PPaaggee□□11 9 August 2024 IMPROVING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES NNZ-2591 Angelman syndrome Phase 2 trial top-line results Forward looking statements This presentation contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable at this time, Neuren can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Reasons may include risks associated with drug development and manufacture, risks inherent in the regulatory processes, delays in clinical trials, risks associated with patent protection, future capital needs or other general risks or factors. 2 Angelman syndrome (AS) overview Deletion or variation in the maternal allele of the UBE3A gene on chromosome 15 UBE3A protein plays a role in the formation, maintenance and function of dendrites and synapses Cause of the syndrome Broad and severe impact on life Intellectual impairment Behavioural issues Sleep disorders Seizures Language deficits Sucking or feeding difficulties Curvature of the spinal cord Hypopigmentation GI dysfunction (constipation) Motor delays Hand-flapping Ataxia Movement and balance disorder “It has impacted our lives in almost every aspect. Day-to-day challenges are always present. Rowan brings us incredible joy, and we are so happy to be his parents. We are no longer saving for college but saving for Rowan’s long-term care, legal navigating, and learning about special needs trusts. We need to find ways to protect and care for Rowan for the rest of his life, even after we are gone…Rowan not being able to tell us how his day was, or if he doesn’t feel right. Wanting to make sure he has friends and is included in social settings. We don’t want him to be left behind because of his diagnosis.”1 “When I got the call about his diagnosis while I was at work, I immediately started looking up information online to learn about Angelman syndrome, as we had never heard of it before. I looked at the possibilities and what to expect, and I was devastated and torn-up inside… we can and will do whatever we can to make sure Drew reaches his maximum potential, whatever that might be.” 2 Patients stories 3 1 https://unitedbrainassociation.org/2021/03/23/rowan-smiths-brain-story 2 https://globalgenes.org/story/journey-towards-a-diagnosis-diagnosing-a-rare-form-of-angelman-syndrome/ Consistent efficacy observed for NNZ-2591 in Ube3am-/p+ mouse model of AS 4 Hypoactivity & anxiety Daily living CognitionSociability Motor Daily living Phase 2 clinical trial results highlights 5 • NNZ-2591 was safe and well tolerated, with no serious adverse events and no meaningful trends in laboratory values or other safety parameters during treatment • Clinician and caregiver global efficacy measures specifically designed for AS showed a level of improvement from baseline that was statistically significant1 and considered clinically meaningful: • AS Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) - mean score of 3.0, with 11 out of 13 children showing improvement assessed by clinicians (p=0.0010) • AS Caregiver Overall Impression of Change (CIC) – mean score of 3.2, with 8 out of 12 children showing improvement assessed by caregivers (p=0.0273) • Every child in the younger age segment of 3-12 years showed improvement measured by both the CGI-I (mean score 2.8 p=0.0078) and the CIC (mean score 2.6 p=0.0078) • Improvements were seen in clinically important aspects of Angelman syndrome, including communication, behavior, cognition and motor abilities • Results further strengthen confidence in potential of NNZ-2591 for multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, independent of origin of underlying genetics 1 Wilcoxon signed rank test p<0.05 Phase 2 Clinical Trial Design 6 Neuren’s Phase 2 trial in children with Angelman syndrome 7 Screening /Baseline Week 4 Up-titration to 12 mg/kg BID Week 17 Follow-up Week 19 Week 10 NNZ-2591 treatment Week 0 3 AU sites: Austin Health, Sydney Children’s Hospital, Children’s Health Queensland Hospital 16 subjects, age 4-17 Primary endpoints A range of efficacy measurements, including measures specifically designed for AS and measures used in other developmental conditions Key global measures specifically designed for AS: CGI-I, CIC and CGI-S Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley-4) included as exploratory efficacy measures, although designed to measure outcomes over a longer time period than the duration of this trial.
