Interim CEO Ola Skanung comments

The first quarter of 2020 has been significantly influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic that sweeps across the world. As a result, we at Cyxone work even more virtually than usual, but otherwise our activities are not significantly affected. We use this time to develop a long-term strategic plan to advance our development work. This applies to both the design of the development programs and how we best package our projects to optimize the value for future licensing and partnering discussions. We will be well prepared for all the milestones ahead to ensure the best possible outcome of our studies.

The recruitment of a new CEO is still ongoing, and we will notify the market as soon as we have everything in place.

T20K

The development work of an oral formulation for T20K is ongoing. We are discussing with leading contract research organizations to obtain a stable and patient-friendly formulation and we have made some progress. In addition to developing an oral formulation, we need to perform preclinical studies to ensure required quality. The studies needed are toxicological tests, but studies are also needed to show how the oral formulation of T20K is taken up in the body, how long it remains in circulation and whether the substance accumulates in any specific organ. When these studies are completed and the results analyzed, we will initiate the planning of a phase I study.

Rabeximod

The production of Rabeximod substance is proceeding according to plan and when completed, Aptuit will proceed with the capsulation. Our applications to the ethical committees in the countries of the investigation sites are somewhat affected by the current Corona pandemic, but during the period we received approval from one more country's ethical committee to carry out the phase IIb study. When the capsulation is complete, we will apply for permissions from the regulatory authorities and the plan is still to enrol the first patient in the phase IIb study during the first quarter of 2021.

In summary, our activities are ongoing at the same high speed as usual and we look forward to an exciting and productive continuation of 2020. Several important milestones for our projects are scheduled to be achieved and we remain committed to developing T20K and Rabeximod as treatments that will improve the quality of life for many patients suffering from autoimmune diseases.
