GB001 Phase 2 Clinical Trial Topline Results October 13, 2020 Exhibit 99.2

Slide 2

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding the potential for the LEDA Study results to allow for the design of a well-powered Phase 3 program for GB001 and our plans to discuss such results with global regulatory authorities to inform potential partnerships or strategic alternatives; potential plans to advance GB001; the potential of GB001 to serve asthma patients; and expected cash runway, our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, prospective products, product approvals, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and future results of current and anticipated products, are forward-looking statements.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These known risks and uncertainties include: the potential for the LEDA Study results to allow for the design of a well-powered Phase 3 program for GB001 and our plans to discuss such results with global regulatory authorities to inform potential partnerships or strategic alternatives; topline results Gossamer reports are based on preliminary analysis of key efficacy and safety data, and such data may change following a more comprehensive review of the data related to the clinical trial and such topline data may not accurately reflect the complete results of the clinical trial, and the FDA and other regulatory authorities may not agree with Gossamer's interpretation of such results; disruption to our operations from the recent global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, including clinical trial and regulatory meeting delays; the Company's dependence on third parties in connection with product manufacturing, research and preclinical and clinical testing; potential delays in the commencement, enrollment and completion of any future clinical trials of GB001 and the success of any such trials, including any Phase 3 trials; Gossamer may not be successful in establishing strategic partnership or collaborations and may not realize the benefits of such arrangements; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our product candidates that may limit their development, regulatory approval and/or commercialization, or may result in recalls or product liability claims; Gossamer may use its capital resources sooner than it expects; and other risks described in the Company's prior press releases and the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings with the SEC. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we undertake no obligation to revise or update this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.  This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.  Forward Looking Statements

Datamonitor, open source medical claims, internal analysis. A High Unmet Need Remains for Patients with Uncontrolled Severe Asthma 1.2-1.5 mm Total Patients (US) ~85-90% ~10-15% Uncontrolled GINA 4/5 Patients With High Eos. Injectable biologics (Inc. Dupixent, Nucala, Xolair, and Fasenra) Uncontrolled GINA 4/5 patients in need of therapy There are up to 1.5 million patients in the US with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe eosinophilic asthma A small minority are treated with approved biologic agents An additional ~1.5 million patients without elevated eosinophils are living with uncontrolled asthma in the US No new oral therapies in over 20 years (montelukast)

Evaluate whether once-daily, oral GB001 has a clinically meaningful impact on efficacy outcomes relevant to anti-inflammatory mechanism (asthma worsening and severe exacerbation) to inform effects and statistical powering on potential registrational Phase 3 endpoints Dose-range to understand effect of efficacy and safety outcomes to determine dose selection for future trials Identify the optimal Phase 3 patient population Goals for LEDA Study

Slide 7

Definition of the LEDA Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Proportion of Patients Experiencing Asthma Worsening by Week 24 Asthma worsening defined as a patient meeting ANY one of the following 5 components at ANY time by Week 24: AM PEF ≤ 75% of mean baseline AM PEF on 2 consecutive days FEV1 < 80% of baseline Increase in rescue medication use from baseline of ≥ 6 puffs/day on 2 consecutive days Increase in ACQ-5 score of ≥ 0.5 compared to baseline Occurrence of a Severe Asthma Exacerbation, defined as deterioration of asthma that leads to the use of systemic corticosteroids for at least 3 days, hospitalization, or an Emergency Department visit Asthma worsening was evaluated as both a proportion (primary endpoint) and time-to-event (key secondary endpoint) Prior use of this endpoint has primarily been in steroid withdrawal designs (e.g. prior Phase 2 study of GB0011) AM PEF = morning peak expiratory flow; FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; ACQ-5 = Asthma Control Questionnaire-5. 1) Asano, 2020.

Summary of Phase 2b LEDA Primary and Secondary Endpoints GB001 groups did not meet the primary endpoint of proportion of patients who experience asthma worsening by week 24 However, consistent numeric reductions in the odds of asthma worsening of 32% to 35% observed (p-values: 0.1086 to 0.1482) across GB001 groups GB001 20 mg and 60 mg groups significantly improved time to first asthma worsening (20 mg, 28% risk reduction, p=0.0466; 60 mg, 30% risk reduction, p=0.0304), with GB001 40 mg also demonstrating a numeric effect (23%, p=0.1222) Numeric improvements in annualized severe exacerbation rate, lung function (morning peak flow and FEV1), and asthma control (ACQ-5) observed Consistent treatment effect in all GB001 groups across clinical endpoints suggests all doses met the biological threshold for clinical response Preliminary identification of patient subgroup with potential to enrich patient selection and enhance treatment response FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in 1 second; ACQ-5 = Asthma Control Questionnaire-5.
