The HREC approval represents a critical regulatory and strategic milestone for Neurotech, enabling the initiation of clinical activities for the pivotal Beyond Harmony Registration Study, including site activation and participant recruitment. This study is a cornerstone of Neurotech’s clinical and commercial strategy, designed to generate the high - quality data required to support regulatory submissions for NTI164 in both Australia and the United States. A s uccessful execution of this study is expected to ad vance NTI164 toward a market authori s ation pathway, underpinning Neurotech’s long - term commercialisation objectives and global market entry strategy in ASD. The Phase 3 study has been rigorously designed based on robust data generated from Neurotech’s prior clinical studies of NTI164 in ASD. These earlier studies demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across multiple core ASD symptom domains, alongside consistent improvements in caregiver - reported quality - of - life measures. The study design has been carefully informed by these outcomes to ensure clinical relevance, methodological robustness, and regulatory alignment. Neurotech is now advancing NTI164 into a pivotal registration pathway to support potential submissions to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Beyond Harmony Phase 3 study will be conducted under the leadership of Professor Michael Fahey, Principal Investigator, a leading expert in paediatric neurology and neurodevelopmental disorders. Professor Fahey will be supported by a group of Co - Principal Investigators, with a network of sate llite clinical sites to be activated across Australia and progressively into the USA . The study will be conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and all applicable regulatory and ethical requirements for both TGA and FDA product registration. Neurotech expects to commence study initiation activities, with further updates to be provided to the market as the Company continues to expand across Australia and USA. Dr Anthony Filippis, Managing Director and CEO of Neurotech said : “ This HREC approval is a major regulatory milestone for Neurotech and the penultimate step in advancing NTI164 into a pivotal, Phase 3 clinical program for ASD Levels 2 and 3. Building on the strong and clinically meaningful outcomes demonstrated in our earlier studies, it is most noteworthy that Beyond Harmony has been designed to support future regulatory submissions in both Australia and the United States.
