MAT2501 Targeting NTM and Drug - Resistant Gram - Negative Bacterial Infections • MAT2501 formulates the broad - spectrum aminoglycoside Amikacin into our lipid - crystal nano - particle cochleate technology • Active IND for the treatment of Non - Tuberculous - Mycobacterium (NTM) infections (environmentally transmitted organisms) - Chronic lung infection with similar course of progression as Tuberculosis - Approximately 50,000 to 90,000 patients in the US; 40% refractory to treatment - IV amikacin used as add - on therapy in refractory patients • Demonstrated efficacy in pre - clinical models of disseminated NTM and pulmonary NTM infections, as well as biofilm models of NTM • MAT2501 received QIDP and Orphan Drug designations from FDA • Company is exploring treatment of more acute drug - resistant gram negative infections 7

 

 

MAT2501 Positive Phase 1 Results • Single - ascending - dose study in healthy volunteers (200, 400, 800mg) • Evaluated drug kinetics (blood, urine, feces), tolerability and acute safety • Peak blood levels were an area of focus; IV amikacin is know to generate high peak levels with potential kidney - and neuro - toxic effects (hearing loss), therefore safety limits exist for IV amikacin (<10 µg/ml before redosing, peak levels not to exceed 35 µg/ml) - Single - dose MAT2501 Amikacin peak levels did not exceed 0.1 µg/ml, leaving more than 100 x safety margin; our thesis: this is supportive of meeting this parameter under multi - dosing - Other kinetic data indicating significant absorption and distribution: e.g. single - dose peak levels exceeding 3 µg/ml in urine (30 - 40x blood level), >0.2 µg/ml on day 2 (>2x peak plasma) • No serious adverse (AE) events reported - Most Adverse Events were of mild an gastro - intestinal nature - These AEs were similar to those seen with MAT2203; not believed of antibiotic nature • Tolerability data appear to support 400mg BID dosing; to be confirmed in multiple - ascending dose Phase 1 study (evaluate: kinetics, safety, tolerability) 8

 

 

9 MAT2501 has High Differentiation Potential in a Rapidly Evolving Anti - Infective Arena Preclinical screening work in drug - resistant gram negative infections: e.g. UTI, pneumonia, Acinetobacter, E. coli, Kliebsiella NTM Infections: • Lung, refractory to guideline therapy • M. abscessus • Cystic Fibrosis Next Step : Multiple Ascending Dose Phase 1 Study MAT2501 HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE FIRST ORAL AMINOGYLOCIDE Potential to bring a new class of anti - biotics into the community setting, while reducing hospitalization costs

 

 

MAT2203: C - Amphotericin B • Broad Spectrum Fungicidal - Amphotericin B is perhaps the broadest spectrum antifungal agent - Designated as QIDP with Fast Track Status for treatment of aspergillus, invasive candidiasis and prevention of invasive fungal infection • Few Drug – Drug Interactions - Does not experience the drug - drug interactions typically seen with many triazole antifungal agents as amphotericin is not metabolized in the liver - Allows for broader use with complicated oncology regimens, currently available and under development • Cochleate Benefits - Cochleates are designed to provide oral bioavailability , dramatic reduction in toxicity and targeted delivery 10

 

 

MAT2203: Phase 2 Program to Support Phase 3 Development for IFI Prevention Mucocutaneous Candidiasis, up to N=16 Phase 2 Studies Vulvovaginal Candidiasis N=75 Tolerability PK & Other N=16 - 20 Efficacy versus active control in larger patient population Tolerability/other clinical factors in immunocompromised and hematologic malignancy patients; 11 Next Milestone Interim data to be presented on June 3, 2017 at ASM Microbe 2017 Announce topline data in June 2017 Commence study in June 2017 Efficacy, long - term treatment of immunocompromised patients
