Objectives and Approach
Ø To develop, patent, and commercialize treatment of novel
 indications with FDA approved drugs with large market
 opportunities.
 
Ø FDA approval for an existing drug means significantly
 reduced time to market for new indications with limited
 safety issues to overcome.
 
Ø  FDA approval will likely focus on efficacy, and 505 (B)(2)
 allowing such compounds to have a reduced regulatory
 process time frame compared to a new drug with no safety
 record.

Type 1 Diabetes-15,000-18,000 Type 1 juvenile diabetics are diagnosed in the USA per
 year (40 per day) No alternative to insulin therapy exists. Total Type 1 population
 of 2 million patients including adults.
 
Type 2 Diabetes -(Total population currently estimated at 24 million in the USA)
 
 Treatment of patients failing current therapy and/or high risk of cardiovascular
 complications (2% or 480,000).
 
Influenza -Large perennial problem with unmet need for patients failing current
 therapy who are at a high risk for serious complications (pulmonary distress
 syndrome) and hospitalization.
 
Transplant Rejection -Unmet medical need to reduce complications of immuno-
 suppressive drugs and chronic rejection.
 
Biohazards -$5 billion in US government funding provided by Project Bioshield
 (2004) for countermeasures. Major European Market Opportunities exist.

 and 16 filed patents
 
 
 1. An issued patent, a notice of allowance and additional
 patent applications for the treatment of viral diseases
 including Influenza and HIV-1.
2. Patent applications for the treatment of Cellular
 Transplant Rejection, Graft vs. Host Disease, Transplant

Patent Portfolio and Business Approach
 Methods of use for alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT)-based and
 AAT Derivative based treatment of diabetes (Type 1 and
 Type2).
 
 Composition of matter and methods of use for AAT-based
 treatment of viral and bacterial disorders.
 
 Methods of use for AAT-based and AAT derivative based
 treatment of graft versus host disease, cellular transplant
 and organ transplantation conditions.
 
 Our objective is to sub-license the treatment of various
 indications of the IP portfolio to one or more producers of
 AAT, many of whom are major pharmaceutical companies.

Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (AAT) and Omni
 AAT is a naturally occurring human serum protein. FDA approved and
 currently is prescribed for emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary
 disorder (COPD) in AAT deficient patients.
 
 As a current regimen for the treatment of emphysema and COPD, AAT is
 administered once a week by infusion. AAT has one of best safety records of
 any biological.
 
 Market for AAT replacement therapy of individuals in North America is
 approximately $150 million.
 
 The new indications that Omni is in the process of testing are based in part on
 the method of use for markets that dwarf AAT's existing applications and
 markets.
 
 An IND to conduct a clinical trial in patients with Type 1 diabetes has
 received FDA clearance and we are currently enrolling patients and anticipate
 infusing patients during the third calendar quarter of 2010.

AAT - A naturally occurring protein without the
side effects of other currently marketed agents
AAT:
Inhibits destructive enzymes such as proteinase-3
 
Anti-migratory
Anti-Complement
Prevents maturation of antigen presenting cells
Induces T-regulatory cells
Inhibits responses to inflammatory cytokines
Increases production of anti-inflammatory molecules

12
Animal Studies - Diabetes
 At clinically relevant doses, AAT protects the insulin-producing beta cells against
 toxic agents (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2005 and 2008).
 
 AAT protects HUMAN islet cells against the toxic effects of cytokines. Cytokines
 are produced in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and are a major contributor to cell
 death for the insulin-producing beta cells.
 
 AAT prevents diabetes progression in an acceptable animal model, spontaneously
 halting its development.
 
 Prolongs islet cell survival by protecting islet cells from destruction that is
 common during transplantation or shortly thereafter.

Type 1 Diabetes Trial - Preventing the destruction
of insulin-producing islet cells
 Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes at the University of Colorado
 Hospital-Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus
 
 Recently diagnosed Type 1 diabetics
 
 8 weekly infusions of AAT at the commencement of the trial, then the
 patients symptoms will be monitored for two years
 
 Recognized endpoints (same as for immunosuppressive depleting antibodies)
 
 2 Year trial period (from enrollment) with data reviewed at least quarterly

15
AAT in salvaging the loss of the insulin-producing
beta-cell in Type 2 diabetes
In Type 2 diabetes, progressive loss of functional insulin-producing beta-cells
takes place due to IL-1b produced in the fat that enters the islet
Blocking IL-1b restores function and lowers hyperglycemia
 
AAT blocks IL-1b induced cell death of the beta cell

  Both a treatment and preventative product
  Potentially broad spectrum treatment for different types of influenza including
 “bird FLU”, “swine Flu (H1N1)”, and “weaponized” FLU
  Impervious to mutation-induced resistance: AAT is still effective even if the
 virus changes or mutates
  Compatible with existing influenza treatments and immunizations
  Inhaled delivery places AAT in the lungs where initial infection and damage
 occurs
