Superior pharmacological properties of vodobatinib compared to that of nilotinib
CSF levels associated with efficacy in the PFF mouse model have been determined
and provide the target level for human
Vodobatinib has been dosed up in human with concomitant CSF concentration
measurements and the target level is achievable
Vodobatinib is approximately 20-fold more potent than nilotinib in the human Abl
kinase assay
Achievable vodobatinib levels in the CSF are approximately 10-fold higher than for
nilotinib. Nilotinib cannot be dosed any higher due to black box warning
The Cavg,CSF /IC50 ratio is approximately 200-fold higher than nilotinib, therefore both
in the numerator and denominator vodobatinib is superior
Vodobatinib does not exhibit QT prolongation which is observed and dose limiting
in case of nilotinib
Vodobatinib is not removed by efflux transporters in the CNS whereas nilotinib is
vulnerable to this transporter system

Vibozilimod (SCD-044) Highly-selective S1PR1 modulator with better safety profile than fingolimod
S1PR1 Modulator Landscape
Multiple approved S1PR1 modulators including fingolimod, ozanimod and etrasimod in Phase 3
Fingolimod is the 1st in class S1P receptor agonist approved, but being non-selective modulator, fingolimod is associated with serious cardiac side effects
Vibozilimod being highly-selective for S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) over S1PR3 which is associated with serious side effects in case of fingolimod
Higher selectivity for S1PR1 is expected to provide better safety profile

Vibozilimod (SCD-044) Pharmacodynamic and Safety Established in Phase 1 Study
Multi-part Phase 1 study completed in healthy volunteers
Single Ascending Dose
Six dose levels in males and one dose level in females
~55% lymphocyte count decrease following 1 mg dose
Multiple Ascending Dose
Four dose levels including two dose up-titration
schemes in males and one dose up-titration scheme in females
~60% lymphocyte count reduction observed at 1 mg
dose with asymptomatic bradycardia
Reduction in lymphocyte count confirms potential
efficacy of vibozilimod

SCO-120 Novel orally-active selective ERα degrader for the treatment of HR+/HER2- breast cancer
About 200,000 women are estimated to be diagnosed
with HR+/HER2- breast cancer in 2021 in US
• 20% to 30% acquire ESR1 mutations
IM fulvestrant is the only approved SERD for patients
failing on 1st line of treatment
• Poorly active against mutations
In healthy volunteers, SAD study completed and MAD
study ongoing#
No ≥Grade 3 events reported; generally safe and well
tolerated
Patent filed with estimated expiry in 2040

80% of the neonatal seizure patients respond to phenobarbital injection vs.
28% responding to Levetiracetam injection
Existing marketed product is not approved by USFDA and contains benzyl
alcohol as a preservative
Benzyl alcohol has been associated with “Gasping Syndrome” in neonates
and low birth weight infants
