Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Okay. So the year-end data that we are expecting, even the highest dose of cohort 2, do you have them been followed at least three months? Is
that correct?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: I see. And then in terms of looking at the PD biomarker, the cleaved high-molecular kininogen, you speaking about 50% reduction in in-vitro assay
similar to Takhzyro. Why not more than 50%? Why is it stopping at 50%?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: I see. So Takhzyro, when you look at their data, the number of attacks monthly is reduced by close to 80%, but all attack-free rate is above 40%. Do
you think it's because they can now bring it down to cleave the high-molecular kininogen down to like a [0%]?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: I see. So we got to see the data but with the three different dosing regimen, do you expect to see those response?

Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Okay. In this in-vitro study, obviously, it's more artificial. But can you resume major plasma kallikrein activity after the dose?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: No, but this is a kind of biomarker, but kallikrein levels (multiple speakers).
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: So the data we are going to see is the functional activity but not the enzyme levels?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Are you planning to measure that in the subsequent trials?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Okay. And then Jill showed the non-human primate data showing the plasma half-life increased by 3.5-fold, compared to Takhzyro. And then you
mentioned that hey, this product you could take potentially every three months or less frequently. So I get the three-months apart, but less
frequently. Where do you get that confidence?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Okay. And then in terms of the market, there are other products in development in HAE, getting a little bit crowded. So particularly the one with
the gene editing, it's very early. How do you think a decent market actually plays out? Because by the time you get to the market, gene editing
probably might be on the market as well; as well as ASO, other monoclonal type of product.
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Yes. So between like a number of monthly attack reduction and attack-free. I mean, I assume that attack-frees are more beneficial clinical endpoints.
And with the Takhzyro, it's about 40% reduction. This may be kind of a stupid question, but can you actually combine C1-inhibitor plus plasma
kallikrein inhibitor together to bring down attack rate further from 40% to 50% range?
Question: Eun Yang - Jefferies & Company - Analyst
: Okay. Thank you very much.
