The Relief Therapeutics 2022 Annual Report, including management's discussion and analysis, financial statements and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2022, is available for download on the company's website.

"We made substantial progress in our transformation of Relief Therapeutics into a fully integrated, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company in 2022, strengthening our intellectual property portfolio with multiple new patents and with the launch of our PKU GOLIKE® line of products in the U.S. in October, and the subsequent launch of the new PKU GOLIKE BARs™ in the U.S. and Europe earlier this year. In late December, we announced the U.S. FDA approval of OLPRUVA™ for the treatment of patients with urea cycle disorders with our collaboration partners at Acer Therapeutics," said Jack Weinstein, chief executive officer of Relief Therapeutics. "We also announced new stability data for RLF-100®, our novel formulation of aviptadil acetate, which has been shown to be shelf-stable at temperatures suitable for shipping and long-term storage. We believe RLF-100 has significant potential clinical and commercial value and intend to pursue development of this product candidate for treatment of several debilitating lung disease indications."

"We also built out our U.S. commercial organization and strengthened our management team, while continuing to advance other elements of our diversified pipeline of risk-mitigated product candidates toward significant catalysts," continued Mr. Weinstein. "In 2022 we also launched a new initiative in genetic medicine focused on inherited metabolic disorders, which is being led by Dr. Serene Forte who joined Relief in July. To support this endeavor, we also recently announced the appointment of Dr. Guangping Gao, a pioneer and global thought leader in the field of molecular genetics and viral vector gene therapy, to serve as the chair of our newly established scientific advisory board. Looking ahead to the balance of 2023, we continue to execute on the revised financing and listing strategy we announced in February. We maintain a lean organization, with a strong, experienced leadership team that has the proven ability to execute our disciplined, cost-effective, capital-efficient approach to drug development and deliver growth. We look forward to concluding the remaining steps on our pathway to a dual listing of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market and further advancing our development plans in 2023, and to realizing the full potential of the Relief Therapeutics portfolio for patients and our shareholders," said Mr. Weinstein.
