CAMBRIDGE, Mass. August 13, 2014 Eleven Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: EBIO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company discovering and
developing protein therapeutics to treat diseases of the eye, today reported business highlights and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.
We made significant progress advancing our clinical pipeline of novel therapeutics for ocular disease this quarter, including EBI-005, our lead product candidate in development as one of the first topically administered proteins for the treatment of inflammatory ocular surface disease, said Abbie Celniker, President and Chief
Executive Officer. Our pivotal Phase 3 clinical study of EBI-005 in dry eye disease is continuing to enroll patients and we plan to initiate a twelve-month safety study with EBI-005 later this year. We look forward to continuing to advance
this program towards the market, and reiterate our intention to file a Biologic License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for EBI-005 in the second half of 2016 for dry eye disease.

Biotherapeutics most advanced product candidate is EBI-005, which was designed, engineered and generated using the Company s AMP-Rx platform and is being developed as a topical treatment for dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis. In
2013, Eleven Biotherapeutics completed a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of EBI-005 in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease. The EBI-005 program is based on the role that elevated levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1, or IL-1,
play in the initiation and maintenance of the inflammation and pain associated with dry eye disease and the redness and itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. EBI-005 is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study in
subjects with dry eye disease and a Phase 2 clinical study in subjects with allergic conjunctivitis.
