MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) 18 April 2019: Invion Limited (ASX: IVX) (“Invion” or “Company”) has
lodged its Appendix 4C for the quarter ending 31 March 2019.
$1.4M in R&D services income was received during the March quarter through Invion’s R&D
Services Agreement (Agreement) with The Cho Group, which provides funding for corporate,
R&D, clinical trial and operating costs associated with Invion’s global development of the
PhotosoftTM technology for the treatment of a range of cancers.
Forecast expenditure for future quarters, including the June quarter as is reported in the
Appendix 4C, will also be funded via the Agreement.
Invion is pleased to confirm that the pre-clinical work relating to the upcoming Phase 1b trial
for BCC is on track, with data anticipated to be reported in Q4 2019.
The successful completion of this initial human trial will enable Invion to move towards a
pivotal human trial for BCC and AK before the end of the 2019 calendar year.
This is a significant opportunity for Invion, the exclusive licensee of the PhotosoftTM technology
in Australia and New Zealand, as the BCC and AK market in Australia alone is estimated to
be worth $703 million and growing.
In the current quarter, Invion anticipates further data from its orthotopic mouse model study
of photodynamic therapy for ovarian cancer, being undertaken via its Research Alliance
with the Hudson Institute of Medical Research.

About Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Invion is driving the development of the 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. In contrast to surgery, or 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.
