June 2024 Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 4C
29 July 2024
LTR Pharma Limited (ASX:LTP) (“LTR Pharma”, “the Company”), a Company focused on improving men’s health
through clinical development and commercialisation of an innovative nasal spray treatment for Erectile
Dysfunction (“ED”), SPONTAN®, is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 30 June 2024.
Highlights:
•
•
•
SPONTAN® achieved positive interim primary and secondary clinical study results demonstrating:
o rapid absorption and faster onset of action compared to oral PDE5 inhibitors (vardenafil,
sildenafil, tadalafil);
o delivered a similar amount of peak drug (Cmax) at half the dose than the oral tablet
o The time to peak concentration (Tmax) for SPONTAN was in as little as 9 minutes compared
to the average time of 56 minutes with the oral tablets; and
o No serious adverse events were observed with SPONTAN.
As at 30 June 2024, the Company held a cash balance of $3.10 million.
Subsequent to the quarter end, LTR Pharma successfully raised $10.5 million (before costs) through
Share Placement to institutional, professional and high net worth investors.
Corporate Update
LTR Pharma has achieved significant milestones in its commercial operations during the second quarter of 2024.
The Company completed its pivotal pharmacokinetic clinical study for SPONTAN® (“the Study”), with final data
analysis underway and initial results released to the market on 7 June 2024.
In June, members of the Company’s management team met with executives of global pharma companies at the
BIO International Convention 2024 in San Diego. The team also travelled to New York to conduct a non-deal
roadshow with investors to introduce LTR Pharma and SPONTAN.
Pivotal pharmacokinetic clinical study
On 7 June 2024, the Company reported positive initial results from the pivotal pharmacokinetic clinical study of
SPONTAN nasal spray treatment for ED. The Study demonstrated that SPONTAN achieved rapid absorption and
a faster time to peak concentration in as little as 9 minutes with an average of 12 minutes compared to traditional
oral PDE5 inhibitors (e.g. Viagra) which averaged 56 minutes. Oral PDE5 tablets are considered the gold standard
ED treatment currently available. This reduction in onset time could potentially revolutionise the market for ED
treatments and is the reason that SPONTAN is being developed as a fast-acting, on-demand treatment for ED.
Currently there is a high discontinuation rate with oral PDE5 tablets due to their long onset of action and adverse
events needing to be delivered through the digestive system. SPONTAN bypasses the digestive system and is
delivered straight into the bloodstream via the nasal cavities and is designed to allow men and their partners to
live in the moment vs needing to plan ahead.

Financial Update
Net cash used for operations in the quarter was $2.18m, which included significant one-off payments of $0.9m
for costs related to the Study and $0.461m as an IP milestone payment. Excluding these one-off payments, the
underlying operational cash burn for the quarter was approximately $0.82m, which closely aligns to the
expenditure outlined in the prospectus.
As of 30 June 2024, the Company's cash balance was $3.10m. While the Appendix 4C indicates 1.42 quarters of
cash remaining, it is important to note that this calculation includes the previously mentioned one-off payments.
Adjusting for these one-off expenses, the Company's normalised cash runway extends beyond the reported
figure.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on 24 July 2024, LTR Pharma completed a Share Placement, resulting in the
inflows of $10.5m (before costs), strongly supported by institutional investors and high net worth investors.

8.6.3

objectives and, if so, on what basis?
