CEO´s comment:
” We have taken the first steps in our communicated strategy to continue evaluating the drug candidate arfolitixorin in a cost-effective and risk-minimizing manner. The lab test we have initiated in collaboration with Oncosyne is expected to provide more information after the summer. Our assessment is that the planned activities can be financed with existing funds and have the potential to bring arfolitixorin significantly closer to a market”, says CEO Thomas Andersson.
