Strong Rationale for Efficacy in Bipolar Depression Navacaprant in
Bipolar Depression (BPD): • Evidence from the navacaprant Phase 2 and NIMH’s FASTMAS demonstrate utility of KOR pharmacology for depression and 1 anhedonia • Anhedonia is a highly prevalent and clinically relevant symptom in BPD
• A growing body of research supports the pathophysiologic 2 underpinnings of anhedonia in BPD • Given that navacaprant studies have demonstrated meaningful improvements in anhedonia symptoms in patients with MDD, it may also be
effective in treating anhedonia related to BPD • The primary endpoint for evaluating efficacy in BPD is MADRS • Currently approved therapies (e.g., atypical antipsychotics) have significant limitations 1 2 Krystal, AD., et al. 2020.

NMRA-511 Reduces Threat Behaviors in Marmosets and Alters EEG Power
Spectra Similarly in Marmosets and Humans In a human threat test (HTT) study completed in marmosets, NMRA-511 demonstrated activity in brain circuits that regulate mood and anxiety. An additional EEG study demonstrated that the pharmacodynamic
effects of NMRA-511 translated to humans. NMRA-511 (10 and 30 mg/kg) and chlordiazepoxide (CDP, Analysis of qEEG collected in the frontal region following 2mg/kg, SC) significantly reduced anxiety-related behaviors dosing of NMRA-511 to marmosets
(10 mg/kg; n=6) and in marmosets (n=8) as measured by a decrease in the healthy human subjects (15 mg; placebo n=11; NMRA-511 number of threat-elicited postures observed in the HTT n=6) increased relative power in the theta and alpha bands without
affecting locomotor activity or causing sedation under physiological/resting state (eyes open) conditions Wallace TL. et al, NMRA-511, a novel vasopressin 1a (V1a) receptor antagonist reduces threat behaviors in marmosets and alters EEG power

Neumora’s Precision Medicine Approach Can Be Leveraged to
Maximize the Value of Our Programs Challenge: Match Right Neumora’s Maximize Value: Improve Drug to the Right Patient Precision Toolbox Probability of Success & Proprietary analytical capabilities with Expand Indications one petabyte of
