Speaker Change: I will provide closing remarks and open the call up for questions.
Sean P. Nolan: In 2023, we made tremendous progress on the development of TSHA-102, our lead gene therapy program and clinical evaluation for the treatment of Rett syndrome, which is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder with significant unmet medical need. This included generating initial clinical data in adult patients and expanding the trial into the adolescent population, obtaining regulatory clearance to initiate the clinical evaluation of TSHA-102 in two additional geographies and dosing the first patient in our pediatric trial. Importantly, we believe these accomplishments enable us to focus our efforts this year on generating critical, long-term clinical data in a broad range of ages and stages of Rett syndrome patients across multiple geographies. We now have two ongoing first-in-human trials evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 -- the REVEAL Phase 1/2 adolescent and adult trial in Canada and the US and the REVEAL Phase 1/2 pediatric trial in the United States, with clearance in the UK. Today, we are excited to report longer-term clinical data from our first two adult patients treated with the low dose of TSHA-102 in our adolescent and adult trials.

Sean P. Nolan: As a reminder, our ongoing review of the Phase 1/2 Adolescent and Adult trial is a first-in-human, randomized dose escalation and dose expansion trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of TSHA-102 in females aged 12 years and older, with Stage 4 Rett syndrome. We are currently enrolling patients in Part A, the dose escalation portion of the trial, which is evaluating two dose levels of TSHA-102 sequentially. Two patients have been dosed to date in cohort one, evaluating the low dose of TSHA-102 of 5.7x1014 and dosing in cohort one is now considered complete. Today, we're pleased to provide an update on the encouraging follow-up data from the first two adult patients treated in the low-dose cohort. Recall, when we initiated the REVEAL trial, there were low expectations of efficacy for the Stage 4 adult population among KOLs in the Rett Syndrome community due to the advanced and relentless progression of disease. The focus was placed primarily on safety.

The focus was placed primarily on safety. Therefore, it was very exciting when we announced the encouraging initial impact that TSHA-102 appeared to have across multiple clinical domains in the first two adult patients treated as early as four weeks, following the treatment that we reported in November 2023. The data presented today for Patient 1 is from her six-month post-treatment assessment with clinical observations from week 35 post-treatment. Importantly, we continue to see a durable response and we are seeing sustained improvement in the absence or reduction of steroid levels.

Sean P. Nolan: We have received many questions since initially announcing Patient 1 data about the possible impact of steroids on the disease itself. We are not surprised but, nonetheless, pleased to highlight today that patient improvements were maintained or further improved in the absence of steroids. As of the six-month assessment, Patient 1 showed sustained improvement across key efficacy measures at decreased steroid levels with new improvement observed in the Rett Syndrome Behaviour Questionnaire, or RSBQ. Additionally, the second adult patient also sustained improvements across key efficacy measures, with new improvement observed in certain measures, including the Revised Motor-Behavior Assessment, or R-MBA, and significantly reduced seizures at 12 weeks post-treatment. The longer-term clinical observations reported by the principal investigator show that both patients had sustained and new improvements across multiple clinical domains, including autonomic function, social communication, motor skills and seizures -- compared to earlier post-treatment assessments.

Sukumar Nagendran: Accordingly.
Sean P. Nolan: These continued improvements were reported at week 35 following completion of the steroid taper for the first patient and at week 19 at decreased steroid levels for the second patient. As a reminder, these two patients have quite different genetic mutations. The first patient's MECP2 mutation manifests in a more severe disease phenotype than the second patient's mutation. For example, patient one was completely non-ambulatory at baseline, whereas patient two could walk with prompting. Despite the different clinical baseline characteristics, both patients showed improvements across multiple clinical domains as early as four weeks following treatment. And importantly, both patients showed sustained and new improvements across those clinical domains at the longer-term assessments. In addition to the positive safety data, we are encouraged by the longer-term safety profile observed.

Sean P. Nolan: The Independent Data Monitoring Committee, or IDMC, recently convened to review these longer-term clinical data from the first two adult patients and the initial six-week data from the first pediatric patient treated with the low dose of TSHA-102. Following review, the IDMC approved our request to proceed to dose escalation in the adolescent and adult trial, which enables us to initiate dosing with a high dose of TSHA-102 earlier than planned. This is a critical step in our development plan, as advancing to the high dose accelerates our ability to further inform our clinical development and regulatory strategy for Part B of the study by at least a quarter. With cohort one now completed in our Adolescent and Adult Trial, we plan to dose the first patient in cohort two, evaluating the high dose of TSHA-102 of 1x 1015 in the 2nd quarter of 2024. Initial data from cohort two of the Adolescent and Adult Trial is expected in the second half of 2024. The IDMC also approved dosing of the second pediatric patient in cohort one in the REVEAL Phase 1/2 Pediatric trial. The patient has been identified and dosing is scheduled to take place this quarter. We plan to complete enrollment in the low and high dose cohorts of the Pediatric Trial this year with initial available data from the low dose cohort, expected in mid-2024, as we disclosed previously in early January.

Sean P. Nolan: Another key focus in 2023 was broadening the clinical evaluation of TSHA-102 across geographies. In our REVEAL Adolescent and Adult Trial, we recently announced the expansion of the ongoing trial in Canada into the US, following our submission of the protocol to the US Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. We're now focused on site initiation activities in the US for the Adolescent and Adult Trial, in addition to our ongoing US site initiation activities in our Pediatric Trial. In our REVEAL Pediatric Trial, we announced earlier this year that the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, authorized the clinical trial application for TSHA-102 in pediatric patients with Rett syndrome, enabling expansion of our ongoing pediatric trial in the US into the UK and we're currently focused on site initiation activities. Additionally, we are pleased to share that TSHA-102 received Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway Designation, or ILAP, from the MHRA, which is a program that's designed to accelerate the review path of novel treatments. We believe this further reinforces the high, unmet medical need for patients with Rett syndrome. As a reminder, TSHA-102 has already received Fast Track designation and Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the FDA and has been granted Orphan Drug designation from the European Commission for the treatment of Rett syndrome. Lastly, we are pleased to share that we have strengthened our clinical and regulatory leadership with the promotion of Dr. Meredith Schultz to Chief Medical Officer and Rumana Haque-Ahmed to Chief Regulatory Officer.

Suku?
Sukumar Nagendran: Thank you, Sean and good afternoon, everyone. I'm pleased to provide an update on our TSHA-102 gene therapy program in clinical evaluation for the treatment of Rett syndrome. Rett syndrome is a rare, neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the X-linked MECP2, gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 or MECP2 protein, which is essential for regulating neuronal and synaptic function in the brain. This disorder is characterized by loss of communication and hand function, slowing and regression of development, more time respiratory impairment, seizures, intellectual disabilities and shortened life expectancy. Rett syndrome progression is divided into four key stages, beginning with early onset stagnation at 6 to 18 months of age, followed by rapid regression, plateau and late motor deterioration. The X-chromosomal inactivation and silencing of MECP2 expression that occurs randomly with Rett syndrome results in a mixture of cells that are either deficient in or express MECP2 normally.

Rett syndrome progression is divided into four key stages, beginning with early onset stagnation at 6 to 18 months of age, followed by rapid regression, plateau and late motor deterioration. The X-chromosomal inactivation and silencing of MECP2 expression that occurs randomly with Rett syndrome, results in a mixture of cells that are either deficient in or express MECP2 normally. This heterogeneity in MECP2 expression is what makes Rett syndrome challenging with traditional small molecule and simple gene therapy approaches. But we believe our construct equipped with the novel miRNA-Responsive Auto-Regulatory Element, or miRARE, can appropriately address this challenge and provide therapeutic benefit. As a reminder, TSHA-102 is a self-complementary, intrathecally-delivered AAV9 gene transfer therapy designed as a one-time treatment. Because of the risk associated with both under and overexpression of MECP2, we have combined high throughput microRNA profiling and genome mining to create miRARE, a novel mRNA target panel designed to mediate MECP2 expression in the central nervous system on a cell-by-cell basis. With miRARE, endogenous microRNA which activated in the presence of MECP2, are thought to base pair with targets in the viral genome encoded miRNA and ultimately decrease protein expression levels through RNA interference.

With miRARE, endogenous microRNA which activated in the presence of MECP2, are thought to base pair with targets in the viral genome encoded miRNA and ultimately decrease protein expression levels through RNA interference. Thus, TSHA-102 is expected to provide the necessary function of the MECP2 protein in cells lacking MECP2 while protecting against toxic overexpression of MECP2 in healthy cells. By increasing MECP2 levels in MECP2-deficient cells and maintaining healthy levels of MECP2 output in normal cells, TSHA-102 has demonstrated the ability to produce and maintain safe transgene expression in the CNS in pre-clinical models. As Sean mentioned, TSHA-102 is currently being investigated in the ongoing REVEAL Phase 1/2 Adolescent and Adult Trial. The trial, which was designed primarily as a safety study, is also measuring pre-specified efficacy measures. All efficacy data being collected in this Phase 1, Phase 2 trial is hypothesis-generating. As we continue to generate long-term data across more patients and cohorts this year, these data across measures will further inform our thinking relative to optimal primary endpoint selection for registrational study purposes.

Sukumar Nagendran: Today, we are pleased to share long-term data from the two adult patients treated with TSHA-102. I will be discussing data from two different time points for each patient. Efficacy assessments were captured at month 6 for Patient 1 and week 12 for Patient 2. Safety data and clinical observations from the principal investigator were captured at week 35 for Patient 1, following completion of a steroid taper and week 19 for Patient 2 at decreased steroid levels compared to earlier post-treatment assessments. All these data have been reviewed by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee.
Sue Gantry: Today, we are pleased to share the long term data from the two adult patients treated with one or two I will be discussing data from two different time points for each patient.

Sue Gantry: All of these data have been reviewed by the independent data monitoring Committee.
Sukumar Nagendran: We will begin with an overview of the baseline status of the two patients prior to treatment with TSHA-102. As a reminder, the two adult patients who have been treated with the low dose of TSHA-102, differ in the severity of their disease. Both patients have been diagnosed with Stage 4 Rett syndrome, the late motor deterioration stage, which is the most advanced stage of the disease. However, the patients possess different genetic backgrounds and mutation types in the MECP2 gene, which manifests in dramatically different phenotypes and clinical severity. Studies have confirmed that MECP2 mutation types can be a reliable predictor of Rett syndrome disease severity, with more severe mutations correlating to greater motor dysfunction, loss of ambulation and higher prevalence of scoliosis. Patient 1, a 20-year-old female, has a large deletion with her MECP2 gene that manifests as a highly severe phenotype.

