Melbourne, Australia, July 25, 2023: Immuron
Limited (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN), an Australian based and globally integrated biopharmaceutical company is pleased to announce the
first cohort of 30 participants have been enrolled into the clinical trial to evaluate
the efficacy of Travelan® to prevent infectious diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).
The clinical study is being led by Principal
Investigator Dr Mohamed Al-Ibrahim at the Pharmaron CPC FDA inspected Clinical Research Facility Inpatient Unit located in Baltimore,
Maryland US. The Phase 2 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and protective efficacy of Travelan® compared
to a placebo in a controlled human infection model (CHIM). The primary efficacy outcome is prevention and/or reduction of moderate to
severe diarrhea. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05933525.
The first cohort of 30 participants is anticipated
to complete dosing and the in-patient stage of the study by the first week of August 2023. The final 30 participants are anticipated to
be enrolled into the study and complete the in-patient stage of the study by the end of October 2023. Headline results from the clinical
trial expected to be reported in 1H 2024.
The U.S. Department of Defense Uniformed Services
University is also running a randomized clinical trial with Travelan® in up to 868 participants (ASX announcement January
18, 2023). ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04605783. The USU has reported that to date it has successfully enrolled 347 participants
into the clinical study following the initiation of enrolment and approximately 260 have completed the study. USU has extended the enrolment
period and now expects to complete clinical trial enrolment in Q2 2024.
Infectious diarrhea is the most common illness
reported by travelers visiting developing countries and among US troops deployed overseas. The morbidity and associated discomfort stemming
from diarrhea decreases daily performance, affects judgment, decreases morale and declines operational readiness. The first line of treatment
for infectious diarrhea is the prescription of antibiotics. Unfortunately, in the last decade, several enteric pathogens have demonstrated
increasing resistance to commonly prescribed antibiotics. In addition, travelers’ diarrhea is now recognized by the medical community
to result in post-infectious sequelae, including post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and several post-infectious autoimmune
diseases. A preventative treatment that defends against infectious enteric diseases is a high priority objective for the US Military.
This release has been authorised by the directors
of Immuron Limited.

About Travelers’ diarrhea
Travelers’ diarrhea
is a gastrointestinal infection with symptoms that include loose, watery (and occasionally bloody) stools, abdominal cramping, bloating,
and fever, Enteropathogenic bacteria are responsible for most cases, with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) playing a dominant
causative role. Campylobacter spp. are also responsible for a significant proportion of cases. The more serious infections with Salmonella
spp. the bacillary dysentery organisms belonging to Shigella spp. and Vibrio spp. (the causative agent of cholera) are often confused
with travelers’ diarrhea as they may be contracted while travelling and initial symptoms are often indistinguishable.
About Immuron

IMC, NASDAQ: IMRN), is an Australian biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing orally delivered targeted polyclonal
antibodies for the treatment of inflammatory mediated and infectious diseases.
