Contract awarded for Phase 1b/2 Huntington's disease trial worth circa £800k

Reflection on IXICO's ability and expertise within the Huntington's disease trials space

IXICO plc (AIM: IXI), the medical imaging advanced analytics company delivering intelligent insights in neuroscience announces that it has been selected by an existing US biotech client to provide PET and MRI neuroimaging services for an open-label Phase I/II dose finding study. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the client's gene-therapy drug candidate in adult subjects with early manifest Huntington's disease (HD). The trial is due to run for just over five years and is worth circa £800k.

This is IXICO's second study for this client, having previously won a contract in 2021 to support a Multiple System Atrophy study.

Having provided centralised neuroimaging CRO services, including advanced imaging biomarker analysis, across many Huntington's disease trials, IXICO has developed and validated disease-optimised advanced analytics technology for this indication. This, together with the ability to deliver these services through the Company's proprietary TrialTracker data management platform, combined with the Company's extensive experience in supporting Huntington's disease trials, make IXICO the leading choice as the partner for this study.

Chris Hamilton, SVP Commercial at IXICO, commented: "We are delighted to play an important role in the development of this exciting gene therapy in a disease area we know extremely well and where we will deploy both our MRI and PET expertise. This new contract with an existing client reflects the confidence of our clients in the use of our services across different CNS development programmes within their portfolio. Our purpose is to support our clients in their tireless efforts to bring potential treatments to patients suffering from neurological disorders."