Sue Gantry: These have confirmed that it meets the ability of mutation types can be reliable can be reliable predictable syndrome disease stability with more severe mutations correlating to greater motor dysfunction loss of ambulation and higher prevailing subsequent doses.
Studies have confirmed that MECP2 mutation types can be a reliable predictor of Rett syndrome disease severity, with more severe mutations correlating to greater motor dysfunction, loss of ambulation and higher prevalence of scoliosis. Patient 1, a 20-year-old female, has a large deletion with her MECP2 gene that manifests as a highly severe phenotype. This patient's severity is evident by her clinical presentation at baseline. Prior to treatment, she was in a constant state of hypertonia, with complete loss of ambulation and was wheelchair-bound. She had lost the ability to sit or stand by eight years of age, as documented in the patient's medical history. She also became non-verbal at this time. Additionally, the patient had limited body movement, requiring constant back support and had lost fine and gross motor function early in childhood. She had very little hand function with, essentially, no function of her non-dominant hand. She experienced frequent apnea and hyperventilation episodes and had a history of seizures. The patient's level of severity is reflected in our baseline scores across efficacy measures, including Clinical Global Impression Severity, or CGIS, which is a 7-point scale anchored to signs and symptoms of Rett syndrome that rates the severity of the patient's illness relative to the clinician's experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. At baseline, the patient's CGIS score was 6, indicating severely ill. In contrast, the second patient, a 21-year-old female, has a missense mutation in her MECP2 gene that manifests in a milder phenotype. The patient presented with a milder form of disease, which is reflected in her clinical presentation at baseline. Prior to treatment, she had only partial loss of ambulation and could walk with prompting but she experienced progressive kyphosis and bradykinesia that developed in her late teens, impacting her gait and balance, as documented in the patient's medical history. Hand stereotypies appeared at 3 years of age following regression and she mostly held her hands firmly together. She also became non-verbal at this time. Her ability to reach and grasp objects was weak. Additionally, the patient experienced frequent hyperventilation episodes and had a history of frequent seizures. A level of severity is reflected in the baseline scores across efficacy measures. Her baseline CGIS score was 4, indicating moderately ill.
Studies have confirmed that MECP2 mutation types can be a reliable predictor of Rett syndrome disease severity, with more severe mutations correlating to greater motor dysfunction, loss of ambulation and higher prevalence of scoliosis. Patient 1, a 20-year-old female, has a large deletion with her MECP2 gene that manifests as a highly severe phenotype. This patient's severity is evident by her clinical presentation at baseline. Prior to treatment, she was in a constant state of hypertonia, with complete loss of ambulation and was wheelchair-bound.
Question, one a 20 year old female has a large deletion with Mississippi, two gene that manifest as a highly severe phenotype. This patient seven it is evidenced by his clinical presentation at this time.

Sue Gantry: Constant state of Hypotonia and complete loss of Ambulation and most wheelchair bound she had lost the ability to sit or stand by a T O somebody age as documented in the patient's medical history. She also became nonverbal at this time.
Sukumar Nagendran: This patient's severity is evident by her clinical presentation at base. Prior to treatment, she was in a constant state of hypertonia with complete loss of angulation and was wheelchair-bound. She had lost the ability to sit or stand by eight years of age, as documented in the patient's medical history. She also became nonverbal at this time. Additionally, the patient had limited body movement, requiring constant back support, and had lost fine and gross motor function early in childhood. She had very little hand function, with essentially no function of her non-dominant hand.
She had lost the ability to sit or stand by 8 years of age, as documented in the patient's medical history. She also became non-verbal at this time. Additionally, the patient had limited body movement, requiring constant back support and had lost fine and gross motor function early in childhood. She had very little hand function with, essentially, no function of her non-dominant hand. She experienced frequent apnea and hyperventilation episodes and had a history of seizures. The patient's level of severity is reflected in her baseline scores across efficacy measures, including Clinical Global Impression Severity, or CGIS, which is a 7-point scale anchored to signs and symptoms of Rett syndrome that rates the severity of the patient's illness relative to the clinician's experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. At baseline, the patient's CGIS score was 6, indicating severely ill. In contrast, the second patient, a 21-year-old female, has a missense mutation in her MECP2 gene that manifests in a milder phenotype. The patient presented with a milder form of disease, which is reflected in her clinical presentation at baseline. Prior to treatment, she had only partial loss of ambulation and could walk with prompting but she experienced progressive kyphosis and bradykinesia that developed in her late teens, impacting her gait and balance, as documented in the patient's medical history. Hand stereotypies appeared at 3 years of age following regression and she mostly held her hands firmly together. She also became non-verbal at this time. Her ability to reach and grasp objects was weak. Additionally, the patient experienced frequent hyperventilation episodes and had a history of frequent seizures. A level of severity is reflected in the baseline scores across efficacy measures. Her baseline CGIS score was 4, indicating moderately ill.

Speaker Change: Restored movements in their legs.
Speaker Change: Weaker refining following the completion of the patients steroid taper. These improvements are sitting unassisted and restored movement and Alex had been maintained as documented by video evidence.
Speaker Change: Further our patient sustained improvement in hand function at week 35, including again, the ability to grasp objects with a non dominant tan and transfer them to a dominant and 10 for the first time since infancy as documented by video evidence at least 35. She also showed a sustained improvement in her ability.
Speaker Change: To grasp with abdominal pain.
Speaker Change: Additionally, the patient demonstrated the ability to open a hand, the associates of fingers scratch her nose and touch screen following treatment.
Sukumar Nagendran: Further, the patient sustained improvement in hand function at week 35, including the gained ability to grasp objects with a non-dominant hand and transfer them to a dominant hand for the first time since infancy, as documented by video evidence. At week 35, she also showed a sustained improvement in her ability to grasp with her dominant hand. Additionally, the patient demonstrated the ability to open her hand, dissociate her fingers, scratch her nose and touch a screen following treatment. Progressive loss of hand function is a hallmark characteristic of Rett syndrome and a key concern for caregivers that impacts a patient's ability to communicate and impedes daily activities but, ultimately, limits independence.

And feed restored to normal temperature and color that's before treatment of hands and feet, we used to call them blue based on the principal investigators clinical observations.
Speaker Change: At week 35 post treatment the principal investigators observed new improvements and socialization and communication since the patients initial six week assessment as.
Sukumar Nagendran: Additionally, poor perfusion of the extremities is a characteristic sign in patients with Rett syndrome that is thought to result from dysautonomia, meaning it's controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Therefore, it's encouraging that the patient also showed a sustained improvement in circulation at week 35 post-treatment, with the patient's hands and feet restored to normal temperature and color; whereas before treatment, the hands and feet were usually cold and blue based on the principal investigator's clinical observations. At week 35 post-treatment, the principal investigator observed new improvements in socialization and communication since the patient's initial 6-week assessment. As of the week 35 assessment, the patient was more alert and socially interactive, with increased communication of her needs using vocalization. Caregivers reported that she showed an enhanced ability to use an eye-driven communication device, which caregivers said she hadn't expressed interest in before treatment.

Speaker Change: Including increased response to spoken word that eye contact she also sustained improvements in autonomic function at week 19.
Speaker Change: With improvements in breathing district news, including Hyperventilation and reduced ethnic spells. The patient also showed sustained improvement in circulation at week 19 post treatment with the patients hands and feet restoring normal temperature and color, whereas before treatment the patients' hands and feet for usually call them blue.
Sukumar Nagendran: The patient also sustained improvements in socialization and communication through week 19, with an increased interest in social communication and activities, including increased response to spoken words and eye contact. She also sustained improvements in autonomic function at week 19, with improvements in breathing dysrhythmias, including hyperventilation and reduced apneic spells. The patient also showed sustained improvements in circulation at week 19 post-treatment, with the patient's hands and feet restoring normal temperature and color; whereas before treatment, the patient's hands and feet were usually cold and blue, based on the principal investigator's observation.
Speaker Change: Based on the basic well invest a good observation.
Speaker Change: Notably the second patient demonstrated a pronounced improvement in seizure frequency at <unk>.
Speaker Change: <unk> 19 post treatment the significant reduction in seizures at low levels of anti seizure medicine relative to baseline. These.
Speaker Change: These observations are supported by data from the seizure diaries, which I will discuss in more detail later.
Speaker Change: Both patients also demonstrated sustained and new improvements across key efficacy measures following treatment with one or two which reinforces this clinical observations from the principal investigator.
Speaker Change: Let's begin with an update on the efficacy data we reported at the six month post treatment assessment from the patient so.
Sukumar Nagendran: Notably, the second patient demonstrated a pronounced improvement in seizure frequency at week 19 post-treatment, a significant reduction in seizures at lower levels of anti-seizure medicine relative to baseline. These observations are supported by data from the seizure diaries, which I will discuss in more detail later. Both patients also demonstrated sustained and new improvements across key efficacy measures following treatment with TSHA-102, which reinforces these clinical observations from the principal investigator. I will begin with an update on the efficacy data reported at the six-month post-treatment assessment from the first patient. The first patient sustained improvements across key efficacy measures at decreased steroid levels and showed improvements at six months post-treatment. Specifically, she showed sustained improvement from the initial four-week assessment in Clinical Global Impression Improvement, or CGI, Clinical Global Impression Severity, or CGI-S, and Torrential Global Impression Improvement, or PGII. The Syndrome Hand Function Scale, or RSHFS, the Revised Motor Behavior Assessment, or RMBA, and CSADAS.

Speaker Change: Device motor behavior assessment.
Speaker Change: R M B and CS.
Speaker Change: C. G. I I is a clinician reported seven point assessment of overall improvement following treatment that could direct syndrome.
Let's begin with an update on the efficacy data reported at the 6-month post-treatment assessment from the first patient. The first patient sustained improvements across key efficacy measures at decreased steroid levels and showed improvements at 6 months post-treatment. Specifically, she has sustained improvement from the initial 4-week assessment in Clinical Global Impression Improvement, or CGI-I; Clinical Global Impression Severity, or CGI-S, Parental Global Impression Improvement, or PGI-I, the Rett Syndrome Hand Function Scale or RSHFS, the Revised Motor-Behavior Assessment or R-MBA and seizure diaries.
Speaker Change: Council key aspects of the disease to determine global in scope.
Speaker Change: 10 schools to indicating much improved loss reported that the six month assessment, which is consistent with the score imported at the full week assessment.
Speaker Change: Additionally, the patient demonstrated a sustained one point improvement from the baseline score six indicating severely ill close call it five indicating markedly.
Speaker Change: And CGI S at month, six which is consistent.
Speaker Change: The skull.
Speaker Change: Weak for Pgi I is a caregiver reported assessment of overall improvement following treatment that uses a seven point scale of sustained score two indicating much improved was reported at month six.
Sukumar Nagendran: CGI-I is a clinician-reported 7-point assessment of overall improvement following treatment, adapted to Rett syndrome that accounts for key aspects of the disease to determine a global change score. A sustained score of 2, indicating much improvement, was reported at the 6-month assessment which is consistent with the score reported at the 4-week assessment. Additionally, the patient demonstrated a sustained 1-point improvement from the baseline score of 6 indicating severely ill to a score of 5 indicating markedly ill in CGI-S at month six, which is consistent with the score at week 4. PGI-I is a caregiver-reported assessment of overall improvement following treatment that uses a 7-point scale. A sustained score of 2, indicating much improved, was reported at month 6. The RSHFS is a clinician-reported assessment of hand function in patients with Rett syndrome, which is evaluated by an experienced, independent physical therapist with expertise in the hand function of Rett patients, who codes the demonstrated hand function in each video at one of four levels, assessing the best score for large objects ranging from no active grasping of any object to independent. The highest score that can be achieved for this assessment is 4.

