15 October 2025 IXICO plc (AIM: IXI) – London, UK. IXICO, a global leader in neuroscience imaging and biomarker analytics, using its AI-driven platform to help advance drug development in neurological disorders, today announced that it has signed a new commercial contract to assist in the validation of a diagnostic blood test, reaffirming the Company’s expertise in this area.  IXICO has also entered into a contract extension on an existing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) clinical trial.  The combined value of the new contract and contract extension is c. £1.2 million.

The new contract, with a leading global biopharma company, will run over a contract period of under three years and will use IXICO’s platform to facilitate the analysis of a prospective blood-based biomarker test to aid the diagnosis of a non-disclosed neurodegenerative disease.  The contract extension adds a range of activities to an existing AD clinical trial being supported by IXICO over the next few years.  This significant extension reflects a series of smaller scope additions with existing biopharma clients over the last couple of months and provides additional strength to IXICO’s long term order book.

The positive commercial momentum continues IXICO's successful execution of its 'Innovate, Lead, Scale' strategy to drive global expansion and growth.

Bram Goorden, CEO of IXICO, commented: "The new contract win marks our continued expansion and expertise in the blood-based biomarker field. The sustained period of contract extensions culminating in this important AD clinical trial, demonstrates the demand for IXICO’s services and expertise, the consistent quality of our work, and the value we provide to major biopharma clients.”
