14 14 Rationale for Oral BDP Gastrointestinal involvement predicts the outcome of acute GVHD 1 Prednisone therapy effective but there are many complications from prolonged use Oral, topically active corticosteroids have been used safely and effectively in other inflammatory GI diseases 5056.01 1 Hill G and Ferrara J. Blood. 2000;95:2754-2759.

17 17 Development History 1991 Oral BDP development began (Investigator-Initiated IND) 1991 Development funded by FDA Orphan Drugs Division 1995 Phase 1 trial completed (Study 615) 1998 Phase 2 trial completed (Study 875) 1998 Orphan Indication Designation 1999 Ownership was transferred to Enteron Pharmaceuticals 2000 Fast Track Designation 2005 Pivotal Phase 3 trial completed under Special Protocol Assessment (SPA), Division of Gastrointestinal and Coagulation Drug Products (Study ENT 00-02) 2006 NDA 22-062 submitted September 21, 2006 5037.01

18 18 Study 875: Major Eligibility Criteria Inclusion –Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation –Signs and symptoms of GVHD  Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea –Biopsy-proven GVHD in GI mucosa –Absence of infection at baseline Exclusion –Severe skin or liver GVHD –Diarrhea > 1 L per day –Systemic corticosteroid use within 30 days 5059.01

21 21 Study 875: Endpoints Primary –GVHD treatment failure through Study Day 30  Eating < 70% of caloric requirements, or  Requiring additional immunosuppressive drugs for GVHD Secondary –GVHD treatment failure through Study Day 40 Safety –Adverse events related to study drug –Infectious complications 5061.01

26 26 Study 875: Conclusions Oral BDP significantly lowered treatment failure rates at the end of the 30-day treatment and 10-day follow-up –Greater proportion of patients able to eat ≥ 70% of their caloric requirements No significant safety issues –No difference in frequency of infections Proof of concept for design of pivotal trial (ENT 00-02) 5066.01

27 27 Study ENT 00-02: Design Considerations Similar inclusion/exclusion criteria to Study 875 Caloric intake not a feasible endpoint for multi-center trial Longer treatment period might improve efficacy –50-day treatment period (Study Day 50) Demonstrate durability of treatment effect –30 days after study drug discontinuation (Study Day 80) Transplant Day-200 survival as a safety endpoint Reviewed with FDA Division of Gastrointestinal and Coagulation Drug Products 5163.01

29 29 Study ENT 00-02: Endpoints Primary –Time to GVHD treatment failure through Study Day 50  Unresponsive or recurrent GVHD requiring additional immunosuppressive drugs Secondary –GVHD treatment failure rates at Study Days 10, 30, 50, 60, and 80 –Karnofsky performance score –Exposure to systemic corticosteroids Safety –Survival at 200 days post-transplant –Treatment-emergent adverse events –Laboratory values 5068.01

30 30 Study ENT 00-02: Design Planned sample size and power –130 subjects (65 per group) –49 GVHD treatment failures required –80% power to detect ≥55% reduction (HR=0.45) in risk of GVHD treatment failure during 50-day protocol treatment period –5% significance level, 2-sided –Log-rank test Randomization stratified –Study center –Donor type (HLA-matched sibling vs others) –Use of topical corticosteroids at baseline (Yes/No) 5069.01

31 31 Study ENT 00-02: Statistical Analysis Plan Original plan amended prior to database lock –Primary analysis would be stratified by donor type only Primary analysis for time-to-event endpoints –Kaplan-Meier method –Stratified log-rank test –5% significance level, 2-sided 5164.01

32 32 Study ENT 00-02: Statistical Issues Overall false-positive error rate spent on primary endpoint (p=0.118) No adjustment to the significance levels were specified in the analysis plan to control for inflation of the overall false- positive error rate due to multiple testing Retrospective adjustment of significance levels for analysis of secondary endpoints is considered not meaningful once the results are known Given the clinical importance of the secondary endpoints and post-hoc survival analyses, we are reporting these results to aid review. These inferential results have not been adjusted for multiplicity. 5070.01

62 62 Summary of Clinical Trial Results – Efficacy In patients with GI GVHD, an induction course of prednisone plus oral BDP resulted in durable, clinically meaningful reductions in GVHD treatment failure Study ENT 00-02 –37% reduction in risk of GVHD treatment failure by Study Day 50 (p=0.118) –46% reduction by Study Day 80 Study 875 –71% reduction in risk of GVHD treatment failure by Study Day 30 (p=0.021) –80% reduction by Study Day 40 5309.01

63 63 Summary of Clinical Trial Results – Survival Patients with GI GVHD randomized to BDP had meaningful reductions in mortality Study ENT 00-02 –46% reduction in mortality by 1 year post-randomization –BDP effect not diminished by covariates Study 875 –45% reduction in mortality by 1 year post-randomization 5310.01

66 66 Expected Clinical Benefits from Oral BDP BDP maintains GVHD in remission Decreased prednisone exposure Decreased prednisone adverse effects and preservation of immune function Better outcomes 5664.01

67 67 Benefit/RiskBenefit/Risk Oral BDP addresses an unmet medical need – control of gastrointestinal GVHD without protracted exposure to high-dose prednisone The clinical benefit from control of GVHD, avoidance of prednisone exposure, and improved survival were not accompanied by meaningful safety concerns Thus, the benefit-to-risk ratio is strongly in favor of benefit to a very ill population of patients 5313.01

68 68 Proposed Indication for orBec ® (oral BDP) orBec is indicated for the treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD) involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in conjunction with an induction course of high-dose prednisone or prednisolone 5040.01
