Healthy donor levels expressed as percent of RA patient pre-dose levels • An ATI-450 dependent, durable inhibition of the proinflammatory markers TNFa, IL8 and MIP1b was observed at both the 20 mg BID and 50 mg BID doses relative to placebo • The IL1RA (anti-inflammatory cytokine) and IL6 were not inhibited at either dose (not shown) IL8 MIP1b

All rights reserved (XX) • Efficacy: ATI-450 20 mg BID and 50 mg BID did not differentiate from placebo in ACR20 and other measures o Efficacy of ATI-450 20 mg BID, 50 mg BID and placebo were generally very similar at week 12 on all measures o Placebo response at higher end of the expected range • Safety: No meaningful safety findings o More discontinuations due to AEs on ATI-450 (especially 50 mg BID) than placebo, although reasons are diverse • PK and PD o PK dose proportional with exposure similar to HS-201 and healthy volunteer studies, while a little lower than RA-201 o Proinflammatory PD biomarkers (TNFα, IL8 and MIP1b) performed as expected at both 20 and 50 mg BID relative to placebo while IL6 and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL1RA were not inhibited at either dose Summary of Results and Conclusions 13
