CEO Kjell G. Stenberg comments
During the third quarter Cyxone has focused on the activities required to initiate clinical studies with T20K (phase 1).

In addition, the company has made a concerted effort to raise capital for the clinical phase 2b program that Cyxone planes to initiate in 2019.

Cyxone has also increased its activities to introduce its drug candidates, T20K for multiple sclerosis (MS) and Rabeximod for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to pharma companies in Europe, USA and Asia.

T20K and MS
From the company’s studies in the final parts of the required preclinical program with T20K Cyxone has gained much new, valuable insights on how T20K works, how it is taken up and distributed within the body[1]. These new insights are key for further clinical development of the drug into a new MS product with a potential to prevent disease progression and with few side effects.

In order to expedite the process to first-in man studies Cyxone has engaged several specialized companies that work in concert to deliver the tools and data that are needed to enter phase 1 studies.

The results obtained are in line with what was expected and supports Cyxone’s plans for phase 1 studies with T20K.

Rabeximod and RA
Cyxone has initiated planning of its phase 2b clinical development program including 24 weeks studies with Rabeximod in animals, and in patients with moderate to severe RA.

Exploring opportunities for new drugs for autoimmune diseases
After studies with a cyclotide in animal model for inflammatory bowel disease the company continues to explore opportunities to identify new, unique chemical entities with favorable effects on autoimmune diseases within its two patent portfolios.

Partnering opportunities
With two candidate drugs in clinical phase Cyxone has increased its possibilities to find good strategic partners to accelerate its development process. First set of meetings took place at the Nordic Life Science Days in Stockholm in September where the company had several positive discussions with different pharmaceutical companies.

We greatly appreciate the support and confidence from our shareholders and look forward to a continued strong progress for Cyxone.
