1 of 3 Neuren (NEU) – ASX Announcement 15 December 2025 US FDA approves DAYBUE® STIX (trofinetide) for oral solution, a new powder formulation, for Rett syndrome Highlights: • DAYBUE STIX is a new dye- and preservative-free powder formulation of trofinetide • DAYBUE STIX provides Rett syndrome patients and caregivers with new flexibility and choice • DAYBUE and DAYBUE STIX are the only US FDA-approved treatments for Rett syndrome • Neuren receives royalties on net sales of trofinetide Melbourne, Australia: Neuren Pharmaceuticals (ASX: NEU) today announced that its partner, Acadia Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ACAD), has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of DAYBUE® STIX (trofinetide) for oral solution, a dye- and preservative-free powder formulation of trofinetide for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older. The new powder formulation offers children and adults living with Rett syndrome new flexibility and choice regarding the dose volume and taste of their DAYBUE treatment. Neuren CEO Jon Pilcher commented: “The Neuren team is excited about the approval of this new treatment option for Rett syndrome families and the continued investment and innovation for trofinetide by our global partner, Acadia. Caregivers can mix DAYBUE STIX with a variety of water-based liquids providing flexibility to modify the taste and volume of their loved-one's dose. We look forward to seeing the impact as DAYBUE STIX becomes more broadly available during 2026. 2 of 3 The approval of this new formulation was informed by the results of a bioequivalence study, which demonstrated that both original DAYBUE (trofonetide) oral solution and the new DAYBUE STIX (trofinetide) for oral solution powder formulation provide comparable exposure. This confirmed bioequivalence means patients can expect the same efficacy and safety established by the oral solution formulation when using DAYBUE STIX. Acadia expects DAYBUE STIX to be available on a limited basis starting in the first quarter of 2026 and more broadly early in the second quarter of 2026. The current oral solution formulation will remain available.
