AP - CD/LD Phase III Trial Design ~ 80+ Clinical sites across 10 countries 8 6 Weeks 13 Weeks 2 Weeks 50 / 400 , 50 / 500 BID, TID Open label N= 462 Double Blind 12 Months 6 Weeks Stabilization on Sinemet® AP - CD/LD Conversion Enrollment Committee Review Treatment Period Sinemet + AP - CD/LD dummy Treatment Period AP - CD/LD + Sinemet dummy Follow Up Open Label Extension AP - CD/LD Randomization N= 320 Enrollment Attrition Open label Drop Out Gastroscopy (GI endoscopy) Gastroscopy (GI endoscopy) First ˜ 100 patients Independent DMC closed GI sub - study in Feb. 2018 and recommended to continue main study without changes > 90 % enrolling
AP CD/LD was numerically superior in improving OFF time but not statistically superior • Provided treatment for PD symptoms but did not demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in OFF time compared with IR - CD/LD under conditions established in the protocol • Waking OFF time (first hour) comparable to IR • Treatment - emergent adverse effects (TEAEs) observed with AP - CD/LD consistent with known safety profile of CD/LD formulations • Established long - term safety data ⁻ No new safety issues observed in double - blinded study, gastroscopy safety sub - study or 12 - month open - label extension (OLE) study ⁻ No gastric perforations, bleeding, ulcers observed by DMC ⁻ Over 100 patients treated for 1 year at high dose (ICH requirement) Phase 3 ACCORDANCE Study Results 9 In preliminary review, AP - CD/LD provided meaningful reduction in OFF time for those patients who were dosed at 1.6 to 2.0X IR - CD/LD dose
Phase 3 ACCORDANCE Study Take Aways 10 Validated the Accordion Pill platform x Delivered levodopa and treated PD symptoms x Provided long - term safety data • Sub - optimal dosing – AP dose was capped at AP - CD/LD 50 / 500 mg TID; IR - CD/LD had no limit to daily doses – 1.6 to 2.0 ratio of AP - CD/LD to IR - CD/LD should be the goal – AP - CD/LD’s smoother PK allows for delivery of more LD with potentially fewer AEs – Future studies should include potential for additional doses and multiple pills per dose • Titration targets in protocol were sub - optimal
