Caplacizumab (anti-vWF) – wholly-owned

Potential first-in-class treatment of acquired

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP)

11

Caplacizumab – anti-vWF Nanobody

First-in-class potential for the treatment of aTTP

• Estimated annual market potential ~€800M1

• Feb 2017: MAA filed in Europe for approval

• Jul 2017: received Fast Track designation from the FDA

• Phase III HERCULES topline results expected in late Q3 2017

• Phase I results in Japanese healthy volunteers expected in Q4 2017

• 2018: anticipated first launch in Europe and BLA submission in USA

• 2019: anticipated launch in USA

• Ablynx expected to lead commercialisation in USA, Canada and Europe

• Orphan Drug Status (EU/USA) – Patent protection potentially up to 2035

12

Caplacizumab unique mode of action

Rapidly stops formation of microclots

ULvWF and anti-vWF Nanobody

ULvWF

Ex vivo assay for platelet string formation

Fluorescence microscopy image of platelets adhering to UL-vWF in plasma of an aTTP patient

Without treatment, fluorescently labelled platelets adhere to

UL-vWF, observed as string-like structures

Caplacizumab inhibits the formation of platelet strings and potentially

the associated microvascular thrombi in many organs

Caplacizumab blocks the platelet – ULvWF interaction

Ultra-Large (UL)

vWF multimers UL-vWF multimers

cause platelet string

formation

ADAMTS13 activity is

impaired

endothelium

Caplacizumab binds to A1

domain of vWF and thereby

inhibits platelet string formation

Inhibitory autoantibodies

13

Acquired TTP

• aTTP is an acute disease leading to morbidity and mortality

– causes extensive microclot formation in small blood vessels throughout the body

– leads to tissue ischemia, organ dysfunction, and major thromboembolic events (stroke, myocardial infarction, thrombosis)

– up to 20% mortality rate in the acute phase1 and ~ 36% of patients suffer from further disease recurrences2

• We estimate a total of ~7,500 aTTP episodes p.a. in North America, Europe and Japan

• High unmet medical need with no approved therapeutic drug currently available

14

There is a high unmet need for a novel treatment option that would result in:

• faster resolution of the acute episode of aTTP and related resulting organ damage

• reduction in risk of mortality and thromboembolic events

• prevention of recurrences while on treatment

• reduction in risk of refractoriness to treatment

• reduction in dependency on PEX

Caplacizumab

Addressing the unmet need in aTTP

TITAN Phase II study of caplacizumab1

• 39% reduction in time to platelet normalisation

• 71% fewer patients with recurrences during treatment

Post-hoc analysis2

• 74% reduction in the frequency of major thromboembolic events

(11% vs 43%)

• dramatic reduction in refractoriness to treatment

(6% vs 22%)

Vobarilizumab (anti-IL-6R) – collaboration

with AbbVie

Potential novel treatment for RA and SLE

34

Vobarilizumab – anti-IL-6R Nanobody

Potential novel treatment for RA and SLE

• Opportunity in multi-billion dollar markets

• RA:

– encouraging results from two Phase IIb RA studies (N=~600)

– open-label extension study ongoing

• SLE

– chronic multi-system inflammatory disease with unmet medical need

– Phase II study ongoing (N=~300); topline data in H1 2018

• We will wait for the SLE data and AbbVie’s opt-in decision

before deciding on our future strategy

RA: rheumatoid arthritis; SLE: systemic lupus erythematosus

35

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

• As a combination therapy with MTX, vobarilizumab had a positive impact on

clinical efficacy endpoints after 24 weeks of treatment

– high ACR50 and ACR70 responses of up to 61% and 45%

– up to 70% of the patients achieved low disease activity* based on DAS28CRP of

which 51% were in remission**

• As a monotherapy, up to 50% more patients achieved DAS28CRP remission

with vobarilizumab compared to tocilizumab (41% vs. 27%) after 12 weeks

of treatment

• Vobarilizumab showed a favorable safety profile and has the potential for

effective monthly administration

*DAS28CRP ≤ 3.2 **DAS28CRP <2.6

Positive Phase IIb study results with vobarilizumab reported

Vobarilizumab has potential for disease modifying activity

supporting treat-to-target management of RA

36

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Auto-antibodies are the hallmark of the disease

