CEO Ole Thastrup comments

“2cureX pushes forward on its clinical trials within colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancer. Despite delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2cureX still plans to launch IndiTreat® in 2020. To support our market strategy, we have established our first clinical partnership with a major Swedish hospital (Skåne University Hospital) besides entering into a distributor agreement for Portugal and Spain. The Early Access Program has confirmed the strong need and desire among clinicians to include a Functional Precision Medicine test like IndiTreat® in daily practice. 2cureX will exploit this momentum during the coming market launch. The competitive strength of 2cureX is underlined by the fact that we have received three major international grants in the present quarter.

2cureX continues to present a strong financial position with a cash position of SEK 30 million at the end of Q2. In the first week of July 2020 2cureX closed a Directed Issue transaction adding SEK 40 million to the cash balance.”

About 2cureX

2cureX has developed the IndiTreat® (Individual Treatment) test. IndiTreat® establishes thousands of 3D micro-tumors that are similar to the patient’s tumor and identifies the treatment that most effectively kills the patient’s tumor. Immediately after the test, the patient can be offered the selected treatment.

IndiTreat® is being clinically validated in clinical studies in colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and preventive cancer medicine. The clinical programs are conducted at major cancer hospitals in Denmark, Germany, Sweden and United Kingdom.

IndiTreat® is presently being introduced into the European market.

The aspiration is that IndiTreat® becomes a standard tool in Precision Medicine for cancer patients.

The company is listed at the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Stockholm (symbol: “2CUREX”).
