`
`- Data Presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American
`
`Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) -
`
`ORLANDO, Fla, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/--ViroPharma Incorporated
`
`(NASDAQ: VPHM) and Halozyme Therapeutics (Nasdaq: HALO) today announced
`
`the presentation of positive data from ViroPharma‘s Phase 2 subcutaneous trial of
`
`Cinryze® (C1 esterase inhibitor [human]) in combination with Halozyme's
`
`EnhanzeTM technology, a proprietary drug delivery platform using Halozyme's
`recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPHZO), in patients with hereditary
`
`angioedema (HAE), a rare, debilitating and potentially fatal genetic disease. The
`
`presentation occurred as part of the late—breaker session at the 2012 annual
`
`meeting of the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & immunology (AAAAI), held
`
`March 2 to 6, 201 Z in Orlando, Fla. According to the presenters, these data
`
`demonstrate that subcutaneous co—administration of Cinryze with rHuPHZO was
`
`easy to administer, well tolerated and resulted in sustained physiologically relevant
`C1 INH functional concentrations. The presenters concluded that this innovative

`
`combination administered subcutaneously as a single injection will be further
`
`evaluated for the prevention of HAE attacks.
`
`Cinryze is approved in the United States as intravenous (IV) administration for
`
`routine prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in adolescent and adult patients
`
`with HAE, and in Europe for routine prevention, pre-procedure prevention and
`
`acute treatment of angioedema attacks in adolescent and adult patients with HAE.
`
`ln poster #5208 entitled, ‘Safety, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics
`
`(PD) of Subcutaneous (SC) Cinryze® (Ci inhibitor(Cl lNH) with Recombinant
`
`Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPHZO) in Subjects with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE),'
`
`Jennifer Schranz, l\/l.D., ViroPharma's vice president of clinical research, and
`
`colleagues discussed key study results.
`
`Cinryze with rHuPHZO was well tolerated with no serious adverse events (SAEs),
`
`and no adverse events (AEs) led to study drug discontinuation:
`
`- No subjects experienced an HAE attack during the study;
`
`' Mild to moderate injection site reactions were the most frequently reported
`AEs.
`
`Cinryze with rHuPH20 delivered physiologically relevant Cl lNH functional
`concentrations
`
`- Cinryze 2000U with rHuPH20 resulted in mean C1 lNH functional
`
`concentrations greater than or equal to 0.4U/mL for 92 percent of the 72 hour
`
`post dosing period as compared to 73 percent for 1000U lV.
`
`Addition of rl—luPHZO to Cinryze 2000U resulted in a statistically significant
`
`increase in bioavailability of Cl
`
`lNH antigen relative to Cinryze 2000U alone;
`
`The addition of rHuPHZO to Cinryze resulted in a dose proportional increase of
`
`C1 lNH function for Cmax, Cavg, and AUCtauover the 1000 to ZOOOU dose range;
`
`No C’l
`
`lNH antibodies were detected during the 30 day post treatment follow up
`
`after the last dose of Cinryze.
`
`”Cinryze administered intravenously has been shown to be a safe and effective
`
`option in the management of HAE,” said Drv Schranz. ”But HAE is not a disease for
`
`which there is a 'one size fits all' therapy; there are still unmet medical needs for
`
`novel therapeutic options to help patients manage their disease in a manner that
`
`best suits their lives. ViroPharma is developing subcutaneous delivery of Cinryze in
`
`combination with rHuPH20 to provide patients with broader options to help
`
`control their disease. The results of this study support further clinical

