Clinical Trial Update

Clinical trial update Melbourne, Australia; 27 June 2023: A voluntary partial clinical hold has been implemented on a trial in which Starpharma (ASX: SPL, OTCQX: SPHRY) technology is used: AZD0466 Monotherapy or in Combination in Patients w ith Advanced Haematological Malignancies (NCT04865419). This Phase 1/2 study is in the dose escalation phase. The asymptomatic reported events leading to the voluntary partial hold were assessed as not related to Starpharma’s DEP® dendrimer. The voluntary partial clinical hold does not impact Starpharma’s platform technology, or other clinical DEP® programs or partnerships. The other clinical study of AZD0466 in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NCT05205161) is not impacted and continues to enroll patients. Starpharma will provide further details to the market when additional relevant information becomes available. AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/Nasdaq: AZN) is the study sponsor. About Starpharma Starpharma Holdings Limited (ASX: SPL, OTCQX: SPHRY) is a biopharmaceutical company focussed on the development of pharmaceutical and medical products for unmet patient needs, including in the areas of oncology and infectious diseases. Starpharma’s innovative technology is based on proprietary polymers called dendrimers, which are precise, synthetically manufactured, nanoscale molecules. The unique properties of dendrimers – including their size, structure, high degree of branching, polyvalency, and water solubility – are advantageous in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Starpharma uses its dendrimer technology to develop novel therapeutics and to improve the performance of existing pharmaceuticals. Starpharma’s portfolio includes multiple clinical stage oncology products, which utilise its Dendrimer Enhanced Product (‘DEP ®’) drug delivery technology; and marketed products, including VIRALEZE ™ and VivaGel ® BV, which utilise SPL7013, a proprietary dendrimer with antimicrobial properties. Starpharma’s DEP® drug delivery platform is being used to enhance the effectiveness of existing and novel therapies and to reduce drug-related toxicities through controlled and specified drug delivery. In addition to Starpharma’s internal DEP ® programs, Starpharma has multiple DEP ® partnerships with international biopharmaceutical companies including AstraZeneca (oncology); MSD (antibody drug conjugates); Chase Sun (anti-infectives); and other world leading pharmaceutical companies. Due to the broad applicability and optionality of Starpharma’s DEP® platform, partnered DEP® programs have the potential to generate significant future milestones and royalties. Starpharma’s topical antiviral nasal spray, VIRALEZE™, is now registered in more than 35 countries*, including in Europe, in the UK, and in Asia. Starpharma’s novel non- antibiotic vaginal gel, VivaGel ® BV, for treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and prevention of recurrent BV, is registered in more than 50 countries, including in the UK, in Europe, in Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. * Note: VIRALEZE™ is not approved for use or supply in Australia.
