11 Differentiation versus other medicines in RA ADACTA in context what is biologic monotherapy? RA prevalence Diagnosed patient Treated by rheumatologist DMARD(s) + non-dmard therapy Cycling and DMARD combinations (no biologic) RA biologics market (after patients become DMARD-IR) Biologic combination therapy biologic use with a DMARD Biologic monotherapy biologic use without a DMARD Source: Roche analysis 11

12 Demonstrating differentiation in RA Monotherapy is a substantial portion of biologic treatment today Approximately 30% of RA biologics patients are on monotherapy 70% 30% Biologic monotherapy Biologic combination Monotherapy segment has fewer labeled medicines compared to combination segment ACTEMRA Enbrel Humira Cimzia Remicade Simponi MabThera Orencia Indicated in monotherapy * 12 Source: Multiple registries on monotherapy (see Prof. Emery presentation); Roche analysis of EU/US labels, *monotherapy label in US only 12

13 % Physicians Demonstrating differentiation in RA Actemra is already perceived as being different EU physician perception research conducted Q Physicians were asked to evaluate biologic medicine appropriateness for use with monotherapy patients Please rate each biologic on how appropriate you consider it to be for biologic monotherapy on a scale from Increasing recognition of Actemra s strength in monotherapy even before ADACTA was published % physicians = check top 3 boxes for the product 13

23 Key inclusion criteria RA duration of 6 months Previous/current MTX* treatment; either MTX-intolerant or continued treatment is considered inappropriate No prior treatment with a biologic agent All DMARDs** withdrawn 2 weeks prior to baseline Disease Activity Score DAS28 >5.1 at baseline *MTX methotrexate **DMARDs disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs 23

24 Study endpoints Primary endpoint Change in DAS28* from baseline to week 24 Key secondary and exploratory endpoints Efficacy at week 24: proportions of patients achieving: DAS28 remission (<2.6) and low disease activity ( 3.2) ACR20/50/70** responses ACR/EULAR (Boolean) remission Safety: Adverse events and laboratory parameters Post-hoc analyses Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) responses * DAS28 Disease Activity Score (DAS)28, combined index that measures disease activity in patients with RA. It combines information from 28 tender and swollen joints (range0-28), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and a general health assessment on a visual analog scale. The level of disease activity is interpreted as low (DAS28 3.2), moderate (3.2<DAS28 5.1) or high (DAS28>5.1). DAS28<2.6 corresponds to being in remission according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology. **ACR20, ACR50, ACR70 represent the percentage of reduction (20%, 50%, 70%) in certain RA symptoms and measures the number of tender and swollen joints, pain, patient s and physician s global assessments and certain laboratory markers. 24

37 Conclusions Efficacy Tocilizumab (TCZ) monotherapy was superior to adalimumab (ADA) monotherapy in reducing signs and symptoms of RA Safety The overall adverse event profile was comparable between the two treatment arms The safety observed in the TCZ arm of this study is consistent with the known safety profile of TCZ and no new or unexpected adverse events were observed 37
