Summary – Clinical development strategy CONFIDENTIAL | 18 ADIAL PHARMACEUTICALS INC. | MEDICINES FOR ADDICTION Advancing AD04 based on promising data and favorable regulatory feedback  FDA confirmed primary U . S . endpoint based on PNHDD – patients who reduced their alcohol consumption to zero heavy drinking days in the last two months of a six - month study .  FDA acknowledged the results from the Phase 2 and Phase 3 post hoc analysis against the US endpoint of PNHDD, which demonstrated statistical significance of responder analysis of specific genotypes, are useful information for planning future studies of AD 04 .  Safety data from the ONWARD trial did not raise any concerns .  In addition, Adial received favorable feedback from EU regulators . Adial will prioritize FDA to pursue approval in the US, while trials will be designed to satisfy both US and EU submission requirements .  While possible to file for registration with one additional trial, current planning assumptions are that Adial will need to conduct two Phase 3 trials with AD 04 .  Adial believes conducting two trials in parallel may be the best strategy to minimize risk , optimize timing & costs and improve probability of regulatory authority acceptance and approval in the US and Europe P N HDD = Percentage of No Heavy Drinking Days

 

 

Partner Status • Advancing discussions with potential strategic partners that could fund: • Phase 3 clinical program • Commercialization of AD04 assuming a successful regulatory outcome • Primary Targets - companies with commercial capabilities or pipeline development capabilities in: Alcohol Therapeutics, Addiction, Psychiatry, Neurology, and niche Orphan CNS • Secondary Targets - companies focused on DTP (Direct to Patient) and DTC (Direct to Consumer) Health Platforms • Fully integrated capabilities with telemedicine, behavioral health, genetic screening, and product fulfillment • D irect to patients with obesity, anxiety, depression, obesity and other mental health diagnosis. • Tertiary Targets - companies with a commercial focus where excessive alcohol consumption may be the primary cause of downstream health effects such as hypertension, obesity, alcohol induced steatohepatitis, and other comorbidities. • Currently in discussions under CDA with several companies that have expressed interest in both the U.S. and European markets and are currently reviewing data and regulatory feedback received • Partnerships of this quality would allow us to rapidly penetrate the U.S. given the expectation of AD04 being widely accessible, reasonably priced, and reimbursable 19 ADIAL PHARMACEUTICALS INC. | MEDICINES FOR ADDICTION Discussions with potential partners progressing

 

 

Revised Corporate Strategy CONFIDENTIAL | 20 ADIAL PHARMACEUTICALS INC. | MEDICINES FOR ADDICTION 20230606 Target genotypes identified; regulatory discussions advancing; attractive U.S. commercial opportunity now the primary focus  Clear path forward that incorporates outcomes from previous trials, regulatory feedback and includes a modified design that focuses on heavy drinkers with specific genotypes (AG and potentially GG)  Refinement of genetic panel increases the probability of success in future trials by targeting those genotypes that outperformed others in previous studies  This approach gives us a high level of confidence that we will be able to meet FDA’s pre - specified primary endpoint and the European endpoint  The genotypes are part of the existing genetic panel used to qualify patients for AD 04 , are easily identified and are estimated to exist in about 20 % of the AUD population based on patient screening in our trial . For this specific patient population, AD 04 performs extraordinarily well .  Healthcare payer research following the completion of the ONWARD trial suggests that unit pricing for AD 04 could be more than double the previous assumptions for the U . S .  The sale of our preclinical subsidiary Purnovate’s assets and business better positions us to execute our outlined strategy and extends our cash runway  Overall, Adial is now focused on a refined, well - researched, and commercially attractive plan for AD 04 with a primary focus in the U . S .

 

 

Target Market – Total Potential Annual Gross Revenue 21 ADIAL PHARMACEUTICALS INC. | MEDICINES FOR ADDICTION A small percentage of the potential market would make AD04 a commercial success 1. Note: Assumes 20 % of patients genetically positive and treated; $ 600 per month pricing AD04 Target Market Patients with AUD & with AD04 Target Genetics Low Hanging Fruit Patients seeking treatment for AUD & with AD04 Target Genetics Color Key: Assuming only 20 % of patients are treatable with AD04, based on the genetic test, the total potential annual revenue for AD04 in the U.S. alone is $ 40 Billion 1 $ 3.4 B Patients seeking treatment for AUD $ 40 Billion US Market

 

 

Next steps CONFIDENTIAL | 22 ADIAL PHARMACEUTICALS INC. | MEDICINES FOR ADDICTION 20230606 Finalize plans to achieve potential commercial launch by end of 2026  Finalize Clinical Development Plan  Final decision on conducting one or two Trials  Finalize Trial design and Costs (current estimate $ 8 - $ 12 million per trial pending final design and scope)  Timeline completion  Review study protocol and statistical analysis plan with FDA and EMA  Finalize Partnering process and funding requirements
