1 Hexvix®/Cysview®: A Novel, Unique Photodynamic Diagnostic Agent that Improves Lives for Patients with Bladder Cancer

2 Bladder Cancer Background
Bladder cancer epidemiology (US): 5th most common cancer type 75,000 new cases in 2012 14,680 deaths in 2012 >560,000 people living with a diagnosis of bladder cancer 70% of patients are diagnosed with Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) 70% Ta 20% T1 5 -10% CIS 70% of the patients with Bladder cancer are Medicare beneficiaries. References: SEER stats Fact Sheet: Bladder, National Cancer institute SEER accessed June 2013

3 Medical Need to Improve Bladder Cancer Detection
High risk of Recurrence of NMIBC Up to 61% at 1 year Up to 78% at 5 years Progression to muscle-invasive disease Up to 17% at 1 year Up to 45% at 5 years Common in patients with CIS, which are often difficult to detect High rate of residual tumor after TURB 34–76% of patients have evidence of tumor on repeat TURB at 2–6 weeks Patients with incomplete initial resection are at high risk of recurrence, which may be due to: Continued growth of microscopic lesions which were not observed at initial TURB New growth of small residual traces of tumor, often at margins The highest cost of all cancers From diagnosis to death per patient ranging from $96,000 - $187,000 in the US NMIBC: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer CIS: Carcinoma in situ TURBT: Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor References: Sylvester RJ et al.

4 Hexvix Blue Light Cystoscopy Diagnosis of NMIBC
Definition of “clinical precision”? - Equipment is specialized. Hexvix is equipment and drug. A mayor development and a great opportunity for the doctor – and society!

6 Hexvix Body of Clinical Evidence
Hexvix has been extensively studied to investigate improvement in detection of bladder tumors versus white-light cystoscopy 5 multi-center phase III trials in the USA, Canada and Europe >1,800 patients with known or suspected bladder cancer Hexvix cystoscopy: Significantly improves detection of papillary tumors in 16-29% of patients Significantly improves detection of patients with CIS tumors by 32% Detects 96% of all tumors Improves tumor resection Significantly reduces tumor recurrence Results in the more appropriate treatment compared to White Light Cystoscopy Detects 30% more patients with bladder cancer References: Schmidbauer J, Witjes F, Schmeller N, Donat R, Susani M, Marberger M.

7 Hexvix Diagnostic Improvement Results in Better Outcomes
A clinical trial in 551 patients, demonstrates a significant improvement in both short and long term bladder cancer recurrence free survival Trend toward less progression and improved bladder preservation Positive Resource Impact with Hexvix Hexvix patients cost 15% less over five years as compared to white light patients Total average cost per patient $30,581 white light , $25,921 Hexvix Hexvix blue-light cystoscopy Trend towards less evasive muscle invasive disease.