The highest score that can be achieved for this assessment is a 4.
Speaker Change: The first patient demonstrated a sustained improvement in Rs X F. S. At six months following treatment. Although there are no changes from the baseline score three indicating the ability to hold an object for at least two seconds in her dominant hand, she was able to increase the number of objects held from one or two.
Speaker Change: Additionally, she has gained some basic gossiping ability in our non dominant Anne and sustained this improvement at six months post treatment.
Speaker Change: At baseline she could not hold any objects in a non dominant pan and at six months of school of cool was demonstrated indicating the ability to hold an object, but these two seconds when sister to grass.
Sukumar Nagendran: The first patient demonstrated a sustained improvement in RSHFS at 6 months following treatment. Although, there are no changes from the baseline score of 3, indicating the ability to hold an object for at least two seconds in her dominant hand; she was able to increase the number of objects held from one to two. Additionally, she has gained some basic grasping ability in a non-dominant hand and sustained this improvement at 6 months post-treatment. At baseline, she could not hold any objects in her non-dominant hand and at 6 months, a score of 2 was demonstrated, indicating the ability to hold an object for at least two seconds when assisted to grasp. Again, it is very important to note that hand function improvements are rarely observed in the natural history of Rett syndrome. The R-MBA, which is a 24-question clinician-reported scale measuring disease behaviors of Rett syndrome, saw the total score improvement of 1 point from the baseline score of 43 to a score of 42 at month 6.

Improvements were observed in motor dysfunction and respiratory behavior. Seizure diaries showed that the patient had stable seizure events at lower level of anti-seizure medication, relative to baseline through week 35 post-treatment based on caregiver-reported medical history. Before treatment, the patient had 2 to 4 seizures per year. As of week 35, the patient's seizures were confined to periods where her anti-seizure medication levels declined to below 50 micromoles per liter, whereas before treatment with TSHA-102, she required levels of 100 micromoles per liter or greater to control the seizures. Importantly, the first patient also showed new improvement in a 6-month assessment of the Rett Syndrome Behavior Questionnaire, RSBQ. The RSBQ, which is a 45-item caregiver-administered questionnaire that assesses Rett syndrome characteristics, The patient demonstrated a 30-point total score improvement from the baseline score of 52 to a score of 22 at month 6. The score was driven by improvements in hand behavior, breathing problems, general mood, repetitive face movements, nighttime behaviors, fear and anxiety, body rocking and facial expressions.

And importantly, both patients showed sustained and new improvements across those clinical domains at week 35 post-treatment for Patient 1 and week 19 post-treatment for Patient 2. We believe the safety profile and continued improvements observed, even at reduced steroid levels, in both adult patients with advanced Stage 4 Rett syndrome, support the durability and transformative potential of TSHA-102 across multiple genotypes of Rett syndrome.
Reveal trials have two part trial design.
Speaker Change: This escalation from partner will be assessed by the regulatory agencies and <unk> to provide guidance on key find out early months upon b or the dose expansion portion of the study, including hierarchy of efficacy endpoints study duration and the maximum tolerated dose or maximum administered dose.
Sukumar Nagendran: And importantly, both patients showed sustained and new improvements across those clinical domains at week 35 post-treatment for patient one and week 19 post-treatment for patient two. We believe the safety profile and continued improvements observed even at reduced steroid levels in both adult patients with advanced stage four Rett syndrome support the durability and transformative potential of Taysha 102 across multiple genotypes of Rett syndrome. With the low-dose cohort complete, the adolescent and adult trial will focus on collecting data with the high-dose Taysha 102 to further explore the clinical impact of Taysha 102 in patients with stage 4 Rett syndrome. Based on the IDMC's review of the clinical data from both adults and the initial, clinical data from the first pediatric patient treated with the low dose of Taysha 102.
Speaker Change: Therefore, advancing to cohort two in the adolescent and adult trial will expedite our ability to inform other clinical development and regulatory plan for part B After studies.
Speaker Change: This year, we are focusing on completing dosing and partly of both trials, we anticipate significant data collection in 2024 with many clinical catalysts expected in the year ahead.
With the low dose cohort complete, the Adolescent and Adult Trial will focus on collecting data with the high dose TSHA-102 to further explore the clinical impact of TSHA-102 in patients with Stage 4 Rett syndrome. Based on the IDMC's review of the clinical data from both adults and the initial, clinical data from the first pediatric patient treated with the low dose of TSHA-102, the IDMC approved our request to proceed to an earlier dose escalation in the Adolescent and Adult trial. The IDMC also approved dosing in the second pediatric patient in cohort one, the low dose cohort, in our REVEAL Phase 1/2 Pediatric Trial. Both REVEAL trials have a two-part trial design. Dose escalation from Part A will be assessed by the regulatory agencies and the IDMC to provide guidance on key elements of Part B -- or the dose expansion portion of the study -- including hierarchy of efficacy endpoints, study duration and the maximum tolerated dose or maximum administered dose.

The IDMC also approved dosing in the second pediatric patient in cohort one, the low dose cohort, in our REVEAL Phase 1/2 Pediatric Trial.
Speaker Change: As we discussed in early January we expect to report initial safety and efficacy data from cohort one evaluating the low dose a patient on one or two in the pediatric trial mid 2024. We also expect to report initial data from cohort two evaluating the hydro silk rational one or two in the second half of 2024.
Speaker Change: In both the adolescent and adult and pediatric trial.
Speaker Change: As Sean noted earlier, our efforts to expand our clinical trials remain underway and we are currently focused on additional site activation in the U S or adolescent and adult trial with the goal of expanding our analysis and adult trial in Canada into the U S.
Sukumar Nagendran: The IDMC approved our request to proceed to an earlier dose escalation in the adolescent and adult trial. The IDMC also approved dosing in the second pediatric patient in cohort one, the low dose cohort, in a revealed phase one, two pediatric trial. Both revealed trials have a two-part trial design. Dose escalation from Part A will be assessed by regulatory agencies and the IDMC to provide guidance on key elements of Part B, or the dose expansion portion of the study, including the hierarchy of efficacy endpoints, study duration, and the maximum tolerated dose or maximum administered dose.
Speaker Change: So focus on site activation in the U K for a pediatric trial with the goal of expanding our ongoing pediatric trial in the U S into the U K.
Both REVEAL trials have a two-part trial design. Dose escalation from Part A will be assessed by the regulatory agencies and the IDMC to provide guidance on key elements of Part B -- or the dose expansion portion of the study -- including hierarchy of efficacy endpoints, study duration and the maximum tolerated dose or maximum administered dose. Therefore, advancing to cohort two in the Adolescent and Adult Trial will expedite our ability to inform our clinical development and regulatory plan for Part B of the studies. This year, we are focusing on completing dosing in Part A of both trials. We anticipate significant data collection in 2024, with many clinical catalysts expected in the year ahead. As we discussed in early January, we expect to report initial safety and efficacy data from Cohort 1, evaluating the low dose of Tracia-102 in the pediatric trial, in mid-2024. We also expect to report initial data from Cohort 2, evaluating the high dose of Tracia-102 in the second half of 2024 in both the adolescent and adult trials and the pediatric trials. As Sean noted earlier, our efforts to expand our clinical trials remain underway, and we are currently focused on additional site activation in the U.S. for our adolescent and adult trial with the goal of expanding our adolescent and There is a significant unmet medical need for Rett syndrome caused by a pathogenic, likely pathogenic MHCPT mutation afflicting between 15,000 to 20,000 patients in the U.S., EU, and UK, and a high burden of care associated with it. We are pleased that Taysha 102 recently received ILAB designation from the U.K. MHRA.

Whitney: Canaccord. Please proceed with your question.
Whitney: Hey, guys. Thanks for thanks for all the updates I guess to limit myself to one just can you help set expectations into the pediatric data mid year and in particular, our understanding of stage three and I think <unk> talked about this a little bit before but is that the disease is kind of stable more gabe on potentially some improvements.
Whitney: In terms of the natural history, so how should we be thinking about and kind of what you could show at the initial update versus maybe over the longer term in the pediatric update.
Sean P. Nolan: The company continues to expect that its current cash resources will support planned operating expenses and capital requirements into 2026.

Speaker Change: We'll likely be in a severity range of C. G I S.
Speaker Change: Queen four and six which is which is similar to what's happening in the adolescent and adult trial and I think if you talk to the Kols out there you'd get very consistent feedback that that's that's the most appropriate severity range to study in a first in human trial.
Speaker Change: Pork for a gene therapy with this particular disease. So I think where do you get to answer. Your question you know you're going to see.
Speaker Change: A bit of a spectrum of patients right. You you know someone who's a four is going to be different than someone who's a six we've seen that with our first two adult patients here.

Speaker Change: Depending upon the severity of the disease. It is also possible that it could take longer to see change in someone that's less severe versus more severe. So if you think about on a mid year readout I would say that we dosed our first patient at the.
With that, I will now ask the operator to begin our Q&A session. Operator?
Operator: Next time, we'll be back with a new episode of The Daily Watch. Hey guys, thanks for watching. I guess to limit myself to one, can you help set expectations for the pediatric data mid year? And in particular, our understanding of stage three, and I think you guys have talked about this a little bit before, but the disease is kind of stable, more variable, and potentially some improvements in terms of the natural history. So how should we be thinking about what you could show at the initial update versus maybe over the longer term in the pediatric updates as we go through the year? Thanks, Whitney.

Hey, guys. Thanks for all the updates. I guess to limit myself to one, can you help set expectations into the pediatric data mid-year? And in particular, our understanding of Stage 3 -- and I think you guys have talked about this a little bit before but is that the disease is kind of stable, more variable and potentially, some improvements in terms of the natural history. So, how should we be thinking about what you could show at the initial update versus maybe over the longer term in the pediatric updates as we go through the year? Thanks. Thanks, Whitney.
Whitney Ijem: Hey, guys. Thanks for all the updates. I guess to limit myself to one, can you help set expectations into the pediatric data mid-year? And in particular, our understanding of Stage 3 -- and I think you guys have talked about this a little bit before -- but is that the disease is kind of stable, more variable and potentially, some improvements in terms of the natural history. So, how should we be thinking about what you could show at the initial update versus maybe over the longer term in the pediatric updates as we go through the year? Thanks.
Oh, so you're probably talking.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Two to three months of data for that patient.
Speaker Change: We have early data for the third patient depending upon the timing of that.
Speaker Change: That particular dosing so hopefully that gives you a little bit of a flavor of what to expect.
Speaker Change: Thanks.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Thanks, Whitney. I guess I would say that, number one, keep in mind that the pediatric patients will likely be in a severity range of CGI-S of between 4 and 6 -- which is similar to what's happening in the Adolescent and Adult Trial. And I think if you talk to the KOLs out there, you'd get very consistent feedback that that's the most appropriate severity range to study in a first-in-human trial for a gene therapy with this particular disease. So I think, Whitney, to answer your question, you're going to see a bit of a spectrum of patients -- someone who's a 4 is going to be different than someone who's a 6. We've seen that with our first two adult patients here, that the time to impact -- it's a new population, you would like to think that you should see a relatively similar time to effect and hopefully, initial magnitude of effect is relatively similar. depending upon the severity of the disease. It's also possible that it could take longer to see change in someone that's less severe versus more severe. So, if you think about a mid-year readout, I would say that we dosed our first patient at the end of 2023 so, we'd likely have between four to six months of data at that particular time. We've got into dosing the second patient this quarter so, you're probably talking between two to three months of data for that patient. And, potentially, early data for the third patient, depending upon the timing of that particular dosing. So hopefully, that gives you a little flavor of what to expect. That does, thanks. Thank you. Salven, Hey guys.

