resTORbio Completes Dosing of Patients in Phase 2b

Study to Reduce the Incidence of Respiratory Tract

Infections in the Elderly

Topline 16-week data now expected in the third quarter of 2018

BOSTON, Massachusetts, May. 9, 2018 – resTORbio, Inc. (NASDAQ:TORC), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on helping people live healthier longer through the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics for the treatment of aging-related diseases, today announced that dosing has been completed in its Phase 2b trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RTB101, an orally-administered, selective TORC1 inhibitor, alone or in combination with everolimus, in reducing the incidence of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in 652 elderly subjects.

“RTIs are a leading cause of hospitalizations and death among the elderly and are mainly caused by viruses that lack effective treatments,” said Chen Schor, President and CEO of resTORbio. “Selective TORC1 inhibition has the potential to improve the function of the aging immune system and thereby reduce the incidence of RTIs, regardless of the causative pathogen, representing a new paradigm for meeting the needs of at-risk elderly patients. Increasing scientific data suggest that TORC1 inhibition also has the potential to improve the function of other aging organ systems. We are pleased to have dosed all patients in our Phase 2b study, and we look forward to reporting topline data in the third quarter of 2018.”

The randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial was initiated to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RTB101 alone or in combination with everolimus in reducing the incidence of RTIs. The study enrolled 652 subjects at increased risk of RTI-associated morbidity and mortality, defined as aged 85 and over or 65-84 with comorbidities. The study consists of two parts during which elderly subjects were enrolled during the winter cold and flu seasons in the southern (Part 1) and northern (Part 2) hemispheres. Part 2 of the study commenced in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2017 following an interim analysis of Part 1 results. Part 2 is a 4-arm study comparing placebo to 10 mg of RTB101 dosed once daily (QD), 10 mg of RTB101 dosed twice daily (BID), or 10 mg of RTB101 and 0.1 mg of everolimus dosed QD. All subjects were treated with study drug for 16 weeks, followed by eight weeks of follow-up.
