2020-03-10 20:37
Part I [Business](index=5&type=section&id=Item%201.%20Business) Proteostasis Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary triple combination therapies for cystic fibrosis using a theratyping approach, facing intense competition and regulatory oversight while relying on third-party manufacturing and strategic partnerships [Overview](index=5&type=section&id=Overview) The company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm developing novel CF treatments through a theratyping approach, utilizing a pipeline of proprietary CFTR modulators and advancing its triple combination therapy through ex vivo studies after completing Phase 2 trials - The company's core strategy is **"theratyping,"** which aims to match CFTR modulators to individual patient responses rather than relying solely on genotype[17](index=17&type=chunk) - The pipeline consists of three investigational CFTR modulators: **posenacaftor** (PTI-801, a corrector), **dirocaftor** (PTI-808, a potentiator), and **nesolicaftor** (PTI-428, an amplifier)[21](index=21&type=chunk) - Completed Phase 2 studies with the triple combination in patients with F508del mutations and is now using ex vivo organoid assays to identify potential responders among patients with rare mutations for future trials[21](index=21&type=chunk) [Our Strategy](index=7&type=section&id=Our%20Strategy) The company's strategy centers on advancing its proprietary triple combination therapy for CF patients with rare and common mutations through theratyping-guided trials like CHOICES and MORE, while also expanding research capabilities and pursuing external collaborations - Develop a proprietary triple combination therapy (posenacaftor, dirocaftor, nesolicaftor) for patients with rare CFTR mutations, using an ex vivo organoid study (theratyping) to select patients for the **CHOICES clinical trial**[30](index=30&type=chunk) - Continue developing the triple combination for patients with the common F508del homozygous mutation, with plans for a pivotal study named the **MORE trial**[30](index=30&type=chunk) - Expand internal capabilities by establishing biobanks of patient-derived cells in Europe for CF and other rare diseases to aid in drug discovery[31](index=31&type=chunk) - Pursue additional collaborative partnerships, like the existing one with Genentech, to develop and commercialize novel compounds in areas outside of CF[33](index=33&type=chunk) [Industry Overview—Cystic Fibrosis](index=8&type=section&id=Industry%20Overview%E2%80%94Cystic%20Fibrosis) Cystic Fibrosis is a rare genetic disease caused by CFTR gene mutations, leading to thick mucus buildup, with current treatments focusing on CFTR modulators and emerging theratyping approaches using patient-derived organoids CF Patient Population by Region | | Number of Patients in | % of Patients | % of Patients | % of Patients | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | National CF Registries | Homozygous for F508del | Heterozygous for F508del | without F508del | | United States | 30,755 | 44% | 41% | 15% | | Canada | 4,370 | 47% | 41% | 12% | | Europe (35 countries) | 48,204 | 40% | 41% | 19% | | Australia | 3,151 | 48% | 37% | 15% | -

Patient-derived organoid assays are an emerging ex vivo method to measure CFTR protein activity and predict in vivo therapeutic response, supporting a **'theratyping'** approach to treatment[55](index=55&type=chunk)[56](index=56&type=chunk) [Our Solution](index=12&type=section&id=Our%20Solution) The company is developing a proprietary triple combination therapy for CF patients, combining a corrector, potentiator, and a novel amplifier designed to enhance CFTR protein activity and improve clinical outcomes - The company's solution is a proprietary triple combination therapy featuring three classes of CFTR modulators: **posenacaftor** (corrector), **dirocaftor** (potentiator), and **nesolicaftor** (amplifier)[58](index=58&type=chunk) - Amplifiers, a novel class of modulator, selectively increase the amount of newly synthesized CFTR protein, providing additional substrate for correctors and potentiators to enhance overall CFTR activity[58](index=58&type=chunk)[60](index=60&type=chunk) [Our Product Candidates](index=13&type=section&id=Our%20Product%20Candidates) The company's lead Phase 3-ready triple combination therapy for CF demonstrated an 8-percentage-point ppFEV1 improvement in Phase 2, and is advancing for rare mutations via the CHOICES trial, supported by multiple favorable regulatory designations Phase 2 Triple Combination Trial Results (F508del Homozygous) | Metric | Result | Significance | Source Chunk | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **ppFEV1 Improvement** | 8 percentage points over placebo | p ≤ 0.01 | 65, 70, 79 | | **Sweat Chloride Reduction** | -29 mmol/L vs. placebo | p < 0.0005 | 26, 80 | -
