ASLAN announces resumption of patient recruitment into its ASLAN004 atopic dermatitis study

On August 24, 2020, ASLAN Pharmaceuticals Limited (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the resumption of patient recruitment into its randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multiple ascending dose (MAD) study of ASLAN004 in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

ASLAN paused recruitment of new patients on 13 April 2020 in line with government restrictions enforced in Singapore to contain the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Patients are now being recruited into the second of three dose cohorts at all screening sites in Singapore. To accelerate recruitment, ASLAN is in the process of opening additional study sites in Australia and the US.

ASLAN expects to report interim, unblinded data from all 3 dose cohorts in 4Q 2020.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
