Theracryf plc Receives Notice of Allowance from the Canadian Patent Office for Its Orexin-1 Addiction Programme TheraCryf plc announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the Canadian Patent Office for its Orexin-1 (Ox-1) addiction programme, alongside a positive update on ongoing preclinical development. The Canadian patent represents the final major market to grant for this intellectual property, completing broad protection across the US, Europe, Canada and key Asian territories. The patent provides Composition of Matter, the strongest form of patent cover available, conferring long-term exclusivity and significantly strengthening the commercial and partnering proposition for the programme. The Group also reports continued progress on its Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Dose Range Finding (DRF) studies, which commenced earlier this month. The MTD have now been successfully completed, with two species dosed up to the regulatory maximum, 1g/kg of the orexin-1 blocker, with no adverse clinical observations reported. This favourable outcome further de-risks the programme and enables progression into repeat-dose DRF studies, the results of which will inform the dosing for the planned 28-day regulatory toxicity studies scheduled in First Quarter and Second Quarter 2026, depending on species. This is a near final step on the path to IND/CTA readiness targeted for 2026. TheraCryf's lead programme, is a novel, best-in-class orexin-1 blocker., being developed as a potential treatment for addiction, including alcohol and other substance use disorders. The programme demonstrates class-leading selectivity and high receptor occupancy, characteristics which are expected to translate into improved tolerability and efficacy. Blocking the orexin-1 pathway has been shown to reduce aberrant substance-seeking behaviour in animal models, and the orexin pathway has attracted strong interest in the pharmaceutical sector. Addiction represents a large and growing global market, with substantial unmet medical need and significant human, social and economic impact, making it an attractive indication for development and commercialisation.

Theracryf Plc Starts 2026 Positive, A Key Milestone on the Path to Clinical Ready for Its Ox-1 Orexin Bladder Potential Treatment for Addiction Disorders TheraCryf plc has started 2026 positively, achieving a key milestone on the path to clinical readiness for its Ox-1 orexin blocker potential treatment for addictive disorders. Process for large-scale manufacturing of drug substance established Scale-up achieved on schedule with a manufacturing yield in excess of target 10.6kg produced to supply critical 28-day regulatory toxicology studies. Dosing in two species has now commenced to identify maximum tolerated dose for 28-day regulatory toxicology study. These studies will begin in first quarter of 2026, depending on species. All studies on schedule to complete third quarter of 2026. Manufacturing scale-up and completion of 28-day toxicology studies were highlighted, during the successful placing in March 2025, as the two key milestones remaining in the Ox-1 programme to achieve clinical readiness. Scale-up of the Ox-1 compound to 10kg has now been achieved on schedule and with a yield in excess of expectations. This drug substance will be used in the 28-day regulatory toxicology projects scheduled to commence, in first quarter and second quarter of 2020 in two species. These studies will provide essential data for the planned regulatory submission later in the year and represent the last major hurdle to achieving that goal. Before starting the 28-day toxicology studies, the Maximum Tolerated Dose and Dose Range Finding studies need to be completed. This work has now started. These studies will identify the 'therapeutic index' of the orexin-1 blocker - that is the range between which the dose is expected to have a therapeutic effect and the highest dose of compound reached before any harmful effects are observed. Ox-1 is TheraCryf's lead asset, an orexin-1 blocker, being developed as a potential treatment for addiction, blocks a pathway in the brain (orexin-1) known to be over-active in individuals with addiction. This group of conditions have significant human and economic impact globally. Blocking the overactivity of this pathway is known to reduce aberrant substance seeking behaviour in animal models. Drugs that can block this pathway have generated significant commercial interest and TheraCryf's orexin-1 blocker is the most selective yet developed, indicating class leading potential.

New minor risk - Financial data availability The company's latest financial reports are more than 6 months old. Last reported fiscal period ended September 2023. This is considered a minor risk. If the company has not reported its earnings on time, it may have been delayed due to audit problems or it may be finding it difficult to reconcile its accounts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 7.3% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (55% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 55% 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (95% average weekly change).

