Summary Topline data from a placebo-controlled double-blinded Phase 1b trial examining 400 mg oral RPT193 as monotherapy for 4 weeks in 31 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis* Efficacy: RPT193 demonstrates clear improvement over placebo on all key exploratory endpoints  At Day 29: EASI [36.3% vs. 17.0%], EASI-50 [42.9% vs. 10.0%], vIGA 0/1 [4.8% vs. 0.0%], and pruritis NRS-4 [45.0% vs. 22.2%]  Further improvement observed during the 2-week follow up period to Day 43: EASI [53.2% vs. 9.6%]†, EASI-50 [61.9% vs. 20.0%]†, and vIGA 0/1 [14.3% vs. 0.0%] Safety: Overall safety profile to date suggests a well-tolerated oral drug that would not require laboratory safety monitoring No SAEs reported; all AEs reported were mild or moderate in intensity The clear clinical benefit combined with the favorable safety profile and oral convenience would support positioning ahead of approved and late-stage therapies A 16-week Phase 2b dose-ranging study in patients with moderate-to-severe AD will be initiated * Initial topline data and analyses are being reported today. Additional analyses are ongoing and full datasets will be incorporated as part of a future publication or at a medical conference. † Difference between RPT193 and placebo on the EASI and EASI-50 score was statistically significant at Day 43 (p < 0.05). No other endpoints or timepoints achieved statistical significance.

Atopic Dermatitis Represents a Major Market Opportunity Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common disease affecting ~19M adults and ~10M children in the US $24B market by 2029* While the injectable Dupixent® (dupilumab) provides an important option, a well-tolerated, effective, oral drug that does not require laboratory safety monitoring remains a high unmet need in these patients RPT193, a highly potent and selective oral C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4) antagonist, has the potential to address this need Novel mechanism of action – upstream of current agents targeting cytokines and the JAK pathway – designed to target the specific type of inflammation that drives allergic disease, without broadly suppressing the immune response * Decision Resources Guide May 2021; EU, US, and Japan market

Next Steps for RPT193 Program RPT193 Phase 2 Trials Phase 1b Atopic Dermatitis Phase 2b Atopic Dermatitis Phase 2a Asthma PoC Achieved Adults with moderate-to-severe AD 16-week dosing period Multiple doses RPT193 vs. placebo Goal: Evaluate efficacy and safety at 16 weeks and determine optimal dose for Phase 3 trials In planning


Slide 14

Conclusion Data from this Phase 1b study in patients with atopic dermatitis demonstrate clear benefit in key exploratory clinical endpoints including EASI and vIGA Continued deepening of responses through the 2-week follow-up period suggests higher levels of efficacy could be achieved in longer studies Profile suggests an effective, well-tolerated oral molecule without the need for laboratory safety monitoring, with potential positioning ahead of injectables Next step: 16-week Phase 2b study in patients with moderate-to-severe AD  Planning a Phase 2a study in patients with asthma
