I would now like to turn the call over to our President, Founder and CEO, RA Session II. RA?

Thanks, RA. As RA noted, we have made significant recent progress and its launch in our clinical programs for GAN and Rett syndrome and expect exciting milestones throughout the remainder of the year. I will begin with Rett syndrome. TSHA-102 is a transgene for MECP2, which is a protein essential for neuronal development and function. The challenge in gene replacement therapy of MECP2 is finding the appropriate balance of sufficient physiological expression to correct the deficiency, whilst also avoiding overexpression and the associated toxicity. To do this, TSHA-102 regulates the expression of MECP2 using the novel microRNA responsive auto-regulatory elements platform known as miRARE that is exclusively licensed to Taysha and developed by Drs. Sarah Sinnett and Steven Gray of UT Southwestern Medical Center. miRARE provides sophisticated regulation of transgene expression on a cell-by-cell basis ensuring controlled expression that avoids excessive levels of MECP2. We recently initiated clinical development of TSHA-102 under an approved CTA by Health Canada. In further support of this promising program, we presented positive IND CTA enabling preclinical data at the International Rett Syndrome Foundation Scientific Conference and ASCEND Rett Syndrome National Patient Advocacy Summit. These data supported the CTA acceptance, including a pharmacology study in Rett knockout mice, assessing the efficacy of TSHA-102 and a 6-month GLP toxicology study in non-human primates exploring the safety by distribution and mechanism of action of TSHA-102. Collectively, these preclinical results confirm the ability of TSHA-102 to regulate transgene expressions within appropriate physiological levels. This week, we will have a prevalence of the 25th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy, or ASGCT, while we will be presenting the safety and by distribution data in NHPs as well as safety data in rats. These presentations will further support the ability of our miRARE platform to control gene expression and address the challenge of ensuring appropriate levels of microbial expression that have limited effective therapeutic development with other gene replacement strategies. As RA indicated, there are over 350,000 patients estimated to suffer from Rett syndrome worldwide, spanning patients as young as 6 months into adulthood. Currently, there are no disease-modifying therapies to treat this devastating condition. We are excited to advance TSHA-102 in the REVEAL Phase 1/2 clinical trial as the first gene therapy in clinical development for Rett syndrome. But REVEAL study is an open label dose escalation randomized multi-center study that will examine the safety and efficacy of TSHA-102 in adult female patients with Rett syndrome. Up to 18 patients will be enrolled. In the first cohort, a single 5E14 total vg dose of TSHA-102 will be given intrathecally. The second cohort will be given a 1E15 total vg dose of TSHA-102. Key assessments will include Rett-specific kind of global assessments, quality of life, biomarkers and neurophysiology and imaging assessments. Sainte-Justine Mother and Child University Hospital Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada has been selected as the initial clinical trial site under the direction of Dr. Elsa Rossignol, Assistant Professor, Neuroscience and Pediatrics and Principal Investigator. We look forward to reporting preliminary first-in-human data by the end of 2022. TSHA-102 has been granted rare pediatric disease designation and orphan drug designation from the FDA and more recently orphan drug designation from the European Commission. Turning to TSHA-120 for the treatment of GAN, earlier this year, we reported positive clinical efficacy and safety data for the high dose cohort of 3.5E14 total vg delivered intrathecally as well as long-term safety and durability across all therapeutic doses. Treatment with TSHA-120 achieved a clinically meaningful or statistically significant slowing or halting of disease progression across all therapeutic dose cohorts that was further confirmed by long-term data demonstrating sustained durability. Notably, nerve biopsy data provided new evidence for active regeneration of nerve fibers following treatment with TSHA-120. In addition, we observed preservation of visual acuity as measured by the LogMAR scale and optical coherence tomography. There were no significant safety issues, no increase in adverse events at high doses and no dose limiting toxicities. All adverse events related to immunosuppression or study procedures were comparable to other gene therapies and transient in nature. Lastly, there is no evidence of dorsal root ganglion inflammation or thrombocytopenia. We recently completed a commercially representative GMP batch for TSHA-120 and release testing for this batch is currently underway. Also in April, TSHA-120 received orphan drug designation from the European Commission further supporting a large unmet need for treatment options in GAN and potentially expedited support in regulatory approval. As a reminder, TSHA-120 previously received orphan drug on rare pediatric disease designations from the FDA. Partnerships with genetics testing leader, GeneDx, to sponsor the inclusion of a genetic marker for GAN testing and the GeneDx routine hereditary neuropathy screening panel free of charge are ongoing as well as a collaboration with a hereditary neuropathy foundation and the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association Centers of Excellence healthcare professionals and patient advocacy groups to help raise awareness on the early diagnosis of GAN. We remain well positioned to further advance TSHA-120 through regulatory approval and believe the comprehensive gene therapy dataset generates the data in GAN offers TSHA-120 a potentially derisk regulatory path that meets most registration requirements of the FDA and EMA. We look forward to our continued discussions with major regulatory agencies on potential registration pathways for TSHA-120 and anticipate providing a regulator update by mid-2022. At the upcoming ASGCT meeting, Dr. Rachel Bailey, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at UTSW will be presenting data on vagus nerve delivery of TSHA-120 to treat the autonomic nervous system dysfunction in GAN. There will also be other presentations on some of our earlier stage programs, including preclinical data in tauopathy, Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome. There will also be a symposium on innovative approaches and translational strategies in gene therapy development. In addition to expected regulatory fever for TSHA-120 in GAN by mid-2022 and first in human preliminary Phase 1/2 safety and efficacy data for TSHA-102 in Rett syndrome by year end, we remain focused on continued clinical development of the first generation construct for CLN7 disease in partnership with UT Southwestern and under the leadership of Dr. Ben Greenberg, Vice Chair of Clinical and Translational Research and Principal Investigator during the course of 2022. Clinical development of TSHA-118 in CLN-1 disease also remains ongoing and we intend to initiate clinical development for our small proof-of-concept study for TSHA-105 and SLC13A5 deficiency. With that, I will turn the call over to Kamran to review our financial results. Kamran?

