And we think we have with PetriniType an alternative product that can give patients the weight loss they're looking for, but in a more pleasant weight loss experience. And we really think that, you know, the dynamics we're looking at today will only be exaggerated further as we see alternatives coming out because then the conversations will change from can you tolerate a therapy to will you accept it? If there is an alternative, what will patients accept? And we at least speculate that even more patients will not accept being on a GLP-one with all the side effects you often see with these molecules.</doc> <doc id='2'>Prakhar Agrawal Got it, and obviously we've seen a lot of activity in the amylin space recently, so there was cabrizema data at ADA, Lilly presented some data for their amylin drug which is with a cabrizema, it's a little bit early stage, Metsarah has an Amylin. So with all those competition coming in, which everyone probably predicted would happen, how do you sort of highlight some of petrolinitis differentiation in this increasing incompetent space? Space?</doc> <doc id='3'>Adam Steensberg Yeah. It is really good to start to see more clinical data readouts in this space of the amylin. And I would say with all the data that we have seen coming out this year, that confirms to us that we have what still looks to be the best in class opportunity. When you look at the totality of data, it is still important when you look at these molecules that you do not only focus on, let's say, efficacy and then disregard safety at the same. So you need to balance always what is what is the efficacy you're looking for and what is the safety profile that is our tolerability profile that comes along that efficacy.</doc> <doc id='4'>And when we look at the totality of of that experience, we still think that the Treinside by far looks to have the strongest profile among these clinical assets. If you take the quinolantide, which is of course the one that is furthest developed, where Novo's main focus so far has been Carcurisema, that's a combination product. That's not an alternative. And then but what we were excited about, considering that data set from their phase three program was actually the arm where they also tested monotherapy of cadrelioside, where they actually showed 12% weight loss with almost placebo like side effects. And we think we have a product that will give more weight loss due to the specific features of our molecules that really reconfirm our belief that Petrides has the potential to really lead in this new category and also that the category can actually become the largest category</doc> <doc id='5'>Prakhar Agrawal Okay. And maybe can you help us understand the specific differentiation versus gagrelentide? Is it the half life, potency or something else that you can do with petrolentide? Adam Steensberg Yeah. So a lot of these there's of course a lot lot of, you can say, scientific rigor behind choosing these molecules. And if you think about coagrelin type by Novo Nordisk and then petraintide by us, the way it interacts with the amylin receptors and the calitronin receptors, we believe are quite similar. And that's why it's really reassuring not only the efficacy signal from cadherin type, but also the safety signal from cadherin type. So we have a very balanced approach and we use also human amylin as the backbone.</doc> <doc id='6'>Other companies have chosen different paths and I think we are starting to see now that maybe some of those decisions will then carry out carry some side effects and maybe even some quite significant safety signals, which so far it looks like we have avoided with the decisions we have made. Compared to caquilinide, we have a significant upside in the fact that we our molecule is stable and neutral pH, and what we believe that translate into is that we don't see the same degree of injection site reactions as has seen with ekaglutide, we have not seen</doc> <doc id='7'>the same degree of immunogenicity. And then we have a much higher bioavailability, so we get more drug to the receptor when we inject.</doc> <doc id='8'>Prakhar Agrawal Okay, got it. And you announced a deal with Roche earlier in the year. I thought it was great economics. But maybe strategically, why did you feel Roche was the right partner to maximize the value of Betterment Day? Adam Steensberg Yes.</doc> <doc id='9'>So we after we got our Phase 1b data last summer last year, we started a very kind of structured process to identify the right pharma partner for us to realize our vision of becoming a key player in obesity, which was extremely important for us, this was a very competitive process. I had been on quite a few last cap CEOs to ultimately choose us. What was extremely important for us was the strong commitment they have made to actually become a leader in this space. We didn't just wanna team up with somebody who just thought it would be hard to have an obesity asset. We actually, it's a big effort to go in and lead in this space and that was with with us.