Only point-of-care device available across major markets to measure FeNO to assist

diagnosis and management of asthma

– Strong IP with 72 granted patents in US, EU & Japan with protection currently to 2026

Asthma is one of largest healthcare burdens

− 25 million asthmatics in US

− 14 million physician office / 1.8 million ER visits in US with asthma as primary diagnosis

− >$50bn medical cost of asthma in US in 2007

Clinical evidence shows FeNO measurement improves asthma management

– Improves diagnosis

– Improves determination of inhaled steroid responsiveness

– Improves control through tailoring inhaled steroid use

– Improves monitoring of treatment compliance

– Potential to reduce exacerbations

Extensive big pharma use in asthma clinical studies

− Validates the importance of FeNO in asthma

− Helps establish FeNO in market and train physicians in use of products

Leadership in FeNO asthma managementMeeting key clinical need in major therapeutic market

Moderate to severe allergy is inadequately addressed by current therapies

Allergen avoidance: not feasible in majority of cases

Symptomatic drugs: (anti-histamines, nasal corticosteroids etc) limited efficacy

– Prescription market estimated at approximately $7bn1

Whole allergen

immunotherapy

Targets cause of allergy

leading to tolerance of

allergens

Reduces “allergic march” to

asthma

Provided by allergy / asthma

specialists

Allergen under the tongue

Lengthy treatment 1 - 3yrs

Low adherence (7% complete 3yrs2)

US requires EpiPen prescription

High frequency of side effects

including potential for anaphylaxis

Subcutaneous

immunotherapy (SCIT)

Total 5 year cost: ~$3,600 – $6,000*

Sublingual

immunotherapy (SLIT)

Allergen injected

Lengthy treatment 3 - 5yrs

Poor patient adherence

Non-standardized dosing

High frequency of side effects

including potential for anaphylaxis

Total 1 year cost: $1,400 - $2,700**

Total 3 year cost: ~$9,000**

* Based on Circassia’s estimates

T cell

epitopes

selected

Whole

allergen

Final product is a

room temperature

stable, lyophilized

vial containing a

mix of 7 peptides

for injection

Modern, synthetic, rationally-designed pharmaceuticals

ToleroMune® identifies T-cell epitopes

– Short linear stretches of amino acids in allergen sequence

– Binds to antigen presenting cells to induce regulatory T cells

– Identified from blood of allergic individuals

SPIREs – Synthetic Peptide Immuno-Regulatory Epitopes

Short treatment designed to provide efficacy without the safety issues

– Regulatory T cells down-regulate allergic response

– Lack of B-cell epitopes avoids cross-linking of mast cells eliminating

early response / no need to dose escalate

– Synthetic manufacture – no extraction from whole allergens

Broadly applicable across range of allergies

– Allergens already identified; no research required

Randomised, placebo-controlled parallel group chamber study

– Commercial-scale room-temperature stable formulation

202 subjects randomised

– 2 dosing regimens and placebo

Primary objective: evaluate efficacy in cat allergic subjects

following cat allergen challenge

Subjects in chamber 3 hours per day for 4 days at baseline and at

post-treatment challenge

– Controlled levels of cat dander (similar to house that has a cat)

– Symptoms recorded every 30 minutes

Comparison of symptom scores at challenge 5 months after

starting treatment to baseline

Overall TRSS improvement

of 2.1 vs. placebo (p = 0.05)

Total Rhinoconjunctivitis Symptoms Score (“TRSS”)

Patient self-rated scores used as primary efficacy

measure

Scoring system required by regulators

‒ Used for approval of intranasal steroids,

antihistamines etc

Scores measured on 4-point rating scale

‒ 0: absent

‒ 1: mild, barely noticeable

‒ 2: moderate, annoying / troublesome

‒ 3: severe, incapacitating

SPIRE studies use 8 symptoms = 24-point scale;

cat SPIRE used sneezing & runny / blocked / itchy

nose & itchy / watery / red / sore eyes

TRSS score of 8 could be 8 “mild / barely

noticeable scores”

TRSS score of 12 could be 4 “mild / barely

noticeable” and 4 “moderate / annoying” scores

Note: Based on non-asthmatic subjects
