About ERYTECH and ERY-ASP (GRASPA®): www.erytech.com

Created in Lyon, France in 2004, ERYTECH is a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for rare forms
of cancer and orphan diseases. Leveraging its proprietary ERYCAPS
platform, which uses a novel technology to encapsulate therapeutic drug
substances inside red blood cells, ERYTECH has developed a pipeline of
product candidates targeting markets with high unmet medical needs.
ERYTECH’s initial focus is on the treatment of blood cancers, including
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), by
depriving tumors of nutrients necessary for their survival. The company
has recently announced positive efficacy and safety results from its
completed Phase 2/3 pivotal clinical trial in Europe with its lead
candidate product, ERY-ASP, also known under the trade name GRASPA®, in
children and adults with relapsed or refractory ALL. ERYTECH also has an
ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of

ERY-ASP in the United States in adults with newly diagnosed ALL, and a
Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe evaluating GRASPA as a first-line
therapy for the treatment of elderly patients with AML, each in
combination with chemotherapy.

ERY-ASP consists of an enzyme, L-asparaginase, encapsulated inside
donor-derived red blood cells. L-asparaginase depletes asparagine, a
naturally occurring amino acid essential for the survival and
proliferation of cancer cells, from circulating blood plasma.

Every year over 50,000 patients in Europe and the United States are
diagnosed with ALL or AML. For about 80% of these patients, mainly
adults and relapsing patients, current forms of L-asparaginase cannot be
used due to their toxicity or as a result of allergic reactions. ERYTECH
believes that the safety and efficacy profile of ERY-ASP/GRASPA, as
observed in its Phase 2/3 pivotal clinical trial, offers an attractive
alternative option for the treatment of leukemia patients.

ERYTECH believes that ERY-ASP has the potential as a treatment approach
in solid tumors and is conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe in
patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. In addition to its current
product candidates that focus on using encapsulated enzymes to induce
tumor starvation, ERYTECH is exploring the use of its platform for
developing cancer vaccines and enzyme replacement therapies.

The EMA and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have granted
orphan drug designations to ERY-ASP/GRASPA for the treatment of ALL, AML
and pancreatic cancer. ERYTECH produces ERY-ASP at its own GMP-approved
and operational manufacturing site in Lyon (France), and at a site for
clinical production in Philadelphia (USA). The Company has entered into
licensing and distribution partnership agreements for ERY-ASP for ALL
and AML in Europe with Orphan Europe (Recordati Group), and for ALL in
Israel with TEVA, who will market the product under the GRASPA® brand
name.

ERYTECH is listed on Euronext regulated market in Paris (ISIN code:
FR0011471135, ticker: ERYP) and is part of the CAC Healthcare, CAC
Pharma Bio, CAC Mid Small, CAC All Tradable, EnterNext PEA-PME 150
and Next Biotech indexes. ERYTECH is also listed in the US under an ADR
level 1 program (OTC, ticker EYRYY).
