Opportunity for Cell Therapy in Ischemic Stroke
Ischemic stroke represents a major unmet need – and a high priority
for healthcare systems in U.S., EU and Japan and other regions
Leading cause of serious disability and
third leading cause of mortality globally
Ischemic Stroke
Example:
Damaged area
Clot or plaque
Annually ~800,000 first time stroke
victims in U.S., >2.2 Million (U.S. + EU +
Japan), and 16.9 M globally
Tremendous unmet need: tPA must be
administered within 3 – 4.5 hours of
ischemic stroke & thrombectomy within
6 hrs (combined, currently used on <10%
of ischemic stroke patients)
With an expanding aging population
globally (and increasing obesity in U.S.),
the clinical need and commercial
opportunity are expected to increase
dramatically in years ahead
10
Intravenous MultiStem for Stroke: How it works
Ischemic
Stroke
MultiStem works through regulation of multiple factors and
pathways important to brain recovery following stroke
(i.e. downregulates neuroinflammation & upregulates repair)
(1) Following a stroke a hyperinflammatory response is
initiated resulting in exacerbation of tissue loss & scarring
in brain (preventing recovery) – much of this response
emanates from the spleen (a key immune organ)
(2) Intravenous
administration of
MultiStem
(3) Cells migrate to spleen and peripheral
immune system, and to lesser extent, the brain
and other locations
(4) Simultaneous downregulation of inflammatory
cascade and upregulation of reparative immune
response & other repair mechanisms
11
Following a stroke major inflammatory damage
in the brain occurs (originating from the spleen)
In preclinical models of ischemic stroke, removing the spleen before a surgically induced stroke significantly reduces
the hyperinflammatory damage that occurs in the brain - but creates permanent immunological impairment.

Summary Interim Safety Results
Favorable tolerability and safety profile through evaluation date,
evaluated through at least 90 days for all patients
– No infusional or allergic reactions, and no abnormal patterns in safety labs or
vital signs
– Adverse events consistent with expectations and experience for stroke
patients of this type
Lower mortality observed for MultiStem-treated vs Placebo
treated patients
‒ Through day 30 assessment = 4 deaths for placebo group vs. 1 death for
MultiStem group
‒ Total cumulative = 9 deaths for placebo group vs. 4 deaths for MultiStem
group
Lower rate of life threatening adverse events and death
Lower rates of pulmonary events and infections among
MultiStem treated patients vs. placebo treated patients
16
Key Midstream Modifications to B01-02 Protocol
In accordance with the original B01-02 study protocol, patients were initially
treated 24 – 36 hours post stroke
– First 24 hours post stroke used to identify and exclude patients experiencing meaningful
spontaneous recovery (e.g. due to a TIA or small focal stroke) or treatment related
improvement
– Trial focus was on patients with significant and durable deficits
Consistent with the longstanding clinical maxim that “time is brain”,
preclinical data showed that earlier intervention is more effective than later
intervention (i.e. treatment at one day post stroke is more effective than
two days, several days or a week post stroke)
However…limited hours of operations at Bone Marrow transplant cell
processing centers (typically open M – F from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM) meant we
were missing a huge proportion of patients eligible for the trial
To overcome this, we extended treatment window from 36 hours to 48
hours post stroke
Note: This will not be a limitation for future studies

Summary Interim Efficacy Results (All subjects)
For all subjects, initial review suggested no statistically significant
difference in primary endpoint (Global Statistic) or key secondary
endpoints
However…promising signs of benefit in multiple clinically relevant
indicators, including higher proportion of MultiStem treated
patients achieving Excellent Outcome or Excellent/Good Recovery
at day 90 (i.e. requiring improvement in all three clinical rating scales)
‒ Excellent Outcome: MultiStem = 15.4% vs placebo = 6.6%
∆8.8%
‒ Excellent or Good Recovery: MultiStem = 30.8% vs placebo 24.6%
∆6.2%
‒ Excellent neurological outcome: MultiStem = 38.5% vs Placebo = 29.5% ∆9.0%
‒ Shorter hospitalization: MultiStem = 7.9 days vs placebo 9.8 days
∆(18.6%)
‒ Evidence of faster recovery in MultiStem treated patients
Significantly reduced rates of circulating immune cells (CD3+ T cells)
at day 2 post treatment in MultiStem vs. placebo-treated patients
(p = 0.001) – consistent w/ key aspect of therapeutic hypothesis

