• In Nuevolution’s internal RORγt inhibitor program (inflammation) and provided the outcome from an on-going in vivo IBD study is positive, we expect that only few additional data will be required for selecting a clinical strategy, where also Ankylosing Spondylitis has emerged as a potential further indication.

The program continues to progress according to plan.
• In the Almirall partnership on RORγt inhibitors (dermatology and psoriatic arthritis), a substantial collaborative effort in the three-month period ended 30 September 2017 provided good progress.
• In the Amgen collaboration, we expect to conduct in vivo proof of concept testing in two cancer programs within three to six months.
