not place undue reliance on these statements.
These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those reflected in such statements, including the risk that we may not fully
enroll our planned clinical trials, unexpected concerns may arise from additional data or
analysis, regulatory authorities may require additional information, further studies, or may
fail to approve any product candidate, we may encounter other unexpected hurdles and
the other risks and uncertainties that are described in the Risk Factors section of our
most recent annual or quarterly report and in other reports we have filed with the SEC.

History of Biogen Idecs Entry into Hemophilia

Syntonix founded in 1998 based on Harvard and


Brandeis research
Neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, expressed in human
endothelial cells
In 2003 focused on long-lasting versions of drugs
for the treatment of hemophilia
BIIB acquired Syntonix in 2007
Moved programs forward aggressively utilizing CMC
and manufacturing expertise
Established a core of hemophilia experience

Severity of Hemophilia is Defined by
Functional Factor Levels

Severe Patient Patient with a factor level less than 1% of the normal factor level

Moderate Patient Patients with a factor level from 1% to 5% of the normal factor level

Mild Patient Patients with a factor level of >5% to 30% of the normal factor level

Patient Segmentation by Severity

Severity is largely, but not always, predictive of bleeding frequency

Prophylaxis is the Standard of Care in the Developed World

Home Treatment
IV injections of Factor VIII or IX
Administered by self or family member

On-Demand Therapy
Injection to stop bleeds, as needed
On-demand treatment decreasing

Regular Prophylaxis
Regular injections to maintain a minimum
Factor level to avoid spontaneous bleeds
Hemophilia B: 2-3x/week
~110 infusions per year for FIX
Hemophilia A: 3-4x/week
~150-180 infusions per year for FVIII

- 13 -
Prophylaxis Has Been Demonstrated to
Yield Significant Benefits

Proven reduction in bleeding frequency


Proven preservation of joint structure in young patients
May reduce other morbidities (e.g., ICH)
May reduce risk of inhibitor formation when started early
May improve quality of life and productivity
May reduce healthcare utilization

- 14 -
Prophylaxis with Short-Acting Factors
Has Significant Hurdles

Clotting factors have short half-lives in circulation


Prophylaxis requires intravenous infusion as often
as every other day
Up to 180 i.v. infusions per year
A longer-acting factor product may
Allow reduced infusion frequency
Goal of decreasing number substantially (by
50-100 per year)
Improve adherence to prophylaxis
Avoid need for central catheter implantation
Reduce total factor consumption
Result in fewer bleeding episodes via increased
compliance with regimen

Fc Fusion Proteins Mechanism of Action

Roopenian, Akilesh, Nat Rev


Immunol 2007

Fc portion of IgG interacts with an Fc receptor (FcRn) in endothelial cells


for recycling in the circulation
Fc fusion proteins piggyback on this recycling system, resulting in
extended circulatory half-life

Therapeutic Utility of Fc Fusion Proteins

Model of Orencia
Numerous recombinant Fc fusion proteins
approved for clinical use
Traditional Fc fusion proteins are dimeric
Enbrel (Etanercept, TNFR, 1998)
Dimeric Amevive (Alefacept, LFA-3, 2003)
Effector Orencia (Abatacept, CTLA-4, 2005)
Molecules Arcalyst (Rilonacept, IL-1R, 2008)
Nplate (Romiplostim, TPO peptide, 2008)
Well established safety profile for chronic
therapy
Several more in clinical trials

developing Fc fusion proteins for clinical
use
