STAR - 0215 Potential for Best - in - Class Profile in HAE 8 1. If this application is nationalized in PCT member states ex - U.S., the term of any resulting patents would also be to 2042, ex clusive of any available term extensions. Novel CDRs with patent pending Fc engineered with YTE modifications for half - life extension Potent inhibition of plasma kallikrein activity High selectivity for plasma kallikrein Formulated to reduce pain Preclinical Profile of STAR - 0215 Encouraging preliminary clinical results Demonstrated high potency for plasma kallikrein and long plasma half - life Differentiated profile Potential benefits include long duration without breakthrough attacks and infrequent SC dosing - once every 3 months or longer Trusted modality To provide patients with improved quality of life Astria wholly owns an international patent application directed to STAR - 0215.

10 STAR - 0215 1 : • 8 (32%) subjects (STAR - 0215 or placebo) had related TEAEs • No SAEs and all related TEAEs were mild (Grade 1) and resolved. No Grade 2, 3, or 4 TEAEs. • 6 subjects had ISRs (all mild), most commonly site redness; no reports of pain TEAE= Treatment - emergent adverse event; ISR = injection site reaction; SAE = serious adverse events 1. Other related TEAEs were headache (1 subject) and unexplained weight gain (1 subject), both in Cohort 1 (100 mg). There were no clinically relevant changes in vital signs, ECG parameters, or laboratory values. 15 Grade 1 (mild) ISRs occurred in 6 subjects, including erythema (site redness), pruritus, swelling and inflammation. No clinically relevant changes in liver enzymes or coagulation parameters. No deaths, or adverse events leading to study discon tinuation. Results will be finalized after the end of the observation period 2. TAKHZYRO US Prescribing Information, Feb 2022.
