KD019: Polycystic Kidney Disease Pathophysiology
Most prevalent monogenic disease
– 600,000 PKD patients in U.S.
– Autosomal dominant (AD) presents in adulthood
– Autosomal recessive (AR) form affects newborns
– No approved therapies in U.S. or EU
PKD is driven by EGFR and Src
– Results in cyst formation and renal tissue disruption
KD019 is ideal potential treatment for PKD
– Down-regulates both EGFR and Src
KD019 is uniquely positioned to be a first-in-class drug to treat both ADPKD and ARPKD

KD026: A Targeted Inhibitor of Lipid Transport
A unique, selective inhibitor of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) targeted to cells of
the intestine
Essentially no systemic distribution in humans, minimizing side effects
– Less than 1% absorbed into system
Potential clinical targets include metabolic disease: diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity
14
Kadmon is developing KD026, an enterically targeted MTP inhibitor
First-generation MTP
inhibitors were designed to
target MTP in the gut and liver
(multiple safety issues)
KD026 is an MTP inhibitor
designed to only target
enterocytic MTP
(no systemic toxicity)

Broad Program Developing
Selective Rho-Associated Protein Kinase 2 (ROCK2) Inhibitors
Autoimmune, Fibrotic and Neurological Diseases
18
Most Advanced ROCK2 Inhibitor: KD025
Kadmon’s Target: Rho-associated Protein Kinase 2 (ROCK2)
19
What is ROCK2?
– ROCK2 is a multi-function intracellular
kinase
– ROCK2 is up-regulated in multiple
diseases including autoimmune, fibrotic
and neurologic diseases
Kadmon has generated a large portfolio of
selective ROCK2 inhibitors, including blood-
brain barrier penetrant molecules
Lead compound: KD025
– Phase 1 safety data complete; no dose-
limiting toxicities up to 1,000 mg QD
– Phase 2 study underway in psoriasis
(including dose optimization)
Kadmon has crystalized and solved the structure of the
human ROCK2 kinase domain dimer bound to KD025
and is using this information to generate the next
generation of ROCK inhibitors
Immune system distinguishes foreign invaders
and prevents anti-self responses
Autoimmunity is caused by imbalance of Th17
activity and Tregs, leading to uncontrolled
inflammation
KD025: ROCK2 Inhibition in Autoimmunity
20
Autoimmune Disease
STAT3(Th17)
STAT5 (Treg)INFLAMMATION
RESOLUTION
ROCK2 inhibition reestablishes
immunologic homeostasis:
– Reduces Th17 activity, decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-21, IL-22
– Increases number and function of Tregs
ROCK2 Inhibition (KD025 Treatment)
INFLAMMATION RESOLUTION
Kadmon has defined a crucial role for ROCK2: affects key transcription factors that control
immune system

Phase 2a Study Conclusion
24
KD025 at 200 mg QD for one month demonstrated encouraging pharmacodynamic activity
– All evaluable patients showed specific decrease in Th17 activity
– Correlation between PASI and PK
– Tissue biopsies indicate biological response
Reduction of PASI in 3 of 8 patients (up to 66%) after only one month of treatment
Dose-escalating three-month study in moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris ongoing; data expected Q3 2015
Additional planned autoimmune clinical studies:
– Systemic lupus erythematosus
– Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD)
– Scleroderma
Phase 2 Study, Additional Planned Autoimmune Studies
ROCK2 in Fibrotic Disease
25
Fibrosis and resultant organ failure account for more than one-third of deaths worldwide1
Fibrosis is a consequence of aberrant wound-healing
– Prolonged activation of myofibroblasts can result in permanent scarring, organ malfunctionanddeath
ROCK2 is key common pathway and therapeutic target for pathologic fibrosis
– ROCK2 inhibition reduces collagen deposition (Type 1 collagen) and stellate cell formation, improving organ function
ROCK Signaling Plays Key Role in Fibrosis

KD034: Reformulated Trientine for Wilson’s Disease
29
Kadmon already controls large portion of Wilson’s Disease market
Orphan genetic liver disease
– Causes impairment in liver’s ability to excrete copper
– Excess copper leads to hepatic, neurologic, psychiatric and ophthalmologic abnormalities
– 10,000 with Wilson’s Disease in the United States
Requires lifelong treatment
– Disease progression can be halted and disability reversed
– Therapies chelate excessive copper, which is then excreted in urine
Kadmon co-promotes Syprine® (trientine) for Wilson’s Disease with Valeant Pharmaceuticals
– Current Syprine U.S. market is approximately $100 million
– Provides Kadmon with entry into orphan liver disease market, leveraging our current
commercial infrastructure
KD034: Kadmon Developing Improved Formulations of Trientine
30
Syprine (current formulation):
– Capsule, 3-4x per day, requires refrigeration, generic
Kadmon is developing four next-generation trientine formulations:
– KD034 (proprietary formulation): Effervescent powder that dissolves upon contact with water
(ease of administration for children); room temperature stable
– Tablet: room temperature stable
– Capsule: generic Syprine®
– BID and QD formulation: First-line and maintenance label
Benefits of Kadmon Formulations over Trientine
KD034 Development Status
Reformulation has been completed; conducting stability and bioequivalent studies
505(b)(2) approval anticipated Q1 2017