The data are contained in the extensive Clinical Study Report (CSR) which has been approved by the Company and its providers in compliance with good clinical practice (GCP). Highlights · As reported in March 2023, based on the time course seen, sulforaphane was released by the new enteric coated tablet beyond the acid environment of the stomach · No serious adverse events were observed · Total blood levels of sulforaphane (SFN) and SFN-metabolites were confirmed in the micromolar range, where efficacy is seen in vitro · Additional pharmacodynamic exploratory investigation, utilising mRNA sequencing, showed changes in gene expression after dosing with SFX-01 even in healthy volunteers In addition to the biomarkers analysed in the study and contained within the CSR, changes in gene expression were measured by mRNA sequencing on participants' blood, for placebo and SFX-01 treated subjects that received 600mg once daily. The initial analysis identified a large number of significant differentially expressed genes in the SFX-01 treated group, between blood samples taken before the first dose was administered (baseline) and blood samples taken after the first dose timepoint (6 hours after first dose). Further analysis will be undertaken on this large and complex dataset to gain insight into the particular genes identified. Further disease-related mechanistic insight will also be provided from future clinical studies in patients. New Risk • Aug 03
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €8.94m (US$9.79m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.9% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 5.9% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£442k revenue, or US$549k).

Evgen Pharma plc Announces Clinical Trial Update Evgen Pharma plc announces the start of recruitment for the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic trial in healthy volunteers (HV) and the decision to commence an Investigator Sponsored clinical study (ISS) for the glioblastoma programme. The purpose of the HV study is to examine the performanceof Evgen's new enteric coated tablet formulation of lead asset SFX-01. Following the regulatory approval announced on 3 October 2022, the study is now open for recruitment and the first subjects are expected to enter the trial on schedule this week. The trial is a placebo-controlled, dose-escalating, randomised trial that will assess how SFX-01 in its new form and formulation is absorbed and circulates in the body, and how it engages with target molecules. Results of the HV study are expected during the first half of 2023. In glioblastoma (GBM), Evgen has been consulting widely with world-renowned experts in the treatment of brain cancers with regards to the planned study. These key opinion leaders have advised that further pre-clinical work and an early-stage clinical trial of SFX-01 in patients with GBM should be conducted, to acquire more clarity on sulforaphane entering the brain tumour and its interaction with molecular targets in the tumour tissue of GBM patients. The Company expects that this approach will further de-risk the Phase 2 clinical trial. This preliminary clinical work will be conducted as an Investigator Sponsored Study, led byDr Marjolein Geurts, neuro-oncologist at the Erasmus University Medical Centre, the Netherlands. The Erasmus group has extensive experience in glioblastoma research, with several studies and numerous publications in this field. Evgen has already received positive and supportive regulatory scientific advice from the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board (MEB), which also states that there are no specific concerns related to the clinical safety profile of SFX-01 based on available data. If the pre-clinical and ISS clinical work is successful, the trial programme is likely to be continued as an Evgen-sponsored trial. Evgen will update on the timing of this trial in due course.

Evgen Pharma plc Announces Early Data for SFX-01 in Leukaemia Cell Lines Evgen Pharma plc announced preclinical data demonstrating that SFX-01 was effective in vitro models of certain blood cancers. The data were generated by Dr. Eleni Louka and Professor Adam Mead of the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at Oxford University. The study investigated the effect of SFX-01 on cells from tissue donated by patients with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukaemia ("JMML"), through the UK Paediatric MDS/JMML study. These patients carry a specific mutation of the PTPN11 gene. The data demonstrated significant reduction of cell proliferation and increased apoptosis (cell death) of JMML stem cells in the presence of SFX-01, compared to normal controls. The study also showed that SFX-01 significantly impacted cell proliferation and increased cytotoxicity in GDM-1 cells, an Acute Myelomonocytic Leukaemia cell line ("AML"). Whilst this is preliminary data from a small sample size, the Company was encouraged to observe a statistically significant effect in reducing cell proliferation and increasing apoptosis. The PTPN11 gene codes for the SHP2 protein (Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2). In January, Evgen announced in-vitro and in-vivo data generated by Professor Philip Eaton, Queen Mary University of London, demonstrating that SFX-01 modifies SHP2. Mutations of the PTPN11 gene are among the commonest molecular defects described in JMML patients, indicating that SFX-01 should be investigated further as a potential disease modifying agent in PTPN11-mutated haematological malignancies. The Company is now assessing the optimal preclinical and clinical strategy for a development programme of SFX-01 in blood cancers such as JMML and AML and will update shareholders when this is completed.

