We have made progress in the drug development and generated new results that all point in the same direction: we’re onto something completely new. We have also advanced our positions in terms of IP and manufacturing, and we ended the year by initiating the rights issue in January which was oversubscribed to 110% and provided a substantial capital injection of approximately SEK 55 million before issue costs“, says Elin Trampe, CEO.
