Highlights
▪ Pharnext, based on the positive pivotal Phase 3, intends to file its NDA formarketingapproval in 2019 in the US and Europe for a potential launch in 2020
▪ CMT1A patients have no approved drug to treat their chronic neuropathy and Pharnext
PXT3003 could be the first therapy aimed at treating this severe debilitating disease
▪ PXT3003 has blockbuster potential
▪ Strong IP portfolio including composition of matter through 2030 (without extensions) for
PXT3003
▪ Having succeeded Phase 3 with its first drug candidate coming from its powerful
Pleotherapy platform, Pharnext is committed to developing additional product candidates
for other major unmet medical needs

PLEO-CMT: Pivotal Phase 3 Study Design and Endpoints
International, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-
controlled pivotal Phase 3 study
Primary endpoint: Disability measured by the change in ONLS
scale in CMT1A patients treated for 12 to 15 months
▪ ONLS is a 12-point scale evaluating disability
▪ 90% of the patients in the study had a score between 2-4
▪ A 0.3 point difference vs. placebo in ONLS was determined to be
meaningful (Cohen J., 1988)
▪ FDA and EMA agreed to use ONLS as the primary endpoint for
this study
Secondary endpoints analysis include:
▪ 10 meter walk test (10MWT)
▪ Nine-hole peg test performed by non-dominant hand
▪ CMT Impairment Score (Clinical and Electrophysiological =
CMTNSv2)
- sensory items*
- purely clinical items (CMTES)**
ONLS = Overall Neuropathy Limitation Scale* Sensory subset of CMTNSv2, items 1,4 and 5** CMTES is derived from CMTNSv2, items 1 to 7 excluding nerve conductions

PLEO-CMT: Safety and Tolerability
▪ Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) were similar amongst the three groups and the majority were mild
▪ TEAEs leading to treatment withdrawal were similar in all three groups
▪ A single serious TEAE leading to treatment withdrawal occurred in the lower dose group
(benin thyroïd adenoma)
▪ PXT3003 was safe and well tolerated and showed a similar safety profile as seen in Phase 2

Path Forward
Q1 2019: Type B meeting request with FDA
1H 2019: Initiation of Phase 3 pediatric study of PXT3003 in CMT1A
2H 2019: Results of extension study (PLEO-CMT-FU) of the long-term safety and
tolerability of PXT3003
2H 2019: Submission of New Drug Application (NDA) to FDA and Marketing
Authorization Application (MAA) to EMA
2020: Commercial launch

Large Market Opportunity
Significant unmet need: no pharmacological treatments
currently available for CMT1A; only supportive care options
