Angelman Syndrome Need for effective treatment options could not be greater No approved therapies since condition first described in 1965.1 Treatment options are symptomatic and include anti-seizure therapies. Affects 1:12,000 to 20,000 people2,3 Affects males and females in equal numbers3 Characterized by profound developmental delay, ataxia and gait disturbance, sleep disorder, seizures, heightened anxiety & aggression, and severe speech impairments. Disease results from loss of functional UBE3A protein due to defect of UBE3A gene on maternal chromosome 15 Decreased extrasynaptic GABA levels lead to decreased tonic inhibition and resulting downstream clinical phenotype 1.

Background on Angelman Syndrome and OV101 Multi-symptomatic genetic condition caused by impaired tonic inhibition Loss of function in UBE3A gene on maternal chromosome 15 disrupts GABA signaling and results in impaired tonic inhibition Decreased tonic inhibition causes the brain to become inundated with excitatory signals resulting in a wide range of symptoms Presynaptic Neuron GABA production GABA transporter GABA Synaptic Extrasynaptic HEALTHY ANGELMAN δ δ Post-synaptic Neuron Restores impaired tonic inhibition Highly selective extrasynaptic GABAA receptor (GABAAR) agonist, which binds to the δ-subunit of GABAAR as an orthosteric agonist Differentiated from other GABAA modulators Restores deficits in tonic inhibition in a preclinical mouse model of Angelman syndrome Has the potential to normalize tonic inhibition in humans Angelman Syndrome OV101

Measuring Efficacy of Therapeutics in Angelman Syndrome Angelman syndrome effects all cells in the brain Patient presentations are highly heterogeneous Individual patients with AS have varying degrees of impairment with sleep, communication, behavior, motor, or seizures Ovid in consultation with regulatory bodies selected CGI-I as the most appropriate way to assess Angelman syndrome patients

SLIDE 11

STARS Demonstrated Meaningful Improvement in Overall AS Symptomology Changes in global function as measured by CGI-I provided support for primary endpoint selection for the NEPTUNE trial Global Function: Statistically significant improvement on CGI-I scale Sleep: Reduction in latency to sleep onset and improvement in clinical impressions of overall sleep Motor: Changes (post hoc) in gait, activities of daily living Global Function Sleep Motor

SLIDE 12

CGI-I Captures the Improvement in the Totality of a Patient’s Symptoms Validated measure used in neurology and psychiatry trials Co-primary or key secondary endpoint in several FDA-approved and ongoing clinical trial programs including: Nuplazid (Psychosis), Intuniv (ADHD) Clinician assessed Captures the improvement in the totality of a patient’s symptoms CGI-I (Clinical Global Impression-Improvement) Changes of even 0.5 points can be considered clinically meaningful Patients Rated on a Likert 7-Point Scale 1 = very much improved 2 = much improved 3 = minimally improved 4 = no change 5 = minimally worse 6 = much worse 7 = very much worse Changes of 0.5 point in the scale represent a clinically meaningful change for this patient population

SLIDE 13

*Least-square mean difference [Drug-Placebo] (95% CI) was -0.78 (-1.22, -0.35) with OV101 QD and -0.21 (-0.64, 0.22) with OV101 BID. BID=twice a day; CGI-I=Clinical Global Impressions–Improvement; QD=every day. Bird LM et al. Poster presented at: AACAP 2018.
