7 Neuro-Spinal Scaffold for Acute SCI Designed to Promote Healing in Spinal Cord Injury 7

8 Evolution of Acute Management of Spinal Cord Injury Non-surgical management: Traction and bedrest (prevent additional trauma) Surgical management: Bony decompression and spinal column alignment/stabilization Minimize secondary injury and provide support to the spine Standard of care has transitioned to early decompressive surgery (<24-48 hours postinjury) in attempts to remove ongoing spinal cord compression Despite significant advances in surgical repair to the spinal column, modern day acute management of SCI does not address repair of the spinal cord 8

16 Encouraging Data in Two Major Types of Spinal Cord Injury Closed (Contusion) Injury Open (Compound) Injury Cavity Laceration/ Maceration Cavity Outer region of cord is preserved and cord appears intact externally Injury leads to cavity filled with necrotic material Pressure builds inside the cord, which may lead to further injury Preclinical model: contusion injury Outer region of cord is breached and injury is visible externally Myelotomy (cutting into the cord) may not be required Minimal added pressure inside cord Preclinical model: hemicordectomy Layer RT et al.

18 Neuro-Spinal Scaffold for Acute SCI Clinical & Regulatory Development Plans 18

19 Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE): A Lower Approval Threshold Provides less burdensome regulatory process Lower approval threshold: demonstrate safety and probable benefit (rather than effectiveness) Probable benefit: a classic risk/benefit analysis Device does not expose patients to an unreasonable or significant risk Probable benefit to health from the use of the device outweighs the risk In Dec 2016, 21 st Century Cures Act increased ceiling of qualified patient population from 4,000 to 8,000 patients per year InVivo s initial Humanitarian Use Device population: thoracic and cervical SCI patients with complete paralysis (AIS A)* Cures Act may allow InVivo to take advantage of the HDE pathway for patients with incomplete paralysis (AIS B and AIS C)* Would require applying for expanded HUD and conducting a separate study Cures Act also requires that FDA publish draft guidance that defines the criteria for establishing probable benefit by mid-2018 *Excludes penetrating injuries such as gunshot or knife injuries 19

20 The INSPIRE Study InVivo Study of Probable Benefit of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold for Safety and Neurologic Recovery in Subjects with Complete Thoracic AIS A Spinal Cord Injury Clinical study in support of an HDE application Primary endpoint: improvement in ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) grade by 6 months Additional endpoints: sensory and motor scores, bladder & bowel function, Spinal Cord Independence Measure, pain, quality of life Assessments at 1, 2, 3, 6 (primary), 12 and 24 months Objective Performance Criterion (study success definition) at least 25% of patients improve AIS grade by 6 months 20

21 Clinical Path Forward Enrollment on hold following three patient deaths in INSPIRE Although InVivo and the respective site principal investigators do not believe these deaths were related to the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold, the company is in communication with FDA to ensure that these cases have been comprehensively evaluated and to ensure all appropriate risk mitigations have been implemented As part of ongoing discussions with the FDA, InVivo has proposed a randomized controlled trial to supplement the existing clinical evidence for the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold InVivo does not expect to reopen enrollment in INSPIRE Expect to provide additional clarity on clinical path forward in Q

22 INSPIRE AIS Conversion Rate Versus Objective Performance Criterion Published historical benchmarks for AIS conversion rates were used to establish the OPC Complete (AIS A) Thoracic SCI AIS Conversions 50% 40% 36.8% 43.8% = 7/16 evaluable patients have converted at 6 months 30% 20% 15.6% 15.5% OPC = study success 3 (25%) 10% 0% EMSCI (n=256, 6 months) 1 2 Model Systems (n=194, 12 months) INSPIRE All Patients (n=19, 6 months) INSPIRE Evaluable Patients (n=16, 6 months) INSPIRE primary endpoint and OPC are based on evaluable patients at 6 months. 1 Zariffa et al., Spinal Cord (2011); European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury (EMSCI) 2 Lee et al., J. Spinal Cord Med (2014); Spinal Cord Injury Model System (US) 3 Approval is not guaranteed if the OPC is met and HDE approval may still be obtained if OPC is not met if probable benefit outweighs the risk. 22

25 Contemporary Thoracic SCI Registry Study ( CONTEMPO Registry Study ) InVivo plans to complement Neuro-Spinal Scaffold clinical studies with the CONTEMPO Registry Study A comprehensive evaluation of the recent natural history of acute, complete thoracic SCI patients Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation North American Clinical Trials Network (NACTN) Registry Plan to utilize additional existing registries (e.g., Model Systems, EMSCI) Match patient characteristics to INSPIRE (to the extent possible) Evaluate only patients injured since 2006 CONTEMPO Registry Study designed to provide contemporary benchmarks for INSPIRE Estimated number of patients in CONTEMPO Registry Study:
