Recurrent pericarditis is a debilitating therapies disease with no currently approved Pericarditis is chest pain caused by pericardial inflammation Recurrent pericarditis causes significant impairment of quality of life constrictive pericarditis) but, when they occur, they can be life 8 | 28 January 2019 Acute Episodes Have Favorable Prognosis: For most patients, acute pericarditis episodes last less than a few weeks and resolve on their own Recurrent Disease Creates Burden on QOL: Although pericarditis is rarely life-threatening, patients may have significant impairment on quality of life due to chest pain: - Interference with sleep, as chest pain worsens while reclining - Lower productivity at work or school - Some patients may be on disability or close to it - Standard of care treatments have significant AEs Complications Are Rare But Severe: Complications of pericarditis are rare (i.e., effusion, tamponade, threatening and often require surgery Acute Pericarditis is diagnosed in patients with two of the following: (1) Retrosternal, pleuritic chest pain (85-90% of cases), (2) Abnormal ECG (ST elevation and PR depression); (3) Pericardial effusion Often Idiopathic Etiology: Absent a clear sign of infection, it is assumed that most cases are post-viral, but are termed idiopathic Recurrent Pericarditis: Diagnosed if there is recurrence after initial episode of acute pericarditis, with a symptom-free interval of > 4-6 weeks First recurrence is followed by more recurrences between 20% - 30% of the time Involvement of IL-1 in Recurrent Idiopathic Pericarditis: IL-1 has been implicated by several case reports and the AIRTRIP Study to be critical in idiopathic pericarditis

GCA is a serious condition characterized by inflammation of medium-large blood vessels; it can lead to bilateral blindness if left untreated 3 life threatening! Rheumatologist I hate steroids, the long term side effects I definitely dont want to go blind. 18 | 28 January 2019 Sources: Medcape; Trinity Partners primary market research are sometimes worse than the disease but, GCA Patient There are people out there that need to get this disease under control, but they never receive the correct treatment, this is There is an urgency of treatment with these patients, compared to other conditions its serious. Rheumatologist 1 Chronic Inflammation of Medium-Large Blood Vessels - GCA is characterized by inflammation of medium-large blood vessels with predisposition for the cranial branches of the carotid artery and is typically found in patients over 50 years old. - Due to the impact on the carotid arteries, GCA is often characterized by temporal specific symptoms like headaches, jaw claudication and scalp tenderness 2 If left untreated, GCA can cause serious complications - While the onset of symptoms tends to be subacute, patients can experience acute events including permanent vision loss (~10-20% of patients) and/or aneurysms/dissections (~1-6% of patients) - Due to the threat of these more serious complications, giant cell arteritis is considered a medical emergency; treatment with high-dose steroids effectively prevents complications GCA variants associated with unique presentations - LV-GCA, characterized by the involvement of the aorta and its major proximal branches, is estimated to be involved in anywhere from ~30-80% of patients - ~40-50% of GCA patients suffer from Polymyalgia Rheumatica, a rheumatic disease characterized by widespread aching and stiffness; symptoms are relieved immediately upon starting on low-dose steroids
Current treatment paradigm for GCA involves high-dose steroids for all patients upon clinical suspicion st year after Steroid dose is increased MTX, AZA, Actemra) Steroid sparing agents are prescribed to ~40-60% of patients after their first flare and to all patients with chronic flares experience a relapse 19 | 28 January 2019 Source: Trinity Partners Primary Market Research (n=10 Rheumatologists) Patient relapses ~60-80% of patients will eventually 2+ Line Therapy Steroid sparing agent (e.g. Maintain Low Dose Steroids (<5mg/day) to Prevent Recurrence True Remission (discontinue treatment) ~40-60% of patients are tapered completely Patient Experiences se Flare patients flare agnosis Low dose steroids Disea ~30-50% of within the fir di All Patient Receive High-Dose Steroids: High-dose steroids are effective at preventing disease related complications; however, they may lead to life altering side-effects like osteoporosis and diabetes No Algorithmic Treatment Approach: A few treaters initiate steroid sparing agents early on in the treatment paradigm, relying on them more for the chronic treatment of GCA Others treat GCA in more of a stepwise fashion, adding new agents on top of steroids only following disease flares/relapse High dose steroids

Prurigo nodularis is characterized by pruritic lesions on patients extremities, which lead to significant distress and decreased quality of life Dermatologist Some patients present with lesions that 26 | 28 January 2019 Lesions may have a thickened appearance due to the patient scratching, the lesions bursting and then re-healing. are bleeding. Dermatologist The lesions of mild PN may look similar to skin cancer. However, these discrete lesions are not as well defined. 1 Numerous itchy lesions on extremities and lower back PN is characterized by the presence of one or many raised lesions in areas that can be scratched or picked at and an intense itching sensation in the surrounding area PN typically occurs in middle aged patients, ranging from 35-80 years old PN typically occurs when there is a trigger, such as a rash or bug bite, prompting patients to start a feedback loop of itching and picking 2 Presence of lesions and intense desire to itch typically leads to significant distress PN typically results in a decrease in quality of life due to psychological issues caused by/associated with cosmetic appearance of the lesions and constant itch sensation Physicians report that many patients desire to itch may be driven or exacerbated by psychological or behavioral issues in some cases 3 Many patients have an underlying skin or allergic condition in addition to PN ~30-50% of PN patients suffer from atopic conditions, including, but not limited to atopic dermatitis, a common dermatologic disease characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, and other associated skin conditions; symptoms are relieved with creams and topical steroids

IL-31 and OSM are implicated in the pathology of prurigo nodularis Dual-targeting of OSM and IL-31 though OSMRβ blockade has the potential to be disease modifying Quantitative Real-time PCR Analysis of IL-31 mRNA in Human Skin IL-31 significantly overexpressed in pruritic skin vs. non-pruritic skin Highest levels of IL-31 were detected in PN, one of the most pruritic forms of chronic skin inflammation In PN lesions there is a 50-fold upregulation of IL-31 mRNA vs. normal skin and a 4.5-fold upregulation vs. lesional atopic dermatitis Messenger RNA levels of IL-31, OSM and their receptor subunits (IL-31Rα and OSMRβ) are significantly elevated in lesions of prurigo nodularis, implicating them as major drivers of pruritus and fibrosis leading to disease pathophysiology While there was some variability in IL-31 mRNA levels seen among PN patients, levels in all patients were significantly elevated compared with healthy controls This phenotype is even more evident in the case of patients with prurigo nodularis that have an atopic diathesis since their receptor subunits are even more highly up-regulated than in prurigo nodularis alone These data provide strong mechanistic rationale to target both IL-31 and OSM by blocking OSMRβ Source: Internal Kiniksa Data (Generated by the Loser Lab) Source: Sonkoly et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2006; Internal Kiniksa Data (Generated by the Loser Lab) 29 | 28 January 2019
