 RASP are Toxic, and Represent a Novel, Potentially Broadly Applicable Pharmaceutical Target  RASP = reactive aldehyde species   Drugs  Metabolism & Lipid   Peroxidation  Smoking & Vaping  Food & Beverages  Pollution  Endogenous aldehyde sourced within the body  Inflammation  Exogenous aldehyde sourced outside the body  RASP affect large classes of proteins, especially those associated with the immune cascade. 
 

 RASP Modulation Represents a Novel Pharmacology  RASP = reactive aldehyde species   Traditional pharmacology targets specific proteins and is generally limited to two actions: on or off.  .  Activating or inhibiting specific proteins on a sustained basis, which rarely occurs in nature, may lead to toxicity and could limit activity.  RASP modulation may allow for control of protein systems, without turning any single protein on or off.  Systems-based pharmacology could potentially lead to broader-based activity with less toxicity associated with activation or inhibition of specific proteins.  Vs. 
 

 ADX-629, a First-in-Class Orally Administered RASP Modulator, Has Demonstrated Activity in Phase 2 Clinical Trials  ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate. CI = confidence interval. LOCF = last observation carried forward. NIAID = National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. RASP = reactive aldehyde species. SEM = standard error of measurement.

 ADX-629 Data Suggest Potential for Next-Generation Investigational RASP Modulators ADX-246 and ADX-248  ADX-246   Oral Administration  … designed to treat immune-mediated systemic diseases thought to be caused or exacerbated by pro-inflammatory RASP.  Pre-clinical studies of ADX-246 demonstrated high affinity for RASP and activity following systemic administration in animal models of sepsis, hepatitis, and atopic dermatitis.   ADX-248   Intravitreal Injection  … designed to reduce inflammation and toxic metabolite formation associated with geographic atrophy, a severe form of macular degeneration.  Preclinical studies of ADX-248 demonstrated high affinity for binding retinaldehyde, a key RASP involved in retinal inflammation and the formation of toxic metabolites that accumulate in the retina.    ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate. 
 

 Current Treatment Options for Patients with Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis are Often Sub-Optimal   Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease associated with itching and dermal lesions, occurring in children and adults.  The etiology of atopic dermatitis is generally thought to be caused by immune dysfunction associated with hyperreactivity to endogenous or exogenous factors.  Moderate to severe patients are often treated with topical corticosteroids and injections, which may be inconvenient and can be associated with toxicity.  We believe the demand for a safe, tolerable, and orally administered therapy for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis patients is substantial.

 Statistically and Clinically Significant Improvement in EASI Score was Observed during Treatment with ADX-629     ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate. EASI = eczema area and severity index (investigator-assessed). SEM = standard error of measurement.  EASI-50 = 50%  EASI-75 = 38%  EASI-90 = 13%

 Statistically and Clinically Significant Improvement in IGA was Observed during Treatment with ADX-629     ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate. IGA = investigator global assessment; IGA of 0 is clear and IGA of 1 is almost clear. SEM = standard error of measurement.  IGA of 0 or 1 = 13% 
 

 Statistically and Clinically Significant Improvement in Peak Itching Score was Observed during Treatment with ADX-629     ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate. Patient-reported peak itching score was assessed by the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale.

 ADX-629 Demonstrated Broad Investigator-Assessed andPatient-Reported Activity in Atopic Dermatitis  Statistically significant improvement from baseline observed in investigator-assessed Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI, p=0.0006) and Investigator Global Assessment (IGA, p<0.0001)  EASI 75% improvement (EASI-75) threshold observed in three patients (38%), and affected body surface area was completely cleared in one patient (13%)  Patient-reported itching completely cleared in two patients (25%) and clinically relevant threshold achieved in patient-reported eczema score (POEM) in six patients (75%)  Statistically significant improvement from baseline observed in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D, p=0.02)  ADX-246, an analog of ADX-629, expected to be advanced to Phase 1/2, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trial in healthy volunteers and atopic dermatitis patients    ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate.  The results from the clinical trial of ADX-629 in atopic dermatitis are consistent with activity demonstrated in previously disclosed clinical trials of ADX-629, including Phase 2 clinical trials in psoriasis, asthma, and chronic cough, adding to a growing body of evidence that we believe is supportive of the activity of RASP modulators in systemic diseases associated with inflammation.  
 

 Atopic Dermatitis is the First of Aldeyra’s RASP Programs to Advance to Formal Development with ADX-246  Given the positive signal-finding results from ADX-629, ADX-246, which we believe is the most potent RASP modulator ever developed, is expected to be advanced to clinical testing in Phase 1/2 clinical trial in heathy volunteers and atopic dermatitis patients.  The Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial is expected to randomize 20 patients to ADX-246 and 10 patients to placebo for 90 days of treatment, and is expected to begin in the first half of 2024.  Results are expected in the second half of 2024.    ADX-246 is an investigational drug candidate. Clinical trial initiations and results are subject to regulatory review, patient recruitment, and other factors.