Whitney Glad Ijem: I guess I would say that, number one, keep in mind that the pediatric patients will likely be in a severity range of CGIS between four and six, which is similar to what's happening in the adolescent and adult trial. And I think if you talk to the KOLs out there, you'd get very consistent feedback that that's the most appropriate severity range to study in a first-in-human trial for a gene therapy with this particular disease. So I think, Whitney, to answer your question, you know, you're going to see... A bit of a spectrum of patients right you know someone who's a four is going to be different than someone who's a six we've seen that with our first two adult patients here you know that the time to impact you know it's a new population, You would like to think that you should see a relatively similar time to effect and hopefully you know initial magnitude of effect is relatively similar.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of solving Richter with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Salveen Jaswal Richter: Hey, guys good evening.
Salveen Jaswal Richter: Thank you for taking my question and congrats on the data on that.
Let's quickly what is your hypothesis around what is driving the RSP EQM per patient one at week 25, noting that scar was relatively flat from weeks Boy. That's filed and then how should we think about expectations.
Speaker Change: Particular score map truck on the far right. Thank you.
Speaker Change: I can go first and Susan can jump in but I would say with patient number one the changes that you saw on RSP Q were primarily driven by anxiety going down general mood, improving and hand function improvement those those will the doses of three.
We've seen that with our first two adult patients here, that the time to impact -- it's a new population, you would like to think that you should see a relatively similar time to effect and hopefully, initial magnitude of effect is relatively similar, depending upon the severity of the disease. It's also possible that it could take longer to see change in someone that's less severe versus more severe. So, if you think about a mid-year readout, I would say that we dosed our first patient at the end of 2023 so, we'd likely have between four to six months of data at that particular time. We've got into dosing the second patient this quarter so, you're probably talking between two to three months of data for that patient. And, potentially, early data for the third patient, depending upon the timing of that particular dosing. So hopefully, that gives you a little flavor of what to expect.

So, if you think about a mid-year readout, I would say that, you know, we dosed our first patient at the end of 2023, so we'd likely have between, you know, four to six months of data at that particular time. You know, we've got into dosing the second patient this quarter, you know, so you're probably talking, you know, you know, between. [inaudible] Thank you. Salven, Hey guys.
Main drivers in the in the latest decrease in that particular scale.
So, if you think about a mid-year readout, I would say that we dosed our first patient at the end of 2023 so, we'd likely have between four to six months of data at that particular time.

And, potentially, early data for the third patient, depending upon the timing of that particular dosing. So hopefully, that gives you a little flavor of what to expect.
Susan: You know I would just say one potential as offices right now on some of the mood aspects.
Is that you know these patients are on very high levels of steroids for a long period of time and you know we'll have to see how other patients do as well, but but one you know potential is that reducing the steroids you know that.
We've guided to dosing the second patient this quarter so, you're probably talking between two to three months of data for that patient. And, potentially, early data for the third patient, depending upon the timing of that particular dosing. So hopefully, that gives you a little flavor of what to expect.
Susan: The level of irritability, the impact on sleep, just the overall mood could be improving as a result of that.
That does, thanks. Thank you. Salven, Hey guys.
Whitney Ijem: That does, thanks.
Thank you. Salven, Hey guys.
Sean Nolan: Thank you.
Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Salveen Richter with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Elizabeth Webster: Hey, guys. Good evening. This is Elizabeth, on for Salveen. Thank you for taking our question and congrats on the data. Mechanistically, what is your hypothesis around what is driving the RSBQ improvement for Patient 1 at week 25, noting that that score was relatively flat from week 4 to 12? And then, how should we think about expectations for this particular score metric on the forward? Thank you.
Susan: Put another way it's possible that the steroids, you know somewhat masked benefits.
Susan: Until they are either reduced significantly or further redrawn. So we're quite encouraged by what we've seen in that aspect of things and hopefully that gives you a bit of perspective on how we're thinking of it at this juncture.
Speaker Change: Got it thank you.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Our next question comes from the line of Christian Costco with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.
Elizabeth Daniels Webster: I can go first and Suku can jump in. But I would say, with patient number one, the changes that you saw in RSBQ were primarily driven by anxiety going down, general mood improving and hand function improvement. Those are the three main drivers in the latest decrease in that particular scale. I would just say, one potential hypothesis right now on some of the mood aspects is that -- these patients are on very high levels of steroids for a long period of time. And we'll have to see how other patients do as well but one potential is that you're reducing the steroids, the level of irritability, the impact on sleep, just the overall mood could be improving as a result of that. Put another way, it's possible that the steroids somewhat mask benefits until they're either reduced significantly or further withdrawn. So, we're quite encouraged by what we've seen in that aspect of things and hopefully, that gives you a bit of perspective on how we're thinking of it. And we'll [inaudible] at this juncture.

Christian Costco: Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the data update I wanted to ask about the leap anecdote for patient.
Christian Costco: So we understand that sleep issues are very common.
But they can predict pretty.
Sean P. Nolan: You know, I would just say one potential hypothesis right now on some of the mood aspects is that, you know, these patients are on very high levels of steroids for a long period of time. And, you know, we'll have to see how other patients do as well, but one potential benefit is that you're reducing the steroids.

I got it.
Christian Costco: Currently depending on the type of information.
Christian Costco: So can you speak more to the background expected for the patient based on their mutation and essentially what difficulties they were having.
Christian Costco: So was there any.
And we'll have to see how other patients do as well but one potential is that you're reducing the steroids, the level of irritability, the impact on sleep, just the overall mood could be improving as a result of that. Put another way, it's possible that the steroids somewhat mask benefits until they're either reduced significantly or further withdrawn.

Christian Costco: Our lapping or other notable attack and essentially what you believe is happening that you were able to see the drastic changes there. Thank you.
Speaker Change: Yes. So that's an important question because as you pointed out many patients with ret syndrome do have significant sleep abnormalities and sometimes they also correlated with the respiratory abnormalities that can coexist and in this patient of one <unk>.
As observed by the Paradise was that this patient never ever seem to have a reasonable nights sleep and always had a very disruptive night sleep, which included restless leg features night terrors et cetera and.
Elizabeth Webster: Got it, thank you.
Unknown Caller: Thank you. Thank you. Hi everyone.
Thank you. Thank you.
Sean Nolan: Thank you.
Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Kristen Kluska with Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on these data updates. I wanted to ask about the sleep anecdote you shared for Patient 1. So, we understand that sleep issues are very common in Rett syndrome patients but they can present pretty differently depending on the type of mutation. So, can you speak more to the background expected for this patient based on their mutation and, essentially, what difficulties they were having sleeping through the night? Was there any sleep screaming or laughing or other notable effects? And, essentially, what you believe is happening that you were able to see the drastic change there. Thank you. Yes, so that's an important question because, as you pointed out, many patients with Rett syndrome do have significant sleep abnormalities, and sometimes they're also correlated with respiratory abnormalities that can coexist.

So, we understand that sleep issues are very common in Rett syndrome patients but they can present pretty differently depending on the type of mutation.
Speaker Change: Post gene therapy.
Unknown Caller: Thanks for taking my question, and congrats on these data updates. I wanted to ask about the sleep anecdote you shared for patient one. So we understand that sleep issues are very common in Rett syndrome patients, but they can present pretty differently depending on the type of mutation.
Speaker Change: The feedback from the cardio, especially the father was that this patient was now sleeping through the night and that's the first time he was getting a good night's sleep. So obviously the gene therapy itself I think well.
Speaker Change: Speculating, what we think is restarting in Mississippi to function in the sleep centers and probably helping with many features of sleep.
So, can you speak more to the background expected for this patient based on their mutation and, essentially, what difficulties they were having sleeping through the night? Was there any sleep screaming or laughing or other notable effects? And, essentially, what you believe is happening that you were able to see the drastic change there. Thank you.
Sukumar Nagendran: So can you speak more to the background expected for this patient based on their mutation and, you know, essentially what difficulties they were having sleeping through the night? So was there any sleep screaming or laughing or other notable effects? And essentially, what you believe is happening is that you were able to see the drastic change there. Thank you. Yes, so that's an important question because, as you pointed out, many patients with Rett syndrome do have significant sleep abnormalities, and sometimes they're also correlated with respiratory abnormalities that can coexist.
Speaker Change: That resulted in this patient being restored to almost a normal state. Your second question I think was on seizures, so patient Guan.
You start to have about neutral for the year.
Yes. So, that's an important question because, as you pointed out, many patients with Rett syndrome do have significant sleep abnormalities and sometimes they're also correlated with the respiratory abnormalities that can coexist. And in this Patient 1, what was observed by the parents was that this patient never, ever seemed to have a reasonable night's sleep and always had a very disruptive night's sleep -- which included restless leg features, night terrors, et cetera. And post-gene therapy, the feedback from the carer -- especially the father -- was that this patient was now sleeping through the night and that's the first time he had been getting a good night's sleep. So obviously, the gene therapy itself, I think -- we're speculating but we think is restoring MECP2 function in the sleep center and probably helping with many features of sleep that resulted in this patient being restored to almost a normal state. Your second question, I think, was on seizures. So, Patient 1, is thought to have about two to four seizures a year. I'm sorry, did you have another --
Sukumar Nagendran: Yes. So, that's an important question because, as you pointed out, many patients with Rett syndrome do have significant sleep abnormalities and sometimes they're also correlated with the respiratory abnormalities that can coexist. And in this Patient 1, what was observed by the parents was that this patient never, ever seemed to have a reasonable night's sleep and always had a very disruptive night's sleep -- which included restless leg features, night terrors, et cetera.
Speaker Change: I'm sorry, what did you have.
Speaker Change: Okay sorry.
Speaker Change: Just on.
Speaker Change: The difference is about sleep disturbance is relative to the mutations that they experience.
Unknown Caller: And in this patient one, what was observed by the parents was that this patient never ever seemed to have a reasonable night's sleep and always had a very disruptive night's sleep, which included restless leg features, night terrors, et cetera. And post-gene therapy, the feedback from the carrier, especially the father, was that this patient was now sleeping through the night, and that was the first time he had been getting a good So obviously, the gene therapy itself, I think we're speculating, but we think it is restoring MECP to function in the sleep centers and probably helping with many features of sleep that resulted in this patient being restored to almost a normal state. Your second question, I think, was about seizures. So patient one is thought to have about two to four seizures a year. I'm sorry, did you have another?
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Speaker Change: So this patient had a large deletion, which resulted in a severe phenotype.
Speaker Change: To my knowledge I don't take.
Speaker Change: The severity of the genotype is necessarily correlated with the severity of the sleep abnormalities that correlation doesn't seem to be clear so, but this fashion anyway patient one head.
And post-gene therapy, the feedback from the carer -- especially the father -- was that this patient was now sleeping through the night and that's the first time he had been getting a good night's sleep. So obviously, the gene therapy itself, I think -- we're speculating but we think is restoring MECP2 function in the sleep center and probably helping with many features of sleep that resulted in this patient being restored to almost a normal state. Your second question, I think, was on seizures. So, Patient 1, is thought to have about two to four seizures a year. I'm sorry, did you have another --

