Artefenomel-ferroquine: Phase 2b ‘FALCI’ Trial

«A randomized, double blind, study to investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a single dose regimen of ferroquine (FQ) with Artefenomel (OZ439) in adults and children with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria» • Locations: 17 sites in 7 countries (6 in Africa, 1 in Asia) • Sample Size: up to 662 (4 treatment arms) • IMP formulations (oral): FQ capsules, artefenomel+TPGS in sachets • Completion in early 2019: Dosing 5–14 yo’s completed; next step 2–5

yo’s

11

For patients ≥35 kg, 4 doses of FQ will be assessed along with a fixed dose of OZ439; Weight-adjusted doses for OZ439 & FQ for patients < 35 kg

• FQ at 400 mg and OZ439 800 mg OD in single dose

• FQ at 600 mg and OZ439 800 mg OD in single dose

• FQ at 900 mg and OZ439 800 mg OD in single dose

• FQ at 1200 mg and OZ439 800 mg OD in single dose

Confidential – For Celgene Internal Use Only

Artefenomel-ferroquine: Remaining Phase 2 Program

• Additional Phase 2 trial to fulfill ‘combination rule’ requirement • FQ dose held constant and OZ439 dose varied

• Design based on measuring exposure response

• Sites overlapping with FALCI sites

• Launch in Q1 2018; completion in 2019

• Additional optimization work to hone in on best formulation for Phase 3

Conclusions

• OZ439 & FQ – two novel agents with different MoA’s deep in Phase 2 development

• Encouraging clinical data generated on both molecules as mono-therapies (CHMI model & clinical trials) and in combination trials

• Modelling/simulation of doses required to cure non-immune patients suggests single dose cure may be achievable

• Randomized, double-blind, Phase 2b ‘FALCI’ trial to test combination in patients as young as 6 mos. underway in 17 sites

• Additional randomized trial to fulfill requirement for combination rule (FQ set dose; OZ439 varied dosing) to launch in Q1 2019

• Formulation work to optimise exposure of artefenomel as pathway to formulation selection for Phase 3 is ongoing in parallel
