AUSTRALIA AND SAN FRANCISCO, USA - Wednesday 31 July 2019. Alterity Therapeutics Limited (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) ("Alterity"
or "the Company"), releases its Appendix 4C Quarterly Cash Flow report and update on company activities for the quarter
ending 30 June 2019 (Q4 FY19).
past quarter saw important milestones achieved as the Company enters into its next phase of development, the most significant
being finalization and reporting of its Phase 1 Clinical Trial for its lead compound PBT434.
completed trial includes data from elderly and healthy volunteers who received repeated doses, and demonstrated that the drug
was safe and well-tolerated, with adverse event rates comparable to placebo. It builds on the data presented in May 2019 at the
American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in the US.
exposure to the drug was comparable between elderly and healthy volunteers. This information, along with previous results in the
Phase 1 study, indicate that clinically-tested doses achieve concentrations in the brain that are comparable with other test results.
No serious adverse event or an adverse event that led to discontinuation of the study drug was reported.
findings showed that PBT434 passed the blood-brain barrier and inhibited the alpha-synuclein protein which when aggregated in
the brain is a pathological hallmark of Parkinsonian conditions and is considered an important biologic target for treating these
neurodegenerative diseases.
Company launched a new name moving from Prana Biotechnology to Alterity Therapeutics. The name change aligns with the new direction
for the Company and followed a major strategic investment by Life Biosciences. A$11.44M has so far been received as part of this
investment. Shareholders approved a resolution to allow the investment by Life Biosciences and the name change at an Extraordinary
General Meeting on 5th April.
reported a strong cash balance of A$14.4M, up from A$8.9M in Q3 FY19 with the contribution of investment funds.
Geoffrey Kempler, CEO of Alterity, said: "The final quarter of Alterity's financial year has ended on a high note
with the recent completion of the Phase 1 trial for PBT434. The clinical data for the Phase 1 trial was well-received at the American
Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, a key audience for Alterity. We thank Life Biosciences for its investment."

lead candidate, PBT434, is the first of a new generation of small molecules designed to inhibit the aggregation of pathological
proteins implicated in neurodegeneration. PBT434 has been shown to reduce abnormal accumulation of -synuclein and tau proteins
in animal models of disease by restoring normal iron balance in the brain. In this way, it has excellent potential to treat various
forms of atypical Parkinsonism such as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).
