PHILADELPHIA – November 10, 2022 – Passage Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PASG), a clinical-stage genetic medicines company focused on developing transformative therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today provided business updates and reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

“Passage Bio has tremendous potential to transform the lives of patients with devastating CNS orders for which there is significant unmet clinical need,” said William Chou, M.D., chief executive officer of Passage Bio. “To achieve this mission, we must be thoughtful in our allocation of resources to ensure we can deliver meaningful clinical data across our programs and maintain a best-in-class pipeline.”

“Moving forward, we are streamlining our operations and refocusing our efforts to advance our ongoing Imagine-1 and upliFT-D clinical trials, providing opportunity to demonstrate proof of concept across both pediatric and adult CNS indications, and continue to advance our preclinical programs through our partnership with Penn’s Gene Therapy Program,” Dr. Chou added. “As we realign our organization around this more focused strategy, we would like to thank the talented team at Passage, particularly those who are impacted by today’s announcement, for their commitment to the pursuit of our ambitious mission.”

Recent Business Updates

Dosed first patient in final cohort, Cohort 4 (early infantile, high dose), in dose-ascending phase of Imagine-1 clinical trial: Dosing of the final patient in Cohort 4 is expected by year-end. The company plans to host a webcast to report interim safety and biomarker data from Cohorts 2 (late infantile, high dose) and 3 (early infantile, low dose) in December 2022. Moving into 2023, the company plans to engage with regulatory agencies to align on the regulatory pathway for the program.

Dosed first patient in upliFT-D clinical trial: Continue to experience positive momentum across recruitment initiatives to support patient enrollment.

Appointed William Chou, M.D. as Chief Executive Officer: In October 2022, the company announced the appointment of William Chou, M.D. as chief executive officer and a member of the board. Dr. Chou is an accomplished executive with nearly twenty years of healthcare experience across a range of development and commercialization roles in rare diseases and gene therapy.

Company to streamline operations and refocus strategy to prioritize research & development and extend cash runway into the first half of 2025: The company will decrease operating expenses by reducing the workforce by approximately 23 percent and prioritizing research and development investments. Moving forward, the company will focus on advancing its Imagine-1 and upliFT-D clinical programs for GM1 gangliosidosis and frontotemporal dementia, respectively. The company will stop further clinical development of PBKR03 for Krabbe disease and explore strategic alternatives to advance this program, as well as its program for metachromatic leukodystrophy, PBML04. The company will also prioritize advancing its programs for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington’s disease through its ongoing collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania’s Gene Therapy Program.

Anticipated Upcoming Milestones

Present initial safety and biomarker data for Cohorts 2 (late infantile, high dose) and 3 (early infantile, low dose) for Imagine-1 clinical trial for GM1 in December 2022.

16 FTD-GRN: A Devastating Adult DiseaseDEVASTATING FORM OF DEMENTIA caused by a GRNgene mutation resulting in progranulin (PGRN) deficiency. Approximately 5–10% of FTD is caused by a GRNmutation.Disease progression is rapid and degenerative including loss of speech, loss of expression, severe behavioral changes and immobility. RARE AND UNDERSERVEDpopulations with estimated U.S. prevalence of ~3,000 to 6,000 patients.No disease-modifying therapies are presently approved.
