Total Skin Absorption of Allantoin (µg) Over 48 hours From a Single Application INTRODUCTION Allantoin is a heterocyclic organic compound that has been investigated in wound healing, using formulations with minimal or unknown dermal penetration properties1,2 SD-101 is a novel, proprietary, topical, allantoin-containing cream in development for the daily treatment of wounds caused by all major types of epidermolysis bullosa.3 SD-101 has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the US Food and Drug Administration4 RESULTS • • In the SD-101 formulation: There was evidence of skin absorption of allantoin in all models (Figures 2 and 3 and Table 1) Skin absorption of allantoin was lowest in intact human skin (Figure 3 and Table 1) Skin absorption increased with higher concentrations of allantoin in the dermis-only human model; uptake between the barrier-free and dermis-only human models was similar Allantoin skin absorption in the human skin models was slow (8 hours for dermis-only), suggesting a long skin-exposure time (Figures 2C and 2D) • Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic disorder typically manifesting at birth as skin blistering/erosion and, in some cases, the epithelial lining of other organs, in response to minimal friction/trauma5 In a phase 2b study, patients with epidermolysis bullosa treated with SD-101 6% (SD-101 with 6% allantoin) demonstrated a higher rate of wound closure over a 1-month period than placebo-treated patients3 SD-101 6% is currently in phase 3 clinical development Figure 2. Skin Absorption of Allantoin (0.5% to 9%), a Component of SD-101, Within 40 Hours in Various Skin Models In vitro human cadaver and porcine models are recognized valuable tools to assess the skin absorption and to determine the pharmacokinetics of topically applied drugs6-8 Separate preclinical studies of SD-101 with allantoin concentrations of up to 9% indicated no systemic absorption9 • Data are represented as mean ± standard error from 3 replicates per formulation as total mass (µg). aBarrier-free study was conducted over 24 hours. OBJECTIVE To investigate the skin absorption of 0.5%, 1.5%, 3%, 6%, and 9% concentrations of allantoin, the active ingredient in the SD-101 formulation, in skin models that mimic intact, broken, or blistered human skin CONCLUSIONS • METHODS Models • The skin absorption of 0.5%, 1.5%, 3%, 6%, and 9% concentrations of allantoin, the active ingredient in the SD-101 formulation, was investigated in 5 in vitro models: Barrier-free to simulate delivery directly to the capillary bed Unabraded porcine skin Abraded porcine skin to simulate compromised skin Intact (full thickness) human skin Dermis-only human to mimic loss of skin barrier function due to broken skin REFERENCES Becker LC et al.

Skin Cadaver Preparation • All human and porcine cadaver trunk skin without obvious signs of skin disease was stored at less than -70°C within 24 hours of death. On experiment day, the bagged tissue was thawed in 37°C water and rinsed to remove any adherent blood or material from the surface. Approximately 75% of the dermis was removed by dermatome or scalpel visually 1. 2. 3. Donor skin was cut into smaller sections and fitted on 0.8-cm2 Franz diffusion cells. The diffusion cells were then placed between the epidermal chamber (route of drug application) and the dermal chamber, which was filled with magnetically stirred phosphate-buffered saline, and sampled at selected time points (Figure 1) The permeability to tritiated water was determined prior to experimentation to assure skin integrity10 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Application • Concentrations of SD-101 or vehicle (SD-101 minus active ingredient) were tested on 3 sections from 6 different skin donors (3 cadaver, 3 porcine) that were mounted in chambers designed to maintain skin at a temperature and humidity matching typical in vivo conditions Each test product was applied at a target dose of 100 μL/cm2 using a calibrated positive displacement pipette and then covered with 3 layers of medical-grade gauze Sampling • After SD-101 application, skin absorption (total absorption, rate of absorption, and skin content) was measured by monitoring the rate of appearance of drug in the solution bathing the inner surface of the skin Samples were collected roughly 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 32, and 48 hours after application and analyzed for allantoin using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and mass spectrometry detection Data are represented as mean ± standard error from 3 replicates per formulation as total mass (μg). http://bit.ly/2958kHL Supported by Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.

Baseline Pain Scores Baseline-selected target wound closure evaluation using ARANZ SilhouetteStar™. Complete target wound closure is defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage BSAi of lesional skin: percentage of total body coverage of epidermolysis bullosa–related lesions (blisters, erosions, ulcerations, scabbing, bullae, and eschars, as well as areas that are weeping, sloughing, oozing, crusted, and/or denuded) BSAi of wound burden: percentage of total body coverage of epidermolysis bullosa wounds, defined as open areas on the skin (epidermal covering is disrupted) Itch, using the Itch Man Pruritus Assessment Tool10 Pain, using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale for patients aged 1 month to 3 years and the Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Scale for patients aged 4 years. Each of the 5 categories in the FLACC scale is scored from 0 to 2, with a cumulative score ranging from 0-10. The Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Scale also ranges from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater pain11,12 • Often diagnosed in neonates; occurs in 19 per million live births in the United States as estimated from the National Epidermolysis Bullosa Registry, a cross-sectional and longitudinal epidemiologic study of patients with epidermolysis bullosa across the continental United States2 Subtypes differ by physical manifestations, genetic makeup, and prognosis2 Symptoms (blistering, scarring, disfiguration, pain) can vary in severity and may lead to premature death as well as major morbidities, including life-threatening infections, sepsis, and squamous cell carcinoma1,3-6 Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Scale (age 4 years) Mean ± standard deviation Median (min, max) 102/104 3.2 ± 2.7 4.0 (0.0, 10.0) Both pain scales range from 0-10, with higher scores indicating greater pain.
