BXCL501 Phase 1b Trial Summary of Results BXCL501: a potential first-in-class, proprietary sublingual thin film of dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha-2a receptor agonist (a novel mechanism of action). Clinically meaningful, rapid and durable reductions in PEC score in acute treatment of agitation in schizophrenia patients. Statistically significant mean reduction in PEC score at two hours compared to placebo following a single dose of 180 mcg (p<0.0001), with rapid and durable effects maintained for 4 to 6 hours across multiple dose strengths. Approximately 90% of patients met response criteria at 180 mcg with a reduction in PEC score (>40%). Well-tolerated with no serious or severe adverse events across the entire dose range. Data support progressing BXCL501 program potentially to Phase 3 pivotal trials, subject to discussions with FDA.

About Agitation Overview Common and costly phenomenon associated with number of psychiatric conditions - 8.3 million suffer from agitation each year in the US - $40 billion per year health care burden Consensus guidelines recommend non-coercive management strategies to protect therapeutic alliance between patients and healthcare providers Unmet medical need: rapid symptom relief with non-invasive approach 8.3M 3M - 5M Add Text ~19M At Risk Suffer Agitation Mild to Moderate Agitation

BXCL501 Phase 1b Trial Safety BXCL501 was well-tolerated with no serious or severe adverse events across the entire dose range. The most common treatment-related adverse events were mild somnolence and dry mouth. A maximum tolerated dose was not reached. All subjects (100%) were able to self-administer the film and complete the study.

BXCL501 Phase 1b Trial Summary Statistically significant improvement in PEC score in the 80, 120, and 180 mcg dose groups for BXCL501 in patients with schizophrenia. Calming effect was durable lasting at least 6 hours as evidenced by separation from placebo for 80, 120 and 180 mcg dose groups. Well-tolerated across all doses tested. A maximum tolerated dose was not observed. We believe data support progressing the BXCL501 program to pivotal trials, subject to further discussions with the FDA.
