MOMENTUM AXS-07 MOMENTUM Phase 3 Trial: Summary of Topline Results • AXS-07 is a novel, oral, multi-mechanistic investigational medicine for the acute treatment of migraine • MOMENTUM enrolled only patients with a history of inadequate response to prior acute treatments and incorporated rizatriptan as an active comparator: – Rizatriptan is considered the fastest acting triptan, and one of the most effective migraine treatments • AXS-07 met both co-primary endpoints, and key secondary endpoint (component contribution) • AXS-07 provided substantially greater and more sustained migraine pain relief compared to rizatriptan and placebo • Rapidly relieved migraine pain • Significantly reduced use of rescue medication compared to rizatriptan • AXS-07 was safe and well tolerated • Positive MOMENTUM trial supports NDA filing of AXS-07 in the acute treatment of migraine, anticipated in 2020 © Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. 5

Migraine Migraine: Disabling Disease in Need of New Treatments • The W orld Health Organization classifies severe migraine attacks as among the most disabling illnesses, comparable to dementia, quadriplegia and active psychosis1,2 • Debilitating pain, and the often-constant fear of the next migraine attack, damage family life, social life and employment3 • Depression and anxiety are twice as common in people with migraine than in healthy individuals4 • W idespread misperception of the seriousness of migraine contributes to its under-recognition and under-treatment3 • The majority of patients are not fully satisfied with their current treatment5 There is an urgent need for new treatments that provide improved efficacy for this serious neurological disease 1Menken et al.
