Passage Bio Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides Recent Business Highlights

Dosed first patient in Cohort 2 and completed dosing of Cohort 3 in Imagine-1 clinical trial for GM1 gangliosidosis; interim safety and biomarker data for both cohorts expected in 2H22
Dosed first patient in Cohort 1 in GALax-C clinical trial in infantile Krabbe disease; interim safety and biomarker data expected by year-end 2022
Submitted IND for Phase 1/2 clinical program of PBML04 for metachromatic leukodystrophy
Completed strategic prioritization to extend cash runway into 2Q24
Management to host conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET

Philadelphia, PA May 16, 2022 Passage Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PASG), a clinical-stage genetic medicines company focused on developing transformative therapies for central nervous system disorders, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and provided recent business highlights.

“We remain focused on execution across our ongoing clinical programs and are excited to have dosed additional patients in our Imagine-1 trial for GM1 gangliosidosis as well as the first patient in our GALax-C trial for infantile Krabbe disease,” said Bruce Goldsmith, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Passage Bio. “We look forward to reporting data as these programs advance throughout 2022, including additional clinical and biomarker data from Cohort 1 in Imagine-1 at the ASGCT conference this week. We continue to open additional clinical sites for our FTD program and expect to dose the first patient in mid-2022.”

“We are thrilled to have recently submitted an IND for PBML04 in metachromatic leukodystrophy, our third rare, pediatric, lysosomal storage disorder program,” Dr. Goldsmith added. “We also recently completed prioritization of our additional pipeline programs as part of our strategic initiatives to extend our cash runway into the second quarter of 2024 and look forward to continuing to advance our programs in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington’s Disease and our ongoing exploratory research programs in Alzheimer’s Disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. Rights to our programs for Canavan disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2A and Parkinson’s disease have been returned to the University of Pennsylvania allowing for the future development of these programs. We remain deeply committed to our mission of developing transformative therapies for people with devastating CNS disorders.”

Recent Highlights

Dosed first patient in Cohort 2 (late infantile, high dose) and completed dosing of Cohort 3 (early infantile, low dose) of the Imagine-1 clinical trial: Initial safety and biomarker data are expected from both cohorts in the second half of 2022. The company plans to share additional clinical data from Cohort 1 during an oral presentation at the ASGCT conference on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.
Dosed first patient in Cohort 1 of the GALax-C clinical trial in March: Initial safety and biomarker data are expected by year-end 2022.


Preclinical data supporting ongoing clinical study of PBKR03 in Krabbe disease published in Human Gene Therapy: The company announced the publication of the robust pre-clinical studies that supported clinical study initiation for PBKR03. In the paper, Juliette Hordeaux, D.V.M., Ph.D., D.E.C.V.P., and colleagues from University of Pennsylvanias Gene Therapy Program (GTP), report marked improvements in both disease progression and key biomarkers in large and small animal models of Krabbe disease following a single administration of PBKR03, with no observed dose-limiting toxicities.
Submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Phase 1/2 clinical program for PBML04: An IND has been submitted for PBML04 in metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare, pediatric, lysosomal storage disorder. PBML04 utilizes the same next-generation proprietary capsid as PBGM01 and PBKR03 to deliver, through intra-cisterna magna (ICM) administration, a functional ARSA gene into the CSF. Preclinical data supporting the planned clinical development of PBML04 will be presented by GTP colleagues at the ASGCT conference on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.
Completed strategic prioritization to reduce operating expenses and extend cash runway into the second quarter of 2024: In March, the company announced a 13 percent reduction in workforce and plans to prioritize research and development programs to reduce operating expenses. The company has completed its prioritization and will continue to advance its ongoing three clinical programs as well as its preclinical programs in metachromatic leukodystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntingtons disease and its exploratory research programs in Alzheimers disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. The company has returned its rights to programs in Canavan disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2A and Parkinsons disease to the University of Pennsylvania allowing for the future development of these programs. The company continues to hold 8 additional license options.

Anticipated Upcoming Milestones

Multiple presentations and posters at the ASGCT 25th Annual Meeting taking place May 16-19, 2022, including additional clinical and biomarker data from Cohort 1 of Imagine-1 and preclinical data supporting PBML04.
Present interim safety and biomarker data for Cohorts 2 (late infantile, high dose) and 3 (early infantile, low dose) for Imagine-1 clinical trial for GM1 in the second half of 2022.
Dose first patient in Phase 1/2 study with PBFT02 for FTD-GRN in mid-2022. Additional clinical data milestone timing to be provided following dosing of first patient.
Present interim safety and biomarker data for Cohort 1 for GALax-C Phase 1/2 clinical trial for Krabbe disease by year-end 2022.

PBFT02Frontotemporal Dementia —GRN

21 FTD-GRN: A Devastating Adult DiseaseDEVASTATING FORM OF DEMENTIA caused by a GRNgene mutation resulting in progranulin (PGRN) deficiency. Approximately 5–10% of FTD is caused by a GRNmutation.Disease progression is rapid and degenerative including loss of speech, loss of expression, severe behavioral changes and immobility. RARE AND UNDERSERVEDpopulations with estimated U.S. prevalence of ~3,000 to 6,000 patients.No disease-modifying therapies are presently approved.
