Unmet Need: Madrigal Aims to Treat Patients with NASH, a Large and Underserved Population

6 ~3-5% of the US population has NASH NAFLD is the most common liver disease world-wide ~25% of US population Rapid progression, <2 years 25% of NASH Stage 3 fibrosis progress to cirrhosis

NASH is the most severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

 Characterized by inflammation and damage caused by a buildup of fat in the liver that leads to cirrhosis, fibrosis, and cell death  Develops most often in patients with obesity/metabolic syndrome, diabetes and dyslipidemia

NASH represents an indication with significant unmet need

 Estimated to affect 3-5% of the US adult population  Expected to be the leading cause of liver transplant  There are currently no approved therapies for the treatment of NASH

Mechanism of Action: The Importance of Liver THR-β in NASH

 The THR-β receptor mediates the beneficial effects of thyroid hormone in the liver, on LDL- cholesterol and triglycerides, fatty liver and insulin sensitivity  THR-β agonists reduce liver fat through breakdown of fatty acids, and stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis in the NASH liver, thus, we believe, reducing lipotoxicity and improving liver function  We believe MGL-3196 has pleiotropic effects characteristic of an “ideal” NASH drug, with potential for addressing the underlying metabolic syndrome and hallmark features of NASH: steatosis/lipotoxicity, inflammation, ballooning, fibrosis (both directly and indirectly)  We believe treating NASH, rather than fibrosis, is key to addressing the disease —Resolution of NASH, without reducing fibrosis, is an approvable endpoint —Recognition that liver fibrosis will decrease with time after NASH resolves (similar to reduction

  • f fibrosis as the liver regenerates after cure of HCV)

7

We believe that MGL-3196, a selective THR-β agonist, will treat the underlying disease in NASH patients

 High selectivety for THR- β may reduce toxicity, which is mediated through the systemic THR-α receptor  Very high protein binding, low penetration of tissues outside the liver including brain, heart and bone also expected to limit toxicity  MGL-3196 treated healthy volunteers and patients show normal central thyroid axis and vital signs  Unlike thyroid hormone (T3), MGL-3196 decreases cholesterol without impact on bone or cartilage in preclinical studies  Adverse Events (AEs) mostly mild, similar to control without safety or tolerability issues in Phase 1 and twelve week interim NASH Phase 2 readout

THR-β Agonism: Expected Direct Anti-Fibrotic Actions

  • Fat deposition, lipotoxicity and resultant local inflammation are seen in NASH
  • Hepatocyte dysregulation and damage ensue up to and including apoptosis. These

perturbations lead to a profibrotic environment through:

  • Ongoing inflammation;
  • Production by the dysregulated / damaged / dying hepatocytes of profibrotic factors,

with TGF-β among the most important

  • Thyroid hormone receptor agonism has been shown to dampen inflammation in

vivo and to inhibit TGF-β signaling in cell culture and in vivo

  • In animal models of liver fibrosis, the extent of fibrosis is decreased by thyroid

hormone administration and increased if thyroid hormone receptors are knocked

  • ut (PNAS 113: 3451, 2016)
  • THR-β is the operative receptor in hepatocytes

19

SLIDE 20

THR-β: Decreased Liver Fibrosis and Apoptosis

20

  • THR-β knockout and hypothyroid mice

have delayed liver regeneration, increased apoptosis (PLoS ONE 5(1): e8710, 2010)

  • THR-β -/- mice have increased liver

fibrosis with age

  • Treatment with thyroid hormone

reduces fibrosis in animal models of liver fibrosis (PNAS 113: 3451, 2016)

slide-21
SLIDE 21

MGL-3196, a First-in-Class Liver-Directed THR- β Agonist

  • We believe MGL-3196 is the first bona fide THR-β selective molecule with key advantages over previous companies’ analogues
  • Discovery of MGL-3196 and backups at Roche utilized a novel functional assay that went beyond what previous companies

had done (simple receptor binding assay)

  • Earlier compounds from other companies, purported to be THR-β selective, show no functional selectivity in this

assay and, like thyroid hormone, activate the THR-α receptor equally well as the β receptor

  • in vivo data confirm MGL-3196’s high liver uptake and preclinical safety: no heart, bone/cartilage, or brain uptake; safe in

long-term animal toxicology studies

  • Avoids activity at the systemic THR-α receptor (increased heart rate, osteoporosis)
  • Unlike other company’s earlier thyroid receptor agonists, no cartilage findings in chronic toxicology or liver enzyme

increases in human studies

MGL-3196 Agonism of Hepatic THR-β

  • In livers of euthyroid individuals T3 induces about half the maximal transcriptional activity of THR-

beta

  • MGL-3196 can further beneficially increase this transcriptional activity as we have shown in

euthyroid animal models and humans.

