About Invion
Invion is a life-science company that is leading the global research and development of the
Photosoft™ technology for the treatment of a range of cancers, atherosclerosis and infectious
diseases. Invion holds the exclusive Australia and New Zealand license rights and exclusive
distribution rights to Hong Kong and the rest of Asia Pacific, excluding China, Macau, Taiwan
and Japan, to the Photosoft technology for all cancer indications. It also holds the exclusive
rights to the technology in Asia and Oceania, excluding China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau,
the Middle East and Russia for atherosclerosis and infectious diseases, and subsequently
acquired the rights to the United States, Canada and Hong Kong for infectious diseases.
Research and clinical cancer trials are funded by the technology licensor, RMW Cho Group
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

PHASE II INVESTIGATOR-LED PROSTATE CANCER STUDY*
Screening: Men between 50-80 years with
▪ Biopsy proven primary prostate cancer, or
▪ Primary prostate cancer diagnosed by
PSMA-PET or MRI.
75 Patients

planned
41 Patients

(due to COVID19 disruptions)
COVID-19 Lockdowns: 10 patients

Only data
from 2nd
cohort used
PRIMARY ENDPOINT
TREATMENT PROTOCOL
To assess INV043 PDT treatment
effectiveness using Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1)
Clinical trial participants underwent a total of 6 cycles of PDT treatment
(monotherapy) over 9 weeks (3 rounds of 2 consecutive PDT cycles with
4-week interval before rounds). Each PDT cycle consisted of 2 steps.
SECONDARY ENDPOINTS
To assess safety and tolerability as well as
further assessments on effectiveness using
standard outcome measures
9
1st cohort of
25 patients
enrolled
Step 1: Sublingual administration of photosensitiser
Step 2: ~15-20 hours after dosing, 25 min of 660 nm laser administered
The treatment schedule consisted of two laser therapy cycles
conducted over 2 consecutive days (e.g. Mon, Tue), followed by a fourweek interval.
* RMW Cho Group funded study as previously disclosed to the market
PHASE II PROSTATE STUDY RESULTS: SOLID SAFETY DATA
NO SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS, ONLY MILD SIDE EFFECTS OBSERVED
INV043: Safe and Well Tolerated
INV043 appeared to be safe and well-tolerated when administered sublingually to patients over the
6 cycles of PDT treatments (based on findings from 2nd cohort of 16 treated participants):
▪ No serious adverse events, life-threatening treatment or emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
▪ No clinically significant changes in vital signs, ECGs, or clinical laboratory parameters reported on study
▪ All adverse events reported were mild
In contrast, current treatment options (eg, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery) carry risks of
significant side effects such as incontinence, bowel dysfunction, erectile dysfunction and/or infertility1

1 PSMA PET-CT now routinely used in evaluation of prostate cancer in context of primary staging and suspected tumour recurrence (Combes AD, 2022). It
employs a radioactive substance that targets a protein called PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) which is expressed by prostate cancer cells.
2 Two had received a prostatectomy prior to the photodynamic treatment and were excluded. Four patients did not have MRI scans for various reasons
(such as the presence of implants) and were excluded from the assessment.

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

The research activities involving the use of animals were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations as well as with
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

▪ 4T1 breast tumours treated using a restricted INV043 PDT protocol
(intratumoural) and / or anti PD-1 antibody (intratumoral)
▪ Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) tumours treated using a
restricted INV043 PDT protocol (topical) and / or anti PD-1 antibody
▪ Monotherapies restricted tumour growth vs untreated controls
▪ Monotherapies restricted tumour growth vs untreated controls, with
standalone INV043 showing lower tumour volume vs ICI alone
▪ Combination therapy regressed and stabilized tumours and achieved
a ~65% reduction in tumour size at endpoint (n=4/group)
▪ Combination therapy resulted in 80% tumour-free subjective at
endpoint (n=8-10/group)

WHY SKIN CANCER?
ATTRACTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL INDICATION
Relatively Cost Effective
Costs to undertake skin cancer trials typically lower than for
other routes of administration (eg, 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

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
