RASP Modulation Represents a Novel Pharmacology RASP = reactive aldehyde species
Traditional pharmacology targets specific proteins and is generally limited to two actions: on or off. . Activating or inhibiting specific proteins on a sustained basis, which rarely occurs in nature, may lead to toxicity and could limit
activity. RASP modulation may allow for control of protein systems, without turning any single protein on or off. Systems-based pharmacology could potentially lead to broader-based activity with less toxicity associated with activation or
inhibition of specific proteins. Vs.

ADX-629 Data Suggest Potential for Next-Generation Investigational RASP Modulators
ADX-246 and ADX-248 ADX-246 Oral Administration designed to treat immune-mediated systemic diseases thought to be caused or exacerbated by pro-inflammatory RASP. Pre-clinical studies of ADX-246 demonstrated high affinity for RASP and
activity following systemic administration in animal models of sepsis, hepatitis, and atopic dermatitis. ADX-248 Intravitreal Injection designed to reduce inflammation and toxic metabolite formation associated with geographic atrophy, a
severe form of macular degeneration. Preclinical studies of ADX-248 demonstrated high affinity for binding retinaldehyde, a key RASP involved in retinal inflammation and the formation of toxic metabolites that accumulate in the retina.
ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate.
Current Treatment Options for Patients with Mild to Moderate Atopic Dermatitis are
Often Sub-Optimal Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease associated with itching and dermal lesions, occurring in children and adults. The etiology of atopic dermatitis is generally thought to be caused by immune dysfunction associated
with hyperreactivity to endogenous or exogenous factors. Moderate to severe patients are often treated with topical corticosteroids and injections, which may be inconvenient and can be associated with toxicity. We believe the demand for a
safe, tolerable, and orally administered therapy for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis patients is substantial.

ADX-629 Demonstrated Broad Investigator-Assessed andPatient-Reported Activity in
Atopic Dermatitis Statistically significant improvement from baseline observed in investigator-assessed Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI, p=0.0006) and Investigator Global Assessment (IGA, p<0.0001) EASI 75% improvement (EASI-75)

patient-reported eczema score (POEM) in six patients (75%) Statistically significant improvement from baseline observed in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D, p=0.02) ADX-246, an analog of ADX-629, expected to be advanced to Phase
1/2, multicenter, placebo-controlled clinical trial in healthy volunteers and atopic dermatitis patients ADX-629 is an investigational drug candidate. The results from the clinical trial of ADX-629 in atopic dermatitis are consistent with
activity demonstrated in previously disclosed clinical trials of ADX-629, including Phase 2 clinical trials in psoriasis, asthma, and chronic cough, adding to a growing body of evidence that we believe is supportive of the activity of RASP
modulators in systemic diseases associated with inflammation.
Atopic Dermatitis is the First of Aldeyra's RASP Programs to Advance to Formal
Development with ADX-246 Given the positive signal-finding results from ADX-629, ADX-246, which we believe is the most potent RASP modulator ever developed, is expected to be advanced to clinical testing in Phase 1/2 clinical trial in heathy
volunteers and atopic dermatitis patients. The Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial is expected to randomize 20 patients to ADX-246 and 10 patients to placebo for 90 days of treatment, and is expected to begin in the first half of
2024. Results are expected in the second half of 2024. ADX-246 is an investigational drug candidate. Clinical trial initiations and results are subject to regulatory review, patient recruitment, and other factors.