Severe sleep abnormalities and if your question also is that what is the actual pathophysiology behind it I don't think anybody fully understands that but all I can tell you is the clinical observation is that the gene therapy appears to have.
Speaker Change: Restored normal sleep patterns does that help.
Speaker Change: Yes. Thank you so much.
Speaker Change: Thank you.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of Gil Blum with Needham and company. Please proceed with your question.
Your second question, I think, was on seizures. So, Patient 1, is thought to have about two to four seizures a year. I'm sorry, did you have another --
Afternoon.
Gil Joseph Blum: Let me also add my congratulations to progress.
Gil Joseph Blum: So just one from US can you maybe put into context, the burden experienced by.
Sukumar Nagendran: Yeah, sorry. Sorry, no, the question was just on the differences about sleep disturbances relative to the mutations that they experience -- that they have. Yeah. So this perspiration had a large deletion, which resulted in a severe phenotype, but to my knowledge, I don't think the severity of the genotype is necessarily correlated with the severity of the sleep abnormality.
Kristen Kluska: Yeah, sorry. Sorry, no, the question was just on the differences about sleep disturbances relative to the mutations that they experience -- that they have.
Adult patients from being on steroids on a daily basis.
Gil Joseph Blum: Are there ever taper during the standard of care for adult patients during the natural course of the disease. Thank you.
Sukumar Nagendran: Yeah. So, this first patient had a large deletion, which resulted in a severe phenotype. But to my knowledge, I don't think the severity of the genotype is necessarily correlated with the severity of the sleep abnormality. That correlation doesn't seem to be clear. So -- but this patient and Patient 1 had severe sleep abnormalities. And if your question also is that what is the actual pathophysiology behind it, I don't think anybody fully understands that. But all I can tell you is that clinical observation is that the gene therapy appears to have restored normal sleep patterns. Does that help? Yes, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Gil Blum with Needham and, Next question. Question: Do you think that the US military has a better chance of winning the war than the United States?
Sukumar Nagendran: Yeah. So, this first patient had a large deletion, which resulted in a severe phenotype. But to my knowledge, I don't think the severity of the genotype is necessarily correlated with the severity of the sleep abnormality. That correlation doesn't seem to be clear. So -- but this patient and Patient 1 had severe sleep abnormalities. And if your question also is that what is the actual pathophysiology behind it, I don't think anybody fully understands that. But all I can tell you is that clinical observation is that the gene therapy appears to have restored normal sleep patterns. Does that help?
Gil Joseph Blum: Yeah.
Speaker Change: Yeah. So thats another good question so.
<unk> suppression of immuno modulation in general is not used to treat patients in a disease modifying fast fashion.
Sukumar Nagendran: That correlation doesn't seem to be clear. So, but this patient, anyway, patient one had severe sleep abnormalities. And if your question also is about what the actual pathophysiology behind it is, I don't think anybody fully understands that.
Speaker Change: It has been tried in the past using drugs like sirolimus or prednisolone of hydrocortisone to treat <unk> syndrome, but it hasn't had any positive impact on disease duration severity or outcome.
Sukumar Nagendran: But all I can tell you is that the clinical observation is that the gene therapy appears to have restored normal sleep patterns. Does that help? Yes, thank you so much. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Gil Blum with Needham and, Next question. Question: Do you think that the US military has a better chance of winning the war than the United States?
Speaker Change: What you are seeing in our trial, though is because it's a gene therapy trial Suraj and Sirolimus are being used as immuno modulator reagents to allowed us to get over that initial period, where there might be some theoretical risk of the treatment itself.
Sukumar Nagendran: Yes, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Gil Blum with Needham and, Next question. Question: Do you think that the US military has a better chance of winning the war than the United States?
Kristen Kluska: Yes, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Gil Blum with Needham and Company. Please proceed with your question.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of June Lee with <unk>. Please proceed with your question.
Gil Blum: Good afternoon. Let me also add my congratulations to the progress. So, just one from us. Can you maybe put into context the burden experienced by adult Rett patients from being on steroids on a daily basis and are steroids ever tapered during the standard of care for adult patients during the natural course of the disease? Thank you.
Speaker Change: Hi, Good afternoon. This is Matthew on for June and congrats on the quarter and thanks for taking our questions.
Operator: Answer: No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Good afternoon. I'll also add my own, Progress. So, just one from us: can you maybe put into context the burden experienced by, edited by Mark McIntosh 2020 University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences UGA Extension Office of Communications and Creative Services Office of Communications and Creative Services Office of Communications and Creative Services, Are steroids ever tapered during the standards of care for adult patients during the natural course of the disease? Yeah,
Matthew: We have a couple if I may.
Matthew: First.
Matthew: Could you please elaborate on the safety and efficacy of using a fixed dose for patients.
Sukumar Nagendran: Good afternoon. I'll also add my own, Progress. So, just one from us: can you maybe put into context the burden experienced by, edited by Mark McIntosh 2020 University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences UGA Extension Office of Communications and Creative Services Office of Communications and Creative Services Office of Communications and Creative Services, Are steroids ever tapered during the standards of care for adult patients during the natural course of the disease? Yeah, so that's another good question. So, immunosuppression or immunomodulation in general is not used to treat Rett patients in a disease-modifying fashion. It has been tried in the past using drugs like sirolimus or prednisolone or hydrocortisone to treat Rett syndrome, but it hasn't had any positive impact on disease duration, severity, or outcome.

Yeah,
Matthew: As young as three years old to adults and if you expect to achieve a comparable exposure level in the CNS of these patients.
Speaker Change: The answer to that I can start would be that the.
Speaker Change: The overall CNS fluid volume between a three year old than an adult actually is very there's very little difference which is why.
Sukumar Nagendran: So, that's another good question. Immunosuppression or immunomodulation, in general, is not used to treat Rett patients in a disease-modifying fashion. It has been tried in the past using drugs like SIROLIMUS or PREDNISOLONE or HYDROCORTISONE to treat Rett syndrome but it hasn't had any positive impact on disease duration, severity or outcome. What we are seeing in our trial, though, is because it's a gene therapy trial -- steroids and SIROLIMUS are being used as immunomodulatory agents to allow us to get over that initial period where there might be some theoretical risk of the treatment itself.
Speaker Change: We're comfortable the IDM sees comfortable the regulators have all been comfortable based on the preclinical data using that fixed dose.
Speaker Change: And the same across patient populations essentially.
Speaker Change: Thank you and the other.
Speaker Change: Other question is that how do you envision a registered a registrational trial.
Operator: So, what we are seeing in our trial, though, is because it's a gene therapy trial, steroids and sirolimus are being used as immunomodulatory agents to allow us to get over that initial period where there might be some theoretical risk of the treatment itself. Our next question comes from the line of Joon Lee with Truist. Please proceed with your question.
So, what we are seeing in our trial, though, is because it's a gene therapy trial, steroids and sirolimus are being used as immunomodulatory agents to allow us to get over that initial period where there might be some theoretical risk of the treatment itself.
Speaker Change: Looked like if data supports and if you think M. D. R. I as a measure could be considered given the nature of the disease requiring multiple domain improvement.
Speaker Change: Balances.
Speaker Change: You know I would say a couple of things as it relates to clinical trial design I think the headline is we feel like there is multiple pathways that we can go down in multiple end points that are there for consideration, which is a good place to be at this particular juncture.
Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Joon Lee with Truist. Please proceed with your question.
Mehdi Goudarzi: Hi, good afternoon. This is Mehdi, on for Joon and congrats on the quarter. And thanks for taking our questions. We have a couple, if I may. First, could you please elaborate on the safety and efficacy of using a fixed dose for patients as young as three years old to adults and if you expect to achieve a comparable exposure level in the CNS of these patients?
Mahdi Goudarzi: First, could you please elaborate on the safety and efficacy of using a fixed dose for patients as young as three years old to adults, and if you expect to achieve a comparable exposure level in the CNS of these patients? The answer to that, I can start by saying that the overall CNS fluid volume between a three-year-old and an adult actually is very, there's very little difference, which is why, you know, we're comfortable, the IDMC is comfortable, the regulators have all been comfortable based on the preclinical data using that fixed dose in the same way across patient populations essentially.
First, could you please elaborate on the safety and efficacy of using a fixed dose for patients as young as three years old to adults, and if you expect to achieve a comparable exposure level in the CNS of these patients?
Speaker Change: We've always been very steadfast in our view that we were going to use part a to get to a better informed view and that we would have a discussion with the FDA prior to starting part B of the study if we wanted to refine endpoints and refined our trial design.
Sean Nolan: The answer to that -- I can start -- would be that the overall CNS fluid volume between a three-year old and an adult, actually is very, there's very little difference. Which is why we're comfortable, the IDMC is comfortable, the regulators have all been comfortable based on the pre-clinical data using that fixed dose in the same -- across patient populations, essentially.
That was one of the reasons, we put out press release out a few weeks ago, when we announced that the IV M. C had allowed us to go to the higher dose earlier, because we think that stop.
Speaker Change: Hopefully provide more clarity to us relative to endpoints and potentially trial design as well. So we can't say anything declarative what right now about what exactly we're going to do I would say, where we continued to be very.
Sean P. Nolan: Thank you. And the other question is that, how do you envision a registrational trial would look like if data supports and if you think MDRI as a measure could be considered given the nature of the disease requiring multiple domain improvement analysis? You know, I would say a couple of things.
Mehdi Goudarzi: Thank you. And the other question is that, how do you envision a registrational trial would look like if data supports and if you think MDRI as a measure could be considered given the nature of the disease requiring multiple domain improvement analysis?
Speaker Change: Encouraged of the pathway that we're on to be further informed in the coming quarters that can help us with the F. D E and I think in terms of the endpoints again, we know that there's a pathway there with CGI I and RSP Q and there may be additional.
You know, I would say a couple of things. As it relates to clinical trial design, I think the headline is, we feel like there's multiple pathways that we can go down and multiple endpoints that are there for consideration -- which is a good place to be at this particular juncture. We've always been very steadfast in our view that we were going to use Part A to get to a better informed view and that we would have a discussion with the FDA, prior to starting Part B of the study if we wanted to refine endpoints and refine our trial design. So, that was one of the reasons we put a press release out a few weeks ago when we announced that the IDMC had allowed us to go to the higher dose earlier because we think that step will, hopefully, provide more clarity to us relative to endpoints and ,potentially, trial design as well. So, you know, we can't say anything declarative right now about what exactly we're going to do.

