 x 105 CD3+ cells/kg 84% of the grafts contained > 5 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg There was no significant difference between CD34+ enriched and unmanipulated allografts for: Platelet and Neutrophil Engraftment, Acute GVHD, DFS, OS, TRM, and Relapse While 0303 patients experienced more infectious episodes/patient (112/44 patients in 0303 versus 162/84 patients in 0101), these did not translate to higher infectious death rates (18.2% of deaths in 0101 vs. 20% in 0303) Increased incidence of EBV reactivation reports most likely due to stringent protocol specified monitoring of EBV in 0303

96 Probable Benefit Conclusions CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System
The CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System was shown to consistently yield CD34+ enriched, T cell depleted, sterile cellular grafts in a multi-center setting Low rates of both acute and chronic GVHD without the risks associated with traditional pharmacologic GVHD prophylaxis while maintaining consistent engraftment, excellent DFS and OS, low TRM, and a low incidence of relapse Significantly reduced incidence of chronic GVHD without compromising survival

97 Safety and Probable Benefit Objectives Met
The CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System is safe, and has a probable benefit in significantly reducing the incidence of chronic GVHD while eliminating the need for pharmacologic GVHD prophylaxis for AML patients in complete remission, undergoing PBSC transplantation from a matched related donor
