GBS Patient Voice Lisa Butler Executive Director of the GBS|CIDP
In The Voice of GBS Patients "I was terrified, there was so much
chaos around me as I "Went to ER, turned away for fatigue, dehydration was put in the ICU and told my body was paralyzed by and stress. The next day could not stand, legs this disease I had never heard of and that I would likely buckled, back
to ER, unable to move my entire require a respirator to help me breathe." body, put on respirator that same day." "I have learned that I was put in a medically induced coma." "They told me they would give me something
called IVIG to help stop this, but I had no idea what they were talking about." "They said I would recover to a "new normal", what was that?" "I did PT, OT and speech. I eventually stood up "At one point, I
could only communicate by blinking my eyes. with assistance after 8 weeks, I took my first I had so many questions that I couldn't ask. independent steps at 16 weeks." 12

GBS Disease Overview and Treatment Landscape Hugh J. Willison, MBBS,
PhD Professor Emeritus of Neurology, University of Glasgow, Scotland 19
GBS: Neuro-Emergency Needing Urgent and Effective Intervention Most
common cause of acute paralytic inflammatory disease of the peripheral nervous system, known for its severity and rapid progression Frequently follows an infection that generates complement activating auto- antibodies that attack peripheral nerve
tissue leading to nerve conduction failure and nerve fiber death Global annual incidence ~150,000, lifetime likelihood of 1 in 1,000 PERIPHERAL NERVE DAMAGE LEADS TO: Severe weakness Respiratory failure requiring mechanical
ventilation in 25% Mortality rates of 3-17% Irreversible nerve damage preventing patients from resuming a normal life Currently no treatment specifically and immediately targets complement mediated nerve damage IVIg has an
ill-defined mechanism of action and requires Weaned from mechanical ventilation 5-day course to complete therapy 1) van Doorn, 2013; Willison et al., 2016 2(van den Berg et al., 2014) 3 Walgaard et al (2021) Lancet Neurology 20(4):275, 4AAN

GBS is a Neurological Emergency Requiring Urgent Intervention There is
a limited time window in the acute illness phase to achieve a therapeutic effect PROGRESSION PLATEAU RECOVERY PROGRESSIVE PARALYTIC PHASE: rapidly progressive bilateral muscle weakness peaking by 1 week in most cases (ideal Antibody and NfL Levels
treatment window) and lasting up to 4 weeks maximum Complement Activation Nadir determines risk for mechanical ventilation or death and prognosis Preceding infection PLATEAU PHASE: lasts weeks to months post-treatment Complete/ partial
recovery of muscle window, with duration linked to severity at presentation strength Includes extended periods of ventilation in ICU, and intensive supportive care in the ward Nadir MRC RECOVERY PHASE: gradual muscle strength and functional

biomarker of axonal damage, and axon, as known antigens are present on both neurofilament light (NfL) is elevated in all types of GBS Autoantibodies fix complement to both myelin and axon NfL levels correlate with disease course,
severity and prognosis, irrespective of GBS neurotype All GBS neurotypes are present worldwide, but the proportion is variable: e.g. AIDP is more common in EU (54%) than in Bangladesh (40%) Mart n-Aguilar et al, J Neurol Neurosurg Psych

Complement is Pivotal Force in Driving Nerve Damage in GBS C1q binds to
IgG and IgM antibodies on nerve and activates the classical complement pathway leading to neuroinflammation, directs clearance of debris by macrophages (C3b) and inflicts direct membrane damage (C5b-9) causing sudden and prolonged loss of muscle

ANX005 is a Targeted Immunotherapy Against Complement- Mediated Nerve
Fiber Damage Immediate C1q inhibition with a single dose of ANX005 is designed to block all downstream complement components involved in acute or ongoing inflammation and nerve damage and allow nerve fiber recovery to start 24
Prognostic Factors of Functional Recovery Used in clinical prognostic
tools, critical in clinical trial design, essential to show comparability between populations Baseline factors have been identified from multiple, large, prospective and retrospective studies including IGOS that are highly prognostic for functional
outcome and need for mechanical ventilation 1 MRC sum score (muscle strength ranging from 0-60) 2 GBS-DS (function: ranging from 0-6) 3 Age 4 Time of onset of weakness 5 Preceding diarrhea 6 Serum neurofilament light (NfL) 7 Electrophysiology: ulnar

Characteristics of an Effective Therapy to Combat GBS - Get
Better Sooner Directly targets mechanism driving extensive nerve damage and paralysis 1 Treatment goal is to target complement-mediated acute nerve damage and inflammation to prevent paralysis, severe morbidity, disability and mortality Rapid onset
of action 2 Block acute and ongoing destruction of nerves immediately Provides clinical benefit across entire disease spectrum 3 Effective in all GBS patients, and impacting all aspects of the disease that are important to patients Minimal
side-effects 4 Single infusion with manageable infusion related reactions 26
