Significant events during second quarter (April 1 – June 30, 2021)

  • On May 6, the company's annual general meeting was conducted solely through postal voting due to the covid-19 pandemic.
  • •In May, a scientific paper reporting the clinical phase I study results for drug candidate mesdopetam was published in the journal Pharmacology Research & Perspectives (PR&P). The published paper strengthens the growing scientific evidence of the drug candidate mesdopetam's significant potential in Parkinson's.
  • •In June, it was announced that equity research company Edison initiates coverage of the company.
  • •In mid-June, a scientific publication reporting the results from the clinical first-in-human study with pirepemat was published in the journal Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development (CPDD). Publication of results from preclinical and clinical studies are an important part of drug development and is at the center of the company's strategy to establish IRLAB's science and pipeline broadly academically as well as in the industry.

Significant events after end of period

•In July, it was announced that the global biopharmaceutical company Ipsen and IRLAB entered a licensing agreement, providing Ipsen exclusive worldwide development and commercial rights to mesdopetam, a novel investigational drug candidate for the treatment of dyskinesia and psychosis in Parkinson. IRLAB will continue to be responsible for the ongoing Phase IIb trial that started in autumn 2020. Ipsen will take over and drive the preparatory activities for the upcoming Phase III trial and will be responsible for all remaining clinical development and worldwide commercialization. IRLAB is eligible to receive up to \$363m, including a \$28m upfront payment, corresponding to approximately SEK 240m which has been paid out after the end of the reporting period, and up to \$335m in potential development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, plus tiered low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales.

Ipsen – an optimal partner for IRLAB

Ipsen shares IRLAB's broad vision for mesdopetam and its commitment for people with neurological diseases. Ipsen has a global presence with products in neurology, an experienced development and marketing organization and a strategy focusing on neurological diseases. This provides very good conditions for Ipsen to successfully bring mesdopetam to the market and achieve high sales. We are therefore very happy to be able to complete the final steps toward a market launch in a fully-funded partnership with just Ipsen. The agreement is also a clear external validation of our research platform, ISP, our drug development operations, and our business strategy.

The licensing agreement with Ipsen is one of the largest deals struck within Swedish biotech, which is a merit both for IRLAB and for those who have supported the mesdopetam project

to this milestone. It also shows that IRLAB has succeeded to deliver on the business strategy of developing drug candidates until proof-of-concept.

Another important outcome of the mesdopetam deal is that we can now allocate more resources to our other development projects; the upfront payment provides an immediate and significant reinforcement of our cash position and, in addition, Ipsen takes over the cost responsibility for the preparatory activities ahead of Phase III studies.

Ongoing Phase IIb/III study with mesdopetam

IRLAB will continue to be both financially and operationally responsible for completing the ongoing Phase IIb study with mesdopetam that is now ongoing in the US and Europe. In parallel, Ipsen will take over the work with the preparatory activities for Phase III studies. The transition time between Phase II and Phase III is thus minimized.

Phase IIb study with pirepemat

Pirepemat, the second drug candidate in our clinical pipeline, is the first in a completely new class of drugs discovered using our ISP technology. Pirepemat is being developed for the treatment of balance impairment and falls in Parkinson's. The aim is to give people with Parkinson's improved balance and prevent falls and fall injuries, which are commonly occurring, thus providing the opportunity for improved quality of life.

IRLAB is now intensifying the work on the upcoming Phase llb study. The drug candidate will be administered during 12-weeks to evaluate the effect on fall frequency compared with placebo.

Continued spotlight of IRLAB's projects through scientific publications

During the quarter, two new publications have been published in renowned scientific publications, which contrib-

During the first half of the year, the business delivered several successes that culminated in the exclusive global licensing agreement for mesdopetam with the pharmaceutical company Ipsen, which was signed in mid-July. This is a very impressive milestone in the company's history. According to the agreement, IRLAB is eligible to receive up to \$363 million, across an up-front of \$28 million and up to \$335 million in potential milestone payments. IRLAB is, in addition, entitled to royalties that increase in line with the global net sales. The deal is one of the largest made within Swedish biotech and provides us a completely new position to further increase the activities of the research platform ISP, focus on the pirepemat project and take our preclinical projects to clinical development and studies.

CEO:s comment "The licensing agreement with Ipsen is one of the largest deals struck within Swedish biotech, which is a merit both for IRLAB and for those who have supported the mesdopetam project to this milestone. It also shows that IRLAB has succeeded to deliver on the business strategy of developing drug candidates until proof-of-concept to then seek partnership."

