These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the potential for additional or future data to alter initial, interim and preliminary results of clinical trials; positive data from preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials may not be predictive of results from subsequent preclinical studies and clinical trials; the results of clinical trials may produce negative, inconclusive or uncompetitive results; possible safety, efficacy concerns could emerge as new data are generated in R&D and/or clinical trials; the impact to, and potential for delays in, the current and future conduct of the business of the Company, its clinical programs and operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; the cost, timing and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials and other development activities; the likelihood of Dicerna’s clinical programs being executed within timelines provided; our reliance on the Company’s contract research and manufacturing organizations; the unpredictability of timely enrollment of subjects and patients to advance Dicerna’s clinical trials; the unpredictability of the duration and results of the regulatory review of Investigational New Drug (IND) applications and Clinical Trial Applications necessary to continue to advance and progress the Company’s clinical programs and the regulatory review of submissions relevant to regulatory agencies for marketing approvals, including New Drug Applications (NDAs); market acceptance for approved products and innovative therapeutic treatments; competition; the possible impairment of, inability to obtain and costs of obtaining needed intellectual property rights; that the Company may not realize the intended benefits of its collaborations; general business, financial and accounting risks; and the risks and potential outcomes from litigation.

The Primary Hyperoxalurias • A family of three closely-related ultra-rare genetic diseases ‒ PH type 1 ‒ PH type 2 ‒ PH type 3 • All subtypes of PH are associated with high urinary oxalate levels, resulting in potentially severe health and quality-of-life consequences ‒ Frequent kidney stones ‒ Progression to end-stage renal disease 7 Estimated PH Diagnosis Rates PH1 PH2 PH3 Current Diagnosis Projections^ ~40% – 50% ~10% ~7% Expected U.S. Prevalence1,2 Prevalence based on PH mutant alleles found in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Exome Sequencing Project (NHLBI ESP) and calculated according to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for each PH type using the sum of all alternate PH1, PH2 or PH3 alleles (known, or known and scored as pathogenic) and all wild type alleles. 1.

Primary Hyperoxaluria Disease Biology A Family of Ultra-Rare, Life-Threatening Genetic Disorders Resulting in Renal Complications 10 PEROXISOME Oxalate GO Primary hyperoxaluria 1 Glycolate Glyoxylate Primary hyperoxaluria 2 & 3 Glycine LDH nedosiran AGT HEPATOCYTE GRHPR Glyoxylate Glycolate MITOCHONDRIA Pathway Inputs HOGA 1 2 3 • Standard published PH biochemical models link the three types of PH to the same liver metabolic pathway • In each case, the glyoxylate intermediate is believed to be converted to oxalate by LDH • Published animal model data, and early clinical results, are supportive of this model for PH1 and PH2 • Abnormal production and accumulation of oxalate leads to: ⁻ Recurrent kidney stones ⁻ Nephrocalcinosis ⁻ Chronic kidney disease that may progress to end- stage renal disease ⁻ Systemic oxalosis, impacting diverse tissues • Nedosiran silences LDHA, believed to be the ultimate step in the oxalate production pathway

Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events and Laboratory Findings • Two discontinuations, both due to SAEs (1 nedosiran and 1 placebo) • Three total SAEs were reported (1 nedosiran and 2 placebo): ‒ One participant with fluctuating tachycardia on nedosiran (considered not to be related to study drug by two external cardiology experts) ‒ Two participants on placebo with SAEs related to underlying PH (elevated creatinine and renal colic/kidney stone) • Injection-site reactions (ISR): ‒ 2 participants (8.7%) with 11 events of mild protocol-defined ISR * ‒ Erythema at injection site was most common AE, 5 participants on nedosiran (21.7%) and 0 participants on placebo • Two reported AEs of CK elevation (1 nedosiran and 1 placebo) • No other clinically significant laboratory findings • Kidney stone-related adverse events reported in 3 participants on nedosiran (13%) and 5 participants on placebo (41.7%) 19 AE term Nedosiran n, (%) n = 23 Placebo n, (%) n = 12 Erythema at injection site 5 (21.7%) 0 Kidney stone- related events 3 (13%) 5 (41.7%) Nausea 4 (17.4%) 1 (8.3%) Headache 4 (17.4%) 3 (25%) Abdominal cramp 3 (13%) 2 (16.7%) Most Common Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (>3 participants) * Signs or symptoms at the injection site with a time to onset of 4 or more hours from the time of study intervention administration


 
• Nedosiran achieved the primary and key secondary endpoints with a statistically significant reduction in Uox • Robust Uox reduction seen in the PH1 subpopulation • PH2 results inconsistent with prior experience • Nedosiran was generally well tolerated, and its AE profile was consistent with previous studies • We expect these results to support marketing authorization applications for PH1 in the U.S. and other major markets 20 PHYOX2 Summary of Top-Line Data Nedosiran Demonstrated Robust Uox Reduction in PH1 and Was Well Tolerated in This Study


 
Doug Fambrough, Ph.D. President and Chief Executive Officer Summary and Conclusions


 
Summary and Conclusions • Nedosiran decisively hit the primary and key secondary endpoints in PHYOX2 • Nedosiran showed an AE profile similar to previously reported PHYOX trial results • The success of nedosiran in PH1 validates the GalXC technology at the foundation of our proprietary and partnered pipeline • We will seek the optimal commercialization path for nedosiran • Planned next steps: ‒ Complete PHYOX4 in PH3 and announce results in October ‒ Submit NDA for nedosiran in Q4 2021 ‒ Continue PHYOX7 and PHYOX8 to support label expansion ‒ Continue to evaluate PH2 data to determine next steps 22
