Clinical Development Plan Doripenem 28 Aug 02 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 OVERVIEW Doripenem is a sterile, synthetic, parenteral carbapenem antibiotic. The carbapenems, modified beta-lactam structures, are highly useful due to their potent antibacterial activities with broad antibacterial spectrum and stability against most beta-lactamases. This class of antibiotic has been studied for several decades, and at least one member of the class (imipenem-cilastatin) has been commercially available for over 10 years. Subsequent carbapenems, meropenem and most recently ertapenem, have been introduced into the U.S. marketplace and are commercially available. Ertapenem is not yet available in the European commercial market. The product is manufactured by Shionogi & Co., Ltd., Osaka Japan for Peninsula Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PPI). It is currently in Phase III development by Shionogi in Japan. PPI is developing doripenem for the treatment of serious bacterial infections. The targeted indications are complicated urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis, community-acquired pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, and gynecologic infections. Submission of the NDA for these four indications is estimated to be in [*] with FDA approval within one year of submission, followed by immediate launch of the product into the US market. This document is intended to provide a detailed plan for the clinical development of doripenem. The following information will describe the medical need for doripenem, prior experience with the drug, PPI's clinical development strategy, summaries of planned clinical studies, timelines for completion of development, and costs associated with the program. 1.2 DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES TABLE 1 MEASURES OF SUCCESS MILESTONES

RATIONALE FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 3.1 MEDICAL NEED Pathogens, particularly those in hospitalized patients, are becoming more resistant, creating a need for new, more powerful, broader-spectrum antibiotics. Doripenem may help to fill that need for the following reasons. It has broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative and anaerobic pathogens, thereby providing potential for effective empiric and targeted therapy for frequent and severe hospital and community-acquired infections. It has a lower MIC than other carbapenems against P. aeruginosa. Doripenem also exhibits greater in vitro activity than meropenem against S. pneumoniae and is highly active against H. influenzae and other important gram-negative bacteria. In addition, preclinical data indicate a reduced risk for seizures associated with doripenem compared with other carbapenems. The results of the Japanese Phase 3 clinical studies will provide increased assurance that doripenem, will be safe and effective in US clinical studies. Although Japanese clinical study results are generally not accepted as sufficient evidence of efficacy and safety for a US NDA, an appropriate evaluation of objective endpoints such as [*] offers strong supportive evidence for [*]. In addition, efficacy data from Japan will be supportive of a US NDA, [*]. [*] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. 3. Clinical Development Plan Doripenem 28 Aug 02 In summary, doripenem has demonstrated a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic organisms. It is active against penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae and comparatively more active against P. aeruginosa than other betalactam antibiotics. Preclinical pharmacokinetic studies have shown good tissue distribution and low protein binding, which suggest no impediments to human dosing. Further, toxicology studies found no issues of concern. Thus, all preclinical and clinical information to date suggest that doripenem may be an excellent candidate for further development in the treatment of serious infections caused by organisms resistant to other currently marketed antibiotics. 3.2 COMPLICATED UTI (cUTI) Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most commonly seen bacterial infections in adults. In the US, there are about 8,000,000 visits to physicians per year, mostly for cystitis and >100,000 admissions to hospitals for acute pyelonephritis. Complicated UTIs, frequently due to S. aureus or P. aeruginosa, are linked to functional or anatomical dysfunctions, to instrumentation, catheterization or to recent use of antibiotics. Risk factors for complicated UTI include male gender, elderly age category, previous or actual hospitalization, pregnancy, duration of symptoms >7 days, presence of stones, indwelling catheter, recent instrumentation, anatomical abnormalities, history of UTI in childhood, immunosuppression or recent use of antibiotics. These infections require a prolonged antibiotic treatment to be cured. Acute pyelonephritis is characterized by fever, lumbar pain, nausea, and vomiting. Lower UTI symptoms may be absent. Pyuria and significant bacteriuria (in 20% <105cfu/ml) are always present, blood cultures are positive in 15-20%. fifty percent of acute pyelonephritis is uncomplicated and observed mainly in young women. the other 50% are found mainly in elderly men with prostate hyperplasia with recent or indwelling catheters. patients with acute pyelonephritis should be hospitalized if complicated or severely ill, unstable, immunocompromised, pregnant, or if they are children or men. patients are usually treated for 14-21 days in the absence of major complications. doripenem is likely to present with increased effectiveness in the treatment of complicated uti and pyelonephritis due to its high rate of urinary excretion [*] and its good activity against urinary tract pathogens, especially p. aeruginosa and s. aureus. 