CEO statement

Many pharmaceuticals cannot be formulated as dry powders. It entails complicated and expensive handling, leading to many patients not getting treatments and vaccinations. This is where Ziccum can make a difference. And I’m delighted to welcome so many new shareholders on board helping us as we continue on that journey.

We have a unique, patented technology in LaminarPace. It makes it possible to manufacture biological pharmaceutical as stable dry powders. There are many advantages with dry powder; transportation, handling and storage are all simpler. Stable dry powders make it possible to reach patients all over the world even where access to the cold temperature chain is limited, and to enable patients with chronic diseases to take their therapies with them wherever they go.

Our evaluation and development of new formulations continues with very good results. Results we intend to apply patents for, so broadening our Intellectual Property portfolio, and adding to our already existing patent on LaminarPace’s methodology and system. We have already started with a new patent application based on these encouraging results, and these results strengthen our position on the international market. We solve problems no one has been able to solve previously – giving Ziccum strong opportunities in a global and growing market.

The European Commission granted our application for phase 1 Horizon H2020 funding– the most ambitious program for innovation and development in the history of EU. This further strengthens our belief that we have a very strong and competitive offering, which has the potential to make a significant impact on large patient populations. We will shortly commence our report for Phase 1, and start the Phase 2 application to be submitted in the beginning of Q2 2019.

In conclusion – we have a strong and competitive offering in a very interesting and large market. A market where we can make a significant difference for patients, and create value for our shareholders. I wish all new shareholders a warm welcome, and I am look forward to reporting to them on our continued journey.

About Ziccum

Ziccum AB (publ) develops new patented formulations of biological drugs where sensitivity to temperature differences, especially during transportation, currently limits medical and so commercial potential. The company’s patented technology, LaminarPace, develops dry powder formulations of drugs and vaccines that currently only exist in liquid form. By doing so Ziccum can increase the availability of drugs and vaccines in existing markets—and open up new ones.
