1 of 1 Neuren (NEU) - ASX Announcement 10 March 2020 Additional information The following is additional information regarding the compelling results that were reported on 6 March 2020 from a dose ranging study of NNZ-2591 in a model of Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). The results will be used to inform dose selection for Neuren’s planned clinical trials in patients. • The number of mice tested in the study was 100 (10 per group). • The statistical design of the study was that for each of the 8 behavioral tests, each dose group was compared with the Wild Type plus vehicle group (i.e. normal mice receiving placebo) in order to assess whether there was a statistically significant difference. • All of the results for the Knockout mice plus placebo group and the Knockout mice plus each of the two lower dose groups were statistically significantly different when compared with the Wild Type plus vehicle group (i.e. the p value was less than 0.05). • All of the results for the Knockout mice plus each of the two higher dose groups were not statistically significantly different when compared with the Wild Type plus vehicle group (i.e. the p value was greater than 0.05), thereby indicating that the treated Knockout mice in these 2 groups were indistinguishable from the normal mice.
