In December 2014, Roche announced the decision to discontinue gantenerumab in prodromal (pre-dementia)
Alzheimer’s disease, based on results of a pre-planned futility analysis and recommendation by the independent
Data Monitoring Committee. Overall, patients treated with gantenerumab did not experience cognitive benefit
compared to patients treated with placebo, but there was evidence of efficacy in patients with faster progress-
ing disease who had higher exposure to the drug.

PharmGPS Prediction: Gantenerumab was rated as a weak molecule even by PharmGPS though
it had reached phase III. The announcement of recent results of gantenerumab not meeting its
primary endpoints validate PharmGPS analysis.

on results from one of the largest pivotal studies of beta interferon conducted, ADVANCE, which involved more
than 1,500 MS patients. PLEGRIDY reduced the risk of 12-week confirmed disability progression, as measured by
the Expanded Disability Status Scale, by 38 percent (p=0.0383) compared to placebo. PLEGRIDY also significant-
ly reduced the number of new gadolinium-enhancing [Gd+] lesions by 86 percent (p<0.0001) and reduced new or
newly enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions by 67 percent (p<0.0001) compared to placebo.

PharmGPS Prediction: Plegridy was rated as one of the front-runners in MS based on PharmGPS
analysis. With FDA approving Plegridy for MS, it has offered a safe and efficacious treatment

In May 2015, Intercept Pharmaceuticals announced that the company has initiated Phase III REGENERATE on the
basis of culmination of analysis of the Phase II FLINT trial that was conducted in patients with NASH. The trial
endpoint in Phase II trial was (Improvement in NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) by =2 points with no worsening of
fibrosis) which was met with high statistical significance. The predetermined significance threshold for ending
the trial was P less than .0031, but early results exceeded expectations with a significance of P = .0024. OCA also
demonstrated beneficial effect on liver damage. After 72 weeks of treatment (n=160; OCA=84; placebo=76), a
significant percentage of OCA-treated patients experienced complete resolution of their fibrosis (15% OCA vs. 4%
placebo, p=0.006)

PharmGPS Prediction: In January 2015, OCA was given breakthrough designation and with the
results announced for OCA in May 2015, it is most likely going to be the first drug to be approved
for NASH. PharmGPS predicted Ocaliva as one the top drugs for NASH based on phase II data and
the above events only validate this analysis. With no available therapies for NASH, Ocaliva brings
hope to patients suffering from this disease.

Phase II study’s main outcome was a combination analysis of the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALS-
FRS-R) and overall survival, but at 48 weeks, no differences were reported between treatment and placebo 
groups in the scores. In other measures of efficacy, researchers noted that the group receiving ozanezumab had
numerically worse outcomes than those in the placebo group on all analysed outcomes. But these differences
were not statistically significant.

PharmGPS Prediction: Ozanezumab was rated as a low potential molecule in PharmGPS based on
early phase II results. Its discontinuation after phase II validates PharmGPS analysis.

In August 2015, Amgen announced that the FDA has approved a new cholesterol-lowering medication, Repatha
™ (evolocumab) Injection. In Phase 3 trials, adding Repatha to background lipid-lowering therapy that included
statins resulted in intensive reductions in LDL-C levels with favorable effects on other lipid parameters. In
patients with clinical ASCVD or HeFH, Repatha reduced LDL-C by approximately 54 to 77 percent compared with
placebo.8 In a pivotal Phase 3 trial, 90 percent of clinical ASCVD patients who received Repatha in addition to
maximum doses of statins achieved a LDL-C level less than 70 mg/dL.5 In patients with HoFH, Repatha reduced
LDL-C by approximately 30 percent compared with placebo.

PharmGPS Prediction: Repatha in its earlier phases was identified as a potential candidate for
dyslipidemia by PharmGPS. Its approval in 2015 validated PharmGPS analysis.

tablets, an oral, once-daily selective factor Xa-inhibitor, to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism (SE)
in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The approved indications in the U.S. for SAVAYSA are
based on data from the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48. In ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48, SAVAYSA was non-inferior to warfarin in
the overall study population for the primary efficacy endpoint of stroke or SE. SAVAYSA had significantly less
major bleeding in patients with NVAF, both in the overall study population  (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.70 to 0.91,
p<0.001) and in patients with CrCL less than or equal to 95 mL/min (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.97). In addition,
in the approved population, there were lower rates of intracranial hemorrhage with SAVAYSA compared to warfa-
rin in patients with NVAF (0.5% vs. 1.0% per year, respectively; HR, 0.44, 95% CI, 0.32 to 0.61).

