Modus Therapeutics publishes interim report for the third quarter 2023
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - 8 November 2023: Modus Therapeutics Holding AB (”Modus Therapeutics”) hereby publishes an interim report for the third quarter 2023. The report is available as an attached document and on the company's website (www.modustx.com). Below is a summary of the interim report.
John Öhd, Modus Therapeutics' CEO, commented:” The exciting new data to be presented at ASH 2023 continues the work we announced earlier this year in which the profound hepcidin inhibiting capacity of sevuparin was shown to translate across preclinical cell cultures, in vivo experiments in mice and clinical studies in healthy volunteers. Together with Professor Poli and co-workers, we can now build further by showing the effects not only on hepcidin but also on the anemia in a chronic kidney disease model in mice, which reinforces the relevance of sevuparin as a potential treatment in kidney disease with anemia. Modus Therapeutics' process of maturing towards an expanded clinical pipeline means that sevuparin's mode of action is now being evaluated for sepsis, severe malaria and anemia in chronic inflammation and kidney disease – three serious conditions that correspond to major medical needs in both acute and chronic care”
