With key hires in R&D, advisory roles, and business development we are building the organization with the competences needed to be ready for the upcoming milestones - the part 1 of the phase II CORIST study in Q2 2021, followed by a planned readout from the PANTAX Ib study in Q3-Q4 2021. 2021 is certainly an exciting year.”