Speaker Change: End points for consideration, but again, we think we'll be better informed on as we continue to step through dosing patients, particularly at the high dose.
Speaker Change: Hopefully that makes thank you.
Speaker Change: Yeah, Jack for picking up restaurants.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of Yaron.
Yaron: With Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question.
That was one of the reasons we put a press release out a few weeks ago when we announced that the IDMC had allowed us to go to the higher dose earlier because we think that step will, hopefully, provide more clarity to us relative to endpoints and ,potentially, trial design as well.

And I think in terms of the endpoints, again, we know that there's a pathway there with CGI-I and RSBQ and there may be additional endpoints for consideration that, again, we think we'll be better informed on as we continue to step through dosing patients, particularly at the high dose. Hopefully, that makes sense.

Yaron: Oh, great. Thank you for taking our questions and.
Yaron: Congrats on the progress.
Yaron: I was wondering hum.
Yaron: First patient seeing a pediatric trial and you're calling through the six week safety monitoring Committee evaluation.
So, you know, we can't say anything declarative right now about what exactly we're going to do. I would say we continue to be very encouraged by the pathway that we're on to be further informed in the coming quarters that can help us with the FDA. And I think in terms of, you know, the endpoints, again, we know that there's a pathway there with CGI and RSVQ, and there may be additional endpoints for consideration that, again, we think will be better informed on as we continue to step through dosing patients, particularly at the high dose. Hopefully, that makes sense.
Yaron: Wondering if there any color from that patient in terms of Ah <unk>.
Sean P. Nolan: I would say we continue to be very encouraged by the pathway that we're on to be further informed in the coming quarters that can help us with the FDA. And I think in terms of, you know, the endpoints, again, we know that there's a pathway there with CGI and RSVQ, and there may be additional endpoints for consideration that, again, we think will be better informed on as we continue to step through dosing patients, particularly at the high dose.

Hopefully, that makes sense.
Yaron: Improvement that could be consistent with what youre seeing in the adult trial or in general potential for such improvement.
Yaron: In the pediatric population.
Speaker Change: Really appreciate the question I, just would I'd go back to and we dosed the first patient in the pediatric patient at the very end of.
Speaker Change: Of December and about a week later, we put out a press release, saying that we wanted to begin to.
Yanan Zhu: Thank you. Yeah, thanks for taking our questions. Our next question comes from a line from Yanan Zhu with Wells Fargo.
Mehdi Goudarzi: Thank you. Yeah, thanks for taking our questions.
Speaker Change: Disclose data on a cohort basis and that we felt that was the most appropriate thing to do versus growing patient by patient and so you know all I can tell you at this point in time is that the idea M. C saw the initial pediatric data as well as the data that we just reported on the two.
Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Yanan Zhu with Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question.
Sean P. Nolan: Oh, great. Thank you for taking our questions. Congratulations on the progress. So, I was wondering, since the first patient in a pediatric trial has gone through the six-week safety monitoring committee evaluation, is there any color from that patient in terms of improvement that could be consistent with what you are seeing in the adult trial? Or, in general, the potential for such improvement in the pediatric population? Thank you. I really appreciate the question.
Yanan Zhu: Oh, great. Thank you for taking our questions. Congrats on the progress. So, I was wondering, since the first patient seen in a pediatric trial has gone through the 6-week safety monitoring committee evaluation, is there any color from that patient in terms of improvement that could be consistent with what you are seeing in the adult trial? Or, in general, potential for such improvement in a pediatric population? Thanks.
Speaker Change: Adults and that was in their calculus as they decided that we could go to the high dose in the adolescent and adult study and we can proceed the dosing the second adolescent patient so beyond that we'd really prefer not to comment and then proceed.
Really appreciate the question. I just would, I'd go back to -- we dosed the first patient, the pediatric patient, at the very end of December and about a week later, we put out a press release saying that we wanted to begin to disclose data on a cohort basis and that we felt that was the most appropriate thing to do versus going patient by patient. And so, you know, all I can tell you at this point in time is that the IDMC saw the initial pediatric data, as well as the data that we just reported on the two adults, and that was in their calculus as they decided that we could go to the high dose in the adolescent and adult study and we could proceed to dosing the second adolescent patient. So, beyond that, we'd really prefer not to comment and proceed with our path forward to disposing that data in a more wholesome manner at mid-year. Understood. Thank you for the answer.

Speaker Change: Forward to disclosing that data in a more wholesome manner at mid year.
Speaker Change: Understood. Thank you for the answer if I may a quick.
And so, all I can tell you at this point in time, is that the IDMC saw the initial pediatric data, as well as the data that we just reported on the two adults.

Speaker Change: A quick follow up question on the patient one and two in the adult.
Speaker Change: That dataset.
Speaker Change: We can see clearly a patient why has continued improvement or new improvement in RFP queue patient to have new improvement E. R. M B a.
Speaker Change: But interestingly the yeah.
Speaker Change: The other endpoint for those patients seems to be pretty flat.
Understood. Thank you for the answer. If I may do a quick follow-up question on the Patient 1 and Patient 2 in the adult dataset. We can see clearly, Patient 1 has continued improvement or new improvement in RSBQ, Patient 2 has new improvement in R-MBA but, interestingly, the other end point for those patients seems to be pretty flat. So, how do you think about that and is there a potential for the other endpoint to also improve in the future? Thank you. If you're referring to CGI-I, you know, I would say that -- is that what you're talking about? Sorry Sorry CGII, I fully appreciate that.
Yanan Zhu: Understood. Thank you for the answer. If I may do a quick follow-up question on the Patient 1 and Patient 2 in the adult dataset. We can see clearly, Patient 1 has continued improvement or new improvement in RSBQ, Patient 2 has new improvement in R-MBA but, interestingly, the other end point for those patients seems to be pretty flat. So, how do you think about that and is there a potential for the other endpoint to also improve in the future? Thank you.
Sean P. Nolan: If I may do a quick follow-up question on patient one and patient two in the adult data set, we can clearly see that patient one has continued improvement or new improvement in RSV-2, patient two has new improvement in RMDA, but interestingly, the other end point for those patients seems to be pretty flat. So how do you think about that, and is there a potential for the other endpoint to also improve in the future? Thank you. And if you're referring to CGII, you know, I would say that, is that what you're talking about? Sorry Sorry CGII, I fully appreciate that.
Speaker Change: So how do you think about that and is there a potential for the other endpoint to also improve in the future. Thank you.
Speaker Change: If you're referring to like CGI.
Speaker Change: Hi.
Speaker Change: You know I would say that.
Speaker Change: Is that what youre talking about Oh, sorry, sorry C. J I fully appreciate that even maintenance of the prior numbers according to our hour okay.
If you're referring to CGI-I, you know, I would say that -- is that what you're talking about? Sorry Sorry CGII, I fully appreciate that.
Sean Nolan: If you're referring to CGI-I, you know, I would say that -- is that what you're talking about?
Sorry. Sorry, CGI-I. I fully appreciate that. Even maintenance of the prior numbers, according to our check with the doctors -- that's a very, very encouraging sign to have those minimally improved ratings maintained in a follow-up and also to have the much improved for the other patient maintained. Those are great achievements. I'm talking about RSBQ and R-MBA, where both patients had one score improve and the other score relatively flat. Yeah, so that's what I'm talking about. I gotcha. So patient number one, first of all, the RMBA is administered by the clinician in the hospital, the RSVQ is provided by the caregivers in the home setting, and they ask different questions. Okay, so it's a little difficult to put apples and oranges together, but I would say this. We actually asked the primary investigator this same question, and what she said was... The patient number one has become very aware of what's going on in her surroundings. If I showed you the video from pre-treatment, she was very, very, almost in a catatonic state in a wheelchair, really not interacting. Now she's much more aware. She's trying to communicate and vocalize.
Yanan Zhu: Sorry. Sorry, CGI-I. I fully appreciate that. Even maintenance of the prior numbers, according to our check with the doctors -- that's a very, very encouraging sign to have those minimally improved ratings maintained in a follow-up and also to have the much improved for the other patient maintained. Those are great achievements. I'm talking about RSBQ and R-MBA, where both patients had one score improve and the other score relatively flat. Yeah, so that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker Change: With a doctor that that's a very very encouraging sign to to have no minimum money improved ratings are maintained in a.
Sean P. Nolan: Even maintenance of the prior numbers, according to our check with the doctors, that's a very, very encouraging sign to have those minimally improved ratings maintained in a follow-up, and also to have the much improved ratings for the other patient maintained. Those are great achievements. I'm talking about RSVQ and RMBA, where both patients had one score improve, and the other score was relatively flat. Yeah, so that's what I'm talking about. I gotcha. So patient number one, first of all, the RMBA is administered by the clinician in the hospital, the RSVQ is provided by the caregivers in the home setting, and they ask different questions.

If I showed you the video from pre-treatment, she was very, very, almost in a catatonic state in a wheelchair, really not interacting. Now she's much more aware. She's trying to communicate and vocalize.
Speaker Change: Following.
Speaker Change: Follow up and also to have that much.
Speaker Change: Much improved for the paint the other patient maintained those are great achievements and talking about RSP Q and R. M B, a where both patient had one score.
Speaker Change: Improve and the other score a relatively a flat yeah.
Speaker Change: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker Change: I gotcha. So in patient number one so first of all the RMB is administered by the clinician and the hospital. The RSP Q is provided by the caregivers in the home setting and they ask different questions. Okay. So so it's a little difficult to put at.
I gotcha. So, in patient number one -- first of all, the R-MBA is administered by the clinician in the hospital; the RSBQ is provided by the caregivers in the home setting and they ask different questions, okay? So, it's a little difficult to put apples to oranges but I would say this -- we actually asked the primary investigator this same question and what she said was, patient number one has gotten very aware of what's going on in her surroundings. If I showed you the video from pre-treatment, she was very, very -- almost in a catatonic state in a wheelchair, really not interacting. Now, she's much more aware. She's trying to communicate and vocalize. And basically, what the PI told us is, she does not like going through the testing at the hospital. She gets irritated and she doesn't want to cooperate. And at this point, she has the strength to not cooperate. So, that has been driving some of the -- it's driving the score that you're saying. She's essentially not necessarily cooperating with some aspects of the testing; where in the home setting, she's getting very much a comfortable situation and the parents are seeing it. The other thing I would say, is that some of the improvement that I mentioned earlier in the RSBQ that Patient 1 had was in the anxiety, the general mood aspect of things. That is not captured in the R-MBA.
Sean Nolan: I gotcha. So, in patient number one -- first of all, the R-MBA is administered by the clinician in the hospital; the RSBQ is provided by the caregivers in the home setting and they ask different questions, okay? So, it's a little difficult to put apples to oranges but I would say this -- we actually asked the primary investigator this same question and what she said was, patient number one has gotten very aware of what's going on in her surroundings. If I showed you the video from pre-treatment, she was very, very -- almost in a catatonic state in a wheelchair, really not interacting.
Apples to oranges, but I would I would say this we we actually asked the primary investigator the.
Speaker Change: The same question and and what she said was.
Speaker Change: The patient number one.
Speaker Change: Has has gotten very aware of what's going on in her surroundings.
Speaker Change: If I showed you the video from pre treatment. She was very very almost like in a catatonic state in a wheelchair really not interacting now she is much more aware she's she's trying to communicate and vocalized and basically.
Now, she's much more aware. She's trying to communicate and vocalize. And basically, what the PI told us is, she does not like going through the testing at the hospital. She gets irritated and she doesn't want to cooperate. And at this point, she has the strength to not cooperate. So, that has been driving some of the -- it's driving the score that you're saying. She's essentially not necessarily cooperating with some aspects of the testing; where in the home setting, she's getting very much a comfortable situation and the parents are seeing it.