Thank you, Suyash. This morning, I will discuss key aspects of our financial results for the first quarter ended on March 31, 2022. More details can be found in our Form 10-Q, which will be filed with the SEC shortly. As indicated in our press release today, research and development expenses were $37.8 million for the 3 months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $23.9 million for the 3 months ended March 31, 2021. The $13.9 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $9.3 million in employee compensation, which included $2.2 million of severance and one-time termination costs in connection with the strategic reprioritization of programs completed in March 2022 and $1 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. Additionally, in the 3 months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred an increase of $2.9 million of expenses in research and development, manufacturing and other raw material purchases. We also incurred an increase of $1.7 million in third-party research and development consulting fees primarily related to GLP toxicology studies and clinical study activities. General and administrative expenses were $11.5 million for the 3 months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $8.2 million for the 3 months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of approximately $3.3 million was primarily attributable to $2.9 million of incremental compensation expense, which included $0.4 million of severance and one-time termination costs and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. We also incurred an increase of $0.4 million in professional fees related to insurance, Investor Relations, communications, accounting and market research. Net loss for the 3 months ended March 31, 2022 was $50.1 million or $1.31 per share as compared to a net loss of $32 million or $0.87 per share for the 3 months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, Taysha had $96.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. This cash balance excludes $12 million in gross proceeds generated from the sale of common shares under our existing at-the-market facility or ATM in April. Current cash and cash equivalents along with full access to our existing term loan facility, is expected to fund operating expenses and capital requirements into the fourth quarter of 2023. And with that, I will hand the call back to RA.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Joon Lee of Truist Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, good morning and thank you for taking my question. This is [indiscernible] on for Joon. So what is the probability by which you think FDA might ask you to have efficacy data on new patients using commercial grade material and how long would you take – would you think it takes to provide such data? Thank you.

