There is a significant need for blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing biotherapeutic platforms
13 GBD 2016 Neurology Collaborators Lancet Neurology (2019) *Includes peptides, ASO, and AAV; Does not include multiple sclerosis KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR BIOTHERAPEUTICS AND THE BRAIN
• Brains are surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that circulates and is turned over many times a day
• Directly injecting biotherapeutics into the brain faces major limitations • CSF flow into the brain is incomplete Mouse • Diffusion from a point of injection relies on Brownian motion (and is limited to a few mm) • Size matters: human brain is ~3,300x larger than mouse; direct injections are NOT SCALABLE
• The human brain has 400 miles of blood vessels Rat • Every neuron is near an associated capillary
• Blood vessels in the brain have a barrier (BBB)
• Ideal delivery approaches will utilize capillaries and Human cross the BBB for broad biodistribution to the brain • BBB crossing IS SCALABLE across species
14 WIDESPREAD BIODISTRIBUTION WITH BBB-CROSSING COMPARED TO LIMITED INTRATHECAL BIODISTRIBUTION
INTRATHECAL BIOTHERAPEUTIC INTRAVENOUS BBB-CROSSING BIOTHERAPEUTIC Limited distribution with sharp gradients at brain Widespread biodistribution dictated by capillary TfR and spinal cord CSF-contacting surfaces expression and CNS vascularity
Capillary TfR Sharp gradient expression limits brain facilitates biodistribution widespread biodistribution
CNS vascularity facilitates Sharp gradient widespread limits biodistribution biodistribution along the spinal cord

Neuronopathic MPSII
• Between 1 in 100,000 and 1 in 150,000 • X-linked disorder • 2/3 of boys in some way neuronopathic • No current specific treatment but for very early HSCT - infrequent • IV Elaprase used in this group to improve QOL without much evidence base and varies from country to country • Remains the greatest unmet need in MPSII
32 Neuronopathic MPSII
• Most (around 50%) of cases have progressive CNS disease with developmental delay, plateau and regression • 20-30% of boys will have a static neurological disease • Behavioural and sleep disturbance common • Supportive measures relatively poor • Poor relationship between the severity of somatic disease and that of CNS disease in MPSII
33 Intravenous Elaprase in neuronopathic MPSII
• Usually improvements in somatic manifestations • Improved growth • Significant benefits in general well being (less infections, less pain/stiffness) • No discernible effect on cognition or prevention of dementia • Probable positive effect on survival
(Barbara K. Burton, Virginie Jego, Jaromir Mikl & Simon A. Jones, JIMD. 2017)
34 Unmet needs in MPSII
• Central nervous system • Skeletal system • Heart valves • Airway (tracheal) disease • Heterogeneity and incomplete response to Elaprase • Prediction of phenotype
35 Role of Biomarkers
• Obvious biomarker for somatic disease is the stored glycosaminoglycans themselves
36 Muenzer et al 2011 Role of Biomarkers
• Total GAGs in urine lack sensitivity but also an ability to reflect the CNS storage burden • Direct GAG species in blood are now possible to measure but still not the brain • Direct GAG measurement in CSF (DS and HS) likely the most useful • Interpretation of these in terms of an intervention critically depend on the nature of the intervention
37 Clinical endpoints
• Neurocognitive endpoints – Consensus statements important • Behavioural/PROM/QOL important but poorly validated this far • Somatic endpoints – Spirometry – 6 minute walk test

60 ETV:IDS CONCLUSIONS
• DNL310 has the potential to treat the neurologic and physical manifestations of Hunter syndrome with a single IV therapeutic, replacing current SOC
• Newly identified biomarkers in Hunter animal models and patients connects GAG reduction to lysosomal rescue (lipid reduction), reduced neurodegeneration (Nf-L), and motor / cognitive improvement – Brain and CSF GAG levels are highly correlated – 50% reduction in GAG results in reduction of lysosomal lipids, reduction in Nf-L, and motor and behavioral benefits
• Step 1: Phase 1/2 interim safety and biomarker data on GAG reduction (end 2020): • Provides proof of TV-enabled biotherapeutics in humans • Triggers Phase 2/3 planning and pre-Phase 3 global regulatory meetings
• Step 2: Phase 1/2 final safety and biomarker data showing rescue of lysosomal function and reduction in Nf-L enables dose selection and go decision for Phase 2/3 (mid 2021)
• Step 3: Positive neurocognitive data from Phase 2/3 enables registration

• The TV platform has potential for broad applicability and is capable of delivering a range of therapeutics to the CNS
• TV technology can enhance activity for antibody targets – ATV:Aβ displays significantly improved engagement of plaques in mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease – ATV:TREM2 shows enhanced brain uptake and microglial activation compared to anti-TREM2 – ATV:HER2 displays improved anti-tumor activity and increased brain concentrations; potential for treatment of CNS metastases
• TV technology unlocks systemic delivery of enzymes, proteins, and oligonucleotides – ETV:SGSH reduces heparan sulfate accumulation in brains of mice; potential to accelerate this and other enzymes following clinical proof of concept for ETV:IDS – PTV:PGRN delivers PGRN to the lysosome and corrects BMP deficits in mice; IND is planned for late 2021/early 2022 – Collaboration initiated with Secarna to enable development of two OTV targets
