RepliGen is a biopharmaceutical company with late-stage clinical programs and commercial assets. Their lead program, RG1068, is in Phase 3 trials for pancreatic imaging and could file for approval in 2011. RG2417, for bipolar depression, showed efficacy in a Phase 2a trial and expects Phase 2b results in Q1 2011. RepliGen is also developing treatments for orphan diseases and generates revenue from bioprocessing operations. Their goal is to advance their pipeline while maintaining a strong cash position to fund development.

5. RG1068 Phase 3 Highlights
• ERCP is an invasive, risky endoscopic procedure for diagnosis
of pancreatic duct abnormalities; associated with high morbidity
and measurable mortality
• Patients in the Phase 3 study were evaluated for detection of 10
pre-specified structural pancreatic abnormalities. MRI images
pre- and post-RG1068 were analyzed by three independent
radiologists; ERCP used as “truth standard”
– Radiologists evaluation of data was flawed due to significant deviations
from the protocol
– FDA and EMA agreed to a “re-read” of images using three new
radiologists
– Study showed that RG1068 aids in avoiding unnecessary ERCP; for
every patient on day of hospitalization from ERCP was saved
• Expect to complete Phase 3 re-read in Q1 2011
• If successful, file New Drug Application (NDA) in Q2/Q3 2011

• Market opportunity in U.S./E.U. for MRI enhancement is greater than
$100M, assuming a price of $350/vial
• Evaluating other clinical applications and market opportunity outside
of U.S./E.U.
– Surgery: improve confidence in diagnosis and pre-surgical planning
– New potential indication: pancreatic cancer detection/staging
– Japan is a third promising market; high utilization of MRI and potential for
favorable pricing
8. RG2417 for Bipolar Depression
• Bipolar disorder symptoms include episodes of severe
depression and mania; depressive episodes account for
majority of impairment
• Current therapies for bipolar depression are ineffective in
most patients and have significant side effects
• Bipolar disorder is linked to abnormal activity in the
mitochondria, the power plant of a cell
• RG2417, an oral formulation of uridine, may affect
mitochondrial activity and improve symptoms of depression
in bipolar disorder with minimal to no side effects
9. RG2417 Phase 2a Highlights
• Conducted a Phase 2a study resulting in statistically
significant improvement in depression on MADRS scale
– RG2417 well tolerated by patients; the adverse event profile for
RG2417 was equivalent to placebo
• Completed enrollment of Phase 2b study to confirm
Phase 2a results
• Expecting results from the Phase 2b study in the first
quarter of 2011
• Objective: license to a pharmaceutical partner in 2011

11. Market Opportunity
• Patients primarily seek treatment for the depressive symptoms
– Physicians report that 77% of the time patients seek treatement for
depressive symptoms as opposed to mania symptoms
• Psychiatrists have a high level of dissatisfaction with current
bipolar depression therapies because they are ineffective in
most patients and may have significant side effects
• Total costs of bipolar disorder ~$45 billion per year (NIH est.)
– Accounts for more than 16 million visits to a physician each year and
approximately 150,000 hospitalizations
• Worldwide prevalence >5 million
• Approximately $2B market opportunity (10% market
penetration)
12. RG2833 for Friedreich’s Ataxia
• Friedreich’s ataxia is an orphan
disease characterized by progressive
loss of muscle function which leads to
Frataxin Protein Level
incapacitation and loss of life
• Caused by a defective gene, which
results in low levels of Frataxin protein
• RG2833, an HDAC* inhibitor, is the
first compound to target activation of
the defective gene to increase
Patients Healthy frataxin production
Carriers
• >$500M market opportunity
A 2.5 fold increase in
Frataxin levels may be
sufficient to arrest *Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC inhibitors) are a
class of compounds that interfere with the function of
disease progress histone deacetylase, which is related to gene expression
13. RG2833 Next Steps
• Initiate Phase 1 study following FDA approval
• Evaluate HDAC inhibitors in animal models of
Huntington’s disease and cognition
• Prosecute worldwide patent protection; composition
of matter patents; priority date May 2008
14. RG3039 for Spinal Muscular
Atrophy
• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an orphan disease characterized by
progressive loss of muscle function and early death in most patients
• Caused by a defective gene SMN2, which results in low levels SMN protein
• RG3039, is the first compound to target activation of the defective gene;
increasing the production of SMN and potentially arresting the progress of
the disease
• >$500M market opportunity
Disease Classification SMN2 Gene Copy Life Expectancy
SMA I 73% of patients have 2 copies ~2 Years
SMA II 82% of patients have 3 copies ~20 Years
50% of patients have 3 copies
SMA III 50 Years
and 45% have 4 copies
A 1.5 to 2 fold increase in SMN levels has the potential to profoundly
affect the course of the disease
15. RG3039 Next Steps
• Qualify RG3039 as a clinical candidate
– Complete GLP toxicology study to determine
appropriateness for human clinical trials
• Initiate Phase 1 study
• Seek funding from non-profits or NIH
• Prosecute composition of matter patent
