STOCKHOLM, SE / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2024 / AlzeCure Pharma (STO:ALZCUR) (FRA:AC6) AlzeCure Pharma AB (publ) (FN STO: ALZCUR) today announced that its interim report for the period January - June 2024 is now available on the company's website: www.alzecurepharma.com/en/section/investors/financial-reports/
"The second quarter of 2024 was once again an active and positive period for AlzeCure Pharma, during which we applied for a patent based on new data concerning the anti-inflammatory effects of our clinical drug candidate ACD856, which is part of our NeuroRestore Alzheimer's project. We also had new preclinical data from our TrkA-NAM project accepted for presentation at the world-leading IASP pain conference. Furthermore, we published new clinical data from the Phase Ib study for our TRPV1 antagonist ACD440, which we are developing for the treatment of neuropathic pain. We also conducted a rights issue, which raised SEK 39.2 million and was supported by our leading principal owners, with the aim of both funding the continued development of our drug candidates and strengthening the company's financial position. The Annual General Meeting elected Dr. Jan Lundberg to serve on the Board of Directors. He has previously served as the global head of research and development at Eli Lilly, as well as global head of research at AstraZeneca. Dr. Lundberg was also a guarantor and invested in the issue without requiring financial compensation, in line with the company's principal owners. It is both motivating and gratifying that the company is keeping up the pace as it continues to deliver new data that strengthen our position, supported financially both by the company's principal owners and its current shareholders, and that we have also added many new shareholders."
Martin Jönsson, CEO