Thank you. Our next question comes from line of Gil Blum with Needham & Company. Please proceed with your question.

Good morning and thanks for taking our question. We have another quick one on TSHA-120. So what more is there to do on your commercial grade product, what more things do you need to do there? And maybe you can give us an idea of how many patients can be treated with this batch? Thank you.

No, I think I would just echo the fact that the batches made, there was plenty of product majors or high yielding run and release testing is underway looking at the characterization of the product and it’s all looking very promising thus far. RA is quite correct, the only thing we are doing is outstanding is to finalize the potency assay. And just to remind you, potency assay essentially exists to demonstrate that the molecule that we are administering closely mimics and what’s effectively in the clinical settings it does in the lab setting and every lot needs to be tested, there is predefined acceptance character that need to be met. And the FDA and the regulators are pretty keen to ensure obviously the product we make on an ongoing basis is consistent and highly appropriate level of quality. And as RA said, we have made a lot of progress in finalizing that potency assay. So, everything is looking great. We are release testing is of the way and the drug is going to be available to pre-treating patients imminently.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Salveen Richter with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.

Hey, good morning, guys and thank you for taking our question. This is Elizabeth on for Salveen. Maybe just switching over to Rett, if you could comment on the nature of the first clinical data we expect to see and how many patients we can expect to see data from? And then a second one from us are, what kind of assumptions have been baked into the 4Q ‘23 cash runway guidance? Thank you.

Sure. Let me take the question about the clinical trial, then Kamran and RA can handle the second question. So with regard to the Rett clinical trial, this is a trial in adult females with Rett syndrome. To remind you, we just felt given – just given the concerns about potential overexpression, which we show with actually downregulate very nicely in our in RMHP data, we still wanted to be a little bit conservative. And so we are starting off in adults and the plan will be to move into children, pediatric females with a Rett at some point thereafter and then we want to plan a small study in boys, the very rare population of boys with Rett shortly thereafter. Now, in terms of expectations with regard to what we are going to have coming out of the clinical trial data of the adult study, which we anticipate sharing data from by the end of the year, the likelihood is going to be safety data and to have some preliminary efficacy data, we are not sure at the moment. We will, as is the case for these first enhanced studies with these innovative products, they have to target those things. We can’t go several patients all at once. We have to dose one patient, leave with a period of time and then dose the second patient after a DMC review and then leave with a period of time for dosing the next patients. So my guess is going to be a small number of patients safety data by the end of this year potentially some preliminary efficacy data if we are starting to see some early signs of that, but I think that’s why we are focusing on clinical trial at the moment. With regard to the assumptions, I’ll let RA and Kamran take that question.

