US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 18 Efficacy Measures Exercise tolerance (6-minute walk) Signs and symptoms of PAH Dyspnea-fatigue rating Clinical deterioration –Death, transplant or worsening requiring IV therapy Borg dyspnea score Hemodynamics Quality of life
19
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 19 6-Minute Walk Test Unencouraged test Practice test (within 6 weeks) Independent assessor –No involvement in study or patient care –Blinded to patient treatment –Was not aware of clinical course –Results not communicated to study staff –Separate CRFs kept in locked & secure files Borg dyspnea score at end of test
20
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 20 Symptoms and Signs 8 symptoms and 8 signs of PAH Symptoms and Signs were noted by the physician as either being “present” or “absent” A change score thus represented either first development of a new symptom/sign or complete resolution of a pre-existing symptom/sign

22
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 22 Dyspnea-Fatigue Rating Physician-based assessment Rated symptoms and their clinical impact Consisted of three components, each rated 0-4: –Magnitude of task (at normal pace) –Magnitude of pace –Functional impairment in general activities Composite score was derived Lower scores reflected more symptomatic patient
23
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 23 Dyspnea Fatigue Rating Magnitude of Task Symptomatic with: 4 = Extraordinary activity 3 = Major activities 2 = Moderate or average tasks 1 = Light activities 0 = At rest
24
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 24 Hemodynamic Measurements Hemodynamic measurements were measured by right heart catheterization at baseline and after 12 weeks. To minimize bias, other efficacy parameters were completed prior to invasive measurements
25
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 25 Quality of Life (Minnesota Questionnaire) Added at the request of the FDA after start of the study and thus assessed only in subgroup Included evaluation of physical, emotional, and global dimensions 21 questions were answered using a 0-5 response scale (a lower score was “better”)
26
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 26 Prespecified Endpoints Primary endpoints –Exercise tolerance (6-minute walk distance) Secondary endpoints –Signs and symptoms of disease* –Dyspnea-fatigue rating* –Clinical deterioration (deaths, transplants or worsening of the underlying disease necessitating intravenous rescue therapy)* –Borg dyspnea score –Hemodynamics

US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 82 Other Safety Considerations Treprostinil was not associated with adverse changes in: –serum electrolytes –renal and hepatic function –hemoglobin/hematocrit –platelet count –coagulation parameters –ECG intervals There were no clinically important drug interactions or idiosyncratic events
83
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 83 Safety Conclusions The adverse effects of treprostinil were related to its pharmacologic properties and were generally not serious. Serious AEs occurred with similar frequency in the placebo and treprostinil groups. Localized infusion site pain and reactions were common, but generally were manageable and did not limit increases in dose or require the withdrawal of treatment. Treprostinil was not associated with any significant changes in laboratory parameters or end-organ toxicity.

US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 85 Treprostinil Microinfusion delivery device Self-insertion of subcutaneous catheter at home No reconstitution; ready for infusion Stable at ambient temperature; no cold packs Addresses unmet medical need
86
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 86 Benefits of Treprostinil In patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, treprostinil produced clinically meaningful improvements in: exercise tolerance (distance and symptoms) symptoms of PAH hemodynamics
87
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 87 Relation of Benefits to Risks of Treprostinil Since treprostinil produces clinically meaningful effects without potentially life- threatening risks, both patients and physicians can weigh on an ongoing and individual basis the severity of infusion site pain against the magnitude of improvement in symptoms. As a result, the benefits of treprostinil can be expected to outweigh the risks of treatment in each patient who continues to receive treatment with the drug.
88
US NDA No. 21-272 Remodulin Injection 88 Proposed Indication Treprostinil is indicated for the treatment of symptoms in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
