Key Highlights • Interim clinical data supports Evelo’s platform opportunity and vision • EDP1815 and EDP1066 were well tolerated • EDP1815 in psoriasis • Reduction in mean Lesion Severity Score vs. placebo • Consistent skin and blood immune cell biomarker responses • Advancing into Phase 2 in early 2020 • EDP1066 in psoriasis • Pharmacodynamic responses on blood immune cell biomarkers at high dose • No further development in psoriasis • Investigating more potent formulation in atopic dermatitis patients in ongoing study 3


 
EDP1815 in Psoriasis 4


 
Targeting EDP1815 to Address Unmet Needs of Psoriasis Patients Mild Moderate Severe 71% 22% 7% • Future opportunity to treat any stage of disease given differentiated profile of Evelo’s oral biologics • Initial focus on mild to moderate populations with potential to address over 3.5 millionof these patients in US and EU5 and expand globally (2018 company-sponsored market research; EU consisting of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK 5


 
EDP1815 Low Dose Psoriasis Cohort • 12 patients with mild to moderate psoriasis • Randomized 2:1 (active:placebo) with 550mg dose (enteric capsule formulation) for 28 days; daily oral administration • Primary endpoint of safety and tolerability • EDP1815 was well tolerated with no overall difference reported from placebo • Signal finding study, low dose and short duration of dosing 6


 
Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints Reported • Lesion Severity Score • Cellular biomarkers from skin biopsies • Blood immune cell biomarkers of cytokine production 7


 
Lesion Severity Score is a Sensitive Clinical Measure • Clinical measure of disease change in psoriasis • Lesion Severity Score is a component of the PASI scoring system • Uses the same underlying changes as lesion severity element of the PASI score • Tracks an individual lesion across dosing period • Measures redness, thickness and scaling on a 12-point scale • Sensitive short-term measure in patients with mild to moderate disease 8


 
Statistically Significant Reduction in Lesion Severity Score Mean change (+/- SE) in lesion severity score over dosing period 9


 
Patient Data Showed Reduction in Lesion Severity Score of 0-67% 25% 0% Percent change in Group lesion severity score at −25% Placebo end of dosing period EDP1815 −50% −75% 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ID 10


 
Reductions in Skin Cellular Biomarkers were Consistent with Improvement in Lesion Severity Score • Psoriasis pathology is driven by epithelial hyperplasia • Reductions observed in basal Mean (+/- SE) change in basal epithelium mitotic epithelium mitotic counts across cell count over dosing period (cells/mm2) patients dosed with EDP1815 11


 
Reduction in Blood Immune Cell Cytokine Production Indicative of a Systemic Anti-inflammatory Response Changes over Dosing Period in Cytokine Production After Stimulation of Blood Immune Cells with Lipopolysaccharide • Reduction in systemic cytokine Increased Production Increased production consistent with clinical signal and histological biomarkers • No reduction observed in placebo Decreased production Decreased Cytokines detected: IL10, IL8, TNFα, IL6, IL1B, IFN-γ Decrease or increase in cytokine production defined as a change of 2 pg/ml over dosing period 12


 
Positive Interim Data for 1st Cohort with Low Dose Over 28 Days Supports Advancing into Phase 2 • EDP1815 was well tolerated with no overall difference reported from placebo • Statistically significant reduction vs. placebo in Lesion Severity Score • Reduction in Lesion Severity Score of 0-67% in patients dosed with EDP1815 • Cellular biomarker changes consistent with reduction in Lesion Severity Score • Reduction in blood immune cell cytokine production indicative of a systemic anti- inflammatory response 13


 
Planning for EDP1815 Phase 2 and Indication Expansion Placebo-controlled dose and formulation optimization study in mild to moderate psoriasis patients planned for early 2020 initiation • Primary endpoint: change in PASI score at 24 weeks • Interim analysis at 12 weeks Part A Part B Goal: Formulation selection Goal: Dose selection n~180, 3 arms, original formulation vs. n~250, 4 arms, 3 different doses of optimal new formulation vs. placebo formulation vs. placebo Opportunity to expand into additional diseases following Part A interim analysis 14


 
Novel Formulation was Up to 30-fold More Potent Preclinically 15


 
EDP1066 in Psoriasis 16


 
Dose-dependent Response Observed on Blood Immune Cell Cytokine Production in Phase 1b Clinical Trial • EDP1066 was well tolerated with no overall difference reported from placebo • Reduction in blood immune cell cytokines which indicates a pharmacodynamic response in patients at the high dose; no effect at low dose • Evidence that EDP1066 may modulate systemic immunology • No effects observed on cellular biomarkers or clinical measures of disease at either dose 17


 
Reduction in Blood Immune Cell Cytokine Production Indicate a Pharmacodynamic Response at High Dose Changes over Dosing Period in Cytokine Production After Stimulation of Blood Immune Cells with Lipopolysaccharide • 3.3g EDP1066 dose group caused a Increased Production Increased decreased production of cytokines • No reduction observed in patients receiving the 660mg dose of EDP1066 or placebo Decreased production Decreased Cytokines detected: IL10, IL8, TNFα, IL6, IL1B, IFN-γ Decrease or increase in cytokine production defined as a change of 2 pg/ml over dosing period 18


 
Next Steps for EDP1066 • Focusing current Phase 1b trial on investigating activity of new formulation in atopic dermatitis • Data from 24 patient atopic dermatitis cohort with new formulation expected early 2020 • No further development in psoriasis 19
