*Includes discolouration, erythema, rash, induration; †Includes proteinuria, red blood cells in urine
Most commonly reported adverse events include injection-site reactions and renal adverse events (including subclinical proteinuria); cases of thrombocytopenia (moderate-to-severe) have been observed
Summary of key safety data
Two subjects in DEMAND III at 6 mg/kg/wk had serious adverse events (SAEs) reported by the investigator as drug-related (glomerulonephritis; intracranial venous sinus thrombosis and spinal pain); no SAEs were reported in the placebo group

“In spite of being in the typical period of decline our son’s strength seems to be stable since starting on the study. His endurance (in particular) continues to astound us with its improvements. What I am asking is that Prosensa allows us to continue on with the study on compassionate grounds while this analysis is performed. We believe there is a strong benefit to our son, and that the time spent waiting for the data is critical."
Parents Support Re-dosing
Letters of support from parents with boys participating in clinical trials
“During the course of the trial he made many amazing achievements. My son had never been able to pull himself up onto a swing […] Just within the last 6 months, he is able to swing with no additional help. […] His quality of life has been improved dramatically. He has never felt better and he hasn’t complained of his legs hurting in about a year. While GSK and Prosensa look for the right way to measure improvements, we ask on compassionate grounds for our son to continue on Drisapersen while analysis takes place."
Re-initiation of Drisapersen Dosing
Re-dosing will begin in Q3 2014
First cohorts in North-America and Europe Re-dosing will take a staged approach, under new treatment protocol or via an expanded access program Drug supply being transferred from GSK Active outreach to existing sites ongoing

Impact on Other DMD Programs
Ongoing studies continue As we learn more information from the drisapersen clinical program, we may adapt our findings to our follow on programs Currently too early to speculate about the exact impact on other compounds As soon as we have more clarity, we will provide additional information Prosensa is committed to finding a solution for as many DMD boys as possible

Thank You!
We would like to thank all the boys that have participated or are participating in the Prosensa clinical programs We realize how much commitment and time it takes to participate in a clinical study and how difficult this period is We would also like to thank the community at large for their input, confidence and patience We will continue to work closely with clinical experts, regulators and patient groups on the next steps We remain committed to doing what is in the best interest of the Duchenne community, to drisapersen and to our other exon-skipping programmes

Summary
Drisapersen Further analyses of results suggest treatment benefit in patients with less advanced disease; longer treatment may be required for those with more severe disease Re-dosing the first cohort of boys in Q3 2014 We expect to communicate on a potential regulatory path forward before the end of June Follow-on programmes Ongoing dose-ranging clinical trials with PRO045 and PRO053 continue Follow-up studies may be adapted dependent up on findings from drisapersen Discovery programme to address rare mutations a high priority
