17 17 Neuro-Spinal Scaffold for Acute SCI Clinical & Regulatory Development Plans

18 Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE): A Lower Approval Threshold Provides simpler 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 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C)* Would require applying for expanded HUD and conducting a separate study Cures Act also requires that FDA publish draft guidance that defines the criteria for establishing probable benefit by mid-2018 *Excludes penetrating injuries such as gunshot or knife injuries 18

19 19 Demonstrating Safety and Probable Benefit: The INSPIRE Study: The Pivotal Trial for HDE Approval 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 20-patient pivotal 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 Objective Performance Criterion (study success definition) at least 25% of patients improve AIS grade by 6 months INSPIRE enrollment halt currently in effect Three patient deaths in INSPIRE, each deemed unrelated to the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold or implantation procedure by the respective site s Principal Investigators Following discussions with the company s independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), we elected to implement a temporary halt to enrollment The FDA responded formally with its recommendations; we are analyzing the recommendations and formulating a response that will include a protocol amendment

20 20 Establishing the Objective Performance Criterion (OPC): 25% AIS Grade Conversion at 6 months Published historical benchmarks for AIS conversion rates were used to establish the OPC Complete (AIS A) Thoracic SCI AIS Conversions 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% n = % 15.5% 54.5% = 6/11 patients have converted at 6 months 6 conversions at 6 months 1 conversion before 6 months 5 not converted at 6 months 4 not converted, < 6 months follow-up 16 patients in follow-up OPC = study success 3 (25%) 10% 0% EMSCI (6 months) Model Systems (12 months) 1 2 INSPIRE (6 months) 1 Zariffa et al., Spinal Cord (2011); European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury (EMSCI); n = Lee et al., J. Spinal Cord Med (2014); Spinal Cord Injury Model System (US); n = 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.

23 23 Leading Neurosurgeons Are Encouraged in an Area of Significant Unmet Medical Need It is exciting and promising when a patient who is classified as a complete spinal cord injury becomes classified as incomplete. This is a relatively unusual occurrence and gives much more potential for further recovery. Domagoj Coric, M.D. Chief of Neurosurgery Carolinas Medical Center INSPIRE has provided new insights into acute spinal cord injury pathology, allowing for the application of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold as a potential new treatment modality for complete spinal cord injury. InVivo is advancing a new direction in spinal cord injury therapy. It is bold, but may open the door for new approaches in an area that remains without effective treatment. Michael Fehlings, M.D., Ph.D. Director, Spinal Program Toronto Western Hospital James Guest, M.D., Ph.D. Professor, Clinical Neurosurgery University of Miami It has been encouraging to watch the INSPIRE study results unfold. We have amassed a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to sharing key insights with the neurosurgical community. Nicholas Theodore, M.D. Director, Neurologic Spine Center Johns Hopkins

24 24 Demonstrating Safety and Probable Benefit: Contemporary Thoracic SCI Registry Study ( CONTEMPO Registry Study *) FDA has recommended inclusion of a concurrent control group As an alternative, InVivo will complement the INSPIRE Study 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 will provide matched, contemporary benchmarks for INSPIRE Estimated number of patients in CONTEMPO Registry Study: * Final protocol submitted to FDA

25 Motor Improvements in Patients with Low Thoracic Injuries (T11-T12) LEMS First patient (implanted October 2014) improved from T11 complete AIS A to AIS C at 1 month Continued motor improvement from months 6 to 12 Recent patient (implanted Jan 2017) demonstrated motor improvement and improved from T12 complete AIS A to AIS B at 6 months Lower Extremity Motor Score (LEMS)* Hip movement Knee movement Improved knee movement Palpable hip contractions Months Post-Injury Palpable ankle contractions Knee movement Hip movement & palpable knee contractions First Patient (T11) Recent Patient (T12) *Note: assessments of ankle muscles were not made on the Recent Patient (T12) at 0 and 1 months due to immobilization; these muscles scored 0 at 2 months 25

26 26 The Cervical Spinal Cord Injury Study Received Investigational Testing Authorization from Health Canada to conduct Cervical SCI Study in March 2017 The Cervical SCI Study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold in patients with AIS A injuries at C5-T1 Endpoints: AIS conversion, Upper Extremity Motor Score (UEMS), Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) Complete cervical SCI patients are the most severely injured of all SCI patients Compared to the thoracic spinal cord, each level of the cervical spinal cord region has substantial functional impact Any neurological improvement could make a significant difference in the quality of life of a cervical SCI patient