</doc> <doc id='10'>We found a company who convinced us that they wanna lead in this. We were impressed with how they presented their manufacturing plans because ultimately, you cannot just tap into existing manufacturing capacity. Yes, you can do that, but then you will not get the most efficient. And they convinced us that the plans they have by building new fit for purpose manufacturing capacity would be a huge edge for us as we launch these molecules together. And then of course, lastly, we actually managed to get 50% shared economics on also the combination products with their c c d three eighty eight, which is a GLP one GLP molecule.</doc> <doc id='11'>So of course, that added to the value opportunity. So so, yes, we are now sharing the the profit fifty fifty with us, but we actually also got a new value opportunity in, and at the same time, a lot of good economics. So those were probably the three main reasons.</doc> <doc id='12'>Prakhar Agrawal Yes. And on the manufacturing investments, we saw some announcements from Roche as well. I think 700,000,000 investment in the North Carolina plant. Like how much of that capacity is going to be focused on petrolinta, if you can speak about that? Adam Steensberg Yes, I cannot share the specifics, but just I can share that we feel very confident that HUS is making the right investments in this investments needed to support the launch without any, you can say, shortage. And it's perhaps also an aspect of this agreement which has been overlooked a little bit that while we will share all development cost and also the future profit, we, Zealand, do not have to finance any manufacturing investments. That would be us that is responsible for financing all these investments, which is of course also a lot of dollars short term at least for us that we save.</doc> <doc id='13'>Prakhar Agrawal Got it. And when you were running the process and like what was attractive, what better than tied to Roche, what were the some of the two or three attributes that was really interesting? Was it a differentiated mechanism? Was it on the safety tolerability side? If you can just lay out the reasons that Roche will tolerate, we have to be involved in the ambulance space.</doc> <doc id='14'>Adam Steensberg Yes. I think they will, of course, have to speak for themselves either ultimately were so excited as I would say most of their peers in the industry was as well. So but I would but for me, it's a logical consequence of looking at the current market dynamics. With the GLP-1s, where we have two established brands, of course, it's going to be hugely difficult to come in with another GLP-one and start to lead if you already have very established brands. You're You're going to have high rebate walls, you're going to have a lot of prescribing experience with</doc> <doc id='15'>existing molecules, and you're also going to fight against ten, twenty years of data. So but coming in with a new modality, coming in with an alternative, then suddenly you have an opportunity to lead in a new category instead of trying to eat your way into something that is very established.</doc> <doc id='16'>That is a much more attractive value proposition. Also, you think about the launch years, it's it's a much more compelling opportunity to launch with a new category because you will be you can say the first alternative for people who do not know where else to go, if you launch and with a similar mode of action, then you will have to convince somebody why you should take that molecule rather than a new in a in a very existing and well known molecular entity. So this opportunity to lead in a new category, I think, is what was appealing to many of the companies we spoke to.</doc> <doc id='17'>Prakhar Agrawal Got it. Makes sense. Maybe onto the some of the clinical data, you have the ongoing Phase 2b that will read out the forty two weeks will read out next year. Just clear on what are you hoping to see maybe starting with efficacy? Adam Steensberg Yes. So what we hope to see is a molecule that can provide patients with a GLP-one like weight loss, and that is in the mid teens, so fifteen percent to twenty percent what we have seen. And then with a much more benign tolerability profile, we are already very confident in the tolerability profile because we have sixteen week data. We have also data from Novo Nordisk, which shows that it's almost placebo like experience that you have when you get a patrinetide as compared to when you get the GLP-1s. So and on the efficacy side, we achieved 8.6% weight loss over sixteen weeks.</doc> <doc id='18'>And those models would suggest that we can easily achieve the weight loss we're looking for. What I think is super important as we continue to mature our view on the future BT market is to maybe that go a little bit of that, what is the number? This is about a profile of a drug. Most patients, if you ask them, are looking for a 10% to 20% weight loss. And we and and thus, we we have to get away from this weight loss Olympics.</doc> <doc id='19'>We need to get into talking about what is the profile of the drug, which drugs can give patients that weight loss they're looking for, but in a more pleasant experience. And then importantly, which is the big big big miss of the current therapies is how do we manage to get patients to stay in therapy. The reason that we have so low volumes of patients on treatment is because they stopped taking the GLP-1s far, far too early today. And we think we can change that with enamelin.