Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Monogenic Diseases

9

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 in Type 2 Diabetes

Metabolic Disease

13

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

KD025 in Psoriasis: Phase 2a Conclusion, Phase 2 Ongoing

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
