Humanitarian Use Device • The device is designed to treat or diagnose a disease or condition that affects fewer than 4,000 individuals per year in the U.S. • The device is not available otherwise, and there is no comparable device available to treat or diagnose the disease or condition; and • The device will not expose patients to unreasonable or significant risk, and the benefits to health from the use outweigh the risks • Clinical data must support “safety” and “probable benefit” argument • Exempt from “effectiveness requirement” consistent with the HDE requirements
Clinical Trial Supporting the HUD Registration of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System* • Miltenyi supported a Phase II multi-center clinical trial sponsored by the BMT CTN (BB-IDE 11965) which enrolled 47 AML patients from October 2005-December 2008 • Evaluated the use of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System for selecting CD34+ cells from HLA-matched related donors for allogeneic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative therapy in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in 1st or 2nd CR, without additional GVHD prophylaxis * Miltenyi provided material goods only in the support of this study. MBI has negotiated rights through the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) to cross reference the BMT CTN 0303 IDE submission for purposes of product registration
CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent SystemProposed Humanitarian Use Indication “Humanitarian Use Device: Authorized by U.S. Federal law for processing allogeneic HLA-matched hematopoietic progenitor cells-apheresis (HPC-A) from a related donor to obtain a CD34+ cell enriched population intended for hematopoietic reconstitution following a myeloablative preparative regimen without the need for additional graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first or second morphologic complete remission”

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) • Most common leukemia diagnosis in adults1 • U.S. incidence: ~ 12,330 new cases diagnosed annually • Mortality is roughly 8,950 cases per year • However, less than 2,500 patients progress to transplant • Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the single most effective therapy currently available for the prevention of relapse and shows significant survival benefit in AML patients with intermediate and poor risk cytogenetics in first complete remission (CR1)2 1 http://www.Cancer.org; 8/26/10 2Koreth, J et al. JAMA 2009
Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) Complicates Allogeneic Transplantation From Matched Related Donors (MRD)1-6 • Reduced incidence of leukemic relapse and overall survival often not realized due to complications caused by GVHD • Acute GVHD (aGVHD) risk is 35-45% • 33-81% of these patients will develop chronic GVHD (cGVHD), resulting in post-transplant morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life • Immunosuppressive agents used to prevent and treat aGVHD do not affect incidence of cGVHD • Previous studies demonstrate that T cell depletion reduces the risk of severe acute and chronic GVHD 1 Ferrara J, et al.

Chronic GVHD of the Oral Mucosa Walker, I; 2011 BMT Tandem Meetings CBMTG Section; Clinical Trials Network Meeting. www.cbmt.org
Chronic GVHD and Quality of Life • Quality of life (QoL) at 6 or 12 months is significantly worse in patients with acute or cGVHD after transplant1 • QoL at 12 months improves unless cGVHD develops1 • Significantly less patients return to work if they develop cGVHD after allogeneic transplantation2 • Only 41% of patients with cGVHD return to work at 3 years, compared to 95% of patients without cGVHD2 1 Lee et al. BMT 2006; (38) 305-10 2 Wong et al. Blood. 2010; 115(12)2508-19
Chronic GVHD Treatment • The treatment of cGVHD with long-term corticosteroids increases the risk of cataract formation, avascular necrosis, and osteoporosis1 • The 10-year survival is less than 5% for patients affected by severe cGVHD • There are no effective options for the prevention or treatment of chronic GVHD 1 Horowitz, ME., and Sullivan, KM. Blood Reviews (2006); 20: 15–27
Unmet Medical Need Served by The CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System • The incidence and severity of GVHD are most effectively reduced by ex vivo T cell depletion (TCD) of the allograft • There is currently no approved method for ex vivo TCD for allogeneic SCT in the United States • If approved, the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System will be the only FDA approved method of CD34+ enrichment and passive TCD available
Clinical Study Rationale • Use of ex vivo T cell depletion (TCD) has been limited by • logistical difficulties and variability in TCD methods • lack of an FDA-approved method • concerns regarding potential risk of graft rejection and leukemic relapse • A multi-center trial of TCD in AML patients in complete remission (CR1/CR2) using standard eligibility criteria and a uniform method of TCD was warranted

Cellular Testing Requirements • Cell Viability (7-AAD), TNC and CD34+ cell content • At product receipt • After platelet and antibody wash • On CliniMACS® CD34-enriched fraction • CD3+ T cell content • At product receipt • On CliniMACS® CD34-enriched fraction • Other cellular testing on CliniMACS® CD34-enriched fraction only • CD14+ monocytes • CD19+ or CD20+ B cells • CD56+ NK Cells
Donors and Products • 47 patients enrolled, 44 proceeded to transplant • 86 products collected • Total lots (cells from one tubing set) assessed=84 • Collections pooled for 2 patients • 4 sites processed from 9 to 34 lots • 4 sites processed ≤ 4 lots
CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Post-Processing PerformanceN = 84
Center to CenterStatistical Analysis • Sites processing ≥ 9 lots compared individually (N=4) • Sites processing ≤ 4 lots pooled (N=4) • Multivariate analysis used a linear mixed effect model to account for repeated measures (≥ 2 lots for most patients) • Pairwise center comparisons were performed with Tukey-Kramer adjustment for multiple comparisons
Post Processing Outcomes All centers were able to process grafts that met the study criteria
CD34+ Cells x 106/kg of Patient Weight Infused CD34+/kg CD34+ Target Dose CD34+ Minimum Dose All patients received the minimum CD34+ dose (> 2.0x106 cells/kg) 84.1% of patients received > 5 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg
CD3+ Cells x 105/kg of Patient Weight Infused CD3+/kg Upper limit of CD3+ dose No patients received more than 1.0x105 CD3+ cells/kg
Final Cellular Product Summary • All gram stains/14 day cultures were negative • All endotoxin < 5.0 EU/kg • No significant infusion related toxicities observed
Conclusions - Secondary EndpointCliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System Performance • All sites, and all products met and most exceeded study goals for: • CD34+ cell infusion dose > 2 x 106/kg • 84% met the goal of > 5 x 106/kg • CD3+ cell infusion dose < 1 x 105/kg • The performance of the CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System was stable and reproducible, resulting in a consistently high degree of CD34+ cell enrichment, T cell depletion and sterility in a multi-center setting
