RNA DNA

QR-010

  • Single stranded 33-mer RNA
  • ligonucleotide
  • Chemically modified for stability

and uptake

  • Designed to target F508del

mutation

  • Formulated in saline solution
  • Inhaled delivery for efficient lung

delivery and systemic uptake

SLIDE 4

Nasal Potential Difference is direct measurement of CFTR function

  • NPD is the only direct in

vivo measurement capable of separating sodium and chloride transport

  • NPD has been used as

an important endpoint in clinical trials evaluating therapeutic agents

Study Design

ProQR Therapeutics | NACFC 2016 5

Open-label NPD study in F508del CF subjects

  • 8 homozygous and 8 compound heterozygous (all-

comers) subjects >18 years old

  • Multiple dose design: 12 doses (3 per week x 4

weeks)

  • Intranasal administration
  • 5 expert participating sites in EU (CTN) and US (TDN)
  • Endpoints:
  • CFTR-mediated total chloride transport (primary)
  • Other NPD parameters
  • Safety, SNOT-22 and NERS assessments
  • Sweat test

Study Conduct

10 subjects F508del/F508del were enrolled in cohort 1

  • There were no discontinuations
  • All subjects received all 12 doses

8 subjects were enrolled in the F508del heterozygous cohort 2

  • There were no discontinuations
  • 7 subjects received all 12 doses; 1 subject missed 1 dose due to AE (malaise)

NPD tests

  • Standardized SOP with centralized solutions have been used
  • All tracings have been read and scored by a blinded central reader
  • Data was analysed including subjects meeting NPD parameters at baseline within

the range as defined by the TDN-CCD of >-6.6 mV

QR-010 Improves CFTR Function

  • Proof-of-concept has been established for QR-010
  • QR-010 significantly improved CFTR function in F508del/F508del subjects
  • Supported by NPD sensitivity analyses
  • Positive change in sodium transport (maximum basal PD)
  • QR-010 did not improve CFTR function in F508del heterozygous subjects
  • Further data analysis ongoing
  • Preclinical work being considered to better understand the impact of the second allele
  • NPD effect size comparable to other CF approved therapies
