AVERT Study Results The AVERT study achieved statistically significant reductions in neonatal length of stay (NNLOS)* and neonatal morbidity/mortality (NMI), its two co-primary outcomes, in the mITT and ITT population. • In the full mITT and ITT population neonates were discharged earlier from the hospital. • NMI, significant in the full mITT primary analysis, remained significant in the full ITT population. • NICU LOS was observed to be significantly reduced in the mITT and ITT populations. • The number of patients needed to screen to reduce one NICU ** day was calculated to be between 3 and 4 • The odds of PTB and sPTB at several gestational age cut-offs was either significantly reduced or showed a trend in the direction of benefit in both the mITT and ITT populations. *Among those babies with the longest stays **Internal data on file NNLOS: Neonatal hospital length of stay NICU LOS: NICU length of stay GAB: Gestational age at birth NMI: Neonatal morbidity and mortality, evaluated using a composite index PTB: Preterm birth sPTB: Spontaneous preterm birth mITT: Modified intent-to-treat ITT: Intent-to-treat Reference: Hoffman MK, Kitto C, Zhang Z, Shi J, Walker MG, Shahbaba B, Ruhstaller K.

FAS • Analysis of the earliest ~10% of births (Quantile) revealed Rates of preterm birth showed a trend toward a substantial extension of reduction, with the stronger effects observed at the gestation (p<0.001) and a 78% increased likelihood of prolonged earliest gestational age gestation (HR = 1.78). • Furthermore, as gestational age at birth decreased, the odds of preterm birth trended lower, becoming more pronounced at earlier gestational age, but did not reach statistical significance. • The PRIME Trial results showed no overall change in the mean * Data were adjusted for covariates pre-enrollment aspirin usage, parity, and COVID-19 positivity. The full analysis set of the gestational age at birth, which intention-to-treat population (n=4806) was used in all analyses except the GAB quantile analysis, which evaluated the earliest aligns with expectations. This is approximately 10% of births (n=497). ¶ Hazard ratio; Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The hazard ratio denotes the likelihood of delivering at a later because treatments for preterm gestational age in the prevention arm.

At a 6-week post-partum appointment, I walked into the exam room and my patient greeted me with a big smile and said… “I’m so grateful for the PreTRM Test!” Because after she took it, the results showed an extremely high risk for preterm labor. We worked together during the next 4 months and the outcome was a vaginal delivery, at term, with a healthy baby. My patient then told me… “ “I came home from the hospital with a healthy baby I can hold. My friend can only touch her baby in an incubator.” My patient then explained she’d just returned from a visit with a friend who was also pregnant—with a due Dr. Barbi Phelps-Sandall date close to her own. The friend had a preterm delivery. She did not have the PreTRM test available to shares a patient her and now both mom and baby were in the NICU. pregnancy story “I’m so glad we did the PreTRM Test.” ©2025 Sera Prognostics, Inc.