Sure and thanks, Liz for the question. I was actually talking on mute. So just to reiterate what Suyash mentioned, we are quite excited about the Rett data, the preclinical datasets that supports the CTA, and again, are really excited about what this means to the Rett community being the first and only gene therapy, actually in clinical development for Rett syndrome. And I think just to echo what Suyash mentioned, it will really be on the totality of data, the amount of endpoints that are being collected are immense. Both from physician reported Rett syndrome outcomes, patient reported outcomes, respiratory measures, obviously, some neurodevelopmental measures as well as movement. So it’s really going to be a whole host of endpoints that will share including safety and safety is going to be probably one of the most important ones because there’s always this notion around overexpression and the data from our NHP study or NHP talks study not only demonstrated the safety of our construct at four – doses up to fourfold above what the starting dose will be in the clinical setting, but also proof of mechanism the ability to down regulate the expression of MECP2 in the presence of wild type in the presence of wild type MECP2 and so again, for us, it’s quite exciting. But certainly, this is one of the reasons why we decided to start into adults. So I would probably characterize it. Similarly the way that Suyash did and it’ll be on the totality of data, it’ll be safety with some preliminary efficacy in there. From an assumption perspective on cash runway, the way that we’re thinking about this is we have with the full drawdown of our current term loan facility from Silicon Valley Bank, we have the ability to be able to extend runway into Q4 of 2023. With our – along with our existing cash, and that’s kind of the assumption, the base case assumption that’s gone in as you are aware, we executed on a pipeline parameterization exercise earlier this year, which we announced this our yearend earnings call, which also included a risk of 35%. And essentially, kind of right sizing based off of a clear focus on two key programs. And that’s our Rett syndrome program. And our ginixonaneuropathy program, which we’re both quite excited about. And then taking two of the additional clinical development assets and moving those from more of a registration director trial to more of a proof of – kind of small proof of concept studies that being CLN1, and then SLC13A5. What I would also say though, is again, I’m quite, I’m quite excited about the progress that the team has made just in this short period of time. And really, the ability to be able to get through this prioritization analysis and kind of report focus accompany. And still execute is just been something that I’ve been immensely proud of. It’s not easy for anyone out there, in biotech, and particularly in gene therapy, but the team is really nose to the grind and executing. And so for us, all of this has been baked into our cash analysis, and we continue to look at ways to augment and extend runway.

Thank you. Our next question comes from line of Kevin DeGeeter with Oppenheimer & Company. Please proceed with your question.

Hey, great, thanks for taking our questions. Just on again regulatory update, RA, can you comment on your confidence sort of that, that mid 2022 update timeline? I guess sort of underlying this question is, is it reasonable to conclude they’ve had the necessary meetings with FDA and other regulatory agencies are waiting for feedback at this point? Are there kind of open scheduling components that could impact that timeline and cause some uncertainty that?

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jack Allen with Baird. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, thank you so much for taking the questions and congratulations on all progress. I wanted to shift gears back to Rett really briefly and talk about the dose there. I know you mentioned that you’re starting at 5V14 total VG and then moving up to 1E15. And that, I guess the preclinical package showed safety at 4x the first dose, I was just curious was there a dose in the preclinical package where you did see tolerability issues and how much coverage do you think you have to dose escalate as we move through the study based on the existing preclinical package?

Yes, hi, Jack. Thanks for the question. So it’s a really important question. The those select for the clinical trial for a gene therapy study, getting the dose Rett the first time is really important, because you’ve got to make sure you give enough drug to make sure the drugs are effective, but also make sure that there’s no safety or tolerability issues, because once you’ve given gene therapy, drugs, you can’t take it away again. So it’s a really critical decision that needs to be made. And in particular, for Rett, where there is this risk of over expression toxicity. So you have to get the amount of protein being produced appropriate within the appropriate physiological limits enough to make sure you’re having efficacy, but not so much protein that it causes toxic side effects. Because of that, we actually did a very, very disciplined preclinical package, which included a mouse pharmacology study. So a mouse model pharmacology study, we did a Rett toxicology study, we did an NHP toxicology study, all of the studies were very extensive and very comprehensive. The mouse study was over 250 mice, the Rett study was over 120 rats, NHP study was 24 NHPs. And the mouse pharmacology study is where you look for a dose that’s going to be efficacious. And we’re able to – we were able to identify that very clearly in terms of demonstrating enough drug causing an improvement in survival, motor assessments, respiratory assessments and other assessments. So the 5V14 total VG dose is above that level. And then on the other end, both in the Rett talks, and the NHP tops, we tested doses up to an equivalent of 2V15 total VG human equivalents that’s fourfold over the starting dose. And to answer your question, specifically, there was no adverse events of any note at the 2V15 dose. So, it’s possible we could go even higher with that. But we didn’t test higher than that, because we didn’t think there would be a need to go higher than 2V15, simply because we saw efficacy at a much lower amount in the naive and pharmacology study. And I think it was that combination of studies that really persuaded Health Canada to allow the CTA to be opened. And I think there is one other important piece around this NHP study that is really, really important. And I will actually be discussing this at a poster presentation at ASGCT, I think it’s tomorrow, tomorrow, Wednesday – it’s Tuesday, actually, yes, presenting it Tuesday. I have actually presented state of the big Rett syndrome, scientific conference that’s organized by the ISRA, about three or four weeks ago. And the NHP tox does three things, it shows a full absence of any kind of toxic effects, which is important for fourfold higher clinical dose, it also shows really excellent biodistribution from an intrathecal dose throughout the brain and the spinal cord. So, you are getting back to copy numbers in a very nice range, one to two copies particular genome in different parts of the brain, and the spinal cord, in the ganglia and the peripheral nervous system. And it also shows correspondingly low levels of RNA. And don’t forget, these are wild type NHPs. So, what that means is you are getting great delivery of drug into the brain and spinal cord, but actually very high down-regulation, meaning not much RNA being produced, which is appropriate given this a wild type animal. So, that NHP study shows safety, it shows biodistribution, but importantly, mechanism of action. And so I will be going through that data in more detail the ASGCT meeting tomorrow. So, that group of studies together, was really very persuasive to Health Canada till last week in the CTA.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Yun Zhong with BTIG. Please proceed with your question.

