Cessatech’s first product and lead asset, CT001, is an analgesic non-invasive nasal spray for children aged 1-17 years that experience acute pain or pain related to medical procedures. Today’s analgesic solutions often require an intravenous access which is not always feasible or easy and can be painful. In contrast, CT001 has a fast onset and is easy to use. Its composition includes a fixed combination of the two well-known analgesics, which are already approved treatments for injection in adults. The two compounds are also used separately for analgesia but only intravenously in children. The potential advantages of the fixed combination is a faster onset of action and the avoidance of undesirable side effects such as prolonged sedation and risk of respiratory depression. CT001 will enter late stage clinical development in 2021.
Cessatech is traded under the ticker ‘CESSA’ on the Danish branch of the Swedish-based stock exchange (Spotlight Stock Market). Its shareholders are primarily from Denmark and Sweden; the number of shareholders has grown steadily since the Company’s Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’). Cessatech was introduced on the Spotlight Stock Market in December 2020, after a significantly oversubscribed IPO.
