INVO Fertility (Nasdaq: NAYA) announced it will begin trading under the new symbol 'IVF' on April 28, 2025, following its strategic decision to separate its fertility and oncology businesses. The company, formerly known as NAYA Biosciences, will maintain its current CUSIP number.
CEO Steve Shum stated that the new ticker symbol reflects their focus on the fertility care market, particularly their strategy of building, acquiring, and operating fertility clinics in the United States. The company aims to expand access to innovative reproductive services and technologies, aligning with the recent U.S. Presidential executive order to reduce IVF costs and increase accessibility to fertility services.
NAYA Biosciences has announced a strategic separation of its fertility and oncology businesses, with the public company being renamed to INVO Fertility, Inc. The company's Nasdaq ticker will change from NAYA to IVF. The restructuring involves:
1. The public company (INVO Fertility) will focus on:
- Operating and expanding fertility clinics
- Distributing FDA-cleared INVOcell device
- Managing existing revenue-generating centers in Wisconsin, Alabama, and Georgia
2. The oncology division will become a private entity named NAYA Therapeutics, focusing on bifunctional antibodies development. INVO Fertility will retain a minority stake in NAYA Therapeutics to benefit from potential value appreciation.
The separation, effective April 14, 2025, aims to maximize shareholder value and enable focused operations for both entities. The transaction remains subject to definitive documents and necessary approvals. The company has filed an extension for its 2024 Annual Report.

The company highlighted that its FDA-cleared INVOcell device and IVC treatment process are "uniquely positioned to offer an efficient, effective, and more affordable treatment solution" aligned with the administration's cost-reduction goals.

The company is developing NY-500 using its proprietary FLEX antibody platform and optimizing it through an AI partnership with MabSilico.

The second presentation showcases a Graph AI model analyzing GPC3 gene expression and NK cell tumor infiltration's influence on hepatocellular carcinoma survival rates. These insights support the planned Phase I/IIa clinical trials in H1 2025.