3.3 community-acquired pneumonia (cap) community-acquired pneumonia (cap) remains a common and persistent cause of morql2hity and mortality. between 2 and 3 million cases of cap result in approximately 10 million physician visits, 500, 000 hospitalizations, and 45,000 deaths annually in the u.s.(4) mortality ranges from 2% to 30% in hospitalized patients, with an average mortality of 14%, in clinical studies. in contrast, mortality is estimated to be less than 1% in patients who are not hospitalized.(5,6) [*] = certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the securities and exchange commission pursuant to rule 406 of the securities act of 1933, as amended. 4. Clinical Development Plan Doripenem 28 Aug 02 Streptococcus pneumoniae accounts for the majority of cases of pneumonia in patients over 50 years old. Twenty-five percent of S. pneumoniae are nonsusceptible to penicllin. Gram-negative aerobic pneumonia is usually a nosocomial infection. Community-acquired, Gram-negative pneumonia is rare and more likely to occur in patients who have been recently hospitalized or are on steroids or immunosuppressive drugs. However, Klebsiella and P. aeruginosa can occur in the alcoholic or debilitated elderly patient without additional risk factors. These infections are associated with a high mortality. Doripenem may constitute an effective, empiric broad spectrum antibiotic therapy for such infections, [*]. Doripenem is likely to be effective in the treatment of CAP due to its activity against S. pneumoniae, including penicillin-intermediate and penicillin-resistant strains. Further, administration of radiolabeled doripenem to mice and rats has shown substantial and rapid distribution to lung tissue. 3.4 COMPLICATED INTRA-ABDOMINAL INFECTIONS The treatment of intra-abdominal infections and peritonitis is based on sound surgical technique and source control, potent antibiotics with a spectrum that ensures the killing of anaerobic and aerobic pathogens, and adjuvant intensive care treatment. In clinical trials, treatment is generally considered successful if resolution of signs and symptoms of infection is achieved with a single course of antibiotics and if only one operation is required to control the infectious process. Treatment is generally considered a failure in clinical trials if antimicrobial therapy is changed because of lack of response, if additional operations are required to control the local infectious process, or if any adverse reaction occurs requiring a change of antibiotic therapy. The characteristics of clinical failure in antibiotic studies have been disputed for their relevance for daily clinical practice. Regardless of which antibiotics are used initially, change or addition of other antibiotic agents is likely in a large proportion of patients. In clinical practice, changing an antibiotic regimen is not a failure. Re-operation, whether scheduled or dictated by the clinical course, is a success if it results in a living, healthy patient. The rate of treatment success with a single operation and single course of antibiotics may be as low as 48%. Doripenem may prove to be an effective treatment for complicated intra-abdominal infections because of its broad spectrum of activity against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. 3.5 GYNECOLOGIC INFECTIONS There are several types of gynecologic infections of the upper female genital tract, including any combination of endometritis, salpingitis, tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic peritonitis, and post-surgical infections. Sexually transmitted organisms, especially N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis, are implicated in most cases; however, microorganisms that can be part of the vaginal flora (e.g., anaerobes, G. vaginalis, H. influenzae, enteric Gram-negative rods, and Streptococcus agalactiae) also can cause acute pelvic infections in women. Diagnosis of gynecologic infection usually is based on clinical findings. Although the clinical diagnosis of gynecologic infection is often imprecise, treatment should be initiated as soon as the presumptive diagnosis has been made, because prevention of long-term sequelae has been linked directly with immediate administration of appropriate antibiotics. Treatment regimens for gynecologic infections must provide empiric, broadspectrum coverage of likely pathogens. Antimicrobial coverage should include N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, anaerobes, Gram-negative facultative bacteria, and streptococci. Although the need to eradicate anaerobes from women who have gynecologic infection has not been determined definitively, the evidence suggests that this may be important. Anaerobic bacteria have been isolated from the upper-reproductive tract of women who have gynecologic infection, and data from in vitro studies have revealed that anaerobes such as Bacteroides fragilis can cause tubal and epithelial destruction. Doripenem may prove to be an excellent empiric treatment for gynecologic infection because of its activity against Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria.