She's essentially not necessarily cooperating with some aspects of the testing; where in the home setting, she's getting very much a comfortable situation and the parents are seeing it.
Sean P. Nolan: And basically, what the PI told us is that she does not like going through the testing at the hospital. She gets irritated, and she doesn't want to cooperate. And at this point, she has the strength to not cooperate. So that has been driving some of the... It's driving the score that you're saying.
Speaker Change: With the P. I told us as she does not like.
Speaker Change: Going through the testing at the hospital she gets irritated.
Speaker Change: And she doesn't want to cooperate and and at this point. She has the strength to not cooperate. So that is that has been driving some of the.
Speaker Change: It's driving the score that you're saying she she is essentially not necessarily cooperating with some aspects of the disease of the testing.
Sean P. Nolan: She's essentially not necessarily cooperating with some aspects of the disease and of the testing, where in the home setting, you know, she's getting a very comfortable situation, and her parents are seeing it. The other thing I would say is that some of the improvement that I mentioned earlier in the RSVQ that patient one had was in the anxiety, the general mood aspect of things. That is not captured in the RMBA.
Speaker Change: We're in the in the home setting you know she's getting very much okay.
Speaker Change: Comfortable situation and.
The other thing I would say, is that some of the improvement that I mentioned earlier in the RSBQ that Patient 1 had was in the anxiety, the general mood aspect of things. That is not captured in the R-MBA. So, that's one aspect there. On Patient 2, her R-MBA improved significantly and it was driven, essentially, by her socialization, her interest in communicating with people and also her seizures. Those were big drivers. In the RSBQ -- neither of those is addressed, neither one of those is quantified. And in the RSBQ, again, she had an elevation in anxiety and some of the nighttime behaviors which, again, if you think about what I said about Patient 1 and steroids, that could also be the case. She has had a bit of an issue with tolerating the steroids. So hopefully, again, that gives you some perspective on those two things. And Suku have something to add as well. And also, for Patient 2, I would highlight the seizures were decreased by 95% post-gene therapy treatment. So this patient had, I think, 8 to 16 seizures a month. And other than one seizure, day 13 post-treatment, the patient has had none. No new seizures. And also, the use of combination anti-epileptic meds has dropped by 25%.
The other thing I would say, is that some of the improvement that I mentioned earlier in the RSBQ that Patient 1 had was in the anxiety, the general mood aspect of things. That is not captured in the R-MBA. So, that's one aspect there. On Patient 2, her R-MBA improved significantly and it was driven, essentially, by her socialization, her interest in communicating with people and also her seizures. Those were big drivers.

On Patient 2, her R-MBA improved significantly and it was driven, essentially, by her socialization, her interest in communicating with people and also her seizures.
Speaker Change: She's the parents are seeing is the other thing I would say is that some of the improvement that I mentioned earlier on the RSP Q. The patient one had was in the anxiety. The general mood aspect of things that is not captured in the R. M B yet.
Sean P. Nolan: So that's, you know, that's one aspect there of patient two. You know, her RMBA improved significantly, and it was driven essentially by her socialization, her interest in communicating with people, and also her seizures. You know, those were big drivers.
Speaker Change: So that's.
Speaker Change: That's one aspect there on patient too.
Speaker Change: Per our MBA improves significantly and it was driven essentially by her socialization her interest and communicating with people and also her seizures. So those were big drivers.
Those were big drivers. In the RSBQ -- neither of those is addressed, neither one of those is quantified. And in the RSBQ, again, she had an elevation in anxiety and some of the nighttime behaviors which, again, if you think about what I said about Patient 1 and steroids, that could also be the case. She has had a bit of an issue with tolerating the steroids. So hopefully, again, that gives you some perspective on those two things. And Suku have something to add as well.
Sukumar Nagendran: In the RSVQ, neither of those is addressed, nor is either of those quantified. And in the RSVQ, again, she had an elevation in anxiety and some of the nighttime behaviors, which again, if you think about what I said about patient one and steroids, that could also be the case. She has had a bit of an issue with tolerating the steroids. So hopefully, again, that gives you some perspective on those two things, and Suku had something to add as well. And also, for patient two, I would highlight that the seizures were decreased by 95% post-gene therapy treatment. So this patient had, I think, eight to 16 seizures a month. And other than one seizure, on day 13 post-treatment, the patient has had none, no new seizures. And also, the use of combination anti-epileptic meds has dropped by 25%.
Speaker Change: In the RSP Q. Neither of those is is addressed neither one of those is quantified.
Speaker Change: And in the RSP queue again, she had an elevation in anxiety and and some of the nighttime behaviors, which again, if you think about what I said about patient wanted to steroids that that could also be the case. She she has had a bit of an issue with tolerating the steroids. So hopefully again that gives.
Speaker Change: Just some perspective on those two things and Sukru had something that as well and also for patients two I would highlight the seizures decreased by 95% post gene therapy treatment. So this patient had I think 8%.
Sukumar Nagendran: Yeah. And also, for Patient 2, I would highlight the seizures were decreased by 95% post-gene therapy treatment. So this patient had, I think, 8 to 16 seizures a month. And other than one seizure, day 13 post-treatment, the patient has had none. No new seizures. And also, the use of combination anti-epileptic meds has dropped by 25%. That is a big deal from a clinical standpoint and for the parents and caregivers and from an activities of daily living standpoint. The second thing you should notice in Patient 2, some of the hand function and stereotypic movements have decreased -- which also makes it promising that this patient may eventually get independent functionality of the hands. And there is something else that goes on in about 40% of these patients with Rett syndrome, which is the upper and lower extremities have abnormal circulation, which means the hands and feet get quite cold and at times, painful. And you would note in Patient 2 and Patient 1, that result post-gene therapy treatment. So, other than R-MBA and RSBQ -- which, obviously, we focus on for different reasons -- these major clinical observations, I think, could be life-changing in this patient population. Our next. In the line of Jack Allen, Robert W. Baird.
Sukumar Nagendran: Yeah. And also, for Patient 2, I would highlight the seizures were decreased by 95% post-gene therapy treatment. So this patient had, I think, 8 to 16 seizures a month. And other than one seizure, day 13 post-treatment, the patient has had none. No new seizures. And also, the use of combination anti-epileptic meds has dropped by 25%.

