<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>BOSTON, Massachusetts, May</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;9, 2019</B> &#150; resTORbio, Inc. (Nasdaq: TORC), today announced the initiation of PROTECTOR 1, the first
Phase 3 trial of RTB101, an orally administered, small molecule, potent inhibitor of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1). The two PROTECTOR Phase 3 trials are designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RTB101 for decreasing the percent of
elderly subjects with clinically symptomatic respiratory illness, defined as illness associated with a respiratory tract infection (RTI) based on prespecified diagnostic criteria, with or without laboratory-confirmation of a pathogen. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The launch of our PROTECTOR Phase 3 program is an important milestone for resTORbio and for the elderly population, as RTB101 has the potential to be
the first immunotherapy for reducing the incidence of illness associated with RTIs, regardless of the causative pathogen,&#148; said Chen Schor, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-Founder,</FONT> President and CEO of resTORbio. &#147;The majority
of RTIs are caused by viruses, and the results of our Phase 2 trials suggest that upregulation of innate antiviral gene expression is a mechanism underlying the reduced incidence of RTIs observed in elderly subjects treated with RTB101 compared to
placebo. We plan to enroll approximately 2,600 subjects in our Phase 3 trials, and believe this program will provide us with sufficient clinical data to support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for RTB101.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The PROTECTOR Phase 3 program includes two randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trials that
will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RTB101 10mg given once daily for 16 weeks during winter cold and flu season to subjects 65 years of age and older, excluding current smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. The primary
endpoint is the reduction in the percentage of subjects with clinically symptomatic respiratory illness with or without laboratory-confirmation of a pathogen. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The PROTECTOR program incorporates feedback from both the FDA and European Medicines Agency on key elements of the Phase&nbsp;3 trial design.
PROTECTOR&nbsp;1, initiated in the southern hemisphere, is expected to enroll approximately 1,000 subjects. PROTECTOR&nbsp;2, the second Phase&nbsp;3 clinical trial, is expected to begin in the northern hemisphere in the fourth quarter of 2019 and
to enroll approximately 1,600 subjects. Based on current enrollment expectations for the Phase 3 program, resTORbio expects <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">top-line</FONT> data in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-2020.</FONT> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About Respiratory Tract Infections in the Elderly </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As
part of the aging process, the immune system weakens and becomes less effective at detecting and fighting infections such as RTIs. As a result, RTIs are more likely to be of greater severity, prolonged duration, and are more likely to be associated
with medical complications in people age 65 years and older as compared to younger adults. In the U.S., RTIs are the fourth leading cause of hospitalization and seventh leading cause of death in people aged 65 and older. Given that RTIs are caused
by many different types of viruses, most of which lack effective therapies, there remains a significant unmet medical need for an immunotherapy that enhances the ability of the immune system to fight multiple viruses to reduce illness associated
with RTIs in the elderly. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About RTB101 </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">RTB101 is an
oral, selective, and potent TORC1 inhibitor product candidate. TORC1 inhibition has been shown to be of therapeutic benefit in multiple aging-related conditions in preclinical species including immunosenescence (aging-related decline in immune
function). In two Phase 2 clinical trials enrolling over 900 elderly people, RTB101 was observed to improve immune function by upregulation of antiviral gene expression and to reduce the incidence of RTIs. </P>