  • Interestingly, systemic hypothyroidism, at the level of the thyroid gland itself, leads to increases in

plasma lipids (LDL-C and triglycerides) and increases the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

  • In fact, actual NASH is at least twice as common in hypothyroid individuals as in the general

population.

  • Further, liver-specific hypothyroidism is present in human NASH, caused by degradation of thyroid

hormone (increased deiodinase 3 produced by stellate and inflammatory cells) in the NASH liver.

  • In a vicious cycle this liver-specific hypothyroidism increases as NASH progresses.
  • Thus, MGL-3196, which is not affected by deiodinases, can increase transcriptional activity
  • ver an even broader range than in the non-NASH euthyroid state.
  • With MGL-3196-induced resolution of NASH, with the concomitant decrease in numbers and

level of activation of stellate cells, normalization of hepatic thyroid function should occur.

  • Robust lipid lowering was observed (up to 60%

  • Consistent with MAD data, subjects with higher

MGL-3196 Phase 2 NASH Study: Likelihood of Success

  • Excellent correlation between decline in fat content on MRI-PDFF and NAS score, steatosis and ballooning
  • n biopsy (Ther. Adv. Gastroenterol. 2016; 9:692-701)
  • Rapid liver fat changes detectable with MRI-PDFF after caloric restriction and weight loss: easily detectable

and near maximal by 6 weeks (PLoS One.2016; 11(4):E0153595)

  • Two regularly scheduled DSMB meetings held May 2017 and September 2017 to review data from the

Madrigal NASH Phase 2 trial

  • DSMB recommended to continue the trial with no changes to the protocol
  • Positive 12-week primary (MRI-PDFF) and secondary endpoint data provides significant additional

confidence

27

We believe that the impressive preclinical NASH animal and human lipid lowering effects, positive 12-week data, and the excellent safety profile point to a high probability of success

Current Challenges in Treatment of FH

HoFH

  • Most patients still not reaching LDL-C goal
  • Newer agents, Lomitapide (Juxtapid, MTPi) and

Mipomersen (Kynamro, anti-ApoB) may have safety issues

  • Both carry FDA label warning*, hepatotoxicity
  • Increased ALT and hepatic fat
  • Elevated Lp(a) remains an issue

HeFH

  • In HeFH, standard care (statins, ezetimibe) most HeFH

still not achieving goal

  • Even with PCSK9 inh 40% not at target
  • Further treatment opportunities include relative statin

intolerance in some and elevated Lp(a) HoFH Lipid Lowering Therapy LDL decrease Conventional Statins Up to 28% Ezetimibe <10% LDL apheresis 20-40% New Treatment Options Lomitapide Up to 50% Mipomersen 25% PCSK9 inh 23%

MGL-3196: Unique and Complementary Lipid Lowering Profile

  • Thyroid pathway clinically validated and differentiated in FH
  • Both LDL receptor-dependent and –independent cholesterol lowering:
  • Stimulates cholesterol breakdown and elimination
  • Lowers ApoB and Lp(a)
  • Decreases levels of PCSK9 (human data) and angiopoietin-like protein 3 ANGPTL3

(gene expression)

  • MGL-3196 lowers LDL in concert with statins in clinical & preclinical studies
  • Thyroid agonists lower cholesterol in LDL receptor knockout mice*
  • In Phase 3 trials in HeFH, an earlier THR agonist lowered LDL cholesterol and Lp(a)**
  • MGL-3196 acts through a mechanism that potentially lowers Lp(a), a severely

atherogenic particle that is elevated in FH

31

In FH, we believe MGL-3196 will deliver additional LDL-C and Lp(a) lowering on top of conventional treatment
