9 Routes to Terminal C5 activation Classical Lectin Alternative Complement
Pathways Extrinsic "Pathway" Enzymatic C5 Cleavage Membrane Attack Complex (MAC)triggers lysis of pathogens strong amplifierof inflammation Antibody binding Mannose binding Foreign surfaces C3 activation C5aR C5b-9 =
MAC C5-convertases C5L2 C5b C5a Terminalcomplementactivation C5 Thrombin, Trypsin, Elastase, etc. The extrinsic pathway represents an additional route, outside of the well-known complement pathways, to activate
C5 Arg751/Leu752 Scissile bonds other ligands: C3a, ASP, C4a etc
10 Terminal complement activation: model C5a C5 activation through the Complement Pathways
results in functional C5a and C5b (MAC)C5 cleavage through the Extrinsic Pathway generates functional C5a (not C5b!) C5b C5 Classical Lectin Alternative Complement Pathways C5-convertases Extrinsic "Pathway" Enzymatic C5
Cleavage Thrombin, Trypsin, Elastase, etc. C5b-9 = MAC directly cleave off C5aat scissile bond region initiate binding to MG-7 domain of C5 -then cleave C5a with catalytic subunit
11 Terminal complement activationCompetitive clinical landscape Previous programmes targeting
C5a Complement Pathways Extrinsic Pathway C5b-9 = MAC InflaRx's approach is to ensure complete blockade of C5a regardless of activating pathway or receptor signaling while preserving MAC formation C5 C5a C5aR C5L2
IFX-1 is a first-in-class anti-C5a monoclonal antibody 12 MAC lysis invading microorganisms C5b-9 =
MAC C5b KEY FEATURES Blocks C5a biological effects up to 100% in human blood Leaves MAC formation intactBinds with high affinity to the discovered epitope C5 newepitope Cleavage of C5 through:Complement pathway activation,
orDirectly through enzymes via "extrinsic" pathway C5a conformational change IFX-1 MAC lysis invading microorganisms C5b-9 = MAC

Al., Clin. Immunol. 2017 Mar 30;180:25-32 101% 96% IFX-1 can block C5a induced neutrophil activation as measured by CD11b IFX-1 does not influence the hemolytic activity curves and leaves C5 cleavage and formation of C5b-9

ifx-1 for hidradenitis Suppurativa
hidradenitis Suppurativaa chronic severely debilitating C5a-driven inflammatory skin condition with
high unmet need 15 Clinical features Chronic, inflammatory, recurrent, debilitating skin disease of the hair follicles Most commonly in the armpit, groin and genital regionsExtremely painful inflammatory nodules, boils or
abscessesDraining fistulas leading to considerable scarring and functional disability Hurley staging system used to classify severity (stage I - III) Current Treatment - Medical Need Adalimumab (TNF-alpha inhibitor) from AbbVie is the only
approved biological in US and EuropeAccepted (but not approved) SOC includes topical, oral or i.v. antibioticsIn some instances, surgery is required Approximately 50 - 75% of patients with moderate to severe HS do not respond or lose response
to Humira1 Prevalence Up to 200,000 moderate to severe (Hurley II+III) HS patients in USHigher prevalence in Europe with reports > 1% total HS prevalence Stage ISingle / multiple abscesses but no sinus tracts or scarring Stage IISingle
or multiple separated, recurrent abscesses with tract formation and scarring Stage IIIMultiple interconnected tracts and abscesses involving an entire anatomic region Hurley staging for hs 1 combined phase III trial data for Humira:
response measured by HiSCR 50 and KOL quotes in LifeSci Capital initiation report 112/2018
IFX-1 in Hidradenitis Suppurativa 16 HISCR - a validated endpoint Humira was approved based on
HiSCR response - providing a potential pathway to approvalHiSCR defines 3 types of lesions:AbscessesInflammatory nodules Draining fistulasHiSCR response defined as:At least 50% reduction in total abscess and inflammatory nodule count (AN
count)No increase in the number of abscesses from baselineNo increase in the number of draining fistulas from baseline
IFX-1 in Hidradenitis Suppurativa 17 InflaRx established that HS patients have significant
complement activation with elevated C5a levels C5a is involved in several key pathophysiological mechanisms in HSNeutrophil activation is driven by C5aVarious C5a dependent players potentially involved (TNFa, IL-17, etc.)C5a is key neutrophil
activator in HS patient plasma: HS patient plasma strongly provoked neutrophil activation in healthy donor blood, this effect could be completely blocked by the addition of IFX-1 Rationale for targeting C5a
IFX-1 in Hidradenitis Suppurativa - rational C5a as key neutrophil activator in HS patient

patients HiSCR response in HS patients Efficacy: In these late-stage patients who previously failed to respond to SOC including TNF-alpha blockade, 75% of patients were HISCR responders following 8 weeks treatment and 83% at end of
trial Safety / tolerability: Repeated high dose I.V. administration of IFX-1 observed to be well tolerated with no detected safety issues

PLASMA LEVELS Data displayed in the F1 prospectus: Mean C5a levels (ng / ml) in HS patients at day 1 (pre-dosing), day 22 and day 50 (end of treatment) as well as on day 134 (at the end of the trial observation period). One sample was
excluded from this analysis at day 50 (end of treatment) (as indicated with (+) above) from one patient in whom study drug infusion was discontinued prematurely after day 29 due to an unrelated adverse event

IFX-1 Phase Iib study in HS: SHINE statistical Model MCP-mod 24 The Multiple comparison Procedure -
Modelling (MCP-mod) What is this? novel and now more frequently used design for dose findingtests whether a new drug has a dose-response effect on an endpoint = MCP stepcalculates the dose-response relationship (curve fit) = mod
step regulatory opinion and advantages? qualified and recommended by FDA and EMA1,2,3uses the available data better than pairwise comparisons with ANOVA (EMA written opinion3) HOW DO YOU SET THIS UP? make common assumptions (endpoint,
effect sizes etc.)chose most suitable dose response relation (based on available information = other compounds, etc.) determine doses + scenarios for likely effect size and calculate sample size for desired power Bretz F et al (2005),
