On December 5, 2017, Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. announced the
initiation of patient enrollment in the ADVANCE Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ADVM-043 in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency. The ADVANCE clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and protein expression
following a single administration of ADVM-043, Adverums gene therapy candidate.
The ADVANCE Phase 1/2 clinical trial is a
multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation study of ADVM-043 in patients with A1AT deficiency. The study will include up to 20 patients across up to four dosing cohorts of up to 5 patients each. The first cohort will receive an intravenous low dose
of ADVM-043 of 8E13 total vg (equivalent to approximately 1E12 vg/kg based on an 80-kg patient). The next two cohorts will receive an intermediate intravenous dose or high intravenous dose, with the fourth cohort potentially evaluating intrapleural
delivery of ADVM-043.
The study will be conducted at 5 leading centers in the United States. The primary endpoint is safety and
tolerability and secondary endpoints include changes in plasma concentrations of both total and M-specific A1AT levels. Adverum expects to report preliminary data from this trial in the second half of 2018.
Additional information about this clinical trial can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov under trial identifier number NCT02168686.

studies or in the manufacturing of products to be used in such clinical studies, the risk that Adverum will not be able to successfully develop or commercialize any of its product candidates and the risk that Adverum will be delayed in receiving or
