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

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,

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 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
