VivoSim Labs, Inc. Announces Availability of AI Prediction Tool Leveraging NAMkind Intestinal Models VivoSim Labs, Inc. had announced the availability of an AI prediction tool leveraging its NAMkind intestinal models to accurately predict the potential of a given drug compound to cause diarrhea in patients. The tool integrates its proprietary NAMkind ileum and colon tissues with advanced machine-learning analytics to identify drug-induced disruptions to intestinal epithelial integrity and function. Tissue-based assay data is used to train an AI predictive model in a process VivoSim has named VitroSense. The model was built using a training set of dozens of compounds. Using high-quality real-world 3d NAM assay results generated from the set of training compounds, the model attained a predictive accuracy of 96% for potential diarrhea. For a novel compound being investigated for the first time, such as from a client, multiple data endpoints are measured in NAMkind intestine assays and these data are fed into the AI prediction model to generate an overall assessment of diarrhea risk. VitroSense – the use of NAMkind-produced data to train predictive machine learning models. NAMkind intestine models allow for mimicking oral or IV administration route, and are excellent for antibody drug conjugate testing. Because of the advanced nature of the NAMkind intestinal model, the multilayered structure can be dosed either by mimicking oral administration or intravenous administration by exposing the relevant portion of the tissue – the epithelial lining or the stromal layer. As recently demonstrated at Society of Toxicology, NAMkind intestine models were also tested with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and have the ability to detect differential effects such as antibody activity on epithelium, payload impact on epithelium, and overall ADC impact on epithelium. Permeability endpoints are sensitive to the exact chemical compound, be it ADC, antibody alone, or payload. VivoSim is now working with clients to provide an effective screen for effects on the intestinal epithelium for oncology ADC candidates. NAMKind liver and small intestine toxicology services are now available in US, Europe, and via local distributor engagement across Korea and China, with VivoSim continuing to scale capacity to support expanding global demand and urgent, real-world development needs.

VivoSim Labs, Inc. Releases Antibody Drug Conjugate Data and Validates NAMkind Models for ADC Toxicity Prediction VivoSim Labs, Inc. announced at the Society of Toxicology (“SOT”) meeting in San Diego, CA, that its NAMkind™ liver and NAMkind™ Intestine models have been validated for predicting toxicity and side effect profiles of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). When considering the hundreds of ADCs in development across the globe, the potential for off-target toxicity due to their common use in oncology to deliver cytotoxic payloads, and a lack of current available scientific solutions to separate anticancer activity from unwanted cytotoxicity, the Company believes that the use of NAMkind™ models becomes a powerful tool to use in conjunction with existing methods to select and improve the best ADC candidates for drug development. Testing of approved ADC therapies in NAMkind™models shows close correlation with clinical results. VivoSim NAMkind™ liver model was shown to clearly see the toxicity of liver toxic ADCs such as gemtuzumab ozogomicin and clearly showed drugs with low liver toxicity such as enfortumab vedotin as lacking liver toxicity. Issues of linker cleavage and target engagement can be studied, as differential toxicity between drugs like trastuzumab emtansine and trastuzumab deruxtecan were demonstrated with strong comparability to clinical outcomes. NAMkind™ intestine models were also validated with ADCs and have the ability to detect differential effects such as antibody activity on epithelium, payload impact on epithelium, and overall ADC impact on epithelium. Permeability endpoints are sensitive to the exact chemical compound, be it ADC, antibody alone, or payload. NAMKind™ liver and small intestine toxicology services are now available in the US, Europe, and via local distributor engagement across Korea and China, with VivoSim continuing to scale capacity to support expanding global demand and urgent, real-world development needs.

VivoSim to Debut Antibody Drug Conjugate Data, Representing A Major New Market for Namkind Models, At Society of Toxicology Meeting in San Diego VivoSim Labs, Inc. announced it will attend the Society of Toxicology meeting in San Diego, CA that takes place March 22-25 and present new data on its NAMkind liver and NAMkind Intestine model, including data on validating the models for use in predicting toxicity and side effect profiles of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). Considering the hundreds of ADCs in development across the globe, the potential for off target toxicity due to their common use in oncology to deliver cytotoxic payloads, and a lack of current available scientific solutions to separate anticancer activity from unwanted cytotoxicity, the use of NAMkind models becomes a powerful tool to use in conjunction with existing methods to select and improve the best ADC candidates for drug development. VivoSim NAMkind models can reveal details of target engagement in organ tissues, premature linker cleavage, biomarker effects and more in complex human cell models that replicate much of the target tissue biology in a controlled experimental setting. Testing of approved ADC therapies in NAMkind models shows close correlation with clinical results. NAMkind models have now been tested against a wide set of marketed ADC molecules, showing close correlation with clinical results in terms of the toxic impact in the liver and side effect profile in the intestine (causing diarrhea). These results will be presented for the first time at SOT in San Diego. NAMkind liver and small intestine toxicology services are now available in US, Europe, and via local distributor engagement across Korea and China, with VivoSim continuing to scale capacity to support expanding global demand and urgent, real-world development needs.

