Zynerba Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results and Operational Highlights

Devon, PA, November 8, 2018 — Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZYNE), the leader in innovative pharmaceutically-produced transdermal cannabinoid therapies for rare and near-rare neuropsychiatric disorders, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018 and provided an overview of recent operational highlights.

“The momentum we established in the first half of 2018 continued through the third quarter,” said Armando Anido, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zynerba. “We began enrolling patients into CONNECT-FX, our pivotal study in Fragile X syndrome and we expect to complete enrollment in BELIEVE-1, our Phase 2 study in developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, before year end. With our third quarter 2018 follow-on offering, we are well capitalized and expect our current cash to take us through the presentation of top line data for both of these studies.”

Third Quarter 2018 and Recent Highlights

ZYN002 in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS)

Initiated CONNECT-FX, a Pivotal Clinical Trial of ZYN002 in FXS

Enrollment is progressing in CONNECT-FX (Clinical study of Cannabidiol (CBD) in Children and Adolescents with Fragile X), a pivotal, multi-national, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ZYN002 in three to 17-year old FXS patients with full mutation of the FMR1 gene. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline to the end of the treatment period in the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community FXS Specific (ABC-CFXS) Social Avoidance subscale. Top line data are expected in the second half of 2019; there are currently no approved products indicated for FXS.

Presented New Data at the 16th NFXF International Fragile X Conference from the Ongoing Open Label FAB-C Phase 2 Study of ZYN002

Zynerba presented new data demonstrating that treatment with ZYN002 improved core behavioral symptoms of FXS with statistical significance versus baseline across multiple measures of efficacy at week 12, and these improvements were sustained through 38 weeks of treatment. For example, significant improvements vs. baseline in social avoidance as measured by the ABC-CFXS were demonstrated at 12 weeks (58%; p=0.0040) and 38 weeks (75%; p=0.0013) of treatment with ZYN002.

Poster Accepted for Presentation at the 57th Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP)

The poster presentation is on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 in poster session III from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EST. The meeting will be at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida from December 9 through 12, 2018.

ZYN002 in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEE)

Enrollment Nearing Completion in the Phase 2 BELIEVE 1 Clinical Trial in DEE; Topline Results Expected in 2019

Enrollment is progressing in BELIEVE 1 (Open Label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of ZYN002 Administered as a Transdermal Gel to Children and Adolescents with Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy). This is a six-month multi-dose Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ZYN002 in approximately 50 children and adolescents with DEE, a category of epilepsy syndromes that involve significant developmental impairment or regression of developmental progress, and are highly resistant to treatment. The Company expects to complete enrollment by year-end 2018.

ZYN002 in Focal Epilepsy

STAR-2 Long-Term Data Accepted for Poster Presentation at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Epilepsy Society (AES)

The poster presentation is on Sunday, December 2, 2018 in poster session 2 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM EST. The meeting will be at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA from November 30 to December 4, 2018. The poster will highlight efficacy and safety data from adult patients with refractory focal epilepsy receiving treatment with ZYN002 for up to 18 months. These data contribute to the design of the upcoming double blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b study, which the Company expects to initiate in the fourth quarter of 2018.
