HRO350 in mild-to-moderate psoriasis The HeROPA phase 2b clinical trial
Attachment to stock exchange release November 4th 2025

{1}------------------------------------------------

Psoriasis severity assessments and inflammation measured in blood
PASI is a measure of skin symptoms, SII reflects systemic inflammation and immune status of the patient1

Comments
PASI: The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index
• 0–72-point scale where < 10 is mild-moderate disease14
All patients in HeROPA had a PASI 3-10 at start
SII: Systemic Immune-inflammation Index – a biomarker which correlates with psoriasis severity and disease activation2-8
SII < 500 may reflect mild-to-moderate inflammation
Half of the patients in the HeROPA trial had SII > 506, associated higher systemic inflammation
Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII) reflects systemic inflammation and immune activation, SII = (Neutrophils × Platelets) / Lymphocytes

HRO350 reduced systemic inflammation in the HeROPA trial
SII post-hoc analyses on all patients in per-protocol population

Comments
PGA is a measure of psoriasis skin symptoms:
• PGA 0/1 "clear-or-almost clear skin"
Systemic inflammation is measured in blood:
• 25% reduction in SII
Reducing inflammation is beneficial for patients with inflammatory conditions
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). DLQI 0/1 means skin symptoms have "no effect at all on patient's life"
Systemic Immune-inflammation Index (SII) reflects systemic inflammation and immune activation. SII = (Neutrophils × Platelets) / Lymphocytes Preliminary analyses, data on fileHeROPA preliminary analyses, Data-on-file. Efficacy and Safety Study of HRO350 in Patients with Mild-to-moderate Psoriasis (the 'HeROPA' Study) ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06125808
PP: Per Protocol population who completed 52 weeks: n = 272. Data as observed.
*: Statistically significant difference to placebo with p < 0.005. **: Statistically significant difference to placebo with p < 0.01
Static PGA (sPGA) measures physician's impression at a single time point. Static form is standard due to reliability. PGA 0/1 means the physician assesses the patient as "clear-or-almost clear skin.

Systemic inflammatory state impacted response in the HeROPA trial
Patients with mild-to-moderate inflammation (SII ≦ 506) at baseline showed significant improvements in skin symptoms (PGA), and clinically relevant improvement in inflammation

Half the patients in the HeROPA trial had a SII under 506, where the two lower quartiles align with lower systemic inflammation, associated with mild-moderate psoriasis
Reduction in SII appear before changes in skin symptoms
SII may be useful to evaluate in patients in future clinical trials
PP: Per Protocol population who completed 52 weeks: n = 272. Patients with SII ≦ 506 at baseline (lower two quartiles: n = 261, Data as observed. *: Statistically significant difference to placebo with p < 0.005. ***: Statistically significant difference to placebo with p < 0.001

{4}------------------------------------------------

Age and weight impacted response in the HeROPA trial
Response rates higher in patients with weight $\leq$ 98 kg Placebo rates lower in patients age $\geq$ 50 years

Comments
PGA 0/1 means "clear-or-almost clear skin"
All patients had PGA scores $\geq 2$ and $\leq 4$ at inclusion
Placebo rates lower in patients age ≥ 50 years (median age)
Effect rate higher in patients with weight ≤ 98 kg (lower three weight quartiles)
PP: Per Protocol population who completed 52 weeks: n = 272. Data as observed. *: Statistically significant difference to placebo with p < 0.005
