CAEL - 101 Opportunity Overview in AL Amyloidosis AL Amyloidosis effects major organs leading to a high mortality CAEL - 101 well - tolerated and sustained organ response in Phase 1 Preparing for Phase 2 Broad protection through regulatory exclusivity and IP Pioneering antibody developed to specifically target AL Fibrils Potential Best - in - Class treatment to dissolve amyloid deposits 4 30 , 000 - 45 , 000 patients in the US and EU, 4 , 500 newly diagnosed patients per year

 

 

Amyloid Fibrils Formation in Tissue 5 Misfolded protein AL Amyloidosis patients Misfolded proteins collect together Collection of misfolded protein creates Amyloid fibrils Plasma Cells Plasma Cells Produce Proteins Normal Protein cell Bone marrow produce plasma cell Bone Amyloid Fibrils deposit in tissues Normal Plasma Protein Cell Production Mechanism of Amyloid Formation in Tissues

 

 

AL Amyloidosis Impact on Organs & Tissue 60% - 80% of patients - leads to end - stage kidney disease 65% - 75% of patients - leads to heart failure and high mortality 20% - 45% of patients - peripheral neuropathy leading to pain, numbness, and weakness 6 5% - 35 % - Other o rgans
