Thank you Brandon Capital , along with all of our other incredible shareholders, for supporting us through these vital stages of development! Support from local VCs and investors allows Australian-made, innovative products like ours the chance to capture markets globally! Something we’ll be focussing on in our pivotal late-stage clinical trials early 2025 under our IND submission to the FDA #glaucoma #investment #biotechnology #innovation

👁️ PolyActiva is thrilled to report our latest clinical data from our Phase 2a trial testing PA5108, a 6-month sustained-release ocular implant for patients suffering from glaucoma. PA5108 has successfully met the safety and efficacy endpoints in the repeat-dose cohort, demonstrating a statistically significant change from baseline in intraocular pressure (IOP) at weeks 12, 21, 33 and 42 (p<0.0001). Clinically meaningful IOP reductions of 26-35% were observed over 48 weeks. Most importantly to us, the implant was found to be safe and generally well tolerated by trial participants following repeat-dosing over 48 weeks of monitoring! These results demonstrate that PA5108 could be used to treat patients' glaucoma long-term over multiple doses without the compliance and dosing issues that come with drop therapy. PolyActiva is scaling up our manufacturing capabilities to support the commencement of late-stage clinical trials in early 2025, with trials to be conducted under an IND submission to the FDA.

🚨 PolyActiva 's CEO, Vanessa Waddell , and our Head of Product Development & Technical Affairs, Justine Walter , will both be attending AusBiotech 2024 starting tomorrow at Melbourne's Convention & Exhibition Centre. With so many incredible industry leaders and experts attending, we can't wait to see what the next few days has in store for us! If you're in the area and would like to catch up with our team, reach out and say hello 👋 We'd love to fill you in on what we've been up to! #Ausbiotech2024 #Innovation #Biotech #Investment

PolyActiva is excited to announce that our CEO, Vanessa Waddell , will be presenting at #AusBioInvest24 on 29 October in the 4:00pm – 4:55pm session. Vanessa will be presenting our latest 48-week clinical data from our Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, which demonstrates both the safety of repeat-dosing with our PA5108 Ocular Implant, and sustained reduction in intraocular pressure in this repeat-dose cohort out to 48 weeks. This data backs our goal of providing patients suffering from glaucoma a long-term sustained-release alternative solution to drop therapy. Thank you AusBiotech for this opportunity, we can’t wait to share these results with you and what we have on the horizon. #AusBio #AusBioInv24 #Glaucoma #Innovation

We're incredibly proud of our CEO Vanessa Waddell 's recent presentation at Eyecelerator @ AAO2024 last week. Vanessa got the chance to present our new 48-week clinical data from our Phase 1b/2a clinical trial, which demonstrates both the safety of our PA5108 after repeat-dosing, as well as a sustained reduction in intraocular pressure out to 48 weeks. These results are the culmination of over a decade of research and work by our incredible team, with help from countless other consultants and clinicians along the way. It's exciting to be another step closer to providing patients suffering from glaucoma a safe and effective sustained-release implant as an alternative to drop therapy! #Glaucoma #Biotech #Innovation #AAO2024

PolyActiva 's Nonclinical & Formulation Leader Dr. Igor Chekhtman , and Commercial Operations & BD Associate Alexander Goulsbra attended the BioConnections 2024 Conference last week. Thank you to Informa Australia for putting together such an insightful conference with incredible keynote speakers and excellent panel discussions! It was also great to catch up with Camille Shanahan from Jumar Bioincubator , where PolyActiva is utilising their state-of-the-art laboratories to continue manufacturing our ocular implants locally, ready for our upcoming clinical trial program. #BioConnexAus #Glaucoma #Innovation #Incubator #Biotech

The PolyActiva Polymer Chemistry Team has had a busy week setting up the cleanrooms at Jumar in Melbourne so we can keep the manufacture of our phase 1 clinical trial material local. With limited options for manufacturing our ocular implants, access to Jumar’s state-of-the-art laboratories provides us with the opportunity to build our ocular implant manufacturing capabilities internally rather than having to go offshore. It’s an exciting time, and we’re also looking forward to joining a community fostering the next generation of Australian biotech

PolyActiva 's Head of Polymers & Medical Devices, Dr. David Valade will be presenting at PharmOut 's Pharma & Device Forum 2024 this Friday 24 May at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre in Melbourne, Australia. David will be discussing the hurdles PolyActiva has overcome to manufacture our unique sustained-release, biodegradable ocular implants for use in our clinical trial programs. If you're attending this event, you can catch David's presentation in Room 103 from 2:00pm - 2:30pm AEST. Come and say hi! #Glaucoma #Pharmaceutical #Manufacturing #Innovation
