NKTR-181: A Novel Opioid Poised to Transform the Chronic Pain Market NKTR-181 brings unique properties to the treatment of chronic pain: $20 Billion+ Global Chronic Pain Therapy Market Slow rate of entry into CNS designed to reduce euphoria and resulting abuse liability Designed to cause less sedation, dizziness and reduce risk of respiratory depression Antidepressants $1.5B Antiepileptics $3.6B NSAIDs/COX-2s $5.9B Opioids $12.6B Targeting C-III or better scheduling Properties are inherent to molecule Received Fast Track Status from FDA Chronic pain market includes: Chronic back pain Osteoarthritis Fibromyalgia Neuropathic pain Source: 2013 IMS and Decision Resources 4
NKTR-181: Phase 3 Efficacy Trial Conclusions NKTR-181 significantly reduced pain in opioid naïve patients with moderateto-severe chronic low back pain. Primary efficacy analysis: p=0.0019 Completer efficacy analysis: p<0.0001 Responder analyses ( 30% and 50% reductions in pain scores) both met statistical significance (p=0.0003 and p=0.001, respectively). NKTR-181 improved overall general status and quality of life (p<0.0001). NKTR-181 improved quality of sleep and led to less sleep disturbance. NKTR-181 had a favorable safety profile and was well-tolerated. NKTR-181 dose range evaluated in SUMMIT-07 (100-400mg) previously demonstrated significantly lower abuse potential than oxycodone (40mg) and rated similar to placebo in a separate Human Abuse Liability (HAL) trial. 5

Auto-Immune Disease is Characterized by Imbalance of T-Reg Cells to T-Effector Cells Beneficial effector T cell population Insufficient T-reg cell population to control the pathological effector T cells Pathological overpopulation of antigen-specific (self-reactive) effector T cells Current auto-immune disease therapies work by suppressing overall immune system function Treat symptoms of the over-active immune system Do not address underlying pathology Block both pathological and beneficial effector T cells resulting in infection, bleeding, cancer risks, etc. 21
