QR-1123 for P23H adRP

• P23H mutation in the rhodopsin (RHO) gene causes autosomal dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa (adRP)• Rhodopsin is the light sensitive pigment in

rods in the retina• P23H mutant rhodopsin is misfolded and

toxic, causing progressive loss of rods (night and peripheral vision affected)

• Eventual loss of cones (central vision) causes patients to become legally blind by ~40-50 years of age

• P23H is the most prevalent mutation associated with adRP in the US, accounting for ~2,500 patients

• QR-1123 inhibits the formation of toxic mutant version of rhodopsin protein• QR-1123 selectively binds to the mutant

RHO mRNA• Gapmer structure causes RNase H

mediated cleavage of mutant mRNA without affecting the WT mRNA

• QR-1123 slows retinal degeneration in aggressive humanized mouse models of adRP

• Potential to reverse toxic effect and restore vision in P23H adRP patients
