Target indications Key products

Adrenal Insufficiency (AI): Patients lose the ability to produce cortisol leading to insufficient cortisol production

Alkindi®: Approved by the EMA as the first licensed hydrocortisone product specifically designed to treat children <18 years in Europe

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): Patients are born without an enzyme that stimulates the adrenal glands to release the hormone cortisol

Chronocort®: Aims to be the first hydrocortisone product that closely mimics cortisol circadian rhythm

Cortisol – an essential hormone:• Distinct circadian rhythm required for health; CAH can result

in short stature, infertility, obesity, increased mortality

Unsatisfactory current treatment: • 2/3 of CAH patients have poor disease control (androgens)

Chronocort® – innovative drug delivery solution:• Delayed release coat allows pH triggered release in

GI tract

Chronocort® – improved disease control:• Control of morning androgens in 94% of patients vs

31% on standard treatment in Phase II trial
