3 Learning objectives 1 Participants will understand the developing gene therapy market; which diseases, market size and implications for providers and plan sponsors. 2 Participant will be introduced to innovative approaches to fund treatments for small populations with very expensive, often one-time therapies. 3 Participant will understand the actions they need to take today to be prepared for the future. 3

4 Our costliest conflict 4

5 Which was more deadly? 5

6 A magic bullet 6

7 Drug spend and specialty share are growing Specialty Traditional 37% % % 48% Note: Data is actual for 2016, projected for 2019 Source: Express Scripts research 7

8 40 35 Novel FDA approvals continue to increase Traditional Specialty Source: U.S. Food & Drug Administration 8

9 New scientific approaches will lead to more novel, but costly medications Conjugated Monoclonal Antibody Pipeline Products Using Gene-based Mechanisms 188 DNA & RNA Therapeutics 173 Cell Therapy (CAR-T) 529 Gene Therapy 202 Sources: Analysis Group, PhRMA 9

10 Rare disease therapies are much more costly Growth of rare disease FDA approvals (%) Average cost to treat a patient annually Source: Express Scripts data 54% increase in the cost of treatment over 4 years 10

11 RARE CONDITION PREVALENCE More common than you think 7,000 known rare conditions 1 with more identified all the time 1. Global Genes: Rare Disease Impact Report 2. American Diabetes Association 11

12 Gene augmentation therapy Functioning gene Cell with non-functioning gene Cell functioning normally 12

13 Gene inhibition therapy Blocking gene X X Cell containing faulty gene New gene product blocks faulty gene Cell functioning normally 13

14 Transfection: The process of inserting genes 14

15 Gene therapy poses unique challenges 4,000 diseases linked to gene disorders High cost: $375k-$1.5M per patient Single administration Very small patient populations Durability periods vary American healthcare system is ill equipped for this model 15

16 Fewer patients lead to higher prices $1,600,000 Estimated cost of therapy $1,400,000 $1,200,000 $1,000,000 $800,000 $600,000 $400,000 $200,000 $0 Glybera <10 patients Luxturna 600 patients Strimvelis <20 patients Kymriah 300 patients Yescarta 7,500 patients

17 Critical questions need to be addressed Clinical Utilization/Eligibility Who will manage? Centers of Excellence Where will patients go for treatment? Follow up How will patients be monitored? Risk management Who will collect and manage outcomes? 17

18 First U.S. CAR-T therapies approved for cancers Cost: $475,000 Treats lymphoblastic leukemia Lethal blood and bone-marrow cancer Affects children and young adults Cost: $373,000 Treats large B-cell lymphoma Aggressive non-hodgkin lymphoma Indicated after other treatments fail 18

19 Luxturna TM : Therapy with novel payer programs brings hope for inherited retinal dystrophies Outcomes-based rebates Innovative contracting model Payments over time 19

20 Specialized patient care enables risk sharing and improves health outcomes ONE-ON-ONE PATIENT SUPPORT IN-HOME NURSING SERVICES SAFE, APPROPRIATE MEDICATION USE 20

21 New payment models under consideration Pooled Risk Lump Sum Pooled Risk With Performance Guarantees Periodic Payments The right solution will enable collaboration among manufacturers, payers, patients and policymakers

22 Learning objectives 1 Participants will understand the developing gene therapy market; which diseases, market size and implications for providers and plan sponsors. 2 Participant will be introduced to innovative approaches to fund treatments for small populations with very expensive, often one-time therapies. 3 Participant will understand the actions they need to take today to be prepared for the future.