NICHOLAS WATERS, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO)

utes to strengthening IRLAB's position within our business area. Both articles present the results from respective Phase I study with mesdopetam and pirepemat.

Outlook

Our business goal is to continue to expand and capitalize on the ISP platform, now with more resources than we previously have had available. We have evaluated application of AI methodology on our ISP database and the results support use of deep learning as a valuable addition to the machine learning methods we already use today in our systems biological research platform.

The iSP technology is the key to the rapid and successful development of our clinical drug candidates mesdopetam and pirepemat. We now know that our business development strategy clearly support our business model and we will continue to work towards new income generating opportunities. We also see that there may be commercial potential for an AI-based systems biological research platform and are evaluating the conditions to develop ISP to a dedicated business area.

Following the mesdopetam deal with Ipsen and our reinforced financial position, we can make new priorities in our investments. IRLAB will put an added focus on pirepemat. In addition, we have a solid portfolio of preclinical projects and drug candidates in our pipeline, discovered with the help of ISP, that we now will bring forward through preclinical development toward Phase I clinical studies. The company is currently in an expansion phase, and we will during the year recruit more new colleagues with specialist competence in R&D, market, analysis and within administrations.

Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic

Concerning our clinical programs, we see indications that the situation at healthcare providers in certain countries and regions is under pressure, which affects the hospitals' ability to participate in clinical trials. We also note that regulatory authorities have longer processing times. Combined, this may come to affect IRLAB's clinical trials. We therefore follow the situation closely and evaluate measures to minimize the impact on our projects and timelines.

CEO:s comment

Clinical phase

Tolerability, safety and efficacy studies.

Mesdopetam

Mesdopetam (IRL790) is being developed to prevent and treat levodopa-induced dyskinesias (troublesome involuntary movements, PD-LIDs) in Parkinson's disease. The aim is to reduce troublesome dyskinesias and then extend the daily time with good and controlled mobility, so-called "good ON-time". Mesdopetam also has antipsychotic properties, and is even being developed for Parkinson's (PD-P) psychoses.

Pirepemat

Pirepemat (IRL752) is being developed to improve balance and reduce falls in Parkinson's disease. Pirepemat is also being developed for the treatment of dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD-D).

Preclinical phase

Laboratory studies to meet the requirements for studies in the clinical phase.

IRL942 & IRL1009

The aim of these two drug candidates is to treat mental illness, as well as cognitive and motor disorders associated with neurodegenerative and age-related CNS diseases.

Discovery phase

Laboratory tests for discovering drug candidates. The P003 research program includes a group of molecules with the potential to be developed into drugs for the treatment of newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease.

*In development in partnership with Ipsen who has the global rights for development and commercialization

IRLAB's research and development portfolio

IRLAB's project portfolio consists of drug candidates in the clinical and preclinical development phase. The project portfolio is focused on developing new treatments for patients with Parkinson's disease. The project portfolio comprises a combination of the fully-funded mesdopetam program, run in collaboration with global partner Ipsen, as well as innovative in-house programs from preclinical to Phase IIb. All drug candidates have been developed with the help of the company's proprietary research platform, ISP.

Project portfolio

Mesdopetam (IRL790) is an antagonist of the dopamine D3 receptor and reduces the overactivity which, via the D3 receptor, leads to dyskinesias (involuntary movements) in Parkinson's disease. See the image of the mechanism of action of mesdopetam on the left.

Clinical development of mesdopetam

IRLAB has completed clinical Phase I, Phase Ib and Phase IIa studies with mesdopetam. Following positive results in the Phase I and Phase Ib studies, a clinical Phase IIa study was carried out on patients with Parkinson's disease and dyskinesias. The aim was to study the efficacy, safety and tolerability of mesdopetam in approximately 70 patients. Analyses of efficacy data indicate that mesdopetam can reduce dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease (PD-LIDs) without affecting other mobility in patients. The study results indicate that mesdopetam has good potential to help patients with Parkinson's disease to optimize their treatment with levodopa without risking dyskinesias. This increases the time of day when levodopa treatment helps with the basic symptoms (called "good ON-time") without the patient experiencing troublesome dyskinesias. Recent preclinical studies indicate that mesdopetam has further potential to be able to prevent the development of dyskinesias, which means that mesdopetam may be relevant for a larger group of patients.

