To support the regulatory development of NTI164, 28 - day GLP - compliant repeat - dose toxicity studies were conducted in both Sprague - Dawley rats (total n=116 ) and B eagle dogs (total n=42) in accordance with ICH guidelines . Animals received twice - daily oral dosing across low, mid, and high dose levels, followed by a 14 - day recovery period. NTI164 was well tolerated in both species, with no systemic or organ - specific toxicities attributed to the test article. The absence of adverse findings across clinical pathology, histopathology, and neurobehavioral assessments highlights the formulation’s favourable safety profile. Importantly, all incidental observations resolved during the recovery phase, confirming a strong therapeutic margin. These data establish the nonclinical safety foundation required for IND submissions and support global regulatory filings with the FDA, TGA, and EMA. The study’s GLP design and use of two regulatory - relevant species ensure broad acceptability across jurisd ictions. The Company notes that the toxicology studies will be subject to review by the FDA, TGA and EMA, as part of the Company’s submissions/safety package to these regulatory organisations . Crucially, these findings significantly de - risk NTI164 for repeat - dose use in clinical trials and strengthen its positioning for future commercialisation in chronic - use indications, particularly in paediatric and neurological settings. These developments a re fully aligned with both FDA and TGA regulatory guidance . Dr Anthony Filippis, CEO and Managing Director of Neurotech, stated: "We are extremely encouraged by these robust safety findings, which mark a crucial step in our regulatory and clinical development pathway. The positive outcomes of this toxicology study provide a solid foundation for advancing NTI164 into longer - term toxicity studies, as required by the FDA and TGA. We look forward to progressing NTI164 rapidly into the next stages of clinical development and regulatory submissions , while continuing our f ocus on commercial opportunities for the business ."
