Slide 1: Presentation of RP11 Clinical Trial Data at ARVO Conference
31 October 6 May 2024 2022 PRESENTATION OF RP11 CLINICAL TRIAL DATA AT ARVO CONFERENCE • PYC is conducting clinical trials of the first investigational drug candidate with disease-modifying potential in a blinding eye disease of childhood called Retinitis Pigmentosa type 11 (RP11) • PYC is currently
Slide 2: A/Prof. Chen will also present data from one patient within cohort 3
A/Prof. Chen will also present data from one patient within cohort 3 (30 micrograms of VP-001) of the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study. This patient is notable for the fact that they are at an earlier stage of disease progression than the other patients enrolled in the SAD study. Assessment of the

Slide 5: Executive Summary – Update on VP-001 for RP11
Executive Summary – Update on VP-001 for RP11 Introduction to VP-001 for RP11 1. RP11 is a progressive and blinding eye disease for which there are no treatments available for patients 2. RP11 is caused by insufficient expression of one gene (PRPF31) in the retina 3. VP-001 addresses the underlying

Slide 8: VP-001 addresses the underlying cause of RP11 and leads to functional benefit
3. VP-001 addresses the underlying cause of RP11 and leads to functional benefit in patient-derived cell and organoid models 1. VP-001 is capable of completely rescuing the haploinsufficiency responsible for causing the disease in patient-derived models a) Upregulation of PRPF31 mRNA in RP11 iPSC-RP
