    KAZIA THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES PHASE II CLINICAL STUDY TO
    INVESTIGATE PAXALISIB IN RECURRENT/PROGRESSIVE IDH-MUTANT GRADE
    2 & 3 GLIOMA
    Sydney, 08 JUN 2023 – Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA), an oncology-
    focused drug development company, is pleased to announce that it is supporting the
    University of Sydney on a molecularly-guided phase II clinical study to examine paxalisib in
    adult patients with recurrent/progressive isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutant grade 2
    and 3 glioma (G2/3 gliomas).
    The study, named LUMOS2, will be sponsored by the University of Sydney, and coordinated
    by NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, University of Sydney, in collaboration with COGNO (Co-
    Operative Trials Group for Neuro-Oncology).
    The study team will be led by Professor Hui Gan, Co-Director, Centre for Research Excellence
    in Brain Cancer and research clinician at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute in
    Melbourne, VIC, who specializes in the investigation of novel therapies for brain cancer.
    Key Points
    • The LUMOS2 study aims to investigate paxalisib and other targeted therapies in
    adult patients with grade 2 or 3 IDH-mutant gliomas. Paxalisib is already the subject
    of several studies in high-grade glioma, a category which includes diseases such as
    glioblastoma and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
    • Grade 2 and 3 gliomas represent a substantial unmet clinical need, with recurrent
    patients having a poor prognosis that is comparable to glioblastoma. The glioma
    patient population has been the subject of increasing focus for drug development
    companies, including Day One Biopharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: DAWN), Servier and
    Novartis (NYSE: NVS).
    • LUMOS2, an umbrella study with multiple arms, is expected to enroll up to 76
    patients and will be a multi-centre study at several Australian sites, with the
    potential to expand internationally
