About Starpharma
Starpharma Holdings Limited (ASX: SPL, OTCQX: SPHRY) is a world leader in dendrimer technology for medical applications. As an
innovative Australian biopharmaceutical company, Starpharma is focused on developing and commercialising novel therapeutic
products that address significant global healthcare needs. Starpharma boasts a strong portfolio of products, partnerships, and
intellectual property.
Starpharma’s innovative technology is based on proprietary polymers called dendrimers, which are precise, synthetically manufactured,
nanoscale molecules. The unique properties of dendrimers – including their size, structure, high degree of branching, polyvalency, and
water solubility – are advantageous in medical and pharmaceutical applications.
Starpharma uses its dendrimer technology to develop novel therapeutics and to improve the performance of existing pharmaceuticals.
Starpharma’s portfolio includes multiple clinical-stage oncology products, which utilise its Dendrimer Enhanced Product (‘DEP ®’) drug
delivery technology, and marketed products, including VIRALEZE™ and VivaGel® BV, which utilise SPL7013, a proprietary dendrimer
with antimicrobial properties.
Starpharma’s DEP® drug delivery platform is being used to enhance the effectiveness of existing and novel therapies and to reduce
drug-related toxicities through controlled and specified drug delivery. In addition to Starpharma’s internal DEP® programs, Starpharma
has multiple DEP® partnerships with international biopharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca (oncology), MSD (AntibodyDrug Conjugates), Chase Sun (anti-infectives), and other world-leading pharmaceutical companies. Due to the broad applicability and
optionality of Starpharma’s DEP® platform, partnered DEP® programs have the potential to generate significant future milestones and
royalties.
Starpharma’s topical antiviral nasal spray, VIRALEZE™, is now registered in more than 35 countries*, including Europe, the UK, and
Asia. Starpharma’s novel non-antibiotic vaginal gel, VivaGel® BV, for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and prevention of
recurrent BV, is registered in more than 50 countries, including in the UK, Europe, Southeast Asia, South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand.
