Key operational highlights since June 30, 2017

• July 10, 2017: as part of the ‘CNS AAV Gene Therapy’ discussion at the 2017 MPS Symposium, Orphan Disease Center’s, Philadelphia, United States, Ms. Aiach made a presentation detailing the research that Lysogene is conducting related to Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA² (MPS IIIA), one of four types of Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare and lethal genetic disease that affects the central nervous system. Lysogene is developing a gene therapy treatment for MPS IIIA using a rAAV vector serotype rh.10 that is delivered directly into the CNS. Ms. Aiach’s presentation focused on clinical and pre-clinical data, as well as clinical trial design and trial endpoints.
• August 23, 2017: Lysogene presented its Gene therapy potency assay development at The Bioprocessing Summit 2017 (Boston) that evaluates the enzymatic activity induced by its AAV-vector.
• September 12, 2017: Lysogene launched a world class Clinical Advisory Board composed of the most eminent international gene therapy, neurosurgery and Lysosomal Storage Disease experts. The CAB will provide strategic advice to Lysogene as it continues to advance its clinical development programs and devise commercialization paths for its orphan gene therapy candidates to treat rare CNS diseases, beginning with MPS IIIA and GM1 Gangliosidosis² (GM1) patients. The launch of the CAB further positions Lysogene to successfully reach its goal of bringing transformational medicines to patients with severe neurological rare diseases. The first meeting is scheduled to take place during the last quarter of 2017.
• September 21, 2017: Lysogene held the first meeting of its Parent Advisory Board for parents and caregivers of children with MPS IIIA. The Parent Advisory Board, dedicated solely to patient-related needs, views, and concerns, was organized by Lysogene in collaboration with the National MPS Society, the Cure Sanfilippo Foundation and the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation (CISCRP). The objectives were to better understand patient and caregiver experiences with MPS IIIA, assess general perceptions of clinical trials for MPS IIIA, and gather input to the proposed clinical trial design for the treatment of MPS IIIA. The value of the meeting more than met Lysogene’s expectations. The Company will incorporate this valuable feedback in the design of its pivotal clinical trial in MPS IIIA.
• In September, Lysogene also confirmed that its phase II/III study in MPS IIIA will be multi-centric and international. Lysogene is still liaising with the European (EMA) and US (FDA) regulatory authorities, and particularly with the EMA in regard to the Pediatric Investigation Plan (IPP). In parallel, production of the LYS-SAF302 GMP batches for this pivotal study has started.

Upcoming events

• November 14-15, 2017: Jefferies 2017 London Healthcare conference (London, UK)
• November 23-24, 2017: Salon Actionaria 2017 investors fair (Paris, France)
• January 11, 2018: publication of fourth-quarter 2017 cash
