12 Venous Malformations: Progress Towards the Potential First Targeted Therapy for Unaddressed Cutaneous Disease Known Genetics / Clear Biology Real - world Evidence Real - world evidence supports rapamycin’s off - label use in primarily internal manifestations of VMs… …however, poor patient outcomes persist in cutaneous disease Limaye et al (2009, 2015) Teng et al (2025) QTORIN RAPAMYCIN On Target, In Tissue Phase 2 TOIVA Data (2025) Plausible mechanism 3.9% concentration Dermal penetration Extensive CMC package QTORIN 3.9% rapamycin anhydrous gel is for investigational use only and has not been approved or cleared by the FDA or by any other regulatory agency. The safety or efficacy has not been established for any use.

18 Site: CHOP Investigator: Dr. Denise Adams Participant Age: 17 Mutation: TEK cVM - IGA at Week 12: Very Much Improved (+3) Week 12 Baseline Phase 2 Results: Visible Improvement Participant Qualitative Interview: “I’ve definitely noticed some improvements…it’s definitely had a positive effect…It’s more comfortable to wear a bra now…I’ve had less pain in that specific area” Note: Selective photos.

 

19 Site: Cleveland Clinic Investigator: Dr. Michael Kelly Participant Age: 13 Mutation: PIK3CA cVM - IGA at Week 12: Much Improved (+2) Week 12 Phase 2 Results: Visible Improvement Note: Selective photos. Week 12 Baseline Participant Qualitative Interview: “It’s slowed down bleeding and the color has changed…There’s a bump on my leg that went away…it shrunk in size and now it’s not there really”

 

20 Phase 2 Results: Safety and Tolerability • QTORI N rapamycin was generally well - tolerated , similar to previous clinical trials • Most common Treatment - Emergent Adverse Events were application site reactions (erythema, 25%) • All Treatment - Related Adverse Events were moderate or mild (no severe events) • Majority of AEs were mild • No SAEs related to study drug • No unexpected A Es Rapamycin levels were below the lower limit of quantification (2 ng/mL) in systemic circulation on a standard lab assay for all participants at all timepoints in the study Significantly below 5 ng/mL which is the lower boundary where rapamycin begins to exert immunosuppressive effects

 

21 Summary Wes Kaupinen Chief Executive Officer QTORIN Rapamycin for Cutaneous Venous Malformations

 

22 QTORIN Rapamycin has the Potential to Be the First FDA - Approved Therapy for Cutaneous Venous Malformations Achieved statistical significance on multiple pre - specified clinician - reported and patient - reported efficacy endpoints, including 73% of participants (11/15 participants) demonstrated a 1 - point improvement or greater on Overall cVM - IGA at Week 12 Planning for near - term discussions with FDA regarding potential for Breakthrough Therapy Designation and a Phase 3 pivotal study, as well as the newly announced Plausible Mechanism Pathway QTORIN rapamycin has the potential to become the first FDA - approved therapy and standard of care for the estimated more than 75,000 individuals with cutaneous venous malformations in the U.S. 1 The Phase 2 results further support Palvella’s “pipeline - in - a - product” strategy for QTORIN rapamycin, with programs advancing in microcystic LMs, cVMs, and angiokeratomas 2 3