PharmGPS Prediction: In its Phase III analysis, PharmGPS assessed Savaysa as one of the most
promising drugs for patients with Atrial Fibrillation. The announcement of FDA approval supports
this assessment and this approval brings in new hope for patients with Atrial fibrillation

has completed the rolling submission of the New Drug Application (NDA) for its investigational anaplastic
lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor, brigatinib, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ARIAD is seeking
U.S. marketing approval of brigatinib for patients with metastatic ALK-positive (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC) who are resistant or intolerant to crizotinib. ARIAD’s NDA submission includes clinical data from its
Phase 1/2 and pivotal Phase 2 ALTA trials of brigatinib. With a median follow-up of 8.3 months, the data show
that, for patients treated with the 180 mg regimen with a seven day lead-in at 90 mg(Arm B), 54 percent achieved
an investigator-assessed confirmed objective response, the trial’s primary endpoint. In this arm, the median
progression free survival (PFS) exceeded one year (12.9 months). Additionally, a 67% confirmed intracranial
objective response rate was achieved in patients with measurable brain metastases.

PharmGPS Prediction: Brigatinib has been a front-runner in PharmGPS analysis even when it was in
early phase II (as shown above) and now the submission of rolling NDA validates PharmGPS’ early
analysis and it has the potential to be the next promising drug for NSCLC

In June 2016 Janssen Research & Development, LLC (Janssen) announced findings from the first of three pivotal
Phase 3 studies evaluating guselkumab, a subcutaneously administered anti-interleukin (IL)-23 monoclonal
antibody in late-stage development for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Data
from the VOYAGE 1 trial showed significantly higher proportions of patients receiving guselkumab achieved
cleared/minimal disease compared with patients receiving placebo, as defined by at least a 90 percent
improvement in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI 90, near complete skin clearance) and an Investigator’s
Global Assessment (IGA) score of cleared (0) or minimal disease (1) at week 16, the study co-primary endpoints.
The VOYAGE 1 trial also included an active comparator arm evaluating guselkumab versus Humira®
(adalimumab), and showed the superiority of guselkumab across major study endpoints and through 48 weeks of
treatment.In the VOYAGE 1 study, the co-primary endpoints were met at week 16, with 85.1 percent of patients
receiving guselkumab 100 mg at weeks 0 and 4 and then every eight weeks achieving cleared (IGA 0) or minimal
disease (IGA 1) compared with 6.9 percent of patients receiving placebo (P < 0.001). Nearly three-quarters of
patients receiving guselkumab (73.3 percent) achieved a PASI 90 response, or near complete skin clearance,
compared with 2.9 percent of patients receiving placebo (P < 0.001)

PharmGPS Prediction: Guselkumab was rated as a molecule with a higher potenital than Humira
(as shown above) based on early phase III data and was later filed based on additional phase III
studies. The recent results of its superiority over Humira validate this analysis which was done
more than 1 year before the publication of these results.

In September 2016, Cytokinetics, Inc. announced the advancement of omecamtiv mecarbil to Phase 3 clinical
development with a cardiovascular outcomes clinical trial. The decision to proceed to Phase 3 development
follows the review of results from prior clinical trials, including COSMIC-HF (Chronic Oral Study of Myosin Activa-
tion to Increase Contractility in Heart Failure), a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating omecamtiv mecarbil in patients
with chronic heart failure. COSMIC-HF met its primary pharmacokinetic objective and demonstrated statistically
significant improvements in all pre-specified secondary measures of cardiac function in the treatment group
employing pharmacokinetic-based dose titration.

PharmGPS Prediction: In Phase II, PharmGPS predicted omecamtiv mecarbil as one of the top can-
didates for the treatment of congestive heart failure. Its progression to phase III validates
PharmGPS analysis based on early data.

In August 2016, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation announced that the FDA has accepted the company’s
New Drug Application (NDA) for edaravone (MCI-186) an intravenous treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS). FDA and EMA has also granted Orphan Drug Designation for edaravone. Phase II study met its primary
efficacy endpoint of mean change in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R).

