Invion Doses First Patient in Phase I/II Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Trial
Invion Limited (ASX: IVX) (“Invion” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the dosing of the first patient in its Phase I/II non- melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) trial conducted at Veracity Clinical Research (Veracity) in Brisbane.
Highlights:
- First patient has been dosed in Invion’s open label Phase I/II non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) trial using topical INV043.
- The study is being conducted at Veracity Clinical Research’s facilities, based in Queensland Australia.
- Skin cancer is one of the world’s most common cancers and NMSC constitutes >98% of all skin cancers1 with the global treatment market to hit US$21.1 billion by 20322.
- Preclinical studies indicate INV043 may have distinct advantages over current NMSC treatments, such as efficacy without scarring and with minimal pain.
- The NMSC trial follows the release of promising Phase II prostate cancer trial results using INV043, and Invion plans to leverage the NMSC data into a planned Phase II anogenital cancer trial
The trial marks a significant milestone for Invion and is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its lead drug candidate INV043, a novel photosensitiser developed in Australia for use in Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of multiple cancers.
Trial Design and Objectives
This open-label, adaptive trial provides flexibility to go beyond the testing and collection of human safety data of the topical formulation of INV043.
The initial part of the study aims to assess the safety profile of the topically applied INV043 in non-metastatic cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC). Subsequent parts aim to address dose optimisation (dose-light interval and light intensity) and the identification of efficacy signals. Part 3 will expand testing to include superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma (sBCC)
The adaptive design allows for modifications to the trial procedures based on interim results, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the study. As such, the trial will enrol a minimum of 18 patients, which can be increased depending on the results.
Veracity will select male and female patients over the age of 18 with non-metastatic cSCC and sBCC, although other NMSCs may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Other screening criteria include size and location of the lesion.
Significance of NMSC
Skin cancer is one of the world’s most common cancers and NMSC makes up over 98% of all skin cancers1 with the global treatment market to hit US$21.1 billion by 20322. The prevalence of the disease highlights the urgent need for effective and affordable treatments with minimal side effects.
Currently, the mainstream treatment for SCC and BCC is surgery, which can lead to permanent scarring. Preclinical studies undertaken at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research showed the potential for INV043 to regress cancers without scarring and with minimal pain.
Next Steps
The NMSC trial follows the release of promising results from a Phase II prostate cancer trial using the same active pharmaceutical ingredient, INV043. Once the trial results have been analysed, in addition to progressing the NMSC program, Invion plans to leverage this data into a planned Phase II anogenital cancer trial using topical INV043, and potentially including the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) on the back of solid in vivo data from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
This study showed 80% complete pathological control of anal squamous skin cancers versus a 12% response rate on ICI treatments on a standalone basis.
The Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Invion, Thian Chew, said:
“Having the first patient dosed in our NMSC trial is a significant milestone for Invion in demonstrating the potential for the Photosoft technology to address limitations and undesirable side effects of current standard of care for NMSCs, including scarring and pain.”
“On the back of the recently announced prostate cancer results, this trial can also provide clinical evidence that INV043 can be safely used in more than one formulation to treat multiple cancers. This can then open up the potential for our next-generation PDT to become an important alternative modality for treating cancers.”
The NMSC trial will be conducted under International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) good clinical practice (GCP) and ISO 14155 standards.

New Clinical Trial
The newly executed clinical trial agreement (Agreement) is worth an estimated AUD $13.775 million in revenue to the Resonance group over the next ~24 months, with the first payment of AUD $2.066 million due within 30 days of Agreement execution. Resonance, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CRO Services Pty Ltd (CRO Services), will serve as CRO and Local (Australian) Sponsor for the Customer and will engage and make payment to the institutions, trial sites, and the vendors needed to conduct the Clinical Trial.

It is notable that trial sites are among the largest vendors for clinical trials of this nature, so a benefit of the TrialsWest acquisition is that a significant portion of the revenues payable to trial sites will now stay within the Resonance group.
The Company expects patient recruitment for the Clinical Trial could commence in early 2025, subject to receipt of Regulatory Approvals, with both TrialsWest sites expected to play a key role in the recruitment of subjects and the conduct of the Clinical Trial.
This contract win highlights Resonance’s strategy of providing its technology and services to the burgeoning and highly technical global pharma and clinical trials markets.
The material commercial terms of the Agreement are set out at Annex A.
Resonance Health CEO, Mr Andrew Harrison commented:
“The Agreement is a direct result of the incredible work the team have done in executing the existing clinical trial with the customer and more broadly the Company’s focus on winning more work in the global clinical trials ecosystem. This illustrates our ability to win repeat work from customers, and our capacity to scale the size of contract wins.”

ISLA-101 Phase 2a/b PROTECT Clinical Trial Progress Update
Australian antiviral drug development company, Island Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: ILA; Island or the Company) is pleased to announce progress on its ISLA-101 Phase 2a/b clinical trial in dengue fever.
- All key data samples have been collected following dosing of all subjects in the Phase 2a (prophylactic) trial as part of Island’s ISLA-101 Phase 2a/b PROTECT clinical trial in dengue fever
- Data currently being consolidated for review by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) in the coming weeks
- On track to release SRC recommendation on advancing the trial to Phase 2b by end of this calendar year
In Island’s Phase 2a trial, subjects receive ISLA-101 before being infected with a weakened dengue virus developed by the US Army. The trial aims to assess whether ISLA-101 can prevent or reduce viremia and symptoms compared to a placebo, based on previous control data showing elevated viremia and symptoms in untreated subjects.
Following the announcement (ASX: 3 October 2024) that all subjects in the Phase 2a cohort of the trial had been dosed, Island confirms it has now collected the required samples to analyse how the viremia (viral load) levels in the blood of trial subjects have changed through the study. Other samples are being analysed for pharmacokinetic data as well as other blood analyses.
This data is currently being consolidated for review by the Safety Review Committee (SRC), who will meet in the coming weeks. The SRC will evaluate the safety of ISLA-101 in dengue infected individuals and consider if there is evidence of anti-dengue activity. They will then make a recommendation regarding advancing the trial to the Phase 2b cohort before the end of the calendar year.
Island’s CEO and Managing Director, Dr David Foster commented, “We are very pleased to be able to report that 46 days into the trial, we’ve collected the key data required for evaluation by the Safety Review Committee. From here, while we will continue to check in with patients up to 90 days post dosing, we look forward to providing all the data to the SRC for evaluation in the coming weeks. Importantly, this means we remain on track to report data before the end of the year from our Phase 2a component, and next steps for the Phase 2b cohort before the end of the year.”
Phase 2b will include 10 subjects randomised 8:2 (active: placebo) and will examine if ISLA-101 has activity as a treatment against dengue infection. This is the first time a potential countermeasure to combat the dengue virus, which afflicts more than 400 million individuals a year and for which there is no therapeutic option, is being investigated as both a preventative and therapeutic measure.
