CEO Carl-Magnus Högerkorp comments
A new very industrially experienced board of directors took office in Cyxone in May and during the summer started to work together with advisors in drug development to best take advantage of the opportunity going forward with the drug candidates available in the company.
A changing market provides positive prospects for rabeximod
The priority has initially been rabeximod, as the market is currently undergoing major changes due to patent losses that significantly affect the sales of the world's largest drug, Humira. A unique situation exists with the available phase II data on rabeximod, which has so far been evaluated in studies with 300 patients with good signs of efficacy and, not least, no signals of side effects that affect the possibilities of further development to treat patients. Cyxone can, therefore, together with good knowledge of essential aspects of rabeximod's mechanism of action, use existing substance to evaluate the product in, according to the board and its advisers, relevant populations of patients where there are very good commercial conditions as well as medical needs. A further developed formulation of rabeximod has received a patent for 20 years from May 2023. This further contributes to opportunities for significant value creation which we are convinced benefits our shareholders.
During quarter four, Cyxone's project within MS, T20K, will also be evaluated in order to best optimize opportunities for value creation.
Cost-effective development process
I have been given a clear mission by the board to find ways to create value for both of these projects, while at the same time, at the board's request have started work on creating a more cost-effective operation with significantly lower costs. This is possible as, on the basis of the positive response we have received thus far, we conclude that key opinion-leading doctors in the US and Europe will be keen to evaluate rabeximod via so-called "investigator-sponsored trials" (IST) because the clinics have a great interest in finding better treatment alternatives for patients who do not respond well to existing treatments.
