INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

On May 4, 2026, InflaRx N.V. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “InflaRx Reports Favorable Reactive Metabolite Profile for Izicopan in Human Liver Microsomes.”

The Company today announced new preclinical data demonstrating low reactive metabolite formation of izicopan, a next-generation oral C5aR1 inhibitor, in human liver microsomes. In a head-to-head in vitro study, using a standard glutathione (GSH) trapping assay in human liver microsomes (10 μM; 0–40 minute incubation), izicopan demonstrated minimal reactive metabolite formation, with conjugate remaining low throughout the incubation period. These findings support a low level of bioactivation in this assay system.
 
In this experimental setting, these preclinical findings of izicopan support a low level of bioactivation in the assay system and a lower extent of reactive intermediate formation. Reactive metabolite formation is widely used in drug development as an early mechanistic indicator of potential bioactivation-related safety risk, and these results support izicopan’s differentiated profile within the C5aR inhibitor class.
 
Under the same experimental conditions, avacopan showed higher levels of thiol adducts, including both glutathione and downstream cysteine conjugates, consistent with more extensive oxidative bioactivation. Differences in total reactive conjugate peak areas were most pronounced at early time points (exceeding 100-fold at 5 and 10 minutes) and remained observable over the course of the assay (approximately 10-fold at 20 and 40 minutes). Overall, these results suggest a lower extent of reactive intermediate formation for izicopan in this experimental setting. While in vitro findings do not directly predict clinical outcomes, InflaRx believes these results support the differentiated profile of izicopan.

This report on Form 6-K (the “Report”) shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into (i) the registration statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-221656 and 333-240185) and (ii) the registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-273058) of the Company and to be a part thereof from the date on which this Report is submitted, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
