2 Avacopan (CCX168) Small molecule, orally administered Highly selecgve C5aR inhibitor Prevented MPO- ANCA mediated GlomerulonephriGs in C5aR Knock- In Mouse Model (Xiao et al. J Am Soc Nephrol 2014)

3 CLEAR Avacopan (CCX168), selecgve C5a receptor inhibitor, p.o. à Could Avacopan replace oral GC without compromising efficacy? Randomized, double- blind, placebo- controlled trial in Europe Newly- diagnosed or relapsing ANCA- associated vasculigs Jayne, JASN 2017

4 67 pagents 12- week treatment with avacopan or placebo add on SOC 12- week follow- up CLEAR Three treatment groups: Control: Placebo twice daily + RTX/CYC + Full Dose Prednisone (60 mg/day) 30 mg avacopan twice daily + RTX/CYC + Low Dose Prednisone (20 mg/day) 30 mg avacopan twice daily + RTX/CYC + No Prednisone (Placebo) CYC regimen: 15 mg/kg IV up to 1.2 g on Days 1, 15, 29, 57, and 85 RTX regimen: 375 mg/m 2 IV weekly for 4 weeks Prednisone (in control group): 60 mg/day, tapered to 10 mg/day by week 12 and 0 by week 21 I.N Jayne, JASN 2017

5 CLEAR Primary Endpoint CLEAR Study Response based on BVAS at Week 12 BVAS 50% reduc*on from baseline, no worsening in any body system Avacopan treatment groups were numerically superior and stagsgcally non- inferior to standard of care (SOC) Jayne, JASN 2017

6 CLEAR: Changes in CLEAR Disease acgvity (BVAS) B Urinary abnormaliges C,D Quality of life indices E,F,G Jayne, JASN 2017

7 CLEAR CLEAR Study - Primary Endpoint met Clinical response at week 12: Number of Patients High dose steroid SOC BVAS response: 14 / 20 70% % P-value Avacopan patients BVAS response: 36 / 43 84% P = Avacopan plus low dose steroid: 19 / 22 86% P = Avacopan plus no steroid: 17 / 21 81% P = 0.01 Jayne, JASN 2017

8 CLEAR - Adverse Effects CLEAR Less GC- related AE (psychiatric disorders, diabetes, weight, fractures, cataract, hypertension ) 65 % control vs. 34 % avacopan (p = 0.02) Other adverse events similar across groups 91% control vs 86% avacopan + low dose pred vs 96% avacopan Grade 3 adverse events similar 9% in each group, one serious infecgon in each group, no sepsis à Possibly lower with Treatment with Avacopan Jayne, JASN 2017

9 Mepolizumab ang interleukin- 5 monoclonal angbody prevents interacgon with IL- 5- R on the eosinophil surface reduces blood eosinophils (regulates eosinophil proliferagon, maturagon and differengagon) is increased in EGPA

10 mulgcenter, double- blind, parallel- group, phase 3 trial relapsing or refractory EGPA, severe - on treatment for at least 4 weeks and - on stable prednisolone dose Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

11 Design 300 mg mepolizumab or placebo, s.c. every 4 weeks, + SOC (OGC +/- stable IS) 52 weeks 136 pagents (68 mepolizumab, 68 placebo) Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

12 Two primary end points at 12 mo Total accrued weeks of remission Remission: BVAS 0 and Pred 4,0 mg or less Remission at both week 36 and week 48 Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

13 Mepolizumab or Placebo for EGPA, 1 year Treated pagents showed more weeks of remission and fewer relapses Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

14 Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

15 Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

16 Mepolizumab for EGPA - Conclusion Primary endpoints met With Mepolizumab significantly more weeks in remission higher proporgon of pargcipants in remission reduced glucocorgcoids only approximately half the pargcipants had protocol- defined remission Wechsler et al, NELM 2017

17 252 pagents (CYCLOPS, IMPROVE), ANCA at switch from CYCà maintenance 102 (40%) at least one relapse 111 ANCA- posigve, of whom 55 (50%) relapsed, 141 ANCA- negagve, of whom 47 (33%) relapsed Morgan, ArthriGs Research & Therapy 2017

20 REMAIN Maintenance therapy AZA/Predn 24 vs 48 months, n=117 (CYC/Pred for inducgon) Long congnuagon of AZA - less relapses (63% vs 22%, p<0.0001) - beqer renal outcome (0 vs 4 ESRD) - more adverse events ANCA posigve at randomisagon associated with higher relapse risk (51% vs 29%, p=0.017) Karras Ann Rheum Dis 2017

21 380 newly diagnosed AAV (236 GPA, 132 MPA, 12 renal limited) Post hoc analysis from 6 European mulgcentre studies all AZA maintenance Primary Outcome: Relapse- free survival at 60 months à 65 % for AZA >18 mo vs 55% AZA stopp at 18 mo (P= 0.11) de Joode, Rheumatology 2017

22 à ANCA specificity more effect on relapse- free survival than duragon of maintenance should be used to tailor therapy individually de Joode, Rheumatology 2017