VivoSim Labs, Inc. Presents Best-In-Class Liver Toxicology Prediction Results at Digestive Disease Week Conference VivoSim Labs, Inc. announced that its NAMkind platform for liver toxicology prediction, provided as a commercial service to pharmaceutical companies, was featured in an oral presentation at the Digestive Disease Week Conference (San Diego, CA, May 2-6, 2025) showing best-in-class predictive power against a set of test liver compounds. VivoSim's liver predictive power was shown to be 87.5% for a set of challenging liver toxicity cases - inclusive of classic cases of "liver tox misses" drugs with unforeseen liver toxicity found in clinical trials or drugs that were withdrawn from the market after liver toxicity issues emerged later. The platform identified correctly that 87.5% of the known liver-toxic drugs could be seen as liver toxic using NAMkind liver. This is known as the sensitivity of the platform, which at 87.5% is a world's best. VivoSim's NAMkind liver model is a physical organoid wet lab model of liver made using cells from human donors. VivoSim is also developing what it believes will be industry-best in silico predictions of liver tox. Artificial intelligence (AI) models in VivoSim's NAM kind™? services suite will be trained on extensive set of proprietary, real-world data from organoid models made from human donor cells, giving much richer and more extensive information than is possible with data from human clinical trials. VivoSim offers liver and intestinal toxicology insights using its premier new approach methodologies (NAM) models, following the announcement of FDA to phase out animal testing requirements in favor of these non-animal NAM methods. The FDA's push to phase out animal models, announced on April 10, is expected to provide a powerful accelerant to VivoSim's market adoption, disrupting a >$10B animal testing market with models that are more predictive and ethically sound. VivoSim has the capability to help transform the way drug development is done. By substantially reducing failures in clinical trials, the company believes it can help reduce the cost of development per approved drug by 50% across the industry. As a result of the inability to fully predict liver toxicity, a number of drugs still fail clinical trials at late stages or are pulled from the market after launch due to unforeseen liver toxicity. VivoSim believes it will cut the incidence of such events by 50% or more. VivoSim's N AMkind™? intestine models can also deliver readouts on endpoints that are not available to industry scientists selecting from many candidate drug molecules. As a result of the lack of such tools, a cancer patient might suffer nausea, vomiting, or intestinal problems, or a patient's needed chemotherapy dose might be lower than it could be due to such conditions. VivoSim aims to provide transformative solutions for these challenges. The FDA has laid out ambitious goals to phase out animal testing requirements as much as possible. VivoSim is launching to fill in the much-needed gap in commercially available solutions. The technology exists to achieve according to FDA Commissioner Marty A. Makary's vision, which he expressed in March 2025 with the rollout of FDA's push to move away from animal testing and towards NAM models.

The meeting was held November 15-19, 2024 in San Diego, California. The presentation entitled “Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of the Novel Non-bile Acid FXR Agonist FXR314 in Patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis: Results from a Phase 2 Study” was presented on Sunday, November 17 in the MASLD and MASH – New therapies session. Dr. Lawitz shared the complete details of the 16-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2 study of FXR314 in MASH patients. A total of 214 patients were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to either 3 mg or 6 mg of FXR314, or placebo. Study results demonstrated statistically significant reduction in liver fat content from baseline in patients receiving FXR314 compared to placebo, and a safety profile demonstrating significantly lower pruritus rates than seen with other FXR agonists. Study subjects receiving FXR314 achieved statistically significant reduction in liver fat content from baseline, with LS mean %reduction at end of treatment of 22.8% (p=0.0010) with 3 mg and 17.5% (p=0.0267) with 6 mg doses of FXR314 compared to 6.1% in the placebo group. The proportion of subjects with >30% magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) reduction was 29.2% (p=0.0023) and 32.2% (p=0.0020) for 3 mg and 6 mg FXR314, respectively, compared to 9.5% with placebo. Investigators observed improvements in hepatocellular damage and liver function based on serological measures, with no evidence of worsening of liver fibrosis. FXR314 was also found to be safe and well tolerated. Treatment-emergent adverse events were mostly mild to moderate in severity, with incidence comparable between FXR314 3 mg, 6 mg, and placebo. Drug-related treatment discontinuation was low in frequency and similar across groups. FXR314 did not demonstrate significant adverse events typical of the FXR class, including pruritus (3 mg 2.8%, 6 mg 4.2% and placebo 2.8%) and LDL-C levels (change from baseline of 1.5%, 4.5% and -3.6% for 3mg, 6mg, and placebo groups respectively).

