Neuropathic and nociplastic pain are further removed from the source and are often a result of nerve damage or a sensitized nervous system, respectively Diagnosis of Endo remains an evolving field, with historical standard being confirmation of lesions via laparoscopy • Guidelines now support treatment of ‘Clinically Suspected’ Endo based on a physical examination, symptomology, and non-invasive imaging • Often, Endo diagnoses (and treatment) are delayed by several years

Hormonal therapies and surgical intervention make up the treatment paradigm for Endo • Endo is a chronic condition with currently no medical or surgical cure • Roughly, 75% of patients are estimated to use opioids and/or NSIADs throughout their disease course • Up to 33% of patients do not respond to hormonal treatment alone • Additionally, patients will pause treatment when seeking pregnancy • GnRH therapies are typically prescribed by Gynecologist and often require formal Dx (surgical confirmation) • Due in part to higher cost, and AE profile which limit long- term use • Notably, aromatase inhibitors are not FDA approved for Endo, but are used off-label • Up to 40% of Endo patients undergo a laparoscopy and 12% receive hysterectomies • Even after hysterectomy ~15% of patients still report pain symptoms Sources: PMID 40323608, PMID 37391793, ARTEMIS 2024 Report, GlobalData, US Census Data A B S - 2 0 1 | E N D O M E T R I O S I S Current Treatment Paradigm (US) Treated Endo patients First-line Options Combined Hormonal Contraception NSAIDs Progestins Second-line Options GnRH agonists Oral GnRH antagonist Oral GnRH antagonist + hormonal Total Estimated Endo patients Opioids NSAIDs Third-line Options Aromatase Inhibitors Laparoscopy +/- Hysterectomy

The presence of TLS is associated with longer progression-free survival and better response to immune checkpoint inhibitors2,3. Rapidly growing evidence illustrates correlation between TLS-derived antibodies in the tumor microenvironment and positive clinical outcomes2. TLS-derived antibodies have been shown to be associated with apoptosis of cancer cells in patients2. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are centers of immune activity, such as B-cell proliferation and antibody production, that develop in chronically inflamed tissues1. Antibodies from TLS are specialized for local antigens and play a significant role in the progression of chronic diseases and cancer, setting them apart from the general population of antibodies in the peripheral blood2. 100 75 50 25 10 15 20 0 0 5 High Ig Staining Low Ig Staining Pr og re ss io n- fr ee ( % ) Time (months) P= 0.019 Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS): The focus of Absci’s Reverse Immunology approach T A R G E T D I S C O V E R Y 1 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01952 2 doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2022.02.001 3 doi: 10.1038/s41586-019-1922-8
