and Drug Administration (FDA) of an administrative delay to the scheduled pre-IND meeting for NNZ-

About Neuren
Neuren is developing new drug therapies to treat multiple serious neurological disorders that emerge in
early childhood and have no or limited approved treatment options.
DAYBUE™ (trofinetide) is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada for
the treatment of Rett syndrome. Neuren has granted an exclusive worldwide licence to Acadia
Pharmaceuticals Inc. for the development and commercialisation of trofinetide.
Neuren’s second drug candidate, NNZ-2591, is in development for multiple neurodevelopmental
disorders, with positive results achieved in Phase 2 clinical trials in Phelan-McDermid syndrome, Pitt
Hopkins syndrome and Angelman syndrome. Recognising the urgent unmet need, each program has
been granted “orphan drug” designation in the United States and the European Union. Orphan drug
designation provides incentives to encourage development of therapies for rare and serious diseases.
