Company ProfileRepliGen

• Late-stage pipeline with significant market opportunity– RG1068 to diagnose pancreatitis; >$100M U.S./E.U. market (Phase 3)

– RG2417 for bipolar depression; ~$2B market opportunity (Phase 2b)

– Two potentially transformative drugs for orphan CNS diseases; >$500M marketopportunity each (Pre-clinical)

• Financial sustainability– Strong cash position (~$59M); low cash burn and no debt

– Profits from Bioprocessing business and royalties fund therapeutics pipeline

• Proven strategy– Acquired patent from MIT; developed Erbitux® cell line; licensed to ImClone for $65M

– Acquired patent from Univ. of Michigan; developed Orencia® application; licensed toBristol-Myers for ~$65M(e) in royalties through 2013

Repligen acquires product candidates, advances them to a key inflectionpoint and captures value by commercializing or partnering

Our goal for 2011 is to file an NDA in the U.S. and an MAA in the E.U. for RG1068,secure partner for RG2417; assuming positive data in Q1 2011

BiologyRG1068 stimulates therelease of fluid by thepancreas; filling thepancreatic ducts, whichmakes them larger

Page 5: Rgen 101510

RG1068 Phase 3 Highlights

• ERCP is an invasive, risky endoscopic procedure for diagnosisof pancreatic duct abnormalities; associated with high morbidityand measurable mortality

• Patients in the Phase 3 study were evaluated for detection of 10pre-specified structural pancreatic abnormalities. MRI imagespre- and post-RG1068 were analyzed by three independentradiologists; ERCP used as “truth standard”

– Radiologists evaluation of data was flawed due to significant deviationsfrom the protocol

– FDA and EMA agreed to a “re-read” of images using three newradiologists

– Study showed that RG1068 aids in avoiding unnecessary ERCP; forevery patient on day of hospitalization from ERCP was saved

• Expect to complete Phase 3 re-read in Q1 2011• If successful, file New Drug Application (NDA) in Q2/Q3 2011

Market Opportunity

• Market opportunity in U.S./E.U. for MRI enhancement is greater than

$100M, assuming a price of $350/vial

• Evaluating other clinical applications and market opportunity outside

of U.S./E.U.

– Surgery: improve confidence in diagnosis and pre-surgical planning

– New potential indication: pancreatic cancer detection/staging

– Japan is a third promising market; high utilization of MRI and potential for

favorable pricing

RG2417 for Bipolar Depression

• Bipolar disorder symptoms include episodes of severe

depression and mania; depressive episodes account for

majority of impairment

• Current therapies for bipolar depression are ineffective in

most patients and have significant side effects

• Bipolar disorder is linked to abnormal activity in the

mitochondria, the power plant of a cell

• RG2417, an oral formulation of uridine, may affect

mitochondrial activity and improve symptoms of depression

in bipolar disorder with minimal to no side effects

Page 9: Rgen 101510

RG2417 Phase 2a Highlights

• Conducted a Phase 2a study resulting in statistically

significant improvement in depression on MADRS scale

– RG2417 well tolerated by patients; the adverse event profile for

RG2417 was equivalent to placebo

• Completed enrollment of Phase 2b study to confirm

Phase 2a results

• Expecting results from the Phase 2b study in the first

quarter of 2011

• Objective: license to a pharmaceutical partner in 2011

Market Opportunity

• Patients primarily seek treatment for the depressive symptoms

– Physicians report that 77% of the time patients seek treatement for

depressive symptoms as opposed to mania symptoms

• Psychiatrists have a high level of dissatisfaction with current

bipolar depression therapies because they are ineffective in

most patients and may have significant side effects

• Total costs of bipolar disorder ~$45 billion per year (NIH est.)

– Accounts for more than 16 million visits to a physician each year and

approximately 150,000 hospitalizations

• Worldwide prevalence >5 million

• Approximately $2B market opportunity (10% market

penetration)

Page 12: Rgen 101510

RG2833 for Friedreich’s Ataxia

• Friedreich’s ataxia is an orphan

disease characterized by progressive

loss of muscle function which leads to

incapacitation and loss of life

• Caused by a defective gene, which

results in low levels of Frataxin protein

• RG2833, an HDAC* inhibitor, is the

first compound to target activation of

the defective gene to increase

frataxin production

• >$500M market opportunityA 2.5 fold increase in

Frataxin levels may besufficient to arrestdisease progress

*Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC inhibitors) are aclass of compounds that interfere with the function ofhistone deacetylase, which is related to gene expression

Page 13: Rgen 101510

RG2833 Next Steps

• Initiate Phase 1 study following FDA approval

• Evaluate HDAC inhibitors in animal models of

Huntington’s disease and cognition

• Prosecute worldwide patent protection; composition

of matter patents; priority date May 2008

Page 14: Rgen 101510

RG3039 for Spinal MuscularAtrophy

• Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an orphan disease characterized by

progressive loss of muscle function and early death in most patients

• Caused by a defective gene SMN2, which results in low levels SMN protein

• RG3039, is the first compound to target activation of the defective gene;

increasing the production of SMN and potentially arresting the progress of

the disease

• >$500M market opportunity

A 1.5 to 2 fold increase in SMN levels has the potential to profoundlyaffect the course of the disease

Phase 3 Trial and Results

• One out of the three radiologists achieved primary endpoints

– 256 additional days of hospitalization with ERCP

• RG1068 well tolerated and safe vs. ERCP

• All three radiologists achieved secondary endpoints

Results

• Radiologists evaluation of data was flawed due to significantdeviations from the protocol

• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency(EMA) agreed to a “re-read” of images using three new radiologists

Status

• Improvements in image quality, visualization of pancreatic ducts and

confidence in diagnosis of abnormalitiesSecondary Endpoints

• Statistically significant improvements in the detection of structural

abnormalities using RG1068 enhanced MRI vs. MRI alone, with no

false positivesPrimary Endpoints

• 258 patients were evaluated with MRI and ERCP for detection of 10

pre-specified structural abnormalities

– ERCP used as “truth standard” for abnormalities

– MRIs analyzed by three independent radiologists

Trial Protocol

Page 28: Rgen 101510

Phase 2a Clinical Trial

• Statistically significant improvement in depression on

MADRS scale

• Well tolerated by patients; the adverse event profile for

RG2417 was equivalent to placebo

• Clinical benefit demonstrated primarily in patients with

moderate-severe disease history

Results

• Statistically significant decreases in the symptom of

depression as measured by the Montgomery Asberg

Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) with minimal

side effects

• MADRS has been previously accepted by the FDA for

drug approvals in bipolar depression

Primary Endpoint

A study with 83 patients, placebo-controlled, daily dosingand weekly assessment for 6 weeksProtocol
