FDA Type C Meeting Informs Future Efzofitimod Development Background EFZO-FIT missed its primary endpoint but demonstrated a safety profile consistent with previous trials and durable benefit on multiple clinically meaningful, prespecified quality of life measures aTyr was granted a Type C meeting to discuss the EFZO-FIT data, clinical development plan and validation of KSQ-L as a fit-for-purpose endpoint for pulmonary sarcoidosis Discussion focused on: Endpoints (FVC; KSQ-L) Our rationale for FVC as endpoint in target patient population Dosing (Q3W) Safety monitoring Benefit / risk profile FDA Type C Meeting Meeting objective: align on the path forward for efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis Abbreviations: FDA, Food and Drug Administration; KSQ-L, King’s Sarcoidosis Questionnaire-Lung; FVC, forced vital capacity | © 2026 aTyr Pharma

FDA Type C Meeting Informs Future Efzofitimod Development FDA indicated support for FVC and KSQ-L as clinically meaningful endpoints in pulmonary sarcoidosis FDA indicated FVC to be a direct measure of how patients function FDA indicated KSQ-L to be a direct measure of how patients feel, and recommended the inclusion of wheezing and cough severity as separate measures of patient symptoms along with new anchors to interpret the clinically meaningful threshold, based on further content validation Our conclusion: FVC is a more appropriate primary endpoint for C-006, considering FDA has not fully endorsed KSQ-L as fit-for-purpose FDA reviewed data presenting the rationale for utilizing FVC as an endpoint in the target population for C-006 based on data from EFZO-FIT FDA Type C Meeting Meeting outcome: Company to continue development of efzofitimod in pulmonary sarcoidosis incorporating FDA feedback; Company to pursue with new Phase 3 study (C-006) Abbreviations: FDA, Food and Drug Administration; KSQ-L, King’s Sarcoidosis Questionnaire-Lung; FVC, forced vital capacity | © 2026 aTyr Pharma

Sarcoidosis has Heterogenous Lung Phenotypes; FVC Relevant Only in Restrictive Phenotype EFZO-FIT DATA EFZO-FIT enrolled all pulmonary phenotypes; C-006 will create a more homogenous patient population by focusing on one lung phenotype *Sharp M, et al. Ann Am Thorac Soc. 2023 Jan;20(1):30-37. Need citation detail. Phenotypes based on z scores, IE criteria will be based on FVCpp and FEV1/FVC ratio and organized hierarchically.
