DX - 2930 Phase 1b Data Review MARCH 31, 2015

 
 

This presentation contains forward - looking statements, including statements regarding the prospects for therapeutic benefits and treatment advantages of an investigational product, DX - 2930, being developed by Dyax for hereditary angioedema (HAE). Statements that are not historical facts are based on our current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates, forecasts an d projections about the industry and markets in which Dyax competes. The statements contained in this presentation are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materia lly from what is expressed in such forward - looking statements. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such forward - looking statements. There are many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in these forward - looking statements. Thes e factors include the following: • The results from our Phase 1b study may not be predictive of the results or success of future clinical trials that will be re qui red to permit application for regulatory approval of DX - 2930; • even if DX - 2930 progresses through clinical trials and gains regulatory approval, it may not gain market acceptance; • others may develop technologies or products superior to DX - 2930 or that reach the market before DX - 2930; • Dyax is dependent on the expertise, effort, priorities and contractual obligations of third parties in the manufacture, quali ty control, storage and clinical development of DX - 2930; • t he costs of prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights; • t he overall condition of the financial markets; and • a variety of other risks common to our industry. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or suggested in any forward - looking statements are contained in our recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, includ ing those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in such filings, which are incorporated in this presentation by this reference. Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update o r revise them, except as may be required by law.

DX - 2930 Phase 1b Data Review

 
 

DX - 2930 phase 1b data review Presenters Burt Adelman, Executive Vice President of R&D and Chief Medical Officer Ryan Iarrobino, Senior Director Clinical Development Dan Sexton, Distinguished Scientist Yung Chyung, Vice President Medical Research 4

 
 

5 DX - 2930 phase 1b study Key analyses:  Safety & tolerability  Pharmacokinetic profile  Pharmacodynamic bioactivity  Efficacy in preventing HAE attacks M ulti - center , randomized, placebo - controlled, multiple ascending dose trial in subjects with HAE

 
 

6 DX - 2930 phase 1b study design  3 dosing cohorts originally planned: 30 mg, 100 mg, 300 mg  Subjects randomized to active drug vs placebo in 2:1 ratio (each subject receives 2 doses separated by 14 days )  Follow - up visits occur through 15 weeks following second dose  Protocol allows for expansion of additional subjects and additional dose levels

 
 

7 Expansion and data analysis  16 additional subjects randomized to 400 mg DX - 2930 or placebo (overall total of 37 treated subjects)  Data analysis was conducted after all subjects in the 400 mg dose group completed Day 50 follow - up visit  Analyses include safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy  Study is ongoing until all subjects in 400 mg dose group reach Day 120

 
 

8 Subject disposition and demographics  Disposition • One subject in the 400 mg dose group received only one dose and was replaced. • No subjects discontinued due to adverse events .  DX - 2930 and Placebo were balanced in terms of age, race , ethnicity, and BMI. • Slightly more females in DX - 2930 (67%) vs placebo (54 %) Dose (mg) Number of subjects 30 4 100 4 300 5 400 11 Placebo 13

An AE is treatment emergent if the onset time is after administration of study drug through the Day 120 post dose final follow - up visit, or in the event that onset time precedes study drug administration, th e AE increases in severity during the 120 day post dose follow - up period . ** Treatment - related AEs: Relatedness of AEs to study drug was assessed by a blinded investigator.

 
 

11 Adverse events  Most common AEs were HAE attacks, injection site pain, and headache; r ates not appreciably higher in DX - 2930  2 subjects with 3 related severe TEAEs • One DX - 2930 subject (30 mg) with injection site pain lasting 1 minute • One DX - 2930 subject (400 mg) with worsening headache lasting 1 minute and night sweats
