  3. JBT101-SSc-001 PHASE 2 TRIAL DESIGN • Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study (Part A) • 9 clinical sites in the U.S. • Adults ages 18 to 70 with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc) • Inclusive eligibility criteria • Disease duration ≤ 3 years with any modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), or • Disease duration > 3 and ≤ 6 years if mRSS ≥ 16, mRSS increased ≥ 5 points in the last 6 months, or elevated IL-6 or CRP • Immunosuppressive medications allowed • ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02465437 3

  4. DURATION AND DOSING • 2:1 overall ratio of JBT-101:placebo • 16 week study, 12 weeks of active dosing • Weeks 1-4: Dose response for biomarkers, plasma concentrations, and safety. JBT-101 5 mg once a day, JBT-101 20 mg once a day, JBT-101 20 mg twice daily or placebo in 2:2:2:3 randomization. Overall 2:1 randomization of JBT-101:placebo • Weeks 5-12: Single high dose JBT-101 to test efficacy and safety, JBT-101 20 mg twice daily or placebo, 2:1 randomization of JBT-101:placebo • Weeks 13-16: Follow-up off drug • Safety Assessments: Day 1, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 • Efficacy Assessments: Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 4

  5. OBJECTIVES Primary Objectives • Evaluate safety and tolerability • Evaluate efficacy, using the American College of Rheumatology Combined Response Index in diffuse cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (CRISS) score Secondary Objectives • Evaluate efficacy using categories of CRISS response and each CRISS domain • Evaluate efficacy with other patient-reported outcomes 5

  6. CRISS SCORE Description Advantages Single number between 0-1 or 0-100% that indicates overall Measures overall improvement, not just improvement from baseline. Has floor and ceiling for responses improvement in skin or lungs Developed to reflect physician assessment of overall Endorsed by the American College of improvement Rheumatology (Khanna et al, Arthritis Rheumatol. 2016; 68:299) Score includes change from baseline in five domains Rewards for improvement in more than one • Two physician assessments – skin thickness (mRSS) and domain and penalizes for worsening in any physician global assessment (MDGA) domain. Subject must improve more than • Two patient assessments – Health Assessment Questionnaire worsen to achieve CRISS score > 0. Disability-Index (HAQ-DI) and patient global assessment (PtGA) • Forced vital capacity (FVC) The domains of mRSS, FVC, % predicted, MDGA, and HAQ-DI all are associated with survival (Tyndall et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2010;69:1809; Harel et al, J Rheumatol 2016; 43:1510; Sultan et al, Rheumatology 2004;43:472) 6

  7. SAMPLE SIZE Efficacy • Not formally powered for efficacy • Small, first-in-SSc Phase 2 study of JBT-101. Efficacy would be unexpected in such a trial • No JBT-101 experience upon which to calculate sample size • Improvement, not worsening, is expected effect of JBT-101 on SSc, therefore one-sided statistical analyses are justified in this small, first-in-SSc trial Safety • At least 95% probability of detecting adverse events that occur at a true rate of 12% or higher over 12 weeks dosing 7

  16. CHANGE IN MODIFIED RODNAN SKIN SCORE • Lower score = less skin involvement. Improvement is a reduction in score. • Estimates of the minimal important improvement in mRSS are between 3.2 – 5.2 points (Khanna et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2006;65:1325). mRSS Change from Baseline Previous Comparator Trials mRSS, mean (SD) 1 change from Drug N Time Change in mRSS, LS means ±SE baseline 0 P 2 = 0.085 Active Placebo -1 Six drug trials, all 492 ~26 weeks -2.9 (7.2) -2 subjects combined 3 -3 Tocilizumab 4 77 24 weeks -3.9 -1.2 -4 Cyclophosphamide 5 84 52 weeks -5.3 -1.7 -5 24.0 (9.8) 7 Baseline Mycophenolate 6 93 -6 12 weeks 22.4 (8.9) 0 4 8 12 16 3 α interferon, d-penicillamine, relaxin Ph 2 and 3, minocycline, Week methotrexate, anti-TGF β , Merkel et al, Arthritis Rheum 2012;64:3420.
