Cystic Fibrosis Market Opportunity Cystic Fibrosis is a rare and life limiting genetic disease Over 80,000 individuals live with CF in US, Canada, Europe and Australia with many more in regions that do not have established patient registries In Europe, approximately only 1 in 5 of the ~48,000 people with CF has access to CFTR modulators CFTR modulators are the only validated disease modifying treatment options, but approved drugs still leave significant unaddressed medical need: Limited access due to lack of reimbursement Individual variability in response and tolerability to available products Neglected genotypes CFTR modulator market projected to grow from $3B (2018) to over $6B (2023), driven by approval of new therapies, premium pricing and monopoly 4

16 Analysis of the CF trial population that participated in PTI clinical trials highlights the disparity in the disease burden possibly driven by different prior experience with CFTR modulators Access to currently marketed CFTR modulators varies greatly in non-US regions It is estimated that only 1 in 5 CF patients in Europe has the option of CFTR modulator therapy Regional Inequality in Access to CFTR Modulators Impacts the CF Trial Population Compared to patients enrolled in early CFTR modulator trials, PTI combination trials recruited patients who were older and more likely to have discontinued prior treatment with CFTR modulators US subjects appear to have a higher burden of disease based on pulmonary exacerbation history suggesting the trial population in US is skewed towards CFTR modulator non-responders These factors must be considered in clinical trial design, study execution, and study result interpretation Source: “Letter to the Editor: Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of Future CFTR Modulator Options for People with CF” Damian Downey, MD and Jennifer Taylor-Cousar, MD. Accepted, Journal of Cystic Fibrosis The authors hypothesize that differential access to CFTR modulator therapy would affect the baseline demographics and disease burden of subjects enrolled in CF clinical trials
