    orphans
  • License and Develop Late-stage Development
    Candidates
  • Provides shorter lower risk development
    pathways
  • Cooperative regulatory climate (FDAMA/BPCA)(1)

Hyperbilirubinemia A Clear and Present Danger
10
Hyperbilirubinemia (HB)
  • Hyperbilirubinemia Jaundice
  • A Widespread Issue
  • 60 of all babies develop jaundice, or
    hyperbilirubinemia
  • Cause is excess bilirubin, a neurotoxin
  • Bilirubin peaks 3-5 days of age, after hospital
    discharge
  • Linked to breast feeding, which is rising in U.S.
  • Moderate cases possible neurological deficits,
    hearing loss, learning disabilities and possibly
    autism and allergies
  • Severe cases Kernicterus (increasing) and
    possibly cerebral palsy
  • The leading cause of hospital re-admission
  • Current treatment, phototherapy (PT), is
    remedial, not preventative in nature


11
Problems with Phototherapy
  • Side Effects
  • Dehydration
  • Hyperthermia (body temperature must be monitored)
  • Eye protection required
  • Watery and frequent stools
  • Deficiencies
  • Does not prevent jaundice, only remediates (slow
    onset)
  • Bilirubin rebound occurs with cessation
  • Requires constant monitoring of patient
    (intensity dependent)
  • Adverse Behavioral effects
  • Isolation from mother
  • Reduced sensory input
  • Reduced ability to breast feed
  • Cost Estimated annual expense 1.7BB

Disorders Linked to Moderate Jaundice
13
Raising Awareness Sentinel Event Alert
Non-Invasive Testing
  • The Joint Commission on Accreditation of
    Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), issued a
    Sentinel Event Alert to all hospitals in 2001
    mandating procedures for the prevention of
    HB/Kernicterus
  • Hospitals risk losing accreditation if they do
    not practice increased diligence regarding HB
  • JCAHO specifies using the Bhutani Nomogram to
    identify infants at risk of HB
  • Non-invasive serum bilirubin determinations
    possible with new Bilichek(5) device
  • Obviates need for blood draw, facilitates use of
    Bhutani Nomogram

Inc. (NasdaqSPRX)
14
Guiding Treatment StrategiesThe Bhutani Nomogram
Use of the Nomogram in the first 2 days can
identify which infants will develop HB and
therefore be candidates for treatment before
hospital discharge
15
Raising Pediatric AwarenessNew AAP Guidelines
  • New AAP Guidelines for management of
    hyperbilirubinemia published July 1, 2004
    (Pediatrics 114(1)).
  • Guidelines require higher level of vigilance by
    health care personnel prior to hospital
    discharge.
  • Exchange transfusions indicated if neurologic
    signs of CNS toxicity noted, even if bilirubin
    level falling.
  • Guidelines state that Stanate when approved
    should be used as alternative treatment.
  • Authors of new AAP Guidelines are members of
    InfaCare Pediatric Advisory Board.

16
Preparing for StanateSummary
  • Jaundice- A Widespread Healthcare Issue
  • JACHO Sentinel Event Alert
  • Establishes the urgency
  • New American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines
  • Establishes clear guidelines to minimize
    incidence of HB
  • Includes Bhutani Nomogram- Helps identify
    patients at risk
  • New Non-Invasive Assays
  • Facilitates easy bilirubin testing nomogram use
  • Address Hyperbilirubinemia Risks
  • Stanate The First-in-Class treatment option

17
Stanate
  • A New Way to Battle Jaundice

18
StanateR(stannsoporfin)
  • First-in-Class Treatment Option
  • Competitive Inhibitor of Heme Oxygenase
  • Enzyme that converts heme into bilirubin
  • Single Intramuscular Dose
  • Rapidly Reduces Bilirubin Levels
  • One Dose Prevents Bilirubin Production at its
    Source for 6-8 days

19
Stanate Phase I II Clinical DataClinical
Superiority to Phototherapy (PT)
  • Frequency distribution of peak bilirubin in
    G-6-PD(6) deficient neonates treated with either
    Stanate or PT

Stanate Clinical Outcome SummaryBattling
Jaundice
21
Stanate Clinical Data SummaryBattling Jaundice
  • 762 Patients Treated
  • Dose ranging, R/PC/DB(9) study (231)
  • Randomized direct comparison to PT (44)
  • Pre-term infants. Dose ranging, R/PC/DB study
    (235)
  • G-6-PD deficient infants R/OL(10) comparison to
    PT (172)
  • Randomized open label (80)
  • Safety
  • Reversible photosensitivity, erythema
  • 5-year follow-up clean
  • Efficacy
  • Noted in all studies with regard to reduction in
    bilirubin and reduced PT
  • Stanate Prevents Hyperbilirubinemia Superior
    to PT

22
Stanate Battling Jaundice
R
  • Hyperbilirubinemia swiftly treated
  • Role of PT Exchange Transfusions greatly
    reduced
  • Kernicterus potentially eliminated
  • Paradigm shift in treatment (prevention vs.
    remediation)
  • Reliance on parent reporting of jaundice reduced
    or eliminated
  • Reduced time in the NICU Well Baby Nursery
    Cost Reduction
  • Avoid potential disorders linked to moderate HB
  • Overall Threat of Jaundice Significantly Reduced

23
InfaCare Pharmaceutical Corporation
  • Mission Statement
  • We will become the industrys leading
    specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the
    unmet needs of neonates and older children by
    acquiring, developing and commercializing
