| SUMMARY • TP-2021 is a highly selective and potent kappa opioid receptor agonist • TP-2021 shows similar anti-pruritic efficacy and potency to Difelikefalin when delivered by subcutaneous injection • Low dose subdermal TP-2021-ProNeura implants show anti-pruritic efficacy, which diminishes after 2 weeks • A single high-dose TP-2021-ProNeura implant shows sustained anti-pruritic efficacy, thus far through Day 56, with further efficacy assessments continuing

| CONCLUSION • TP-2021-ProNeura implants present a viable solution for treatment of chronic pruritus and related conditions for potentially 6 months or longer • A single administration of TP-2021-ProNeura implant could potentially abrogate the need for daily administration, even if a peptide with oral bioavailability is therapeutically achievable
