Invion: Revolutionizing Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for Cancer, Infectious Diseases

Invion (ASX:IVX) is a clinical-stage Australian life sciences company pioneering the next generation of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Invion is advancing a transformative approach to disease treatment and diagnosis with a platform grounded in preclinical promise and growing clinical validation.

At the core of Invion’s platform is Photosoft, a proprietary suite of next-generation photosensitizers that selectively accumulate in diseased cells. Upon light activation, these compounds trigger a targeted oxidative stress response, leading to cell death with high precision. Unlike traditional PDT agents, Photosoft compounds are engineered to overcome the limitations of toxicity, off-target damage, and limited immune engagement. They are designed to deliver enhanced safety, selectivity, immune system activation, and theragnostic capabilities.

Invion\u2019s commercial rationale for photosoft

Invion is strategically expanding its clinical and commercial footprint through non-dilutive global partnerships that accelerate development while preserving shareholder value. In South Korea, Hanlim Pharm is fully funding the preclinical development of Photosoft for two high-need indications: glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) — one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain cancers — and oesophageal cancer. Under the terms of the partnership, Hanlim covers all development costs, while Invion retains full ownership of the underlying intellectual property, positioning the company to benefit from future global opportunities.

Company Highlights

  • Clinical-stage Pipeline in Multiple Indications: Successfully completed Phase II prostate cancer trial, ongoing Phase I/II skin cancer trial, and anogenital cancer trial initiating in 2025. Multiple cancer and infectious disease programs underway.
  • Photosoft Platform Technology: Combines cancer selectivity, immune system activation, and minimal toxicity. Preclinical studies show INV043 can regress multiple cancers, deliver superior safety and efficacy and improve tumour control to 80 percent in combination therapy studies with blockbuster ICIs (vs 12 percent with ICIs alone).
  • Renowned Partners & Global Pharma-funded Collaborations: Working with distinguished research institutions like Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Hudson Institute of Medical Research. Further, Hanlim Pharm (GBM, oesophageal cancer) and Dr.inB (HPV) are funding multiple programs without requiring Invion to contribute capital or give up IP.
  • Theragnostic Capability: Photosoft compounds enable both treatment and imaging, allowing for highly precise cancer targeting and enhanced surgical decision-making.
  • Strong Clinical and IP Foundation: GMP-grade INV043 manufactured and patented in Australia, with global IP protection extending to at least 2041.
  • Compelling Upside: Following a share consolidation and reduced overhangs, IVX offers significant re-rating potential with multiple clinical readouts expected over the next six to 12 months.

Pfizer's Sasanlimab Combination Significantly Improves Event-Free Survival in BCG-Naïve, High-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

  • Pivotal Phase 3 CREST trial results show a 32% reduction in the risk of disease-related events, including high-grade disease recurrence or progression, with sasanlimab in combination with standard of care (SOC) Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) regimen compared to SOC alone
  • Sasanlimab, a subcutaneously administered PD-1 inhibitor, in combination with BCG represents the first potential treatment advancement for BCG-naïve, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in more than 30 years
  • Results have been shared with global health authorities to support potential regulatory filings

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced results from the pivotal Phase 3 CREST trial of sasanlimab, an investigational anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), in combination with standard of care (SOC) Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) as induction therapy with or without maintenance in patients with BCG-naïve, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The trial met its primary endpoint of event-free survival (EFS) by investigator assessment, demonstrating a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement with sasanlimab in combination with BCG (induction and maintenance) as compared to BCG alone (induction and maintenance): Hazard Ratio (HR) of 0.68; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.49-0.94; 2-sided p=0.019; median EFS not yet reached. These findings show a 32% reduction in risk of disease-related events, including high-grade disease recurrence or progression, with the sasanlimab combination regimen as compared with SOC treatment alone. Pre-specified subgroup analyses for patients harboring higher risk disease showed consistent benefit with EFS HR of 0.63 (0.41, 0.96) for T1 disease, and EFS HR 0.53 (0.29, 0.98) for those with CIS disease.

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) announced today that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to expand its recommendation for the use of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines approved for adults 50-59 years of age at increased risk of RSV-associated lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD). This includes ABRYSVO ® (Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine), which in October 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved for the prevention of RSV-associated LRTD in adults aged 18 to 59 at increased risk of severe disease.

Pfizer Provides Update on Oral GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Danuglipron

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced the decision to discontinue development of danuglipron (PF-06882961), an oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which was being investigated for chronic weight management.

Pfizer's dose-optimization studies of once-daily formulations of danuglipron ( NCT06567327 and NCT06568731 ) met key pharmacokinetic objectives and confirmed a formulation and dose with the potential to deliver a competitive efficacy and tolerability profile in Phase 3 testing, based on earlier studies of twice-daily danuglipron. While the overall frequency of liver enzyme elevations across the over 1,400 participant safety database of danuglipron is in-line with approved agents in the class, a single asymptomatic participant in one of the dose-optimization studies experienced potential drug-induced liver injury which resolved after discontinuation of danuglipron. After a review of the totality of information, including all clinical data generated to date for danuglipron and recent input from regulators, Pfizer has decided to discontinue development of the molecule.
