The IND clearance authorises Neurotech to commence its proposed clinical development program for NTI164 in the United States and represents a major regulatory milestone for the Company. The IND submission included the Company’s chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC), non - clinical and clinical information supporting the proposed clinical and development program. Should the Company elect to commence clinical development in the United States, t he study to be conducted under the FDA - cleared IND will be a comprehensive population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) program. The program has been strategically designed to complement the Company's Australian Phase 3 "Beyond Harmony" trial, which is intended to generate pivotal efficacy and safety data for NTI164 in paediatric patients with ASD. The Phase 3 results are expected to form an important component of the global clinical evidence package supporting future regulatory submissions, while the US PopPK study w ould generate vital pharmacokinetic data to support dose characterisation and product registration initiatives . T he Australian Phase 3 trial and the proposed US IND program are expected to generate an integrated efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic and regulatory data package to support Neurotech's global development, registration and commercialisation strategy for NTI164. Separately , Neurotech continues to engage proactively with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to ensure alignment of its Australian and US regulatory strategies. The Company is using its interactions with both the FDA and TGA to progress the global development pathway for NTI164 and the potential use of clinical data across multiple regulatory jurisdictions. T he Australian Phase 3 clinical trial, the proposed US IND program and ongoing regulatory engagement with both the FDA and TGA are expected to generate a comprehensive and integrated efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic and regulatory evidence package, supporting Neurotech's global development, registration a nd commercialisation strategy for NTI164.

Neurotech CEO and Managing Director, Anthony Filippis, commented: “ FDA clearance of our IND application is a major milestone for Neurotech and marks the formal establishment of our US clinical development pathway for NTI164. This clearance represents a n important regulatory milestone for Neurotech and reflects the progress and maturity of our overall development program. Importantly, the FDA has completed its review of our CMC - , non - clinical and clinical data package in relation to the IND . This clearance enables us to commence clinical development activities in the United States. Together with our ongoing Australian Phase 3 trial, the data generated under the FDA - cleared IND is expected to create an integrated clinical and regulatory evidence package for NTI164, supporting the Company's global development, registration and commercialisation strategy . ” Authority This announcement was authorised for release by the Board of Neurotech International Limited.