Evgen Pharma plc Announces Glioma Orphan Drug Application Submitted to US FDA Evgen Pharma plc announced the filing of an Orphan Drug Designation Request with the US Food and Drug Administration (''FDA'') for use of SFX-01 to treat malignant glioma. Over the last year a strong package of preclinical data has been developed in vitro and in vivo glioblastoma ("GBM") models. In particular, data generated at University L'Aquila showed that with in vivo pre-clinical subcutaneous and orthotopic models (where glioma cells are implanted in brain tissue representing a more disease-relevant model), SFX-01 produced tumour shrinkage and significantly extended survival times. SFX-01 was also found to potentiate (i.e. substantially increase) the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy in these models. Recently the in vitro data from these experiments have been reproduced with very similar results at the University of Auckland using cells generated from freshly extracted patient GBM tissue, rather than the standard GBM cell lines established many decades previously. The Company, with its regulatory advisers has submitted an Orphan Drug application to the FDA. It is expected that, if granted, Orphan Drug ("OD") status would be conferred for SFX-01 in the US this year. OD is usually granted when there are fewer than 200,000 patients with a given disease in the United States and there is a scientific rationale for potential use of the product in that condition. In addition to recognising the relative rareness of a disease and the implications for clinical trials, a successful OD confers separate intellectual property cover to an investigational drug in the form of data protection which is additional to any patent cover in force. Ultimately tax credits are possible on eventual US sales of an approved orphan drug. In parallel, an Investigational New Drug dossier is being prepared for submission to the FDA around the end of the year, to support a Phase II trial in glioma/glioblastoma that is being planned for commencement in the first half of 2022.

Evgen Pharma plc Provides Update on Data Safety Review for STAR COVID-19 Trial Evgen Pharma plc announced that after a review of the first 60 patients enrolled, the Data Safety Monitoring Committee ("DMC") for the STAR COVID-19 ("SFX-01 Treatment for Acute Respiratory infections") trial has concluded that there are no concerns regarding patient safety or data quality that would prevent continuation of the trial. The Phase II/III trial is a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study of the Company's lead asset, SFX-01, in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (''ARDS''). The trial is co-sponsored by the University of Dundee and NHS Tayside and funded by the UK charity LifeArc. It is investigating whether the Company's lead asset, SFX-01, can reduce the severity, or prevent the onset of, acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with suspected COVID-19. Patients may be included in the study if they are infected with SARS-CoV-2 or other respiratory infections causing community-acquired pneumonia. Following this positive step, the next event in the trial involves an assessment of safety and futility by the DMC of unblinded data on the first 100 patients treated. In addition to the DMC safety and futility assessment, Dundee University has decided to review the top-level unblinded data in a preliminary assessment of possible efficacy. This may lead to adjustments to the design of the trial for remaining patients, including in-patient numbers, and possibly early termination for either safety, futility or alternatively, strong efficacy. It is expected that this initial data will be available during Second Quarter of the calendar year 2021. Completion of recruitment to the STAR trial is anticipated at the end of 2021/early 2022, assuming there are no substantial changes in the total patients to be recruited. Duyuru • Feb 18
Evgen Pharma plc Updates on Patient Recruitment Evgen Pharma plc announced that as of 16 February, a total of 102 patients had been recruited and randomised to the STAR trial ("SFX-01 Treatment for Acute Respiratory infections"). This Phase II/III trial is a randomised, placebo-controlled trial, sponsored by the University of Dundee and funded by the UK charity LifeArc. It is investigating whether the company's lead asset, SFX-01, can reduce the severity, or prevent the onset of, acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS") in patients with suspected COVID-19. Patients may be included in the study if they are infected with SARS-CoV-2 or another respiratory infections causing community-acquired pneumonia. The trial design includes an assessment of safety and futility by a Data Safety and Monitoring Board ("DSMB") who will review unblinded data on the first 100 patients treated. In addition to the DSMB safety and futility assessment, Dundee University ("the Sponsor") has decided to review the top-level unblinded data in a preliminary assessment of possible efficacy. This may lead to adjustments to the design of the trial for remaining patients, including in patient numbers, and possibly early termination for either safety, futility or alternatively, strong efficacy. It is expected that this initial data will be available during the second quarter of calendar 2021. The Sponsor has also requested that the DSMB review data from the first 60 patients solely for safety and this process will be starting shortly. The outcome of this is expected to be available in early Second Quarter 2021. Completion of recruitment to the STAR trial is anticipated at the end of 2021/Q1 2022, assuming there are no substantial changes in the total patients to be recruited. Duyuru • Feb 03
