“With patient enrollment now complete in the pivotal Phase 3 ONWARD program for plaque psoriasis and the Phase 2b LUMUS trial in SLE, Alumis has achieved key clinical milestones for envudeucitinib, or “envu” (formerly known as ESK-001), and we look forward to topline data from ONWARD expected in early Q1 2026, and LUMUS topline data expected to follow in Q3 2026,” said Martin Babler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alumis. “We continue to move forward on all fronts with momentum and a clear focus on advancing a differentiated pipeline of immune-mediated treatments. With the completion of our merger with ACELYRIN, we are well positioned to drive our programs through key inflection points in the next 12 months."

Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights, and Anticipated Milestones

Envudeucitinib Progress

Envudeucitinib designated generic name for ESK-001
oThe United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council has officially designated “envudeucitinib” as the nonproprietary name for Alumis’ investigational therapy ESK-001, marking a step forward in its regulatory and clinical development. The Company will use this generic name, envudeucitinib, or “envu” to refer to ESK-001 going forward.
Completed patient enrollment in the Phase 2b global LUMUS clinical trial of envudeucitinib (or envu, formerly known as ESK-001) for the treatment of SLE
oThe global LUMUS Phase 2b trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating multiple doses of envu in adults with moderately-to-severely active, autoantibody-positive SLE. The trial enrolled 408 patients who are receiving envu or placebo for 48 weeks. The primary endpoint will be to assess improvements in overall

disease activity using the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group-based Composite Lupus Assessment (“BICLA”) at Week 48. After the trial, eligible patients may participate in an open-label extension or complete a four-week safety follow-up.
oTopline data from LUMUS are expected in the third quarter of 2026.
Completed patient enrollment in the pivotal Phase 3 global ONWARD clinical program of envu for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis
oThe Phase 3 ONWARD clinical program consists of two parallel global Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled 24-week clinical trials, ONWARD1 and ONWARD2, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of envu in adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. ONWARD3, an optional long-term extension trial for patients who have completed Week 24, is currently ongoing to assess the durability, maintenance of response, and long-term safety of envu.
oTopline data from ONWARD1 and ONWARD2 are expected early in the first quarter of 2026.

Pipeline Updates

A-005, potentially first-in-class fully CNS-penetrant TYK2 inhibitor for the treatment of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases
oA-005 continues to advance towards Phase 2 clinical trial initiation with CMC and pharmacology activities on track, and ongoing preclinical and genetic research efforts to support potential expansion into additional neurodegenerative indications.
oResources required to support the successful acceleration of clinical trial enrollment for envudeucitinib have resulted in an adjustment to pipeline program timelines. A-005 is anticipated to enter a Phase 2 clinical trial in multiple sclerosis in the first half of 2026.
Third development program based on precision R&D approach
oAlumis continues to leverage its proprietary data analytics and research platform to advance discovery programs that target key drivers of immune-mediated diseases. In addition to its two clinical-stage TYK2 inhibitor programs, the Company continues to evaluate additional development programs against undisclosed targets in preclinical studies.
oAlumis anticipates Phase 1 clinical data from the next program in the second half of 2026.
Lonigutamab, next-generation subcutaneous anti-IGF-1R therapy for the treatment of TED
oThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Fast Track Designation to lonigutamab for the treatment of thyroid eye disease (TED). This designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need.
oThe lonigutamab development program continues to be evaluated.

Corporate Highlights

Promoted Sanam Pangali to Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary
oMs. Pangali brings nearly two decades of legal expertise through senior legal roles at companies across the biopharmaceutical, technology, and renewable energy industries. Sanam most recently served as Senior Vice President, Legal of Alumis, and an invaluable member of the senior leadership team.
Completed merger with ACELYRIN, Inc. (“ACELYRIN”) to strengthen financial position and support advancement of late-stage immunology pipeline
oMerger strengthened balance sheet to support advancement of Alumis’ differentiated late-stage pipeline through multiple planned key data readouts

General and administrative expenses were $34.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to transaction costs, severance costs and stock-based compensation expense related to the merger with ACELYRIN, and personnel-related expenses and professional consulting services to support the Company’s growth.
Net income was $59.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, including a non-operating gain of $187.9 million related to the merger with ACELYRIN, compared to a net loss of $56.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
The Company recognized total expenses related to the merger with ACELYRIN of $26.8 million and $34.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, of which $20.1 million and $27.8 million related to general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $6.7 million related to research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
