<p style="border:none;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="border:none;font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Our achievements year-to-date reflect our dual commitment to addressing the unmet medical needs of people living with rare genetic disorders of obesity and raising awareness and understanding of these conditions,&#148; said Keith Gottesdiener, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Rhythm. &#147;In addition to advancing our ongoing clinical trials of setmelanotide across six melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) pathway deficiencies, we expanded our pipeline with the in-licensing of RM-853, a preclinical ghrelin o-acyltransferase (GOAT) inhibitor for the treatment of PWS that may have benefit both as a single agent or in combination with setmelanotide.&#160; We are on track to complete enrollment in our Phase 3 trial in POMC deficiency obesity by the end of the second quarter, and are particularly encouraged by the rate of enrollment in our Phase 3 trial in leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency obesity, which we initiated earlier this year.</font></p>

<p style="border:none;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="border:none;font-size:10.0pt;">Dr.&nbsp;Gottesdiener continued, &#147;We are also pleased that the FDA agreed that BBS and Alstr&#246;m Syndrome are included under our existing BTD for setmelanotide, underscoring the need for medicines that effectively address the excess hunger and weight gain associated with rare genetic disorders of obesity. We look forward to continuing our work with physicians and the broader community to improve the diagnosis of, and ultimately treat, people living with these conditions.&#148;</font></p>

All three patients treated with setmelanotide experienced reductions in excess hunger, also referred to as hyperphagia, and body-weight. The data show that setmelanotide was well-tolerated. The publication also detailed the results of <i>in vitro</i> analyses that provide insight into setmelanotide&#146;s activity at the MC4R, suggesting that it may rescue specific MC4R mutations where the natural ligand cannot.</font></p>
