Update re. US FDA ODD Application

Nuformix plc (LSE:NFX), a pharmaceutical development company targeting unmet medical needs in fibrosis and oncology via drug repurposing, announces, further to the Company's announcement on 11 August 2025 regarding the Company's application to the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for Orphan Drug Designation ("ODD") in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis ("IPF") for tranilast, the active drug substance enabled for inhaled delivery in Nuformix's NXP002 lead programme, that the Company has received a response from the FDA requesting further clarification for one specific element of the application.

As previously announced, as part of the ODD application process the FDA can request further information. The Company will submit a response to the FDA as soon as possible using existing data and information in the Company's possession. Upon further review the FDA will issue a designation confirmation letter, a request for more information or a denial. Further announcements will be made in due course, as appropriate.

Dr Dan Gooding, Executive Director, Nuformix, said: "We will respond to FDA using the data we already have on file, having previously had a similar query from the EMA. I remain confident the process will reach a successful conclusion and whilst we await the FDA's further response we continue to progress discussions with potential future licensing partners and will provide further updates in due course as appropriate."
