1 Sodium Oxybate in the Treatment of Fibromyalgia Sodium Oxybate in the Treatment of Fibromyalgia: Results from an International Phase 3 Clinical Trial Norman Rosenthal, MD Medical Director Capital Clinical Research Associates Rockville, MD Sodium Oxybate is not FDA approved for the treatment of Fibromyalgia

2 Fibromyalgia (FM) Chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain. Associated symptoms: fatigue, sleep disturbance, tenderness, functional disability, depression and cognitive difficulty. 1 Prevalence of FM 2 - 5% worldwide. 2 Impact of FM on patient function: increased disability and reduced productivity. 3 Associated with high health care costs. 4 1 Mease et al.

3 Current FDA Approved Treatments for FM Pregabalin: anti-convulsant that binds the α2-δ subunit of the voltage-gated Ca 2+ channel; approved in 2007 for the management of FM Duloxetine: selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake Inhibitor (SSNRI) approved in 2008 for the management of FM Milnacipran: selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSNRI) approved in 2009 for the management of FM

4 Sodium Oxybate (SXB) Sodium salt of  -hydroxybutyrate (GHB), an endogenous neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator and metabolite of GABA 1 Approved for treatment of narcolepsy symptoms (EU, US, Canada) 2 –Standard of care for narcolepsy 3 Approved in some EU countries as an IV anesthetic and for treatment of alcohol withdrawal Increases slow-wave-sleep and reduces sleep disruption 1 1 Pardi et al.

5 Study Design - Sodium Oxybate for Fibromyalgia Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design at 108 sites US and EU (n=573) Treatment Groups: – Sodium oxybate 4.5 g/night (SXB4.5g) – Sodium oxybate 6 g/night (SXB6g) – Placebo (PBO) Data on file, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Most Common Treatment-Emergent AEs with incidence ≥ 5% and at least twice the rate of placebo

12 Conclusions - Efficacy Sodium oxybate administration resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in: Pain (≥ 30% and ≥ 50% reduction) ≥ 30% pain reduction seen as early as 1 week Patient Functionality (FIQ ≥ 30%) Patient’s Global Impression of Change (PGIC)

13 Conclusions – Safety Generally well-tolerated Adverse event (AE) profile similar in FM clinical studies to that seen in the narcolepsy population

14 Overall Conclusion Data from this study is comparable with previous Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials of SXB treatment in fibromyalgia.

18 Sleep Quality (Jenkins Sleep Score) Results: LS mean change from BL showed that treatment with both doses of SXB had greater reductions in sleep disturbance compared to placebo (both p<0.001). How often in the past month did you: 1.Have trouble falling asleep? 2.Wake up several times per night? 3.Have trouble staying asleep (including waking up too early)? 4.Wake up after your usual amount of sleep feeling tired and worn out?
