November 10-13, 2013

International Symposium on Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy

Clinical Updates on ALN-TTR Programs Patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and ALN-TTRsc for the Treatment of Transthyretin

Amyloidosis

RNA Interference (RNAi) A New Class of Innovative Medicines

RNAi Therapeutics Harness natural pathway

» Catalytic mechanism

» Mediated by small interfering RNAs or “siRNAs”

Treat disease with therapeutic gene silencing » Any gene in genome

2

Transthyretin (TTR) and ALN-TTR Program

Mutant TTR is genetic cause of ATTR Autosomal dominant with >100 defined mutations

Misfolds and forms amyloid deposits in nerves, heart, other tissues

Wild-type TTR also accumulates in amyloid plaques

» Limits benefits of liver transplantation

ALN-TTR siRNA suppresses hepatic production of mutant and WT TTR

RNAi Therapeutic Hypothesis

for Treatment of ATTR

Production of mutant and

wild type TTR

Neuropathy, cardiomyopathy

Organ deposition of monomers,

amyloid (β-pleated) fibril

Unstable circulating TTR

tetramers

Patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and ALN-

TTRsc act to knock down both mutant

and wild type TTR production

Neuropathy, cardiomyopathy

Stabilization and recovery,

Organ deposition of monomers,

amyloid (β-pleated) fibril

prevented, clearance

promoted

Unstable circulating TTR

tetramers reduced

Patisiran Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study

FAP patients dosed on Phase II trial eligible to roll over onto Phase II OLE study

Up to 2 years of dosing, with clinical endpoints evaluated every 6 months

» Clinical endpoints include those in APOLLO Phase III study

» Dosing at 0.30 mg/kg every 3 weeks

» After 2 years, patients may continue treatment on another extension study until

drug commercially available

Study objectives

» Primary: Safety and tolerability of long-term dosing with patisiran

» Secondary: Effects on neurologic impairment (mNIS+7), quality of life, mBMI,

disability, mobility, nerve fiber density in skin biopsies, and serum TTR levels

Status

» Open and enrolling

» Plan to report data once annually, beginning 2014

16

Phase III Trial of Patisiran in FAP Study Initiated

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, global study Sample size and randomization

» N=200

» 2:1, Patisiran vs Placebo

» Stratify for baseline NIS, early onset (age < 50) V30M vs all other mutations

(including late-onset V30M), prior tafamidis/diflunisal use vs no prior use

Key eligibility criteria » V30M and non-V30M FAP

» Baseline NIS 10-100 (FAP stages 1 and 2)

Treatment regimen » Patisiran 0.30 mg/kg vs Placebo IV q3 weeks x 18 months

» All completers eligible for patisiran treatment on Phase III OLE study

Primary Endpoint mNIS+7 at 18 months

Secondary Endpoints Norfolk QOL-DN, NIS-weakness, mBMI, timed 10-meter walk, COMPASS-31 autonomic

symptom score

Statistical Considerations Placebo mNIS+7 progression rate derived from natural history study of 283 FAP patients

Study with 90% power to detect as little as 37.5% difference in ΔmNIS+7 between

treatment groups with 2-sided alpha=0.05

Blinded interim analysis of variability planned for potential sample size re-estimation

ALN-TTRsc Phase I Study

Study Design Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled SAD and MAD

study in healthy volunteers » 3:1 randomization (ALN-TTRsc:Placebo)

» 4 subjects/cohort

» Cohort 1-4: single doses of 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/kg

» Cohort 5-7: multiple doses of 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/kg – Multi-dose schedule: Daily x 5, followed by weekly x 5

Primary Objective Evaluate safety and tolerability of subcutaneously administered

single and multiple doses of ALN-TTRsc

Secondary Objectives Assess clinical activity
