MOU WITH PAVAY BIOTECH ON A POTENTIAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT
FOR DERMATOLOGY COMPOUND
MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) 24 December 2019:
Invion Limited (ASX: IVX) (“Invion” or
“Company”) announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Pavay Biotech in an arrangement that over time could lead to an additional revenue stream
for the Invion Group. Pavay Biotech is an established provider of dermatology treatment
products in China.
Under the MoU with Invion’s wholly-owned Australian-based subsidiary company,
EpiTech Dermal Science Pty Ltd1, the Parties will seek to reach agreement on terms whereby
EpiTech Dermal Science would leverage on Invion’s expertise in clinical development and
regulatory compliance to facilitate the supply of an Australian-made dermatological
ingredient for incorporation into dermatology products to be manufactured by Pavay
Biotech.
EpiTech Dermal Science would lead and manage the production of a compound in an
Australian-based manufacturing facility. The compound would be used as an active
ingredient in treatments sold by Pavay Biotech and its partners in the Chinese and
international dermatology markets.

About Invion
Invion is a drug delivery company that is leading the global research and development of
PhotosoftTM technology for the treatment of a range of cancers. Invion holds the Australia
and New Zealand license rights to the Photosoft TM technology. Research and clinical trials
are funded by the technology licensor, The Cho Group, via an R&D services agreement with
the Company. Invion is listed on ASX (ASX:IVX).
About Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Invion is developing PhotosoftTM technology as an improved next generation Photodynamic
Therapy. PDT uses non-toxic photosensitisers and visible light in combination with oxygen to
produce cytotoxic-reactive oxygen that kills malignant cells, shuts down tumours and
stimulates the immune system. A potential alternative to surgery, and in contrast to
radiotherapy and chemotherapy which are mostly immunosuppressive, PDT causes acute
inflammation, expression of heat-shock proteins, and invasion and infiltration of a tumour by
leukocytes.
