Acting CEO Christina Herder comments:

"Idogen thanks the shareholders who have shown their support to the Company by subscribing for new shares despite the current market climate. Idogen has an increased focus and are now running its first cell therapy program in hemophilia with the aim of both developing a treatment where there is a large unmet medical need but also to validate our entire technology platform. This capital increase takes us a step closer to a read-out in the ongoing phase I/IIa study, where we welcome new and existing shareholders on our continued interesting journey ahead.” Comments Christina Herder acting CEO.

Idogen (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: IDOGEN) develops tolerogenic cell therapies to prevent the patient’s immune system from attacking biological agents, transplanted organs or the body's own cells or tissue. The company’s most advanced program, IDO 8 – now in clinical phase – is designed to restore the efficacy of hemophilia drugs in patients who have developed neutralizing antibodies. For these hemophiliac patients, there is significant medical need for restoring the clinical effects of their treatment with factor VIII. This is a unique market positioning that over the long term could replace immune tolerance induction (ITI) treatments, with significant market potential. The planned IDO 8 clinical trial will validate the company’s technology platform and facilitate a range of other applications in fields such as organ transplants (IDO T) and autoimmune diseases (IDO AID). More information about Idogen is available via www.idogen.com.
