Our Mission

To build an enduring biopharmaceutical company focused on medicines that target the growing global threat of drug-resistant

bacterial infections affecting millions of people worldwide

3

Building an enduring antibacterial company

• Multi-product, Gram-negative infectious disease discovery and development company, with 2 clinical-stage assets and a 3rd entering the clinic by 1Q 2018

• Highly-differentiated products targeting drug resistant pathogens with high medical need and significant revenue potential

Resistance trends in Gram-negative bacteria5

Increasing drug resistance results in large unmet need….

• U.S.: 2 MM drug-resistant infections/year1

– >23,000 direct deaths1

• High mortality and morbidity

– CRE (carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae) 75% mortality2,3

– Acinetobacter baumannii mortality 43%4 and 63% multi-drug resistant (MDR)2,3

– 14%5 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are MDR, occasional reports of resistance to last resort antibiotics4

• Resistance trends increase the urgency of the medical need

• Entasis pipeline aims to effectively address medical need caused by each of these Gram-negative pathogens

Which has prompted a global call to action

• Non-dilutive funding for R&D– NIAID, BARDA, DARPA, CARB-X(US)– IMI (Europe)

• New regulatory pathways, accelerated approvals

• QIDP & fast track designations• Improved biological insights• Rapid molecular diagnostics

• Next generation antibiotics – Tailored to target key pathogens – Highly effective– Well tolerated– Priced to reflect value-add

Multi-Drug Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is growing in prevalence and is associated with high mortality

• Between 60,000 and 100,000 infections per year in the US, ~100,000-140,000 per year in EU51

– forecast to grow over the next decade

• A. baumannii causes infections among critically ill patients. Mortality rates as high as 43%2

• Class D b-lactamases in A. baumannii are responsible for failure of many b-lactams3-5

• About 63% of A. baumannii isolates are MDR2

ETX2514: Rapid and broad development strategy

• Currently in Phase 1– Compelling preclinical safety and toleration profile

– SAD, MAD, drug-drug interaction studies with multiple partners completed

– Data will be prepared for presentation at upcoming ID conference

• Phase 2 will be initiated by the end of 2017, pivotal trials in 2018

• Anticipate NDA filing against A. baumannii in 2020– Rapid path to licensure reflects high medical need

• Opportunity to expand label to additional pathogens/indications

ETX0282 in combination with cefpodoxime addresses a significant unmet medical need

• MDR community urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major concern in the medical community

• Category has been subject to an increase in resistance to SOCs (fluoroquinolones, TMP-SMX)*

• Uncomplicated UTI patients (typically treated in the community) require hospitalization for I.V. treatment when infected with MDR strains

• 95% of community UTIs are caused by Enterobacteriaceae, >75% by E. coli

Our vision: To create an oral agent for MDR Enterobacteriaceae (Class A and C)

• Outpatient setting (PCP or ER): Treatment for MDR cystitis, pyelonephritis patients who failed initial oral therapy (prevent hospitalization)

• Hospital setting: Oral step-down from IV - extend utility well beyond UTI (early discharge)

• Combination of ETX0282 with cefpodoxime-proxetil (prodrug of cefpodoxime) has excellent microbiological potency– MIC90 ≤ 0.5 µg/ml against a panel of relevant Enterobacteriaceae clinical

isolates, including ESBL and CRE

• Favorable ADME, robust oral efficacy in neutropenic mouse thigh infection model– PK/PD requirements defined for projected clinical efficacy

• Excellent safety profile in non-GLP toxicology

ETX0282 with cefpodoxime is only oral BL/BLI combination with activity against ESBL and CRE bacteria

Gonorrhea is an area of significant unmet need

• N. gonorrhoeae is an immediate public health threat

– Highly contagious with low rates of resistance sufficient to drive new treatment recommendations

– Resistance to cefixime (oral cephalosporin) >1%1; not recommended since 2012

– Resistance to ceftriaxone (injectable cephalosporin, current standard-of-care) is growing

– Cluster of MDR infections recently reported in Hawaii, but already an everyday reality in Europe and Asia

• In 2013, 333,000 cases of gonorrhea were reported, but CDC estimates that more than 820,000 cases occur annually in the U.S.3

Zoliflodacin (ETX0914): Phase 2 POC

Open-label, multi-center, randomized

• NIAID sponsored

• 3 study arms (N=180 total patients with gonorrhea)– 2:2:1 ETX0914 2000mg or 3000mg once, or ceftriaxone 500mg I.M. once

– ETX0914 dosed as an oral suspension

Zoliflodacin has achieved POC

• Microbiological eradication and clinical cure in urogenital and anal infections comparable to high-dose ceftriaxone (100% at high dose)

• Potentially numerically slightly inferior in pharyngeal infections (4/6 and 7/9 respectively) but small numbers

• Generally well tolerated, no drug-related SAEs

Progression to Phase 3

• Relative bioavailability and TQT required prior to initiation of Phase 3

• Phase 3 initiation planned in 2H-2018
