Overview of Proteostasis Therapeutics, Inc.

PTI Overview Proprietary platform to develop novel therapeutics for diseases caused by dysfunctional protein processing Focus on increasing CFTR activity in patients with cystic fibrosis Developing proprietary triple combination therapy Novel Potentiator Next Generation Corrector Novel Class of CFTR Modulator: Amplifiers Initial data on triple combination anticipated in 2018

Cystic Fibrosis is One of the Most Common Life Limiting Genetic Diseases with No Known Cure 70,000 to 100,000: affected globally - majority in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia 29 years: median age of death in US Progressive disease: caused by gene mutations that encode CFTR, a protein that regulates ion flow at the cell surface Results: buildup of mucus in lungs, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract Vast majority of patients die of respiratory failure Therapeutic approach: revolutionized with the advent of CFTR modulators such as correctors and potentiators

Recent Triple Combination Data Suggest an FEV1 Improvement Ceiling Has Yet to be Reached VX-152 and VX-440 (F/F) data with teza/iva not shown.

CORRECTOR PTI Approach to Restoration of CFTR Activity is Uniquely Orthogonal to Approved Modulators Amplifiers, such as PTI-428, selectively increase the amount of immature CFTR protein in the cell, providing additional substrate for correctors and potentiators to act upon Potentiators, such as PTI-808 and KALYDECO® (ivacaftor), act by increasing the opening time of the CFTR channel, resulting in higher ion flow Correctors, such as PTI-801 and ORKAMBI® (lumacaftor/ ivacaftor), are thought to facilitate the processing of mutated CFTR protein substrate, leading to improved delivery to the cell membrane POTENTIATOR AMPLIFIER ORKAMBI® and KALYDECO® are registered trademarks of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc.

PTI-808 Increased CFTR Channel Gating Activity in vitro PTI-808 potentiates the gating activity of WT-CFTR by increasing mean channel open probability and mean channel open time, and by decreasing mean channel closed time. Combined treatment with PTI-808 and PTI-801 was similar to that observed with combined PTI-801 and ivacaftor at the same concentrations in HBE homozygous for F508del. Under chronic PTI-808 dosing conditions in combination with PTI-801, PTI-808 exhibited an EC50 of 6.1nM. PTI-808 potency was not affected by dosing chronically with PTI-801.

CFTR mRNA increase seen in healthy volunteer SAD 100 mg cohort (4x) Sustained increase in CFTR mRNA seen in healthy volunteer MAD 150 mg cohort (2.5x) The magnitude of CFTR mRNA changes in healthy volunteers mirrors those observed in vitro in HBE cells expressing mutated (2.0x) or normal CFTR (1.5x).

PTI-428-01 CF SAD and MAD Cohorts Safety Overview Single Ascending Dose Cohorts – Phase 1, Part A In the SAD cohorts 4 subjects experienced a TEAE No severe AEs, SAEs or AEs leading to discontinuation of treatment were reported No AE term reported in more than one subject No safety concerns based on SRC review Multiple Ascending Dose Cohorts – Phase 1, Part A In the Orkambi cohort, 4 subjects experienced TEAE (3 in the active and 1 in the placebo group), 1 reported possibly treatment related AEs No severe or serious adverse events were recorded. All AEs were mild or moderate and none occurred in more than one subject. In the mono therapy cohort 6 subjects experienced TEAE of which one was in the placebo cohort. All were moderate or mild. One (cough) occurred twice: once in subject on placebo and once in subject dosed with PTI-428. In both cohorts there were no laboratory safety or hematology AEs. Randomization ratio: 3:1 Average PTI-428 exposure at steady state exceeded EC90 in MAD cohorts

Measurement of CFTR mRNA and Protein Developed and Implemented as a Clinical Biomarker in CF Studies Biomarker Discovery ~1.5-2 fold CFTR mRNA and protein increase with PTI-428 in both normal and CF patient HBE cells Biomarker Development CFTR mRNA and protein expression measurable in nasal epithelial cells of rats, monkeys, HV, and CF patients Biomarker Implementation CFTR mRNA and protein expression measured in nasal epithelial cells with PTI-428 in phase 1 HV and CF subjects Nasal Brushing Protocol Retain the tip of curettes in the same Eppendorf tube Store at -80°C immediately and ship to analysis lab on dry ice Repeat with the other nostril Repeat brushing motion at least 3 times Place in pre-prepared lysis buffer and swab nostril ASI Rhino-Pro Curettes X3 Clinical Biomarker

Biomarker Analysis Suggests PTI-428 Treatment Leads to Higher than Expected Increase in CFTR Protein in CF Subjects CF Patients PTI-428-01 Study MAD Cohorts** Treatment Average CFTR Protein Fold Change During Treatment Period* (Day 1 through Day 7) Average CFTR Protein Fold Change During Follow-up Period* (Day 14) PTI-428 8.1 2.0 Pooled pbo. 1.3 1.6 PTI-428 and Orkambi® 0.8 5.2 *across all available samples **Biomarker analysis is based on 70% nasal samples that met QC criteria for the CFTR ELISA collected from all 19 CF subjects in vitro HBE cells Treatment Average CFTR Protein Fold Change F508del/F508del Average CFTR Protein Fold Change normal CFTR PTI-428 1.9 1.5 Control 1.0 1.0 CFTR biomarkers in PTI-428 treated CF subjects exhibited differentiated responses in presence or absence of Orkambi® in Phase 1, Part A study In Orkambi® subjects dosed with PTI-428, the CFTR protein did not change on average during the 7-day dosing while an average 5 fold increase in protein levels was observed by the end of the study period. In contrast to the Orkambi® cohort, subjects in the monotherapy cohort demonstrated on average an 8 fold increase in protein during the treatment period and a return to approximately baseline levels at the end of the follow up period. Changes in biomarker levels in PTI-428 treated CF patients were higher than those seen in vitro.

Clinical Biomarker Analysis Suggests Patients with Lowest CFTR Substrate at Baseline May Benefit Most from PTI-428 Approximately 60% of subjects on Orkambi® who received PTI-428 saw a modest improvement in FEV1 in the 7 days of treatment in Phase 1, Part A study. There was no significant difference in FEV1 changes compared to placebo. For CF subjects who received PTI-428, change in FEV1 positively correlated with ivacaftor exposure and inversely correlated with lumacaftor exposure. CF subjects with lower baseline FEV1, mRNA and protein had a greater response to PTI-428 treatment. Based on the totality of pharmacokinetic, safety and clinical biomarker data, PTI-428 dose in the ongoing 28 day cohort was selected at 50 mg
