Advancing precision therapeutics aimed at solving long-standing challenges in neuromedicine Drugs interact with receptors that are ubiquitous in the brain and body Drugs not designed with precision for disease-specific neuroanatomic sites / receptors Drug interactions and adverse events lead to noncompliance and discontinuation Drug discovery with conventional approaches (lacking RAPs) can miss high potential, previously unexplored targets RAPs are components of the broader neuronal receptor complexes and play critical roles in regulating receptor assembly and function RAPs serve as unique binding sites targetable by novel pharmacophores designed for increased selectivity, providing neuroanatomical specificity RAPs can enable differentiated pharmacology and potentially provide favorable efficacy, safety, and administration profiles RAPs can “unlock” drug targets previously inaccessible to study in vitro, allowing for potentially first-in-class drug discovery programs Conventional CNS drug discovery The potential of RAPs

RNS system provides objective measure of epileptiform activity and early signal of clinical response to ASMs Epilepsy & Behavior. 2018; 83: 192-200; Epilepsia. 2020; 61:138-148. “It could be argued that long episodes are an even better therapeutic target than reported clinical seizures.” “Changes in long episode rates had the strongest correlation with changes in clinical seizure rates. These data suggest that these measures may provide an objective assessment of cortical excitability and response to AEDs.”

RAP-219 Phase 1 development update

Consolidated Phase 1 safety summary

As disclosed in January, a total of four Phase 1 trials have been conducted—a single ascending dose trial, two multiple ascending dose trials, and a multiple ascending dose human positron emission tomography (PET) trial. Across these trials, 100 healthy volunteers have been exposed to RAP-219.

 


 

The Company’s update includes data from the three completed Phase 1 multiple dose trials, including the PET trial from which final data were not available at the time of the Company’s January disclosure. Final aggregate data (n=64) across the multiple dose trails continue to reinforce RAP-219’s differentiated tolerability:

o
All TEAEs were Grade 1 or 2
o
No serious adverse events (SAEs), nor clinically significant laboratory, vital signs, or electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities
o
TEAEs occurred early in dosing and resolved without further action
o
Most common TEAEs: headache (n=12), dry mouth (n=5), brain fog (n=5), and fatigue (n=5)
o
Three discontinuations

About RAP-219

RAP-219 is a clinical-stage AMPA receptor (AMPAR) negative allosteric modulator (NAM) designed to achieve neuroanatomical specificity through its selective targeting of a receptor associated protein (RAP) known as TARPγ8, which is associated with neuronal AMPARs. Whereas AMPARs are distributed widely in the central nervous system, TARPγ8 is expressed only in discrete regions, including the hippocampus and neocortex, where focal seizures often originate. By contrast, TARPγ8 has minimal expression in the hindbrain, where drug effects are often associated with intolerable adverse events. With this precision approach, the Company believes RAP-219 has the potential to provide a differentiated profile as compared to traditional neuroscience medications. Due to the role of AMPA biology in various neurological disorders and the selective targeting of TARPγ8, the Company believes RAP-219 has pipeline-in-a-product potential and is evaluating the compound as a transformational treatment for patients with focal epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and peripheral neuropathic pain.