`
`development of the combination, and move us closer to potentially enabling
`prevention-minded patients living with HAE to self administer the drug
`subcutaneously with a single injection per dose."
`
`Halozyme‘s Enhanze'l‘M technology, a proprietary drug delivery platform using
`recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPHZO) facilitates the absorption
`and dispersion of drugs or fluids that are injected under the skin. Recombinant
`HuPHZO transiently generates channels in subcutaneous tissues to increase the
`absorption and spread of injected drugs.
`
`About the Study
`This open—label, multiple—dose Phase 2 study was conducted in 12 subjects with
`HAE who previously participated in the ViroPharma trial evaluating the
`pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous injections of Cinryze when given alone relative
`to intravenous infusion. Qualified subjects participated in a single i8—day study
`period, followed by a 30-day post—treatment follow-up. A iOOOU or ZOOOU dose of
`Cinryze in combination with rHuPHZO was administered as a single subcutaneous
`injection, twice weekly, allowing within-subject comparison across the different
`methods of administration. Plasma Ci
`lNH functional activity was assessed by
`chromogenic assay and plasma Ci inhibitor antigenic concentration and C4
`complement levels were assessed by ELlSA.
`
`Additional information about this subcutaneous Cinryze clinical trial can be found
`
`at clinicaltrialsgov.
`
`About Cinryze® (Ci esterase inhibitor [human])
`Cinryze is a highly purified, pasteurized and nanofiltered plasma—derived Ci
`esterase inhibitor product.
`in the U.S., Cinryze is approved by the FDA for routine
`prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in adolescent and adult patients with
`HAE.
`in the EU, the product is approved by the EMA for the treatment and pre—
`procedure prevention of angioedema attacks in adults and adolescents with
`hereditary angioedema (HAE), and routine prevention of angioedema attacks in
`adults and adolescents with severe and recurrent attacks of hereditary
`angioedema (HAE), who are intolerant to or insufficiently protected by oral
`prevention treatments or patients who are inadequately managed with repeated
`acute treatment. Cinryze is for intravenous use only.
`
`Severe hypersensitivity reactions to Cinryze may occur. Thrombotic events have
`occurred in patients receiving Cinryze, and in patients receiving off-label high dose
`Ci inhibitor therapy. Monitor patients with known risk factors for thrombotic
`events. With any blood or plasma derived product, there may be a risk of
`transmission of infectious agents, e.g. viruses and, theoretically, the QB agent. The
`risk has been reduced by screening donors for prior exposure to certain virus

`
`infections and by manufacturing steps to reduce the risk of viral transmission
`
`including pasteurization and nanofiltration.
`
`The most common adverse reactions in clinical trials associated with Cinryze were
`
`rash, headache, nausea, erythema, phlebitis and local reactions at the injection
`
`site. Adverse events of sinusitis and upper respiratory infection also were
`
`observed in clinical trials. No drug—related serious adverse events (SAEs) were
`
`reported in clinical trials.

`
`About EnhanzeTM Technology
`
`Enhanze‘l‘M technology is a proprietary drug delivery platform using Halozyme's
`
`first approved enzyme, recombinant human hyaluronidase or rHuPHZO. When
`
`formulated with other injectable drugs, Enhanze technology can facilitate the
`subcutaneous dispersion and absorption of these drugs. Molecules as large as 200
`nanometers may pass freely through the extracellular matrix, which recovers its
`
`normal density within approximately 24 hours, leading to a drug delivery platform
`
`which does not permanently alter the architecture of the skin. The principal focus
`
`of Halozyme's Enhanze technology platform is the use of rHuPHZO to facilitate
`
`subcutaneous administration for large molecule biological therapeutics, some of
`
`which currently require intravenous administration.
`
`About Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
`
`HAE is a rare, severely debilitating, life—threatening genetic disorder caused by a
`
`deficiency of CI inhibitor, a human plasma protein. This condition is the result ofa
`
`defect in the gene controlling the synthesis of Cl inhibitor. CI inhibitor maintains
`
`the natural regulation of the contact, complement, and fibrinolytic systems, that
`
`when left unregulated, can initiate or perpetuate an attack by consuming the
`
`already low levels of endogenous Ci inhibitor in HAE patients. Patients with Cl
`
`inhibitor deficiency experience recurrent, unpredictable, debilitating, and
`
`potentially life threatening attacks of inflammation affecting the larynx, abdomen,
`
`face, extremities and urogenital tract. Patients with HAE experience approximately
`
`20 to 100 days of incapacitation per year. There are estimated to be at least 6,500
`
`people with HAE in the United States and at least 10,000 people in the European
`Union.

`
`for CT Inhibitor Deficiencies) website at www.haei.org and the US. HAE
