-- Company to Host Industry Evening Mini-Symposium on aPAP with Renowned Key Opinion Leaders --

Savara Inc. (Nasdaq: SVRA), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases, announced the acceptance of one oral presentation and two poster presentations on data from the Phase 3 IMPALA-2 clinical trial at the ERS Congress in Barcelona, Spain, September 5-9, 2026.

“Collectively, these data show that molgramostim continues to improve lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients, while reductions in biomarkers of aPAP lung disease severity suggest it may normalize the underlying pathobiology,” said Bruce C. Trapnell, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and the Lead Clinical Investigator of the IMPALA-2 clinical trial. “Combined with the high retention rate in the trial and durability of effect we've now seen through the first 48-weeks of the IMPALA-2 open-label period, these results strongly support molgramostim’s potential as an effective long-term option for a patient population with no approved pharmacologic treatments. We look forward to sharing these data at the ERS Congress.”

About Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP)

Autoimmune PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by the abnormal build-up of surfactant in the alveoli. Surfactant consists of proteins and lipids and is an important physiological substance that lines the alveoli to prevent them from collapsing. In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to function properly in clearing surfactant, but in aPAP, GM-CSF is neutralized by antibodies against GM-CSF, rendering macrophages unable to adequately clear surfactant. As a result, an excess of surfactant accumulates in the alveoli, causing impaired gas transfer, resulting in clinical symptoms of shortness of breath, often with cough and frequent fatigue. Patients may also experience episodes of fever, chest pain, or coughing up blood, especially if secondary lung infection develops. In the long term, the disease can lead to serious complications, including lung fibrosis and the need for a lung transplant.
