"Drew's addition to the company reflects our continued commitment to building out our U.S. commercial team in anticipation of the rollout of PKU GOLIKE(R), the flagship product line of our wholly owned subsidiary, APR Applied Pharma Research, SA (APR), and the upcoming June 5, 2022 Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date and potential launch of ACER-001 to treat Urea Cycle Disorders, in collaboration with Acer Therapeutics," stated Mr. Kim. "Drew's success in launching numerous products in the rare disease space, as well as her proven skills in digital technology and team building, gained from her tenures at Intercept Pharmaceuticals and Cubist Pharmaceuticals, make her a key member of the U.S. commercial team as we optimize our emerging rare disease pipeline."

"My passion for improving the lives of patients with rare diseases, coupled with the opportunity to be part of the launch of potential new products in the U.S., were key factors that drew me to this exciting role at Relief Therapeutics," added Ms. Cronin-Fine. "I look forward to joining the emerging commercial team at Relief and being an integral part of its mission to develop therapeutics for serious diseases with few or no existing treatment options."

ABOUT RELIEF

Relief focuses primarily on clinical-stage programs based on molecules with a history of clinical testing and use in human patients or a strong scientific rationale. Relief's drug candidate, RLF-100(R) (aviptadil), a synthetic form of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP), is in late-stage clinical testing in the U.S. for the treatment of respiratory deficiency due to COVID-19 through Relief's collaboration partner in the U.S., NeuroRx, Inc.
