3 Background - HDL While statin therapy has reduced morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease by more than 25%, CV disease remains the #1 cause of death worldwide Epidemiologic studies: high HDL associated with risk Current therapies raise HDL by 5-30%, but none has yet been proven to reduce CV risk in current statin era Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors substantially raise HDL But, the first agent, torcetrapib, was found to have off target effects in adrenal gland, and lead to increased BP, mortality and CV events.

4 Background: CETP inhibition Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that catalyzes the transfer of CE from HDL to apob-containing lipoproteins (VLDL and LDL-C) in exchange for Trig. LDL-R CE LDL / VLDL Liver FC SR-B1 CETPX inhibition CE LCAT HDL Bile FC Free Cholesterol (FC) in Extrahepatic tissues

5 Anacetrapib Orally active, potent, selective CETP inhibitor Robust lipid efficacy in Phase I-II studies No effects on blood pressure, electrolytes, and aldosterone in preclinical and Phase I-II clinical studies In vitro HDL functional assays: HDL particles isolated from anacetrapib-treated patients demonstrate preserved (and possibly enhanced) cholesterol efflux properties Dose of 100 mg selected based on PK/PD modeling: minimal dose to achieve maximal effects on HDL and LDL

6 Study Objectives and Endpoints Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety profile of anacetrapib in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalent disease The primary objective of this study was to evaluate safety to allow decision making for large outcomes study Pre-specified safety parameters: BP, potassium, chloride, sodium and bicarbonate, liver function tests, CPK, myalgia, adjudicated major CV-events (CV death, non-fatal MI, nonfatal stroke, unstable angina) and death Efficacy endpoints: Primary: LDL-C at Wk 24 Key Secondary: HDL-C, Apo B, Apo A-1, non-hdl-c, TG at week 24 & 76, and LDL-C at week 76

7 Patient Population Men and women, 18 and 80 years of age, with CHD or CHD riskequivalent disease (Framingham Risk score > 20%) on background statin therapy +/- other lipid-modifying medications. LDL-C 50 and 100 mg/dl HDL-C <60mg/dL Triglycerides 400 mg/dl Major Exclusion Criteria Chronic heart failure Uncontrolled hypertension Hepatic disease Severe renal impairment Treatment with warfarin, digoxin or potent inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A4

8 Study Design Age: years NCEP ATPIII goal < 100 mg/dl Statin ± other lipid modifying therapy Randomization 1:1 Ratio R Anacetrapib 100 mg n=750 Placebo n=750 Study drug stopped if LDL-C<25mg/dL during treatment 12 week follow-up Stable dose-regimen of lipid-modifying therapy Week Visit Screening Placebo Run-in Treatment Phase Reversibility Phase

9 Safety Monitoring and Bayesian Analyses Periodic review of unblinded safety throughout trial by external, independent safety monitoring committee (SMC) Statistical analyses performed by external, independent statistical group All CV serious adverse events and deaths adjudicated by an external, independent adjudication committee. A Bayesian approach was applied to determine the predictive probability (confidence) to dismiss a torcetrapib-like 25% in CV events as observed in ILLUMINATE.

16 Conclusion Anacetrapib treatment had robust effects on HDL-C, LDL-C, non HDL-C and Lp(a) with sustained effects over 18 months. Anacetrapib had an acceptable side-effect profile with no effects on blood pressure, electrolytes or aldosterone. Within the power of the study, anacetrapib did not exhibit adverse cardiovascular effects seen with a prior CETP inhibitor The long term safety and efficacy of anacetrapib will now be tested in a large clinical outcomes trial.