• SLE market estimated to grow to $2.2 billion by 20252

• Chronic multi-system inflammatory disease with serious pathological conditions

– joints and skin are mostly affected

– patients suffer from severe cardiovascular, CNS

and renal complications

– fluctuating disease activity with flares

– diverse and individualised therapeutic approach

– prevalence 20-150 per 100,0001; continues to grow

– predominantly affects women; mostly diagnosed

between 15 and 45 years old

– more common and more severe in African-

Americans, Hispanics and Asian women

1 Lawrence et al ., Arthritis Rheum., 1998; Chakravarty et al ., Arthritis Rheum., 2007; Pons-Estel et al ., Semin Arthritis Rheum., 2010; 2 Decision Resources 2016

37

High unmet medical need in SLE

• Standard-of-care

– corticosteroids, anti-malarials and immunosuppressants commonly used

– addition of biologicals for severe cases

• Benlysta (belimumab) approved by FDA since 2011

restricted access due to reimbursement criteria

• Rituxan/MabThera (rituximab) used off-label

• High unmet need

– reduction of disease activity

– steroid sparing to reduce risk of future organ damage

– prevention of flares

– reduction of cardiovascular mortality

– improved health-related quality-of-life

Current therapies are not always effective and have many side-effects

38

Vobarilizumab in SLE

Rationale for approach

Ball et al., Lupus, 2013; Tackey et al., Lupus, 2004; Mao et al., Clin Rheumatol., 2014; Wallace et al., Ann Rheum Dis, 2017; Il lei et al., Arthritis & Rheumatism; 2010

• IL-6 levels are elevated in patients with SLE

• Inhibition or knock-out of IL-6R in pre-clinical models had a strong impact on the

SLE phenotype

• Clinical studies targeting both IL-6 and IL-6R have shown encouraging

preliminary efficacy data in SLE, though safety appears to have presented

problems

• We have been able to learn from previous studies in designing the STEADY

trial, particularly with regard to enrollment criteria

• Vobarilizumab has shown in the RA studies that it targets IL-6R effectively and

has a favourable safety profile

Immuno-oncology (IO)

1 BofA Merril l Lynch, July 2015

Changing the cancer treatment paradigm

• Market expected to grow to >$43bn by 20201

• IO drugs expected to treat 60% of cancers

• Proven substantial survival impact

Large market potential

• Increasing number of targets

• Combination therapies are the future

Multiple targets

Nature Reviews - 2012

• Bind multiple targets (2, 3, 4 or 5) with one Nanobody molecule

• Potential to increase efficacy and avoid escape mechanisms

• Technology allows rapid exploration of combinations

• Manufacturing simplicity and cost-effectiveness

Multi-specific Nanobodies -

the next wave!

Initial focus on immune-mediated inflammatory diseases

• Chronic disorders characterized by dysregulation of immune pathways

• Associated with significant morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life

• Growing need for novel treatments to modify disease state

• Affect 5–7% of western populations1

• Market expected to grow to $74Bn in 2022

Outlook

Focus on sustainable value creation

• HERCULES Phase III data anticipated to be available in late Q3 2017

• Results from Phase I with caplacizumab in Japanese healthy volunteers planned

in Q4 2017

• Preparations for commercialisation of caplacizumab ongoing

• In Q4 2017, we expect to file for regulatory approvals

– to start a trial with ALX-0171 in Japanese infants infected with RSV

– to study the use of ALX-0171 in adults who have undergone a stem cell transplant and

have become infected with RSV

• The STEADY trial with vobarilizumab in SLE is expected to report data in H1 2018

• The RESPIRE trial with ALX-0171 in RSV infected infants should report data in H2 2018
