10 July 2025 – Melbourne, Australia: Neurizon Therapeutics Limited (ASX: NUZ & NUZOA) (“Neurizon” or “the
Company”), a clinical-stage biotech company dedicated to advancing innovative treatments for neurodegenerative
diseases, is pleased to announce progress across key clinical and regulatory activities for its lead program, NUZ-001,
for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Following recent formal interactions, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided written feedback
confirming procedural alignment with Neurizon’s strategy to lift the clinical hold for NUZ-001. This regulatory
feedback outlines the FDA's acceptance of Neurizon’s strategy of conducting two preclinical pharmacokinetic (PK)
studies to address the clinical hold for NUZ-001, enabling continued momentum towards initiating the HEALEY ALS
Platform Trial.
Neurizon has already completed the two necessary PK studies ahead of schedule. These studies were conducted by
a global contract research organisation (CRO) specialising in preclinical PK studies. The treatment phase of both
studies has been successfully completed, along with the analysis of blood samples, and the study reports are being
finalised. The execution of these studies was completed within budget and may qualify for a rebate under the
Australian Government’s Research and Development (R&D) Tax Incentive Scheme.
Neurizon anticipates submitting a Complete Response containing data from these PK studies to the FDA in the coming
weeks as part of the formal hold resolution process. The Company remains focused on activating participation in the
HEALEY ALS Platform Trial in Q4 CY2025.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Michael Thurn, commented: “We are delighted to receive written
confirmation from the FDA affirming our strategy to resolve the clinical hold for NUZ-001. By proactively progressing
and completing the required PK studies ahead of schedule, we’ve maintained strong momentum and demonstrated
our commitment to advancing NUZ-001 with urgency and scientific precision. We are well-positioned to submit the
Complete Response in the coming weeks and anticipate that the clinical hold will be lifted in August 2025. We are
focused on achieving key milestones that will enable Neurizon’s active participation in the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial
later this year.”
The Company will continue to update the market as key regulatory and clinical milestones are achieved in the leadup to anticipated trial participation in Q4 CY2025.
