Fra første kvartalspresentasjonen med Bravo.
“It’s a little bit embarrassing if we go to the next slide to talk about what I’ve done. Let me tell you that, after many years, unfortunately too many years, in big pharma – I joined a very small company in Spain. And for almost 14 years, we went through everything that a small biotech can go, from being private to raising money to merging with another company; building manufacturing facilities; selling manufacturing facilities; selling assets; financing the company in good times, in bad times. We ended up merging with a public company in Belgium. We went through a U.S. IPO, but more importantly, at the end, I think that there’s 2 big things that we achieved. One, we took a product in a completely novel field from 0 from the bench to the market and is still today the first ever allogeneic stem cell product to be approved, Alofisel. And also we managed, first, to license that compound for Europe to Takeda; and then to sell the company at a very nice premium to Takeda Pharmaceutical in June of this year. So that ended a very long trip of 14 years, staying in the good and bad times. So I know how it is, and this is not an easy sector. And I think that I’m very excited of joining Nordic Nanovector, which has gone a big way in that big journey of becoming a successful biopharmaceutical company.”
Svært relevant erfaring. Det er flere måter å finansiere dette på. Hadde vært moro å bli positivt overrasket…
En ting som jeg synes var spennende fra gårsdagens presentasjon var dette( hentet fra transkriptet):
“The fact that we have one single dose, a different mechanism of action as any other compound that is being used today in any of these NHL indications. And the safety profile makes it an ideal partner for combination therapy. This is the first one. But again, stay tuned. We have other ideas. We would like to do more combination trials going forward.”
Spennende hvordan det er tenkt finansiert også forsåvidt…
