We have a diversified pipeline designed to address areas of high unmet need in rare kidney, liver, and metabolic diseases. We invest revenues from our commercial portfolio into our pipeline with the goal of delivering new treatments for diseases with no approved therapies.

* Pegtibatinase (TVT-058) is currently in a Phase 1/2 clinical study. ** CDCA is not indicated for CTX but has received a medical necessity determination in

the US by the FDA for CTX. Travere Therapeutics is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial

to examine the safety and efficacy of CDCA (Chenodal®) for the treatment of CTX.

Based on these results, the Company is in the process of engaging with regulators to establish next steps for a pivotal development program to ultimately support potential approval of pegtibatinase for the treatment of HCU. In parallel, the Company has initiated one additional cohort in the COMPOSE Study to inform and refine formulation work for future development and commercial purposes and to further evaluate the dose response curve for pegtibatinase.

We acquired pegtibatinase as part of the November 2020 acquisition of Orphan Technologies Limited.

We are a participant in two Cooperative Research and Development Agreements ("CRADAs"), which form a multi-stakeholder approach to pool resources with leading experts, and incorporate the patient perspective early in the therapeutic identification and development process. We have partnered with the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences ("NCATS") and leading patient advocacy organizations, CDG Care and Alagille Syndrome Alliance, aimed at the identification of potential small molecule therapeutics for NGLY1 deficiency and Alagille syndrome ("ALGS"), respectively. There are no treatment options currently approved for these diseases.
