Slide 3: Radiation-Induced Xerostomia (RIX)
Radiation-Induced Xerostomia (RIX) • RIX is one of the most frequent complications of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer • IMRT has reduced the incidence of RIX, but it still affects >50% of those completing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer • Persistent Grade 2/3 (Moderate/Severe) RIX
Slide 4: Significant Unmet Medical Need for an Effective RIX Treatment
Significant Unmet Medical Need for an Effective RIX Treatment Prevalence (US) Incidence (US) 170K 15K • >170,000 patients with long-term (i.e., at least 2 years post radiation treatment) grade 2/3 RIX in the US alone1,2,3 Grade 2/3 RIX patients in New cases of grade 2/3 the US RIX annually in the US
Slide 5: AAV2-hAQP1 Mechanism of Action
AAV2-hAQP1 Mechanism of Action • Acinar cells are particularly vulnerable to radiation treatment • Acinar cell death and disorganization of gland epithelium following Ionizing radiation radiation results in hyposalivation causes irreversible damage to acinar cells, • Expression of the water channel,
Slide 6: AQUAx: Phase 1 Clinical Study Design
AQUAx: Phase 1 Clinical Study Design • Open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation study (4 sites, US/Canada) • One-time administration of AAV-hAQP1 to one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) parotid glands Cohort Dose • Four dose-escalating cohorts with 3 participants per cohort (n=12 for unilaterally t

Slide 9: Average Change in XQ Score
AQUAx: Xerostomia Questionnaire1 • 8 symptom-specific questions which Average Change in XQ Score the participant answers using a scale from 0 (not present) to 10 (worst possible) • Responses to individual questions are summed to provide the Total Score (0-80), an overall measure of disease burden •
Slide 10: Average Change in DM Score
AQUAx: MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Dry Mouth Question Average Change in DM Score • Question #10 from MD Anderson Symptom Inventory – Head and Neck1 • During the last 24 hours, please rate “Your dry mouth at its WORST” • Scale from 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine) Average Dry Mouth
Slide 11: Average Change in GRCQ Score
AQUAx: McMaster Global Rate of Change Questionnaire Score • Participants are asked, Average Change in GRCQ Score “Overall, has there been any change in your Dry Mouth since you received study treatment?” • Potential answers are “Better”, “About the Same”, or “Worse” • If they answer "Better" or "Wor
