MIV-711
SEK 45 million directed issue enabling MIV-711 clinical development in Osteogenesis Imperfecta, with market opportunity comparable to fostrox in HCC
Slide 6
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) - a rare disease from pediatric to adulthood with significant unmet medical need
Clinical rationale & unmet medical need
Heterogenous rare disorder with 85% having dominant inherited mutations in genes for collagen 1 (COL1A1/COL1A2), causing varying degrees of severity and impact on life length
Characterized by defective bone and cartilage causing fragile bone structure (brittle bone) leading to frequent fractures that can lead to deformities, pain and impacted mobility
There are no approved medical treatments in OI
Bisphosphonates are used of label, particularly in pediatric care to reduce vertebral deformities, pain and to improve adult length
Significant unmet medical need
One-year-old infant diagnosed with severe type III OI. Note the severe bowing of the legs and the lack of bone modeling in both femurs and tibiae.
A nine-month-old infant with moderate type IV OI.
Slide 7
OI are divided into subtypes according to clinical severity 1,2
Type I
50%
Mild with usually normal height or short stature.
Up to 30 fractures during life span
Type III
15%
Severe with short stature and deformities/scoliosis.
Up to 100 fractures during life span
▪
Type IV
15%
Moderate with moderately short stature and variable scoliosis.
Up to 50 fractures during life span
Subtypes suitable for treatment
10%
10%
Type II
Type 2 is lethal with multiple fractures at birth with marked deformities. Dies at birth, or shortly after
Other
There are many other rarer types of OI, present in ~10%

Bone remodelling is a continuous process requiring interplay between osteoclasts & osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Cells responsible for resorbing old bone
Osteoblasts
Cells responsible for synthesizing new bone matrix and initiating mineralization.
Cathepsin K
Enzyme secreted by osteoclasts that degrades type I collagen driving bone resorption
Slide 9
Cathepsin K activity is increased in Osteogenesis Imperfecta and drives increased bone resorption
Type I collagen is the major component in bone, making up ~90% of bone matrix. It is the skeleton of the bone and provides flexible strength and regulates the mineralization process
The OI mutations leads to reduced and/or defect Type I collagen resulting in increased bone resorption by osteoclasts and reduced formation of qualitative bone
Studies in children with OI show high levels of Cathepsin K
Slide 10
Rauch et al 2000, Baron et al 1983, Braga et al 2004; Garnero et al 2009; Rousseau et al 2010)
MIV-711, a selective cathepsin K inhibitor, restores balance between bone resorption and bone formation
MIV-711 is a highly selective inhibitor of Cathepsin
K, preventing degradation of type I collagen
While MIV-711 inhibits the in OI increased bone degrading osteoclast activity, continuous bone remodeling is maintained as the osteoclast-osteoblast coupling is preserved
As a result, MIV-711 helps restore the balance between bone resorption and bone formation in the continues bone remodeling
Slide 11
Rauch et al 2000, Baron et al 1983, Braga et al 2004; Garnero et al 2009; Rousseau et al 2010)
Inhibiting cathepsin K prevents bone resorption and restores bone remodelling and formation of new bone
Cathepsin K inhibition
Prevents bone resorption by selective inhibition of cathepsin K
+ Effectively prevents bone resorption while saving osteoclast functionality
+ Preserves osteoclast - osteoblast coupling → induces formation of new bone
Anti-sclerostin mAb
Bisphosphonates
Prevents bone resorption by killing osteoclasts
+ Effectively prevents bone resorption
Lost coupling between osteoblast and osteoclast
Negative impact on formation of new bone
Not approved in OI
Induces bone formation via
osteoblast…
+ Effectively induces new bone formation
+ Indirect reduction of bone resorption
Benefit diminishes after 6-12 months due to induction of escape pathway activation
Failed phase 3 study in Q4 2025
