On March 26, 2020, Translate Bio, Inc. (the Company) announced certain updates related to its MRT5005 clinical development
program in cystic fibrosis (CF). The Company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) has granted Rare Pediatric Disease designation for MRT5005 for the treatment of CF. The Company also announced that

patients with CF. As a result, the Company plans to provide updated timing on when it expects to report interim data from the additional single-ascending dose (SAD) group and the multiple-ascending dose (MAD) portion of the
clinical trial at a later date.
