Angelman Syndrome Need for effective treatment options could not be greater No approved therapies since condition first described in 1965.1 Treatment options are symptomatic and include anti-seizure therapies. Affects 1:12,000 to 20,000 people2,3 Affects males and females in equal numbers3 Characterized by profound developmental delay, ataxia and gait disturbance, sleep disorder, seizures, heightened anxiety & aggression, and severe speech impairments. Disease results from loss of functional UBE3A protein due to defect of UBE3A gene on maternal chromosome 15 Decreased extrasynaptic GABA levels lead to decreased tonic inhibition and resulting downstream clinical phenotype 1.

Current Medical Practice is Largely Inadequate for Treating AS Behavior Sleep Seizures Stimulants for hyperactivity Antipsychotics (e.g., risperidone) for aggressive and disruptive behaviors6,8 Buspirone and benzodiazepines (e.g., clobazam, clonazepam) for anxiety7 Melatonin has been successful for many individuals and is commonly used. - agonists (e.g., clonidine), benzodiazepines (e.g., clonazepam), and antidepressants (trazodone) are used to treat sleep problems in AS 1,7 Long-term anti-seizure medication is standard Valproic acid, clonazepam, lamotrigine and levetiracetam have greatest efficacy 1,9 No evidence-based studies have indicated the efficacy of these treatments in AS Adverse events can be significant and may exacerbate other aspects of the disease2-4 Response to melatonin is variable and efficacy may be lost over time10 Response to all these medications is variable. Side effects must be carefully monitored.2 Patients with AS present with multiple seizure types that are sometimes refractory to medications11 Current therapies do not target the neuropathophysiology of AS1,2 81% of patients take multiple concurrent medications to address individual symptoms with limited success3-6 AS !
Management of AS is Currently Limited to Supportive Care Following diagnosis, families of individuals with AS are often referred to specialists, therapists, and specialized school programs; most children benefit from physical, speech, and occupational therapy1,2 1.

The complex clinical presentation of AS requires ongoing specialized multidisciplinary medical care. The Rush Angelman Syndrome clinic provides a multi-disciplinary and specialized approach to patients with AS. It works a consultation program and also provides ongoing care. Clinicians meet, discuss patients clinical problems and make joint recommendations for treatment interventions. The most common clinical problems presented by our patients include behavior-emotional dysregulation, sleep, seizures, gastroesophageal reflux and constipation.

