1 Device and Clinical Program Highlights: SINOMED BuMA Stent Runlin Gao, MD, FACC, FESC, FSCAI Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, China CAMS, PUMC BuMA Supreme Platform and Pre-Clinical Results Alexandra Lansky, MD Professor of Medicine Yale University School of Medicine March 18, 2016

2 BuMA Supreme DES Components Bare metal stent A thin (80 µm) CoCr stent designed for deliverability and durability Base layer A thin ( nm) permanent poly n-butyl methacrylate (PBMA) coating electro-grafted (eg) onto CoCr stent to improve adhesion of the top coat Top coating A poly lactic -co-glycolic acid (PLGA) biodegradable coating containing sirolimus (~1.2 µg/mm 2 ). The PLGA is absorbed in ~8 weeks with drug measurable in the artery for 45 days.

3 BuMA Components A Novel Sirolimus Eluting Stent utilizing electro-grafting technology Electro-grafting base layer, covalently bonded to stent Biodegradable PLGA drug carrier, fully degraded after 2-3 mo Sirolimus Co-Cr open cell stent platform

4 Electro-Grafting (eg TM ) Technology ultra-thin (nanometric) organic (polymeric) layers; grafting = covalent bonding to the stent surface = strong adhesion hyper conformal and uniform on complex shapes. SE From precursor molecules to polymer chains via electro-chemical reactions eg

5 eg TM coating is a barrier to metal ion release ng/cm 150 days in 37 Saline (ICPMS) Molybden um eg base layer suppresses corrosion and ion release from metals (due to covalent bonding onto the metal surface) Shifts corrosion potential to passivation Contributes to lower local inflammation L BMS eg Coating on 316L BMS Nickel Chromium Nickel Chromium Molybdenum

6 eg TM + Biodegradable Drug Carrier biodegradable coating µm eg base layer 200nm metal 0.1mm Interdigitation Mechanical integrity of coating (expanded in air) BuMA another DES in the market 1 eg base layer secures adhesion of the biodegradable polymer matrix hosting the drug, prevents cracking and delamination upon expansion and over time. 1 John Ormiston et al.

11 Functional Restoration of Endothelium within 3 Months Strut Thickness in Perspectives ABSORB BioMatrix Flex Resolute Integrity Promus Element Xience V BuMA Synergy Supreme Osiro Thin strut thickness Excellent Radial Strength High polymer integrity Low thrombogenicity Faster healing (low surface area requiring endothelial coverage)

12 BuMA Stent 28 Day Implantation Biocompatible tissue response seen 28 days after implantation in porcine coronary arteries

13 eg TM Coating Promotes Endothelial Healing The present study examines the feasibility of local drug release with a biodegradable polymer matrix hosting Sirolimus, coated onto a BMS using proprietary electro-grafting technology (eg ), with a specific focus onto the propensity of eg films to promote recolonization by active EC s.