Ongoing Phase IIb/III study

A Phase IIb/III study with mesdopetam in PD-LIDs was started at the end of 2020, and initial top-line results are expected during the first half of 2022. The study is designed to potentially form part of the final pivotal program, ie Phase III studies, which form the basis for regulatory marketing approval. In the study, a total of about 140 patients will be treated over three months, divided into four different groups: three dose levels of mesdopetam and a placebo group. The study's primary endpoint is the change in number of hours daily with good mobility without troublesome dyskinesias, so-called "good ON-time", which is measured through a patient diary. The study is conducted at clinics in both Europe and the United States and through the start of the study, the company's clinical development work was expanded to the US, which was an important strategic goal for the company.

IRLAB's development plan also includes further clinical studies to evaluate the effect of mesdopetam also on psychosis symptoms (PD-P). The start date for these is somewhat later than for the Phase IIb/III study within PD-LIDs.

Note 1. Accounting principles

The group applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and RFR 1 Supplementary accounting rules for groups when preparing financial reports. The parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities when preparing financial reports.

As of January 1, 2019, shareholder contributions rendered to subsidiaries that are intended to cover the subsidiaries' costs for research are expensed in the parent company. The cost is reported in the income statement under Profit from participations in group companies.

The management in the parent company thereby reflects the accounting in the group, where all costs for research are charged to the result. The opening balance remains unchanged as the company's assessment is that there is no need for impairment. Applied accounting principles corresponds to what appears in the Annual report 2020.

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

New and amended standards adopted from 2021 have not had any significant impact on the group's financial position.

Note 2. Risks and uncertainties

IRLAB Therapeutics' financial risk exposure and risk management are described on pages 93–94, and business risks described on pages 99–100, of the Annual Report 2020. No significant changes have occurred that affect the reported risk.

Covid-19

To date, the global pandemic has not had any significant direct effects on IRLAB's operational activities, results or financial position. Effects in the medium to long-term cannot yet be assessed, but the company is monitoring and evaluating the situation on an ongoing basis. There are, after split. The warrants may be exercised up to and including June 30, 2023. Upon full exercise of the warrants, share capital increases by SEK 3 935.50 through the issue of 196 775 Class A ordinary shares.

Note 6. Significant events after the closing date

In July, it was announced that the global biopharmaceutical company Ipsen and IRLAB entered a licensing agreement, providing Ipsen exclusive worldwide development and commercial rights to mesdopetam, a novel investigational drug candidate for the treatment of dyskinesia and psychosis in Parkinson. IRLAB will continue to be responsible for the ongoing Phase IIb trial that started in autumn 2020. Ipsen will take over and drive the preparatory activities for the upcoming Phase III trial and will be responsible for all remaining clinical development and worldwide commercialization. IRLAB is eligible to receive up to \$363m, including a \$28m upfront payment, corresponding to approximately SEK 240m which has been paid out after the end of the reporting period, and up to \$335m in potential development, regulatory and sales-based milestones, plus tiered low double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales.

however, indications that the situation at healthcare providers in certain countries and regions is under pressure, which affects the hospitals' ability to participate in clinical trials. Additionally, interactions have shown that regulatory authorities currently have longer processing times. Combined, this may come to affect IRLAB's clinical programs if the outbreak of covid-19 continues to strain global healthcare resources, and restrictions on individuals' freedom of movement is extended beyond what is known today. We therefore follow the situation closely and evaluate measures to minimize the impact on our projects and timelines.

Note 3. Related party transactions

With the exception of salaries and other remuneration to the executive management, as well as board fees in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, no transactions have taken place with related parties.

Note 4. Financial instruments

The group currently has no financial instruments that are valued at fair value, rather all financial assets and liabilities are valued at accrued acquisition value. It is judged that there are no significant differences between fair value and book value regarding the financial assets and liabilities. The carrying amount for financial assets on the closing date amounts to TSEK 229 593 (TSEK 201 784).

Note 5. Equity

Incentive program

In April 2016, a decision was taken on a share and warrant program for key personnel, both employees and board members.

A total of 39 355 warrants (196 775 after split) were subscribed for in the program to a subscription price that corresponded to the market value.

Warrant program

Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one Class A ordinary share at a subscription price of SEK 82.70 This interim report has not been reviewed by the company's auditors. The Board of Directors and the CEO assure that the interim report provides a fair overview of the parent company's and the group's operations, position and results, and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the company and the companies included in the group.
