Preface At the EGM we are asking our shareholders for the following decisions:
Based on the challenging funding situation in the overall market, and specifically in biotech, we are actively looking at all possibilities to extend our current cash runway even further into 2024. This means looking for opportunities to rationalize our operations and reduce costs. Our main focus remains on CORIST, where we have just enrolled the first patient in part 3 of the study. In part 3, we aim to increase the doses of both SCO-101 and FOLFIRI chemotherapy using a modified dosing schedule, and thereby boost the activity of the combination in advanced cancer patients. In addition to this we will accelerate our work to determine the potential of SCO-101 in combination with Immuno-oncology. Finally, we have – based on feedback from shareholders – decided to take steps to ensure more open and responsive communication with our shareholders. |
