In July 2018, the European Commission approved a label-extension request to the marketing authorization for Translarna in the EEA to include patients from two to up to five years of age. Emflaza is approved in the United States for the treatment of DMD in patients two years and older. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has a pipeline of gene therapy product candidates, including PTC-AADC for the treatment of Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase, or AADC, deficiency, or AADC deficiency. The Company is preparing a biologics license application, or BLA, for PTC-AADC for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the United States, which it anticipates submitting to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in late 2019, with anticipated commercial launch in 2020, subject to approval. The Company is also preparing a marketing authorization application, or MAA, for PTC-AADC for the treatment of AADC deficiency in the European Union, or EU, for submission to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, which will follow its BLA submission to the FDA. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company holds the rights for the commercialization of Tegsedi™ (inotersen) and Waylivra™ (volanesorsen) for the treatment of rare diseases in countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Currently, its collaboration has two pivotal clinical trials ongoing to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of risdiplam (RG7916, RO7034067), the lead compound in the SMA program. Roche is preparing an NDA and a MAA for risdiplam for the treatment of SMA in the United States and the EU, respectively, which Roche anticipates submitting to the FDA in the second half of 2019 and the EMA in the first half of 2020. In addition, the Company has a pipeline of product candidates and discovery programs that are in early clinical, pre-clinical and research and development stages focused on the development of new treatments for multiple therapeutic areas, including rare diseases and oncology.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;padding-top:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company’s marketing authorization for Translarna in the EEA is subject to annual review and renewal by the European Commission following reassessment by the EMA of the benefit-risk balance of the authorization, which the Company refers to as the annual EMA reassessment. This marketing authorization is further subject to the specific obligation to conduct and submit the results of a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 18-month, placebo-controlled trial, followed by an 18-month open-label extension, according to an agreed protocol, in order to confirm the efficacy and safety of Translarna. The final report on the trial and open-label extension is to be submitted by the Company to the EMA by the end of the third quarter of 2022. The Company refers to the trial and open-label extension together as Study 041.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;padding-top:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The marketing authorization in the EEA was last renewed in July 2019 and is effective, unless extended, through August 5, 2020. The renewal was based on the Company’s commitment to conduct Study 041 and the totality of the clinical data available from its trials and studies of Translarna for the treatment of nmDMD, including the safety and efficacy results of the Phase 2b and Phase 3 clinical trials. The primary efficacy endpoint was not achieved in either trial within the pre-specified level of statistical significance. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;padding-top:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2014, the Company initiated reimbursed early access programs, or EAP programs, for Translarna for nmDMD patients in selected territories in the EEA and recorded its first sales of Translarna in the third quarter of 2014 pursuant to an EAP program.

As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, Translarna was available in over </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>40</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> countries on a commercial basis or pursuant to an EAP program.

Concurrently, the Company plans to continue to pursue EAP programs in select countries where those mechanisms exist, both within the EEA and in other countries that will reference the marketing authorization in the EEA.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;padding-top:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Translarna is an investigational new drug in the United States. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company filed a New Drug Application, or NDA, over protest with the FDA, for which the FDA granted a standard review. In October 2017, the Office of Drug Evaluation I of the FDA issued a complete response letter for the NDA, stating that it was unable to approve the application in its current form. In response, the Company filed a formal dispute resolution request with the Office of New Drugs of the FDA. In February 2018, the Office of New Drugs of the FDA denied PTC’s appeal of the Complete Response Letter. In its response, the Office of New Drugs recommended a possible path forward for the ataluren NDA submission based on the accelerated approval pathway. This would involve a re-submission of an NDA containing the current data on effectiveness of ataluren with new data to be generated on dystrophin production in nmDMD patients’ muscles. The Company intends to follow the FDA’s recommendation and will collect, using newer technologies via procedures and methods that the Company designed, such dystrophin data in a new study, Study 045, which the Company initiated in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company expects that a potential re-submission of an NDA could occur in 2020. Additionally, should a re-submission of an NDA receive accelerated approval, the Office of New Drugs stated that Study 041, which is currently enrolling, could serve as the confirmatory post-approval trial required in connection with the accelerated approval framework.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Emflaza was initially approved in the United States for the treatment of DMD in patients five years and older.