Summary of Phase 2 Stroke Trial Results
Administration of IV MultiStem is safe and well tolerated in patients that have suffered
ischemic stroke
‒
Encouraging and consistent signs of efficacy in multiple parameters
Similar to early tPA trials and other studies, evidence that early administration provides a
robust therapeutic benefit
‒
Potential to meaningfully extend the clinical treatment window up to ~36 hours (vs current window of 3 – 4.5
hours for tPA, 6 hours for Mechanical reperfusion)
‒
Supported by preclinical studies suggesting earlier administration more effective than later administration
(within range of 1 to 2 days)
‒
Consistent with benefit of early intervention using other forms of treatment
When evaluating all trial subjects statistically significant benefit observed at one year for
Excellent Outcomes in MultiStem treated patients vs subjects receiving placebo
‒ Outstanding improvements also seen in key parameters of independent living (e.g. excellent Barthel
Index outcomes)
‒ Rates of improvement even higher among patients receiving treatment with MultiStem within 36
hours
Biomarker analysis provides direct mechanistic support (e.g. impact on circulating
immune cells, inflammatory cytokines)
Current focus is on initiating next phase of clinical development in Japan and in North
America and European Union
25
Overview of Stroke in Japan
Stroke represents a huge healthcare challenge in Japan
 Stroke is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease
in Japan  Leading cause of serious disability
o Current annual incidence of first time ischemic
strokes in Japan is ~250k - 340k cases per year
(Govt estimates, Datamonitor)
o Most susceptible segment of population is increasing
in size due to major demographic shift: Population
cohort over age 65 will double over ~20 years
o Population cohort over age 80 will increase from 6%
of population to more than 14%
 Successful engagement related to advancing
MultiStem stroke clinical program in Japan
o PMDA has accepted CTN for confirmatory trial
(September, 2016)
o High degree of clinical investigator enthusiasm
 Once approved: Efficient reimbursement pathway
o Highly centralized process, defined & efficient path
o Applies universally to all payer groups in Japan

Significance of Special Protocol
Assessment (SPA)
Represents a Major De-risking Event
– SPA = Written agreement between FDA and sponsor specifying precise
criteria for approval
– Establishes a clear, efficient path to success - no uncertainty about
acceptability to FDA (Primary endpoint, key secondary endpoints,
operational and statistical approach clearly specified and agreed to)
Key Elements of Trial
‒ 300 patient study to be conducted in the U.S., EU (and UK), Canada
‒ Administration within 18 – 36 hours, straightforward two arm trial (1:1)
‒ Uses established regulatory benchmarks (Primary = mRS shift at 90 days,
Key secondary endpoints = Excellent Outcome at 90 days, one year)
Provides clarity for investors, potential partners
‒ Success in this pivotal study provides potential basis for approval
‒ Historically two very large pivotal studies would typically be required
(e.g. where significant safety issues may exist and/or modest efficacy signal)

Phase 2 Clinical Trial in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Patient recruitment ongoing
– Initial focus is on key sites in the United States
– Also evaluating potential international sites
Trial is focused on most common type of myocardial infarction
(NSTEMI)
– STEMI incidence has been declining in recent years
– NSTEMI incidence has been relatively stable, but expected to increase further with
aging demographics and other factors (i.e. increased rates of obesity, diabetes)
– NSTEMI results in higher short term mortality (e.g. 30 day) and 1 year mortality
(~25% mortality at one year) compared to STEMI (~12% mortality at one year)
Clinical assessment
– Primary efficacy: myocardial perfusion as determined by MRI at 4 months
– Also evaluating MACE and QOL assessment (e.g. EQ5D)
– Evaluating improvement in multiple cardiovascular performance parameters
(including LVEF, LV dimensions)
36
Pulmonary
Disease
37
Opportunity in Pulmonary Medicine
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) afflicts >200,000 individuals in
North America, >275,000 in EU and >70,000 people in Japan annually
– ARDS represents a major area of unmet medical need, with a high rate of mortality and high
level of morbidity, and typically requires extended intensive care hospitalization (e.g. ICU)
– Very high cost of care and QOL impact  Another multibillion $ market opportunity
Athersys and collaborators have evaluated potential of MultiStem in
pulmonary area  Exploratory clinical trial has been initiated
£2 Million in funding obtained for clinical development in U.K. (w/ additional
funding from NIH)
MultiStem conveys multiple mechanisms relevant to acute pulmonary
inflammatory damage
– Product naturally distributes to pulmonary system
– Downregulation of acute inflammatory pathways
– Upregulation of reparative cell types and pathways
Clinical assessment
– Evaluating functional improvements as well as impact on
morbidity and mortality
– Also evaluating QOL and other parameters
38
MultiStem reduces inflammation in human
lungs with ischemic reperfusion injury
39
