Ulcerative Colitis – a Debilitating Disease with High Unmet Medical Need

“I always need to be close to a toilet, which restricts my life significantly. The worst is to be so socially disabled. I would like to be spontaneous and just live my life without worrying about my stomach and toilet visits”,

Emma, 24 years old suffering from ulcerative colitis

  • Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with chronic

inflammation of the colonic mucosa leading to ulcers

  • Recurrent with active and inactive periods
  • Very frequent blood- and mucus-mixed loose stools
  • High negative impact on quality of life

Clear Need for Safer and More Efficacious Drugs in Moderate to Severe UC

Colectomy Biologics JAK inhibitors Immunomodulators Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) Aminosalicylates

Mesalazine (5-ASA), Sulphasalazine (SP)

Last line Cobitolimod Third line Second line First line

  • Third line therapies have problems with tolerance

and severe side effects

  • >$5 Bn per year of biologics sales globally in UC

alone1

  • >200,000 UC patients globally receive treatment

with biologics1

Cobitolimod – InDex’s Lead Drug Candidate

  • Cobitolimod is a potential new medication for

moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

  • Successful phase IIb study CONDUCT
  • 4 previous completed clinical studies support

efficacy and safety demonstrated in CONDUCT

  • Competitive efficacy
  • Excellent safety, very low systemic uptake
  • Local treatment, provides rapid onset of action
  • Novel mechanism of action (TLR9 agonist)
  • Potential for combination therapy

Cobitolimod has high market potential with an outstanding combination of efficacy and safety

  • Minimize risk by performing sequential studies
  • Allows stepwise financing with additional de-risked inflection points
  • Fast to market potential by 2-step approval process
  • First label induction of remission, to be followed by extended label for maintenance treatment

  • Maintain and establish contacts with potential partners
  • Compile full business development package
  • Scientific communication to maximize impact in scientific community
  • Going alone strengthens negotiation position
  • Control the timing and circumstances for potential partnerships
  • A less extensive phase III program widens the universe of potential partners
  • Out-licensing at a later stage of development increases the value of cobitolimod