UBE3A, ubiquitin protein ligase E3A; GABA, -aminobutyric acid. Background on Angelman Syndrome and OV101 Multi-symptomatic genetic condition caused by impaired tonic inhibition Loss of function in UBE3A gene on maternal chromosome 15 disrupts GABA signaling and results in impaired tonic inhibition Decreased tonic inhibition causes the brain to become inundated with excitatory signals resulting in a wide range of symptoms Presynaptic Neuron GABA production GABA transporter GABA Synaptic Extrasynaptic HEALTHY ABNORMAL Post-synaptic Neuron Angelman syndrome Restores impaired tonic inhibition Highly selective extrasynaptic GABAA receptor (GABAAR) agonist, which binds to the -subunit of GABAAR as an orthosteric agonist Differentiated from other GABAA modulators Restores deficits in tonic inhibition in a preclinical mouse model of Angelman syndrome Has the potential to normalize tonic inhibition in humans Angelman Syndrome OV101
OV101: Preclinical Proof-of-Concept in AS Effect on Movement, Posture and Gait Animal model for AS developed only recently UBE3A gene-knockout mouse model Replicates impaired motor function of AS In AS mouse model, OV101: Restored tonic inhibition in cerebellar cells Corrected motor phenotype Improved gait and balance Decreased clasping reflex Control UBE3A deficient OV101-treated Source: Egawa et al., Decreased tonic inhibition in cerebellar granule cells causes motor dysfunction in a mouse model of Angelman Syndrome. Science Translational Medicine 4, 163ra157, 5 December 2012
OV101 Clinical Development Plan in Angelman Syndrome STARS data highlighted as one of three presentations at AAN's 2019 Top Science Press Conference STARS Phase 2 Study completed in Q3'18 ELARA Open Label Extension Study started in Q1'19 NEPTUNE Phase 3 Initiated Registration Package
Assessment Points (weeks) Placebo (placebo morning, placebo night) OV101 BID (10 mg morning, 15 mg evening) OV101 QD (placebo morning, 15 mg evening) -2 0 6 12 Screening Baseline & Randomize (1:1:1) STARS: A Phase 2 Clinical Trial in Angelman Syndrome * Excluding, poorly controlled seizure activity, concomitant use of minocycline, levodopa, zolpidem, zaleplon, eszopiclone, ramelteon, or cannabinoid derivatives or any other investigational agent, device, and/or procedure. BID=twice a day; QD=every day. Outcome Measures Trial Design and Key Inclusion Criteria 88 adults and adolescents 12 sites in US, 1 site in Israel Age 13-49 years, inclusive Genetic diagnosis of Angelman syndrome Receiving a stable regimen of concomitant medications for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline* Primary Outcome Measure: Safety and tolerability of OV101 vs placebo Exploratory Outcome Measures: Efficacy measures of OV101 vs placebo
STARS: OV101 Achieved the Primary Endpoint of Safety and Tolerability The most frequent AEs across OV101 and placebo arms were vomiting, somnolence, irritability, aggression, and fever There were no deaths across OV101 and placebo arms * Descriptive data. Drug-related TEAEs (n=4 subjects): Placebo - 1 irritability; BID - 1 seizure, 1 myoclonus, 1 irritability/anxiety/sleep disorder. AE=adverse event; BID=twice a day; QD=every day; SAE=serious adverse event; TEAE=treatment-emergent adverse event. Incidence n (%)* Placebo (n=29) OV101 QD (n=29) OV101 BID (n=29) At least 1 TEAE 25 (86.2) 27 (93.1) 25 (86.2) Mild TEAE 23 (79.3) 23 (79.3) 23 (79.3) Moderate TEAE 9 (31.0) 15 (51.7) 9 (31.0) Severe TEAE 0 1 (3.4) 4 (13.8) Drug-related TEAE 13 (44.8) 18 (62.1) 19 (65.5) AE-related withdrawals 1 (3.4) 0 3 (10.3) SAEs 0 1 (3.4) 1 (3.4) The majority of AEs were mild, and discontinuations due to AEs were low 2 subjects experienced SAEs of worsening seizures (1 deemed possibly related, 1 not related)
STARS Demonstrated Meaningful Improvement in Efficacy Changes in global function as measured by CGI-I provided support for primary endpoint selection for NEPTUNE Global Function: Statistically significant improvement on CGI-I scale Sleep: Reduction in latency to sleep onset and improvement in clinical impressions of overall sleep Motor: Changes (post hoc) in gait, activities of daily living Global Function Sleep Motor
CGI-I is the Most Appropriate Way to Assess Clinical Benefit in Angelman Patients Validated measure used in neurology and psychiatry trials Clinician assessed Co-primary or key secondary endpoint in several FDA-approved and ongoing clinical trial programs including: Nuplazid (Psychosis), Intuniv (ADHD) Captures the improvement in the totality of a patient's symptoms Each patient represents his/her own control providing sensitivity and validity in measuring change in a highly heterogenous disorder Neurodevelopmental conditions like AS are highly heterogeneous Individual patients with AS have varying degrees of impairment with sleep, communication, behavior, motor, or seizures CGI-I (Clinical Global Impression-Improvement) Changes of even 0.5 points can be considered clinically meaningful Patients Rated on a Likert 7-Point Scale 1 = very much improved 2 = much improved 3 = minimally improved 4 = no change 5 = minimally worse 6 = much worse 7 = very much worse
*Least-square mean difference [Drug-Placebo] (95% CI) was -0.78 (-1.22, -0.35) with OV101 QD and -0.21 (-0.64, 0.22) with OV101 BID. AS=Angelman syndrome; BID=twice a day; CGI-I=Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement; QD=every day. Bird LM et al. Poster presented at: AACAP 2018. P=0.3446 P=0.0006 Value of 4 represents no change on CGI-I STARS Data Supports Once a Day Dosing for the Phase 3 NEPTUNE Trial

Epileptogenic insult Modulation of NMDA Receptor Modulation of Glial Function Epilepsy 24HC Cholesterol Glutamate Release Inflammation Tissue Excitability CH24H CH24H is a Novel Target That Potentiates Glutamatergic Signaling CH24H is a cytochrome p450 enzyme with a disease-specific role1,3,4 In physiologic conditions ~25% of total body cholesterol resides in the brain with a turnover of <1%1,2 CH24H converts brain cholesterol into 24S-hydroxycholesterol (24HC) for normal CNS function2 Present in neuronal membrane for proper development and function2 In epilepsy pathology 24HC acts as a positive allosteric modulator of NMDA receptor, potentiating glutamatergic signaling associated with epilepsy3 CH24H is induced in glia (e.g., astrocytes)4 Increased expression of CH24H can disrupt the reuptake of glutamate by astrocytes, resulting in epileptogenesis and excitotoxicity4,5
