-- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- American BriVision (Holding) Corporation (ABVC) (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical
company developing therapeutic solutions in oncology/hematology, CNS, and ophthalmology, today announced the initiation of a new
ABV-1505 Phase II Part I clinical trial, under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical protocol code BLI-1008-001,
for adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The new study will be conducted at the University of California San
Francisco (UCSF) Medical Center.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white; text-align: justify">This trial is an open label, single-center,
dose escalation study to be conducted in six adult ADHD patients. Each patient will receive a low-dose treatment (380 mg) of ABV-1505
thrice daily for 28 days followed by a high-dose treatment (760 mg) thrice daily for another 28 days. PDC-1421, the active pharmaceutical
ingredient of ABV-1505 and ABV-1504, has been successfully evaluated in a recently completed Phase II study for major depressive
disorder (MDD) conducted at Stanford University and five major medical centers in Taiwan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white; text-align: justify">The primary objective of this study
is to determine the effective doses and treatment period of PDC-1421 in adult patients with ADHD. The secondary objective is to
evaluate the safety of PDC-1421 in patents receiving the drug at various dose levels. A Phase II Part II study is expected to follow
at the UCSF Medical Center, along with major medical centers in Taiwan, after and assuming successful completion of this Phase
II Part I study.</P>

study of ABV-1504 for the treatment of MDD patients taken from trials completed at Stanford University and five major medical centers

in order to expand PDC-1421&rsquo;s therapeutic indication,&rdquo; said Dr. Howard Doong, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
&ldquo;We are excited to see if the same mechanism of action that has benefited MDD patients in our trials thus far has therapeutic
benefits in adult ADHD patients as well.&rdquo;</P>