Hi. Thank you very much for taking the question. This is actually a follow-up question on just what you said, just now Suyash. So, on Rett syndrome, has anyone looked at comparability between non-human primates and human patients in terms of biodistribution? And also given that this is not cross correction to be expected? So, are there any data to suggest the transduction efficiency, or do you have an estimate on how many cells will need to be transduced to see reasonable efficacy?

Two very good questions. So, the first question was about the translatability of NHP biodistribution to human. It’s a good question. No one has done it specifically in Rett. What we have done is we have shown very nice biodistribution with our Rett program with an intrathecal dose into an NHP, which is of course smaller than the human being. But the anatomy is very similar. And it’s probably the best corollary looking at blood sugar in any animal model to the human. And we get really nice biodistribution throughout the brain and the spinal cord with the intrathecal dose of injection. Now, in the human setting, the only way to really ascertain biodistribution is in a sad situation if the patient was to pass away and to look at DNA and RNA, and protein in that individual. And that did happen very early on in one of the GAN patients. One of the low dose GAN patients who sadly passed away through progression of disease, this data has been presented by Carson Palmer and Steven Gray at the ASGCT meeting a few years ago. And they showed that with an intrathecal dose of AAV9 gene therapy for GAN. You actually got nice biodistribution, although it’s a low level, but it was a low dose throughout all target organs, tissues. And the other thing I will say from what we learned from the GAN program, and don’t forget GAN AAV9 is HEK293, and intrathecally delivered, so lots of similarities to the Rett program. The other thing I will say about GAN is, is that we have demonstrated more recently in our January presentation that we see improvements in the peripheral nerves, in the nerve biopsies. Now, these are nerve biopsies that are performed in the radial superficial nerve, which is a nerve in the wrist. And what this means is that drug is getting down into the peripheral nerve system, down to the wrist, from an intrathecal dose of injection. So, for those reasons, we are confident that intrathecal dose of drug will actually deliver drug in the Rett syndrome very nicely to all the tissues that needs to be transfused which are brain in particular and the spinal cord and brainstem. That’s answer of the first question. The second question you had was about, what proportion of cells need to be transduced. And it’s difficult to know, but we certainly believe that, with this 50-50 ratio of mosaics versus, versus non-mosaics – sorry, wild type versus null cells in the mosaic setting, we certainly know that if we transduce some of the cells, you are going to get some clinical benefit. And the likelihood is, the more cells that are now being transduced, the better clinical benefit you get. So, our approach, once again, is to give a high dose of drug intrathecally to enhance biodistribution. And we know we have confidence, that giving high doses of drug, you still see a nice down-regulation of the protein being produced, which for the wild type cells. So, once again, we don’t know exactly how many cells need to be transduced. But I think a small number will give you some benefit. A large number may give more benefits. But we are quite confident giving high doses to enhanced biodistribution, because we see our down-regulation package working nicely. Hopefully, that answers your question, Yun?

