.
Zoptarelin Doxorubicin for Cancer Treatment
• Zoptarelin doxorubicin (doxorubicin peptide conjugate) represents a new concept in oncology by combining a
synthetic peptide carrier and a well-known chemotherapy agent, doxorubicin.
- Directs chemotherapy specifically to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone
(LHRH)-receptor expressing tumors
- May lead to a more targeted treatment with less damage to healthy tissue
Endometrial Cancer
• A 500-patient, Phase 3 study in women with severe endometrial cancer is underway in North America,
Europe, and Israel (initial results expected during 2015)
• If approved, zoptarelin doxorubicin could become the first FDA-approved medical therapy for treating recurrent
endometrial cancer. Medical therapies used in treating recurrent endometrial cancer account for
approximately $300 million to $400 million in the U.S. and between $150 million and $250 million in
European markets.
Ovarian and Prostate Cancer
• Holds orphan drug designations in the U.S. and EU for treating ovarian cancer
• Phase 2 trial with zoptarelin doxorubicin in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is complete
• An investigator-initiated Phase 1/2 trial already underway in prostate cancer (Phase 1 data published in
Clinical Cancer Research [Dec. 2014])
.
Macrilen™
• Macrilen™ (macimorelin) is an orally active ghrelin agonist for use in evaluating AGHD.
• There is not currently an FDA-approved diagnostic test for AGHD.
• Aeterna plans to conduct a new confirmatory clinical study to demonstrate the efficacy of Macrilen™
for use in AGHD, as well as a dedicated thorough QT study to evaluate the effect of Macrilen™ on
myocardial repolarization.

  • 8. . Zoptarelin Doxorubicin for Cancer Treatment • Zoptarelin doxorubicin (doxorubicin peptide conjugate) represents a new concept in oncology by combining a synthetic peptide carrier and a well-known chemotherapy agent, doxorubicin. - Directs chemotherapy specifically to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)-receptor expressing tumors - May lead to a more targeted treatment with less damage to healthy tissue Endometrial Cancer • A 500-patient, Phase 3 study in women with severe endometrial cancer is underway in North America, Europe, and Israel (initial results expected during 2015) • If approved, zoptarelin doxorubicin could become the first FDA-approved medical therapy for treating recurrent endometrial cancer. Medical therapies used in treating recurrent endometrial cancer account for approximately $300 million to $400 million in the U.S. and between $150 million and $250 million in European markets. Ovarian and Prostate Cancer • Holds orphan drug designations in the U.S. and EU for treating ovarian cancer • Phase 2 trial with zoptarelin doxorubicin in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is complete • An investigator-initiated Phase 1/2 trial already underway in prostate cancer (Phase 1 data published in Clinical Cancer Research [Dec. 2014])
