Overview We are a biopharmaceutical company with a mission of pioneering medicines that transform patients’ lives. We are devoting most of our resources to the research and development of our most advanced drug candidates and the commercialization of our approved drug, INPEFA ® (sotagliflozin): • We are developing sotagliflozin, an orally-delivered small molecule drug candidate, as a treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, and are conducting the SONATA-HCM pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of sotagliflozin in that indication. • We are separately pursuing regulatory approval of ZYNQUISTA ® (sotagliflozin) as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, issued complete response letters regarding our New Drug Application, or NDA, for ZYNQUISTA in type 1 diabetes in March 2019 and December 2024. At our request, the FDA has issued a public Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, or NOOH, on whether there are grounds for denying approval of our NDA and those proceedings are ongoing. The FDA has separately provided feedback that a third-party-funded, investigator-initiated study of sotagliflozin appears to be of adequate design and employs sufficient data collection methods to provide viable evidence of the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, with adequate safety data, prior to its completion, to support review of a resubmission of the NDA. We are preparing to potentially resubmit the NDA for ZYNQUISTA in type 1 diabetes if supported by patient exposure and safety data from such study. • We are developing pilavapadin, an orally-delivered small molecule drug candidate, as a treatment for neuropathic pain. We have completed two Phase 2 clinical trials evaluating the safety and tolerability of pilavapadin and its effects on diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, or DPNP. We have reported results from our PROGRESS Phase 2b clinical trial of pilavapadin in DPNP, which demonstrated clear evidence of effect at the 10 mg dose, and positive results from our RELIEF-DPN-1 Phase 2a clinical trial of pilavapadin in DPNP. We have received Fast Track designation from the FDA for development of pilavapadin in that indication and are currently advancing third party collaboration discussions for its further development and commercialization. • We have developed LX9851, an orally-delivered small molecule drug candidate, as a treatment for obesity and associated cardiometabolic disorders. We have granted Novo Nordisk an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to develop, manufacture and commercialize LX9851 and have completed preclinical development of LX9851 in preparation for the filing of an investigational new drug application, or IND, with the FDA and commencement of clinical development by Novo Nordisk. • We continue to make INPEFA (sotagliflozin) commercially available in the United States. INPEFA is approved to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, and urgent heart failure visits in adults with heart failure or type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, or CKD, and other cardiovascular risk factors. • We are conducting preclinical research and development of compounds from a number of additional drug programs originating from our internal drug discovery efforts. Sotagliflozin, LX9851 and compounds from a number of additional drug programs originated from our own internal drug discovery efforts and pilavapadin originated from our collaborative neuroscience drug discovery efforts with Bristol-Myers Squibb. Our efforts were driven by a systematic, target biology-driven approach in which we used gene knockout technologies and an integrated platform of advanced medical technologies to systematically study the physiological and behavioral functions of almost 5,000 genes in mice and assessed the utility of the proteins encoded by the corresponding human genes as potential drug targets. We have identified and validated in living animals, or in vivo, more than 100 targets with promising profiles for drug discovery. We have worked both independently and through collaborations and strategic alliances with third parties to capitalize on our drug target discoveries and research and development programs.…
