Rationale for the 5R Philosophy

Why do Drugs Fail in the Clinic Why do Drugs Fail in the Clinic? AstraZeneca Determined Late-Stage Failure Linked to Target Selection Efficacy- This could be due to: Insufficient target engagement and/or poor pharmacokinetics Preclinical models did not translate into human disease modulation Insufficient target validation data linking target modulation (GOF and LOF) to disease Safety- This could be due to: Mechanism based toxicity Off-target toxicity Molecule (or metabolite) toxicity Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2016, 15, 817

AstraZeneca’s 5R Philosophy Focused Resources on Most Validated Targets Which Led to Improved Productivity Metrics The Right Target Strong link (human genetics) between target & disease Strong Target Validation Available & predictive biomarkers The Right Tissue Adequate drug exposure in tissue of interest Defined PD biomarkers Clear understanding of PK/PD/functional relationships The Right Safety Understanding ALL on-target modulation effects (therapeutic index) The Right Patients Know how to identify and stratify patients The Right Commercial Potential Differentiated versus standard of care (SOC) Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2014, 13, 419

Definition of Target Target: is a molecule in the body, usually a protein, that is intrinsically associated with a particular disease process and that could be addressed by a drug to produce a desired therapeutic effect.

Definition of Target Validation Gain of Function (GOF), Loss of Function (LOF) experiments Target Validation: the process of physiologically, pathologically, and pharmacologically evaluating a biomolecule. Might be performed at the molecular, cellular, or whole animal level. Disease association, genetics and expression data In vitro and in vivo disease models Target ID & Validation Transgenic models (knock in or knock out) Understanding of molecular signaling pathways Pharmaco-logical modulation with Tool cmpd

TEMPLATES & INSTRUCTIONS

Message to PI’s: Interact with WARF Therapeutics Early & Often Pre-submission: PI and WARF Therapeutics can have regular meetings to discuss idea(s) Review program data, identify gaps and plan next steps Submission Process to WARF Therapeutics PI submits IDR & “Program Nomination Form” Formal presentation made to Scientific Advisory Board Program Decision & Prioritization If Program accepted, next steps in collaboration with WARF Therapeutics include Develop work plan, Go / No Go decisions, and timelines Discuss and agree on public disclosure/publication plan Determine model and allocate resources If Program not accepted Provide feedback and rationale for the decision Suggest experiments that if successful could lead to future acceptance

Safety Specify known target related pharmacology that could impact the therapeutic index in patients Specify proteins with high sequence homology Patients Specify what patients would be targeted for this drug How would patients be identified or stratified? Commercial Potential Specify what is the Standard of Care (SOC) for this disease (WARF Therapeutics to fill in) How will a drug for this target differentiate versus SOC? (WARF Therapeutics to fill in) Specify the competitive landscape for this target or indication? (WARF Therapeutics to fill in) Modality / Assay Specify the preferred modality (small molecule, PROTAC, peptide, protein, antibody, anti-sense, siRNA) Has this target been screened before? If so, was it successful or unsuccessful? What assays and reagents are available for the proposed screen? Why is the proposed approach thought to be innovative and potentially grant competitive?
