IgAN Potential First-in-Class Indication Expansion Resourced for Potential Launch
eGFR normalization may suggest disease modification
Only program with 2-yr data in Phase 2
potential for commercial
differentiation, if approved
Only investigational drug with at home self administration of 1 mL QW and
>90% patient retention at 1.5 yr
Phase 3 read out on track for Q2 2025;
if successful, anticipated PDUFA 2026
B cell modulation represents a treatment paradigm shift for autoimmune diseases
Atacicept clinical data to date supports
potential for chronic administration
Progressive expansion in addressable patients: initial autoimmune kidney disease opportunity >200K
Additional potential upside in hematologic, rheumatologic, and other kidney indications
Regulatory exclusivity expected through 2038 in US and 2037 in EU
Currently ~$384M cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2024
Management focused on potential for successful commercial launch