</doc> <doc id='20'>Prakhar Agrawal Yes. And I think that's an important point because I think people under appreciate the duration of therapy for Alnylam drug. So like what are you based on your research, what's the sort of the state time for GLP-1s and how much further can you improve with an amylin therapy even as monotherapy option? Adam Steensberg Yes, but I think it has actually not changed a lot this daytime on a GLP-1s. And we know, I mean, from the launch years, I mean that within the one already in one once we have thirty percent who drops off and probably within a year is less than than fifty percent who are still on on therapy. By those who leaves, the majority are actually people who say it's because I cannot tolerate the drug. Of course, there are other reasons as well, but the major极是 because they cannot tolerate it. And there's actually a big dilemma here because if you only achieve a weight loss and you don't manage to maintain it, we actually you could actually be worse off.</doc> <doc id='21'>So it is so important we start to think about how do we get people to stay on therapy. And we all know that an obese person is very motivated to lose weight. Once you have achieved the weight loss, you become less motivated, and that also means that you will accept less side effects. And that's where we think amylin will come in and be something you can actually have that you can also enjoy being on when you have achieved your 极是 loss because it has this feature of making people feel full faster rather than losing their appetite. So it's actually also beyond the classical tolerability issues</doc> <doc id='22'>Prakhar Agrawal</doc> <极是 id='23'>And on the safety tolerability side, obviously, we have been comparing it with semaglutide, but don't you think the market is moving now more closer to tirzepatide, which has really good safety tolerability as well, so how would you compare ambulance versus let's say dual agonist, like Adam Steensberg a GLP, GLP agonist which has good safety? Yeah, but I politely probably have to disagree with your statement there. In my book, think the safety and tolerability profiles between Vigovi and and and Zepbound are quite similar. You may data at least suggest that you could get a higher weight loss on on Zepbound, but again, as we discussed before, if you balance things net net, you still have all the side effects with the GLP one TIP class that we have also seen with the GLP one class. I think another kind of fact underscoring this is that while the clinical data we always discuss for these molecules are data generated with the highest doses,极是 what was the weight loss you achieved with, let's say, fifteen milligrams of of of of Z bound, then the real world evidence suggests that very, few patients ever get to these doses.</doc> <doc id='24'>They end at much lower doses. I actually believe that the average dose being used real world for Zepbound is around seven and a half milligram, which is a very low dose. So they don't actually experience the weight loss that the clinical data suggest they can do. And then you might ask yourself, why is that? Why do they not get to those numbers? And we think a lot of that has to do with the tolerability profile. We used to talk a lot about just vomiting and nausea, but I think we need to discuss diarrhea in particular because these are side effects that tend to stick and not be able to titrate yourself out, especially when we start to think about the new classes of all GLP-1极是 where in my book, at least looks to be even worse.</doc> <doc id='25'>Prakhar Agrawal Got it. And you disclosed some pooled baselines during the last earnings call. But maybe just a broader question on obesity trials. We are seeing a lot of discontinuations in the obesity trials, especially in the placebo arm as well. We saw this with Lilly's orfagriplone data. Viking had a little readout that had极是 lot of disc conditions as well. What are you doing to mitigate this risk? Because this is a forty two week trial as well.</doc> <doc id='26'>Adam Steensberg Yes. But I mean, we, of course, don't have the data yet, but but I also hear other companies who have not seen the same issue. So I I don't know. Before we see the actual data, it's it's actually difficult to say what the real reasons are behind those discontinuations. Of course, there is this observation that if people don't achieve a weight loss in a placebo group, they could be less motivated to stay in the study.</极是> <doc id='27'>That could also, again, coming back to ofroglipin, why you had more discontinuations than average on on even on active drug because people did not achieve the weight loss they were looking for. So I think we need to see the individual data before we can start to draw conclusions.</doc> <doc id='28'>Prakhar Agrawal Anything you can comment on the pool discrimination rates in the ongoing trial? Adam Steensberg No. I mean, again, we try to keep a high level of data integrity on our clinical studies and not be too, you can say, to introduce any risks. So we like to keep things blinded until we have the data.</doc> <doc id='29'>Prakhar Agrawal Okay. And once you have the forty two weeks, I know there will be an interim readout this year to progress for to start the regulatory discussions around the Phase III plan. But what could a Phase III development plan look like? And a follow-up to that, like does Roche plan to run a CV outcomes trial for Amlens? Adam Steens
