PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY Ferric Pyrophosphate Citrate (FPC)
6 Iron Deficiency: What problem needs to be s olved ? TRANSFORMING IRON DEFICIENCY AND ANEMIA MANGEMENT » Iron deficiency can develop into a serious medical condition → Often overlooked & undertreated → Hard to treat » Common comorbidity in many diseases especially where there is inflammation → Kidney disease → Acute heart failure → Cancer → Multiple chronic gastrointestinal conditions » Hurts patients’ health in many ways: → Anemia → Organ dysfunction → Slower recovery → Diminished energy → Reduced quality of life Traditional IV iron products build up iron stores in the liver Oral iron is not an option for many patients with moderate to severe IDA

9 Home infusion is rapidly growing and is an opportunity for FPC . Iron Deficiency Anemia is a common comorbidity . • Large and growing market opportunity • Efficacy and safety already established Presents a significant opportunity for FPC . What is “Home I nfusion” therapy? It is… provision of IV treatments at home. Home infusion therapies allow patients with diseases requiring regular infusions of IV medications to be treated in the comfort of their own homes and avoid costly and inconvenient visits to hospitals or outpatient infusion clinics. It is not dialysis. Management of iron deficiency anemia is a broken process. An IV iron product suitable for home infusion is a significant unmet medical need.
10 *E.g., stability of parenteral nutrition lipids when delivered with carbohydrate - based IV iron preparations Management of iron deficiency anemia in home infusion patients is a broken process . Traditional IV iron products are not typically used in the home due to concerns with hypersensitivity risk and incompatibility with other medications.* Oral iron is not an option for many patients due to issues with absorption. Patient has IDA Intervention is delayed Treatment is a “loading dose” or transfusion Follow up is inconsistent IDA re - develops Current therapy options have significant limitations Blood transfusions are given for severe anemia – introducing significant cost and risks.
