resTORbio highlights First-in-class and
most advanced selective TORC1 program for aging-related diseases Extensive body of literature demonstrating that aging is a biology regulated by the TORC1 pathway Lead candidate, RTB101, is an orally administered, small molecule, potent TORC1
inhibitor product candidate Phase 3 program will evaluate whether RTB101 decreases, as compared to placebo, the percentage of subjects with clinical symptoms consistent with an RTI with or without laboratory-confirmation of a pathogen In two Phase 2
studies enrolling > 900 elderly subjects, RTB101 10mg QD was observed to improve immune function and reduce the incidence of RTIs Plan to initiate Phase 3 program in 2Q19; Data expected mid-2020 Data-driven approach to expand into potential
additional aging-related indications Plan to initiate Phase 1b/2a study in Parkinson's disease in 1Q19 Building a pipeline targeting multiple mechanisms underlying the biology of aging Significant market opportunity due to the rapidly growing
aging population and the potential of TORC1 inhibition to improve the function of multiple aging organ systems QD = once daily; RTI = respiratory tract infection
