Parkinson’s Disease is a Progressive Neurodegenerative Disease Affecting ~1M People in the U.S.

Overview

Parkinson's disease results from the loss of cells in various parts of the brain, including the substantia nigra

The substantia nigra cells produce dopamine, a chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals within the brain that allow for coordination of movement

Loss of dopamine causes neurons to fire without normal control, leaving patients less able to direct or control their movement

There are currently no disease modifying therapies

Symptoms

Cardinal symptoms are tremor, bradykinesia (slow/difficult movement), rigidity, and postural instability (falling); also have hunched posture, limited/absent facial expression, difficulty swallowing

Non-motor symptoms include sweating, excess salivation, postural hypotension, supine hypertension, sleep disturbances, and later mental/cognitive changes including dementia and psychosis

Incidence

~1 million patients in the US

~4 to 6 million patients worldwide

Incidence estimated to double by 2030 as a result of the aging population

Average age at diagnosis 60 years; however diagnosis can be as early as under 40 years

At age 60, ~1% PD incidence increasing to ~4% at age 80

Patients can live 20 years following diagnosis

Four Types of OFF Episodes

• Lack of dopaminergic drugs overnight results in depleted dopamine reserves in the brain and delayed or insufficient response to first morning levodopa dose

Morning OFF (most difficult to treat)

• Delayed ON occurs when a patient takes a dose of levodopa, but does not achieve ON in the usual time frame

• Partial ON occurs when a patient experiences some improvement in motor function but not enough to be able to perform their daily activities

• Dose failure occurs if the patient does not experience any response to levodopa

Delayed ON/Partial ON/Dose failure

• Sub-therapeutic levels of levodopa prior to next scheduled dose

End of Dose Wearing OFF

• Occurs in the ON state without warning and at unexpected times

Unpredictable OFF

14

Apomorphine can

effectively convert all

types of OFF episodes to

ON(1)

OFF Episodes Broken Down Into Two Parts:Turning ON and Wearing OFF(1)

Time to ON: the latency from taking a levodopa dose until the patient turns on

Wearing OFF: the time from termination of the beneficial effect of the dose until the time when the next dose is taken

Significant Unmet Medical Need Translates Into Sizeable Addressable Patient Population Looking for Convenient and Efficacious Therapy

The OFF Market is Large with Prevalence of PD Increasing

"Characterizing motor and non-motor aspects of early-morning off periods in Parkinson's disease: An international multicenter study,” 2014(3) Estimates are based on management beliefs and publicly available research. See “Risk Factors—The market for our product candidate may not be as large as we expect”

Recent Michael J. Fox Foundation Survey of 3,000 Parkinson's patients found that 90% suffer OFF episodes and that 65% suffer at

least 2 hours OFF daily

• Of addressable population of ~400,000 patients:

‐ ~20% are considered mild (experiencing one OFF episode per day)

‐ ~55% are moderate (experiencing two OFF episodes per day)

‐ ~25% are advanced (experiencing three or more OFF episodes per day)

Commercialization Strategy

• ~100 targeted sales representatives will focus on high-prescribing general neurologists and ~1,200 movement disorder specialists in the U.S.

• Potential for ex-U.S. development/ commercial partner(s)

16

• If 30% of addressable patients use APL-130277 for morning OFF, an estimated 48 million strips would be used annually

• If 50% of these patients use an additional strip daily, 72 million strips would be used annually

• If 25% use a third strip, 84 million strips would be used annually

• Turning ON medication

‐ Designed to rapidly convert all types of OFF episodes to ON

• Sublingual delivery of apomorphine

‐ Can be used anywhere with little or no assistance required for many patients

‐ Unique bilayer avoids local irritation

• Primarily targets D1 and D2 receptors

• Dosed in 110 subjects and patients across five clinical trials

Benefits of Sublingual Administration

Subcutaneous Administration

• Painful to use; injection may cause scarring and injection site reactions

• Complex administration requires 15 steps

• Inconvenient

• Steep slope - blood levels can peak too quickly resulting in nausea, vomiting, and hypotension

• Indicated only for advanced patients, unpredictable OFF and dose wearing OFF

Sublingual Administration

• Painless

• Easy to use

• Convenient

• Extended half-life designed to improve efficacy

• Rounded slope lends itself to more stable ON time and a potential muting of dopaminergic adverse events

• Seeking expanded indication to include all PD patients and all OFF episodes
