Pipeline highlights

In Hemato-Oncology

Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) -- MaaT013

   -- In January 2025, the Company announced positive topline results from the 
      pivotal Phase 3 ARES Study evaluating MaaT013 in aGvHD. The study met its 
      primary endpoint with a significant gastrointestinal overall response 
      rate at Day 28 of 62% and demonstrates the unprecedented efficacy of 
      MaaT013 as third-line treatment of aGvHD with gastrointestinal 
      involvement (GI-aGvHD) consistent with previously communicated EAP 
      results. The Company anticipates MAA submission in Europe in June 2025. 
 
   -- In March 2025, the Company received positive opinion from EMA Pediatric 
      Committee on the Pediatric Investigation Plan for MaaT013, a key 
      milestone achieved towards the MAA submission to the EMA. 
 
   -- In March 2025, the Company received a positive outcome from the final 
      DSMB meeting on ARES Phase 3 trial, confirming the remarkable efficacy 
      results and positive risk/benefit profile of MaaT013 in third-line aGvHD. 
 
   -- Earlier this year, the Company announced its intent to partner the 
      distribution of MaaT013 in Europe, while retaining MaaT013 rights in the 
      U.S. 

Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (allo-HSCT) - MaaT033

   -- In January 2025, the Company announced that the DSMB completed its second 
      safety assessment of the Phase 2b trial PHOEBUS and recommended 
      continuation of the trial without modification. 
 
   -- In April 2025, the Company announced the positive outcome of a key DSMB 
      safety interim analysis for the Phase 2b trial PHOEBUS. As a result of 
      their unblinded analysis, the DSMB recommended the trial to proceed as 
      planned, showing no excessive mortality related to MaaT033 as of today. 
      This additional positive outcome further reinforces MaaT033's safety 
      profile and supports MaaT033's integration in the allo-HSCT setting 
      without significant risks of severe adverse events. 

In Immuno-Oncology

MaaT034 - Next-generation drug candidates with co-cultured technology (MET-C platform)

   -- In April 2025, MaaT Pharma presented promising preclinical data for 
      MaaT034 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual 
      Meeting 2025, demonstrating strong anti-tumor efficacy and immune 
      activation in germ-free mice. 

MaaT013-- Proof-of-Concept trials with donor derived drugs (MET-N platform)

   -- MaaT013 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2a randomized clinical 
      trial (NCT04988841) (PICASSO) sponsored by AP-HP and in collaboration 
      with INRAE and Institut Gustave Roussy, in combination with immune 
      checkpoint inhibitors $(ICI.AU)$, ipilimumab (Yervoy$(R)$) and nivolumab 
      (Opdivo(R)), in metastatic melanoma patients. The Company provided its 
      MaaT013 drug candidate and placebo and contributes to the microbiome 
      profiling of patients using its proprietary gutPrint(R) AI research 
      engine, while the trial investigator sponsor handled recruitment, 
      treatment and oversee data collection and analysis. Data readout is 
      expected in H2 2025. 

In Neurodegenerative Diseases

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) - MaaT033

   -- In May 2025, MaaT Pharma announced positive final Phase 1b results for 
      MaaT033 in ALS, showing a favorable safety and tolerability profile 
      supported by biomarker and microbiome analyses. Rapid and sustained 
      microbial engraftment was observed, along with a slower rate of disease 
      progression (ALSFRS-R slope to be interpreted with caution. The Company 
      is seeking a partner to further advance clinical evaluation in ALS. 

Corporate update

   -- In April 2025, the Company announced the initiation of coverage of its 
      stock by H.C. Wainwright & Co. With a research report named "In With the 
      Gut and Out With the Bad in GvHD; Initiating at Buy With a EUR21 PT", 
      H.C. Wainwright & Co initiated a Buy recommendation and a Target Price of 
      EUR21.