PharmGPS Prediction: PharmGPS identified Radicava as one of the front-runners for ALS and
FDA accepting to review it supports this prediction. Radicava may be effective at slowing the
progression of ALS and providing some disease reversal, particularly when used by those who
have had the disease for less than three years.

In September 2016, Novartis announced positive results of the Phase III EXPAND study showing that oral
once-daily BAF312 (siponimod) significantly reduced the risk of disability progression compared with placebo in
people with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Treatment with BAF312 reduced the risk of three-month
confirmed disability progression by 21% compared with placebo (p=0.013). The risk reduction for six-month
confirmed disability progression was greater, further supporting robustness of the data.

PharmGPS Prediction: According to PharmGPS, siponimod has been one of the most promising
assets in treating SPMS. The recent positive results validate this analysis. Since there are very few
available treatment options to delay disease progression in SPMS, siponimod may be the next
promising therapy for SPMS.

people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have disease progression during or following
platinum-containing chemotherapy, and have progressed on an appropriate FDA-approved targeted therapy if
their tumour has EGFR or ALK gene abnormalities. This approval is based on results from the randomised Phase
III OAK and Phase II POPLAR studies.OAK study, showed that TECENTRIQ helped people in the overall study
population live a median of 13.8 months, 4.2 months longer than those treated with docetaxel chemotherapy
(median overall survival [OS]: 13.8 vs. 9.6 months; HR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.63, 0.87). The study enrolled people
regardless of their PD-L1 status and included both squamous and non-squamous disease types

PharmGPS Prediction: PharmGPS predicted Tecentriq as one of the front runners in PharmGPS.
Tecentriq can be considered as new option to help people with previously treated metastatic lung
cancer, regardless of PD-L1 expression, live longer than chemotherapy. With recent FDA approval,
PharmGPS validation has been validated.

In February 2017 Eli Lilly and Company and Incyte Corporation announced that the European Commission has
granted marketing authorisation for Olumiant ® (baricitinib) 4 mg and 2 mg film-coated tablets in Europe for the
treatment of moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adult patients who have responded
inadequately to, or who are intolerant to, one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Approval
was based on five phase 3 clinical trials of baricitinib in adult patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid
arthritis (RA-BEGIN, RA-BEAM, RA-BUILD, RA-BEACON and RA-BEYOND). A wide range of patients participated in
the clinical trial program, including those who are inadequate responders to methotrexate, inadequate responders
to conventional synthetic disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), or inadequate responders to
biological disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) including TNF inhibitors

PharmGPS Prediction: Baricitinib is the first JAK1/2 inhibitor approved to treat RA in the European
Union -- which may be used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate. In Phase II and
phase III, baricitinb showed promising data in patients with RA and was predicted as a promising
oral therapy for RA by PharmGPS. With the upcoming FDA approval baricitinb could undoubtedly
prove to be the best in class drug for RA

adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. The approval
of DUPIXENT was based on data from the global LIBERTY AD clinical program, which included three randomized
Phase 3 pivotal trials known as SOLO 1, SOLO 2 and CHRONOS (enrolled 2,119 total adult patients). At 16 weeks,
for SOLO 1 and SOLO 2, respectively, 41 and 36 percent of patients who received DUPIXENT 300 mg every two
weeks achieved a greater than or equal to 4 point improvement in the daily intensity of patient-reported itch, com -
pared to 12 and 10 percent with placebo. In the CHRONOS study, study also met additional key secondary
endpoints at 52 weeks, showing that 36 percent of patients who received DUPIXENT 300 mg every two weeks with
TCS achieved clear or almost clear skin (IGA 0 or 1), compared to 13 percent of patients receiving placebo with
TCS

PharmGPS Prediction: Dupixent is the first and only targeted biologic approved for the treatment of adults
with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and has also been granted Breakthrough designation by the
FDA. Dupilumab was rated as one of the promising molecules by PharmGPS based on early phase III

tion of response was not reached in either group (range, 1.4+-13.0+ for the pemetrexed-pembrolizumab-carbopla-
tin combination; 1.4+-15.2+ for the control arm). Responses in both groups were durable, with 88 percent
