Why Improving COVID Therapy Matters Significant cause of human disease and mortality in vulnerable populations 1 12 Increasing clinical and economic burden of Long COVID Many people seeking COVID19 therapy are ineligible for PAXLOVID® due to drug interactions of the boosting agent ritonavir. Estimated that ~20% of persons seeking treatment are denied because they are using common medications that are incompatible with ritonavir Declining vaccine use, regulatory hurdles slowing vaccine approval, and poor match of vaccine with current variants increases virus spread and potential for serious disease Approved PAXLOVID® label limited to 5 - days, which may be insufficient to prevent clinical rebound and Long COVID Sources and Notes: 1. Traws information, 2. Carly Herbert et al. (2025) Clinical Infectious Diseases. https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciae539 .

Ratutrelvir Value Proposition for COVID/Long COVID 13 Differentiating features of ratutrelvir , a potent oral antiviral agent Dose at RP2D maintains favorable PK, with plasma drug levels at > 4 - times the EC 9 0, and we predict that drug concentrations will be higher in lung compared to blood plasma Broadly more active against original COVID strains, variants of concern, and emerging drug - resistant strains compared to nirmatrelvir, ensitrelvir , and ibuzatrelvir A Phase 1 clinical study with 10 continuous days of ratutrelvir dosing demonstrated excellenet safety/tolerability, and maintained drug levels above the predicted therapeutic range without the use of ritonavir Good overall tolerability enables increased duration and intensity of treatment, which may reduce the rate of clinical rebound and mitigate the risk of Long COVID Good overall safety profile allows once daily, single tablet dosing for 10 days to prevent rebound, compared to PAXLOVID® with multiple tablets taken twice a day for 5 days where rebound risk was higher than among untreated patients Favorable profile could enable accessibility to a larger number of vulnerable individuals Notes: TRAW data on file. Nirmatrelvir is the active agent in PAXLOVID® (a registered trademark of Pfizer, Inc); ibuzatrelvir is being developed by Pfizer, Inc.

 

 

Ratutrelvir is Consistently More Potent than Competitor Agents for Suppressing COVID virus growth in vitro 14 Superior to nirmatrelvir or ibuzatrelvir , across multiple virus strains Notes: Data represents a comparison of literature data v. Traws ’ in vitro assay results.

Phase 1 Data Show that TXM Maintains Plasma Blood Levels > EC 90 for ~3 weeks (NCT06757738) 41 No treatment related adverse events Notes: Four doses evaluated (80, 120, 240, 480mg, all fasted). Each group included a sentinel dose with 24h observation (1 ac tiv e, 1 placebo), following by the main group (5 active, 1 placebo). Tivoxavir marboxil dosed as powder - in - capsule. Safety Review Committee evaluation 10 days after dosing. Pharmacokinetic study continued until 28 days after dosing.. Data on file, TRAWS Pharma. Tivoxavir in plasma (ng/mL) Plasma drug levels above EC 90 for ~3 weeks days after single 480 mg dose in healthy volunteers Time (hours) EC90 ~0.82 ng/mL 3 weeks

 

 

Pre - IND Meeting Feedback Received from FDA 42 Note: CFR314.600 thru 314.650 , October 2015 , https://www.fda.gov/media/88625/download Regulatory strategy focused on the Animal Rule to accelerate development and combined dose - ranging efficacy/safety study in seasonal and bird flu infected patients ▪ Animal Rule intended to provide a path to approval in situations when human clinical studies would be unethical or impractical ▪ Allows FDA to rely on adequate and well - controlled animal efficacy studies to support approval of a drug ▪ Demonstration of human safety is a requirement ▪ Discussions continue with FDA on specified next steps in TXM development; reaffirmed that Animal Rule not currently applicable for accelerated approval for influenza

TXM Could Be a Fit for the “Animal Rule” 1,2 Human challenge studies of bird flu are not possible • Virus evolved to a more virulent strain (dairy worker, mild symptoms) • History of A/H5N1 virus strains with up to 50% case fatality rate 3 • Virus can be 100% fatal in 3 - 5 days in animals (mice, ferrets, NHP) 2 • Placebo - controlled trials would be unethical and not feasible • Preclinical studies used commonly accepted flu models (mice, ferrets and non - human primates) • Positive Phase 1 safety/dosing escalation data (healthy volunteers) includes dose levels that were protective in animal studies • Maintained plasma levels above the EC 90 for more than 3 weeks, with good overall safety Requires Adequate and Well - Controlled Animal Studies Exceptional Pathogenic Potential Human Safety and Pharmacokinetics are Required 43

 

 

Phase 2a Seasonal/Pandemic Flu Study Design 44 Expected to enroll ~150 influenza - positive subjects 18 - 65 years of age Expected to incorporate five dosing groups (n=30 each): • TXM dose level 1 (seasonal) • TXM dose level 2 (seasonal) • TXM dose level 2 (H5N1) • Baloxavir marboxil (seasonal) • Oseltamivir (H5N1) Evaluate two dose levels of TXM versus baloxavir marboxil in seasonal influenza and TXM versus oseltamivir in H5N1 influenza; assess time to symptom relief, safety, virology, with follow - up out to 28 days Randomized, double - blind, controlled, international non - inferiority study to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and activity of a one - time dose of TXM in subjects with acute, uncomplicated, community - acquired influenza compared to standard of care, or TXM for subjects with confirmed H5N1 influenza Study Design Subjects Overall objectives Dosing