Thank you. Our next question comes from a line of Laura Chico with Wedbush Securities. Please proceed with your question.

Hey. Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking the question. I wanted to circle back with regards to the spend, I am wondering if you can offer a little bit more clarity on perhaps the breakdown between R&D and G&A. And RA, I think you made an earlier comment too, about kind of exploring additional channels for monetization, just wondering if you could kind of expand on that a little bit. Thanks guys.

Yes. Sure. Happy to. Thanks RA and thanks for the question, Laura. So, over 75% of our operating expenses are R&D related. And as RA mentioned, because of their strategic pipeline prioritization efforts, we will be able to reduce that R&D expense burn significantly over the next coming quarters as a result of pausing research and development activities on our preclinical programs, as well as significant reduction in our CMC expenses. Ultimately, as a reminder, we conducted six GMP batches last year, some of which were completed in Q1 of this year in terms of product release. And we are only doing GMP manufacturing on our GAN program this year. So, you can expect a significant reduction in our CMC expense year-over-year and in subsequent quarters as a result. So, again, a lot of a lot of nice work to really focus our resources and our efforts primarily on of course, GAN.

Thank you. Our next question comes from line of Yanan Zhu with Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question.

Hi. Thanks for taking my questions. A couple on the Rett syndrome clinical trial, what is the waiting period for safety observation, once patient one is dosed? And how could – how would you ascertain whether there is MECP2 overexpression associated toxicity given that the MECP2 duplication syndrome share a lot of the same manifestations with Rett syndrome? Thank you.

Sure. So, the staggering specifically is eight weeks. So, after patient is dosed for a review of the eight week time point, and discussions with DMC will then show with the absence of any safety issues, we will then go ahead and dose the next patient. But that’s between patients one or two as time progresses, the staggering changes in the clinical trial course. And we do less staggering as the study progresses. Specifically, with regard to signs of over-expression toxicity, it’s a good question. And it’s one we have discussed at length, both with regulators and with key opinion leaders. And the bottom line is that most patients, in fact, all patients in the adult study, certainly unlike in the pediatric study will be in the Phase 3 of Rett syndrome, i.e., they are stable and not declining. You may recollect that there is four phases to the clinical progress of patients with Rett. The first is where they get the diagnosis. The Phase 2 is when there is a rapid decline in functionality. Phase 3 is when they are in a stable phase by a state with a very complex level of functioning. And then there can be a phase for years, sometimes decades, and then they end up into a deterioration phase. To all patients who have struggled in the Phase 3, i.e., they are stable. So, what we are looking for clinically is any kind of deterioration, okay, because there is such a poor state, they have been stable for a while. If there is any deterioration seen in terms of Rett syndrome type behaviors or other neurological features, it’s likely to be due to over-expression than a progression of Rett syndrome. Now, will we miss a definite, no, we wouldn’t, because we can’t bite to the brain tissue, of course, in the clinical trial in patients. But the way we are observing specifically MECP2 over especially toxicity is by looking for a change in the mental status and the change of neurological status, and your behavioral status, and central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, deterioration after dosing with a gene therapy, because that’s unlikely be due to progression of Rett is likely to be due to over a special toxicity of MECP2. Having several of that, we anticipate that’s highly unlikely given NHP tox data and our rat tox data where we gave very high doses of the drug fourfold of the present clinical dose, and so no toxicity even at that high level.

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the end of our time allowed for questions. I will turn the floor back to Mr. Session for any final comments.

Thank you. This concludes today’s conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
