22
C-SAF- 22 Raptiva clinical studies imposed rigorous criteria during the follow-up period after Raptiva treatment Immediate transition to systemic therapies was prohibited Raptiva was discontinued without tapering Initially, use of other psoriasis therapies was restricted, even if the patient started experiencing return of psoriasis Restricted Use of Other Medications after Treatment with Raptiva
23
C-SAF- 23 13% of the patients experienced psoriasis adverse events after treatment Most events were mild to moderate Half the events (6.3%) were plaque recurrence 14 patients (<1%) experienced a serious adverse event of psoriasis after Raptiva treatment (0.5% during the formal 12 week follow-up period) –Most events occurred in non-responders –Most events occurred in patients receiving more than 1 mg/kg –Types of serious adverse events: 5 erythrodermic, 5 pustular, 1 erythrodermic/pustular, 3 flare –All patients recovered Psoriasis Adverse Events after Treatment with Raptiva

25
C-SAF- 25 Raptiva Discontinuation: Summary There were psoriasis adverse events after Raptiva therapy, 14 of which were serious Patients should be observed carefully after treatment Transition to other therapies should be considered at discontinuation
26
C-SAF- 26 Arthritis Adverse Events after Treatment 4.9% of patients experienced an adverse event of arthritis after Raptiva treatment In the 1 mg/kg group, 3.7% of the patients experienced arthritis adverse events after treatment 7 patients (<1%) experienced a serious adverse event of arthritis after Raptiva treatment
27
C-SAF- 27 Outline Overview Clinical Adverse Events –During Treatment –After Treatment Laboratory Findings Extended Treatment Safety Data Summary
28
C-SAF- 28 Laboratory Findings Leukocytosis due to demargination, reversible on cessation of Raptiva Mild elevation of alkaline phosphatase (mean elevation of 6.9 U/L in the 1 mg/kg group) –No patients with Grade 2 evelvations (>2.5X normal) –Not associated with elevations in LFT’s –Not associated with clinical findings Mild elevation of C-reactive protein (mean elevation of 0.4 mg/dL in the 1 mg/kg group) –Not associated with clinical findings No sign of hepatic or renal toxicity

C-SAF- 30 Raptiva Extended Treatment Safety Profile Week 0-12: patients from controlled studies Other weeks: patients from extended treatment studies (n = 1620)(n = 1115)(n = 318)(n = 247)(n = 228) Weeks % of patients with adverse event
31
C-SAF- 31 Extended Treatment Safety No new safety signals observed in the extended studies No increase in rate of individual adverse events Genentech is committed to a phase IV surveillance study to further characterize Raptiva’s long-term safety profile
32
C-SAF- 32 Outline Overview Clinical Adverse Events –During Treatment –After Treatment Laboratory Findings Long-term Safety Data Summary
33
C-SAF- 33 Summary of Clinical Safety Most common adverse events were mild flu-like symptoms Low rate of serious adverse events and malignancies, similar to placebo Low rate of serious infections, similar to expected background rate Infrequent and reversible thrombocytopenia Uncommon and manageable psoriasis adverse events No evidence of hepatic or renal toxicity Favorable extended treatment safety profile