In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period. The Notice provides that the Nasdaq staff will provide written confirmation to the Company if the Company regains compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). If the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by January 14, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such a notification, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Nasdaq staff would grant any request for continued listing. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ONVO". The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and consider its available options if its common stock does not trade at a level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by January 14, 2025, including effecting a reverse stock split, which would be subject to the prior approval of the Company's stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement or that the Company will maintain its compliance with the other listing requirements necessary for the Company to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 65% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.6% per year for the foreseeable future. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (65% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (US$109k revenue). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$15m net loss in 2 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$13.7m market cap). New Risk • Jun 05
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.6% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 1.6% per year for the foreseeable future. Revenue is less than US$1m (US$109k revenue). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$15m net loss in 2 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (49% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$12.9m market cap). Reported Earnings • Jun 04

Organovo Holdings, Inc. Announces Positive Phase 2 Results for FXR314 in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis Showing Both Reduction in Liver Fat Content and Strong Safety and Tolerability Compared to Placebo Organovo Holdings, Inc. released the complete details of its 16-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2 study of the non-steroidal, non-bile acid FXR agonist FXR agonist FXR314 for the treatment of metabolic function-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Study results demonstrated statistically significant reduction in liver fat content from baseline in patients receiving FXR314 compared to placebo. Study subjects receiving FXR314 achieved statistically significant reduction in liver fat Content from baseline, with LS mean% reduction at end of treatment of 22.8% (p=0.0023) with 3 mg and 17.5% (p=0.0267) with 6 mg doses of FXR314 compared to 6.1% in the placebo group. The proportion of subjects with >30% magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) reduction was 29.2% (p=0.00023) and 32.2% (p= 0.0020) for 3 mg and 6 mg FXR314, respectively, compared to 9.5% with placebo. Investigators observed improvements in liver function based on serological measures, with no evidence of worsening of liver fibrosis. FXR314 was also found to be safe and well tolerated. There was also no evidence with FXR314 of adverse events considered common in the FXR class, including measures of pruritus (3 mg 2.8%, 6 mg 4.2% and placebo 2.8%) andLDL-C levels (change from baseline of 1.5%, 4.5% and -3.6% for 3mg, 6mg, and placebo groups respectively). The clinical trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacological activity of FXR314, as measured by reductions in liver fat content with magnetic resonance imaging-derived pro ton density fat fraction (MRI- PDFF), changes in liver enzymes, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and incidence of pruritus. The treatment population were MASH patients diagnosed via biopsy, magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), or transient elastography (TE FibroScan), and who had liver fat content 10% as measured by MRI-PDFF. A total of 214 patients were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to either 3 mg or 6 mg of FXR314, or placebo. Treatment was administered orally once daily for 16 weeks. The Company expects that detailed findings of this study (Clinical trial registry NCT047773964) will be presented at an upcoming conference. New Risk • Apr 16
New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 13% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (US$242k revenue). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (15% increase in shares outstanding).

The presentation highlights preclinical data characterizing the activity of FXR314 in 3D models of human Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. FXR314 broadly improved measures of epithelial barrier function in a subset of donors, and fibrotic markers in all Crohn's disease donors. The company plans to begin enrollment for a proof-of-concept Phase 2 ulcerative colitis study in 2024, with targeted completion in 2025. The drug’s additional promise in liver fibrosis and NASH makes it a strong candidate for development in that. New Risk • Jan 04

Organovo Holdings, Inc. Provides Timing for Release of FXR314 Phase 2 NASH Results Organovo Holdings, Inc. announced that it will release final and complete data from a Phase 2a trial of FXR314 in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients by April 2024. The Company anticipates presentations at scientific meetings as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals. The release of this data will be the first public release of the completed clinical trial data. In an already reported interim analysis of about 60 patients after 16 weeks of treatment, FXR314 lowered liver fat content as demonstrated by a reduction in the median MRI-PDFF score of 28.6% in the 3 mg cohort and 26.9% in the 6 mg group compared with a reduction of only 1.5% in the placebo group. Post-hoc comparative assessment of relative liver fat reduction in the interim cohort found the decrease with 3 mg to be statistically significant compared to placebo (p=0.006). In a measure of activity in individual patients, FXR314 achieved greater than 30% liver fat reduction in 47% of patients (8/17) in the 3 mg cohort and 35% (6/17) in the 6 mg cohort, compared with 12% (2/17) in the placebo arm. FXR314 was generally well-tolerated in this NASH population, with no treatment-related serious adverse events (AEs). All treatment-related AEs were mild-moderate with no apparent dose relationship. Mild-moderate pruritus was reported in one patient in the 3 mg cohort and one patient in the 6 mg cohort. No pruritus-related treatment discontinuations occurred. Organovo plans to begin enrollment for a proof-of-concept Phase 2 ulcerative colitis study in 1H 2024, with targeted completion in 1H 2025. The drug’s additional promise in liver fibrosis and NASH makes it a strong candidate for development in that area through partnership collaborations with Organovo. Major Estimate Revision • Nov 16
