Atopic Dermatitis Overview |
Atopic Dermatitis is a Prevalent and Intensely Itchy Chronic Skin Condition Large patient population ~40M in the developed world ~10% - 20% of infants and young children Majority of cases are mild-to-moderate Chronic type of eczema characterized by flareups of dry, itchy, inflamed skin Predominantly in areas of skin flexures and face On average, flares occur almost once a month and last ~15 days Skin can be broken from scratching which can allow bacterial or viral access and lead to secondary infections Negatively impacts quality of life Itch and discomfort cause restlessness and lack of sleep Inability to concentrate decreases school / work performance Embarrassment and anxiety lead to social isolation Due to chronic, long-term nature of disease and prevalence among children, safety is an important feature of a treatment |
Existing Therapies Lack Safety Needed for Treating a Disease that Primarily Affects Children Topical Corticosteroids Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors (Protopic and Elidel) Recommended Use (by American Academy of Dermatology) Low potency steroids safe for children in short intervals High potency steroids should be avoided in high risk areas such as face or skin folds 2nd line therapy when continued use of topical steroids is ineffective or use of steroids is inadvisable Disadvantages Local side effects - skin thinning, acne, stretch marks Systemic side effects HPA Axis suppression Received Black Box warning from FDA in 2005 for potential cancer risk Prior to Black Box warning, considered breakthrough products due to perceived safety relative to corticosteroids |
Why Steroid Alternatives are Needed to Treat Atopic Dermatitis Zuberbier et al, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, July 2006 Risk of side effects increases with: Long duration of use High frequency of applications High potency When applied to intertriginous areas or the face Response to topical steroids may diminish over time Implies need for a change in topical regimen Rotational therapy is often used with intermittent application of steroids or TCIs Parents are often reluctant to use steroids on children In a study of 2,002 subjects (>13 years) and caregivers (of patients 2-13 years), the majority said they would prefer to apply a nonsteroid treatment as early as possible to either prevent a flare from occurring or from getting worse(1) Fear of side effects leads to delayed treatment and poor compliance |

Based on Comparisons Across Studies AN2728 Compares Favorably to Elidel and Desonate Note: Caution is needed when comparing AN2728s open-label data with randomized, controlled Phase 3 data for Elidel and Desonate.

Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics No treatment-emergent serious adverse events occurred One subject discontinued from the study due to an adverse event (application site pain) The most common treatment-related AEs were application site reactions occurring in 12 (35%) subjects Of these 12 subjects the vast majority had a maximum severity of mild or moderate These reactions were generally transient and resolved spontaneously without treatment Pharmacokinetic profile Overall blood levels in pediatrics and adolescents were low and were similar to those previously observed in adults after adjusting for percent BSA treated Cmax-based safety margin is 23-fold to 200-fold AUC-based safety margin is 12-fold to 23-fold |
Preliminary Phase 3 Trial Design Subject to input from the FDA, Phase 3 study will be initiated in 1H14 with results expected in 1H15 Design Two multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials ~750 subjects per trial randomized 2:1 (active:vehicle) Twice daily dosing for 28 days Subjects ages 2-17 years with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis Trial size primarily determined by FDA requirement for size of safety database With this size, each trial is powered 94% to achieve a P value < 0.05 assuming 20% efficacy for active and 10% for vehicle We believe these efficacy assumptions are conservative based on our study results to date Outcomes Efficacy The primary efficacy endpoint is success in ISGA at Day 29, defined as an ISGA of Clear or Almost Clear with at least a 2-grade improvement from Baseline Several secondary endpoints planned Safety and local tolerability Reported AEs, tolerability scores, safety laboratory tests, vital signs |
Preliminary Long-Term Safety Trial Design Long-term safety trial (~500 subjects) to evaluate safety of intermittent use of AN2728 for up to 12 months FDA requires that at least 100 subjects complete 12 months of long-term safety and at least 300 subjects complete 6 months of long-term safety Subjects who complete Phase 3 trial have option to roll into long-term safety trial until ~500 subjects are enrolled Subjects will undergo courses of treatment as needed under the direction of the investigator over the 6-12 month treatment period |
Next Steps in Development Completion of ongoing TQT study expected by year end 2013 End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in 1Q14 Initiate Phase 3 program of AN2728 in 1H14 with results expected in 1H15 Subject to Phase 3 results and timing, file NDA in 2H15 Remaining development costs (including clinical, pre-clinical and manufacturing) through filing of NDA currently estimated to be <$40M |
