• Galactosemia is a condition in which the body cannot use (metabolize) the simple sugar galactose.

• Pharmacokinetic analysis of AT-007 plasma drug levels at day 30 revealed that dosing could be further optimized by adjusting dose based on weight rather than age.

• The Company expects to present additional biomarker data at the optimized drug levels. Due to the changes, the Company now plans to submit a US marketing application in Q4 of 2021, against Q3 of 2021.

• Biomarker results demonstrate a substantial reduction in plasma galactitol of approximately 35% after 30 days of treatment, which was statistically significant vs. placebo.

• AT-007 was safe and well-tolerated in children of all ages (2-17). Additionally, analysis of the 47 children in the ACTION-Galactosemia Kids study demonstrated a clear correlation between baseline galactitol level and baseline clinical, functional outcomes.

• Complete data will be presented at a future medical conference.

• Price Action: APLT shares are down 1.90% at $15.01 during the market session on the last check Thursday.
