WVE-006 RNA editing (AIMer) Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD)
AATD impacts multiple organ systems and has limited treatment options AATD is a rare, inherited genetic disorder that is commonly
caused by a G-to-A point mutation in the SERPINA1 gene Pi*ZZ genotype is leading cause of severe AATD, predisposing to progressive lung damage, liver damage or both Aggregation of mutant Z-AAT protein in hepatocytes and a lack of
functional, wild-type M-AAT drives liver and lung disease, respectively AATD Lung Disease AATD Liver Disease Emphysema Treatment goal: Minimize episodic Hepatocellular Treatment goal: Decrease Bronchiectasis exacerbations and
associated damage Fibrosis Cirrhosis Carcinoma Z-AAT protein Lung damage occurs during Progressive liver disease exacerbations that induce an results from Z-AAT-induced inflammatory acute phase response, proteotoxic stress when more
AAT protein is needed for protection Weekly IV augmentation therapy is only treatment option No approved therapies - No protective increase in AAT protein levels during acute phase response without additional IV infusions ~200K
people in the US and Europe are homozygous for the Z allele (Pi*ZZ genotype) 21 Strnad et al., 2020 N Engl J Med 382:1443-55; Blanco et al. 2017 Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 12:561-69

Goal: Shift PiZZ individuals to AAT biomarker profile consistent with PiMZ genotype 23
RNA editing aims to restore production of dynamic and therapeutically relevant levels of AAT protein in Pi*ZZ individuals during acute

First-ever demonstration of ability to restore physiological serum AAT production; total AAT reached 20.6 M during acute phase
response Pi*ZZ patients have a reduced capacity to produce AAT protein during an acute phase response Following WVE-006 200 mg single dose, total AAT and M-AAT increased Published data1 on CRP levels and AAT significantly in one patient during an
