Aldehydes Are Mediators of Inflammation NS2 is a first-in-class aldehyde trap and is the lead compound in a novel anti-inflammatory platform. Aldehydes Protein Signaling via Thiol and Amine Binding Inflammasome , NF-KB Activation Cytokine Release


Slide 4

The Aldehyde Trap Ocular Anti-Inflammatory Platform ü ü NS2 has demonstrated activity in the two major types of inflammation, and has the potential to be efficacious in a wide variety of inflammatory disease. Allergy (TH2 Cytokines) Atopic Kerato -Conjunctivitis, etc. Allergic Conjunctivitis Autoimmune (TH1 Cytokines) Cyclitis , Iritis, Scleritis , DES, etc. Uveitis


Slide 5

Trapping Aldehydes Generates a Broad Anti-Inflammatory Response In a murine model of cytokine storm, NS2 administration significantly reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines while up-regulating an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Mice treated with NS2 or vehicle prior to endotoxin exposure; cytokines measured two hours after endotoxin exposure ** p<0.01 *** p<0.001 **** p<0.0001 ** ** *** ** Data presented at the American Academy of Asthma Allergy and Immunology 2015 Annual Meeting **** 700% 0% -25% -50% -75% -100% TNF-a IL-1b IL-5 IL-17 IL-10 Cytokine Levels Percent Change vs. Vehicle TH1 TH2 TH1 TH1

Noninfectious Anterior Uveitis: A Serious Inflammatory Disease Aldeyra’s lead aldehyde trap reduced anterior chamber cell count in a manner comparable to corticosteroids in a Phase II clinical trial Q2 2016. Uveitis Acute anterior ocular inflammation Inflammatory cells in front of eye, pain , photophobia, loss of vision Estimated 25,000 US patients/year Currently treated with corticosteroids , which may lead to cataracts and glaucoma

Slide 14

No statistically significant differences* for anterior chamber cell count or flare were observed between groups in: Time to sustained grade of 0 Proportion of subjects with sustained grade 0 Time to sustained reduction of 1-point or greater grade Proportion of subjects with sustained 1-point or greater reduction of grade NS2 Comparable to Corticosteroid in Noninfectious Anterior Uveitis Phase II *Trial not statistically powered.


Slide 15

No significant differences observed in symptom scores No SAEs in any group Eye stinging/burning was reported in the NS2 treated groups 4 subjects in NS2 group, leading to one discontinuation 3 subjects in NS2+Corticosteroid group, leading to one discontinuation Overall, NS2 was well tolerated with no safety issues raised for future studies of topical ocular NS2 NS2 Generally Well-Tolerated in Noninfectious Anterior Uveitis Phase II
