Comprehensive record of positive Clinical Data over time
HOLOCLAR® Clinical Development Plan FPFV January 2016 HLSTM04 N=15 HLSTM01 N=104 Success 72,1% HLSTM02 N=29 60% Favourable Safety Profile HOLOSIGHT N=100 HOLOCORE N=65 October 2015
12
HOLOCORE: study design
Phase IV, multinational, open-label, uncontrolled clinical trial Single arm, with second treatment option after 12 months from the first graft Efficacy and safety of HOLOCLAR® for restoration of corneal epithelium in patients with LSCD due to ocular burns Visual acuity post-keratoplasty included in HOLOCORE follow-up Endpoint at 1 year, follow-up for at least 2–3 years Combined primary endpoint (CNV and epithelial defect) after first ACLSCT ACLST, autologous cultivated limbal stem cell transplantation CNV, corneal neovascularisation
13
HOLOCORE project plan Single administration of HOLOCLAR® with second treatment in case of failure
14
HOLOSIGHT: registry study design
European observational, multinational, multicentre, prospective cohort study For each patient enrolled: Start of the observation: day of the corneal biopsy (consent signature) End of the observation: 5 years after first HOLOCLAR® implant Patient population: first 100 patients treated with HOLOCLAR® in the routine clinical practice setting who agree to participate in the registry Follow-up period: 5 years Setting: 10–25 centres in 10–12 European countries
15
Provides Easy and Supported access to treatment
Holoclar will be delivered to patients in Europe thanks to an integrated and “service-based” logistic business model Chiesi does not only guarantee to deliver the product but the structure will also ensure all the logistic phases of biopsy taking, manufacturing, shipment of cell tissue and implant
16
HOLOCLAR® Key Values First EMA-approved product for LSCD due to ocular burns Revolutionary Product: First stem-cell product approved in EU using Autologous Stem Cells Comprehensive record of positive Clinical Data over time Certified High-Quality production standard Highly labour-intensive product by extremely Qualified personnel Provides Easy and Supported access to treatment Proven to be a Cost-Effective alternative to conservative management
17
Before Holoclar® After Holoclar®
Pre-surgery: Chemical burn, 3years from the accident No previous surgery Neovascularization in 4 quadrants with central corneal involvement 1 year post Holoclar implant: Avascular corneal surface with regular and stable epithelium Best Corrected Visual Acuity: 0.9
18
The pipeline HOLOCLAR® HoloMO HoloGENE BIOTRACHEA Bio-COMET Endomatrix
Preclinical Phase I Phase II Phase III Regulatory Launch HOLOCLAR® HoloMO HoloGENE BIOTRACHEA Bio-COMET Endomatrix
19
The future Additionally, Chiesi is working with Holostem on a new product: reconstruction of oral mucosa on to the patient’s eye Will potentially allow treatment of other forms of LSCD (total bilateral and other pathologies such as aniridia)
