3. Company Overview
• Corporate headquarters in Gainesville, FL
• Founded in 1990 as a cyclodextrin-distribution company
• Game changer: Dr. Benny Liu showed in 2006 that one version of cyclodextrins, hydroxypropyl beta
cyclodextrins, can release cholesterol from cells in animal models of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC).
NPC is a rare inherited neurodegenerative disease that affects infants, children and adults. It is caused by
an accumulation of lipids in the liver, brain and spleen.
• This discovery led directly to CTD providing cyclodextrins to NPC families for use in compassionate
programs. Dr. Hastings was first to administer our product to NPC patients, route of administration was
Intravenous.
• This led directly to ground-breaking work of other physicians in the US, Brazil and other countries, then
ultimately to our decision to develop our version of hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin, Trappsol® Cyclo™, as
a treatment for Niemann-Pick Disease Type C.

• Trappsol ® Cyclo ™ is CTD’s proprietary formulation of hydroxypropyl betacyclodextrin.
• HPβCD = 7 glucose molecules in a ring, modified by adding propyl groups, to enhance solubility. The inner
core of HPBCDs can make complexes with cholesterol and other molecules.
• HPβCDs widely used as excipient in products including Sporanox (broad-spectrum anti-fungal), eye drops,
and mouthwash.

6. Niemann-Pick Disease Type C:
Overview
6
An autosomal recessive lysosomal
storage disease
1/80,000 - 1/120,000
Live Birth Incidences
The disease is associated
with accumulation of
cholesterol in late
endosomes and
lysosomes due to loss of
normal function of the
NPC protein (NPC1 in
95% of cases, NPC2 in
5% of cases).
NPC damage can be
found in the brain, liver,
and other body tissues.
Depending on severity of
the disease, cognitive
impairment, movement
disorders, swallowing,
lung, liver and other
normal functions are
affected.
NPC is highly variable,
presenting usually in
young children, who often
do not survive into
adulthood, and also has a
later onset presentation
which leads to longer
term disability. The
disease is difficult to
diagnose and, therefore,
under-diagnosed.

11. Initial Data from U.S. and E.U./Israel trials
• Safety data show positive profile.
• Trappsol® Cyclo™ releases cholesterol from cells of NPC patients, allowing for cells
to normalize.
• Trappsol® Cyclo™ crosses the blood-brain-barrier following IV administration.
• One marker for NPC disease severity, lysosphingomyelin-509, shows a downward
trend with successive administration of IV Trappsol® Cyclo™. Another biomarker of
neurodegeneration, tau, trends downward in the cerebrospinal fluid. This tells us
that as Trappsol ® Cyclo™ clears cholesterol from cells, there are downstream
effects on markers of NPC disease severity.
• Clinical efficacy data are limited but encouraging. Disease specific features,
including fine motor, gait, and cognition improve in some subjects. Most patients for
which data are available either stabilized or improved in disease specific features.
11
12. Milestones – Niemann Pick trials
• Phase I trial – completing enrollment
• Phase I/II trial – completing enrollment
• Unblind dosing data from US and Europe/Israel NPC trials and correlate
biochemical and morphological changes with clinical outcomes. Timing under
discussion with regulators.
• Design of global pivotal trial -- Underway
• Meetings with Regulators to discuss pathway to approval – Upcoming
12
13. NPC and Alzheimer’s Disease share common features:
• Neurofibrillary tangles, tau, amyloid beta plaques in brains of NPC and AD patients
• Hypercholesterolemia is a risk factor for AD
• Lysosomal dysfunction found in both NPC and AD
• Increased cellular cholesterol increases the association of an enzyme, secretase, with
the precursor protein to amyloid beta (APP), leading to increased levels of amyloid beta
Cell and Animal models for AD studies using HPBCDs show:
• HPBCDs added to cells that over-express the precursor protein APP lowers amyloid beta
• HPBCDs given subcutaneously to a mouse that over-expresses APP:
• reduces amyloid beta by reducing cleavage of APP;
• improves memory as shown in a standard water maze test;
• reduces microgliosis;
• up-regulates genes involved in cholesterol transport and amyloid beta clearance
(as well as NPC1)

In a set of patients for which CTD has years of data, IV Trappsol® Cyclo™ either stabilizes NPC disease

NPC Severity Scores following IV Trappsol® Cyclo™ administration over time. Note: all patients added

A sensorineural loss was diagnosed and was likely related to an immune-mediated global inflammatory process.
Of note also was a complex medical and concomitant medication history making causality association difficult.

31. Serious Adverse Events (SAE’s) -- 9 events reported in 2 subjects
SAE: Intermittent seizures requiring hospitalisation. This was discussed and considered as not related to study
treatment but down to non-compliance with their normal anti-epileptic medication. The subject was withdrawn
from the study by family despite positive improvements in their disease
SAE: Hospitalised intermittently for general healthy deterioration, aspiration pneumonia and non-study medication
overdose. This subject was also withdrawn, by the physician, due to missed dosing and the deterioration in their
general condition.
Hearing Related Adverse Events
2 events reported in 1 subject
An initial tinnitus was reported and documented at the patients Week 2 Study Visit. The event was self-limiting,
lasting only48 hours and resolved. At the Week 24 Study Visit, routine audiometry was performed and a reduction
of hearing at higher frequencies was noted. However, with no natural history data in this patient population with
regards to hearing, and the examination being performed at frequencies outside of the protocol defined range,
interpreting this was difficult and continues to be monitored.

40. NPC Clinical Severity Score
• Widely used tool in clinical research community starting in 2010
• Based on 9 major domains, or features of NPC disease: eye movement,
ambulation, speech, swallow, fine motor skills, cognition, hearing, memory, and
seizures.
• And 8 modifying domains: Gelastic cataplexy, narcolepsy, behavior, psychiatric,
hyperreflexia, incontinence, auditory brainstem response, and respiratory.
• Each major domain is scored 0 – 5, modifying domains 0 – 2 with 0 being normal
or no history of the disease manifestation. Most severe patients are scored 61 with
this tool.
40
41. • For patient 1 (yellow): The improvement in total score of 3 points (compared with baseline ) is due to
reductions in severity in the eye movement (1 to 0), fine motor skills (2 to 1) and psychiatric modifier (1
to 0). For patient 2 (green): The improvement in total score (compared with baseline) is due to
reductions in severity in eye movement (1 to 0), cognition (5 to 3), gelastic cataplexy (2 to 1) and
incontinence (1 to 0). However, ambulation worsened (1 to 2) as did speech (3 to 4). Total score
change reflects an improvement of 3 points. N=2

42. Physician Overview – US Study
Following completion of the 14 week/7 dose treatment protocol:
4 of 6 patients report increased alertness, focus, enhanced communication and
speech fluency.
3 of 6 patients note increased strength and motivation leading to increase in
movement or ambulation.
2 patients remain clinically stable.
1 patient was withdrawn from the trial due to hypersensitivity.
Global Impression of Disease scores, standardized tool, to be analyzed.

43. Clinical Efficacy Summary
Europe/Israel and US
• Initial clinical efficacy findings are encouraging.
• From the EU/Israel trial, both patients out of the initial four who completed the 48
week trial improved overall NPC Clinical Severity Score by 3 points, each in
different ways. Disease specific features, including fine motor, cognition,
incontinence and eye movements, improved.
• From the US trial, most patients who have completed the trial so far have
remained stable or improved in specific features of the disease.
