ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
AstraZeneca Further Extends Clinical Trial Contract
Key Highlights
-
AstraZeneca extends its contract for a Phase IIb trial, which utilises 210 SOZO[®] devices to measure fluid volume in patients with chronic kidney disease, for an additional 8 months.
-
The extension of the trial will generate over $1.0 million of additional revenue, which will be recognised over the remainder of the 2023 financial year.
-
In total, over $6.7 million in contract value has been signed under the various AstraZeneca trial agreements.
ImpediMed Limited (ASX.IPD), today announced the details of the third contract extension related to the use of the SOZO Digital Health Platform in a clinical trial being conducted for AstraZeneca. The Phase IIb trial is using the SOZO to track patient fluid volume in a pharmaceutical study focused on chronic kidney disease. The trial has been extended from 21 months to 29 months, with 210 SOZO devices being utilised in the extension.
In total, the contracts will generate over $6.7 million in revenue across the trials. The Company recognised approximately $5.7 million in revenue to date (through 30 September 2022) under these contracts. The remaining $1.0 million of the revenue will be recognised throughout the remainder of the 2023 financial year.
The Company previously announced AstraZeneca is using SOZO to track patient fluid volume in two separate clinical trials. A combined 434 SOZO devices have been leased across over 28 countries over the course of both trials. The first trial was focused on heart failure and chronic kidney disease and the second only on chronic kidney disease. The use of SOZO in that trial is now complete.
The current AstraZeneca trial that has been extended is using SOZO to monitor body fluid volumes as they evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a combination of two AstraZeneca drugs in heart failure patients with chronic kidney disease. This Phase IIb trial began in November 2020 and the use of SOZO within the trial is now scheduled to be completed in April 2023. The trial is being run by a contract research organisation on behalf of AstraZeneca.
Under the terms of the agreement, and in alignment with the Company’s SaaS business model, each device will have a monthly license fee for the duration of the trial. ImpediMed will retain ownership of the devices at the conclusion of the trials.
Approved for release by the Interim CEO and Director, Mr David Anderson.

About SOZO Digital Health Platform
SOZO, the world’s most advanced, non-invasive bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) device, delivers a precise snapshot of fluid status and tissue composition in less than 30 seconds. Using ImpediMed’s BIS technology, SOZO measures 256 unique data points over a wide spectrum of frequencies from 3 kHz to 1000 kHz. Results are available immediately online for easy data access and sharing across an entire healthcare system. The FDA-cleared, CE-marked and ARTG-listed digital health platform aids in the early detection of secondary lymphoedema, provides fluid status for patients living with heart or renal failure, and can be used to monitor and maintain overall health – all on a single device.

About SOZO Fluid Analysis for Heart Failure
The SOZO fluid analysis for heart failure provides an objective measure of fluid overload in heart failure patients. It utilises ImpediMed’s HF-Dex™ heart failure index which is a measure of extracellular fluid as a percent of total body water. HF-Dex is presented on BIS-derived reference ranges which indicate normal fluid volumes, elevated fluid volumes, and fluid overload, which is defined as HF-Dex greater than 51%. When used as part of a clinical assessment of heart failure, SOZO helps differentiate between fluid and tissue-related weight changes to track response to medication changes and to provide a marker for readmission when HF-Dex is higher than 51%.
