+Added: You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In addition to historical financial information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and beliefs.
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” under Part II, Item 1A below.
−Removed: We are a clinical stage genetic medicines company focused on improving the lives of patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
−Removed: Our primary focus is the development and advancement of cutting-edge, one-time gene therapies designed to target critical underlying pathologies in these conditions.
−Removed: We believe we have developed a differentiated approach to developing treatments for central nervous system, or CNS, disorders that allows us to select and advance product candidates with a higher probability of technical and regulatory success.
−Removed: Our lead clinical product candidate, PBFT02, seeks to elevate progranulin levels to enhance lysosomal function and slow disease progression across a variety of neurodegenerative diseases.
−Removed: PBFT02 is a gene replacement therapy that utilizes an adeno-associated virus serotype 1, or AAV1, capsid to deliver a functional granulin gene, or GRN , encoding progranulin, or PGRN, to the brain via intra cisterna magna, or ICM, administration.
−Removed: The lead indication for PBFT02 is frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, caused by progranulin deficiency, or FTD- GRN .
−Removed: We believe this clinical product candidate has the potential to provide patients with significantly improved outcomes given the rigorous capsid and transgene selection process, and our chosen route of ICM administration, which provides the potential for enhanced benefits due to widespread vector delivery to the brain and spinal cord and an improved safety profile compared with systemic administration, due to the lower doses required.
−Removed: We are currently studying PBFT02 in FTD- GRN , for which there are currently no approved disease-modifying therapies.
−Removed: In light of the FDA’s recent guidance that a randomized controlled registrational study is required for PBFT02 in FTD- GRN and the associated ethical, logistical, and financial challenges, we are evaluating potential next steps in the clinical development of PBFT02 in FTD- GRN and FTD- C9orf72 .
−Removed: Third-party preclinical studies have shown that increased PGRN levels reduce the pathologic accumulation of TAR DNA binding protein 43, or TDP-43.
−Removed: TDP-43 pathology is a hallmark of multiple neurodegenerative conditions, including FTD due to mutations in the C9orf72 gene, or FTD- C9orf72 , approximately 95% of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, and approximately 50% of sporadic FTD.
−Removed: Additionally, we believe restoration of PGRN has the potential to modulate Alzheimer’s disease, or AD, in patients who are carriers of the PGRN-lowering GRN rs5848 single nucleotide polymorphism, or SNP.
−Removed: Individuals with this polymorphism have reduced PGRN levels and are at an increased risk for AD.
−Removed: We have received positive regulatory feedback on the clinical pathway to treating FTD- C9orf72 patients and ALS patients with PBFT02.
−Removed: We have initiated clinical development of PBFT02 in FTD- C9orf72 patients in the upliFT-D trial for this population.

−Removed: Huntington’s disease, or HD, is an adult-onset, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor, cognitive, and behavioral deterioration, ultimately leading to death within approximately 15 to 20 years after symptom onset.
−Removed: There are currently no disease-modifying therapies approved for the treatment of HD, and we estimate the prevalence of HD in the United States and Europe is approximately 70,000, based on available literature.
−Removed: We are also party to a series of sublicense agreements, as amended, with Gemma in connection with the outlicensing of three pediatric programs we had previously advanced to clinical stage development, collectively the Outlicensed Programs, and such agreements, the Amended Gemma Sublicenses.
−Removed: In addition, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement, as amended, with Gemma.
−Removed: We refer to the Amended Gemma Sublicenses, the Transition Services Agreement, and the Gemma Collaboration Agreement, collectively, as the Outlicense Transaction Agreements.
−Removed: Prior to the execution of the Outlicense Transaction Agreements, we advanced our preclinical programs through our research collaboration with the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania’s, or Penn’s, Gene Therapy Program, or GTP.
−Removed: This collaboration provided access to differentiated scientific expertise for the conduct of rigorous preclinical studies to generate promising product candidates.
−Removed: Gemma is comprised of a core research team from GTP and is continuing the same approach to preclinical development to support the continued development of our preclinical Huntington’s disease program.
−Removed: We have a gene therapy pipeline with the potential to address multiple neurodegenerative diseases.
−Removed: Our development programs consist of:
−Removed: † US/EU prevalence per third-party sources
−Removed: In addition to the indications above, we believe ALS and AD represent future potential pipeline expansion opportunities for PBFT02.

+Added: Supported by findings in preclinical studies, we believed that PBFT02 may provide FTD- GRN patients with significantly improved outcomes.
We selected the AAV1 capsid and ICM administration for PBFT02 because this approach led to extensive and robust vector delivery throughout the brain and spinal cord of non-human primates, or NHPs, and due to the higher PGRN levels in cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, achieved using AAV1 as compared with other serotypes tested.
ICM administration of AAV1 to NHPs resulted in elevated CSF levels of human PGRN when compared with CSF levels in healthy human subjects, and in excess of levels achieved in NHPs with AAVhu68 or AAV5.

There are no disease modifying therapies approved for the treatment of FTD- C9orf72 .
−Removed: We received positive regulatory feedback on the clinical pathway to treating FTD- C9orf72 with PBFT02 in the ongoing upliFT-D trial, and we have planned for Cohorts 4 and 5 of upliFT-D to consist of three to five symptomatic FTD patients with C9orf72 gene mutations who will initially receive Dose 2 PBFT02.

HD is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene, or HTT , in which a CAG trinucleotide repeat tract in the DNA is expanded.
1 unchanged sentence
HTT CAG repeat tracts are unstable and can continue to elongate over time, termed somatic instability.
−Removed: In neurons, CAG expansion occurs at different rates in different cells, and CAG expansion to above a certain threshold leads to neuronal dysfunction and death.
+Added: In neurons, CAG expansion occurs at different rates in different cells, and CAG expansion to above a certain threshold leads
+Added: to neuronal dysfunction and death.
DNA repair proteins such as MSH3 play a key role in driving somatic instability in HD, by erroneously incorporating extra CAG repeats into HTT DNA in certain circumstances.
1 unchanged sentence
Further, published human genetic studies have shown that certain genetic MSH3 variants which reduce somatic instability are associated with delayed disease onset and slowed progression in HD patients.
−Removed: Our approach is to reduce somatic instability and thereby slow neurodegeneration in HD by suppressing MSH3 expression in the brain, via AAV-mediated delivery of a miRNA gene.
