MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA AND SAN FRANCISCO, USA – 30 July 2026: Alterity Therapeutics (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) (“Alterity” or “the Company”), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing disease modifying treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, today released its Appendix 4C Quarterly Cash Flow Report and update on company activities for the quarter ending 30 June 2026 (Q4 FY26).
“This was a defining quarter for Alterity, highlighted by our positive End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA that established a clear, efficient registrational pathway for ATH434,” said David Stamler, M.D., Chief Executive Officer. “With the Phase 3 design elements agreed upon, we are executing on our plans to initiate Phase 3 trial activities by year-end 2026.”
Dr. Stamler continued, “The regulatory clarity we have now achieved, together with the growing body of clinical evidence supporting ATH434, puts us in a strong position as we prepare to initiate Phase 3 and continue strategic and other funding discussions aimed at maximising the long-term value of the program.”
ATH434 Clinical and Regulatory Update
Alterity achieved several key regulatory milestones during the quarter. The Company reached alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at its End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting on the registrational pathway for a potential New Drug Application (NDA) for ATH434 in MSA. At the meeting, the FDA indicated that a single pivotal trial plus confirmatory evidence could provide the data necessary to support approval, with the Company anticipating that the data from its ATH434-201 Phase 2 clinical trial will provide the required confirmatory evidence. This outcome represents one of the most significant regulatory milestones achieved by the Company to date and de-risks the regulatory pathway toward potential approval of ATH434 in MSA. Successful completion of the planned Phase 3 program has the potential to support the first disease-modifying treatment approved for Multiple System Atrophy, a rare and rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease with no approved therapy.
Alignment was reached with the agency on several key elements of the proposed Phase 3 trial design, including the study population, treatment regimen and the use of the 11-item UMSARS Part I rating scale^1^ as the primary endpoint. Key secondary endpoints that assess key areas of impairment in MSA were agreed upon and the FDA also indicated that the anticipated size of the safety database at the conclusion of the Phase 3 trial was reasonable. The study is expected to enroll approximately 200 patients who will be randomized 1:1 to ATH434 50 mg or matching placebo treatment twice daily for 12 months. Alterity plans to offer an open-label extension to participants who complete the Phase 3 trial, both to continue their treatment and to enhance the safety database for ATH434.
In April 2026, Alterity announced positive FDA feedback following a Type C meeting related to the chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) elements of the Phase 3 program. In preparation for Phase 3, Alterity has successfully manufactured the first registration batch of ATH434 for use in the pivotal trial.
Scientific Engagement
Alterity continues to actively engage with the global neurology community through multiple scientific presentations at leading international congresses. These presentations formed an important component of the Company’s strategy to disseminate clinical data, engage with key opinion leaders and specialists, and further interpret Phase 2 results for ATH434 in MSA.
During the quarter, Alterity delivered the following presentations, which are available on the Publications and Presentations page of the Company’s website:
| ● | April 2026 – American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, Late-Breaking Science: An analysis using the newly described MSA Combined Outcome Assessment (MuSyCA)^2^ composite scale, which integrates items from UMSARS Parts I and II, showed ATH434 slowed functional decline versus placebo at Week 52, consistent with previously reported activity on the 11-item UMSARS Part I. |
|---|---|
| ● | May 2026 – Peer-reviewed publication in NeuroImage: A study drawing on the Company’s bioMUSE Natural History Study demonstrated that quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) of brain iron detects disease-specific accumulation in MSA, distinguishes MSA from Parkinson’s disease, and correlates with clinical severity in MSA. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | May 2026 – Three international scientific presentations at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the Movement Disorder Society of Australia and New Zealand (MDSANZ) Scientific Meeting, and the MSA Symposium (University College London), presenting QSM imaging, CSF NfL^3^ covariate analyses and swallowing outcome data supporting ATH434’s mechanism as an iron chaperone. |
|---|
Also during the period, the Company hosted a virtual key opinion leader (KOL) event featuring Roy Freeman, M.D. (Harvard Medical School) and Daniel Claassen, M.D., M.S. (Vanderbilt University Medical Center), alongside CEO David Stamler, M.D., to discuss the unmet need and treatment landscape in MSA and the ATH434 development program.
Strategic Partnering and Funding Alternatives
Alterity continues to evaluate a range of strategic and funding alternatives to support the advancement of ATH434, including ongoing discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies. The Company is progressing a structured evaluation process, with the assistance of external advisers, to assess these opportunities alongside other potential funding and development pathways.
The Company remains focused on maintaining strategic flexibility while pursuing the pathway that best supports the advancement of ATH434 and maximises long-term shareholder value.
Corporate and Financial Update
Governance and Leadership
In April 2026, the company announced the appointment of Ms Ann Cunningham to the Board of Directors as an independent Non-Executive Director. Ms Cunningham’s appointment adds global commercial and strategic expertise as the company transitions toward late-stage development in MSA.
Share Consolidation
Following shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 29 May 2026, the Company completed a consolidation of its share capital on a 1-for-50 basis.
Cash Position
As of 30 June 2026, Alterity held cash and cash equivalents of A$37.3 million. Operating cash outflows for the quarter were A$7.72 million.
Subsequent to quarter-end, on 9 July 2026, the Company received its research and development (R&D) tax refund for the 2025 financial year totaling A$3,982,992 (including A$43,117 of interest), under the Australian Government’s R&D Tax Incentive.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.7C, payments of A$309k made to related parties and their associates during the quarter included non-executive directors’ fees, managing director salary, consulting fees, remuneration and superannuation at commercial rates.