Sukumar Nagendran: Yeah. And also, for Patient 2, I would highlight the seizures were decreased by 95% post-gene therapy treatment. So this patient had, I think, 8 to 16 seizures a month. And other than one seizure, day 13 post-treatment, the patient has had none. No new seizures. And also, the use of combination anti-epileptic meds has dropped by 25%. That is a big deal from a clinical standpoint and for the parents and caregivers and from an activities of daily living standpoint. The second thing you should notice in Patient 2, some of the hand function and stereotypic movements have decreased -- which also makes it promising that this patient may eventually get independent functionality of the hands.
Speaker Change: <unk> made to 16 seizures, a month and other than one seizure data didn't post treatment. The patient has had none no new seizures and also the use of our combination anti epileptic med sub dropped by 25% that is a big deal from a clinical standpoint, and for the parents and caregivers and some in activities of daily.
Sukumar Nagendran: That is a big deal from a clinical standpoint and for the parents and caregivers and from an activities of daily living standpoint. The second thing you should notice in patient two is that some of the hand function and stereotypic movements have decreased, which also makes it promising that this patient may eventually get independent functionality of the hands. And there is something else that goes on in about 40% of these patients with Rett syndrome, which is that the upper and lower extremities have abnormal circulation, which means the hands and feet get quite cold and at times painful.
Speaker Change: Living standpoint, the second thing you should notice and patients too.
Speaker Change: Some of the hand function and Sidoti pick movements have decrease which also makes it a promising that discretion may eventually get independent functionality of the hands.
And there is something else that goes on in about 40% of these patients with Rett syndrome, which is the upper and lower extremities have abnormal circulation, which means the hands and feet get quite cold and at times, painful. And you would note in Patient 2 and Patient 1, that result post-gene therapy treatment. So, other than R-MBA and RSBQ -- which, obviously, we focus on for different reasons -- these major clinical observations, I think, could be life-changing in this patient population.
Speaker Change: And there is something else that goes on in about 40% of these patients with ret syndrome, which is the upper and lower extremities.
Speaker Change: Enormous escalation, which means the hands than we'd get quite cool and at times painful and you would note in patient two and patient one that.
Sukumar Nagendran: And you would note in patient two and patient one, that result post-gene therapy treatment. So other than RMB and RSVQ, which obviously we focus on for different reasons, these major clinical observations could be life-changing in this patient population. Our next. In the line of Jack Allen, Robert W. Baird.
That result post gene therapy treatment, so other than our RMB in RSV, <unk>, which obviously, we focus on for different reasons. These major clinical observations I think could be life changing in this patient population.
Operator: Our next question comes from the line of Jack Allen, Robert W. Baird. Please proceed with your question.
Speaker Change: Our next question comes from the line of Jack Allen Robert W. Baird. Please proceed with your question.
Jack Allen: Alright, thanks for taking the question and congratulations on the progress. I'm looking to zoom out a little bit and take attention to the Astellas collaboration that you have. It seems like you're really developing data quite quickly, especially with the pediatric low dose data expected in the middle of this year and the potential initial high dose data later this year. Can you remind us of the structure of the Astellas deal and how it relates to the Rett program and what measures are in place to ensure you get a fair deal? I believe the option was fairly open-ended when that deal was struck.
Speaker Change: Alright, thanks for taking the question and congratulations on the progress.
Speaker Change: I'm looking to zoom out a little bit and.
Speaker Change: Take attention to the Astellas collaboration that you have it seems like you're really developing data quite quickly, especially with the pediatric low dose data expected in the middle of this year and then potential initial high dose data later this year can.
Speaker Change: Can you remind us of the structure of this Dallas deal and how it relates to the rap program and what measures are in place to ensure you get a fair deal I believe the option was fairly open ended when that deal was struck.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I mean, essentially what astellas has as a as a REIT.
Kamran Alam: Yeah. I mean, essentially, what Astellas has is a right to negotiate an option with us, an exclusive right that they have. There's no pre-determined terms, to your particular point. The option period gets triggered after a number of -- about a handful of pediatric patients have, call it, six months of data or so. So, there's no time crunch at this particular point in time where Astellas has to come in and either request an opt-in or not, that's likely a 2025 topic. The other point that I want to really stress, is that Astellas certainly has line of sight to things but it doesn't -- the agreement itself doesn't preclude another party, who might be interested in the program or in the company, from making an unsolicited offer. That's fine. We would just have to notify Astellas of that and they would have the ability to counter, if you will, but there's no blocking right in it. Hopefully, Jack, that gives you some perspective on that. Or did you have a follow-up?
Kamran Alam: Yeah. I mean, essentially, what Astellas has is a right to negotiate an option with us, an exclusive right that they have. There's no pre-determined terms, to your particular point. The option period gets triggered after a number of -- about a handful of pediatric patients have, call it, six months of data or so. So, there's no time crunch at this particular point in time where Astellas has to come in and either request an opt-in or not, that's likely a 2025 topic.
Speaker Change: To negotiate an option with us an exclusive right that they have theres no pre determined terms to cheer particular point.
Speaker Change: The option period gets gets triggered after a number of about a handful of pediatric patients.
Speaker Change: Call it six months of data or so so there is no time crunch at this particular point in time.
Speaker Change: You know, we're astellas has to come in and either request an opt in or not.
That's likely.
Speaker Change: A 2025 topic the other point that I want I want to really you know.
Kamran Alam: The other point that I want to really stress, is that Astellas certainly has line of sight to things but it doesn't -- the agreement itself doesn't preclude another party, who might be interested in the program or in the company, from making an unsolicited offer. That's fine. We would just have to notify Astellas of that and they would have the ability to counter, if you will, but there's no blocking right in it. Hopefully, Jack, that gives you some perspective on that. Or did you have a follow-up?
Speaker Change: Stress is that you know.
Speaker Change: Astellas certainly has line of sight to things, but it doesn't the agreement itself doesn't preclude.
Speaker Change: Another party, who might be interested in the program or in the company from making an unsolicited offer that that's fine.
Sean P. Nolan: That's fine. We would just have to notify Estella of that, and they would have the ability to counter, if you will, but there's no blocking right in it. Hopefully, Jack, that gives you some perspective on that. Or did you have a follow-up question? Yes, that's great, Keller. I actually do have a brief follow-up question about enrollment. How are you thinking about enrollment in these studies and any interpatient staggers? I know your competitor has recently announced that they're expanding a lower dose cohort, and they're allowed to dose in concurrence. At what point do you think you could get to concurrent dosing and what's the current stagger? The current stagger is 42 days and an IDMC meeting before you can proceed to the next patient. I think that, you know, it's a bit of a... more of an art than a science, and I think it's when you have enough data that you can make a request to remove the stagger.
That's fine. We would just have to notify Estella of that, and they would have the ability to counter, if you will, but there's no blocking right in it. Hopefully, Jack, that gives you some perspective on that. Or did you have a follow-up question?
We would just have to notify astellas of that and then they would have the ability to.
Speaker Change: To counter it if you will but theres no theres no blocking right at it.
Speaker Change: Yeah, Jack that gives you some perspective on that or did you have a follow up.
Jack Allen: Yep, that's great color. I actually do have a brief follow-up question about enrollment. How are you thinking about enrollment in these studies and any interpatient staggers? I know your competitor has recently announced that they're extending a lower dose cohort and they're allowed to dose in concurrence. At what point do you think you could get to concurrent dosing and what's the current stagger between patients right now? The current stagger is 42 days and an IDMC meeting before you can proceed to the next patient. I think that, you know, it's a bit of a... more of an art than a science, and I think it's when you have enough data that you can make a request to remove the stagger.
Jack Allen: Yep, that's great color. I actually do have a brief follow-up question about enrollment. How are you thinking about enrollment in these studies and any interpatient staggers? I know your competitor has recently announced that they're extending a lower dose cohort and they're allowed to dose in concurrence. At what point do you think you could get to concurrent dosing and what's the current stagger between patients right now?
Yes, that's great color I actually do have a brief follow up around enrollment.
Speaker Change: How are you thinking about enrollment in these studies and any inter patient staggers I know your competitor has recently announced that they are expanding at a lower dose cohort and they're allowed to dose.
Speaker Change: Concurrent.
Speaker Change: At what point do you think you could get to concurrent dosing and what's the current stagger between patients right now.
Kamran Alam: The current stagger's 42 days and an IDMC meeting before you can proceed to the next patient. I think that it's a bit of an art than a science and I think it's when you have enough data that you can make a request to remove the stagger. I think, for us, a good -- we took the three patients' worth of data and so we think, based on this data, we've demonstrated safety, preliminary efficacy and based on the pre-clinical data, there's a rationale to go to a higher dose and we're able to do that. So, instead of dosing three low dose patients in the adult study, we were able to do two patients and then move to the high dose -- which we think is going to be more informative to the overall program and, potentially, better for patients. So, if you apply that logic, there would be a point in time where we would be comfortable, potentially going to the IDMC and talking about removing the stagger and that's something we have to do when we feel that we've got data that we feel sufficient to support that request in a credible manner.

Speaker Change: The current staggers 42 days.
And then our DMC meeting before you can proceed to the next patient.
Speaker Change: Think that you know, it's a bit of a.
Speaker Change: Of an art than a science I think it's when you have enough data that you can make a request to remove the stagger you know I think for us.
Sean P. Nolan: You know, I think for us, a good example of that is, you know, we took three patients' worth of data and said, we think, based on this data, we've demonstrated safety, preliminary efficacy, and based on the preclinical data, there's a rationale to go to a higher dose, and we're able to do that. So instead of dosing three low-dose patients in the adult study, we were able to do two patients and then move to the higher dose, which we think is going to be more informative for the overall program and potentially better for patients. So, if you apply that logic, you know, there would be a point in time where we would be comfortable potentially going to the IDMC and talking about removing this dagger. And that's just something we'll have to do when we feel that, you know, we've got data that we feel is sufficient to support that request in a credible manner.
Speaker Change: It does.
Speaker Change: No. We took the three patients worth of data in and said we think based on this data you know we've demonstrated the safety preliminary efficacy and based on the preclinical data that there is a rationale to go to a higher dose and we were able to do that so instead of dosing three low dose.
Kamran Alam: So, instead of dosing three low dose patients in the adult study, we were able to do two patients and then move to the high dose -- which we think is going to be more informative to the overall program and, potentially, better for patients.

Speaker Change: Patients in the adult study, we were able to do two patients and then move to the higher dose, which we think is going to be more informative to the overall program and potentially better for patients.
Speaker Change: So if you apply that logic.
Speaker Change: There would be a point in time, where we would be comfortable potentially going to the IBM Z and talking about removing the stagger.
Speaker Change: And that's just something we'll have to do when we feel that we.
Speaker Change: We've got data that we feel is sufficient to support that requested a credible manner.
Jack Kilgannon Allen: So, Got it. Great. Thanks so much for the call and congratulations again on the progress. Thanks, Jack.
So, if you apply that logic, there would be a point in time where we would be comfortable, potentially going to the IDMC and talking about removing the stagger and that's something we have to do when we feel that we've got data that we feel sufficient to support that request in a credible manner.
Got it. Great. Thanks so much for the color and congratulations again on the progress. Thanks, Jack.
Jack Allen: Got it. Great, thanks so much for the color and congratulations again on the progress.
Speaker Change: Got it great. Thanks, so much for the color and congratulations again on the progress.
Speaker Change: Thanks Jay.
Speaker Change: Yeah.
Kamran Alam: Thanks, Jack.
We have time for one last question. Our last question comes from the line of Silvan.
Unknown Caller: We have time for one last question. Last, Yeah, thank you. Congratulations on the great update and thank you for taking my question. I just have a question about your dose, roughly going ahead, you can double the dose faster than you expected. Can you just talk about what that means in terms of the, you know, in terms of the efficacy results that you're hoping for? Do you think there could be a greater increase, or what is your hope for the higher dose? I'll start and ask Suku to comment as well, but first of all, when you look at the preclinical data, there is a dose response. So you would expect there to be a greater response moving to the higher dose. But you know, what's driving that?
Operator: We have time for one last question. Our last question comes from the line of Silvan Tuerkcan with Citizens JMP, Please proceed with your question.
Yeah, thank you. Congrats on the great update and thank you for taking my question. I just have a question about your dose -- roughly going ahead, you can double the dose faster than you expected. Can you just talk about what that means in terms of the efficacy results that you're hoping for? Do you think there could be a greater increase or what is your hope for the higher dose here? I'll start and ask Suku to opine as well but, first of all, when you look at the preclinical data, there is a dose response. So you would expect there to be a greater response moving to the higher dose. But you know, what's driving that?
Silvan Tuerkcan: Yeah, thank you. Congrats on the great update and thank you for taking my question.

Can you just talk about what that means in terms of the efficacy results that you're hoping for? Do you think there could be a greater increase or what is your hope for the higher dose here?
Silvan: With citizens JMP. Please proceed with your question.
Silvan: Yeah. Thank you congrats on the great update and thank you for taking my question.
Silvan: I have a question about your dose roughly going ahead. Your you can double the dose faster than you expected can you just talk about what that means and in the you know in terms of the efficacy results that you're hoping for did you think there could be a greater increase or what is your hope for higher dose here.
I'll start and ask Suku to opine as well but, first of all, when you look at the preclinical data, there is a dose response. So, you would expect there to be a greater response moving to the higher dose. What's driving that? You anticipate that by giving roughly 75%, 80% more dose, that you'd be transducing more cells, you'd be generating more MECP2 in the cells that need more MECP2 and that overall, you should have a more significant clinical effect than what was seen in the low dose. Thank you. Yeah, if I may have a quick... That is all the time we have. Goodbye. I'd like to hand it back to management for closing remarks. Okay, I just want to thank everyone for taking the time and appreciate you listening to the story and the work you're to continue to progress in 2024 and generate additional data and, hopefully, more value-creating milestones for the investors and care for the patients. So, thank you, and have a good night.

Sue Gantry: We anticipate that by giving roughly 70, 580% more dose that you'd be trans dusing more cells you'd be generating more M. A C. P too in the cells that need more <unk>.
Speaker Change: And that overall you should have you know.
More significant clinical effect than what was seen in in the low dose.
