rhu. MAb CD 18 Antibody fragment [F(ab’)2] â Single dose administered as IV bolus â Plasma half-life 7 to 10 hours â 90% CD 18 -containing receptor saturation maintained for ~ 24 hours (0. 5 mg/kg) and ~ 48 hours (2. 0 mg/kg) â Baran KW August 28, 2000
The LIMIT AMI Trial of rhu. MAb CD 18 Screening • ST elevation > 2 leads • Symptoms < 12 hrs • No prior coronary surgery • No cardiogenic shock • No thrombolytic exclusions • No major immune-related risks
The LIMIT AMI Trial of rhu. MAb CD 18 Screening • ST elevation > 2 leads • Symptoms < 12 hrs • No prior coronary surgery • No cardiogenic shock • No thrombolytic exclusions • No major immune-related risks Randomization 1: 1: 1 with administration prior to full-dose t. PA 2 mg/kg 0. 5 mg/kg Placebo + usual care including aspirin, IV heparin
The LIMIT AMI Trial of rhu. MAb CD 18 Screening • ST elevation > 2 leads • Symptoms < 12 hrs • No prior coronary surgery • No cardiogenic shock • No thrombolytic exclusions • No major immune-related risks Randomization 1: 1: 1 to study drug or placebo then full-dose t. PA 2 mg/kg 0. 5 mg/kg Placebo + usual care including aspirin, IV heparin Coronary angiography 90 minutes from t. PA initiation • Corrected TIMI Frame Count, TIMI Flow Grade • TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade • Angioplasty ± Gp IIb/IIIa inhibitors as required
The LIMIT AMI Trial of rhu. MAb CD 18 Other endpoints • Infarct size • sestamibi at rest, day 6 -9 • CKMB 0 -72 hours • ECG ST segment resolution • 180 minutes • Fever • Antibiotic use • General Safety
Statistical Analysis 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Efficacy endpoint data analyzed by independent and blinded Core Laboratories Time windows were used for efficacy endpoints using imputation for missing data where possible “As treated” analysis of the evaluable cohort Sensitivity analyses p values: non parametric tests Baran KW August 28, 2000
Results â â Enrollment from September 1998 to March 2000 413 subjects randomized 394 treated with rhu. MAb CD 18 or placebo 19 randomized but not treated Ý mainly due to review of exclusion criteria â 60 centers in US and Canada Baran KW August 28, 2000

Clinical outcomes at Day 30 * Adverse Event report, complications CRF, or readmission diagnosis ** CHF Killip III or IV, or CHF readmission, or CHF Adverse Event (serious or severe or cardiogenic shock) *** Death, CHF or recurrent AMI Baran KW August 28, 2000
Safety - fever and antibiotic use N=134 N=129 N=131 Baran KW August 28, 2000
Safety - Likely bacterial infections 95% CI N=134 N=129 N=131 Baran KW August 28, 2000
General Safety 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. No effect on fibrinogen or d-dimer levels No increase in “serious and life-threatening bleeding” Slight trend towards increases in overall bleeding adverse events ( 10%) and transfusions ( 20%) Small number of mild thrombocytopenia cases < 100, 000/mm 3: placebo 2 cases, 0. 5 mg/kg 1 case, 2. 0 mg/kg 5 cases No specific anti-rhu. MAb CD 18 antibody formation* * Except for one 30 Day sample with possible low level anti-CDR activity still under investigation. Baran KW August 28, 2000
Conclusions â rhu. MAb CD 18, in conjunction with thrombolysis, had no effect on coronary flow, infarct size or ECG ST segment resolution â These results are consistent with the findings of another Phase II study of an anti-CD 18 antibody in Primary Angioplasty on infarct size (HALT MI*) â There may be non CD 18 - dependent leukocyte binding and transmigration in AMI â Leukocytes may not be key to ischemiareperfusion injury in human AMI * Faxon D, Annual Meeting of the American Heart Association, Atlanta, November 1999 Baran KW August 28, 2000
