▪ Cardiovascular indications that can benefit from angiogenic therapy also include:
▪ Acute myocardial infarction
▪ Chronic heart failure/angina
▪ Vascular injury – inhibition of neointimal formation after balloon angiography
▪ Peripheral artery disease
▪ Ischemia is a major contributing factor to slow/ineffective wound healing in:
▪ Burn wounds
▪ Grafts
▪ Diabetic foot ulcers
▪ Pressure ulcers
▪ Acute wounds in the elderly (e.g. pretibial lacerations)
▪ Increased angiogenesis may increase the rate of wound healing in all of the above, plus:
▪ Graft donor sites
▪ Complicated laparotomy closure

Dermal Tolerability and Wound Healing Studies in Pigs
▪ Pig skin architecture and healing processes are similar to those in humans, which make pigs one of the best animal models for wound healing and skin tolerability studies
▪ GLP local tolerability and wound healing study in Farm Pigs▪ Six MRG-110 treated pigs and 2 control pigs each received eight 2.5 x 2.5 cm full thickness
wounds on the back
▪ 3, 12, 48 mg/wound intradermally per dose day compared to no treatment except dressing changes (SOC) and vehicle treated wounds
▪ Wounds were treated 3 times a week for 2 weeks then followed to complete wound closure at Day 49
▪ All doses were well-tolerated and led to improved wound healing as assessed by histology, wound closure measurements, and laser Doppler.

MRG-110 Improves Wound Perfusion and Rate of Wound Closure in Healthy Farm Pigs
Wound Perfusion
▪ MRG-110 improved perfusion as assessed by laser Doppler imaging at day 14 for all 3 doses
▪ On Day 35, complete wound closure was achieved in 7 of 12 wounds (58%) with low dose MRG-110 compared
to 0 of 8 (0%) Standard of Care (wound dressing changes only) and 1 of 8 (12%) vehicle control treated wounds
▪ All doses appeared active suggesting low dose (3 mg/wound; ~2 mg/cm2) is at the top of dose response curve

▪ MRG-110 is safe and generally well-tolerated when given as a single intravenous dose up to 1.5 mg/kg ▪ No dose-related effect on the occurrence of EAEs, and no clinically significant abnormal
values were observed in the MRG-110 treatment group for biochemistry, hematology, coagulation, complement activation, safety biomarkers, urine chemistry, urine biochemistry, vital signs, or ECG
▪ MRG-110 is safe and generally well-tolerated when given as 3 weekly intradermal doses up to 4.5 mg/dose (0.08 mg/kg per dose in a 60 kg person)▪ No drug-related SAEs observed
▪ Incidence of AEs in SAD and MAD parts were similar between Placebo and MRG-110/Saline treatment groups

▪ Saline injected, contralateral wounds on MRG-110 treated subjects show dose responsive inhibition of miR-92a detection by qPCR in biopsies collected on Day 11, which is not seen with miR-191-5p
▪ MRG-110 PK data shows Tmax in systemic circulation is between 30 min and 1 hour post intradermal dosing around the two MRG-110 treated wounds
▪ A 4.5 mg total MRG-110 dose (~0.08 mg/kg in a 60 Kg person) is sufficient to provide systemic drug levels ( Cmax ~142 ng/mL; AUC ~582 ng*hr/mL) capable of inhibiting miR-92a detection in contralateral wound sites

P-value calculated using Kruskal-Wallis test for main effect with post-hoc assessment performed using Dunn’s
multiple comparisons test compared to placebo. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.

▪ Mean granulation tissue area is significantly decreased in treated subjects Saline and MRG-110 treated wounds on Day 11 compared to Placebo subjects’ wounds
▪ Delayed granulation tissue formation may be related to the MRG-110 meditated decrease in α-SMA positive myofibroblasts which are predominant source of type I collagen and fibrogenic/inflammatory cytokines
▪ Delayed kinetics of granulation tissue formation was not detrimental to achieving full wound closure or appropriate collagen maturation
MRG-110 Mediated Decrease in -SMA+ Myofibroblasts May Reduce Occurrence of Over-granulation in Deep Dermal/Full Thickness Wounds

▪ MRG-110 is safe and generally well-tolerated when given as a single intravenous dose up to 1.5 mg/kg or as 3 weekly intradermal doses up to 4.5 mg/dose (0.08 mg/kg per dose in a 60 kg person)
▪ In small, acute wounds on normal healthy volunteers, single and multiple doses of MRG-110 appeared to:▪ Systemically recirculate to a placebo treated contralateral wound
▪ Increase angiogenesis as assessed by CD31 immunostaining
▪ Increase peri-wound perfusion, as assessed by non-invasive Laser Speckle Perfusion Imaging
▪ Increase CD49e (ITGA5) expression, as assessed by immunostaining
▪ Reduce -SMA expression, as assessed by immunostaining
▪ These data support moving forward in cutaneous wounds of varying etiology where increased perfusion may result in improved wound closure and reduced -SMA expression may reduce scar formation and contracture as well as cardiovascular indications where enhanced vascularization would be beneficial
