Report this content

2cureX AB (“2cureX”) hereby publishes the half-year report for the first half of 2019. The half-year report is available as an attached document as well as on the company’s website (www.2curex.com). Below follows a short summary of the report. 

CEO Ole Thastrup comments
The second financial quarter of 2019 has as usual meant a high level of activity at 2cureX. We have focused specifically on the commercial aspect of our business by introducing pre-launch activities, as we get closer to the launch of IndiTreat® as a commercial product. Initial talks with oncologists in Germany and the Nordics have been very positive and given us a good basis for our pre-launch activities. The pre-launch has two main objectives a) Ensure that all IndiTreat® processes work and b) engage in a commercial dialogue with customers in order to build the pipeline for 2020 launch. 2cureX has a strong message to the market: The IndiTreat® test can both deliver a more effective treatment for the individual cancer patient and help in keeping the escalating costs for cancer treatment under control.

It is with excitement that I see that our clinical trials in the three major cancers: colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancer are progressing well. It was thus a pleasure to see that our latest clinical trial (pancreatic cancer) has come off to a good start with enrolment of patients on par with our previously published ambitious plan. It is a major undertaking for a company of 2cureX’s size to run multinational trials in such important cancers and in major European markets.

About 2cureX
