Limited. Invion is listed on the ASX (ASX: IVX).
About Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Invion is developing PhotosoftTM technology as a novel next generation Photodynamic
Therapy (PDT). PDT uses non-toxic photosensitisers and light to selectively kill cancer cells and
promote an anti-cancer immune response. Less invasive than surgery and with minimal side
effects, PDT offers an alternative treatment option aimed at achieving complete tumour
regression and long-lasting remission. PDT has also demonstrated broad-spectrum activity
across multiple infectious diseases, including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Photosoft has the
potential to address the global challenge of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs”.

THE PHOTOSOFTTM ADVANTAGE
NEXT GENERATION IMPROVEMENT ON APPROVED PDTs
There are several approved PDT treatments on
the market, but Photosoft is a groundbreaking technology that overcomes many of
their significant shortcomings & side effects
Photosoft is a minimally invasive modality for
treating cancer that specifically identifies and
destroys cancer cells whilst leaving the rest of
the body’s normal cells unharmed
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) consists of three elements:
1
Combines photosensitiser
compound with lightinduced activation
Generates reactive
oxygen species (“ROS”)
causing damage to only
targeted cells
2
3
Direct cell death along
with activation of immune

WHY SKIN CANCER?
ATTRACTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL INDICATION
Relatively Cost Effective
Costs to undertake skin cancer trials typically lower than for
other routes of administration (e.g., intravenous)
Faster Path to Market
Trials with topical treatments often quicker to complete due to
fewer safety concerns and effects can be more readily observed
Synergies with Other Studies
Safety data from same topical formulation may enable a
faster path to a Phase II trial for anogenital cancers
Large Attractive Market
One of the world’s most common cancers with the skin cancer
treatment market expected to hit US$18.1B in 2030 (7.7% CAGR1)
Unmet Medical Need
NMSC comprise 98% of all skin cancers and deaths exceed
melanoma globally2 Standard of care can result in scarring and pain

Primary pancreatic (Human PANC1) cancer
•
Cancers received INV043 at 0.1 mg/kg by IT (primary
tumours) or IP (metastatic tumours) injection
•
After 1 hour, INV043 visualised as fluorescence
localised to tumour mass and margins when
illuminated using violet light
INV043 was seen concentrated within metastatic
nodules 16 hours after IP injection
Small metastatic nodules on the liver visible to naked
eye when illuminated using violet light

PROTECTIVE IMMUNITY
https://inviongroup.com/videos-reports/
• INV043 selectively retained in malignant but not healthy
tissue, across multiple cancers (incl. pancreatic, triplenegative breast, T-cell lymphoma in vivo)
• Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a hard-to-treat
cancer resistant to most chemotherapies
• Minimises collateral damage to healthy organ tissues
with no notable toxicity issues
• Hudson Institute proof-of-concept (PoC) pilot showed
complete regression of TNBC in vivo following INV043
treatment
• INV043 has both fluorescence as well as ablation
characteristics (under different wavelengths of light)
• Tumour mass undetectable two weeks after initial
treatment and no scarring evident
• Applications in both diagnostic (405nm) and
therapeutic use (660nm) – theragnostic potential
• No recurrence of disease, re-challenge with TNBC
implant could not re-establish new tumours, suggesting
development of protective immunity

appropriate Animal Ethics Committee approval.
COMBINATION WITH IMMUNE CHECKPOINT INHIBITORS (ICI)
IMPROVING IMMUNOTHERAPY OUTCOMES, PARTNERSHIP POTENTIAL
•
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), a type of immunotherapy, is standard of care in treatment of several cancers
•
Despite widespread use of ICIs, the patient response rate can be as low as 12.5% 1
•
Independent in vivo studies showed combined INV043 and anti-PD-1 therapies achieved 80% tumour elimination

CREATING IMPACT FOR TREATING CANCERS GLOBALLY
NEED FOR MORE AFFORDABLE NEW TREATMENTS
Cost of new FDA drugs in
2023 jumped 35% YoY at
median price of US$300K1,
making affordability even
harder for the majority of
the world’s patients.
Trends towards personalised
medicines and targeted
therapies (e.g. CAR T / cell
therapies, immunotherapies,
antibody drug conjugates
which can cost US$100-500k2),
Half of new drugs are orphan3,
which cost 5.5 times more than
non-orphan4
Commercial Rationale for Photosoft
Works across multiple cancers without need
to personalise – precision with less complexity
INV043 is a small molecule based therapy
that is highly scalable
Photosoft solution has lower development
and manufacturing costs
Equipment and treatment process is not
complex - helps reach a larger patient base

• Safety, Dose Optimization and Efficacy: Earlier parts focus more on safety and tolerability, later parts
more on dose and schedule optimization, and efficacy. Multiple treatments may be repeated for
patients
• Significant Unmet Need: Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC) and superficial Basal Cell
Carcinoma (sBCC), 98% of all skin cancers – one of the world’s most common cancers

Ongoing screening and recruitment in Australia for NMSC trial using topical formulation
1 In a “3+3 design,” three patients are initially enrolled into a given dose cohort. If there is no DLT (dose limiting toxicity) observed in any of these subjects,
the trial proceeds to enroll additional subjects into the next higher dose cohort.
