ASLAN management will present new data from the interim analysis of the TREK-DX studyRegister to attend the webinar event on May 7, 2024 at 8:00 AM ET. SAN MATEO, Calif. and SINGAPORE, April 30, 2024 — ASLAN Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ASLN), a clinical-stage, immunology-focused biopharmaceutical company developing innovative treatments to transform the lives of patients, today announced that it will host a virtual Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Event, “Treatment Options for Atopic Dermatitis Patients with an Inadequate Response to Dupilumab: Exploring the Potential of Eblasakimab in this Sizable New Market”, to be held on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 from 8:00 AM ET to 9:00 AM ET. The event will feature a discussion with Lisa Beck, MD from University of Rochester, Peter Lio, MD from Northwestern University, and Raj Chovatiya, MD, PhD from Rosalind Franklin University Chicago Medical School, moderated by Seth Orlow, MD, PhD from New York University, on the recently announced positive interim results from ASLAN’s Phase 2 TREK-DX study of eblasakimab, a potential first-in-class biologic candidate, in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) that had previously been treated with dupilumab. Panelists will discuss this growing new market and the treatment options available to patients with an inadequate response to dupilumab. Company management will also present new data from the interim analysis of the TREK-DX study. Eblasakimab is a novel monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-13 receptor subunit of the Type 2 receptor, a key pathway driving several allergic inflammatory diseases. Interim data from TREK-DX, a first-of-its-kind study of dupilumab-experienced AD patients, shows eblasakimab may have the potential to be highly effective in AD patients even if dupilumab has not been. A live question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. Register to attend the webcast or watch the replay of the event. About Lisa Beck, MD Lisa Beck, MD is the Lowell & Carol Goldsmith Professor of Dermatology, with secondary appointments in Medicine (Allergy, Immunology, Rheumatology) & Pathology. She has a longstanding interest in atopic dermatitis (AD) focusing on the dynamic interaction between skin epithelial abnormalities and the innate and type 2 immune inflammation. She was the first to describe and characterize epidermal tight junction (TJ) defects in patients with AD. Dr. Beck is the Co-Director of the URMC Center for Allergic Disease Research. She is secretary of the International Eczema Council since 2014, emeritus member of National Eczema Association’s Scientific Advisory committee, and Past – President of the Society of Investigative Dermatology. She was lead author of the 2014 NEJM paper that set the stage for FDA approval of dupilumab, the first biologic used to treat patients with moderate to severe AD. She has had continuous NIH funding since 1994 and has also received funding from foundations and industry. She has been co-PI of the NIH/NIAID-funded Atopic Dermatitis Research Network (ADRN) since its inception in 2004, which has amassed the largest registry and biobank of deeply phenotyped AD subjects in the world (housed at URMC).

About eblasakimab Eblasakimab is a potential first-in-class monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-13 receptor subunit of the Type 2 receptor, a key pathway driving several allergic inflammatory diseases. Eblasakimab’s unique mechanism of action enables specific blockade of the Type 2 receptor and has the potential to improve upon current biologics used to treat allergic disease, and has reported positive topline data from a Phase 2b dose-ranging study in moderate-to-severe AD patients. ASLAN is currently investigating eblasakimab in dupilumab-experienced, moderate-to-severe AD patients in the TREK-DX Phase 2 trial, with topline data expected at the end of 2024. ASLAN is also developing farudodstat, a potent oral inhibitor of the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) as a potential first-in-class treatment for alopecia areata (AA) in a Phase 2a, proof-of-concept trial with an interim readout expected in Q3 2024. ASLAN has teams in San Mateo, California, and in Singapore. For additional information please visit the or follow ASLAN on . Forward-look
